We greet your holy name, this morning Lord,
We bow to you, be exalted Yaweh.
We want to talk about a subject that many of us face.
Many are we who think that we should not bother God with certain things, we think that the whole thing is to have his means and his capacities to be able to come out of it.
God deals with all subjects, he has the answers to all questions, we have found it important to urge us to entrust ourselves to God before committing anything even with all the certainty that we can have from a natural point of view .
The king of Israel wants to take Ramoth-Gilead back from the hands of the king of Syria, so he invites Jehoshaphat, king of Judah to join him in attacking.
The king of Judah has no objection but for him it is an important mission and they are the children of God, they are under the cover of God, they cannot go there without knowing what God thinks , without the approval of their protector and Jehoshaphat offers his friend to consult God.
Two kings supposed to serve God and be Christians but two different conceptions of Christian life.
The other says to himself that he is under grace and the victory is certain and the other says to himself it is always better to have divine authorization before any action.
Can we imagine how we operate?
The King of Israel is a child of God who lives in a thought system, he is very influenced by the world and does not depend on the Lord.
Jehoshaphat agrees to accompany his brother to war only if God validates.
The king of Israel thus gathers all the prophets to know if he attacks or if he gives up the fight.
Obviously, it is the king, we cannot hurt him, we are there to have the favors of the king and all these men of God confirm their victory.
The king of Judah is not convinced of this, his mind is uneasy and he asks for yet another consultation.
This is how Micah, whom the king of Israel does not like, enters the scene and reveals the opposite of what his predecessors said, he reveals to them that all the other prophets have spirits of seduction and the Lord has animated them to a spirit of lies.
This revelation was not digested by the king who put Micah in prison.
The Lord speaks and it is not always what we want to hear but he always warns us, he informs us of things that hurt us and disappoint us but if we hold on to the good side and obey, we will be restored and delivered.
Micah never says anything good but why are you disguising yourself, King of Israel?
What are you afraid of?
Deep down, you know Micah is the anointed mouth of God.
And it is in the same direction that David will consult God.
Saul is after him, it’s a real manhunt and David absolutely must know how to behave in the face of such anger.
1 Samuel, 23:11 – Will the inhabitants of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Shall Saul come down, as your servant has heard? O Lord God of Israel, deign to reveal it to Your servant! And the LORD said, He will come down.
Bless the Lord for he has answers to difficult questions.
David used to consult God on all important things in his life or in his kingdom.
David heard of the evil plan that Saul was planning, He fled with his people, they came out of Keilah and left, Saul stopped his walk.
Beloved, the Lord is faithful, let us just be attentive to the instructions he gives us and obey.
Hello group
Good day
