“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Proverbs 29: 18

Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but happy is he who keeps the law.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

If prophecy manifests within us, the bride, the church then our soul will be safeguarded in his counsel.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that our soul, the bride, the church should eat only in the Lord’s Holy Supper.

Next what we are meditating upon is that 1 Kings 1: 11 – 18 So Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, “Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king, and David our lord does not know it? 

Come, please, let me now give you advice, that you may save your own life and the life of your son Solomon. 

Go immediately to King David and say to him, ‘Did you not, my lord, O king, swear to your maidservant, saying, “Assuredly your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne”? Why then has Adonijah become king?’ 

Then, while you are still talking there with the king, I also will come in after you and confirm your words.”

So Bathsheba went into the chamber to the king. (Now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.) 

And Bathsheba bowed and did homage to the king. Then the king said, “What is your wish?”

Then she said to him, “My lord, you swore by the Lord your God to your maidservant, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.’ 

So now, look! Adonijah has become king; and now, my lord the king, you do not know about it.

In the above-mentioned verses, Nathan who came to know that Adonijah said that he will become king spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, “Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king, and David our lord does not know it? Come, please, let me now give you advice, that you may save your own life and the life of your son Solomon. Go immediately to King David and say to him, ‘Did you not, my lord, O king, swear to your maidservant, saying, “Assuredly your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne”? Why then has Adonijah become king?’ Then, while you are still talking there with the king, I also will come in after you and confirm your words.” So Bathsheba went into the chamber to the king. (Now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.)  And Bathsheba bowed and did homage to the king. Then the king said, “What is your wish?” Then she said to him, “My lord, you swore by the Lord your God to your maidservant, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.’ So now, look! Adonijah has become king; and now, my lord the king, you do not know about it. And he in 1 Kings 1: 19 – 21 He has sacrificed oxen and fattened cattle and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the commander of the army; but Solomon your servant he has not invited. 

And as for you, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him. 

Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king rests with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be counted as offenders.”

While Bathsheba was speaking the above-mentioned words to David Nathan the prophet also came in.

My dear people, whom the Lord chose was Solomon who was borne to David by Bathsheba. Even though God had promised that only that Solomon will sit on the throne of David, Adonijah is saying that he will become king and we see that he is giving a feast. Therefore to make the promise strong Bathsheba is going to David and when she is telling him the things the prophet Nathan is coming in there. This shows that our Lord Jesus Christ will come on the throne and within us Christ will manifest as a prophet so that foreign deeds will not work within us, he will be our counsellor and will safeguard us. The explanations regarding this if God wills, we will meditate in the coming days. In this manner, Christ will manifest within us as a prophet and to redeem us from the foreign spirits let us submit ourselves.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
