Today, we study the 2 Chronicles 26 where King Uzziah was MARVELOUSLY HELPED BY GOD.
The Pertinent Principle for us today is the significance of Man’s loyal heart towards Almighty God.
Theme:
“LOYALTY TO GOD – KEY TO PROSPERITY”
Key Scripture
2 Chronicles 26:5
“And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God:
AND AS LONG AS HE SOUGHT THE LORD, GOD MADE HIM TO PROSPER”
Scriptures
2 Chronicles 26:5
2 Chronicles 26:15
2 Chronicles 16:9
2 Chronicles 26:16
James 4:8
Proverbs 16:18
Isaiah 42:8
John 3:27
2 Chronicles 7:14.
Reflection One
“God made him prosper”
Brethren, the PROSPERITY from God accompanies the PURSUIT OF GOD!
Simply speaking, when we seek the Lord, we will experience ALL ROUND PROSPERITY FROM GOD.
It was recorded of King Uzziah that “his fame spread far and wide, he was MARVELOUSLY HELPED TILL HE BECAME STRONG”
(2 Chronicles 26:15)
(2 Chronicles 16:9) confirms that “the eyes of The Lord is looking to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose HEART IS LOYAL TO HIM”
Conclusion
If we MUST change our WORLD & LIVES, We MUST seek The Lord & touch Heaven
Reflection Two
“PRIDE LEADS TO A FALL”
2 Chronicles 26:16 recorded that “When Uzziah prospered/became strong his HEART was lifted up to his destruction”
That was PRIDE!
The Bible categorically instructs that “PRIDE goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Pro 16:18)
PRIDE is DISLOYALTY to God and blatantly appropriating the GLORY that belongs to Almighty God Alone!
Of course, “God does Not share His Glory”
(Isaiah 42:8)
According to James 4:8, God resists the proud hence actions of PRIDE is tantamount to becoming an ENEMY of God.
Do not Forget
A man can receive NOTHING unless it has been GIVEN TO HIM FROM HEAVEN
(John 3:27)
May The Lord grant us the SPIRIT OF HUMILITY. Amen.
Prayers
1. Father, please forgive us for our PRIDE.
2. Father, According to 2 Chronicles 7:14, In sincere humility, we pray that You help our LEADERS and heal our Land In Jesus Name. Amen
