2 Samuel Chapter 9
The Covenant: Affected The Descendants of Jonathon:
The Outcome: Mephibosheth is promoted, placed, prospered, provided for, he is given a land and an inheritance his birth rite is restored. His wealthy place means he no longer needs to work. He is a child of the king, a kingdom kid.
The Meaning: This chapter of scripture has a much deeper application for us today. It is a type and shadow of the following:
Typology: King David (God the King) the covenant (Jesus who shed His blood on the cross for mankind) the entourage (The Holy Spirit who goes out looking for the sinner). Mephibosheth (a sinner) who is paralysed living in Lo Debar (obscurity, low life, low lifestyle) below Kingdom rights, privileges and benefits. He is paralysed (the effect of sin on man) we cannot elevate or empower ourselves it has to come from God.
Today: New Testament believers are part of a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). Where the word of a king is, there is great power (Ecc 8:4).
Application: God will visit you, God will promote you, place you, prosper you, and provide for you. God will change your location from a barren low lifestyle to a table prepared for you in the presence of your enemies (Psalms 23). God can send out angels on assignment to look for you. He can turn your negative low lifestyle into a positive high life, from a down and outer, to an up and outer. All because of the covenant He cut with us at Calvary!!! 2 Corinthians 5:17 says we are new creations, all things are become new! A divine transformation.
Question: How many people in the body of Christ and are living up to all the kingdom rights privileges and benefits that Calvary has procured for us?!!!
Remember: the Mephibosheth model, a miraculous turn around empowered lifestyle living in the kingdom now!! The blood of Jesus has not been shed invain!!! It has power and it has procurement!!!!
