1 Kings 14

Good Morning “Reapers of What We Sow.”  Today we are in 1 Kings 14.

Yesterday we talked a bit about Jeroboam and his cult leadership.  He mocked The Worship system of The One True God.  He led the nation of Israel in all kinds of debauched worship of false gods (demons), even pieces of metal (golden calves) and instituted priests that were no priests at all.  

Yesterday I made the statement, “God doesn’t play!”  In fact He doesn’t!  He doesn’t find the flesh driven movements of His creation endearing, humorous, brave or honorable.  As a Holy God, He will exact justice, in this life or the next - of THAT we can be sure.  

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”
Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Paris Olympics 2024 - In light of the Opening Ceremonies,  and the disgusting display of mockery performed on the world stage - it’s interesting that we find ourselves where we do in our study.  

Jeroboam lacked fear of The Lord also!  He wanted nothing to do with God… until he did.  When his son became sick, he sent his wife to the Prophet of God to find out what would happen to him.  He didn’t get the report he wanted.  Instead he found out what happens when you anger The Only Holy God.  One day, so will the International Olympic Committee, The Hosts in Paris, and anyone else linked to this display.  “It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭31‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Our flesh may want one thing, The Holy Spirit another - we must fight our flesh!  “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh…”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Sow to please God.  He is Perfect Love.  He is also Holy.  His Holiness demands perfect justice.

Love you all!  Dig in!
