    "I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people. I only want them to turn from their wicked ways so they can live."

    Don’t Ignore the Bible In the chapter of 1 Samuel 15 we read that King Saul of Israel receives a Word from God to destroy the entire Amalekite nation, including women and children.

    We look at the fall of King Saul. We see how he rationalized his sins by selective obedience, shifting blame, and subterfuge. Then we study the true nature of obedience and end with an enlightening story.

    God has given us different talents because God has different jobs for each of us to do.

    Most of us understand that, but what many do not seem to understand is what God has called them to do and equipped them to do, HE EXPECTS THEM TO DO! Our desire should be as Christ's. He said in John 4:34, "...My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work." ...read more

    King Saul started well, but ultimately shipwrecked his faith. God's Word is given to us so that we may learn and avoid the pitfalls of the enemy.

    Slipping by Degrees Text: 1 Samuel 13:5-14, 1 Samuel 15:1-35 OPEN WITH PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING One of the saddest things to see, at least to me, is someone who - by all appearances seemed to be a Christian, fall into sin and apostasy.

    Disobedience Positions People For Replacement

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 5, 2025
     | 102 views

    Disobedience is not just a mistake—it is a doorway to replacement. Saul had all the advantages: the anointing, the title, the people. But he lost it all because he put personal opinion above divine command. God does not bless stubbornness; He honours submission.

    DISOBEDIENCE POSITIONS PEOPLE FOR REPLACEMENT By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Samuel 15:1-29 "Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king." – 1 Samuel 15:23b Supporting Texts: 1 Samuel 13:8-14, 1 Samuel 16:1, Deuteronomy 28:1-2, ...read more
