Transformed By Malachi - Part 3
Confession of Faith
I am not moved by what I see or by what I feel.
I am moved by what I believe.
I believe the WORD of God!
The victory is mine!
I have it now!
I can see it through the eyes of my faith!
In Jesus Name
Intro:
So as we continue our series Transformed By Malachi - remember Malachi was sent to give people a dose of reality!
To meet them and reflect to them - how they were living and how they were not pleasing God!
Just like today, the people in Malachi’s day were questioning God!
Just like today, there are questions about God’s justice.
Hear is what I mean
Today, People are doing whatever they want!
Folks are living however the want to live!
People are saying whatever they want to say
Some are killing whoever they want to kill!
And no one ever seems or rarely seems to get punished or suffer the consequences.
Today, Just like in Malachi’s day, folks are ignoring the bible,
People are changing the meaning of the bible
But - the mistake is , We think God is ignoring what’s happening down here!
But remember - there is nothing new under the sun!
Wake up!
We think that because, we don’t see immediate results God is not concerned
But the bible tell’s us that is the furthest thing from the truth!
Malachi was sent to tell the people : they had wearied the Lord with their words and accusations.
How about this
God has grown tired of people’s non stop sinning!
God has grown tired of folk’s total disregard for His Word
God has grown tired of individuals disrespecting his commands
And it’s still these same people who come to God asking for his blessings
Here is where the word checks my spirit!
When we knowingly sin and then go to God for his blessings is that Pride!
Is that Arrogance
Or is that ignorance?
It actually is crazy to think that I can live a life of constant sin, according to the word of God, then ask God to bless me!
Wake Up!
Today, if anyone challenges a believer on his or her sin or lifestyle or total disregard for God’s word on the subject - they respond as if they are so offended!
This is the same thing they were doing in Malachi’s day
Here is food for thought Are our hearts so harden that we are blind to our sins
Or Do we really believe God doesn’t care about how we live, as a Christian
What we do as a Christian
What we say as a Christian
How we carry ourselves as a Christian
It is a mistake to think that God does not see or care about our sins or to question His concern for justice.
It is also a mistake to think that God rewards the wicked.
When the wicked appear to prosper, it is important to keep in mind that God sees and knows all and that He is a God of justice.
God’s Word makes it perfectly clear that judgment is coming.
It is only a matter of time before the wicked meet their fate.
Go to the book of Ezekiel
Ezekiel 5:7–17 (NLT)
7 “Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: You people have behaved worse than your neighbors and have refused to obey my decrees and regulations.
You have not even lived up to the standards of the nations around you.
8 Therefore, I myself, the Sovereign Lord, am now your enemy.
I will punish you publicly while all the nations watch.
9 Because of your detestable idols, I will punish you like I have never punished anyone before or ever will again.
11 “As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, I will cut you off completely.
I will show you no pity at all because you have defiled my Temple with your vile images and detestable sins.
12 A third of your people will die in the city from disease and famine.
A third of them will be slaughtered by the enemy outside the city walls.
And I will scatter a third to the winds, chasing them with my sword.
13 Then at last my anger will be spent, and I will be satisfied.
And when my fury against them has subsided, all Israel will know that I, the Lord, have spoken to them in my jealous anger.
14 “So I will turn you into a ruin, a mockery in the eyes of the surrounding nations and to all who pass by.
15 You will become an object of mockery and taunting and horror.
You will be a warning to all the nations around you.
They will see what happens when the Lord punishes a nation in anger and rebukes it, says the Lord.
17 ... Disease and war will stalk your land, and I will bring the sword of the enemy against you.
I, the Lord, have spoken!”
Wake Up!
Malachi was used to give the people a warning
Here is where it get’s exciting
God warned the people in Malachi’s Day
He told them 2 messengers were coming But it was going to be the second of these messengers who would execute justice.
Today, we need to be reminded that that second messenger is coming back
1.
The first messenger was John The Baptist and he would prepare the way for the second messenger
2. The second messenger was Jesus Christ
The Bible Tells us in
They were looking forward to the blessing
They were looking forward to the prosperity
They were looking forward to the promised messiah
We know he has come!
We know Jesus has come to set things right
Jesus has come!
The blessing is here
But we must allow the blessing in our hearts
We must allow the messiah to cleanse us like a refiners fire!
Burning off all the impurities of sin in our lives
We must allow the blessing to rest rule and abide in our hearts and minds
We must allow Jesus to cleanse us from all sin and unrighteousness
Malachi spent a lot of time warning people about their sin!
Malachi couldn’t change people
Pastor Ken can warn, but can’t change people
You can’t even change yourself
the only one who can clean you of the impurities in your heart and mind is Jesus
The only one who can take the hurt away and make you whole is Jesus
The only one who can make right all the wrong is Jesus
The only one who can protect you is jesus
