WHY GOD CASTS ONE OFF.

Read Psalms 44:1-26

MEMORISE: You sell Your people for next to nothing.  And are not enriched by selling them (Psalms 44:12)

EXPOSITION

There is no doubt that God had been in love with the nation of Isreal right from the beginning. He made them a foretaste of the love He has for the whole world (John 3:16). It is quite unfortunate though,  that the people shown this uncommon love failed to justify God’s love on them!. This, they did through serial disobediences, disregards and non- challant attitudes to God’s ordinances.

This made God to be angry with them. Through, His love for them was intact, yet He punished them (Amos 3:2). God has no favorite He cannot chastise! In fact, being God’s favorite’ makes Him not to spare you   because He does not like you to be discarded immediately, and ultimately (Heb. 12:5-10)

Departing from God’s Way does not no one any good. Rather, it is invitation of God’s other side!  One side of God’s  greatness is of His mercy, grace and favour. His other side is terror, calamity and untold hardship. God knows how to cast His erring one off and He equally knows how to show him mercy, provided he repents. So dear friend, if you don’t repent from evil and wicked ways, God will not repent from unleashing the consequence of your act on you in due time! God is both good and severe Rom. 11:22.

God does not just cast you off, He also provides platform for you to return to Him. He is not delighted that you become estranged with Him. Return, repent and be revived now. Cease from straying away before He discards you. May this not be your lot.(Amen).

PRAYER POINTS:

1. Lord, do not cast us off.

2. Lord, help us to do Your will, so that we continue to enjoy Your favours/mercy.

3. Lord, please always correct Your children in love but do not cast us off.
