THE REAL ENEMY

THE REAL ENEMY

                                                1 Kings 21:17-28

Ahab said to Elijah, “So you have found me, my enemy!” 1 Kings 21:20

People who speak God’s Word are labelled troublemakers and enemies if they confront an unjust government, a corrupt church, or sinful neighbors. But the wicked have no worse enemy than their sins.

When God sent a drought, Ahab called Elijah the “troubler of Israel.”

Elijah responded, “I have not made trouble for Israel. But you and your father’s family have” (18:18). When Elijah confronted Ahab in his victim’s vineyard, Ahab snarled, “My enemy!” Elijah responded, “You have sold yourself to do evil in the eyes of the Lord.” Elijah did not choose to be Ahab’s enemy. Ahab chose to be God’s enemy, Israel’s enemy, and his own worst enemy.

Who is the real enemy? They are the.....

haters of righteousness,

haters of truth,

haters of light,

haters of God’s word  

haters of God’s messagers’

haters of children of God and

haters of God Himself.

They have no interest in goodness and ever show kindness to anyone. They have sold their soul and mind to commit violent and bloodshed anywhere and anytime.

They find pleasure in doing evil activities, and delight in carrying out wicked scheme where ever they are found.

The Holy Scriptures declares “when the wicked rule the people mourn but when the righteous rule the people rejoices”

Prayer:

Let God arise and let all his enemies be scattered, May the Lord overthrown the wicked from their sit but may he established the righteous on the throne forever.

Amen.
