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.

Reflective questions about the teaching about

a) Who is Coniah as realised upon to context of due?

b) What did The Lord say to Coniah?

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

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.

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.

People are defeated today because they are in places where God hasn’t sent them, they are establishing ministries God didn’t ordain or instruct them to establish in context with the pursuance of material possessions that come with ministry

It’s impossible to be defeated where the Lord has sent you. If He is the Lord who has sent you.. you will not be defeated.

After David had been anointed king of Israel by all the elders of Israel at a place called Hebron. He and the rest of the Israelites marched up to Jerusalem.. when they went to Jerusalem they realised that a certain kind of people were occupying the land who are the jebusites. The jebusites said we shall not allow anyone of you enter or get into this land as thus and to distinction of view. 1 Chronicles 11:5-7
[5]Then the Jebusites said to David, You shall not come in here! But David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the City of David [6]And David said, Whoever smites the Jebusites first shall be chief and commander. Joab son of Zeruiah [David’s half sister] went up first, and so he was made chief.[7]David dwelt in the stronghold; so it was called the City of David.
