They Will Fail
Text:
Jeremiah 1:14 – 19
When God calls us, He gives us
details about the intricacies and all that is involved in the call. He tells us
what we will benefit and what we will suffer in the process. When God called me
into the fulltime ministry, He used Isaiah 43:1 – 10. It has manifested in my
life. So He tells us beforehand what we will face in this ministry before they even start manifesting.
This chapter is on the call of
Jeremiah with assurance in 1:8. He clearly told him that they will surely fight
against him but can’t prevail because God was determined to defend and support
him against all his enemies. We know all that Jeremiah suffered; how he was
jailed, thrown into a pit and many other things that he suffered. However,
in all those trials, persecutions and attack, God saw him through.
Every Christian has a call; a call to
live righteously, resist the devil, overcome the world so as to receive a
reward at the end. Jesus made it abundantly clear in the bible that in this
world we will suffer for His sake. Nevertheless, we should be of good cheers
because he has secured our victory (Jn. 16:33). As long as we are in this
world, tribulations, trials, temptations will come. They will fight against you
but they will not prevail. God will defend you. Are you afraid and has become
discouraged? Look up unto God and be focused. God is by your side to fight for
you. Just hold your peace.
