This is the Voice of the Prophet

Send us a text

There was a young prophet in the book of Kings whose name was never given. All it says about him was that God told him to go and give a message to the king. God was also very explicit in instructing him not to return by the way he came. The prophet delivered the message and then the king invited him to go home with him for food and a gift. It reads in I Kings 13:9-10; So he took another road and did not return by the way he had come to Bethel. For I was commanded by the word of the Lord: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water or return by the way you came.’” There are simply things, ways and habits that we can not return to no matter what anyone else says. However, there was an old prophet that the Bible says lied to the young prophet and told the young man that God had given him a word for him to come back to eat and drink at his house. The young prophet listened to the old prophet and returned with him. Later a lion killed the young prophet. Have you ever gotten into trouble with a bunch of friends but they all walked away with no difficulties or issues? You were the only one that got in trouble and they didn’t even get reprimanded or fussed at? That’s what the donkey represents in this story those that we go back with and nothing happens to them. But as for us, the ones who have been warned, there's something waiting to destroy us. The prophet was killed but the donkey was totally untouched. When we go a way that God has told us not to go back to, it will be us as individuals that will be dealt with.
