The word of the day is from Jeremiah chapter 49,50 and 51. The Lord pronunced destruction upon the Ammonites, Edomite and the Babylonian,for they had invaded and taken possession of the promised Land which the Lord had promised the Israelites. They also had caused destruction in the lsraelites and Judah cities. Though the Lord was angry with the descendants of Jacob for their wicked ways,He only wanted to punish them and not destroy them because He had a promise with their fore father’s. The Lord was also angry because these other nations practiced idol worship and Introduced their wicked worship practices to the Israelites. These nations believed in their number of their chariots and horses and also in the amount of treasures they had.They also adored the mighty and Swift men who they had. The Lord destroyed all their treasures, chariots and He also brought fear to the mighty and Swift men that they escaped and even forgot to taken their children with them. Yes the Lord used the Babylonian to punish the Israelites but He didn’t accept their attachment to things of the flesh and idol worship practice.
As Christians do we desire to be sons of a bond woman who are more of the lust of flesh or do we desire to be sons of free woman who are from a promise from the Lord? Let’s set our vision on the promise of the Lord than on the flesh desires?
I have had people saying that Christians are poorer than the people who idol worship.these maybe true according to the eyes of the flesh but it is not true according to the Lord. The riches according to the Lord are not only of these world but for forever and forever.
