1 Kin 13:6 And the king said
to the man of God, Entreat now the favor of the Lord your God and pray for me,
that my hand may be restored to me. And the man of God entreated the Lord, and
the king's hand was restored and became as it was before.
1 Kin 13:7 And the king said
to the man of God, Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a
reward.
1 Kin 13:8 And the man of God
said to the king, If you give me half your house, I will not go in with you, and
I will not eat bread or drink water in this place.
1 Kin 13:9 For I was
commanded by the word of the Lord, You shall eat no bread or drink water or
return by the way you came.
1 Kin 13:10 So he went
another way and did not return by the way that he came to
Bethel.
Jeroboam's hand withered, which he stretched out to
seize or smite the man of God... To the TRUE MESSENGER of God...Yes man will try
to touch you but God's power will show up...It is not about you but all about
God and His anointing...He refuse to have His child in the midst of His
worship (rendering service unto Him) being touch and the crime go
unpunished...Do not rejoice in anyone's judgment....Always seek God what to do
next for His glory not yours....
Instead of trembling at the message, as he might
well have done, he assaulted him that brought it....Instead of hearing the Word
and allowing the Word to accomplish what it was sent to do Jeroboam did what
most decide to do...Attack the messenger.....Instead of embracing the grace of
God he acted out in wrath and tried to touch God's anointed....Touch not God's
anointed....Look at this True messenger of God....As long as Jeroboam was
stretching out to do idol worship to burn the incense, his hand was fine....It
is when he dare to stretch out to touch God's messenger his hand
withered.....
Many are provoking God by the boldness to touch His
anointed ones....provoking God to release spiritual judgment one that will only
be lifted by humbleness of repentance.....Where is the fear of God?.....Where
have the respect of God's anointed ones went to?.....Because of the false
worship many have lost discernment and now they attack anyone.....They do not
know God's voice any more.....They see just another person and do not see that
God have taken and hidden the messenger with in Him self...Touch them, you touch
God.......Now that the True messengers are arising we have to change the way we
use to approach a messenger...Beware of approaching them with wrath and
contempt...God will not be please....
Okay now that all of this happen and the messenger
did not curse him but prayed for Him yet showing more grace towards him....The
king now wanted to honor the man of God...Due to his instruction from God the
messenger turned down such honor...God forbade his messenger to eat or drink in
Beth-el.....We see how easy it was for the prophet to keep his instruction
here...He knew that this man had no connection with God and it took no
discernment to keep on the mission that was sent out by God.....
1 Kin 13:11 Now there dwelt
an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all that the man of God
had done that day in Bethel; the words which he had spoken to the king they told
also to their father.
Now here comes a trick in the mix....We see that a
person that is call prophet is coming....Not only a prophet but that is in
age..meaning he should have wisdom and should be seasoned....
MY LORD have to stop right there for a minute...The
church have produced so much mess that it is becoming old in there mess..They
appear wise...They have perfected their theology to the point of sounding and
looking wise..They have became commercialized...They know how to sell their
self....Theologians belief this old prophet came from Samuel school of
prophets...How many are they old prophets coming from a school and not from
God...
Cry Loud and Spare Not this a War cry
for the Warriors WAKE
UP!!!!
