KING AMAZIAH

PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

KING AMAZIAH – PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

MEMORISE: And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did. – 2 Kings 14:3

READ: 2 Chronicles 25:16-23

16 And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king’s counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.

17 Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.

18 And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.

19 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?

20 But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.

21 So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.

22 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.

23 And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

MESSAGE:

Amaziah would have been a great king but for his flaws. He led the people to worship God, but he failed to remove the high places where the people sacrificed and burned incense to other gods. This gave room for a double-standard life, which God hates. Amaziah also conquered the Edomites, brought back their gods, and sacrificed to them. This idolatry resulted in a rebuke from a prophet of God, but he resisted the prophet and turned deaf ears to his warnings.

The ultimate defeat of Amaziah can be linked to overconfidence. After conquering the Edomites, he challenged another king to battle, but unfortunately, he was defeated and captured.

It is very important to learn from Amaziah’s errors. As a result of God’s love for you, He can send anyone to correct you when you err, but the onus is on you to listen and change your attitude. Don’t become overconfident even when you know so much. Always be teachable and willing to learn.

KEY POINT
Overconfidence kills; don’t give room for it.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Jeremiah 37:1-38:28, 1 Timothy 6:1-21

HYMN 56: Nearer, My God To Thee

1 Nearer, My God, To Thee,
Nearer To Thee;
E’en Though It Be A Cross
That Raiseth Me,
Still All My Song Shall Be,
Nearer, My God, To Thee,
Nearer, My God, To Thee,
Nearer To Thee!

2 Though Like The Wanderer,
The Sun Gone Down,
Darkness Be Over Me,
My Rest A Stone,
Yet In My Dreams I’d Be
Nearer, My God, To Thee,
Nearer, My God, To Thee,
Nearer To Thee!

3 There Let The Way Appear
Steps Unto Heaven;
All That Thou Send’st To Me
In Mercy Given;
Angels To Beckon Me
Nearer, My God, To Thee,
Nearer To Thee!

4 Then With My Waking Thoughts
Bright With Thy Praise,
Out Of My Stony Griefs
Bethel I’ll Raise;
So By My Woes To Be
Nearer, My God, To Thee,
Nearer To Thee!

5 Or If On Joyful Wing
Cleaving The Sky,
Sun, Moon, And Stars Forgot,
Upward I Fly,
Still All My Song Shall Be,
Nearer, My God, To Thee;
Nearer To Thee!
