 THE REJECTED VESSEL (Par t 4)

Text: 1 Samuel 15

INTRODUCTION:

In the last part of this series, we discovered that the sacrifice

offered in disobedience and unrighteousness is vain and that

rebellion is a terrible sin against God.

Today, as we continue in our studies, may the Lord teach us

and shower His blessings upon us in Jesus Name.

1. WHAT MEN SAY OR WHAT GOD SAYS

Men of the world around you i.e. from your family, office,

neighbourhood, church e.t.c have a lot to say about you and the

law of your God. It is better to hearken to the voice of God rather

than those of men, as men's voice could be misleading and

confusing.

I Sam. 15:24, I Cor. 14:10, I Pet. 1:24-25, Ps. 27:1, Ps. 118:6, Isa.

51:12-13, Prov. 29:25, Jn. 17:14-17, I Jn. 2:15-17, Exo. 23:2,

Acts 4:18-19, Jer. 26:13.

2. WHEN GOD SAYS NO, WHO CAN SAY YES

Our God has the final say. Whenever He says no, no one can say

yes and when He says yes, no one can say no.

However, before God's final “no”, He gives men enough

opportunity for repentance and reconciliation because He is

plenteous in mercy.

I Sam. 15:23, Isa. 46:9-11, Ps. 62:11, Isa. 40:27-29, 14:27, Ps.

103:8, 2 Cor. 1:3-4, 2 Pet. 3:9, I Sam. 15:25, Matt. 27:3, Heb. 3:7-

8, Isa. 1:18.
