When God gives us directions we must follow them. The man of God did not seek counsel from the Lord when the father of king Jeroboam found and deceived him. When king Jeroboam hand dried up at the alter, that should have been enough convincing that Lord God is awesome. There are consequences when we disobey God. The man of God ended up face down before the lion for all to see. If the game changes the Lord will direct you, wait on the Lord. He is able. "Stand with Jesus to never fall for anything "
I found this passage questionable. The punishment suppose to be given to the old prophet that lied to this young prophet. The bible recons that the man that took him home was an old prophet. Even God prophesied through him that the young prophet will die, it came to pass. So if God is really using the old prophet, I see no reason the young prophet should not believe him. I found this passage contradicting.
Supernatural happenings do not override the Word of God 2 Cor 11v14 says Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light The Man of God should have stuck to his conviction and not be swayed by a subordinate claim Good men still toss the Word of God to one side to chase the spectacular but without checking who or what is behind the light Always be like the Bereans and search the scriptures daily as to whether these things are so
GOD IS THE AUTHOR OF ANY RITIES, THAT ITS AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH , HE IS THE AUTHORITY ITSELF, AND HE DISSEMINATE AUTHORITIES TO WHO CARE TO HAVE DOMINION OVER ALL WHAT HE HAD CREATED BY SAME POWER OF ANIMATION POWER, PRIEST,SMALL OR OLD PROPHETS, APOSTLE, DISCIPLES, EVANGELIST,OR WHO MAY BE, FOR ME I ALWAYS USE HOLY SPIRIT TO CHECK THEIR COUNSELLING IN THE NAME OF GOD, CAUSE MANY SO CALLED MAN OF GOD ARE IMPERSONATOR, BEWARE, DO NOT DERAIL FROM THE WORD OF GOD. Shallom.
the young prophet resembles al the weak christians that easly exchange their birth right in plight of these so called man of God .who are but a morden moneymongers who entice the innocnt people in making them believe the cooked lies the brew in religious colleges
I lvoe the comments on this page. This is a lesson for all Christians today. Lean not to your own understand and trust THE WORD of GOD. Christmas, Easter, good Friday, and the rest of these modern Christian holidays (Holy Days) are not biblical. Study and obey the words, commandments, and feasts of GOD (biblical). Stay on the straight and narrow path.
I READ AND 1 FOUND IT SO COMPREHENSIBLE THAT THE MESSAGE IS SIMPLY POINTING AT THE SAME MESSAGE TITTLED 'THE FALL OF MAN/ADAM & EVE'IN FACT,THE MESSAGE IS EDUCATING EVERY CHRISTAINS TODAY TO ON DISOBIDENT TO GOD.IT IS A VERY BIG SIN BEFORE GOD.
GOD'S WORD THE BIBLE. IF WE ARE DIVINELY SPOKEN TO FROM GOD, ITS A TRUE BLESSING. AND WE MUST OBEY WHATEVER IS SPOKEN TO US TO THE VERY LETTER. TODAY, WE HAVE GOD'S WORD, IT WE MUST OBEY TO THE LETTER. AS IN JEROBOAM, TIMES, WE HAVE PRIEST, AND MEN OF GOD, OF THE LOWEST OF PEOPLE, YET, THEY MINISTER, THEREFORE, WE AS A PEOPLE, NEED TO GO TO THE SOURCE, "THE BIBLE", AND STUDY TO SHOW THYSELF APPROVED, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH", NOT DEPENDING ON THE LEGS OF MAN. FOR WITH MAN THERE IS ERROR, WITH GOD IS PERFECTION.
God wants us to be obedient to His word. Sometimes people will lead you astray. Even preachers and teachers that we love and trust.Even though they might mean well their advice might be off course to what God wants out of us. Keep in contact with the God of heaven each day and He'll show you the way.
