1FAITHFUL PROPHET JEREMIAH 28:1-17 1)Thursday

Eventhough Hannaniah was a prophet he prophesy falsely without the fear of the god to

Israelites and leads them into the wrong path against the will of the god. The result is the death

of the prophet. Let us take this as a warning and fear our God and Lord. He is Lord God

Almighty .Let us obey His commands and be blessed spiritually and worldly.

DOING THE WILL OF GOD 29:1-14 2)Friday

If we go through the Bible we can read in many places that God is pleased when His will is done

on earth as it is done in the Heaven. Whenever Israelites do this they were blessed by God and

they live peacefully. Here we can read one more command for Israelites that is praying for the

city or town or kingdom so they can have peace.

God expects the same thing from us. Doing his will and pray for our country.

THE MERCY AND ZEAL OF GOD FOR HIS PEOPLE 30:1-24 3)Saturday

Whenever Israelites are persecuted by other God shows compassion and grieve for them. And

also he became zealous and punished and destroyed the people who persecuted His people.

children and live in peace and hope.

THE GOD WHO BUILDS 31:1-14 4)Sunday

Because of their sin the Jews were scattered . But the Almighty God gathered them all back

and build again and bless them with doublefold. (ves.12&13)

We may also be in a worst situation. We may think that our world is ended. But God is there for

us always . He is our refuge, our very present help in trouble and our fortress. He is ready to

bless us and turn our joy into sorrow.

REPENTENCE 31:15-22 5)Monday

The reason for the destruction of Israelites is their sin, their disobedience and their stiff neck.

Still when they ready realize their mistake and ready to repent for that god is there to bless

them. He came to the world and died on the cross to save us from the sin. So let us accept and

repent for our sins. (vs19&20)

THE NEW COVENANT 31:23-20 6)Tuesday


2/6

When Israelites repent god is ready to renew their heart and ready to make a new covenant

with them. He wants to renew their heart and makes it holy. This is the way to know our

more holiness and more and more free life from the sin.

THE GOD WHO FORETELLS OUR FUTURE 32:1-15 7)Wednesday

We can divide this portion into three parts

1724&27:------The mighty names and deeds of God

18-25 :-----The abominations of Israelites against God.

37-44 :-----The eternal covenant of Lord

The name of the Lord is a strong tower. So when we know more names of the Lord that

protects us , convict us of our sins and deliver us from all evil. And also it makes us the heirs of

the eternal covenant.

FORGIVENESS I SAMUEL 26:1-15 9)Friday

Even though Saul chase to kill David, when David got a chance to kill Saul not only he refuse to

do that but also David questioned Sauls guards for their carelessness . Fear of god and

forgiveness makes it possible for David to protect Saul. This is the message given to us by our

Lord Jesus Christ to forgive our enemies. May our Lord help us to follow the example of our

Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

THE FRUIT OF TRUTH 27:1-12 10)Saturday

According to Davids faithfulness God gave him mercy in the sight of Philistines king and also he

got a place called Siklok . When a mans ways are pleasing to god he makes even his enemies

his friend.

Saul did not do the will of god and got destroyed. He cut off all works of sorcery in Israel and

also destroyed all the sorcerers. But when refuses to answer him he seek them out and try to

know about his future. Instead of going to sorcerers if he had gone to God and asked for

forgiveness God would have forgiven him. Instead of God he chose men and lost his grace. Let

us take this as a lesson for our spiritual life.

TOTAL SUBMISSION 28:15-25 12)Monday

When God asks to do something he wants our full submission and obedience to fulfill his

mission and vision. If it is not so we may meet destruction like Saul. During this gracious period

let us obey God by doing his will.

but god protect him there by sending him back. Obey the god and taste his goodness.

MERCIFUL GOD 30:1-15 14)Friday

The situation was worst even Davids friends are in a stage to stone him. But he strengthened

himself in the god. In this situation what you will do? Turning to god or man? Even in this

situation he shows mercy to an Egyptian who belongs to enemy camp and got some

information and saved his people. Even in the worst situation are we ready to show mercy and

kindness to others. He showed mercy and got mercy from the merciful god.

A RIGHTEOUS LEADER 30:16-31 15)Saturday

David revealed his righteous character here. When the wicked and worthless people who went

with him said some unrighteous things about their brothers David convinced them and did the

right thing. And also make that a law. When a man show such a righteousness what about the

God.

servants Abraham and Isacc. He promised them to rebuild them. We are also chosen people of

THE FRUIT OF OBEDIENCE 35:1-19 18)Tuesday

God set the sons of Rechabites as an example to Israelites. When their father Jonadab son of

Rechabite commanded them neither to drink wine nor to plant vineyard and build house the

whole household obeyed that. Their obedience got them their reward. Their names were

written in the Bible. God gave them a promise that Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not lack a

man to stand before me

THE GOD WHO CALLS FOR REPENTENCE 36:1-20 19)Wednesday

Here we can see the desire of God that He wants His children to repent, to return and to lead a

holy life so that he can bless them. For this he is keep on sending his servants and prophets to

convict them. In our life also God interfere in many ways (Holy Bible, ministers and spiritual

books) so that we can lead a holy and blessed life.

THE FRUIT OF DISOBEDIENCE 36:21-32 20)Thursday

Eventhough God gave so many chances to the people and king of Judah the never like to repent

and turn away from their evil ways. So they were totally destroyed. Their lack of humbleness

and their fearlessness lead them to this. Let us not be like this. He who is often rebuked and

hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed.

PERSECUTIONS FOR GODS SERVANT 37:1-21 21)Friday

Persecutions and problems will be there for all the true servants of god. Paul says in his epistle

that when we think of following god itself brings us trouble. Jeremiah also suffered the samebut stood faithful to God even in the face of the death. Let us also lead a holy and faithful life

unto god to receive the crown of glory.

THE GOD WHO LIFT US UP FROM THE PIT OF MUD 38:1-13 22)Saturday

It seems that Jeremiah is deserted by God. But our gracious god graceful to him and Jeremiah

was lifted from the dungeon of mire. When we follow god or when we were faithful to him

god will bless us abundantly and there will be no trouble this is the wrong and deceptive

statement. We will face trouble but eventhough when we walk in the valley of shadow of death

we fear no evil because our God will be with us.

OBEYING THE WORD OF GOD 38:14-28 23)Sunday

When we obey the word of God, God will bless us spiritually along with this worldly blessings.

persecutions and troubles let us obey the word of god.

Ebed-Melech he is an Ethiopian but he trusted God and saved by him in the time of

destruction. The whole of the Israel city is destructed by Babylonians because they did not trust

and fear God and His words. But eventhough EbedMelech is a gentile he trusted and fear

God. God honoured his trust and fear and saved his life. Let us also trust Him and be protected

by Him.

GOODWILL 40:1-16 25)Sunday

Nebuzaradan the captain of the guards characters were shown here.

He believed God so he said that the punishment on Israelites were due to theirdisobedience to God.

He freed Jeremiah. He selected a good man for the remaining people as a leader . A man who knew the heart of the God. His selected leader also doing good to the

people. His plan is for the well being of the remaining people, so when the people who

scattered among the nations heard about that they were all returning to Israel. Is our

goodwill and gooddeeds reach the far end of the country or at least our surroundings?

BE WISE 41:1-18 26)Monday

DECEIVING HEART 42:1-22 27)Tuesday
