TOPIC: Restoration Of God’s People
READ: Micah 2:8-13
8 Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
9 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord on the head of them.
THE MESSAGE:
Micah revealed the deceitful prophets’ lies, exposing their inability to truly give rest. False prophets’ teachings are corrupted and bring absolute destruction rather than the peace, rest, and healing that God’s word provides. Though God’s people were promised judgment for their heavy wickedness, the goodness and mercy of God nevertheless, remained available to them when they truly repented (2 Chronicles 7:14-16). God assured the remnant of Israelites that they would be restored.
Oppression will not last forever; God is just and will not grow tired in saving His people because He is a loving Father. It is therefore essential to trust in His absolute power to save and restore. Prophets are on the rise and people would rather hear from the false prophets because they prophesy what they want to hear; they will therefore ignore the prophets of God because the truth is always bitter (Matthew 24:11). No matter how corrupt the world may look in this regard, there will always be a remnant to be restored to the original plan of God. May God find you worthy of His divine restorations in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
PRAYER: Lord, restore me, and I will be restored. Amen!
