Topic: OTHER OPTIONS
Biblical Text: “ And when Saul enquired of the Lord, the Lord answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. Then said Saul unto his servants, seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor .’ [1 Samuel 28:6-7]
I heard about the pathetic true-life story of a lady who waited on the Lord for seven years for the fruit of the womb; after seven years, she grew tired of waiting on the Lord and sought other options. Shortly after, she got pregnant. She called the overseer of the Church she was attending before to tell him that she is pregnant. She did it sarcastically to mock the man of God. Fast forward, she gave birth to a baby boy. When the boy was about five years, he woke up the mother one night and demanded for sex. The mother was shocked! The boy told the mother, You know where you got me from, this should not surprise you. There are dangers of considering other options aside God. The Philistines gathered their armies to battle with the Israelites. Saul who had formerly driven out all that had familiar spirits and wizards from the land now went to consult a familiar spirit (other option) when the Lord did not answer him concerning the battle before him. Saul and his sons were killed in that war. Like Saul, some people consider other options because they are living in sin and they know God has turned His back on them. Others consider other options because they felt God is too slow in granting them what they asked for. Taking other options aside God will ultimately bring disappointment and loss. Let God be your first and last option. If sin lieth at your door, repent and let God be your only option. You will not be disappointed or suffer loss in Jesus Name.
KNOW IT ∞ Let God be your only option.
READ IT ∞ Jeremiah 44:16-19, 1 Samuel 28:1-9, Ecclesiastes 7:8
PRAY IT ∞ Father, give me the grace never to consider any other option apart from You.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ Daniel 1-3
