DOXOLOGY and the MIND of GOD

A myth or fable or real event was narrated by a member of a religious cult or sect, and it goes thus; the founder of the sect wanted to travel from one city to another with his delegates of the ruling council of his cult. Apparently, a small very young female member of his cult had a vision warning against the trip. The founder of the cult ignored the warning on the basis that since he has regular tete a tete with God, why would God send a warning through such a very young immature member of his cult. Suffice it to say that the founder died directly and or indirectly as a result of ignoring the warning.

In the Scriptures, 1 Kings 19, the interaction between God and Elijah was noteworthy, bearing in mind that Elijah is described in scripture as the prophet that knows the mind of God. When you highlight verses 13 to 18; Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

14 He replied, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.”

15 The Lord said to him, “Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram. 16 Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet. 17 Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu. 18 Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.”

It becomes apparent that NOBODY knows the mind of God.

Romans 11:33-36;

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and[i] knowledge of God!

How unsearchable his judgments,

and his paths beyond tracing out!

34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?

Or who has been his counselor?”[j]

35 “Who has ever given to God,

that God should repay them?”[k]

36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.

To him be the glory forever! Amen.
