In speaking from the food for thought which was posted on Grace M Church Facebook page on the 24th day of the 8th month of the 2017th year which helped us to understand that signs, times, days, months, years and seasons are on the outside of the garden located in the firmament called heaven. By these seasons, days and times being in the lower realm called earth in which our bodies dwell at this very moment, there are yet still set appointments in the which, they are there for our help or for some destruction, Selah!!! As it was for the certain rich man in verses 16-19 of the 12th chapter of the book of Luke, and for the certain rich man in verses 1-9 of the 16th chapter of the book of Luke with the faithful steward of a certain rich man; and certain rich ruler in verses 18-23 of the 18th chapter of the book of Luke in which all of these scriptures were speaking of inheritance. For the 15th verse of the 12th chapter of the book of Luke informs us: Take heed and beware of covetousness “which is extortion, greediness and a defrauder” for a man’s life consisted “or profits” not in the abundance of the things which he possesses. For after having those many things for years, God being the supreme Divinity could show up in a night season and demand back your soul, then whose shall all those things be which you have wasted your life trying to accumulate? Now let’s focus in on some of God’s ways of delivering us, and His ways does not always seem right in our eyes, or in the eyes of other people; for example in the 2nd verse of the 38th chapter of the book of Jeremiah God spoke through Jeremiah the prophet and the words in which Jeremiah spoke and said thus said the LORD God: he that remains in this city of Jerusalem shall die by the sword of the Babylonians, or by the famine from your long waiting period of resistance, and by the pestilence from all of the dead bodies which have died from the battle and the famine. But the person that surrenders, or goes out from the temporary protective walls of Jerusalem “which means: “God was telling His people who were under the leadership of King Zedekiah to surrender themselves to the Chaldeans” and by doing so, that person or people shall have his life for a prey, but he shall live “that’s after making themselves willing prey of war; even as were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah in the book of Daniel and God was with these boys mightily while they were captives in Babylon of the Chaldeans. This troubled King Zedekiah so much that he came to speak with Jeremiah in verses 14-21 of the same 38th chapter of the book of Jeremiah” that’s after having Jeremiah the man of God drawn out of the dungeon with rags of sorrow “as is mentioned in the 13th verse of the 38th chapter of the book of Jeremiah.” In King Zedekiah and Jeremiah the prophet of God private session which took place in the third entry that is in the house of the LORD “as is pointed out in the 14th verse of the 38th chapter of the book of Jeremiah” and here are the words in which Jeremiah declared unto the king. Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah the king of Jerusalem, if I declare what does said the LORD unto thee, thou will surely put me to death? And if I give thee counsel, will thou not hearken unto me? Thus said Y@hovah-Elohiym-tsbadah which is the LORD, the God of hosts, even the Elohiym of armies and these armies are for the defending of Israel. Yet, the LORD God of hosts is telling His people to surrender, and the Jews have a strong problem in believing that this is the Word of the LORD, for Israel’s God does not surrender!!! That’s true, God wasn’t surrendering, He was ordering His people too, Selah!!! And if they follow the Word of God coming through the man of God, Jeremiah, in which the Jews being God’s people, they hated Jeremiah’s words he spoke. But Jeremiah’s word would cause the people of God, their souls to live, and Jerusalem not to be destroyed and burned with fire: a matter of fact, the king and his people, if they willfully surrender, they would live and remain in their land and in their same houses, as speaks the 17th verse of the 38 chapter of the book of Jeremiah. Here comes the warning: but if thou king Zedekiah and your people refuse to go forth and surrender to the king of Babylon generals, then shall this city Jerusalem be given “by the LORD God of hosts” into the hand of the Chaldeans and they shall burn it with fire and thou shall not escape out of their hands. But Zedekiah, as most leaders of God’s people, they are more afraid of God’s people rejecting them or voting them out of position; as is mentioned in the 19th verse of the 38th chapter of the book of Jeremiah in these words: Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah the man of God, I am afraid of the Jew “or his congregation” that are fallen to the Chaldeans or surrender already to the Chaldeans, for Zedekiah felt as if the Chaldeans would turn him over into the hands of his own people in whom he had mistreated in time past, and they would abuse him. God’s word of consolation comes unto Zedekiah the king through the mouth of Jeremiah the prophet and he said: they shall not deliver you into the hands of your own people in whom you mistreated in time past, just obey, I beg thee, the voice of the Lord, in which I Jeremiah speak unto thee oh king: so it shall be well unto thee and thy soul shall live. After the conversation with Jeremiah, Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, let none of the Jews my people know of these words in which you have declared of the LORD unto me. All Jerusalem and their king had to do was surrender, but surrendering unto their archenemy did not look as if God was in the midst of that. News flash, just as dying a disgraceful naked, torn flesh death on the cross of Calvary did not seem as a God move of deliverance; the only way you know that it was, you’re on this side of the cross looking back, but if you were there at the time, it would have seemed as a defeat to you too; if it temporarily defeated water walking Simon Peter; so confused was Simon Peter that he went back to see if he could get his job back as CEO of his own fishing company as is seen in the 3rd verse of the 21st chapter of the book of John; and he did that, and the rest of the disciples said, we also go with thee; which means he took nine new employees with him. Fear of the people brought death upon Zedekiah’s sons as can be read in the 6th verse of the 39th chapter of the book of Jeremiah: and in the 7th verse of the 39th chapter of the book of Jeremiah they put out Zedekiah the king of Jerusalem’s eyes and carried him bound unto Babylon still; when he could have had his eyes and still abiding in his own palace. This was the condition in which the certain rich man was in “him being a symbolic picture of Zedekiah” his deliverance was helping a certain beggar named Lazarus. We reiterate, people of God; God is trying and has been trying to warn His people, that He has winked at their ignorance long enough. What God is doing, is like He did in time past; He’ll turn you over to the enemy, Selah!!! Believe it or not, it’s your eyes. Here is where we will stop for the moment, for enough has been said to make you go hmm; we will speak with you on the first day of the week, that’s if the LORD God permits. Remember this; we of the leadership team of Grace Message Church do love you, even if you do not love us, sayonara!!!
