False Prophets

Today, we are going to finish up the first book of Kings. We finally get to see Ahab’s prophecy of his life ending come to fruition. Ahab could have repented at anytime and turned to the Lord. He was given many chances. But Ahab surrounded himself with false prophets willing to tell the king whatever he wanted to hear. A true prophet would have been willing to tell the king the difficult truth and warn him again of what the Lord said. Finally, Ahab was turned over to the destroyer for judgement. Our choices can have generational impact. If King Solomon had done what God wanted in the beginning, Israel wouldn’t have been split into two kingdoms, and many lives may have been saved. Don’t buy the lie that what you do only impacts yourself. Your choices will affect your children and on down. Put this lesson to practical use today, and be obedient to God and what He has called you to do.
