The Ministry Of Visitation. 3

“O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with luxury; who put ornaments of gold on your apparel.

2Samuel 1:24. NKJV.”

David has something good to say about King Saul at his death, as in the opening scriptures. His reign brought prosperity to Israel, he mentioned it and not his bad sides! You never know where people may connect, saying wrong things about them shows you wish they never change after leaving! It also shows you have a flawed character.
*It is akin to sin to ask people suggestive questions that does not build up, but rather tear down.* For example, you used to be friends with the Jones family before, what happens that you’re no longer close as before? Why did you leave the Choir? Why are you not coming to Church again? Is it because of your disagreement with the Pastor? You are permitted to ask questions if you have the capacity to bring about reconciliation!
Besides, there is no law that forbids changing of friends when it is not sinful or the reason for doing so is flawed! Though David would have wished Jonathan should stay with him, when he died unceremoniously, he said lamented over him;  _*“Saul and Jonathan were beloved and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided; they were swifter than eagles, They were stronger than lions. 2Samuel 1:23.”*_
Let Jesus’ family understand this; _*it is never an evil thing if someone relocated to another living Church!*_ Do you call it evil when people change their job, organization or location or State? It has nothing to do with others, those who change jobs are looking for a better working condition! Those who changes Church may probably be looking for different things or may value different things!
Nevertheless, when people leaves when they should not, their lives may not be upwardly looking great, _*the best you can do is to pray for them!*_ It has happened that people leaves an Assembly for a while and later comes back, but you will send them packing if you have said something bad or judge them unfairly.
