Saul was given a direct command.
Saul disobeyed God - Did not kill all:
Saul wanted to disobey God, but he needed good excuses
Samuel saw this, but Saul made excuses
Repeated his excuses in vs. 21
We often do the same thing in our own lives
We disobey, but we still want to look good
We also make excuses according to Saul’s plan
#1 Spiritual Sounding
(to those who didn’t know God’s command)
For Sacrifice(balidaan)
The animals are for the Lord!
Doesn’t the Lord want us to sacrifice?
Sacrifice is a good thing, right?
This is spiritual - giving to the Lord
Hera aagyaapaalan garnu balidaan-bhandaa uttam ho!
People will say:
The spirit is leading me
I believe this is God’s will
This will help me to spread the gospel
The Holy Spirit will never lead you against God’s Word
God did not want his sacrifice
God wanted his obedience.
That’s not the Holy Spirit
That’s another spirit
That’s an evil spirit
Saul says that rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft(jokhanaa herne)
Don’t use a spiritual-sounding excuse(aatmiki justai sunieko bahaana)
1 sam 15:
Just obey
#2 Practical/Logical Sounding(byabahaarik justai)
We can’t waste the best animals!
We need to give them to the Lord!
God doesn’t want us to waste(uDaaunu) what could be given to him!
I will disobey in one area
Because it will be good in another area
It will be helpful in another area
NO!
When we put logic(tarka) above faith and obedience, we lie to ourselves:
We say: “I thought of something that God didn’t think of!”
I have a better idea
I see something that God didn’t see.
Example:
God will understand my disobedience because
Obedience is so difficult
Obedience is so wasteful(khera hunchha)
Obedience won’t bear as much fruit
Obedience doesn’t provide as much opportunity
Success(saphaltaa) in God’s eyes is no determined by our ease/rest
Success in God’s eyes is not determined by our money our how much we saved(bachaaunu)
Didn’t spend
Success in God’s eyes is not determined by how many people come to church or numbers of conversions
Success in God’s eyes is according to our obedience!
There is no better plan than God’s plan
God’s plan always starts with faith and obedience!
Faith that His way is better than our way
Obedience is the evidence of that faith!
The Devil rarely tempts with an obvious choice
Good vs. Evil!
Most often it is something that looks good vs. something difficult, but right
I want to have opportunity to share the gospel
I won‘t say anything difficult from the Bible
(naitik patan hunu) them.
I will be quiet
“It’s never right to do wrong in order to have an opportunity to do right.”
If your plan requires lies
disobedience
breaking any of God’s law
It’s a bad plan - just obey
Don’t use a practical sounding excuse(byabahaari-justai sunieko bahaana)
Just obey
#3 Blamed Others
“They” did it
Other’s forced me
I had no choice
My boss made me
You will carry the consequences(prabhaav-haru) of your own actions.
Here Saul was the leader(neta)
He should have obeyed
He should have killed all
You can always do right:
It may be difficult
There may be consequences(prabhaav)
You may receive persecution(utpiDit)
Doing sin(paap) is never someone else’s fault(dosh)!
2
This excuse cannot be used before God!
Do not blame others
Just obey
