From a spiritual perspective, we realise that God has big plans for you more than what you can even anticipate in matter of word’s . God has very large plans and achievements in store for individuals and if you can only intend to the purpose that He has for your life so shall your desires be fullfiled

People frequently focus too much on their own insignificance rather than what God wants to accomplish through them.Individuals tend to focus on their personal failures instead of their strengths.

The Bible offers a perspective on this human tendency through the story of a man named Gideon.
God specifically chose Gideon to defeat the Midianites.
When informed of his selection by the Lord, Gideon immediately focused on his own limitations.

Gideon questioned the choice by pointing out that he belonged to the weakest clan.
Gideon doubted how he could possibly achieve such a massive task given his background.The Lord reassured Gideon despite his doubts and perceived weaknesses.The Lord told Gideon that he would defeat the Midianites as if they were just one man. Judges 6:15-16 [15]Gideon said to Him, Oh Lord, how can I deliver Israel? Behold, my clan is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.[16]The Lord said to him, Surely I will be with you, and you shall smite the Midianites as one man.

And so this teaching highlights the contrast between human self-doubt and divine confidence and thus serves as an encouragement to focus on divine strength rather than personal shortcomings.

God sends Jeremiah to the king of Judah

Some of the problems that have been persistent in our societies are attributed to the leadership we have professed to exercise and condone amongst ourselves , uncivilized leadership brings many problems as related upon to due

It’s important to exercise leadership in a way that glorifies the Lord, in a way that brings honour to His name.

JEREMIAH was a man who was given many responsibilities by the Lord and one of the responsibilities that He was given by the Lord was to go to the king of Judah so that He addresses a message from the LORD that He wanted Him to address in view to the kind of leadership that God wanted the king of Judah to demonstrate

God told Jeremiah to tell the king of Judah to Execute righteousness and justice Jeremiah 22:1-3[1]THUS SAYS the Lord: Go down to the house of the king of Judah and speak there this word:[2]Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, you who sit upon the throne of David–you and your servants and your people who enter by these gates.[3]Thus says the Lord: Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver out of the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong; do no violence to the stranger or temporary resident, the fatherless, or the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.
