In this sobering episode of Practical Advice from the Scriptures, we turn to 2 Chronicles 21, which recounts the tragic reign of King Jehoram of Judah. Unlike his father Jehoshaphat, Jehoram chose a path of violence, idolatry, and rebellion against God—even going so far as to murder his own brothers to secure his throne.
His choices triggered a cascade of divine judgment: revolts from former allies, foreign invasions, and eventually, a devastating and fatal illness. Despite prophetic warnings, Jehoram refused to turn back. He died unmourned, leaving behind a legacy of loss.
This episode explores:
- The danger of abusing power and ignoring God
- The ripple effects of spiritual compromise
- Why leadership without integrity crumbles
- How one’s choices shape their legacy
- The urgency of repentance before it’s too late
Jehoram’s story is a cautionary tale for anyone in a position of influence—whether at home, work, or in ministry. His life warns us that success without righteousness is short-lived, but also invites us to reflect and redirect before destruction takes hold.
