Zephaniah 2:3 Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgement; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord’s anger.
Today’s Bit sees the Prophet Zephaniah calling on all the people to seek God, get in His presence through humility and right thinking, so that when the Lord’s anger was unleashed they might be saved from it. He was warning them about the rising power of the Babylonians and their advertised intentions to conquer the surrounding nations. The same situation applies today, except, instead of a particular nation conquering us, it’s the worldly, Godless way of living that’s become so prevalent recently. It’s taking over our lives, and we’ve got to be constantly on guard against any further encroachment. Schools no longer teach about God. Churches are squabbling over the direction they should take, leading to a weakening of their role in the society, while families are falling apart through lack of proper values to give them a solid foundation. God is being taken out of our lives bit by bit, with some secular governments even wanting to legislate Him out completely. The faith based society our fathers founded is slowly being eroded, slowly been driven back by the onslaught of worldly pressures and inducements, and Friends, if we don’t do something to stop that erosion, we’ll soon become a Godless society. The forces of evil are aligned against us; its power hungry, unbelieving, selfish, greedy, money grubbing tentacles are ever spreading, trying to entrap us in its clutches with the false promises of wealth, high living and pretty things. But please beware people, it’s just a flimsy house of cards and mirrors that looks good on the outside, but is really devoid of any worthwhile substance. J.C said that he was coming back someday. He did not say exactly when, but He gave us some clues; like numerous wars and rumours of war, children having children etc. Those things are happening now, so who knows if Judgement Day is near? But J.C also warned us to be always prepared, for it can come at any time, and those who are found wanting will have a hefty price to pay. Friends, that’s the message for today. Let’s play it safe nuh; let’s seek the face of God; let’s be humble and live right, so that whenever that fateful day comes, when hellfire and brimstone are unleashed, we’ll be safely ensconced in His ever-loving, protective arms. Much LOVE!
