1 Kings 12, 13 [The Message]

Jerobaom was an example of what leaders will do to engender support and a following. He made golden calves for Israel to worship. He let anybody who wanted to be a priest do it. It was a repulsive gesture so God sent a holy man to prophesy against it all. Jeroboam was afraid his subjects world stop following him and run to Rehoboam in Jerusalem. Instead of being obedient to God and following His laws, Jeroboam manufactured devices and novelties to entice Israel to look to him for leadership. It was a disastrous failure.

Jealous leaders will do almost anything to keep their followers. Instead of prayer, fasting, and obedience, they resort to gimmicks to keep interest in their leadership alive. No doubt there will be leaders who covet a move of God like we have seen at Asbury. They will come up with ways to attract interest from seekers hungry for more of God.

Let TRUE revival come!
