Topic: GETTING RESULTS BY ALL MEANS PART 1
Biblical Text: ‘ And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.’ [1 Kings 21:7]
King Ahab loved the vineyard beside his palace. It was a garden of herbs. He wanted it and asked the owner Naboth to either sell it to him or allow him to give him a better vineyard elsewhere. Naboth refused to accept any of the conditions insisting it was not right for him to sell the inheritance of his fathers. King Ahab was displeased and unhappy. He refused to eat when he got home. He told his wife, Jezebel the cause of his unhappiness. She promised to get the vineyard for him. Jezebel went ahead to frame Naboth for an offence he did not commit- Blasphemy against God and the king, an offense punishable by death. Naboth was subsequently sentenced to death by stoning. Jezebel on hearing about the death of Naboth told King Ahab to go and take possession of the vineyard. He got what he wanted by all means. God was displeased with the wickedness perpetrated by Ahab and family. He sent prophet Elijah to tell them that they will all die a shameful death without a befitting burial. When we do not mind committing sin to get results by all means, it will attract punishment from God. When you pass your examinations through crooked means, expect a reward from God for it in form of punishment. To turn to a ritualist because you want to have money to help people will only attract Gods severe punishment. Desist from getting result by all means, it always attracts God’s anger and punishment.
KNOW IT ∞ Getting results by all means will only attract God’s divine wrath and punishment.
READ IT ∞ 1 Kings 21:7-15, Jeremiah 17:11
PRAY IT ∞ Father, give me the grace to be conscious of getting result only in a godly way.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ Daniel 4-6
