Jehoshaphat King of Jehovah’s Word

Background Jehoshaphat was the 4th king of Judah who reigned, c. 872-848 B.C. (1 Kings 22:41-50; 2 Chron. 17:1 – 20:37) There is an emphasis made in the life of this king on his right relationship with God (2 Chron. 17:1-6) What can we learn from Jehoshaphat? We learn the importance of going to God first, before acting – Bible study and prayer first, before making decisions in life

King of Jehovah’s Word Jehoshaphat wanted the people to hear and learn from God first (2 Chron. 17:7-9) Jehoshaphat wanted to hear from God before going to war (2 Chron. 18:4-7) Jehoshaphat wanted the people to hear God’s judgment first in daily, personal matters (2 Chron. 19:4-11) Jehoshaphat wanted to hear from God in prayer before going to war against Moab (2 Chron. 20:3,5,18,20,27)

King of Jehovah’s Word Jehoshaphat was rebuked only when he joined himself with man first, instead of with God (1 Kings 22:44; 2 Chron. 19:1-3; 20:35-37)

Check With God First This important principle is taught in the OT (Num. 9:6-8; 15:32-36) This important principle is taught in the NT (Acts 15:24)

Check With God First When we want to know the plan of salvation When we want to preach a sermon When we want to plan the work and worship of the church When we face temptations When we are working out personal issues (M-D-R, conflict resolution)

Check With God First When we make important decisions in life (marriage, jobs, moving) When we have to make priorities When we check with man first, we will always have problems (Prov. 14:12; Jer. 10:23) When we check with God first, we will always be blessed
