(Fourth part)
Memory verse (2Chro25:7): " But a man of God came to him, saying, O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel—not with any of the children of Ephraim ".
When you let out the wrong people in your life, God will come in and be your partner. King Amaziah of the kingdom of Judah wanted to go for war and he hired soldiers from Israel. God sent his servant, a prophet and told the king that God does not want Judah and Israel to go for battle together because the Lord is not with Israel. Israel were brothers with Judah, it was reasonable to work together but Israel had turned away from the Lord. This teaches us a great lesson; If brother does not walk well with the Lord the Bible teaches us not to have fellowship with him. But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person. ( 1cor5:11 )
Now there are reasons why people partner with wrong people, they want to survive. You think, this person will get me a job, this person will connect me to great people, king Amaziah thought the army of Israel would help him defeat his enemies. If you trust men you will fall like men. God told Amaziah: if you go with them its alright but know that I won’t be with you and be sure you'll be defeated. He accepted the word of the Lord, but he asked God: but what about the money I paid to hire them ? God said: I will pay it back. Obedience brings compensation.
My brother , my sister, you don’t need to keep company with wrong people because of certain temporary gains, leave them and don’t mind what you’ll lose. God will pay it back. There is no loss in obedience, there is no loss to do the will of God. It pays to obey the Lord. When Abraham separated with Lot, God showed Abraham the plan he had for him (Gen13:14-17). If you want to see the great plan God has for you, just separate yourself from wrong people. God knows that as long as wrong people are still having a place in your life, they will destroy God’s plan for your life, so, God will keep his plan for you hidden until they go. Let them go and God will let the miracles, provisions, the visions, the right connections flow into your life.
