A SHOCKING REPORT.

Centre verse:1 Samuel 3:13" For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth;because his sons made themselves vile,and he restrained them not".  TEXT 1 Samuel 3:11-21. If the sanctuary at Shiloh was ancient Israel's most honoured treasure, Eli the chief priest did not show his honour in the way he treated his sons matter for the house of the Lord God. However, the Lord found no error with Eli for giving duties in the temple to his sons,Hophni and Phinehas,He upbraided their father for not stopping them upon discovering their vileness. Eli failed in parental guidance and discipline. It pains to observe that those who are suppose to be a models of good conduct in the house of God are the root of defilement. This obviously was a worse presentation of dishonest for righteousness. God had to intervene. The Bible says,He sent someone to warn the priest of the impending justice that would bring an end to Eli's priesthood and death, in one day,of Hophni and Phinehas. In the same way,family would also no longer be in the lineage of priests. Therefore, there was the prediction that Samuel would replace Eli. There are three central points to note here.  First, it is not sufficient to pretend to honour God on the basis of merely being a worker in the house of God. Second, God does not dishonoring of His redeemed Church lightly because "He has purchased it with his own blood". Finally, family and church members must be watchful to urgently discipline offended brethren in order not to bring down the entire Church when God move to judge sin;for" if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged "(1corintians 11:31). God will punish sinners on earth and in eternity. Surrender your life to Jesus through repentance now,forsake all your sins,receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour and live a holy lifestyle to escape God's anger. REMEMBER THIS: You must move from sin to avoid God's move against sin.
