‘Greedy And Lonely
People.’
Isaiah 5:8-10.
a)

unhappy.

Isaiah 5:8; Micah 2:2. They are greedy
building houses and acquiring land.

houses shall be desolate, without inhabitant.
e)

shall be virtually fruitless.
(This QT teaches me what
happens to Greedy And Lonely People)
‘When God Acts On Behalf
Of His People.’
Isaiah 34:13.
a)
Thorns grow over their enemy’s strongholds.
b)
Nettles and thistles grow in its fortresses.
c)
Their fortresses become the haunt of jackals.

ostriches.

Inhabitation is a very important part of extending the Kingdom
of God. A local Church, serving local people, can do much to facilitate
Ministry that extends God’s Kingdom. When Churches become very big, if they are
not careful, they cease to be a local Church and although they have really good
programmes, they do little to extend the Kingdom of God in their immediate
locality. If the Church grows like that, it is good that members can come and
dwell nearby the Church. When this happens the Kingdom of God is extended by
inhabitation.
