Obey The Assignment; God Will Get The Glory!

You Must Understand The Assignment . . .

Hosea - “He has delivered” Gomer - “To Finish, Complete” Jezreel - “God Scatters, God Sows” Lo-Ruhamah - “No Mercy” Lo-Ammi “Not-My-People” Assign - To give, Grant

Hosea, a minor prophet; assigned to become a symbol of how God’s People treated Him and left Him to go after idols. Our Father’s Love for His People is unexplainable; in spite of our “chasing idols” God still sends counsel to shepherd us back into The Promise and remind us, that He is forever with us, we just need to rest in His Will. . .

Isaiah 54:5-8 For your Maker is your husband, The LORD of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth. For the LORD has called you Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, Like a youthful wife when you were refused,” Says your God. “For a mere moment I have forsaken you, But with great mercies I will gather you. With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,” Says the LORD, your Redeemer.

Husband - “House-Band” God is Our Only way to keep the House together. . .

Woman - “Keeper Of The House” Out of man came help to keep the house together!

God provides the assignment, we are obligated to obey to the assignment, because we are married to Him thru Jesus The Christ!

The reason God instructed Hosea to marry the Prostitute, is because He uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise and prudent. . .

We have become so engrossed with our own way, some have forgotten God. . .Hosea 2:13 (NKJV) 13 I will punish her For the days of the Baals to which she burned incense. She decked herself with her earrings and jewelry, And went after her lovers; But Me she forgot,” says the LORD.

You cannot be so consumed with chasing the position, the increase, the this or that, you forget Who gave you the ability to even begin the assignment. . .

Hosea understood the assignment, being that he was an instrument of praise for God in the earth!

In order for us to be used by God for His Glory in the earth, regardless of the assignment, we must obey it!

I know it may seem difficult, dejecting, indifferent, or even hard, but when God has instructed you, do as Hosea done. . . Hosea 1:3 (NKJV) 3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.

Abraham and Lot were at an impasse, Lot chose the route that was already made; nothing wrong with that, but when you have made your choice, you must obey the assignment, because that is what God has ordained you for!

Jesus is the Chief Shepherd, I am under Him; as a Shepherd of His People. . . In order to accept the assignment, we must “Stand Under” the counsel and instructions. . .

Not pleasing; May not make sense; You may be positioned as being foolish!

Regardless of what it may look like from the external, you must consistent!

Consistency is vital - We are God’s Workmanship, we are His Vessels in the earth, and in order for those whom may not have come into the realization that God Loves them too, in spite of; we must humble ourselves under Our Father’s Counsel, so that He will get The Glory Out Of This and Everything!

Disclaimer: You cannot take The Glory from God - Thus the reason He has given us a measure of Glory, according to our assignment in the earth!

Understand (To know; to have knowledge of; to find out; to learn; to understand; to perceive; to discern; to have knowledge; to acknowledge, to recognize; to be very certain; to remember) - Romans 7:15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.

When I realize that my thoughts must be in alignment with The Mind Of Christ, then I will be able to bring my flesh into rest, regardless of the assignment, because I have hope. . .

We tend to be weakened by the extent of the assignment; yes, it may be an uphill battle, but what God has ordained, nothing can impede, stampede, or even hinder His Glory from being revealed!

1 Corinthians 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Even when it seems foolish, and you feel like you are being foolish, remember this principle and instead of wondering why me, understand that what God has ordained, He has already provided the tools for you to maintain!

Many that are called are not from what the world considers “prudent” those who are facing scrutiny are those that have understood the assignment and realize that God will get the Glory out of this!

Romans 12:1 - 2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

When you have a renewed mind, and have turned to Our Father; what had EVIL intentions, will now be what causes you to LIVE!

Because I have obeyed the instructions of God, turned to Him, no longer do I see death, I live! Because now I know where everlasting life LIVES - Not in my way, but His Way - He Is The Way The Truth The Life!

He Came So That They (We) May Have Life - Abundantly We Live - Regardless Of The Assignment, Not my will but Thine Will Be Done!

Ye though I walk thru the shadow of death, I will fear no EVIL, why, because I have obeyed the assignment and understand that God’s Glory will come from this so I know He is with me, so I LIVE and not die, blessed be His Name!

It means to possess and to be full of perfect light; to dwell in perfect light, brilliance, splendor, brightness, luster, and magnificence with God.
