THE PARASITE OF UNFORGIVENESS… INFECTED (At least 2 part)

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com

THE COWBIRD: COWBIRDS ARE KNOWN AS BULLIES… THE BROOD PARASITES…

The cowbird lays very large eggs... but the cowbird never builds its own nest. The cowbird lays its eggs in a VIREO BIRDS NEST…the Vireo birds nest are small and their eggs are small. THE COWBIRDS’ EGGS HATCH FIRST and place a huge demand on more and more food. SO THE TINY VIREO birds BABIES STARVE TO DEATH WHILE THE COWBIRDS EAT ALL THE FOOD… the little song birds are endangered where cowbirds live. The small birds raise the cowbirds young at their own expense. A parasite cannot coexist without a compliant host.

PARASITE: a creature that lives off another creature, an organism that lives in or on another organism. Something that takes and never gives back. The parasite then benefits by deriving nutrients at the host’s expense. The parasite will cause harm. Parasites work to INFLECT THE HOST. This can be small protozoa, worms, malaria, tapeworm, ring worm, leech, tick, etc. Many parasites are MICROSCOPIC AND HARD TO FIND UNTIL THE DAMAGE IS DONE.

Proverbs 30:15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:

Proverbs 30:15 (MSG) A leech has twin daughters named "Gimme" and "Gimme more." Three things are never satisfied, no, there are four that never say, "That's enough, thank you!"—

MANY PARASITES ARE BLOOD SUCKERS… LEECHES, TICKS, MOSQUITOES. BLOOD SUCKERS ARE LIFE THIEVES.

WHO WOULD DARE TO SPIT ON GOD’S ANOINTED? CHANGED? NO CHANGE… LET US MEET A MAN THAT WAS A SPIRITUAL PARASITE… HIS NAME WAS SHIMEI…

Shimei was a Benjamite. He was related to SAUL. When SAU , JONATHAN AND SAUL’S SONS WERE ALL KILLED ON THE SAME DAY. Shimei blamed David for King’s Saul’s death. ShImei was angry and bitter. Shimei was jealous and had plans to be THE NEXT KING. AS A MATTER OF FACT SHIMEI IS GOING TO MARRY A WOMAN TO STRENGTHEN HIS CLAIM TO THE THRONE…

Along comes David’s rebellious son ABSALOM to claim David’s throne. THIS IS SHIMEI’S CHANCE TO GET RID OF DAVID… DAVID FLEES FOR HIS LIFE… While crossing the river to flee for safety there comes this man with distorted selfish views…

2 Samuel 16:5 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came. 6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. 7 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial: 8 The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.

DAVID’S MEN WANTED TO KILL THE PARASITE THAT SPIT AND THREW ROCKS AT DAVID…

SHIMEI WILL DIE … HE IS A PARASITE TO DAVID AND ISRAEL. SHIMEI HAD A BAD MOUTH AND BAD ATTITUDES… THE PARASITE OF BAD ATTITUDES AND A BIG MOUTH WILL CATCH UP TO HIM.

THE DEAL WAS VERY CLEAR PARASITE SHIMEI STAY IN THE CITY OF JERUSALEM AND YOU SHALL LIVE,,, STAY AT HOME BOY.

2 Samuel 16:9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.

DAVID KNEW ANGER AND BITTERNESS WOULD NEVER DEFEAT A PARASITE… MAYBE GOD WILL HELP US…

2 Samuel 16:12 It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.

DAVID IS DYING AND HE CALLS SOLOMON TO HIS DEATH BED… THERE WILL BE A THREAT TO SOLOMON’S REIGN…

REMEMBER THAT LEECH, THAT PARASITE TO THE THRONE… WARN THE PARASITE.

1 Kings 2:8 And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.

DAVID WARNED SOLOMON… THE LEECH PARASITE WILL CLEARLY REVEAL HIMSELF AS A THREAT…

1 Kings 2:36 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither. 37 For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head. 38 And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
