Hello My Friend; Good day.
Our reading for today is from Jeremiah chapter 49. The prophecy of Jeremiah covered all the nations surrounding Israel namely: the Ammonites (descendants of Lot from the incestuous relationship with his second daughter); the Edomites (descendants of Esau); Damascus; Kedar and Hazor; and Elam. All these were great nations who boasted of their wisdom and strength and self-sufficiency. The Edomites were in constant conflict with Israel due to the birth-right situation between Jacob and Esau. They rejoiced greatly at the fall of Jerusalem not knowing that their downfall was coming. One of Job's friends, Eliphaz was from Teman, a town which was reputed for wisdom (see Job 2:11). When Nebuchadnezzar's army arrived, their wisdom was thrashed and could not save them from God's anger. O man, why should you boast of wisdom and ignore God? "Flee for your lives, says the Lord. Go deep into the deserts, O people of Hazor, for Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, has plotted against you and is preparing to destroy you."(verse 30). My friend, let this warning come alive to you today. The enemy of your soul is around the corner and is ready to destroy you. RUN !!! Hide in the shadow of God's wings. Pray to the Lord your God. Repent of your sins of jealousy and pride. Run for your life. God's mercy is abundant and secured. Look at verse 39: "But in the latter days I will bring the people back, says the Lord." The same thing He said in chapter 48:47; "Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab in the days to com". He will restore yours too my friend. In the Millennium Kingdom, Christ will reign as the King of all the earth. He will welcome everyone and will have the power to rule them in love, peace and submission. Hallelujah. Amen.
Prayer for today: Let us all say, Amen. Come Lord, come.
Apostle Ndueso Udoiwod.
