DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD
SUNDAY 6TH APRIL, 2025
TEXT: 2 Chronicles 26:15-21
[15]And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.
[16]But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
[17]And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men:
[18]And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God.
[19]Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar.
[20]And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.
[21]And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.
TOPIC : DO NO FORGET YOUR SOURCE
For every greatness and success in life there is always a secret behind it. Nothing just happen without something behind it. No suddenly when it comes to real success in life. When the enemy want to completely finish a man , they made him go against his source and a river that forgets its source will go dry.
Uzziah’s secret of greatness is simply God. God singlehandedly lift him up and at a time when he became strong, he had the world at his feet, whatever he wanted, he could have it , He became proud to the extent of going to the temple and offered sacrifices to God. This was strange because he was not a priest, the priests tried to convince him out of it, he was angry at them and God struck him with leprosy. Despite his wealth and greatness, he was cut off from the people and could not perform the official role of a king again. Watch out for pride when you become great or successful in life. Do not think you make it all by yourself but remember your source so that your end can be great.
Prayer: Father help me not to forget that you are the source of my greatness in Jesus name.
