Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa
King Saul, the first king of Israel, did not obey God's voice.
The Lord wrote about King Saul's actions:
"I regret that I made Saul king."
When Samuel heard the Lord's words, he was deeply saddened and cried out to the Lord all night.
He probably prayed desperately, begging God not to forgive King Saul.
However, God removed Saul from the throne.
Even now, and in the past, those who were used as instruments by God (pastors, missionaries) disappear from public view one day onward.
…Many reasons have been cited, but the common thread is…
"They did not obey God"
This is the biggest reason…😥
…The main reason why people drift away from Jesus…and from the church is…not obeying God’s word❗️.
We are…truly weak beings…😥.
King Saul’s mistake was…when he was wrong…😰
…not repenting to God❗️.
…Sometimes…we stray from God’s path…😨
At those times, we hope to immediately repent and return to the original path to heaven❗️.
Shalom😃
