                                                Are You An Ahab?

There is plenty of teaching in the Church about Jezebel but not much about Ahab. Ahab was a wicked man, but he let others do his dirty work, he also let the wickedness of Jezebel rule over Israel for his own pleasure. (Study 1 Kings 16:29 - 22:40)

:

“In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri became king over Israel; and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years. Now Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of The LORD, more than all who were before him. And it came to pass, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians; and he went and served Baal and worshiped him.” 1 Kings 16:29-31

The problem with Ahab was not just his wickedness and lawlessness before GOD but that he allowed Jezebel to actually run the country by her witchcraft. This is what is happening in the Church today. There are many leaders who do not believe what The Bible says and teach contrary to what The Bible says.

There are denominations that not only allow the people of their churches to practice sin in their lives but they promote it in the leadership of the churches. They actually stand against GOD and His Bible in their doctrine and practice of religion.

There have been false religions since Cain who claim to worship GOD and there have been false religions based on false gods. The problem today is that most of The Church is asleep or too weak to proclaim the truth of the Gospel. They do not want to cause controversy or hurt the feelings of sinners. SHAME ON THEM!

Paul the apostle wrote, “For I  am not ashamed of The Gospel of CHRIST, for it is the Power of GOD to Salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jews first and also for the Greek. For in it the Righteousness of GOD is revealed from Faith to faith; as it is written. ‘The Just shall Live by Faith.’” Romans 1:16-17 He wrote this to the Church in Rome, the center of persecution of Chrstians and the place where he would be beheaded for His faith and obedience to GOD’s Call for his life.

Today in the Modern Western Church there is no real persecution, but there will be or GOD is not just. Here we might be faced with being deplatformed from social media or ridiculed in a public place or even put in jail for our social disobedience against government restrictions on our right to practice our faith. In a lot of countries Christians are actually persecuted: beaten, robbed, imprisoned, raped and murdered for their faith and obedience to GOD’s Call for their life. In several African nations, in India (Manipur, right now) in Pakistan, Iran, etc. Soon persecution will be worse here because we the people of GOD, His Church, the Body of CHRIST allow sin in our fellowships and do not denounce false churches who proclaim they are serving GOD and CHRIST!

Look at the history of the world and especially Israel, as the rulers were so the countries became. Today in America we have the most corrupt and anti-christ government since king George ruled the Colonies.

As we the Christians allow sin in our midst so the nation continues to plunge into a wicked government controlled anti-christ society.

If each of us as individuals, families, groups, fellowships, ministries, churches and denominations do not take 2 Chronicles 7:13-15 seriously then we will suffer the persecution that other nations are now suffering. GOD will purge the Church of its’ sin and many who are innocent will suffer through the process with the guilty.
