I Have Value - The Value of Loyalty
The Background
Crazy story
Absalom’s was King David’s son.
Absalom was at a disconnect with his Father over a Family matter.
2 Samuel 14:
Absalom was a Son of the King but wanted the Kingdom before it was his time!
He had the wrong motives and became manipulative!
Point #1 Watch People’s Motives
2 Samuel 14
Watch people who talks about what they would do if they were the leader.
Some people will tear down people and systems to move their agenda forward.
Point #2 Affection or Manipulation
The Shift
2 Samuel 15
“So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Isreal”
Think about this!
This is for all in leadership.
Crazy things is the opposition is coming from David’s family.
For four years Absalom was undermining his Father.
Absalom begin to build and army and developing his team of people to overthrow his father.
2 Samuel 15:
David began to regroup and create a strategy
As the people was going out that was following David, there was one who stood out to David.

Life will cause you to be harsh and create walls!
When you have been hurt in life, you view everyone with a different filter.
A powerful statement - Go back and stay with the King.
He was looking at his race and his location!
Don’t tell me we haven’t been there before…
“Why do you also go with us?”
Leadership in every area of life can cause you to ask this question about everyone you meet and work with!
Point #4 My Wall Doesn’t Mean I Don’t Like You!
“You came only Yesterday”
Hey you seem like a good person but I just don’t have to be hurt again.
I’m trying to figure things out for myself
May the Lord bless and God be with you.
My wall doesn’t mean I don’t like you but I just don’t trust people.
Point #5 Loyalty Is What We All Need
Look at his response:
“As the Lord Lives” - First my commitment is to God.
My loyalty is to God.
“As my lord the king lives” - Being loyal to someone has to be in the correct context.
Capital L vs Lower case L
A person is not our God but I believe in what God has put into that person and the value that they bring.
Wherever my Lord the King shall be:
Whether for death or for life, there also will your servant be.
Remember this sometimes you will be a David and Sometimes you will be an Ittai
We have to learn how to let people in (Spirit of Discernment)
We have to learn how to have loyalty as Value that we bring to everyone we meet.
We all need an Ittai in our Life!
Who’s Ittai are you?
