God’s Weapon in the Hands of God
2 Samuel 23:9-10
A Faith Baptist Bible Study
This is the story of Eleazar, one of King David’s “mighty men”. He is particularly remembered for his heroic deeds in a battle with the Philistines. One of the many lessons we learn from him is that the enemy will often take us back to old battlegrounds; places where he’s held us up in the past.
1. The Sufficiency of Eleazar’s Weapon
A weapon he had confidence in
A weapon he was familiar with
What is the weapon God has placed in your hand?
2. The Stubbornness of Eleazar’s Grip
The situation seemed helpless
All human resources were gone
Clave:
Persuing – to cling unto
Welding – the sword was welded to Eleazar’s hand
Eleazar and His sword became one instrument!
3. The Secret of Eleazar’s Victory
Eleazar means God is my helper
The victory is mine, when the battle is the Lord’s!
