DON’T BLAME GOD – Pastor Isaac Olutimehin
TEXT:
1 Samuel 8:18 KJV.
“And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the Lord will not hear you in that day”.
MESSAGE:
☆☆☆ The elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel in Ramah, with their request ????
“And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations” – 1 Samuel 8:5.
☆☆☆ The sons of Samuel were ruling over Israel at that time.
☆☆☆ The argument of the elders of Israel was that the children of Samuel didn’t follow after the foot steps of their father.
☆☆☆ They therefore requested for a new king. This grieved the heart of Samuel that the people requested for a king.
“But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the Lord” – 1 Samuel 8:6.
☆☆☆ God however spoke to Samuel ????
“And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them” – 1 Samuel 8:7.
☆☆☆ One might be wondering why God had to respond the way he did. The fact is that the way of God remains unsearchable.
☆☆☆ The choice of man will always be at variance with the choice of God. God therefore resolved to give the people a king after their own heart.
☆☆☆ God had however warned them that they would soon discover later that their choice was wrong.
☆☆☆ That they would then cry to God for help “and the Lord will not hear them in that day”.
☆☆☆ Beloved, the bible says ????
“Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass” – Psalm 37:5.
☆☆☆ Commit your marriage into the hand of God and he will make it a perfect one.
☆☆☆ Commit that wayward child into the hand of God and God will turn him around for good and make him a star.
☆☆☆ Handover your business or your job into the hand of God and you will experience a great turn around for good.
☆☆☆ Are you trusting God for a life partner, go back to God for direction.
☆☆☆ Before you go into that marriage, ask God for confirmation and he will surely lead you.
☆☆☆ Beloved, if you reject the choice of God for your life, don’t ever blame God when trouble comes.
☆☆☆ Jacob wanted Rachel by all means, because she was so beautiful. Read Genesis 29:17. Believe it or not beloved; Leah was the choice of God for Jacob but he chose Rachel.
☆☆☆ You all know the troubles Jacob faced before he eventually got married to Rachel and how she later died. Read Genesis 29:16-30; 35:19-20.
☆☆☆ Before you enter into a business partnership with that brother or that sister, first confirm from God.
☆☆☆ The choice of God or his plan may not agree with yours but trust him all the same.
☆☆☆ For the bible says:
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end” – Jeremiah 29:11.
☆☆☆ The thoughts of man will never agree with the “thoughts” of God. Most times, the “thoughts” of God may even look unreasonable but will always the best for man.
☆☆☆ The elders of Israel eventually got their desired king, Saul. You and I know the rest of the story.
☆☆☆ You may begin to wonder why God had to approve Saul as king in the first place. Remember that God had said ????
“And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding” – Jeremiah 3:15.
☆☆☆ Since the people didn’t want a king after the heart of God, God had therefore given them a king after their own heart.
☆☆☆ When a man rejects the choice of God for his life, God will give him that which he desires for himself.
☆☆☆ When trouble comes however, God will step aside.
☆☆☆ To all marriageable youth out there, let God make your choice for you in marriage.
☆☆☆ Remember, same God said ????
“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him” – Genesis 2:18.
