3 people you should not fight
- Do not fight you father and leader:
Your father or leader sees ahead of you. There are things they see that their offspring does not see. Father and leader starts the blows of the enemy to get to us. You might not really realise their important until they are off the way. Developing the thought to fight either of them, is never a right thought. Such debauched thought can lead to disaster.
Do not fight them because you will kill your future. Fighting them is forfeiting one’s promised land. Your leader as long as he is genuine has what it takes to take you to your promised land. Your leader has the blue print to your promised land. Fighting your father and leader can result to untimely death.
1 – “And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.
2 – And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also.
3 – But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succour us out of the city.
4 – And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands.
5 – And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.
6 – So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim;
7 – Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men.
8 – For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
9 – And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away.
10 – And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.
11 – And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle.” (2Samuel chapter 18 verses 1 to 11)
- Do not fight your son:
You don’t fight your son because they are your future. You might not have descendant fighting your son. Your son is there to help out in time of difficulties. When you fight your son, he turns his back against.
1 – “Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in Jezreel.
2 – And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rereward with Achish.
3 – Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day?
4 – And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary to us: for wherewith should he reconcile himself unto his master? should it not be with the heads of these men?
5 – Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
6 – Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour thee not.” (1Samuel chapter 29 verses 1 to 6)
1 -” Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.

3 – And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
4 – Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.” (1Samuel chapter 13 verses 1 to 4)
His son David who is the giant, who would have defended king Saul was no where to be found the way he needed David most in his life because he was after David’s life.
- Do not fight your brethren:
You don’t fight your family.
“As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” (Galatians chapter 6 verses 10)
“God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.” (Psalms chapter 68 verses 6)

There are people you should not fight.
