The predicament of the false prophet Hananiah was not just He was a false prophet but rather he taught to the people that which He wasn’t supposed to teach or say to Jeremiah

Some of us speak and teach rebellion against The Lord to people unknowingly.. we tell people a message which The Lord hasn’t given us just because we need their favours

It’s important for us not to contradict the word of God or the message that the Lord has given us to pass to the people howbeit in like matter so that we don’t experience the judgement of the Lord

Prophet Hananiah gave a false message saying that the yoke of Babylon would be broken in two years which wasn’t a message that had come from the Lord and because He spoke falsely The Lord said He would die that same year and just as The LORD said on how He would die that same year so He died that same year Jeremiah 28:1-3[1]IN THAT same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year and the fifth month, Hananiah son of Azzur, the [false] prophet, who was from Gibeon [one of the priests’ cities], said [falsely] to me in the house of the Lord in the presence of the priests and all the people:2]Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.3]Within two [full] years will I bring back into this place all the vessels of the Lord’s house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon.

Jeremiah 28:15-17
[15]Then said the prophet Jeremiah to Hananiah the prophet, Listen now, Hananiah, The Lord has not sent you, but you have made this people trust in a lie. [16]Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I will cast you from the face of the earth. This year you will die, because you have uttered and taught rebellion against the Lord.[17]So Hananiah the prophet died [two months later], the same year, in the seventh month.

OBEDIENCE TO THE LORD

ARE YOU REALLY DOING THAT WHICH WAS ASSIGNED TO YOUR LIFE PURPOSE BY GOD?

From a frontlined perspective as attributed by to context we realise that some people have not done what the Lord assigned to their life purpose

They are instead doing the opposite of what The Lord called them to do and walking along to the applause of the world whilst living contrary to divine purpose. They find it easy to obey their bosses other than the LORD

Many people find it easy to obey their pastor’s than the LORD

Many people find it easy to obey their parents more than the LORD. Then when we see. How about The Lord.

God gives an instruction to five kings which include

• King of Edom

He will die by the sword, famine.. e t c e t c Jeremiah 27:8[8]But any nation or kingdom that will not serve this same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, says the Lord, with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, until I have consumed it by [Nebuchadnezzar’s] hand.

The LORD told Jeremiah to make fetters and yoke bars Jeremiah 27:1-2[1]IN THE beginning of the reign of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord:[2]Thus says the Lord to me: Make for yourself thongs and yoke bars and put them on your neck,Jeremiah 27:3
[3]And send them to the king of Edom, to the king of Moab, to the king of the Ammonites, to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon by the hand of the messengers who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.
