Jeremiah – 7:23
“Obey my voice, & I will be your God & you will be my people.
And walk in all the ways that
I have commanded you”. And today voice,
Command of our Lord is that
Lord God hates intoxications.
Today all around us, we
see a net of many kind of intoxications like whisky, wine, smoking, drinking,
alcohol, smack, heroin etc. that have trapped most of the people, especially
young generation. From very childhood Satan starts his efforts to destroy every
life as we found in 1 Peter 5:8 ‘your adversary devil walks about like a
roaring lion, seeking whom he may destroy’. But the voice of Lord aware
everybody, ‘give your ear to the voice of Lord, do not be unwise but try to
understand the will of Lord God for you, do not be drunk with wine in which
there is dissipation, destruction’.
GOD has chosen you from
this world. You are very special for Him. Deuteronomy declares in chapter 7
verse 6, “You are Holy people to the Lord God, He has chosen you to be a
people for Him, a special treasure for Him”; that’s why you are now sitting in
His presence,
In Leviticus 10:9
Lord God Jehovah commanded & warned Aaron,
not to drink any wine or taking any intoxicating drink, (said neither
you nor your children) lest you die. And it shall be a statute forever
throughout your generations. So far as we are concerned today, we are always
before His eyes as Holy Scripture says in Isaiah 49:16 Lord God say,
“See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands. The Word say in Deuteronomy
14:1, John 1:12 & 2nd Corinthians 6:18 “You
are the children of the Lord your God Jehovah”.
Think, if HE do not allow intoxication to Aaron and his sons, how shall
He allow HIS children to use any intoxication?
Lord God Jehovah commanded Moses also in
Numbers 6:3, when anybody separates himself for me, He shall separate himself
from wine & similar drink. He shall neither drink vinegar made from wine,
nor vinegar made from similar drink.
So keep in mind that everybody
separate one-self when bow or kneel down or pray before Lord God or has got
baptized. So do not be conformed to this world (Roman 12:2),
Because you are chosen one to God. Don’t be in
resemblance or likeness to this world.
About you Lord God say in Leviticus 19:2, 20:7, Mathews 5:48 & 1st
Peter 1:15-16 “Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel and say
to them, you shall be Holy, for I the Lord your God, I am Holy”.
Romans 8:14 guides that
children of God are to be led by the spirit of God. God sent His Angel to give
His message to Zachariah that I am blessing you with a child; he will walk in
the spirit, … “But the angel said to him, do not be afraid Zachariah, for your
prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall
call his name John. For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall
drink neither wine, nor strong drink and he will be filled with Holy Spirit,
even from his mother’s womb (Luke 1:13,15).
John 4:23- ‘But the
hour is coming & now is when the true worshipper will worship the Father in
the spirit & truth for the father is seeking such people to worship
Him’.
Lord God desire
holiness from His people. Lord says intoxications are not made for His
children, His people. Intoxications are for whom? It is very clearly written.
Psalms 75:8- For in the
hand of the Lord there is a cup and the wine is red; it is fully mixed & He
pours it out: surely its dregs shall all the wicked of the earth drain &
drink down.
In Isaiah 22:12, 13-
Lord warned people to be aware about life, but people say, let us eat &
drink wine & enjoy, for to tomorrow we die. People don’t think of life. But
God promises and show a life, that is said eternal life. Isaiah 65:17 for
behold, I create new heaven and a new earth; and the formal shall not be
remembered or come to mind. Revelation 21:1-5 for the first heaven and the
first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the
Holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as bride
adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘behold,
the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be
His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe
away every tear from their eyes, there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor
crying. There shall be no more pain; the former things have passed away. Then
He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.
About this earth and heaven as in
2nd Peter 3:5,6,10,12 it is narrated that by the word of the God
earth standing out of water and in the water, and by which the world that then
existed, perished being flooded with water. But the heavens & earth which
now exist are kept in store by the same word reserved for fire until the day of
the judgment). (Now a days many people like prophets, wise men, 2nd such prophesies.
After finishing tour on earth,
everybody has to leave this world and to return to the place from where we
came. There are only two places in that land. One place is described in Matthew
25:34 for you & me. It says, ‘inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the word’ (as in new earth). Holy Scripture tells in 1st
Corinthians 6:10 & Galatians 5:21, “…..nor drunkard ….. will inherit the
kingdom of God”. So intoxications are a hindrance in our way to heaven. (Nobody
want to go to 2nd place i.e. hell).
Ephesians 5:18 and do not be drunk with
wine, in which is dissipation,
destruction. In the whole world, in every country people make religious
places to worship their God. And everyone try his best to maintain its
holiness. In many countries people never allow shops & business of
intoxications. They don’t allow at any cost because they know that
intoxications are always causes of evils by one way or the others. This thinking is evidence that men know hidden
truth of intoxications hidden behind them.
Think over it carefully &
deeply please. We do our best to maintain & keep our handmade temples i.e.
religious places, how more important it should be for us to keep ourselves Holy
(i.e. Lord our God’s temple).
1st
Corinthians 3:16, 2nd Corinthians 6:16 say Lord God made us His
temple. Is it justice to pour in intoxications in His temple i.e. our bodies?
Jeremiah 35:1, 2, 5-8, 16, 17- Lord God
Jehovah spoke to the prophet Jeremiah, “Go to the house of Rechabites &
bring them and serve them wine”. Jeremiah obeyed God and called them and gave
them cups full of wine & said them to drink. What they did? Did they drink?
Let us see. Jeremiah 35:6 “we will drink no wine; because our ancestor Jonadab
commanded us, saying ‘you shall drink no wine, nor you nor your son, forever”.
Lord God Jehovah says, their father taught them my commandments, they obeyed
them. Why don’t you learn my commandments & obey them? (Jere.35:13, 14, 16,
17).
What
the intoxications give to people? Snatches joy of life, Give disturbance in
every sphere of life, gives even death. But in Ezekiel 33:11 Lord says, “I have
no pleasure in the death of (even) wicked, but that the wicked turn from his
ways and live. Turn from your ways. Lord wants to give His people a long age,
Isaiah 65:22 for as the days of a tree so shall be the days of my people; and
my elect shall live & enjoy for a long. For this purpose John 3:16 says
‘Jehovah sent His Only begotten son to give you everlasting life (in new earth
Rev.21:1-4).
Proverbs 23:31,32 ‘Do
not look on the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it
swirls around smoothly; At last it bites like a serpent and stings like a
viper. And do not give time to be saved. – Amen.
