Since When Is The Man Of God Your Enemy?

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 1 Kings 21:20 Ahab said to Elijah, "So you have found me my enemy." "I have found you," he answered, "because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the Lord." O-bservation: Ahab was the wicked king of Israel.

First Pray

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 1 Kings 22:5 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “First seek the counsel of the Lord.” O-bservation: Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, visited the king of Israel, whose name was Ahab. When he arrived, Ahab asked Jehoshaphat to join his army so the two of them could go after the king of Aram and take back Ramoth-Gilead, which Ahab claimed was rightfully theirs anyway. Jehoshaphat agreed. However, he told Ahab, “We must First Pray!” A-pplication: In the story, Ahab was not a man of God, and Jehoshaphat certainly was a man of God....

That’s What The World Thinks Of Us

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 1 Kings 18:17 When he saw Elijah, he said to him, “Is that you, you troubler of Israel?” O-bservation: Three years earlier, the prophet Elijah had declared a famine and a drought over the land of Israel.

When Ahab, the wicked King of Israel, saw Elijah, he called the man of God the “Troubler Of Israel!” A-pplication: Isn’t...

The Worst King Ever!

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 1 Kings 16:30 Ahab son of Omri did more evil in the eyes of the Lord than any of those before him. O-bservation: Ahab, the King of Israel, married a heathen woman named Jezebel and set up Baal worship in all of Israel. He was undeniably "The Worst King Ever" in Israel's history. A-pplication: You may be asking this AM, "How does a man become so evil?" My answer is that he had help. A few verses earlier, the scripture speaks of Ahab's father Omri. The scripture says of Omri, "But Omri did evil in the...
