A man from the tribe of Benjamin - Saul.
God's people wanted a king instead of the Lord.
God's people want science and logic instead of God.
"We want a king over us.
Then we will be like all the other nations,
with a king to lead us and to go out before us
and fight our battles."
- people of the Lord, 1 Samuel 8:19~20.
The first quality mentioned about Saul is very interesting:
He's a Benjamite. From the tribe of Benjamin, that is.
Benjamin was Joseph's little brother, the 12th tribe.
Why? I'm really not sure.
I believe it has something to do with the coming of Jesus.
And here's once again about how prophets draw people close to the Lord: worship with instruments:
...a procession of prophets coming down from the high place with lyres, tambourines, flutes, and harps being played before them, and they will be prophesying. The Spirit of the Lord will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person.
-1 Samuel 10:5~6-
I want to use this verse as one of my life-time verses. Lord, may Your Spirit fall upon kings and queens through my worship to You. Teach me how to prophesy through worship in a deeper level. Because this is what I'm passionate about--prophetic worship.
1. Prophets/Musicians
2. Worship and prophesy through music
3. Filled by the Spirit and start prophesy
4. Changed into a different person
You can talk about so many things just out of this verse!
God, You Word is so good and well written.
Lord let Your fire fall
We are in need of You
Our hearts are long for
Your presence
