1 Kings 12-13
This prophet had been given deadass orders from God not to eat or drink anything on his mission. He died because he was trolled by someone who be lying that he got a message from God. Wallah scary. Judging from the fact that many Australia 'christians' are becoming more and more lukewarm and cherry picking in scripture, a scenario like this will definitely occur to me. Let this passage be a lesson not just about the importance of truthful doctrine but also the astounding holiness of God. I should not be taking advantage of His name or be taking his commands lightly. After all, God did indeed wipe out a legitimate prophet for not obeying Him even though to us it doesn't seem like a big deal. Even though I may not directly hear voices or interpret visions from God, he directly talks to me through scripture. The knowledge I receive from this is all that's necessary for me to seek direction from Him.
Thank you Lord for giving me resources to understand your character and your commandments in which I can apply them more and more.
