Text: Jeremiah 49:1-39
Like the Moabites, the Ammonites also descended from an incestuous relationship between Lot and one of his daughters (Gen.19:30-38). Their condemnation stemmed from stealing land from the people of God and for worshiping the Idol Molech whose worship involved child sacrifice. These are two main problems we are facing today in our land. Stealing of other people’s land (especially the poor) and idol worship. Unfortunately many who profess that they are followers of Christ are also involved in stealing and idol worship. At times idol worship can come in a subtle way. So as a Christian you need to watch and pray!
Meditate on verse 1. How are you going to respond to it?
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray for people who have grabbed other peoples lands and who worship idols to repent. Amen.
