SERMON BY KELVIN OBONYO (THE FOUNDER)
2nd
Samuel 9
David
asked “Is there anyone still left of the
house of Saul to whom I can show Kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” 3
“Ziba answered the king, “there is still
a son of Jonathan; he is crippled in both legs” "5 so king David had him brought from Lo
Debar”
Ancient
people valued covenants and this is why David had to show favor on anyone from
the house of Saul.
Lo
Debar refers to a place of no communication. In fact, this was a slum. When
David heard that Mephibosheth was living in this slum, he had to send for him
to come and dine with him at his table. This was a turn-around for Mephobosheth
who people probably despised and judged based on his disability rather than
ability.
- At the table, everyone is equal
- At this same table, we will not
see your feet
So many youths have today run from church
because they are crippled and have no David to call them from Lo debar. To
them, church is full of hypocrites. They however don’t understanding that “not
going to church because there are so many hypocrites is same as not going to
gym because there are plump people.” They are there because they want help and
before they are perfected, you will have to cope up with their weaknesses.
Have
you realized that there is not even one police officer manning a public toilet
with a gun but there are many at every ATM machine? Where there is no value,
there is no attack. Are you an ATM or a Toilet?
In
a car, the main shield screen is always so large as opposed to the tiny side
mirror. This is so that as you drive, you pay more attention on where you are
headed rather than look back at Lo Debar.
John
9: 1-3 “1As He went along, He saw a man blind from
birth. 2 His
disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was
born blind?” “3 Neither this man nor his parents sinned,
said Jesus, “but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in
his life.”
Being
poor might not be your fault, but you should not remain there for life.
NOTE :You
are not single because you are ugly but because your attitude stinks. If you
can’t stand yourself, who will stand you?
People are like bags, you only
realize later in the relationship that they have hidden pockets deep within.
