Prompt Execution

 Text: EZEKIEL 11:1-13

KeyVerse: "And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?" (Ezekiel 11:13).

Ecclesiastes 8:11 says: "Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil". The leaders of Israel during Prophet Ezekiel's ministry were stunned that fulfilment of prophecy could sometimes be executed speedily depending on God's unimpeachable wisdom. Ezekiel, led by the Spirit of God, had prophesied that Jerusalem's rebellion and idolatry would be punished with a captivity at the hands of the Babylonians. But twenty-five princes of Judah in Jerusalem, deceived by Jaazaniah and Paletiah, told the people that Jerusalem was too fortified to fall. They contemned the prophecies of Ezekiel and Jeremiah. This unbelief pushed them to look up to Egypt for support. God saw through them and declared in verse 2: "Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city", referring to the two men instigating the people to disbelieve the word of God as delivered by His servant. The outcome was the prophesy that: "Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD". This came to pass immediately in verse 13. It is impossible for God's word concern ing the unrepentant sinner not to manifest. The Lord says with firmness that "Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away" (Mark 13:31). Also in Luke 16:17, He said: "it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail". To avoid God's wrath, "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon" (Isaiah 55:7). Jesus will soon return to the world to judge sinners. This prophecy will be fulfilled as that of His first coming was. How prepared are you?

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It is deadly to be caught on the wrong side of prophecy.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: ISAIAH 30 - 33

INSTRUMENTS OF GOD

Image
The Holy Trinity  “Whoever listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me. And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.” Luke 10:16 Jesus makes a threefold connection in this passage. He connects you to Him and Himself to the Father. Thus, when you are acting as a true instrument of the Lord, and another either listens to or rejects what you bring to them, then they are either listening to or rejecting not only you but also our Lord and the Father in Heaven. One thing this reveals is the awesome responsibility we all have to bring the love and mercy of the Father in Heaven to those whom we encounter every day. We are able to be true instruments of God. In making such a strong connection between us, Himself and the Father in Heaven, Jesus is elevating our human dignity to an incredible level. This passage also reveals the fact that others will act as instruments of God to us. This is important to understand because Jesus is very clear. If someone c...

THIS PICTURES I BET YOU HAVE NOT SEEN

The time has come for us to remind ourselves of what this country used to be. Modernization and perhaps civilization has made us all so comfortable we pay little or no attention to our historical background. The only time we feel the need to get informed about the history of this great country is when we have job interviews to attend. The current affairs being taught at the primary school is not doing enough justice as many adults do not have the basic knowledge of how this country evolved and came to be what it is now. Majority of the people that represents that time of our history are gradually thinning out; the few left are either being celebrated for their works and investments or forgotten in some remote village. The pictures that would be shared here would jolt your memories and help many people know the kind of environment our fallen heroes lived in then. It is more than beautiful watching some Nollywood movies that create the picture of the kind of politics that was...
