A WARNING FOR PROPHETS WHO FAIL TO SPEAK GOD’S WORDS
In 1st Kings 13, a young prophet receives clear instructions from the Lord,but shortly afterwards, an older prophet wants to test the young man’s faithfulness to the Lord.
He tells him that the Lord has also spoken to him,and gives him a different instruction,the opposite of the instruction the prophet had received from the Lord.
The young man then ignores what God had told him and instead follows the old man’s instructions.
The Lord punished the young Prophet and he was killed by a lion because he had ignored what God told him and listened to someone else just because they claimed they had heard from the Lord.
This is a stern warning,if you are a prophet you must speak everything the Lord tells you to say no matter what the opposition may be.
People may come to give you different instructions saying,”don’t speak what God told you,say this instead.”
The consequence of listening to people instead of the Lord is grave.
You must be faithful to the Lord.
If God has given you a message you have no choice but to say it,be faithful to Jesus.
