THE POWER OF GOD'S WORD

Friday, January 2, 2009

Today's Reading: Jeremiah 1:9-10

1:9 Therefore I bring charges against you again,” declares the Lord. “ And I will bring charges against your children's children.
1:10 Cross over to the coasts of Kittim and look send to Kedar and observe closely see if there has ever been anything like this.

From the book of Jeremiah we can see the process of writing the Bible, here they are:
1. God touched the mouth of Jeremiah, the prophet, with his hands (Jeremiah 1:9).
2. God put the words inside Jeremiah's mouth (Jeremiah1:9).
3. God told Jeremiah to write all His words (Jeremiah 36:2).
4. Jeremiah wrote the words with the help of Barukh son of Neria.
5. Because the word were destroyed. And God wrote the words again through Jeremiah and Baruch.

This process is a very basic thing for the Christians to put their trust on the Bible as the 100% word from God. Not only His ideas, concepts or thinking but also His words. Meaning that the Christians are not only to understand the content in general or just the big pictures but also supposed to pay attention and study on the words in the Bible. Because every God's word is very meaningful, important and serious.

We can see this truthfulness in the Jeremiah's story. From there, there is one main and very important truth that the word of God would never be failed. What ever He said will be happening because He knows everything. He knows the future. He knows about what has happened to the Kings, Nations, and Kingdoms. He can make all things possible. Everything under His power and control. That is why Jeremiah knew what the kings should do to be saved and to able to win. And he also knows what will happen to the kings who have no trust in His words.

All of his life, Jeremiah was in 5 different kingdoms: The king of Josiah, Joahas, Joachim, Zedekiah. From all the five kings only King Josiah who was righteous in front of God. And the other last four were the evil kings. And in fact, only Josiah who came with victory at his kingdom time. But the other four kings were in great lost and tragic death and sadness.

Beside that, the word of God that being told through Jeremiah to the Egyptian, Kasdim, Babel and other nations was happening at that moment too. God proved to be really keeping his promises that He was going to raise Jeremiah, the son of priest from Anatot to take out, take down, destroy, put down, build up,and to plant. King, Nation and Kingdom whom listened and believed will win and save but if not will be struck down and perished.

The same thing will happen to the people in the this modern time, if they listen to His word, believe and doing it, they will be saved, if not, they are already under the punishment (Romans 3:23;6:23).

Word of Prayer :
God thank you for the lesson this morning. Give me ability to keep hearing Your words, believe and doing it with all my heart. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
