Jeremiah 20:1-2, 9 NLT
Now Pashhur son of Immer, the priest in charge of the Temple of the Lord, heard what Jeremiah was prophesying. So he arrested Jeremiah the prophet and had him whipped and put in stocks at the Benjamin Gate of the Lord’s Temple.But if I say I’ll never mention the Lord or speak in his name, his word burns in my heart like a fire. It’s like a fire in my bones! I am worn out trying to hold it in! I can’t do it!
Good morning and praise God. I hope you're having a good day. There's this day I had just visited a fellowship and being the first time, I simply shared a verse. The members were all older than me. The following day, all members were not happy about me . One lady had the courage to face me admonishing me that I shouldn't use verses to rebuke them indirectly. By the way, these devotions have caused wars to me severally. Later I learned that those fellowship members had pushed one of their own to be fired because they didn't like her way of doing things and now the verse had sharply addressed that without my knowledge! In our extract today, Jeremiah is physically whipped for delivering God's message of an impending exile due to these people's sins. Jeremiah just like me and you wasn't happy about it. Infact, he felt that God was putting him in hot soup and leaving him there. Worst of it all, he couldn't help delivering God's messages to these people because it would burn in his heart like fire. He says it was like fire in his bones. One fact is that when God decide that you'll do an assignment, He will have a way to ensure you do it no matter how much you try to assume. He might smite you like Paul to change your whole life or mute you like Zechariah the father of John the Baptist! What must we do then? We must pray more, express ourselves more plainly to God, weep when you feel like, be real before God! Your main duty is to obey. You must pray for perseverance for that obedience to God may sometimes be disobedience to some! It might be seemingly shameful or outdated or even offensive. Your work is not to try and make it better but instead to just obey and deliver it. When they fight you, be assured that God who sent you with the message always won all battles and will win future and His mesage is true. I pray that the enemies of God's work will not make you give up or silent when you need to speak. God loves you, have a blessed day. Shalom. Shalom.
