Becoming God's Champion 2

PART 2 SIGNS OF BECOMING GOD'S CHAMPION • Sense of Responsibility. 1 Samuel 16:11 NLT Then Samuel asked, “Are these all the sons you have?” “There is still the youngest,” Jesse replied. “But he’s out in the fields watching the sheep and goats.” “Send for him at once,” Samuel said. “We will not sit down to eat until he arrives.” The state or fact of being accountable or to blame for something. You don't need to be called upon to do what you are meant to do. Obedience to fulfilling a task. Be ready to give accounts for everything you do. Finding a problem to solve. • Gifts to Serve Kings. 1 Samuel 16:18 NLT One of the servants said to Saul, “One of Jesse’s sons from Bethlehem is a talented harp player. Not only that—he is a brave warrior, a man of war, and has good judgment. He is also a fine-looking young man, and the LORD is with him.” Gift is your potential that will solve problems for others. Your gift is not for show up or show case is for problem solving. Your gift must be solving problems. • Gain Favour with Humans. 1 Samuel 16:21 NLT So David went to Saul and began serving him. Saul loved David very much, and David became his armor bearer. • A Person Ready to Obey Instructions. 1 Samuel 17:20 NLT So David left the sheep with another shepherd and set out early the next morning with the gifts, as Jesse had directed him. He arrived at the camp just as the Israelite army was leaving for the battlefield with shouts and battle cries. • Doing Everything to our Best. 1 Samuel 18:5 NLT Whatever Saul asked David to do, David did it successfully. So Saul made him a commander over the men of war, an appointment that was welcomed by the people and Saul’s officers alike
