Ben Hadad

After our brief intermission with Elijah and Elisha, we’re returning to the kings. We are going to look at Ben Hadad. He was an evil king who came against King Ahab of Israel. Notice that even though Israel was rebellious, they were still a nation that belonged to God and therefore, under His protection. Israel was severely outnumbered against Ben Hadad of Syria and in the natural, would have been completely wiped out. Through the prophet God gave King Ahab the strategy and plan to defeat Syria. Sometimes we may find ourselves in situations where we need a quick plan and even supernatural deliverance. We also may be warned of something that’s coming beforehand and given the plans to prepare. Both ways are supernatural. Ben Hadad launched a holy war against the God of Israel and he was hostile to God and His government on earth. He paid the consequences. While we as Christians are no longer under the wrath of God, those that are opposing Him and His people never know how much time they may have left to repent. Pray for our leaders today and enjoy this timely lesson.
