 Hosea.4: 6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou
hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no
priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will
also forget thy children.
This word DESTROYED in the Hebrew is:
damah, daw-maw'; which has several meanings as follows: (1) to be dumb
or silent; (2) hence to fail or perish; (3) to ease, (4) to be cut down
[ off ] ), (5) be brought to silence, (6) to be undone.
The time
has come for each of us to take a good look at the way / manner in
which things are transpiring around us; Nationally and Internationally.
Have you noticed that in matters where it’s expected that certain
persons (Leaders) should speak up; they are dumb / silent?
Are you
taking note of the world systems (Political, Religious, Economic,
Insurance, Employment, etc;) and their failures; and are not these are
the very same systems that the people have been methodically trained
hold onto as their safety net? Now, stop for a moment and ask yourself
this question “What’s Going On?”
Think it not strange that as a
nation we’re seeing and experiencing that which we are at this time. The
simple fact that we as a people have creatively chosen to reject the
true knowledge (da'ath, dah'-ath) of God (Yahweh) and being obedient
thereby; which is resulting in our
perishing in various areas of our lives; personally and nationally.
The
deception that many persons have given into is that “they’re of the
view that once they are praying and fasting, God would overlook their
continual / consistent disobedience to His word or their partial
obedience thereof.” Whereas they seem not to know that partial
obedience, is disobedience.
One of the first steps to be taken in
rectifying this deception that we’re walking / operating in as a
people; is the step of humility. This is where each of us, from the
least to the assumingly great among us to humble ourselves before God
and one another; admit that we don’t know everything and be openly
willing to receive from those who might know that which we don’t.
While
we do give honor and respect to whom they are due; it’s also of he
utmost importance that even the recipients of such honor and respect not
allow the spirit of pride and arrogance to
be their down-fall.
It is not God’s will that any should perish;
but yet many shall and are perishing. This is as a result of the
choices many would have made or are making. Agree or disagree as much
as you wish; life is about choices.
Here’s what God’s word says:
Deut.30:
19. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I
have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore
choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
2011, and the
coming years will not make room for those who choose to reside on
Complaining Boulevard and Murmuring Street; nor for those who resides on
the Corner of Just Pray About It, and Do Nothing Avenue.
During the
days of the Prophet Elisha, the nation of Israel was going through a
rough period; there was a severe famine in the land (2Kings.7:3-5), and
four leprous men decided / made a choice to get and do something. Their
choice / decision changed
the course their nation’s history; what choice or decision are you
going to make? Are you going to get up and do something ? or Are you
going to continue your Complaining and Murmuring ?
Watch this !
2Kings.7:3-5:
:
3. And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and
they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
: 4. If we
say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we
shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore
come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us
alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
: 5.
And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians:
and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria,
behold, there was no man there.
Again, it’s not God’s will that
any should perish ! But remember your perishing could be based
upon your choices. You could choose to believe and receive God’s word /
his Son, Yahshua Messiah (a.k.a. Jesus the Christ) and have a personal
relationship with Him, or you can hold-fast to the perishing religions
and traditions of men.
Here’s what the scriptures says about it.
John3:16.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
This word PERISH in the Greek is: apollumi, ap-ol'-loo-mee; which means to DESTROY.
There
is no need for any to PERISH / be DESTROYED any longer, simply choose;
make a decision / choice of which direction, pathway you’re going to
take.
Religion can be liken to man searching for a path / a way to God:
Prov.16:25. There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
To put an end to man’s futile search for the way back to his God,
here’s what Yahshua Messiah says:
John.14:6 . Yahshua saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Choose the right WAY !
