• The state of your heart is determined by the principles that you are loyal to.
• If the principles you are loyal to are wrong, you will be a wrong person altogether.
• Life is spiritual and it is controlled from the spirit realm. It operates / functions on divine principles and ordinances, and it is regulated by the word of God and the actions of men.

• Don’t view the priest as am ordinary person.
• Saul disregarded God’s principles (1 Sam 13:8-13, 15:1-35).
• God cannot prosper you if you are disloyal to things God is loyal to. This makes some christians to keep going around is circles and it look like God’s word doesn’t work because their lifestyle is against God’s principles.
