We realise that it is essential to prioritize seeking and inquiring about the Lord’s will before making any major life decisions or entering into new associations.
God’s will is vital for fulfilling one’s specific purpose in life.
King Jehoshaphat of Judah serves as a primary example of leadership by refusing to go to war until the word of the Lord was consulted.
We are encouraged to take dedicated time to contemplate and reflect on what God desires for us
The teaching highlights that people often neglect to ask for divine guidance when entering into business deals or personal agreements.
We realise that 1 Kings 22:2-5 illustrates the necessity of spiritual inquiry before physical action.
Ahab, the King of Israel, sought a military alliance, but Jehoshaphat insisted on putting God’s word first.1 Kings 22:2-5
[2]In the third year Jehoshaphat king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
[3]And [Ahab] king of Israel said to his servants, Do you know that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we keep silence and do not take it from the king of Syria?[4]And [Ahab] said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead to battle? Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.[5]But Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire first, I pray you, for the word of the Lord today.
