2 Kings 8:11-13 "Elisha stared at Hazael with a fixed gaze until Hazael became uneasy. Then the man of God started weeping. "What's the matter, my lord?" Hazael asked him. Elisha replied, "I know the terrible things you will do to the people of Israel. You will burn their fortified cities, kill their young men with the sword, dash their little children to the ground, and rip open their pregnant women!" Hazael responded, "How could a nobody like me ever accomplish such great things?" Elisha answered, "The Lord has shown me that you are going to be the king of Aram." (NLT)

In life there are many people who seek solace in the things of God. Some may even start well, they join a prayer group most times they are nothing and God places a great destiny upon their shoulders but regrettably their hearts being unwise they are lifted because of pride and destroy the very wells that made them. God, the whole time sees their hearts.

The verses show us that Hazael a servant of the king of Aram, having been sent by his master to the prophet Elisha became a great lesson for generations when Elisha looked at him and wept. What should have been good news that he will be the next king of Aram caused the man of God to weep, because he saw the kind of King Hazael would become. We learn that it is not about the blessings God will give us but what the blessings will make us.

What you become after you have been built says a lot about your heart.

One might ask, why didn't God change him? The principle here is to teach you that God will abide faithful but it matters how you learn. Hazael never pleaded with the man of God to pray for him not fall in the evil works. There are still many people like Hazael in this age, who are raised by prophets in God but yet when they are of age and great, they work a lot of evil as though they were never raised by godly men. In so much that they turn against the same house that raised them and murder it publicly.

Never let a seer weep over your integrity; most breakthroughs were not the purpose in the first place. God is after your heart; better a no body but loved by God, than a king who destroys the house of God.
