God speaks today Monday | August 12, 2024

Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. (Jeremiah 15:19)
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. (1 Corinthians 4:2)
Charles Spurgeon

Our word will not return empty

Jeremiah was hated for telling the truth, but he was accepted by God. He was commanded to remain faithful and carry out God's cleansing work. God gave him the honor of being His mouthpiece. Every preacher and believer should aspire to this. Pray for all servants of God to speak with power and awaken the sleeping. Source: The Bank of Faith Checkbook. Read more...

In Jeremiah 15:19 we read that God will restore those who turn to Him and are faithful in their service. Also in 1 Corinthians 4:2 we are reminded of the importance of being found faithful as stewards of the mysteries of God. May each one of us long to be like Jeremiah, a faithful servant who carries the word of God with courage and fidelity, knowing that "Our word will not return empty" (Isaiah 55:11). May the Lord help us to be His spokesmen and to feed many with His word! Hallelujah, amen! 🙏🏽
