Presumption
1 Kings 20:10-11
Both kings in this passage are guilty of presumption. Benhadad believes due to his size and power that he will prevail. Ahab (one of the worst kings of Israel) believes that he will prevail. In this lesson we will look at what God thinks about presumption.
Presuming that God will always come to your rescue or that because you are a Christian everything in your life will be perfect. [Josh.7:2-12] There may be sin in the camp.
Presume to know better than the pastor. God has put that man in a position of authority in your life; you will do good to obey.
God has given you the knowledge you need in your Bible. Don’t go to the book store in search of some (prophets) man’s opinion.
God is in control, not you. [James 4:13-17] your boastings are evil and are sin.
