A Word from Papa “J”
If you are willing; The Word of God leads a person beyond self-righteousness. God will replace this wickedness with the Joy of the LORD, or just continue to ignore Him and your wicked way will snuff out any Light you may have and all hope of eternity will dissipate like an empty cloud. Proverbs 13:9
Good Morning
Malachi wrote his prophecy around 400BC, today we are about 2,400 years removed from that oracle of his to Israel. What is an oracle Jesse? The dictionary in front of me, The Merriam-Webster defines the word as a divinely inspired message. We do not have divinely inspired messages today from God, so not believe what you hear from people who claim that they are prophets, seers and other such falsifiers of biblical Truth as The Truth is in Jesus. John 14:6.
With that said and getting back to Malachi. God loves His Church as much as He loves Israel. For nearly two thousand years He has nourished us with solid men of God who have used sound Biblical principles to interpret the Divinely inspired messages of the Holy Bible. But in these later days we are seeing men and women in the pulpits all across the nation who do not TEACH biblical Truth.
In 2 Timothy 4:1-22 the apostle Paul makes it clear to Timothy and to every man whom God has ordained to be a minister of the oracles of God to preach the WORD, to be ready at all times and seasons to preach the WORD, to be convincing, to be rebuking and to be exhorting with endurance. For the time will come when people will not endure the longsuffering of a faithful minister of the Living Word of God; that time the apostle Paul was speaking of was on the horizon then and is in our face today.
Today the “called out ones” the church is no different than the “called out ones” Israel of Malachi’s day. Loved of God, yes! But we like Israel have polluted our offerings; Malachi 1:6-14. We have corrupt communicators of the Word of God because we have not taken to heart the messages of God, Malachi 2:1-9
Churches today are full of infidelity and treachery, with only a remnant of the Spirit of Christ visible. We divorce ourselves from wives and family and from God and say that God is pleased with us. We have the gall to say that our evil is good in the sight of God and that He delights to pour out grace and mercy on us. No! The justice of God awaits the coming messenger. Malachi 2:10-17 and Malachi 3:1-7 that all such churchy nonsense will be judged. The King is coming again and soon.
We rob God in many ways and not just with our resources, our self-indulgent ways have stolen the nation from Him as well; the United States of America today robs God through the lust of eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life. Then we go to church and like the harlot we wipe our mouth and say we done nothing wrong. Now there is scripture to back everything I have said.
Our current spiritual state is like that of 1 John 2:12-24 and Proverbs 30:20. It is time for me to move on, but first; take a look at Malachi 4:1-6 there is approaching a Great Day of God. He is coming again, not as a suffering Savior, but a conquering warrior. He will trample those who have trampled His love for His church, and if you be one of them it will be a dreadful day for you, but a glorious day for His remnant. Even so come LORD Jesus. Revelation 22:20-21.
