But Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the Lord has destroyed your works.” Then the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish. 2 Chronicles 20:37

The works of those who do not listen to the Most High will be done in vain. Although they obtained success in material terms, when it comes their time to leave this life for eternity, they will discover that they labored in vain.  The most productive attitude is to obey the Word, for in it there is the necessary power to do what God declares.  The disobedient rejects the Lord and obeys the devil. Mercy!

The Omniscient speaks to us in many ways; maybe through sadness in our heart or listening to a good proposition and even His testimony concerning that specific subject, by reading the Bible or hearing somebody preach the Word.  To hear and to listen to His voice is a blessing – a kindness from the Lord.  Therefore, meditate on that which calls your attention from the sacred Text.

The naval shipyard enterprise that Jehoshaphat and Ahaziah had established in partnership failed because God Himself had all the ships wrecked.  This was a good thing for Jehoshaphat so that he had an opportunity to repent and see the danger he was in for having been drawn far away from the Omnipotent.  Often times, the Lord allows someone’s failure because He loves that person. Otherwise that person would get lost in the trappings of riches. The Almighty wants everyone to be saved.

If your plans were frustrated or unexplainable situations occurred in your commercial life, stop, look, listen and examine yourself. When God wrecks someone’s works it is time for self-analysis, assessment and evaluation!  There is no freedom away from obedience to divine principles.  No matter how hard and diligently a person tries to succeed, if this person ignores the Most High, they will not be able to count on His assistance.

There would not have been any loss suffered if God had been consulted by Jehoshaphat and agreed to him setting up the shipyard.  But the Lord would have never concurred if there was a wicked partner involved. You can’t be too careful when choosing a partner or even a spouse.  The Most High helps those who follow Him in obedience.  Be faithful to the One who chose and called You to be among the saved.

Take a look around and see what has happened to you and your family. If you are erring, straighten up!  Flee from the lure of wealth and riches, the cares of life and ambitions for other things of this world. Be content with what God gives you.  Never break a Heavenly precept; if you do, you will not succeed.  To be at peace with God will lead you to success.

That the Creator may wreck all the “ships” that you develop or build without His calling or consent, especially those built in partnership with someone who does not observe His commandments. Return to belonging to the Father and the enemy will not hold you back. Better is the little in the right path than abundance in the way to damnation. (Proverbs 15:16)

In Christ, with Love,

Absolute Lord! We would love to see the works of rebellion being wrecked! We do not want to move or act against Your will, but, unfortunately we have behaved in this way and have faced the consequences.

Deliver us from the deceitful lips of the wicked, from showy or ostentatious offers and temptations of wealth and riches. Sadly we must  confess and admit that often this is the case. Consequently, later on, we realize the destructive evil that we have caused.

We have only to pay attention to You, so as to be within and under Your wings.  Rid us from the threats of the enemy and from corruption.  We need to be guided by Your hands.  Come visit us, protect us and love us!
