DATE: TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 2019
TOPIC - THE CONSEQUENCES OF SIN
READ: JEREMIAH 6:22-30 (NKJV)
25. Do not go out into the field, Nor walk by the way. Because of the sword of the enemy, Fear is on every side.
26. O daughter of my people, Dress in sackcloth And roll about in ashes! Make mourning as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; For the plunderer will suddenly come upon us.
27. “I have set you as an assayer and a fortress among My people, That you may know and test their way.
28. They are all stubborn rebels, walking as slanderers. They are bronze and iron, They are all corrupters;
29. The bellows blow fiercely, The lead is consumed by the fire; The smelter refines in vain, For the wicked are not drawn off.
30. People will call them rejected silver, Because the Lord has rejected them.”

TOPIC - THE CONSEQUENCES OF SIN
READ: JEREMIAH 6:22-30 (NKJV)
22. Thus says the Lord : “Behold, a people comes from the north country, And a great nation will be raised from the farthest parts of the earth.
23. They will lay hold on bow and spear; They are cruel and have no mercy; Their voice roars like the sea; And they ride on horses, As men of war set in array against you, O daughter of Zion.”
24. We have heard the report of it; Our hands grow feeble. Anguish has taken hold of us, Pain as of a woman in labor.
23. They will lay hold on bow and spear; They are cruel and have no mercy; Their voice roars like the sea; And they ride on horses, As men of war set in array against you, O daughter of Zion.”
24. We have heard the report of it; Our hands grow feeble. Anguish has taken hold of us, Pain as of a woman in labor.
25. Do not go out into the field, Nor walk by the way. Because of the sword of the enemy, Fear is on every side.
26. O daughter of my people, Dress in sackcloth And roll about in ashes! Make mourning as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; For the plunderer will suddenly come upon us.
27. “I have set you as an assayer and a fortress among My people, That you may know and test their way.
28. They are all stubborn rebels, walking as slanderers. They are bronze and iron, They are all corrupters;
29. The bellows blow fiercely, The lead is consumed by the fire; The smelter refines in vain, For the wicked are not drawn off.
30. People will call them rejected silver, Because the Lord has rejected them.”
THE MESSAGE:
Iniquity and impurity make God angry because by involving in them, His creation takes Him and His Name and Word for granted, believing that He will neither do good or evil (Zephaniah 1:12). Impurity weakens God's protection and shield around His children so that they become vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy (verses 22-23).
The destruction of Judah was planned by God because they treated Him and His word with contempt and trampled underfoot, the covenant that had been sustaining them (verses 22-23). The judgment God planned for Judah was so great that only true repentance would save them, but the corruption had eaten so deep into them that they did not turn to the Lord (verses 26-30).
The same warning to Judah is being given to every individual Church and nation, especially Nigeria, today. Just as in the case of Judah, the people today are not heeding God's warning. This is why the judgment of the Lord is imminent. Let us turn to our God and live, but if we refuse, the Lord said that He is angry with the wicked every day (Psalm 7:11). Look unto Jesus and live.
PRAYER: Lord give me the grace to do Your will and live.
