As our month of family matters continued, the Lord spoke to us today through His servant, the under-shepherd, Rev. Kayode Oke.

Topic: Ahab and Jezebel: Combination Unwanted
Text: 1 Kings 16:26-33

The message was subdivided into 4;

1.      BAD ANCESTRY
Both Ahab and Jezebel came from an ungodly family as seen in scriptures.
1 Kings 16:25
But Omri (Ahab’s Father) wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him.
1 Kings 16:37
… he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.  


2.      BAD MARRIAGE
Two unconverted people came together in marriage. Whenever you see such, know that the end usually is a disaster.
-          So let’s not get carried away by what carries others away


3.      BAD LIFE
The lives of Ahab and Jezebel after coming together was very bad.
-          Jezebel was regarded as about the most evil woman that ever lived, haven seen some terrible things she did in her time. Revelation 2:20 regarded the ‘evil woman’ as a Jezebel.
For example to Naboth (1 Kings 21:1-14)
Also to Elijah (1 Kings 19:1-3)
-          Ahab also lived a bad life. (1 Kings 16:30-34)
He lived worse than Jerobo’am who the Bible recorded to have built alters for Idols, and had more evil records than his fathers.

I Kings 16:30
And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.

“When sin begins to look trivial to you, watch out, destruction is on its way”


4.      BAD ENDING
-          Ahab died a bad death in war
1 Kings 22:34
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.

-          And so did Jezebel
2 Kings 9:29-37
(Vs 33) And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot.  
CONCLUSION
“If you miss it at the point of marriage, it is difficult to make any meaning out of life and if any coming together  is against the Lord, it will end up in disaster.


PASTOR’S CORNER
“Marriage changes things. Your marriage will affect your life and prospects. It could ruin…(or) hasten your speed towards fulfilling your potentials” (Jerry Akinsola)
Since marriage is this important to life, shouldn't we rather  pray well and think deep in order to make right decisions concerning marriage.

  TOPIC :       BEAUTIFUL BUT COSTLY CHRISTMAS. TEXT:   LUKE 2:11-14, MATTHEW 2:13-16 Luke 2:11-14 (NIV) 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." Matthew 2:13-16 (NIV) 13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him." 14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod.

Session 4 of our 2018 Family Revival took place today, as God continued to speak to us through His Servant Rev. Dr. Jerry Akinsola. Today’s teaching was titled; MANIFESTING GOD'S GLORY BY RAISING CHAMPIONS Text; Genesis 18:1-19 When God gives you a family, He's giving you an assignment, and this assignment is raising champions. GOD'S EXPECTATIONS FROM EVERY RELATIONSHIP Genesis 18:19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. Malachi 2:15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. 1. Ensure that your spouse is a fulfilled and effective disciple of Jesus Christ. 2. Raise your children to be God e...
