1Chronicles 26, HIS Gatekeepers!

1Ch 26:1, CONCERNING THE DIVISIONS OF THE GATEKEEPERS:

We all have a part in GOD’s plan. If we are seen or in the background, we all are part of HIS Body each given different gifts!

Eph 3:7, of which I BECAME A MINISTER ACCORDING TO THE GIFT OF THE GRACE OF GOD GIVEN TO ME BY THE EFFECTIVE WORKING OF HIS POWER. 

Psa 84:10, For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I WOULD RATHER BE A DOORKEEPER IN THE HOUSE OF MY GOD THAN DWELL IN THE TENTS OF WICKEDNESS. 

1Ch 26:7-9, … WERE ABLE MEN. All these were of the sons of Obed-Edom, they and their sons and their brethren, ABLE MEN WITH STRENGTH FOR THE WORK: sixty-two of Obed-Edom. And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, EIGHTEEN ABLE MEN.

1Co 12:4-6, There are diversities of gifts, BUT THE SAME SPIRIT. There are differences of ministries, BUT THE SAME LORD. And there are diversities of activities, BUT IT IS THE SAME GOD WHO WORKS ALL IN ALL.

HE is always giving abilities to men for the work HE has for us on this earth! When the LORD calls on a man for the work of HIS ministry; HE also calls on mighty men of valor to support the LORD’s anointed! 

1Ch 12:8, …MIGHTY MEN OF VALOR, MEN TRAINED FOR BATTLE, WHO COULD HANDLE SHIELD AND SPEAR, WHOSE FACES WERE LIKE THE FACES OF LIONS, AND WERE AS SWIFT AS GAZELLES ON THE MOUNTAINS: 

It’s not about your strength’s or abilities; it’s about HIS mission for you! HE WILL EQUIP YOU FOR THE BATTLE AHEAD OF YOU!

1Ch 11, David & his mighty men!

1Ch 11:1-2, Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron, saying, “INDEED WE ARE YOUR BONE AND YOUR FLESH. Also, in time past, even when Saul was king, YOU WERE THE ONE WHO LED ISRAEL OUT AND BROUGHT THEM IN; and the LORD YOUR GOD SAID TO YOU, ‘YOU SHALL SHEPHERD MY PEOPLE ISRAEL, AND BE RULER OVER MY PEOPLE ISRAEL.’ “

A leader must be of the people, and demonstrate an ability to lead! But most important he must be called by GOD to lead!

1Ch 11:3, …And they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel. 

David was a shepherd of his father’s flock, but now he is the shepherd of his heavenly Father’s flock! He has a great responsibility!

Eph 4:11, And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 

YET, a leader must have mighty men following him! One example of this is Eleazar!

2Sa 23:9-10, And after him was Eleazar… one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel had retreated. He arose and attacked the Philistines until his hand was weary, AND HIS HAND STUCK TO THE SWORD. THE LORD BROUGHT ABOUT A GREAT VICTORY THAT DAY…

ELEAZAR FOUGHT UNTIL HIS SWORD WAS STUCK ON HIS HAND! MAY OUR SWORD BE EVER IN OUR HANDS AS WE FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT; FOR THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH!

Psa 108:13, Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.

1Chronicles 10, Valiant men!

1Ch 10:6-7, SO SAUL AND HIS THREE SONS DIED, and all his house died together. AND WHEN ALL THE MEN OF ISRAEL WHO WERE IN THE VALLEY SAW THAT THEY HAD FLED AND THAT SAUL AND HIS SONS WERE DEAD, THEY FORSOOK THEIR CITIES AND FLED; then the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

After 9 Chapters of Genealogies, We start with the end of Saul, the first king of Israel!

Mar 14:27, Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: ‘I WILL STRIKE THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP WILL BE SCATTERED.’ 

1Ch 10:11-12, And when all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, all the valiant men arose and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons; and they brought them to Jabesh…

While some men run from the battle valiant men run towards the battle!

Jer 9:3, … THEY ARE NOT VALIANT FOR THE TRUTH ON THE EARTH. For they proceed from evil to evil, AND THEY DO NOT KNOW ME,” …

We must be valiant in the Truth of HIS word; not ashamed of it, but boldly proclaiming it!

Rom 1:16, FOR I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, FOR IT IS THE POWER OF GOD TO SALVATION FOR EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES,…

Psa 119:46, I WILL SPEAK OF YOUR TESTIMONIES ALSO BEFORE KINGS, AND WILL NOT BE ASHAMED. 

Prepare yourself, know HIS word and stand in the strength of HIS WORD, for it is the truth!
