God can use you.

*Prophet Jeremiah*
* *
#.
Called – Means I have been summoned by God for a specific service~/ purpose
God has made a decision about the direction for my life.
Problem: He is not supposed to be a prophet he is supposed to be a priest because his father was a priest, his granddaddy was a priest and now he is breaking the tradition.
What do you do when everyone expects you be something else than what God has called you to be.
Some call Jeremiah the Reluctant Prophet because serving a prophet was much more demanding than serving as a priest.
*The Priests’ job was predictable: *
* You had the job description written out for you.
The instructions were the same everyday:
* sacrifices to offer
* unclean people and animals to exclude from the camp
* cleansed people to reinstate in the church,
* official ceremonies to observe,
* a sanctuary to care for
* a law to teach.
*The Prophet’s Job*
* You never knew from one day to the next what God call you to do
The priest were concerned about conserving the past traditions, the prophet goal was to change the present so the nation would have a future.
When the prophet the nation headed in the wrong direction his job was to call them back to God.
Priests dealt with the externals of dealing with outward appearances of thing clean and unclean while never touching the hearts, the prophet wanted to change the hearts.
Priests didn’t minister to crowds often but to individuals, but the prophet is being sent to the nations and usually the people didn’t want to hear their message.
Priests’ belonged to a special tribe and had authority and respect, but the Prophet came from any tribe and had to prove their call.
Priests were supported from the sacrifices and offerings of the people, but the prophet had no guaranteed income.
Jeremiah would have a much easier way to just be priest.
Offerings were one thing but preaching the word to hardhearted people was another story.
*The time that he preached was a time of rebellion*
Jeremiah had to tear down before he could build up.
He had to root up before he could plant.
Too many ministries are organizational structures that really don’t belong and should be torn down.
Some plants are taking up space and bearing no fruit.
Jesus said Matthew 15:13 “Every plant which my Father has not planted will be uprooted.”
Any servant of God who finds himself or herself too weak to serve needs to consider these questions: 1) Has God called?
The he will equip you.
2) Are you obeying the
commandments by faith?
He God will protect you.
3) Are you sharing the Word?
Then God will accomplish his purposes no matter what the people say.

*The Message that Jeremiah had to Preached was Dangerous*
Jeremiah did not always preach a feel good message.
The people called Jeremiah a traitor.
Jeremiah would be beaten, persecuted, arrested and more than one occasion his life was in danger.
We live and go to churches where we want to have entertainment
And preaching has been the best way to get good advice rather to get what thus saith the Lord.
God is will raise up some young Jeremiahs who will do what God tells them do.
*Jeremiah was Consecrated~/Anointed*
God sanctified him – God set him apart, made him completely devoted to God
God touches his lips- He puts the words of God on him.
In other words when I speak I am only to speak what thus saith Lord.
