Revelation of the Word:

THEME: WEAPONS OF WAR

Jeremiah 21:4

“Thus says the LORD God of Israel: “Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans who besiege you outside the walls; and I will assemble them in the midst of this city.”

INSIGHT

-Zedekiah king of Judah was defeated in a conquest by the Babylonian troops and some Israelites were taken into captivity. The Israelites suffered and labored with no pay. They toiled during the day and lay down at night in chains. They were fed like prisoners and their hope was lost. The Babylon and Egyptian captivities are prototypes of how the devil oppresses people today. In Jeremiah chapter 29 the Lord delivers a message of hope through prophet Jeremiah, revealing the good plans He has for His people. Plans to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future. There are so many people who have lost hope in life. Some go through difficult times and cry daily. Many have lost their jobs and loved ones. Some are suffering from deadly illnesses, painful heartbreaks, rejection, hurt, depression and many other forms of disillusionment. It is through such experiences that people loose hope and view life as meaningless. These are the temptations that confront us as we journey through life. Temptations will come but we are called to look to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. The devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking the one to devour, and we are called to be alert and sober minded. We see that when the devil had finished tempting Jesus, he left him until an opportune time (Luke 4:13). He sorts for an opportune time to kill, steal and destroy, but he defeated through the finished work of Christ on the cross. Even if temptations come, God is always faithful to us. He will never let us to be tempted beyond what we can bear. He always provides a way out so that we can endure. He will never leave us nor forsake us. We are called to have strong and unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, which is very powerful weapon of war that can never fail. If we believe in Jesus Christ, we have the gift of eternal life.
