TOPIC: KEPT FOR THE THRONE

TEXT: 2 CHRONICLES 23:1-11

1 And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.

2 And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

3 And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.

4 This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;

5 And a third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.

6 But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.

7 And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.

8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.

9 Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David’s, which were in the house of God.

10 And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.

11 Then they brought out the king’s son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.

Key Verse: “Then they brought out the king’s son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king” (2 Chronicles 23:11).

MESSAGE:
On many occasions, Satan has used individuals to fight against the will of God. God may permit them for a short while, but He will finally put a stop to their evil work.

Do you remember Joseph? Everything that happened to him, from the time God gave him the dream about his future glory to the moment Pharaoh also had his dream, suggested that his dream will never come to pass. Yet, his dream was fulfilled.

God works through everything that happens to His children to fulfil His plan for them. God always raises up faithful people to bring His purposes to pass.

Athaliah thought she had killed all the king’s sons; therefore, God’s promise to David would not come to pass. She did not know that God had used the priest and his wife to hide Joash, the only surviving son of the late king.

God created you for a purpose. He will provide all the help you need to fulfil that purpose. No matter the plan of Satan and his agents, there is a Jehoiada along your way that God will use to preserve you on the path to glory. However, you must be holy, prayerful, watchful and obedient to God’s word.

Prayer: Lord, send a helper to me, and give me grace to faithfully follow Your path to greatness.
