Life Lesson (2 Samuel 20:)

Pray for other people including the people in your area and your church.

"Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner and Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed. And he shed the blood of war in peacetime, and put the blood of war on his belt that was around his waist, and on his sandals that were on his feet.

33 When they heard this, they were furious and plotted to kill them.34 Then one in the council stood up, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in respect by all the people, and commanded them to put the apostles outside for a little while.35 And he said to them: "Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do regarding these men.36 For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody. A number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was slain, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing.37 After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census, and drew away many people after him. He also perished, and all who obeyed him were dispersed.38 And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing;39 but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it -- lest you even be found to fight against God."

10 "When you go near a city to fight against it, then proclaim an offer of peace to it.11 And it shall be that if they accept your offer of peace, and open to you, then all the people who are found in it shall be placed under tribute to you, and serve you.12 Now if the city will not make peace with you, but war against you, then you shall besiege it.

"Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
