Relocation

Day 202

Reading: Jeremiah 22:1 - Jeremiah 26:24

Moving from one house to another house is a tedious situation. I am never excited about moving house. The whole process is taxing and one I just wish I could snap my fingers and its done. One of the things I have learnt over time is that God is God of relocation. God has the power to relocate you to the place He has designed for you. In studying the Book of Jeremiah I am discovering that we have a large role to play in our relocation with God. 

Jeremiah prophesies to the children of Israel that due to their disobedience they would be relocated to the land of captivity. Disobedience triggers our relocating to the wilderness. The wilderness is a place of bondage where freedom is not there. Many today are not dwelling in the land of blessing but in the land of curses because of disobedience. God is not mocked and don't be deceived that sin is overlooked by God today. Disobedience to the Word of God does not bring greatness to your life. 

God is a merciful God. We continually see in the Bible that even when He judges His mercy is never-ending. He sent Jeremiah to prophesy the captivity and destruction of Jerusalem yet He also gave him a promise of the rebuilding. Not only did God promise deliverance, He gave a timeline. As I was reading this passage of scripture it struck me that many times we are past the timeline of God. God told Abraham that the children of Israel would be in Egypt for 400 years. Yet they stayed there for 430 years. Is it that God was wrong? God cannot send a deliverer to His people until they cry to Him. When God sent Moses with the relocation plan He stated that the cry of the children had reached His ears. Has your cry for deliverance from captivity reached God's ears?

Jeremiah prophesied and stated that the children of Israel would be held captive for 70 years in Babylon. God promised to execute the captors and return His children to their land. I have an announcement I want to make over your life. Get ready for your relocation to the land God has ordained for you. Cry to Him and remind Him of His promise to plant and build you up in His land, where you will have a heart only for God and His ordinances. Returning to God opens the door to being relocated to the land of God.

Memory Verse: Jeremiah 24:6-7

Decree:

Jeremiah 22:29
O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord! (italics mine)

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than

Dont Go Back to Egypt

Day 207 Reading: Jeremiah 42:1 - Jeremiah 45:5 When life's blows strike us our response matters more than we realise. Many believers today are in a place of bewilderment because life has dealt blows that have knocked the wind out of them. As a result, many are questioning whether God is still God. Reading the Book of Jeremiah I have been encouraged to trust in God at all times.  The remnant children of Israel upon seeing the King of Babylon conquer them asked Jeremiah to seek the mind of God regarding their desire to go to Egypt. The same pattern of thinking that their forefathers had in saying let's go back to Egypt was on display generations after. Many people don't realise the importance of right thinking. God delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt, to desire to go there for safety is a smack to God in the face! When faced with trouble don't allow the thinking of God helps those who help themselves send you to Egypt. It's a death trap! Man
