GOD KNOWS YOU
MEMORY VERSE: “And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings.” 1 KINGS 14:6
TEXT: 1 KINGS 14:1-6
The story in our Bible passage is a very interesting one. It shows the peoples ignorance of who God is. Jeroboam was a servant of Solomon whom God chose to be king when the kingdom of Israel was divided after the death of Solomon. God gave Jeroboam 10 tribes, while Rehoboam the son of Solomon was ruling over only two tribes. Unfortunately, Jeroboam forsook God who appointed him as king and worshipped idols.
What a bad way to repay God’s goodness. Now the son of Jeroboam was sick and at the point of death. At that point he remembered the prophet of God named Ahijah whom God used to prophesy to him that he would become king. But he did not want the prophet to know that he was the one who needed help because he knew the evil he had done. So, he told his wife to dress like another woman in disguise thinking the prophet would not know. But God told the prophet the whole secret and the prophet exposed the pretentious woman.
Many children today play pranks thinking they can hide from God.Some children claim to be born again but they tell lies, fight in the school, steal money from their parents’ purse and pockets, keep bad friends and engage in all kinds of deceptions, thinking God does not know. But God knows. God knows your name, He knows where you live and He knows all you do. Are you truly born again or you are just disguising with Christian dressing? God knows YOU. Therefore, you must repent now and be saved.
