« How horrible when the dignitary of a country is childish, and the leaders are immature »
16 A country is in trouble when its king is a youth and its leaders feast all night long.
17 But a country is fortunate to have a king who makes his own decisions and leaders who eat at the proper time,
who control themselves and don’t get drunk.
18 When you are too lazy to repair your roof, it will leak, and the house will fall in.
Understand:
As seen in our memory verse today, if the King of a territory is a child, the whole land suffers the woe.
In other words, you must choose your own leaders very carefully.
Whenever you have the opportunity to elect a leader in your country or an association you belong to, learn to put sentiments aside and elect a mature and responsible person with a credible track record.
Any single lady that has more than one suitor has a decision to make. She could choose based on looks, money or God’s will.
If she chooses based on money and looks alone, she will face the music when the time comes. However, if she chooses God will, then she is on the path towards having a great marriage and a wonderful family.
Beloved sister, marriage is a lifetime commitment; imagine how terrible it would be to have an immature king for the rest of your life.
Older women who married immature men must have ignored the red flag they saw during courtship.
Are you also ignoring the signs of immaturity and irresponsible in that man courting you?
Proverbs 6:10-11 MSG says:
« A nap here, a nap there, a day off here, a day off there, sit back, take it easy—do you know what comes next? Just this: You can look forward to a dirt-poor life, poverty your permanent houseguest! »
Run when you meet a man who is always sleeping when he should be working, or playing when he should be studying.
Before you decide on a local church to attend, watch the Pastor’s attitude closely.
A Pastor could be anointed but immature.
These ones could be linked to babies handling guns; so much power in immature hands.
Elisha was like that when he first received the anointing in 2 Kings 2:23-24. Forty-two children lost their lives in a single day because he became angry when they began to call him names. After that day, Elisha learnt to control his temper.
An immature leader whether spiritual or in the secular world is dangerous. Choose your leaders wisely.
Prayer point: Father, please give me the gift of discernment so I may please You with my choices.
Prayer point: Father, please uphold me in Your holy hands to the very end in Jesus’ Name.
