We have been treating ourselves with the Humble Mind
of God in connection with attitudes of stubborness or obstinacy in the life of man which always lead man into destruction
like unto Pharaoh of old in Egypt. Every morning, I have discovered that the LORD will always quicken me with His Word for
His people. The Word has become like fire in my bones like Jeremiah and the only way I can get this across to His people is
through the pulpit and this medium. Prophet Jeremiah said in Jer. 25:3-5 "From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of
Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and
I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened. And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants
the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. They said, Turn ye
again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto
you and to your fathers for ever and ever:" In this age of ignorance and rebellion that we are, nobody is willing to
hearken or obey the Word of God. Everybody is in a hurry to do his or her own things. "Who is God?" is the question they will
always ask. Nobody is inclining his or her ear to what God has in stock for them. When you ask our people this day to turn
from their wicked ways (II Chronicles 7:14) and from the evil of their doings so that they may dwell in this world in peace,
they take you as liar and false in every aspect of your message. Who will now speak to them. The angel cannot convince the
mind of our people to accept the truth because of the nature of this current age we are. This is rather unfortunate. But my
appeal is that you better turn your ears and incline to the Word of Love from the Humble Mind of God and live rather that
to do your own things your own way and die like Pharaoh.
The LORD Jesus Christ has come to manifest His Father in the
flesh (John 1:14) with a Name that is above every other names (Philippians 2:9). What is required of us is to obey the LORD
Jesus Christ, the Word come in the flesh. If we obey the Son, we have obeyed the Father, the Living God of Yis-raw-ale. No
one can see the Father except through the Son (John 14:6). Obedience is better than sacrifice and to hearken than the fat
of ram is what the Word of God says. When man obeys the Commandments of God, he would be led to fulfil the law and there will
be no reason for unreasonable sacrifices. For as many as are led by the Spirit of the LORD, they are the sons of God is what
Paul the Apostle said in Romans 8:14. Let us aspire to live rather than to die by being subjected to the voice of the LORD
and doing His Will. If we would turn from our evil ways and bow down ourselves to do God's Master Plan and Purposive Will,
He also will repent Himself of the evil He has proposed to pour upon us because He is a Just Judge. Who will give man a listening
ear and contrite heart this day so that man may obey the commandments of God? The LORD Jesus Christ has come and beconned
unto us to come unto Him with our heavy laden in exchange for eternal rest but alas, who will convince us? Nobody wants to
believe God or believe His Prophets this day because our world has been contaminated by false Prophets who are paving ways
for the Antichrist. But through the fruits of these prophets we shall know them. Let the Spirit of the LORD direct us to who
is a Man of God or prophet of the Devil. Listen to what Jeremiah said again here, "If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I
purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings. And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye will
not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you, To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom
I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;" - Jeremiah 26:2-5. People are rising
early in the morning crying to make the Name of the LORD known to His people but who is listening? Who is hearkening? Who
is obeying? If people are listening and obeying the Word of God, this world would have been turned around for better. Instead,
many little children are visiting cybercafes to watch pornography and ludeness of women and men having sex. Destruction is
on the way of these young ones who are not ready to realize the implications of what they are doing. Send them away with the
Word of God and they will leave to another cybercafe. God will, one day, bounce on each one to bless him with His judgemental
side of His Love.
If
the children of Jonadab the son of Rechab could hearken to the words of their father and restrain themselves from drinking
wine, how much more are we required to hearken to the commandments of our Heavenly Father to do His Will but unfortunately
since God is not appearing to us physically, we do not reckon with whatsoever His Men are telling us to do, even with reference
to His Humble Mind. These children of Jonadab were so obedient and faithful to their father's words that they could not go
beyond what he said or instructed them not to do. How many times have we instructed our own children not to do something and
they obeyed our voices? They are obedient on the basis of extrinsic motivation and not intrinsic motivation. Everyone has
been given volition right from the time of Adam Male and Adam Female to choose what he wills and the result has always been
death inherited from the first man. In spite of our daily preaching and teaching of the Crucified and Living Christ to this
dying world, only few would hear and obey. The world is getting worse on daily basis because of Pharaohic induration nature
of man. Jeremiah is a powerful man of God who preached the Mind of God but man would not align his mind with God's. Some ignorant
men of God would say that he was not a successful leader. He would not force anyone unto obedience. Whatsoever man soweth,
he will ultimately reap. He said in Jeremiah 35:13-16, "Thus
saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive
instruction to hearken to my words? saith the LORD. The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not
to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have
spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me. I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets,
rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after
other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined
your ear, nor hearkened unto me. Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father,
which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened unto me:" Because the people of the world are not performing
the commandment of our Heavenly Father, God has decided not to perform His own promises in the lives of the disobedient ones.
Just obedience is what God demands from us as far as His Mind is concerned. He is not going to enforce Himself on us but we
just have to live up to His own Standard and Principles to live.
We want to believe that the LORD, by His Special Grace, has blessed you
through these messages and would request that you contact us for more from the Humble Mind of God if you are hungry for Him.
May the LORD continue to feed you as you go on for Him all the days of your life in Jesus' Name, Amen.
