1 Kings 13:11-22

[11] Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.

[12] And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.

[13] And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,

[14] and went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.

[15] Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.

[16] And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:

[17] for it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.

[18] He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.

[19] So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.

[20] And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:

[21] and he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,

[22] but camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the LORD did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.

MFM Daily Devotional Message Thursday, 25th September, 2025.

Many believers, who would have lived glorious lives and made heaven, ended miserably because they were careless, negligent and disobedient. In our memory verse for today, the Lord admonishes us to pay more careful attention to the words we have heard and apply them correctly to our daily lives and situations. He gave us a reason for this important admonition: so that we do not slip or drift away.

Our world is full of distractions and other devices of the enemy that have been designed to take our focus away from God and His word. The enemy wants us to ignore God's work, stop observing our Quiet Time, discontinue fellowshipping with other Christians and abandon God completely. The enemy's sole aim is to see believers drift away. When we make Bible study, memorisation, meditation and application our daily routine, we will not drift away from the Lord and His way.

The word of God is our anchor and the Holy Spirit is our stabilizer. However, it is unfortunate that many believers fall, fail and experience needless or avoidable pain for neglecting God's word as well as the prompting and direction of the Holy Spirit.

The biblical account of the man of God in 1 Kings 13 provides several lessons for us today. The word of the Lord came to the man of God and commissioned him for an important assignment. God sent the man of God to Jeroboam with specific instruction "not to eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the same way you came" (1 Kings 13:8).

Beloved, as long as this man of God heeded God's word and paid careful attention to the minute details, obeying the word to the letter, all was well with him. He demonstrated God's power and prevailed against all oppositions. However, he later met an old prophet who dissuaded him until he disobeyed God's word. When he did, he lost divine presence and covering he once enjoyed. After he had eaten and drunk with the old prophet, he continued his journey and a lion killed him. We all need to pay heed to God's word completely and always.

Partial or incomplete obedience is costly.

Beware!
