TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.” (2 Kings 1:16 KJV)

BIBLE TWEET: Elijah’s message, of the surety of Ahaziah’s demise over his sacrilegious idolatry, was the same to Ahaziah, Israel’s sovereign, as it had been to Ahaziah’s servants and soldiers. Elijah spoke truth to power every bit as boldly as he spoke truth to everyone else.

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: The true prophet of God can never be terrorized by any threat into compromising the truth. Regardless of coast and consequence to himself, his message is immutable, no matter how unpopular it is in the pews or perilous it is to preach from the pulpit.
