2Chronicles 23, the coming KING!

2Ch 23:1, In the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself,

Jehoiada the priest strengthened himself with other believers and brought them to the house of the LORD and said to them

2Ch 23:3, … Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as the LORD has said of the sons of David

For 6 years no one knew that David still had a successor to the throne! Everyone believed that the promise of GOD failed!

Psa 89:34-36, MY COVENANT I WILL NOT BREAK, NOR ALTER THE WORD THAT HAS GONE OUT OF MY LIPS. ONCE I HAVE SWORN BY MY HOLINESS; I WILL NOT LIE TO DAVID: HIS SEED SHALL ENDURE FOREVER, AND HIS THRONE AS THE SUN BEFORE ME;

2Ch 23:11, AND THEY BROUGHT OUT THE KING’S SON, PUT THE CROWN ON HIM, GAVE HIM THE TESTIMONY, AND MADE HIM KING. THEN JEHOIADA AND HIS SONS ANOINTED HIM, AND SAID, “LONG LIVE THE KING!” 

They brought the king out of the house of GOD a seven-year-old son of David!

THE LORD KEEPS HIS PROMISSES AND EVERYTHING HE HAS SAID WILL COME TO PASS! HIS WORD WILL NEVER FAIL!

Num 23:19, “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. HAS HE SAID, AND WILL HE NOT DO? OR HAS HE SPOKEN, AND WILL HE NOT MAKE IT GOOD? 

The true KING JESUS, the SON of the LIVING GOD will one day reign as KING of all!

Zec 14:9, And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be “The LORD is one,” And His name one. 

Today people allowed Athaliah (satan) to reign because they don’t know that TRUE KING JESUS IS STILL ALIVE AND COMING BACK! BE READY! THE KING OF kings is coming!

1Chronicles 20, Confess your sins!

1Ch 20:1, It happened in the spring of the year, at the time KINGS GO OUT TO BATTLE, that Joab led out the armed forces and ravaged the country of the people of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. BUT DAVID STAYED AT JERUSALEM….

David should have been with his men, yet because he stayed home and had idle time; he lusted over a woman he saw bathing and ended with her husband (Uriah) being murdered!

Gen 4:7, … SIN LIES AT THE DOOR. AND ITS DESIRE IS FOR YOU, BUT YOU SHOULD RULE OVER IT.” 

Mat 26:41, WATCH AND PRAY, LEST YOU ENTER INTO TEMPTATION. THE SPIRIT INDEED IS WILLING, BUT THE FLESH IS WEAK.” 

David wrote Psalm 51 in which he confessed his sin against God!

Psa 51:3-4, For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight—That You may be found just when You speak, And blameless when You judge.

We all fall short of HIS glory because of our sin nature. Rom 3:23

1Ch 20:2, Then David took their king’s crown from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. AND IT WAS SET ON DAVID’S HEAD…

1Jn 1:9, IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND TO CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. 

WE’RE NOT PERFECT AND HE KNOWS THAT WE ARE BUT DUST; CONFESS YOUR SINS AND GET RIGHT WITH THE LORD!

2Kings 10, Putting away sin!

2Ki 10:15-16, Now when he departed from there, HE MET JEHONADAB THE SON OF RECHAB, COMING TO MEET HIM; and he greeted him and said to him, “IS YOUR HEART RIGHT, AS MY HEART IS TOWARD YOUR HEART?” And Jehonadab answered, “It is.” Jehu said, “If it is, give me your hand.” So he gave him his hand, and he took him up to him into the chariot. Then he said, “COME WITH ME, AND SEE MY ZEAL FOR THE LORD.” So they had him ride in his chariot.

Jehu is cleaning house starting with the house of Ahab then the worshippers of Baal!  But Here we see mighty Jehu’s pride! HE IS PROUD OF HIS OWN ZEAL! HE MAYBE DOING GOD’S WORK BUT THERE IS A LOT OF SELF IN IT!

2Ki 10:30-31, And the LORD said to Jehu, “BECAUSE YOU HAVE DONE WELL IN DOING WHAT IS RIGHT IN MY SIGHT, and HAVE DONE TO THE HOUSE OF AHAB ALL THAT WAS IN MY HEART, your sons shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.” BUT JEHU TOOK NO HEED TO WALK IN THE LAW OF THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL WITH ALL HIS HEART; FOR HE DID NOT DEPART FROM THE SINS OF JEROBOAM, WHO HAD MADE ISRAEL SIN.

Jehu did right according to the LORD and we should to treat sin in the exact way! We need to remove it completely from our sight! But Jehu didn’t remove the golden calves that Jeroboam built!

Rom 6:6, KNOWING THIS, THAT OUR OLD MAN WAS CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, THAT THE BODY OF SIN MIGHT BE DONE AWAY WITH, THAT WE SHOULD NO LONGER BE SLAVES OF SIN. 

THAT OLD MAN IS DEAD LEAVE IT THERE!
