TOPIC: DON'T GO, BUT COME BACK.
TEXT: HOSEA 2V6-7.
Hosea great prophet of God was the prophet God used to dramatize and illustrate his dept of love for isreal.
God used him to demonstrate so as for him as a prophet to know and feel the pain and disappointments Israelites are giving him.
CHAPTER 1 OF HOSEA.
God asked Hosea to take a pr******te for a wife, and hosea went for one of the pr******tes named Gomer, got married to her after three children Gomer hosea wife went back to the world of immortality committing adultry with her worldly lover's.
Hosea will range and provoked threatening to kill or never to have anything to do with her. God will tell hosea you will do no such thing go and bring her back home, and say this is how I'm been treated by the people I called my children and gave my life for them.
Hmm, how long will you continue to disappoint God? Make him happy and he will bless you.
VERSE 6
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
VERSE 7
And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
This is the attitude and lifestyle of many Christians, workers, ministers, pastors, prophets and prophetess, harloting from one church to another, one sin to another, been unfaithful, untruthful, defiling the temple of the living God, serving God with their lips but their heart far from him.
Selling out their human and spiritual dignity, living in immorality, adulterous, fornication, worldliness, drunkenness, carnal in their christianity, sluggish and lazy in their worship and services to God.
Running from spiritual responsibilities, moving without vision, mission, direction, purpose and focus, exuse giver, refusing kingdom responsibilities , stubborn and hardened to the voice and messages of God.
Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of truth. 2 Timothy 3v7. ARE YOU AMONG THIS SET OF CHRISTAINS? SEARCH YOURSELF NOW.
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Revelation:2:4
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Revelation:3:16
But then she say, I will arise and go back to my first husband.
Genesis 35v2-4.
Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
Put away the strange gods that are among you, put away immorality in your heart, worldliness, carnality, lukwarmness and be clean , put on a new garment:
* This is because when a man's life pleases the Lord, he makes his enemies to be at peace with him.*
Let us arise and go up to Bethel, a place of encounter, where i met the Lord, where isaac can be sacrificed without second thought. a place of consecration, commitment, sincerity, truthfulness, faithfulness, where righteousness and holiness is our nature culture.
Where the body is dead to sin, alive unto God. where brotherly love is the priority of everyone, where there is no complain, gossip and fault finding, where our christianity and spirituality is of no doubt.
Where there is no pretence, politics and mechanism in the things and services of God. Where there is passion for spirituality.
Where excellent worship is the pursuit and target of everyone, where our hearts clave for the presence and things of God, where our cry and desire is to see Jesus, where heaven is our goal!
For we have left God, substitute him for our business and work, forsake, neglect and despise the vision he committed into our hands, a
