A KING THAT NEVER RETURNED

"And say, Thus says the king, put this fellow in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and water of affliction, until I come in peace" (I King 22:27)


There was a king in the land of Ìdẹ̀rùn who while going on an exile told the people of the land that when he returned, he will come and deal and that decisively with some people...
The fore-fathers of this king rule the land of Idẹrun with the fear of the Lord @ the peak of their hearts. And this essentially made the town progressive in all facets, everything that people laid their hands upon in the land prospered. The obvious transformations that usually followed everyone who migrated into the land made people began to move into this land, this is because even those whom people thought would never made it in life, when they get into the land of Idẹrun, their lives receive a sudden transformation that is beyond explanation  with everything they laid their hands upon becoming prosperous. This therefore made people believe that there is something (or a force) working in the land that supports the people’s progress.
Imprisoned

Soon enough the land become transformed, due to the migration of people into the land, there was expansion through-out the town.
These kings ensure that they train their wards and everyone whom they presumably think will inherit the throne after them the ways of the Lord. This trend had continued for quite a while, for centuries.
However, a king assumed the throne sometimes after the 21st king's short reign, this was because the 21st King's tenure did not last long, he did something that the Lord did not like, cheating the wife of his Youth despite being warned against such by those who are close to him, and those to whom the Lord usually revealed His mind. Because this 21st king decided to follow his own path, God also decided to cut his reign short, he did not reign more than 3 years.
Bandits

This short reign makes room for the kingmakers of the town to look for another king and majority of those selected were obviously unprepared for the throne, since the town could not be without a king and according to the standing rule of the town, the new king's election or selection or whatever must not be more than 2 months latest, 60 days from the announcement of the demise of the king.
After all said and done, this man eventually became the king of the land. But this king's actions were sub-cortical of what was expectant of the kings of the land as he started to favor those from his tribe, he was favouring the members of the families alone, giving wrong judgments on all occasions of justice... The worst of all was that he started meddling in religious affairs, he wanted everyone to be worshipping his god, and this was nay the practice of the land, because freedom of religion had been the standing order of the land....
He started arresting priests of God, started making decrees that would kill other religions, started signing the killing of those who did not belong to his type of religion...

This action of his moved the Lord of heavens to anger and he decided to silence him, albeit before doing that he sent one of his messengers to him to go and warn him that if he failed to repent he will not last another 150 days. The 150 days were given him because the Lord wanted to give him ample room for repentance, but instead of repenting, he did not but continued his ways and he asked his security guards to arrest and reprimand the man sent to him to some corners of the prisons...
After keeping this man in a prison with the aim of coming out to silence him, an urgent meeting involving all kings of the nations of the then world was sent to him and he left before the day break the following morning to go and attend the meeting giving his guards instructions to keep the man in the most darkest of all dungeons till his return.
When he got to the land, after the successful completion of the meeting he had went for, he was about 4 miles away from home when some Armed bandits attacked him and his entourage, they killed everyone and took him to a high mountain where he was pushed down headlong, his heads hit the stones and he became meat for the birds of the air....
Push Off Cliff

The king never returned to execute his demonic orders on the man God sent to warn him...
No one antagonising the gospel will ever return to the throne irrespective of whatever, God is the one who establishes leaderships, He is the one who crowns kings and rulers, when a king or ruler is going against His Children, such a king is indirectly attacking thorns and directly doing so when the king wants to silence the Way to The Kingdom of Heaven...

Conclusion
Have you seen a leader troubling a child of God? Such king's days are numbered in that position of authority, soon enough the person would be taken off the place if such a one’s life is not totally cut off from the surface of the planet called earth. Therefore, fear thou not, for the bible says, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Tim. 1:7)
