They said to him, “You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have.” But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so, he prayed to the Lord. And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. As they have done from the day, I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. Now listen to them, but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights”. 1 Samuel 8:5-9, NIV.
We must learn to do things according to the will of God and not according to our human desire. Whenever we alter the perfect will of God things are never expected to run smoothly anymore. Try the best you can not play any form of politics with the order God has put in place to protect and guide you. When a church or a family decides to alter or manipulate the original order of God put in place for their good, they pollute and destroy themselves. Never rob one child to secure another! Don’t run God’s affairs as a family business!
PRAYER!
Father God, in the mighty name of Your Son, my LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, help me to always obey the choice You have made for me as it is always the best in Jesus’ mighty name, amen.
Jesus loves you!
