TOPIC: The Word of God, part 1
I am reading Ezekiel 6:1-4
1. And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2. Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,
3. And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.
4. And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I cast down your slain men before your idols.
As we know, Israel as a nation, was God's chosen nation. When Israel backslided and went back and worship idols, God was not happy with them.
Israel was a nation, today they will cry for help from God, tomorrow they will leave God after victory and started worshipping idols.
Despite of this attitudes, the Love of God was still with them, to the point that, God destroys who ever fight with Israel. Is only God that can determine how to deal with them over worshipping idols.
God revealed to Ezekiel what they did, and where they raise their trust on. They boasts on their high mountains, hills, rivers, valleys, altars, idols images and their slain men, and forgot the LORD who saved them from the land of Israel.
One thing I noticed from our God is that, before He resume His actions against you, He will first of all send you a message through a prophet, a pastor, an elder, an Evangelist, etc, which in the message, you have two options, either to repent from your sins or face His anger.
Just like what happened in Nineveh, that great city. He sent Jonah to them to warn them without destroying them immediately, and they all repented, including their Kings. Read Jonah chapters 1-4 and you will get the whole story and how they repented.
This was exactly what God did with Israel. He sent Prophet Ezekiel to them to prophesy to them that He (God) will destroy those things they place their trust on and those things they worship as god. Let me tell you my brother and my sister, if God is angry with you, only His anger can destroy the whole nation.
What are you boasting on. Have you been ignoring Word of God?
Some of you, you will today sin and cry for forgiveness, tomorrow you will go back and sin again, that same sin. Now that, you have heard from His servant, Will you allow Him (God) to live in your life? To direct your steps, your deeds, your life, your emotions, the type of food you eat, type of friends you keep, etc?
Don't wait until God send a Prophet to you before you repent. Hearken unto this message. Why not repent now and forsake all your sins, leave the idols you worshipped, break the images you kept in your house, come out from the rivers you are possessed, remove your trust from the mountains and hills you hid yourself, and burn that idols altar you builds for the Satan just for protection, for disappearing, for favour, etc.
Jesus is calling you now, He is coming back to earth any moment from now. You could be a church member, yet, you are not born again. You could be an elder, Evangelist, Deacon, Bishop, pastor, priest, apostle, prophet, Oracle, yet, you are not a born again.
This is your opportunity to save your soul, do not ignore this Clarion call, accept Jesus Christ into your life today.
