hey hey!
OH OH ... what UP! Can you believe it's May already? I mean... wow... that was faaaaast! Things here are going pretty well. I hope things are going well on your end. Aight, on to... da Word!
checkit:
The Lord said to him, "Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram. Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet. Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu. Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel -- all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and all whose mouths have not kissed him.
- Da Lord (1 Kings 19:15-18)
Whoa.......... I don't think there is anything unclear about what da Lord wants to happen. Let's back up a lil' bit though. First, Pops is talkin' to Elijah (old testament prophet badmammajamma). Second, Elijah was running away! Yeah, homeboy was straight SCARED! Why? Cuz, third, the Israelites were offing prophets left and right. Uh huh, that is right potnas! The Israelites started worshiping a false god called Baal, among SEVERAL other things. What happened yo!? It's like the Israelites straight turned on Pops! ....yup.
So n e who, Elijah was terrified and ran faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar away and prayed that Pops would take his life. Pops lead him to a place, "appeared" to him, and spoke the above. There are a couple things we can take from this. One, do NOT oppose Pops yo! Noooo wayyy! NOT a good idea, nope, nada. Once we go too far, you know hittin' the point of no return and thus forcing da hand o' Pops (cuz Justice must come at some point), the result will not be pretty. Matter of fact, it will be swift.
Second, notice the clarity in the direction Pops gives Elijah? There are no holes in this game plan. No... not one. EVERY base is covered. One, Elijah was told to go back the way he came (WHAT!? Didn't Elijah just run from the prophet blood hungry Israelites?!?). Two, Pops appointed a new leadership. Boom, out with the old, in with the new. Three, Pops picked Elijah's successor. See, Elijah wanted no more, he was scared, and he wanted Pops to take him. So, Pops will relieve Elijah of his duties and appoint a new Old Testament Prophet badmammajamma, heh heh. Four, there will be a purging of which none will escape. There is a backup to the backup to ensure the operation is complete yo...... whoa...... Five, Pops had already decided on a reserve of Israel, peeps with a specific attribute.
See, Pops left no room for ambiguity or confusion. He was clear, direct, and focused. That's how Pops is yo! Homeboy is NOT wishywashy, He comes correct. So if Pops is tellin' you something, believe me, you will know what he's saying kid ;-D heh heh. Finally, yo this is a great model for us as well. I mean, if we came up with plans that are this tight, you know much less problems we would encounter with communication, execution, confusion... da whole NINE!
As Pops is clear, let us also be clear. OH, and let's not force da hand o' Pops ;-D I don't know about you, but I'd rather receive blessings than the alternative, tru!
G-bless,
