Do you know that there are gate keepers purposely assigned to sabotage the mission of GOD on your life? Although David had enemies who schemed and plotted against him, the LORD always kept him one step ahead. You see, everything they thought David NEVER KNEW, GOD allowed to be revealed without his enemies having any idea.
When you have killed giants and people begin to sing songs about you, it will spark jealousies filled with enough envy and hatred that they will seek a way to kill you.
The "killing" may not necessarily be a physical one like in David and Jonathan's day but it is a killing or "snuffing out" of your message, your calling, movement, influence, power, anointing, expansion, and ministry. It is a warrant sent to stop and keep you from ever advancing.
But the true character of a man is tested and will always surface to the top especially during the fiery times of adversity. And even though pretentiousness paraded cloaked and masked underneath the seams of false friendship, lying lips, and crooked smiles, the LORD gave Jonathan and David insight, wisdom, and favor even when the odds were stacked against them. David's enemies and their corrupted plans were exposed each time as the LORD provided a way of escape for him.
Jonathan's life gives us a Biblical glimpse and insight of what friendship and loyalty really means. The Bible says that Jonathan loved David and he placed his own life and position at risk to defend him. Why? Because that was who he was. He was a just man whose righteous character surfaced during a time where great betrayals, greed, lust for power, and faux camaraderie reigned.
This type of friendship, though a rare commodity, can be found in Christ. For there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
Tilt your heart towards the SON!
