2Kings, the unrighteous deception!

2Ki 1:2-3, Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria, and was injured; so he sent messengers and said to them, “GO, INQUIRE OF BAAL-ZEBUB, THE GOD OF EKRON, WHETHER I SHALL RECOVER FROM THIS INJURY.” But the ANGEL OF THE LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, ‘IS IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO GOD IN ISRAEL THAT YOU ARE GOING TO INQUIRE OF BAAL-ZEBUB, THE GOD OF EKRON?’

For the vast majority of people, the LORD is always last on their list! BUT THERE IS A GOD, ONLY ONE GOD, IN ISRAEL WHO CAN HEAR AND HAS THE POWER TO HEAL! JEHOVAH-RAPHA “THE GOD WHO HEALS”

Luk 11:15, But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”

Jer 17:14, HEAL ME, O LORD, AND I SHALL BE HEALED; SAVE ME, AND I SHALL BE SAVED, FOR YOU ARE MY PRAISE. 

Yet, Ahaziah turn to satan first, the father of lies! He wanted to hear someone say that he will recover even though it was a lie!

2Th 2:10, AND WITH ALL UNRIGHTEOUS DECEPTION AMONG THOSE WHO PERISH, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT RECEIVE THE LOVE OF THE TRUTH, THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED. 

SEEK THE LORD FIRST IN EVERYTHING! LEAN NOT IN YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING; IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, AND HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS!
