Hello My Friend; Good day.
Our reading for today is from Jeremiah chapter 47. Before Pharaoh Necho attacked Gaza in 609 B.C., Jeremiah and other prophets like Isaiah, Amos and Ezekiel had prophesied about the destruction of the Philistians at Gaza and Crete, which is the modern name for Caphtor, the original home of the Philistians. Since the time of Saul and David, the Philistians had always been a thorn in the flesh of Israel. The two nations battled consistently and the current conflict between Israel and Gaza is no new thing. What the world and the news media is not talking about is to question why Israel is in control of the Gaza territory? Are the Palestinians throwing rockets from Gaza making a statement against Israel's expansionism and confiscation of the land of the Gaza people? The descendants of Anakim, we met in Deuteronomy 1:28; 2:10. They were called giants. Jeremiah 47:6-7 talk about the sword of the Lord which would not rest until it destroys all enemies of God and enemies of God's people. Here we see the tenderness in Jeremiah who begs for God's compassion even on the Philistines. The rod of God and so is the Word of God must accomplish what God had ordained. Hallelujah. Amen.
Prayer for today: O Lord, you are merciful to all those who repent and turn from their evil ways. Command your peace upon Israel and the people who live in Gaza. The ceasefire negotiated by the United nations is only temporal. Yours is everlasting peace. Let it be the portion of this waring nations for in the Name of the Prince of Peace we pray. Amen.
Apostle Ndueso Udoiwod.
