This is part of a series of books in which particular verses are picked from books of the bible, and the issues of Purpose, Pursuit and Motivation are explored, in the light of the mind of God for us.
In this book, we explore six topics, from different verses in the books of Joel, Micah and Zechariah. They are: The positives about an evil army; Time; A preferred spiritual reality; What God requires of you; Walking in God’s ways, keeping His charge and spiritual service; and Roles of shepherds.
Excerpts:
The positives about an evil army
“Wherever you are, or wherever God takes you, as his instrument of warfare (Jeremiah 51:20), everything would be about his word, speaking it and living it. Nothing cuts through the ranks of the enemy like that.”
Time
“Whatever turn Elijah made Elisha followed. Elisha’s business was to just to follow and eventually Elijah’s chariots of fire took him to heaven in an upward turn, and it was Elisha turn to walk in Elijah’s anointing, the double portion of it.”
A preferred spiritual reality
“You need courage to stand for Christ and speak forth his truth without fear or favour as a minister of the word.”
What God requires of you
“The general verdict on humanity is that everybody does his own things (Psalm 14:1-3), but what God requires of you is to walk humbly with him.”
Walking in God’s ways, keeping His charge and spiritual service
“From the focus verse, the promise to Joshua the High Priest was that he would judge God’s house. But we see that promise come into full force not in the Joshua the High Priest at that time in Israel but in Jesus Christ, the ultimate high priest. He is the one appointed judge of both the living and the dead (2Timothy 4:1).”
Roles of shepherds
“When greater attention is given to the sheep that has some fat, due to financial buoyancy, it is wrong (they are being fed upon), it is predatory shepherding. But the shepherd with little or no sense called foolish will feed on the fat ones.”
