Downsized

S: “Nonetheless the LORD said to Jehu, “You have done well in following my instructions to destroy the family of Ahab. Therefore, your descendants will be kings of Israel down to the fourth generation.” But Jehu did not obey the Law of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He refused to turn from the sins that Jeroboam had led Israel to commit.”

2 Kings 10:30-31 NLT

O: Jehu was anointed, feared and followed Gods instruction.  Yet he failed to obey Gods law with all his heart. Jehu refused to turn from the sins Jeroboam led Gods people to commit. Therefore, despite his anointing and being feared God allowed his territory to be conquered, to be downsized.

A: I am anointed and have Christ like compassion and authority. I am able to follow Gods instruction in relation to my mind or external factors in serving and speaking. However, I am refusing to obey God with all of my heart.  I'm praying, God I want to give you my burdens yet I still indulge in all types of food. God simply says cast your cares on him. If I don't figure out how to do that, my calling will be downsized. 

P: Abba, how do I cast all my cares on you. In Jesus name, amen.
