Memorize : And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel” 2 Kings 10:30
Devotional Reading: 2 Kings 10:18-30
All over the world the greatest problem of mankind is sin which was the cause of the fall of man. Many people categorised sin into little sin, medium sin, white sin, black sin, etc, they do this in an attempt to trivialise their wrong doing and make themselves to feel cool with it, this is only man’s concept; it is not so with God, in the eyes of God, “Sin is Sin”
Jehu fulfilled the prophecy of Elijah but the fact that he deliberately did not do away with idol worship in the land was an indication that he was pursuing a personal agenda to secure his reign. He did not continue with total obedience to the law of God. He continued in the sins of Jeroboam in that he left the golden calves at Bethel and Dan, This kept Israel divided because the twelve tribes were now thinking in terms of two nations, not one. For this, God allowed the nations around them to subject them to their control. Ordinarily, it would be said that a man who carried out such a cleansing exercise as soon as he came to power would be true to his mission of returning Israel to the worship of the true God; but no, he began to elevate the worship of other graven images.
Finally, he died in the sin as a king that continued with the sin of Jeroboam. This passage aptly rendered baseless, the doctrine of eternal security, that once someone is saved, such remains saved eternally. Please don’t be deceived God desist sin and He doesn’t take it lightly with whoever refuse to repent. Sin is sin with God. There had been unfortunate cases where those who had stood against stealing, fornication, adultery and all forms of sins in the past suddenly became perpetrators of such sins. Most times, there is no second chance as the devil makes sure that such individuals never return to their righteous status. Be careful, Sin is a deformity, a monstrosity, sin is repulsive, it is a destiny destroyer, repellent to the infinitely pure God, it is a sharp contrast to the beauty of Holiness.
Saints, let us take heed and “hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end”.
Proverbs 14:34: Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
I pray for you today, that you will not suffer reproach as a result of sin in Jesus name.
Prayer point: O LORD my God, deliver me from the reproach of sin in Jesus name
Key Dose: The wages of sin is death, say NO to sin.
