Focus: Psalms 85:8 - KJV
8. I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
Psalms 85:1-12
It is one thing for the Lord to issue guidance, it is another for us to respect His position and follow it to the letter. When we follow His position, He becomes committed to backing us up to the end. It is true that when the Lord is for us, no one can undo us. But, when we turn ourselves to folly by doing things our ways as against the way set out by the Lord, we end up in a situation that is regrettable in the end. For instance, the Lord had said to Joshua that no man would be able to withstand him. But after ‘he’ did the destruction of Jericho, which was the type of the first fruit of the promised land, in ‘his’ own way by the sin of Achan, as against the way of the Lord, he met with crass defeat in Ai despite God’s promise to him. When he corrected the error, overcoming Ai was simple.
A time was when the king of Israel purposed to go to war in Ramoth-Gilead. He persuaded his guest the king of Judah to go with him. As it was customary to the lineage of David to seek the guidance of God, the king of Judah counseled to seek the voice of God in the matter. Ironically, prophets operating under lying spirits told the kings to go on to the war and victory was certain. But there was a Micaiah in whom dwelled the Spirit of the living God who prophesied otherwise and was not honored by Ahab the king of Israel. The word of God through Micaiah spoke peace, but the king was not given to peace. In the end, the counsel of the liars was upheld and there was great devastation. It is possible for lying spirits to give guidance in the guise of God. If God is not in it, particularly when it does not speak peace, then it is a folly. Only the counsel of the Lord shall stand.
Incidentally, AI today stands for Artificial Intelligence. It has become a big deal in the affairs of men and has taken over to a large extent, individual assertiveness into learning thereby raising lazy folks for the next generation of mankind. The Lord’s guidance regarding all of the manipulations and disorder in human life that we are currently facing is simple. If we will do that which the Lord directed from the beginning and correct the misdeeds done in folly, then shall we have victory over every Ai messing up the promises of God in our lives. The prophesies of the lying prophets sounded good to the hearing of the listeners as AI appear a good tool for growth today. The Lord had said that in the end times, knowledge would increase. Now, we witness the increase, but it is more in the hands of the wicked who are making living hell for others. It will serve to fulfil the plans of the anti-Christ in due time. A return to the injunction of God will make us win.
SOLUTION: A return to the roadmap issued by Christ will give the believer victory when push comes to shove. It is however, imperative that we all start to follow the line of obedience to God now, and not when it is too late.
Please pray:
· Give thanks to God for always being ahead of the enemy and all his plans of disorder
· Ask God to please expose the secret plans of the enemy that all eyes may see and submit to the living God
· Pray God to please help you to always follow His lead and not that which appears attractive emanating from lying spirits
· Ask God to show forth in the affairs of mankind now to help defeat the enemy and his plans as He defeated Ai for Joshua
· Ask for your daily bread today.
