Read; 2 Samuel 24:18-25. I'VE GOT TO DO BETTER! 2 Samuel 24:18; And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the Lord in the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. v21; And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing floor of thee, to build an altar unto the Lord, that the plague may be stayed from the people.(We have to realize to stop the plague in our lives. We have to buy into.) Philippians 3:10; That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death. 2 Samuel 24:24; And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. (We have to stop trying to give the Lord, just anything). Matthew 16:26; For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? "I'VE GOT TO DO BETTER"! Apostle
