1. I can only say what my God says (12-27)

Micaiah was an unpopular man because he spoke the truth. The messenger sent to summon Micaiah advised him to give the king favorable advice--as everyone else was doing. Micaiah told him that he would speak only God's word. Micaiah tried to say only something good, but he could not. He prophesied King Ahab's death in battle if he attacked Aram at Ramoth Gilead. He told him that the other prophets were full of a lying spirit. The false prophets were so angry that one slapped Micaiah. Ahab was so angry that he had Micaiah put in prison.

2. Ahab's death (28-34)

Ahab took special precautions. He did not dress in his royal robe or ride in his royal chariot. Only Jehoshaphat went to battle looking like a king. But a stray arrow pierced Ahab's armor and he died. The word of God's prophet was fulfilled. Ahab could not cheat death.

Application: Lord, help me to be faithful to teach your word as it is. Raise up Bible teachers with the courage of Micaiah.
