OPEN HEAVEN 4 JUNE 2025 WEDNESDAY: THE DANGERS OF FAME

OPEN HEAVEN 4 JUNE 2025 MEMORISE: “And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.” 1 Samuel 15:24

OPEN HEAVEN 4 JUNE 2025 READ: 1 SAMUEL 15:1-31 (KJV)

1 Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD.

2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.

3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

4 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.

5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.

6 And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

7 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt.

8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.

9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.

10 Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,

11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.

12 And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.

13 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.

14 And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?

15 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.

16 Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.

17 And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?

18 And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.

19 Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?

20 And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.

21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal.

22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.

25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.

26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.

27 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.

28 And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.

29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.

30 Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.

31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.

Today’s Powerful Confession: I confess today that I reject the approval of men over the approval of God, and I choose humility, obedience, and faithfulness in the mighty name of Jesus. Somebody Shout Hallelujah!

OPEN HEAVEN 4 JUNE 2025 MESSAGE

“*As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.*” (Proverbs 27:21)

People should not chase after fame because of its potency to destroy. In (1 Samuel 9:1), Saul’s father, Kish, was described as a mighty man of power who was also wealthy.

Yet, Saul was obviously very humble because when his father sent him to search for their lost donkeys, he went without complaining.

Even during the search, he listened to his servant’s advice to seek a prophet’s counsel concerning the lost animals (1 Samuel 9:6-8).

When he became the king of Israel, he was humble in the first two years of his reign until he began to seek the approval of men.

Saul forgot that it was God who appointed him king, and he began to chase after endorsements from men.

The first time he did this was when the Philistines gathered against him, and Samuel delayed before joining him at Gilgal.

When he saw the people scattering from him, he did what he wasn’t supposed to do by offering the burnt offering (1 Samuel 13:7-10).

He did the wrong thing because he wanted to gain the people’s attention and approval. It was a costly mistake because it earned him God’s disapproval.

When we allow the desire to gain people’s approval to move us into doing the wrong things, we have set ourselves against God.

In (1 Samuel 15), despite his earlier mistake, God gave Saul a chance to repent. He instructed him to destroy the Amalekites.

God’s command was clear: utterly destroy them and spare no one (1 Samuel 15:3).

However, Saul, in his blind lust to be ‘a man of the people,’ went against God’s instructions (1 Samuel 15:24).

When we seek fame above serving God, we have fallen into the trap of the fear of man because the Bible says that the fear of man brings a snare (Proverbs 29:25).

People who desperately seek fame will compromise God’s standards to please people.

At the end of the day, such people, like Saul, will lose out because God will not trust a man who desperately desires fame with the precious matters of His Kingdom.

Beloved, do not chase after the approval of men. Rather, let God’s approval be your primary motivation.

When you fear the Lord and serve Him wholeheartedly, He will position you to influence others for Him.

OPEN HEAVEN 4 JUNE 2025 KEY POINT

If you seek fame above serving God, you have set yourself against God.

OPEN HEAVEN 4 JUNE 2025 HYMN 31 –

YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION

1 Yield not to temptation,

for yielding is sin.

Each vict’ry will help you

some other to win.

Fight valiantly onward;

dark passions subdue.

Look ever to Jesus;

He’ll carry you through.

Refrain:

Ask the Savior to help you,

comfort, strengthen, and keep you.

He is willing to aid you;

He will carry you through.

2 Shun evil companions;

bad language disdain.

God’s name hold in rev’rence,

nor take it in vain.

Be thoughtful and earnest,

kind-hearted and true.

Look ever to Jesus;

He’ll carry you through. [Refrain]

3 To him that o’ercometh

God giveth a crown.

Through faith we will conquer,

though often cast down.

He who is our Savior

our strength will renew.

Look ever to Jesus;

He’ll carry you through. [Refrain]
