TODAY’S TOPIC: Future of the Greed
Text: Jeremiah 6:12-15 (AMP Bible)
“Their houses shall be turned over to others, Their fields and their wives together; For I will stretch out My hand Against the inhabitants of the land,” says the Lord. “For from the least of them even to the greatest of them, Everyone is greedy for [unfair] gain; And from the prophet even to the priest Everyone deals deceitfully. “They have treated superficially the [bloody] broken wound of My people, Saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ When there is no peace. “Were they ashamed because they had committed disgusting and vile things? No, they were not at all ashamed; They did not even know how to blush [at their idolatry]. Therefore they will fall among those who fall; At the time that I punish them They will be overthrown,” says the Lord."
*SHOWER:*
The greed or selfish people are more concerned with themselves. The world has turned into such. Everyone is concerned or interested on what will directly enrich them to the detriment of others. Verse 13 says "For from the least of them even to the greatest of them, Everyone is greedy for [unfair] gain; And from the prophet even to the priest Everyone deals deceitfully." No wonder families are in ruin, communities are in crisis, our leaders are nothing to write home about, etc. What of the Church? From members to pastors, Bishops or name them, the centre is no longer holding. Do they have future? What is future of the greed? Yes, they have future. And it is destruction. They will fell and be punished accordingly. Verse 15 says it all. If you look around you will see it happening everywhere. Aren't you seeing it? Are you part of them? If not, congratulations...keeping pressing harder to attain the heavenly prize. If you are part of them, kindly refrain and be safe.
