<strong>Transformation</strong> 25<br />
It was not the will of God for the<br />
nation of Israel to have a human<br />
king. God was their King, but they<br />
rebelled against Him and rejected<br />
Him. They not only rejected Him<br />
but also demanded for a king to<br />
rule over them so that they could<br />
be like other nations and He had<br />
to let them have their way. This<br />
was the acceptable will of God.<br />
You should be very careful not to<br />
allow God to let you have your<br />
own way; it is going to be<br />
regrettable. God will always<br />
oppose those who oppose Him.<br />
The reason why some people are<br />
frustrated in life and have not been<br />
able to achieve anything significant<br />
is because they have insisted so<br />
much on going their own way to a<br />
point that God has no choice but<br />
to let them be. Sometimes we<br />
enter into the trap of the enemy<br />
and meet with disaster because of<br />
the acceptable will. We must<br />
guard our hearts above everything<br />
else and not allow them to reject<br />
God or depart from him, otherwise<br />
When the time comes, you<br />
will complain bitterly<br />
because of your king,<br />
whom you yourselves<br />
chose, but the Lord will not<br />
listen to your complaints.<br />
(1 Samuel 8:18)<br />
So when you get into<br />
trouble, I will laugh at<br />
you. I will make fun of<br />
you when terror<br />
strikes—when it comes<br />
on you like a storm,<br />
bringing fierce winds of<br />
trouble, and you are in<br />
pain and misery. Then<br />
you will call for wisdom,<br />
but I will not answer.<br />
You may look for me<br />
everywhere, but you will<br />
not find me. You have<br />
never had any use for<br />
knowledge and have<br />
always refused to obey<br />
the Lord. You have never<br />
wanted my advice or<br />
paid any attention when<br />
I corrected you. So then,<br />
you will get what you<br />
deserve, and your own<br />
actions will make you<br />
sick ~ Proverbs 1:26-31
