JEREMIAH – A LESSON FOR THE LAST DAYS’ SOUL WINNERS

What was written aforetime – Rom. 15:4; 1 Corinthians 10:11

THE MAN JEREMIAH Jer. 1:1-10; 17-19

v  Jeremiah a type of Christ served as both a Priest and a Prophet which was not common.

v  Jeremiah served for about 50 years to five Kings of Judah including: Josiah, Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah. He was 20-25 years old when he began to minister.

v  Jeremiah was called the “WEEPING PROPHET” because of the unrepentant sin of Judah and the coming destruction of Babylon. Jer. 9:1; 20:8-9

v  Jeremiah was sustained by the Lord’s reaffirmations of his commission (Jer. 7:2, 27-28, 11:2, 6; 13:12-13; 17:19-20)

v  Jeremiah had undying confidence in God and His promises (15:20; 20:12; 29:14; 32:1-15)

v  Jeremiah had tremendous knowledge of God (9:23-24; 22:15-16)

v  Jeremiah knew the Lord as:

Creator of all things (10:12-16; 51:15-19)

Omnipotent (32:27; 48:15; 51:57)

Omnipresent (23:24)

Omniscient (29:11)

Sovereign Deliverer (20:11; 32:17-25)

Lord of the Nations (5:15; 18:7-10; 25:17-28)

v  Jeremiah has been rightly called the most Christ-like of ALL the prophets. Jer. 16:1-2

v  When Jesus asked the disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. (Mt. 16:13-14).

LESSONS FROM JEREMIAH

God formed us to be what He wanted us to be in the womb; He knew ALL about us before we were conceived; God overrides ALL of our inadequacies and God equips us for every aspect of our ministry.

You must know God by yourself personally! You must know when God called as soul-winner!! You must know when God will call you to His heavenly home for your reward!!! Luke 13:32-33
