Lesson 494: DAVID PART 1

INTRODUCTION:
Of all the Old Testament saints there is hardly anyone that can be related to the New Testament Christian better than David. He was almost everything a Christian is expected to be. That is why we believe that a close study of his life will be of tremendous blessings to us. May the Lord teach us Himself In Jesus name.

1. DAVID WAS MUCH MORE THAN A KING
David was not just a king. He was several other things, for example; he was a musician, warrior, priest, prophet, shepherd and dancer among others. We are suppose to be all these too.
2Sam.2:4;1Sam.16:17-18.ISam.17;32; 1 Sam.30:7- 8, Ps. 22:1; .ISam1.16:11 I Sam.16:13;2; 1Sam.6:14- 16. 1Sam.12:13; Rev.1;5-6; Eph.6: 10- 12; Eph.5:19; 1Pet.2:9 Acts.2:16-17. Eph.2:4-8.

2. BEWARE: GOD ALWAYS HAS A SUBSTITUTE
David probably would not have come to the limelight but for the sins of king Saul. We need to be aware that God always has a substitute for anyone who fails him. I Sam.16: 1,13-14; I Sam.2: 27-30, Acts 1:16-20, Ps. 75:6-7; Acts10:34-35; Rev. 3:11.
