Topic: DO NOT PATTERN YOUR LIFE AFTER THEM PART 1
Biblical Text: ‘ And they left the house of the Lord God of their fathers and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for their trespass ‘. [2 Chronicles 24:18]
Joash was seven years old when he began to reign and did that which was right in the sight of the Lord , all the days of Jehoiada, the priest. When it was time for him to marry, the priest guided him in his choice. Joash did not like how the house of the Lord was looking. He wanted to repair it; he consulted all relevant stakeholders. Finally, they finished repairing the house of the Lord. Joash loved the things of God. But when Jehoiada the priest died, he left the Lord God of his fathers and began to serve idols. The Lord sent prophets to warn Joash and the people, but they refused. When Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest spoke the Word of the Lord to Joash and the people, they rejected it and stoned him to death. By this action, Joash, forgot all the good things that Jehoiada had done for him, part of which included preserving his life at a tender age. Joash was eventually killed by his own servants. Beloved, it is not enough to begin with God, our ending with God is most important. Also, when we love God genuinely, it will be difficult to value sin more than God. To refuse to heed Gods correction leads to destruction.
