TEXT: JEREMIAH 6:1-19
TOPIC: IMPENDING JUDGEMENT OVER A REBELLIOUS NATION
Even though Jerusalem was doomed for judgement, God warned the people of Benjamin to flee for safety because He is a God of justice. They fled and lived in the kinds of places we refer today as Internally Displaced Peoples (IDP) camps.
But for the grace Nigeria is still enjoying, many more citizens would have fled the country due to terrorists’ and bandits’ attacks, poverty, religious persecution, etc. Jerusalem was full of oppression, wickedness, violence, destruction and arrant disregard for God’s warning.
Sadly, none was exempted from the corruption that pervaded the land, including the prophets and the priests. No wonder, judgement was inevitable. We must heed God’s warning so as to escape our own impending judgement.
QUESTION:
How can our own country escape the kind of disaster that was hanging over Jerusalem?
PRAYER:
Grant me the grace, dear Lord, to dare to stand apart from the corruption and rebelliousness that pervade our land, in Jesus name. Amen.
