Title: Jehovah Shows Vision (Jeremiah 33:1-3)
Content Apocalypse refers to the revelation or vision that God shows. People without a vision, because they do not have dreams and a future, behave arrogantly and eventually perish and eventually perish. If there is anything that matters most to us today, it is our vision.
People without a vision perish. However, people with a vision and a country with a vision will not perish but develop.
It means seeing what the vision is. What we see is not just looking at the present and here, but also looking at tomorrow and seeing the future. During the reign of King Seonjo, Yulgok insisted on creating an army of 100,000 in case the Japanese invaded, but no one listened to the tragedy of being invaded by Japan. had come If Yulgok had followed Yulgok's vision, the tragedy of the Imjin War might not have occurred. Hwaseung is a small company in Busan, but it is developing day by day with success by producing its own brand of bicycle shoes. Wherever we go, whatever we do, we must have a vision for our future in order to develop and live a successful life.
However, the text says that God is the One who shows the vision. Those who saw and spoke of the vision God showed are the prophets. When everyone else is indulging in complacency and debauchery, the prophets cry out that the northern peoples are getting stronger and we will perish if we are not sober. When a country collapses and millions of people bleed to death and cry bitterly and are taken captive to a distant country, when everyone else thinks that it is the end and there is no hope, then you are not a prophet. we come back exclaimed. In this way, the prophets were those who always saw the vision of the future that God showed them. The text promises that God will show us a vision.
Jeremiah - imprisoned in the courtyard of the protesters. Zedekiah did not repent. What a hopeless nation Unknowingly, Jeremiah let out sighs and sighs. When things get too bad, people lose their vision and don't even want to pray. Then God spoke.
1. No matter how desperate you are, do not lose heart and pray to God, who is in charge of history.
There are times when prayer does not come out. Jeremiah's situation.
In the midst of suffering on the cross of Jesus, we must pray at this time. Spurgeon said... "Pray hard when you want to pray, for that is when God calls you. Pray even when you don't want to pray. Because we have to pray.” When we find ourselves unable to pray because we are too strong, we must lift up our eyes and look to God. Some people do not even have the heart to pray when they receive calls from the bar late at night with harsh rebukes. The more you pray, the more you should pray.
God's self-revelation-"The Lord who does the work, the Lord who builds it and fulfills it"- He promises to answer prayers with his own character. The disposition of God is not that he is lukewarm and stops working, but that God is a workman and he must accomplish them. He was not the man who worked until 3 days when he created the universe. After it was completely built, it was very good to see Hanani.
hahaha He is not the one who promised to send his only begotten son and canceled it out of anger because of human wickedness about 2,000 years later. Human wickedness deserves to be judged immediately, but God is long-suffering and prepared to send his only begotten Son for thousands of years. We are the rulers of history. Alpha and Omega. So, pray before this God. It means to entrust your work to God. Then God will help you and make it happen.
The one whose name is Jehovah - He swears by his name. Names are very important.
Japanese people attach great importance to crests and business cards. The crest means the honor of the person who made the product and the company. Therefore, when making a product, you put your honor on it and display your personal or company's emblem on it. This is craftsmanship. You can read the credit rating just by looking at that sentence. However, Jehovah our God is not an unreliable name. He swore by his own name. In the text, God gave us the name of Jehovah and told us to pray. In John 14:13, Jesus said, "Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." John 16:24 "You have not asked in my name until now. But from now on, ask, and you will receive, so that your joy may be full.” He gave us the name of Esu as a promise to answer our prayers. If you ask by name, I promise that you will hear me.
So, let's not be discouraged by any situation. Come before God and come to know him by faith.
2. When we cry out to the Lord, He promises to answer.
"Call to me, and I will answer you." God hears, answers, and answers our prayers. Exodus 3: He heard the cry of the people of Israel because of their suffering in Egypt, and finally called Moses to be their savior.
Psalm 116:1, 2 "I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my supplication. He has inclined his ear to me, so I will pray all the days of my life." has been recorded George Mueller says that he experienced 50,000 specific prayer answers during his lifetime. All saints! When we ask in faith before God and ask in His word, we want you to believe that God will answer us.
3. I will show you great and mysterious things.
Jehovah will give you dreams and visions of your future today.
