TOPIC: PARTNERING WITH GOD’S ENEMY IS SUICIDAL

MEMORIZE:  “But Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, "Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works." Then the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.” 2 Chronicles 20:37.

SCRIPTURE READING: 1 Kings 22:4, 28-34

EXPOSITION:

God has promised to bless His children and the work of their hands – Deut. 28: . But we  would only experience these blessings when we  obey God and walk in His way. Our obedience is the key to access God’s treasury.

King Jehoshaphat was a child of God, a man who feared God and love Him. While others were growing alliance with their enemies, he always sets himself to seek God whenever enemies rose us against him. 2 Chronicles 20:3 reads “And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.”

But he made a costly mistakes twice in his life and each of it almost costs him his life. He made alliance with enemies of God – first he joined Ahab in battle against the king of Syria – “And the king of Israel said to his servants, "Do you know that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, but we hesitate to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?" So he said to Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to fight at Ramoth Gilead?" Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."” 1 Kings 22:3-4, 29-34. He was lured into wearing his royal apparel as the king. It was divine timely intervention that safe him from death – v. 32. Secondly, he joined business together with Ahaziah, the son of Ahab. They bought the ship together to be going to Tarshish. God saw him as helping his enemy - 2Chronicles 19:2, He therefore caused it to break and unable to reach its destination. 

True prosperity comes from God with peace of mind and longevity of days. And it is meant for His children. Partnering with enemy is suicidal. It can attract lose and wasting. What is the impact of your business associates upon your life and destiny. Are your business partners on the Lord’s side or the enemies of God? If they don’t have regard for God, they will never regard you. If they can cheat on God on tithes and vows, they will surely cheat you on your benefits. Be careful! Don’t journey with Jonah!!!

PRAYER POINT:

Lord, separate me from every partner that is capable of destroying my destiny in Jesus name.
