Topic :Never Deviate From The Paths Of Obedience.

Memory Verse : 2 Chronicles 26:5. As long as Zechariah, his religious adviser, was living, he served the Lord faithfully, and God blessed him.

Bible Reading : 2 Chronicles 26:13-15 GNB. Key Verse : v15.

Under them were 307,500 soldiers able to fight effectively for the king against his enemies. Uzziah supplied the army with shields, spears, helmets, coats of armour, bows and arrows, and stones for slinging. In Jerusalem his inventors made equipment for shooting arrows and for throwing large stones from the towers and corners of the city wall. His fame spread everywhere, and he became very powerful because of the help he received from God.

Here we see Uzziah become king over Judah at a tender age of 16 after his father king Amaziah died in war when he began to depart from the paths of obedience to the commands of the Lord to walk in disobedience. When Uzziah ascended the throne in the stead of his father, he did very well at the beginning which endered him to the heart of God almighty who responded by blessing him and making him great. “(It was after the death of Amaziah that Uzziah recaptured Elath and rebuilt the city.) Uzziah became king at the age of sixteen, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah from Jerusalem. Following the example of his father, he did what was pleasing to the Lord.” 2 Chronicles 26:2-4.

Because he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, he was mightily helped. He was able to recapture lost cities and went ahead to capture some territories in the land of the Philippines. One of the factors that fueled his success was the fact that he sorrounded himself with Godly men who advised and led him in the way of the Lord. Because Uzziah took time to seek the Lord, he gave them scientific and technological breakthrough. As early as then, the first engine that fired arrows and great stones from the towers was invented which was a type of automatic machine gun of our days. Such equipments kept Uzziah and the people of Judah steps ahead of other nations. “And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.” 2 Chronicles 26:15 KJV.

Today we have to learn that the key to our success in life and the kingdom is in obeying and pleasing God all the time. Our first goal or priority from today should shift from our challenges to focus more on obeying the Lord and doing his will. When we do that, we will retain his presence and favour that attracts as well as retains his blessings in our lives. There’s nothing God can’t do for a man who makes up his mind to follow faithfully. He is able to give men divine creativity so that they can live ahead of other people and nations when they fear him. Finally we should not be carried away by the blessings of God as to become proud and disobedient after he had lifted us. King Uzziah left his kingly office to enter to burn incense before the altar of God as a priest and that led to his downfall. “to resist him. They said, “Uzziah! You have no right to burn incense to the Lord. Only the priests who are descended from Aaron have been consecrated to do this. Leave this holy place. You have offended the Lord God, and you no longer have his blessing.”” 2 Chronicles 26:18.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because you are the one that lifts and blesses men who love, obey and follow your ways. After you have blessed and lifted me, do not allow me to deviate from ways or to walk in disobedience in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Mark 10 :35-52.
