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

• king of Tyre
• king of Sidom. God tells them that whaoever doesn’t submit to Nebuchadnezzar. 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.

[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.

It’s to the unfortunate that many of our people are arrogant.

We shouldn’t forget were our blessedness came from.

We shouldn’t forget what the Lord did for us. We shouldn’t ever forget where the Lord got us from

The Israelites celebrated the passover as a monumental covenant and still do throughout all generations as due in view to remember the wonders God did for them

When you look at the word of God.. you realise that all the way from the old testament the Lord’s Passover was well celebrated. Hezekiah the king celebrated the passover in the second month even when he did not celebrate due to the unsanctity of the priest’s in the time that it was supposed to be celebrated . 2 Chronicles 30:1-3[1]HEZEKIAH SENT to all Israel [as well as] Judah and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh to come to the Lord’s house at Jerusalem to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel.[2]For the king and his princes and all the assembly in Jerusalem took counsel to keep the Passover in the second month. [Num. 9:10, 11.][3]For they could not keep it at the set time because not enough priests had sanctified themselves, neither had the people assembled in Jerusalem.

From a meditative clause, we realise that there are so many thing’s that provoke The Lord to anger one of it all being sin

We percieve that God can be provoked to anger. just like you can be angered by a neighbour who didn’t treat you well even the Lord too can be angered

Many time’s we provoke The LORD to anger unknowingly . We provoke the Lord to anger through our evil way just like the people of Judah provoked the Lord to anger Jeremiah 44:3[3]Because of the wickedness which they committed, provoking Me to anger in that they went to burn incense to serve other gods that they did not know–neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.as to thus we shouldn’t provoke the Lord to anger

Do not Hold back a word.

When God gives you a word for a certain individual or congregation

Some time’s when The Lord gives us a message to tell people we always want to second it through various phrases of Human opinions

When The Lord gives you a message that you should deliver to someone as realised upon to appropriation of due or to a group of people, You must deliver it to that person or to that congregation according to the way The Lord has given it to you

You shouldn’t add or subtract anything from the message that The Lord has given you

When The Lord told Jeremiah to stand in the courtyard of the Lord’s temple and tell the people of the cities of Judah who were coming to worship there. The LORD told Him not to hold back any word. In other wards to formalise everything that the Lord had instructed Him to tell the people that were coming to worship the Lord there whether they would embrace this message or not. Jeremiah 26:2[2]Thus says the Lord: Stand in the court of the Lord’s house [Jeremiah] and speak to all [the people of] the cities of Judah who come to worship in the Lord’s house all the words that I command you to speak to them; subtract not a word.

Most of us do thing’s to be perceived as relevant and so special to the ministry of the Lord but what we forget is that it is not even about us but The Lord. It is about The Lord and what He is to us

The uttermost inclination of David’s heart and life was about the LORD.

It wasn’t even about

• what He Had
• what He owned
• or what His position was whatsoever but The LORD

He said EARLY will I seek you Psalm 63:1

There is nothing good in our celebrity without the presence of God .

Our greatness comes to zero without acknowledging the purpose of God and who God is to us.

It’s important to note that however much we may be great in the imagination of man we are nothing without The LORD and The same God who lifted us is the same God who can still bring us down to nothing. Coniah SON of joahoakim was great but The LORD said to Him that even though He was once a signet ring on The Lord’s right hand yet He would pull Him down Jeremiah 22:24[24]As I live, says the Lord, though Coniah [also called Jeconiah and Jehoiachin] son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet [ring] upon My right hand, yet would I tear you off.

The futility of the mind is a mind that is not conformed to the purpose of God

Christians are forbidden from walking like the way gentiles ( unbelievers) walk or carry out their responsibilities in regard to due

Unbelievers do thing’s according to

• The futility of their minds

When you look today, you will will realise that some believers don’t have a difference with the people of the world. They talk like the people of the world. They do thing’s like the people of the world. They carry on their lives like the people of the world.Ephesians 4:17[17]So this I say and solemnly testify in [the name of] the Lord [as in His presence], that you must no longer live as the heathen (the Gentiles) do in their perverseness [in the folly, vanity, and emptiness of their souls and the futility] of their minds.

Are you willing to loose your life for Jesus’s sake.

Prophet Uriah executed as a result of being God’s spokesman

Some people can’t sacrifice for anything that relates to divine purpose.

They can’t afford to even spend a night in the presence of the Lord .. they are all about themselves and to the interest that the world is willing to offer them

The bible talks about a prophet of the Lord who even when He fled to Egypt the king sent men to get him who later executed Him just because He spoke the same thing’s that Jeremiah was prophecying to the people and also to the land of Judah Jeremiah 26:20-23[20]And there was also a man who prophesied in the name of the Lord, Uriah son of Shemaiah of Kiriath-jearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land in words similar to those of Jeremiah.
[21]And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put [Uriah] to death; but when Uriah heard of it, he was afraid and fled and escaped to Egypt.
[22]And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan son of Achbor and certain other men [who went] with him into Egypt.[23]And they fetched Uriah from Egypt and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who slew him [God’s spokesman] with the sword and cast his dead body among the graves of the common people.
