Introduction
Good day to all! Let's delve into the eighth chapter of 2 Samuel. This is a chapter I particularly cherish, for I believe that triumph is superior to defeat, and affluence undeniably better than poverty! If one has God's presence throughout life, God will grant you victory! The theme of this chapter is straightforward; those who study the Bible with me regularly will find grasping the main point exceptionally easy. In any matter, seizing the key point simplifies everything. Wherever David went, the Lord gave him victory – this is the theme we are to explore.
Throughout life, one should emulate David. Do you know what David grasped as the most crucial aspect of living? It was serving God, building a temple for the Lord God. For the generation we inhabit, the pivotal task is to build a glorious church for God. Is it man building His glorious church on his own, or co-laboring with God to build His glorious church? It is assuredly co-laboring with God! Firstly, we must possess a heart that seeks to build God’s glorious church. As discussed in the previous chapter, 2 Samuel chapter seven, it was from Moses to David that God's heart was finally satisfied.
God had been waiting, and finally, He found David, a vessel fit for use! David said, “O God! I will build a glorious temple for you. Since ancient times, you have dwelt in a tent, while I live in a palace of cedar, which seems inappropriate.” With just this intention, David soared to a level of triumph! Coming to our Chinese Mingding Destiny, you might feel you have come to a victorious church, finding it truly wonderful here! This is because a small group of people once resolved: “O God! We will co-labor with You to build God’s glorious church, to build the body of Jesus Christ!”
This marks the inception of Chinese Mingding Destiny. What follows is extraordinary – triumph in spiritual warfare! This is what we have been longing for. What we pursue is like David, that wherever David went, the Lord gave him victory! These words resonate profoundly! You might, with a woman's kindness, find David killing thousands here and thousands there as too bloody! You find it bloody, as do I. But we must recognise that God favoured David, and God granted him victory – is that not good? People wanting to build a temple for God must use gold, silver, and treasures. Where do the gold, silver, and treasures come from? David seized them from the surrounding areas – anyway, they are all unrighteous wealth, so seizing them is all right.
David’s Level of Victory Continuously Ascends
David has traveled a long road from the past to the present, building a temple for the Lord God, a journey spanning over two decades. A seventeen-year-old lad, fleeing from Saul's persecution, began to wander. In the blink of an eye, he became a gentleman nearing forty. His hair is thinning, revealing his scalp; wrinkles emerge; he has aged. From a handsome young man to a handsome gentleman, David has experienced too much in his life! He was pursued by Saul in the wilderness, sojourning under King Achish of the Philistines. Later, after King Saul died, he became king of Judah.
However, the other tribes of Israel were still under Saul's son and Abner. It was later that the other tribes of Israel submitted to David. After this, the most important thing David thought of was bringing the Ark of the Covenant into the city, but during the transportation of the Ark, David saw Uzzah being struck down by God. So the Ark went to the house of Obed-Edom. When David saw that Obed-Edom was blessed by God, he brought the Ark into the City of David. As a result, God caused David to be at peace on all sides, and the surrounding enemies did not disturb them. Ordinary people might think it's good that the enemies don't come to disturb them, but at this time, David wanted to build a temple for God.
By the eighth chapter of 2 Samuel, David had subdued the surrounding neighboring countries. The reason why David's dynasty was the strongest dynasty in Israel's history is because he had God in his heart. David had a heart to serve God and build a temple for God, and God caused him to constantly expand. The process of expansion is actually very bloody, because to make the surrounding countries submit, it is not possible to subdue them without teaching them a lesson. After David defeated these countries, the surrounding nations were incorporated into the kingdom's territory, all of them paying tribute to David.
So we must not have a woman's kindness, because a woman's kindness is not what God wants. Nowhere in the entire Bible does it say that a woman's kindness is God's will. God's will is to make His people the head and not the tail, to be above and not beneath. If you are above, someone must be beneath. If you have a woman's kindness and don't like being above all nations, then you can only be beneath.
Build a church, it should be a victorious church, or let's not do it. If we do it, we must do it at the top of the pyramid, that would be great! That's a mindset of pursuing victory and excellence. The most important thing in life is to grasp a concept, which is to build God's glorious church. If you don't have such a concept in your heart yet, then start having it. If you develop this concept, a person spends their whole life, busy from their teens to their twenties, back to square one; busy from their twenties to their thirties, back to square one; busy from their thirties to their forties, back to square one; busy from their forties to their fifties, back to square one; busy from their fifties to their sixties, then it's not back to square one, but close to the end, so stop being so busy.
I have seen many people who are just busy all day long. They will say: Build a temple, serve God, where do I have time? Don't you see how busy I am? I say: With your little self, can you win? You don't have God, what victory can you have in the spiritual realm? If you don't win in the spiritual realm, aren't you just living like a bumpkin in this world? Everyone must know that people must constantly improve on the spiritual level! We in Chinese Mingding Destiny have come to where we are today, thanks to God! But have we reached David's level? Not yet! We must follow God and continue to improve our level of victory, passing through trials and tribulations in the spiritual world, constantly expanding the territory of God's kingdom, so that God's will may be satisfied once again.
Subdued All Neighboring Countries
In this chapter, David may not have reached the point of subduing all neighboring countries, but he is basically close. In the previous chapters, when David led his troops to fight, he would ask God: God, can I attack? God said: Yes, and He also taught David how to fight. Who is commanding the battle? It's God! In the spiritual world, relying on God is the only way to win. Regarding the matter of victory, in this chapter of 2 Samuel, the author writes:
After this, David attacked the Philistines and subdued them, taking the authority of the capital from their hands. (2 Samuel 8:1)
The author did not write how David fought. David is a person who trusts in God, and when he fought the Philistines, it was definitely God who gave him the idea. God told him how to fight, and he fought that way. He did what God said. David is such a person, and it is the same in the spiritual world. The spirit behind the Philistines is too small compared to the Spirit of God. David's attack on the Philistines was actually a battle in the spiritual realm. Once the battle in the spiritual realm began, David attacked the Philistines, subdued them, and seized their capital. The author simply and briefly passed over the scene of the Philistines being destroyed, defeated, and subdued in one sentence.
This is like us fighting spiritual battles. When Old Ma is subdued, we also gloss over it. In fact, the whole process of the battle is still an exercise of faith and a process of trusting in God. David's second target of battle was the Moabites.
He also attacked the Moabites, making them lie down on the ground, and measuring them with a rope. He measured two ropes to be put to death, and one rope to be left alive. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute. (2 Samuel 8:2)
It's like we're counting numbers, number one is on this side, number two is on that side, and after number two is called, they are killed. What kind of reason is this? That's so unlucky! Whoever is called number two is killed, and whoever is called number one is left alive. What is the reason for this? This is fate! Who told you to call out number two? Who told you to measure two ropes? People can make mistakes, but can God make mistakes? Absolutely not! The person lying down doesn't even know. The rows are neatly laid out, half a meter per person, two per meter. Leave one, kill one. This sounds very bloody, but if you look at it with spiritual eyes, it's all fate, and God is absolutely right. How to get rid of that unlucky number two? Isn't that called number two? Speaking of which, this person is really foolish, isn't it just measuring two ropes?
It's the same with us, saying this person is foolish, it doesn't sound very good. Measure one rope to be left alive, measure two ropes to be killed. We feel that this is not quite right, but in fact, this is God's doing. I have seen some things that are beyond my imagination, many random things, behind them are spiritual abilities controlling them. One year, I had a whim, I don't know if it was what others call a feeling, I don't like to use the word feeling, I'm afraid everyone will pursue it. If you pursue it and get the wrong feeling, it will be very upsetting. For example, someone says that God moved me to buy this property, and as a result, I lost money as soon as I bought it. Someone says: God moved me to do this business, and as a result, I lost money as soon as I did it.
If you are moved wrongly, who can you blame? So I don't encourage everyone to pursue feelings. But at that time, I really had a whim to make annual draw cards. People who have been with us long enough should remember that this was many years ago. In fact, I used a computer to calculate a random number, and arranged those blessings in order, about three or five hundred of them. Then, let everyone draw randomly. The result was very accurate! I was so surprised at the time. It turns out that in random times, God is in control!
There is a joke that is very interesting. A sister drew a card for her former pastor. I also know this pastor. The card said, I regret making Saul king. Should I send it or not? I think it's better not to send it, just understand it in your heart, that pastor really looks like Saul.
David attacked the Moabites, making them lie down on the ground, and measuring them with a rope: measuring two ropes to be killed, measuring one rope to be left alive. Why? Only in this way would they submit and pay tribute to David. Previously, the Israelites paid tribute to the Moabites, but now the Moabites pay tribute to the Israelites. It is good to have a strong country, Israel became the leader among the nations, and other countries were all Israel's little brothers. So we connect the matter of how to become rich with victory. Is the result the same whether people pay tribute to you or you pay tribute to them?
The Qing Dynasty government always lost battles, paying people 10,000 taels of silver, and paying people 1,000 taels of gold tomorrow. They were always bullied, lost battles, and had to pay money. Where can you reason with this? So it's good to have a strong country! Who doesn't think it's good to be strong? It's not a good thing to be bullied all the time. Later, David also defeated Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah. Why? Because Hadadezer wanted to regain their kingdom, so David attacked them:
When Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, went to restore his monument at the Euphrates River, David defeated him, capturing from him 1,700 horsemen, 20,000 foot soldiers, and 100 chariots. David had all but 100 of the chariot horses hamstrung.(2 Samuel 8:3-4)
Later, he also defeated the Arameans of Damascus.
And when the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck down 22,000 Aramean men. (2 Samuel 8:5)
Why defeat them? Because if you don't defeat them, they will come and defeat you. Later, when Toi king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer, he sent his son to bring gold, silver, and treasures to David as tribute. Because Toi king of Hamath and Hadadezer king of Zobah were naturally at odds. David defeated the king of Zobah, and the king of Hamath came to pay tribute. He came to thank David and brought money. Later, David also obtained more than 200 tons of gold. What era was that? It was more than 3,000 years ago. Building the temple of the Lord, the walls were covered with gold. Now the decoration is good if you can buckle aluminum panels, wooden panels, etc. People buckled gold panels. The entire temple was magnificent and extraordinarily good.
I have been to a place where there is a large golden statue, which is several galloping horses. Many years ago, those horses were shimmering with gold. Many years later, I came to that place again, and those horses were still shimmering with gold. I thought they were well maintained, because that was a symbol of the city's achievements. They said: It's not maintenance, because those horses are all gold-plated, and they shine without much care. I thought if it was gold, why didn't anyone come to steal it? There must be cameras watching closely, waiting for someone to come and steal it.
The temple that David built was all made of gold as buckles. Where did this gold come from? It came from the Arameans, Moabites, Ammonites, Philistines, and Amalekites. Later, King Solomon had more people send gold, silver, and treasures. People come to pay tribute, they directly send you money, which is related to victory, so victory can be blessed. These years I have been casting out demons, do you know what I have heard? Demons often say: I will bring the money on a bullock cart and send it to you; sometimes demons will say, I will transport it tomorrow at noon. Are there any bullock carts? In the material world, I haven't seen them, but in the spiritual realm, they definitely exist. Demons just say: Tomorrow at 12 noon, harness the bullock cart and transport the gold to you. I want to tell everyone that Chinese Mingding Destiny is really not poor.
Let's extend from David here. I have summed up a very interesting concept. If a person does not win, they will be poor. How is this going on? Preachers are very poor, which is basically closely related to not winning, because this person is always rubbed on the ground by demons, and the money they earn is taken away by demons, all given as tribute to demons, and they are always unlucky. Can this be good? They get sick for no reason, and after they get sick, they go to the most expensive hospital to see a doctor, and as a result, they have to spend hundreds of thousands.
Some people are not sick, but they are sick in their hearts. There was a brother's mother who was like this before. His mother went to the hospital in Handan for an examination. The doctor said she wasn't sick. His mother said: That's not okay, their examination is not accurate; then she went to the hospital in Shijiazhuang, and they also said she wasn't sick; his mother said again: That's not accurate either; she went to the hospital in Tianjin again, and they also said she wasn't sick; finally, she went to the China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing. The hospitals in Beijing are so expensive, and the doctor asked: What's wrong with you?? She said: I went to these hospitals in Handan, Shijiazhuang, and Tianjin, and they didn't find any illness. The doctor understood as soon as he heard it. If they don't find out that she is sick, will she give up? He simply said: You are sick, thank God you came to us, and then he spent hundreds of thousands of savings, and only when the money was all gone did she agree to go home. Can a person live a good life if they only fight losing battles? They can't!
David was a mighty warrior, and he was highly skilled in martial arts. He had God's halo on him, and wherever he went, the Lord God gave him victory. It would be very good if this sentence was applied to you! Wherever you go, the Lord God gives you victory! Because you have a heart to build a glorious church; wherever I go, the Lord God gives me victory, because I have a heart to build a glorious church, that's how it's connected. If I don't have a heart to build a church, it will be troublesome.
Some preachers are very poor because they are poor in their hearts and cannot overcome. This is the greatest tragedy in a person's life. In fact, victory is God's help. Is victory good? Of course, it is. What if you seize a lot of gold and silver after victory? If you say to God, God! Don't you love gold and silver? Then leave it to me. Then you are completely finished. Although God does not like gold and silver treasures, God hopes even more that you will not be controlled by gold and silver treasures.
David Dedicated All the Gold and Silver to God
When David dedicated gold and silver to God, his mentality was very positive. He said, God! I dedicate to You what comes from You. I actually have the opportunity to dedicate to You. Because he knew that his victory, no matter which one, was given to him by God, and the gold and silver obtained after the victory should have been dedicated to God. We must imitate David, loving God only and not gold and silver. This divides people into two categories: one category loves money and serves Mammon; the other category loves God and serves God alone. Those who serve Mammon think that Mammon can give them the future; but those who serve God know that God gives them the future, so they are all sanctified.
We must all continue to learn this lesson, offering the best to God. If you offer the best to God, you cannot say to God, God! Look at how much I have offered. Is that yours? No. That was originally given to you by God. David offered a lot to God, and David lived a very good life! David used his life to build God's glorious temple, but occasionally he was confused, and the whole person became dizzy. In this generation, we must ask for God's mercy. Never start to swell up after victory. Things will happen after swelling up, so don't think too highly of yourself. Never think, I am very rich. Every penny is earned by myself.
Some people in Shenzhen have become very rich and are very grateful to an old man, because this old man carried out reform and opening up, which made these people very rich. This old man drew a circle in Shenzhen, and that place became a special zone. Even villagers in the special zone who are not very capable have become very wealthy. Being rich has nothing to do with these people's abilities, but with the fact that the old man drew a circle, and this person happened to be in that circle, so he is very rich, but the money was not earned by him.
Some people do not know that it was the government's policy that made him rich. He said, Every penny was earned by my hard work. As a result, he was finished before long. Never think that every penny is earned by our hard work. Every penny of us Christians is not earned by our own hard work. If you think it was earned by yourself, then you are finished. Every penny is given to you by God, so is there any problem with dedicating it to God? No problem. What's more, when you dedicate to God, God will make you even richer, which is great! Never think that you are helping God. It is all God's grace that makes you obtain it. Now everyone understands why I say every time: If you do not understand the meaning of dedication, never dedicate, because the church does not lack money, what it lacks is that you have a heart to build God's glorious church.
Setting Up Forts
Since it was God who made David victorious, why set up forts? Without setting up forts, wouldn't God still make you victorious? Many people go to extremes when they read the Bible. God made David victorious wherever he went! This is true, but is it necessary to set up forts? It is still necessary. When setting up forts, we must have a managerial mindset and station these soldiers in the forts, so that soldiers from other countries will have no chance to attack. For example, if the U.S. military is stationed in South Korea, South Korea has to listen to the U.S. obediently; if the U.S. military is stationed in Japan, dare Japan not listen to the U.S.? They dare not! Behind every army, there are political matters, so David set up forts everywhere, and God prevented the surrounding enemies from disturbing him. Now all the enemies are neighboring countries, which have become affiliated countries of Israel. Wherever David stationed troops, that place had to pay tribute to David every year, which was actually to prevent these affiliated countries from rebelling.
Everyone must gradually develop a concept of working with God to build God's glorious church. Don't say, I already trust God, so I don't need to do anything. But you still have the responsibilities you should fulfill. This responsibility is management. You must manage this place well. How to manage it? It is to set up forts and station troops there. We must do what we should do. Our Chinese Mingding Destiny must gain a firm foothold in the spiritual world and build up the army of God step by step, and then station troops in various parts of the spiritual world to suppress the ghosts in that place. Building God's glorious church is also setting up forts, which is part of building a glorious church. We must all be raised up to be managers, so that we can guard the territories that belong to us in the promised land that God has given us.
David Also Established His Management Team
David reigned over all Israel, doing what was just and right for all his people. Joab son of Zeruiah was the commander of the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder; Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelek son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was secretary; Benaiah son of Jehoiada was commander of the Kerethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief officials at his side. (2 Samuel 8:15-18)
David established his management team, so management is also our responsibility. Training the leadership team to do their job well is our responsibility. We must never throw the responsibility to God. You entrust what God has entrusted to you back to God. Is God your servant? Kicking the ball back and forth? That would be troublesome. Therefore, management is a responsibility entrusted to us by God, which is the essence of Chinese Mingding Destiny. God created all things in the universe, placed us on the earth, and allowed us to manage the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and the beasts on the earth, and allowed us to be fruitful and multiply and govern the earth. So managing this earth is our responsibility.
Some people's logic and theological logic system are somewhat absurd. The absurdity lies in the fact that they are not willing to talk about the responsibilities they should fulfill. They like to emphasize God's power. They emphasize God's sovereignty and then entrust it to God. These people are waiting to go to heaven. What are they going to do in heaven? They don't even know. There is no specific description in the Bible of what to do there. But in fact, God's intention in creating man is to manage all things on earth. What is needed for management? It requires battles, marshals, fighting, managing the army, and also a historian to record history and do writing work. In addition, there must also be a high priest to manage matters related to priests, and Seraiah as a secretary.
Everyone must start to develop the habit of management, start to improve our management level in various ministries, so that we can fulfill our management responsibilities, because that is the practice of faith! No matter what you do, do it with a heart of trusting in God.
God Made David's Name Great
David was an amazing person. In terms of literary talent, he was a poet who wrote many psalms; in terms of fighting battles, his martial arts were very strong. David could kill lions, tigers, and black bears alone. It is hard to imagine how strong his martial arts were. David was a civil and military general, meaning a military general with culture. He was also a management genius, very good at management, very good at handling interpersonal relationships, and very shrewd in dealing with people. David did everything shrewdly. David was already a shrewd person when he was a child of sixteen or seventeen years old. God made David's name great. Is it because of these things? No. It is because he was extremely humble before God.
When David returned home to bless his family, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, disrobing in the sight of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!” David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the Lord’s people Israel—I will celebrate before the Lord. I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.” (2 Samuel 6:20-22)
A person who is humble before God, knowing that he is just a person, knowing his limitations, and willing to trust God, God will make your name great. David fought a battle to the left and a battle to the right, and David gained a great name.
And David smote the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men; and he got a name. And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all the Edomites became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. (2 Samuel 8:13-14)
So everyone will tell a story that David is too powerful and is a victorious general. The Lord was with David, and God made him victorious wherever he went. So those who fought with David were so frightened that they shivered before they even fought. God made David's name great, and the name was earned through battle. If you don't dare to cast out demons, you won't be able to solve people's problems. I give you the best advice: No matter how old you are, be a demon-caster. God will make your name great in the spiritual realm, and you will not lack money.
Today's children are desperately trying to get into college. If I were to give you an idea, don't go to college. Because many people, even if they get into Tsinghua or Peking University, are still fools and become nothing after graduation. Be a demon-caster, and your name will be great in the spiritual realm, and you will definitely not lack money. Because demons will listen to you and send you money. Trusting God and having God's presence are priceless treasures. Trusting God starts from fighting, because the name is earned through battle. In the early years, our church started from casting out demons. Why? Because various problems cannot be solved. If we don't cast out demons, what should we do?
For example, if a patient with depression comes, what else can we do besides casting out the demon of depression? If the hospital could cure it, they wouldn't come to me. A couple raised three children, and the whole family was possessed by demons. One of the children had Down syndrome, and both parents were mentally ill. How do you think this family can live? Someone introduced them to us, and I led them to pray. It was a tough battle because the child couldn't say a word. I led him to pray, and he could only say, Hallelujah. Later, he gradually became able to speak. Behind Down syndrome is a demon. What about the child's mother? She was crawling on the carpet, constantly drooling sticky saliva. I collected a whole plastic bag, and as a result, her depression was completely cured, and she was able to work.
Those were things from the early years. Casting out every demon took a lot of effort, but I gained a great name in the spiritual world: This kid is too powerful! Later, when I was casting out demons, I saw a group of demons in a vision. They were about a meter tall, standing on two legs, with the other two legs hanging down, like animals standing up. Their eyes were glowing fiercely, staring straight at me. They said, It's bad luck to see him, and then they ran away. When the demon ran away, the person was released! Because the demon knew my name and recognized me as soon as it heard my name.
I was wondering why the demon said it was bad luck to see me? It turned out that I was very famous in the spiritual world. Any demon that encountered me was finished. Some lasted for a few years, some for a few days, and some for a few months. I would definitely cast out the demon because I never gave up. So God wants to make your name great, and your name is earned through battle. Start building your reputation in the spiritual world. This reputation is earned from casting out demons. It would be great if people in the spiritual realm knew your name and demons shivered as soon as they heard your name!
My most powerful thing is not persisting one minute more than the devil. My most powerful thing is having a very clear understanding of God's word. Chinese Mingding Destiny reads God's word more clearly than many people. It is a bit difficult for demons to deceive me. So when fighting spiritual battles, I found that Jesus's few dialogues with the devil were still effective:
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” (Matthew 4:1-4)
This is very well said. Ordinary pastors do not have as deep an understanding of God's word as I do. They lose battles in the spiritual world, and demons look down on them. Once I was casting out a demon, and the demon said, I won't go out. I said, Why won't you go out? The demon said, I have nowhere to go. I said, There is a nightclub in the back. Aren't there many prostitutes and customers there? The demon said, I won't go. I said, Why won't you go? Isn't that your place? The demon said, I want to go to church. It turned out that demons like to go to church. I happened to know a church, and I said, Then you can go to that church. The demon said, I won't go. I asked, Why won't you go? The demon said, Peasants.
Actually, it's not that farmers are not good, but to some extent, they don't have enough knowledge, they have a small-scale peasant mentality, so the demon calls that church peasants, and even the demon looks down on it. The church we built, even if demons can mix in among us and lose the battle, they still have the capital to brag about when they go back! It's normal to lose to David, because at least they fought with David. This is like MMA and UFC boxing. If you can fight two moves with the world champion, you are very powerful, because to get to the finals, you have to go through many stages before you are qualified to compete with others.
So the name is earned through battle, through winning battles. We must all start to practice victory in the spiritual world, and God will surely make your name great! Who makes your name great? It is God. Who do you rely on to cast out demons? We cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ. Everyone must bow at the name of Jesus Christ. In the world, if you talk to people about Jesus, they may not be willing to listen to you, but try it in the spiritual realm, and the demons will be so frightened that they shiver. We humble ourselves before God, trust God well, and then constantly cast out demons and trample on the enemies of the devil in the spiritual world. You must definitely be able to kill your way to fame after going through many stages!
After I say these things, what can you see? That is victory is a particularly good thing! Especially victory in the spiritual world! David was almost at the peak of his life at this time. A person under forty years old was infinitely glorious wherever he went, and the people around him came to submit to him. You need a lot of face to be able to meet and eat with David, because David is the king of the world's number one power. This is how a person's reputation comes from! I can't wait for brothers and sisters to build God's glorious temple with me in the spiritual world, build a glorious church, so that God's name can be glorified because of us, and because of God's glory, God makes our name great!
May God bless everyone!
