I Will Search Out My Sheep... by Oluwasegun7(m): 6:20pm On Jun 29, 2018 |
Ezekiel 34: 11-12; 34:11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. 34:12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. The Church era was commissioned to further the kingdom and seal the salvation of predestined souls. Now that God is done with that era, a new strategy is, therefore, needed to outwit the enemy and conclude the kingdom plans. God, Himself, is at the forefront of this new move. No space will further be allowed for compromise or corruption because time is so short now and theBridegroom yearns to have His Bride! As it is written in Zechariah 13:7 “smite the sherpherd, and the sheep shall be scattered…”, the Shepherd left and the sheep scattered “in the cloudy and dark day” when there was no light to see their ways. But He will search them out. They are the “sheep of the other fold” (John 10:16) which He must also bring into the fold and, then, He will be the Shepherd of all! Candlelight through Jerusalem… Zephaniah 1:12; 1:12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil. The light of God shall arise to bring in these folks who have found grace and this shall happen at the same time with the punishment of those who seek comfort and riches and have forsaken God. Treasure Hid In A Field… Matthew 13:44; 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Jesus uttered some words in parables which He called the “mysteries of the kingdom” (Matthew 13:11) which means that the operations of the kingdom can be understood by decoding the parables. In verse 44, He compared the kingdom to a treasure hid in a field which a man finds and, then, sells all that He has to purchase that field. The “field” is the world (verse 38) and the “man” is the Son of man who gave up His heavenly glory to buy back the children of the kingdom who are the “treasure”. There is something we should pay attention to here. The treasure was “hid in a field” which means that a day would come for the revelation of the children of the kingdom. They are a treasure hidden from the enemy. They do not belong to the showy, religious folks who do their works in the open! They are hidden and only the Master knows and treasures them. He will not forget, also will He not wait until He has the whole treasure and then the field will be done away with! The Everlasting Gospel… Revelation 14: 6-8; 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. His judgement has come! It’s time to separate the Wheat from the Tares! The Tares will not understand the everlasting gospel but the Wheat shall hear it and shall join up with Him. Jesus said in Matthew 24:14, “The gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come”. The gospel of the kingdom is the everlasting gospel not the “gospel after man”(Galatians 1:11). For the Wheat, the gospel of the kingdom is for salvation, but for the Tares it is for a witness! |
