Message Take Aways:

1. Jehu served as an instrument of judgment bringing retribution upon the house of Ahab in fulfillment of God’s prophetic warnings—“Yet surely My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? So they returned and said: ‘Just as the LORD of hosts determined to do to us, according to our ways and according to our deeds, so He has dealt with us.’” Zechariah 1:6

2. Jehu served as a reformer in Israel as he executed the worshippers of Baal and destroyed their temple—“for you shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God” Exodus 34:14

3. Though Jehu was utilized by God in Israel, his reluctance to fully submit to the law of the LORD revealed the true condition of his heart—“I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.” Jeremiah 17:10
