Everyone is replaceable...!

I Samuel 13:13-14 NKJV

And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you. For now the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to  be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”

Shalom! Day #145. Do you know that many at times we disobey what the man of God tells us not to do and what to do? Let's pray.  Father, forgive us for disobeying the words of Your servants. Give us a heart that would obey Your words spoken through Your servants. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

In today's verse is an example of what is happening nowadays. Most of the time, when a servant of God warns us, we tend to listen but not to obey. For example if you are in a relationship with an unbeliever,  or may be a relationship that's not according to the will of God, when a servant of God says "no you must be yoked with an unbeliever," yet we disobeyed and we continue and then later something went wrong, then we regret of what we have done and we would think that"if only I heeded the warning given to me." Most of the time people come to servants of God for advice, but when the advice is given, they find it very hard to accept it and to do it, they just listen and obey not.

In this verse almost the same situation. Saul has no authority to perform the sacrifice offering. He was waiting foe Samuel to show up, but he came late, and so Saul does the sacrifice offering. Disobedience can cause us losing our calling. Never think in your heart that you are irreplaceable. Everyone is replaceable. Never ever think that without you the whole ministry will collapse,  or the worship team cannot move on, or there will not be a good leader. You are already making way for your downfall. In this case Saul's disobedience caused him to lose his title as a king. "The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to  be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you." Be extra careful to obey, observe and do the commandments of God. When a servant of God prohibits us to do something that we should not do, then better don't do it, or else we will the price for our actions and face the consequences. 

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
