ANGLICAN DAILY FOUNTAIN DEVOTIONAL FOR 4 APRIL 2022 (PRESERVED FOR A PURPOSE)
TOPIC: PRESERVED FOR A PURPOSE
TEXT: Jeremiah 11:18-28
STUDY
In the days of prophet Jeremiah, like in our days, there were false prophets and soothsayers who, under the guise of prophetic ministry, spoke primarily for their own interests. And worse still, because of the financial and material rewards those ‘prophets’ had, they became popular.
Also, any other who spoke a different thing faced serious persecution and even the threat of death. That was the situation Jeremiah found himself in. They planned to kill him because he spoke the truth, and never commercialised his prophetic ministry. However, God frustrated their plans and preserved Jeremiah so that he would continue to be God’s mouthpiece.
There are dangers God has delivered you from. You must realise that there is a divine reason for God’s deliverance: So that you may continue to be His representative on earth! As long as you are committed to divine purpose for your life, God will continue to preserve you for His own glory.
Prayer: Lord, please preserve me to serve you better, Amen.
