NTEB SUNDAY SERVICE: Drive Like Jehu, But Finish Like Paul
Jehu was a mighty man of God who drove furiously for the LORD but he had a heart problem that led him into a ditch. Drive like Jehu but finish like Paul.
Jehu was a mighty man of God, appointed king over Israel by the prophet Elijah. Jehu drove furiously, the Bible says, he didn’t do anything halfway. God told him to smite all the followers of Baal and Jehu does so with gusto. When it’s over, God gives him a wonderful commendation on a job well done. Right up to the moment Jehu is rebuked for his “heart problem”.
“And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.” 2 Kings 9:20 (KJB)
In this Sunday Service message, we see the call to drive like Jehu, but to finish like the apostle Paul. Jehu did not make it to his finish line, he didn’t fulfill his course or his ministry. The apostle Paul did, and he lived his life as an ensample for us to follow. Follow that. Preached live this morning at Bethany Baptist Church in Saint Augustine, Florida.
