When We Are Led Out By The Lord!

‘When We Are Led Out By The Lord.’
Jeremiah 29:4-10.
a) Jeremiah 29:4. We should keep paying heed to what the Lord says, especially if we are reluctant family members. Going into captivity in the Will of God is not necessarily a bad thing.
b) Jeremiah 29:5-6. Settle well in the place that the Lord has sent us to. Drop the “where next” mentality.
c) Jeremiah 29:7. For the place that the Lord has taken us to:-
1- Work for its peace.
2- Seek for its peace.
3- Pray for it.
d) Jeremiah 29:8-9. Do not be tricked by false prophets. God allows them sometimes so that He tests our obedience to Him and to His Calling.
e) Jeremiah 29:10. God always fulfils His Will in His Perfect Time.

a) Ezra 7:6. Ezra:-
1- Was equipped by the Word of God.
2- Was given permission to go back.

(Through this Second one I can find a very meaningful journey: Ezra Went Back To Jerusalem)

We can see today the need to be serving together with others in Mission. This may mean going with a team or going to a team. It may mean going to a place where the missionary is covered by the local Church. People who go off “unattached” are both dangerous and in danger.
