FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Samuel 11:6-19
6 And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.

7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.

8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king’s house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.

9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.

10 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?

11 And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.

12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.

13 And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.

14 And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.

16 And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were.

17 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.

18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;

19 And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,

SATURDAY JANUARY 18 MESSAGE:-
There is a popular story in the Bible about how King David committed adultery with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah.

Uriah, a Hittite, became one of the trusted soldiers of the army of Israel. He was in the battle-front fighting against the enemies of the land, the Ammonites, while the king defiled his wife back home. Unknown to Uriah, the strange summon by the King was to set him up as if he was the one responsible for the wife’s pregnancy. As such, the king would have succeeded in covering his sin of adultery with Bathsheba.

King David asked that Uriah be made drunk so much that he would not be in his right senses while he went in to sleep with his wife. But to the amazement of the king, even being drunk with wine could not downplay the loyalty or Uriah to him (the king) and the nation of Israel. Uriah slept at the door of his house.

This action infuriated the king! He sought a more dangerous and decisive strategy for eliminating Uriah. A letter was given to Uriah to be handed over to Joab, the captain of the army. Little did Uriah know that he carried his own death warrant to the chief executor. This man was obedient unto death!

He couldn’t lay aside the armor for a few minutes of pleasure. He was so committed to the victory that awaited Israel that being with his wife appeared a momentary and temporary pleasure that could wait till he got back home from the war. The victory of the nation Israel was paramount on his heart The love for his wife came second! What a patriotic spirit and a devoted soldier of Israel.

Joab, in obedience to the king, positioned Uriah at the hottest spot in the battle-front. The man was killed by the enemies’ bullets. Uriah died the death of the champion! He won the battle over sin and disloyalty. He remained a principled man till death. He was more considerate of others in the battle-front.

Uriah passed the test of loyalty to the king, leadership and constituted authority. He passed the test of patriotism. He passed the test or self-centredness. He passed the test of misplacement of priorities.

Beloved, How will you fare if you are faced with these tests?
