TOPIC : ITS TIME FOR A NEW BEGINNING
THE CONSEQUENCES OF REBELLION.
TEXT : 1 SAMUEL 15:17-23
17 And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?
18 And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
19 Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?
22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
Rebellion is a sin that is committed as a result of our pride.
God sent Saul on a mission with an instruction to utterly destroy the city.
He lost his exulted throne because he wanted to please the people rather than please God.
Every ecclesiastical assignment is divine assignment and we are answerable only to God and not man.
God Himself will examine how you executed the job that God delegated to you.
The danger of becoming a minister is that God no longer sees you as a baby.
Now you are responsible as a partner for your actions.
Moses was a man so highly loved by God. He had seen God's glory and was not expected to rebel against God.
When he did, God ended his ministry and did not even permit him to set his foot on the promised land.
This year, we must pursue our callings with fear and trembling.
God will prove Himself in our lives in Jesus mighty name.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
