'They Burdened The Lord.'
Isaiah 43:22-24.

3-Grain Offerings.
4-Incense.
5-Sweet cane.
6-Money.
7-Fat.
c) Isaiah 43:24. They burdened the Lord with their sins and wearied Him with their iniquities.

'Strongly Desiring A Fruitful Ministry.'
Colossians 1:29.
a) Apostle Paul laboured to present every True Believer to be perfect in Christ.
b) He strove to do this.
c) He said that it was God Who was working in Him mightily.
(Through this Second one I am also Strongly Desiring A Fruitful Ministry)

Chris.
How deceived the Lord's People had become! They were tired of Him. The first bad fruit of this tiredness were neglect of Prayer and neglect of Worship. Eventually they became a burden to Him. I Pray that by His Grace and Strength that I would never be a burden to the Lord.
