<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
