Deception is dangerous,the thoughts come to cause disobedience against truth,and the righteousness we can live in becomes clouded with lies.
This deception Jeroboam fell under was acted on from fear( 1 Kings 12:27).Deception flows through the mind,will,and emotions and when deception is accepted as truth,it is then that we deceive ourselves and our Spiritual enemy has access to rule our flesh.
GOD told Jeroboam he would have ten tribes for Israel and Rehoboam would have one tribe for Judah.
Somehow Jeroboam lost faith (trust) in GOD'S promise, fear entered in and the thoughts, feelings and emotions took over with deception and fear of death.
Jeroboam didn't know John 10:10 that the thief (satan) comes to steal, kill and destroy and that CHRIST came for him to have abundant life.
Jeroboam did have access to Deuteronomy 4:1-2 to not add or take away from what the LORD GOD of Israel says.Unfortunately for Jeroboam his deception drove him deeper into cursing himself and the people.The promises of GOD are unchangeable and the gifts of GOD are without repentance.
God who is Truth never lies or changes His promise as a result of our actions...but He already has the way the truth and the life to adjust around our decisions.Our Father has no need to change His plan or promises, yet He always alters the circumstances surrounding our decisions.
What a Mighty GOD we serve!!!
