1 | Why punish the man of God? | 1 Kings | Joel | 3482 | ||
Read chapter 13 of Kings. Why was the man of God kill. He did disobey God's command, but the prophet told him he had heard from God, and it was ok for him (the man of God) to eat. Was it unfair for the man of God to be killed by a lion for being tricked into believing it was God's will for him to eat and thus eating? And why wasn't the 'prophet' punished for lying. | ||||||
2 | Why punish the man of God? | 1 Kings | melchizedekau | 3488 | ||
the question is not why, but how can we learn from this incident and apply it to our own lives. In verse nine he says with his own lips what the Lord had commanded him not to do!when the Lord tells you some thing you must do it with all your might and to the letter.He wasnt tricked by the old prophet. He was intimidated by him.Intimidation is a spirit and is fear.We have not been given a spirit of fear, but of power love and a sound mind,2 Tim 1:7. Have you ever been intimidated by a person that has a position of authority?did you notice that when the old prophet gave the word at the table the young prophet finished his meal as he knew it was his last.disobedience brings punishment.He never repented, do you notice.He was man enough to accept the will of God,and took the responsibility.just as Paul went into jerusalem and was to be bound, Acts 21;11-14.YIC. | ||||||
