For they are impudent and stubborn...!

Ezekiel 2:3-8 NKJV

And He said to me: “Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day. For they  are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God .’ As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that a prophet has been among them. “And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house. You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious. But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you.”

† Shalom †......! Day #343. Do you know that God is sending you to a rebellious generation where they will not receive the Word of God, word of correction and rebuke, yet at the same time they ridiculed the works of God through you? Let's pray. Father, give us courage to stand strong and to stand firm in You as we serve You. We understand that the people will refuse Your word for they are rebellious, yet give us the boldness to speak it forth to them. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends,  there's a reason why God has chosen you to speak forth His words to this rebellious generation. Although they know the word of God, yet they do not take heed to it. They refuse to listen, they refuse to admit their wrongdoings yet they talk so much just to cover their wrongdoings. When you rebuke, correct,  or advice people they find it hard to take it but they are more than willing to give analytical reasons just to prove their actions aren't wrong. This are people who are filled with worldly wisdom and think that their ways are right. Have you encountered such cases before? Well, I have encountered such case many times, countless.

So how to deal with such a rebellious generation? And God says "And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house." If you see scorpions are animals that will kill its prey from back. There will be scorpions along your path way as you walk the purposes of God.... There will be  Scorpions that would backstab you and betray you, there will be briers and thorns that would poke you and harm you. How do overcome all this? Simple, PRAY AND BE FILLED WITH THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD...! When you are filled with the power the Holy Spirit,  you will be able to withstand any attacks of the devil. You will be able to continue to stand for the truth of His words. An encouraways ging  word from the Lord "do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house." Do not be afraid but proclaim it boldly. People may not like the ways you do things,  take courage,  the Lord Himself is with You!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
