Jeremiah 15: 6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.
7. And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people since they return not from their ways.
8. Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.
The above scriptures is instructive. The Lord God Almighty is fuming and vexing with humanity. Let us listen and give attention to what the Lord is saying:
In verse 6 above, it is an act of cowardice to depart from the faith into idolatry. This is betrayal. Revelation 21: says that the cowardly and unbelieving shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Now, let us the punishment to betrayers: in verse 7, the Lord says He will fan meaning to stir up the deaths of children. We have witnessed unprecedented number of young children dying and we are not bothered. It is not normal for parents to cast their young.
Verse 8 talks about increasing number of widows. Just take a look around your environment, you will notice young women as widows. The verse also talks about parents suddenly mourning deaths of their children. In addition, terrorism is becoming a daily occurrence from villages, towns, cities and nations. Terrorism is gradually becoming a monster in our society and peace is becoming elusive.
In the light of the above, to be free from pains and sorrow of life, reconcile with God today and it shall be well with you in Jesus name.
