Surely, there's an end...
Surely, there's an end to unfaithful prophets who align with Ahab uncritically - this implies an acceptance of Ahab's views, actions, or beliefs without questioning, challenging, or considering whether he was good or bad, right or wrong, and a random arrow shall strike Ahab unknowingly. King Ahab is depicted in the Bible as one of Israel's most wicked kings due to his association with Baal worship and the injustices he and Jezebel committed.
Ahab hated the bearer of God’s message. His real conflict was with God, but he focused his hatred against the prophet Micaiah.
The undiscriminating, unthinking, undiscerning, and insensitive actions to other people's feelings shall be judged. This means, individuals who act without careful thought, or who fail to show empathy or understanding towards others, and treat people without regard for their unique situations or emotions, will face consequences for their actions.
400 prophets spoke in agreement on one issue. No matter how powerful and persuasive their presentation, their message was unfaithful.
There's a lying spirit hovering the land, an atmosphere where falsehood, deception, and false prophecy are widely accepted, leading people away from the truth.
No matter your situation or how poor you may look, God is looking for those who will stand and speak unapologetically, and ready to speak on behalf of the LORD.
1 Kings 22:20 KJV
"And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner".
Since Ahab wanted to be deceived, God would give him what He wanted, using a willing fallen angel who worked through willing unfaithful prophets.
Ahab went into the battle, and did not want to be identified as a king and therefore be a special target. He thought this would help protect him against Micaiah’s prophecy of doom, but God orchestrated the unintended actions of a man to result in an exercise of His judgment. "And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded" 1 Kings 22:34
Ahab faced the end of his life, dying propped up in his chariot. When his death became known, the battle was over.
I want to take a moment to encourage you and to pray with you, that in the midst of the battles we face, whether they are physical, spiritual, or emotional, please know that victory is certain.
The struggles impacting our nation, our churches, our families, our ministries, and our businesses will soon come to an end. The forces that have been working against you will be rendered powerless.
God will sovereignly and intentionally intervene to bring an end to a source of severe oppression, control, and suffering in Nigeria in Jesus mighty name, amen
Let us stand firm in faith as we await the manifestation of His promises.
