* King Jehu has a present for the worshippers of Baal.


Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet 

II Kings 10:18-28  And Jehu (king of Israel) gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.

19 Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

(The worshippers of Baal were the sacrifice Jehu planned for Baal.)

20 And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.

21 And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another.

22 And he
(king Jehu) said unto him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.

23 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the Lord, but the worshippers of Baal only.

24 And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him.

25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.
 


26 And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them. 

27 And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day. 

28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

Fate today for all in churches who cast aside scripture to worship other doctrines:

II Thessalonians 2:10-12   And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

At the judgment seat of Christ all who fell away from following scripture and followed other doctrines will suffer great loss for all eternity.

We will be judged by the New Testament Bible and measured by that which we do according to The Word given us in the New Testament Bible, not by doctrines of the church you attend.

So each of us need to be sure that our doctrines that we follow are in the New Testament Bible, and if any church teaches another doctrine, we must depart from that church.

II Corinthians 5:10-11    For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men.

II Kings 10:29  Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.

The sins of Jeroboam: He had made 2 golden calves, and set one calf up in Bethel and the other in Dan and told the children of Israel to go to those two cities to worship God before the golden calf and they did not have to go to Jerusalem to worship God. 

Jeroboam also set up priests from vile men and would not let the Levites, who were appointed by God as priests, do their appointed work. The Levites had to move to Judah to work as priests.  (I Kings 12)

***

II Kings 10:30  And the Lord said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in Mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in Mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.

31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.

If we fail to live by all the Word of God in the New Testament Bible, as shown us by the Holy Spirit, we will suffer loss.

New Testament church today: Take heed that you receive "a full reward".

II John

8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

***


II Kings 10

32 In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel; From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.

34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

35 And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.

36 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.
