Good morning, our Fire-starter comes from 2 Kings 20. Our Fire-starter thought is: be careful who you share things with!!!!
Our Fire-starter verse is verses 14-17

There are times that we have said I wish I hadn’t of shared that with them and the reason for it is because they either are calling everyone and telling them what you said or they are sharing with others about the situation.

Hezekiah is in this same boat of needing to be careful of who he shares things with but he is not and it comes back to bite him if you will.
These men that came to see Hezekiah were from Babylon and we know from our scripture reading that Babylon would be the same one to carry Israel captive.

Hezekiah had one problem and that was showing them everything in the house. I don’t know about you but if I had valuables in the house I am not going to show the whole world what I have because I know for a fact if I showed the wrong person where the valuables were, if I had anything valuable, then I probably should be expecting to get robbed.

If I knew my house was going to get robbed I would wait on the robber but if I open the door and show them around and then they come back and rob me of everything that I had the problem was not them, the problem would be me.

Some things we must not share with others. For example, what we don’t like about the church or what we don’t like about this person or what this or that person is going through because ultimately what goes around comes around and we must have to deal with the consequences!!
Not only are you openly robbing yourself of blessings but you are also giving cause for the unbeliever to rejoice. They are happy when you are not doing right spiritually. They are satisfied when you are out of the will of God and by the way the will of God ought to be priority in our lives. May we not share with others some things. I will close with this
There was a preacher saw a man get saved and this preacher prayed, Lord help this man not see what I see the bitterness within the church, people coming in late, families against each other but help this person just to be happy in you. Friend, don’t share everything with everyone because it will come back to hurt you if you are not careful. Our main goal is to 1. To love God and 2. To love people. Hate the sin but love the person. And if you love someone then don’t share everything with them!!!!!

2 Kings 20:1-21 KJV
In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. [2] Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the Lord, saying, [3] I beseech thee, O Lord, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. [4] And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying, [5] Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord. [6] And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake. [7] And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. [8] And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the Lord the third day? [9] And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? [10] And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. [11] And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the Lord : and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz. [12] At that time Berodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. [13] And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not. [14] Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon. [15] And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them. [16] And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord. [17] Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord. [18] And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. [19] Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days? [20] And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? [21] And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
