From an empirical perspective, we realise that there is a climax to what you know  and also a climax to what you do not know so God knows what you know and what you do not know 

God says even what you do not know He wants to tell you just as He spoke to Jeremiah when He was confined in the guard’s courtyard  but the requisition is  To call Upon The LORD Jeremiah 33:3[3]Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand).

a) Who wants to tell you  great and wondrous thing’s you do not know of? 

b) Is there a climax to what you know? How do you know that there is a climax to what you do not know?

c) What is your overall perspective in view to this teaching 

Dear Lord Jesus, am grateful for the wisdom of your spirit that is ever aligning to my spirit man in Jesus name amen 

God is specific at instruction

When you read the bible don’t read it as a story book but study it by revelation so that you get what you need to get out of it and it’s applicability in view to you concerning our day to day life 

Over year’s have realised that God is specific when it comes to instruction and the agenda always is upon us to carry out the instructions or not. 

When the LORD was sending Samuel to the house of Jesse, He told Him to fill His horn with oil.That means if his horn was empty by the time that the Lord gave Him this instruction.. He was minded upon as required to fill His HORN so before Samuel tarried upon to go to the house of Jesse.. He had to fill His Horn with oil 1 Samuel 16:1[1]THE Lord said to Samuel, How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided for Myself a king among his sons. As thus we must be subjective to the instruction of the Lord 

Reflective questions about the teaching 

a) What did The Lord say to Samuel for sure when He was sending Him to the house of Jesse?

b) What did The Lord tell Samuel to fill His Horn with? 

c) Give an understanding in view to our teaching as reflected upon in perspective 

d) According to our note of view, Who is specific at instructions 

e) Analyse purpose of note as due to our subject study

Dear Lord Jesus I thank you for your word in view that you are specific to instructions in Jesus name Amen 

JEREMIAH & BARUCH

Whilst underlying perspective in view to the story of Jeremiah and Baruch, you realise that time came when The Lord hid them from all those that wanted to do bad to their lives Jeremiah 36:26[26]And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son and Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but the Lord hid them.

It’s possible for the Lord to hide you from those that want to 

kill you

poison you

or do harm to you just as He hid Jeremiah and Baruch  if you keep after his will 

a) According to perspective in view, who hid Jeremiah and Baruch from all that were after their lives?

b) Is it possible for the Lord to hide you from those that want to do harm to you?

c) Which people as realised to thus did the king command to seize Jeremiah and Baruch ?Did they succeed 

Dear Lord Jesus am so grateful that you are hiding me from all those that want to do bad to my life 

EBED- MELECH.

From perspective, we realise that like it or not you need people with the same mind attitudes like those of ebed melech.

When Jeremiah was thrown in a cistern where he had nothing to eat.. in mad .. what happened 

A gentleman called Ebed Melech a cushite court official that was employed in the king’s palace came to the king in favour of his rescue Jeremiah 38:7-9[7]Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian [a Cushite], one of the eunuchs who was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon or cistern pit; and while the king was then sitting in the Gate of Benjamin [8]Ebed-melech went out of the king’s house and spoke to the king, saying,[9]My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon or cistern pit; and he is liable to die of hunger and is [as good as] dead in the place where he is, for there is no more bread left in the city. As thus we should also come to people’s rescue as considerate to some of the situations that they may be going through as so king Zedekiah was able to come to the rescue of Jeremiah Jeremiah 38:10-11

[10]Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from here thirty men with you and raise Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon or cistern pit before he dies.[11]So Ebed-melech took the men with him and went into the house of the king [to a room] under the treasury, and took along from there old rags and worn-out garments and let them down by ropes into the dungeon or cistern pit to Jeremiah.

a) Who is ebed Melech as represented upon in perspective 

b) What would be some of the lessons you learn and perceive from our subject matter but more so to reference concerning to the bible personality of Ebed Melech 

Dear Lord Jesus I pray that just as you used ebed Melech to rescue your servant so in that way you will also use me to rescue those who are struggling 

From a deliberate perspective we realise that God doesn’t necessarily see you according to the way you present yourself to people or how you look like in perspective of physical appearance 

He sees your heart… what is your heart like. What is in your heart is actually the most apparent truth about you. 

It’s more than what people know about you and what people perceive of you

Is your heart full of 

Hate

Rage

Gossip 

Ever complaining 

Grumbling 

bitterness 

unforgiving 

How man sees is not how The Lord sees. The Lord doesn’t see thing’s according to the presentation of men whereas the presentation of men may be key to us but that’s not how the Lord sees man. 

When Samuel reached the house of Jesse, jesse presented to Him the first born. So when Samuel saw him… He said… The Lord’s anointed is here. He Samuel possibly thought that He is the One whom the Lord had anointed yet he wasn’t the one that The Lord had anointed until The Lord had to tell Him that man looks at the outward appearance but I look at the heart 1 Samuel 16:6-7[6]When they had come, he looked on Eliab [the eldest son] and said, Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him.[7]But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance or at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.

a) According to our teaching in view, does the Lord see thing’s according to the presentation of men or how you present yourself to people?

b) Who looks at the heart as therefore attributed 

c) What context of purpose in view do you learn from our subject study

Dear Lord Jesus.. am grateful for this purpose of truth that is ever continually nourished by your spirit in Jesus name amen 

Right now people underlook you because you don t have money, you don’t have any big connection that could probably change your life for the better. Life seems to be at a scale of disadvantage on your side as if you are all alone by yourself 

You are struggling and no body seems to be on your account of progress 

When it’s The Lord’s time to favour you everyone will be shocked.. they will be surprised at the predicament of God over your life in like manner.

When Samuel realised that Jesse had another SON whom the Lord had selected as King. He said we shall not sit down to eat before he gets here… as long as David is not yet here.. the sacrifice  will not be eaten until the man that The Lord has selected or chosen is here 1 Samuel 16:11[11]Then [he] said to Jesse, Are all your sons here? [Jesse] said, There is yet the youngest; he is tending the sheep. Samuel said to Jesse, Send for him; for we will not sit down to eat until he is here.as thus it was so that the one whom The Lord had anointed was honoured and treated like that in like manner 

Reflective questions about the teaching 

a) According to our teaching in view, who is that one who was waited and people couldn’t sit down to eat before His arrival?

b) What would be some of the lessons you learn in view about divine selection?

c) What applicability is this teaching in contrast to our day to day life?

Confession prayer 

Dear Lord Jesus I am grateful that you have chosen me for fulfilment of divine purpose  and that you have a purpose for my life beyond what my finite mind can conceive in Jesus name amen 

Don’t cause The LORD to regret why He called you into ministry or what He called you to do what He instructed You to do. 

Saul made The LORD regret why He made him king because he did not carry out his instructions of killing all the amalekites in doing what The Lord had fully instructed Him to do 1 Samuel 15:11[11]I regret making Saul king, for he has turned back from following Me and has not performed My commands. And Samuel was grieved and angry [with Saul], and He cried to the Lord all night.as thus to note we shouldn’t cause The Lord to regret why He made us who we are 

a) According to perspective, who regretted why He had made Saul king? 

b) Why did The lord regret as realised upon in perspective?

c) What would be some of the lessons you learn from our subject study 

Dear Lord Jesus I pray that I will not cause you to regret why you called me to do what you have instructed me and called me to do in Jesus name. 

You will realise that some of the people you think are for you will never be happy when they see you succeed.  Don’t think everyone is happy about your success. 

Some of the people want to see you struggling with nothing to do and nothing to eat. 

When The king of Babylon appointed a man called _Gedaliah over the land_ .. over the men the women and everyone who had remained in the land guess  what happened

When the commanders of the Army and the people had all about this. They decided to do something bad and irrational to the true purpose of friendship . They came to Him at a place called Mizhap. They came with a friendly notion of view that they are for Him yet instead some of them were not absolutely  for Him in any sense. Jeremiah 40:7-8[7]Now when all the captains of the forces that were in the open country [of Judah] and their men heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah son of Ahikam governor in the land [of Judah] and had committed to him men, women, and children, those of the poorest of the land who had not been taken into exile to Babylon,[8]They went to Gedaliah at Mizpah–Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth, the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.

And as a result.  Ishmael assinated the one who had been appointed by the king of Babylon Jeremiah 41:1-2[1]NOW IN the seventh month [of that year] Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal descendants and one of the princes of the king, came [at the instigation of the Ammonites] with ten men to Gedaliah son of Ahikam in Mizpah. As they were eating a meal together there in Mizpah,

[2]Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the ten men who were with him arose and struck down Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword and killed him, the one whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land. [II Kings 25:25.]

a) According to our instruction in view, Who appointed Gedaliah over the land ? 

b) When the commanders of the army and the people heard that Gedaliah had been appointed over the land what did they do?

c) Analyse purpose of note as due to our context of due

Confession prayer  

Dear Lord Jesus I pray that you will give me the grace to stand amidst the difficult times that we are in AMEN 

God’s fiery judgement is awaiting everyone who has chosen to do that which is not in line to the counsel and instruction of the Lord 

It is  indeed unfortunate that many of the people today have rejected the counsel of the Lord concerning their work, family and spirituality . They want to do thing’s that are opposite to what God has instructed them to do 

They are confused because they have rejected the counsel of the Lord which is due to the fulfilment of God’s purpose.  

Jeremiah told Johanan and the friend’s on how it was God’s plan for them to stay in the place where the Lord had put them in and if at all they stayed in that  place the Lord would build them and not demolish them Jeremiah 42:10

[10]If you will remain in this land, then I will build you up and not pull you down, and I will plant you and not pull you up; for I will relent and comfort and ease Myself concerning the evil that [in chastisement] I have done to you [and I will substitute mercy and loving-kindness for judgment]. [Jer. 31:4, 28.] But rather they chose to rebel and thought of prophet Jeremiah as a liar Jeremiah 43:2-4[2]Then Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the proud and insolent men said to Jeremiah, You are not telling the truth! The Lord our God has not sent you to say, Do not go into Egypt to dwell there temporarily.

[3]But Baruch son of Neriah is setting you against us to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, so they may put us to death or carry us away captive to Babylon.[4]So Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces and all the people did not obey the voice of the Lord to remain in the land of Judah as thus they as due to disobedience concerning the instruction of the Lord, they faced their destruction in Jerusalem 

a) According to wisdom of thought.. what advise did Jeremiah the prophet give to his friend’s when they came to Him in like manner 

b) Give an analogy of due as realised upon in perspective 

c) What would be some of the lessons you learn from our subject study 

Dear Lord Jesus I pray that I will not be like Jehonan and the friend’s in Jesus name amen 

I want us to talk about something that is so important towards your walk with the Lord which is due to the sin of rebellion against your spiritual and biological parents

Many people have rebelled and guess who they have rebelled against  The Lord, their, spiritual father and their biological parents 

If you want your life to move in the purpose of God as it should move , you shouldn’t rebel against your man of God whatsoever.  It’s sin to rebel against your man of God and it can bring you much harm that you didn’t even  anticipate to be. 

This is what happened to Korah. He Gathered 250 people to false accuse Moses and Aeron for what they did not do saying to Moses and Aaron why they had exalted themselves above the assembly of God Numbers 16:1-3 [1]NOW KORAH son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men,[2]And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the Israelites, 250 princes or leaders of the congregation called to the assembly, men well known and of distinction.[3]And they gathered together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, [Enough of you!] You take too much upon yourselves, seeing that all the congregation is holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them. Why then do you lift yourselves up above the assembly of the Lord?

As a result of this, The Lord opened up the earth that swallowed korah and his followers as due to the note that they had chosen to despising the Lord in like manner Numbers 16:1,32[1]NOW KORAH son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men,[32]And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households and [Korah and] all [his] men and all their possessions. [Num. 26:10, 11.]

a) According to our teaching in view, who led 250 prominent leaders of the congregation in the bible to rebel against Moses and Aeron

b) What did the LORD do to Korah and all His followers who rebelled against Moses?

c) What purpose of thought do you learn from our purpose study

d) What is the applicability of this teaching as related upon in perspective? 

Dear Lord Jesus I come before you today.  I declare with my heart that I will not rebel against my man of God or whatsoever servant of the Lord that you have put my spiritual car
