Topic: What’s This Bleating of Sheep I Hear?
Text: 1 Sam 15: 13-14
When Samuel reached him, Saul said, “The Lord bless you! I have carried out the Lord’s instructions. But Samuel said, “What then is this bleating of sheep in my ears? What is this lowing of cattle that I hear?” Amen
God instructed King Saul through the prophet Samuel to invade and UTTERLY destroy the Amelekites for the evil they did Isreal whiles the latter returned from Egypt.
Saul summoned 200,000 foot soldiers and an extra 1000men from Judah and invaded the land. He destroyed all but spared the best sheep and the life of King Agag.
As Samuel approached the camp of the soldiers, King Saul greets Him and says ” I have carried the Lord’s instructions”. Samuel replies “What then is this bleating of sheep in my ears?
Beloved if we have indeed surrended our lives fully to Christ and obey Him fully like others see us do, where from these sounds of bleating sheep all around us? Talking about those things we do to please ourselves and other men even when we know its contrary to what God has commanded us.
We still fornicate, steal and cheat big time. We lie our way through everything. At times we are the most unforgiven persons on earth, yet the first at church and last to leave. We act and speak to make everyone believe we walk in perfect obedience when we are not.
Lets think about the sounds of bleating sheep in our very lives and ask the Holy Spirit to help us Obey Him fully. (Y-Outreach Network)
