THE MIGHTY MAN OF VALOR - DAVID
2 Samuel 23:8 -12
Shamma stood in the midst, he didn't flee. He stationated himself. We have to stationate and defend. The three men loved David so much.
- if you didn't learn to love your leader, you can't leasten him.
- names are noticed
- Can you be a mighty person?
- those who fight for the Kingdom of God, the Lord will bring them victory. Shamma had strategy, he stood in the middle. Paul defended the Gospel more than he preached it.
- when people run away, don't run with them
- when situation are law, they are law and when they are high, they are high
- be good in all circumstances. Paul is not changed by circumstances but he changes the circumstances.
- is not about what people say about you, give them time to see you.

DO WHAT YOU CAN DO
- when Jesus comes, He doesn't come for one minute, but He stays with us
- there is a word which addresses in your situation if you are in the place where you have to be
1 Samuel 1:9-28.Hannah did what she could do and what she should do, the rest she left for the next stage - for God to answer
- maybe on your own you can change the situations
Getting prayers answers:
- which is the place where you have to pray from?
-we are able to deal with the situations
- she was praying alone
- timetable= the things where you are struggled
- if you know how to pray, you are able to change the circumstances. Do what you can do and the rest comes. Anybody is able of building the dream house, you are not worry about tomorrow
How you are able on your own to substain your situation:
- put your prayer on achieving your answer, not on time
- what benefit there was for her: the house of the Lord; you can meet the men of God, the angels there. She came alone to pray when it wasn't church program.
- God put so much value in His house because there things are happening
Psalms 118:17. I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord.
- David prayed in his situation and he found favour at God
- Daniel 10:6,7
- in one Scripture, there are a lot of meanings
RULES: water distroys the ship, but the ship stays on water. Stay on top, our enemy is the world, we live in it , but it can't distroy us. Daniel was on top
- realize why God called you to pray alone

THE BOOK OF TITUS

- this is a letter of openning the eyes of apostols, that they can learn to lead the men from Crete and about their weaknesses.

- here are all kind of people from different countries and religions

(Jesus went in wilderness lead by the Holy Spirit, he reminded to Jesus the words when He wes temted by the devil).
- how are you, are you doing well? it is about you
- you are remembered for doing well
- it is very important what the leader says about you
- forget about the past and concentrate on what you should be
- command respect
- reduce ignorance
- it is about being genuine, it's not about knowing everything
- encourage and rebuke: when you encourage someone, remember that you were like them; when you rebuke, do it right.
