Now therefore, here is the king whom you have chosen and whom you have desired. And take note, the Lord has set a king over you. 1 Samuel 12:13 NKJV
This year, may we walk in the perfect will of Elohim.
Saul was from the tribe of Benjamin. Not the right tribe. Years earlier there had been the prophetic declaration by Jacob that; 'The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.' Gen 40:10 NKJV.
The kingship was meant for the tribe of Judah not Benjamin.
Infact, the prophecy concerning Benjamin tells its own story – ‘Benjamin is a ravenous wolf: in the morning he shall devour the 'prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.' Gen 49:27 NKJV.
Unfortunately, many of the children of God are operating in permissive will. It looks right - after all God chose Saul and Prophet Samuel anointed him. So everything is okay. Time did tell otherwise.
The Israelites never asked God. They displaced Him as King and sought an earthly king. They wanted to live by sight and not by faith. They followed the flesh not the Spirit of God. Not our will oh lord, but let thy will be done.
They missed the revelation given to the Patriarchs. The word of truth and life, which had been passed down through Moses. How many times have we read the Holy Scripture that tells the mind of God, yet we see what we want to see?
It’s not too late to let Elohim God have His perfect way.
