Scripture: Jeremiah 15:1-4

In Jeremiah 15:1-4 we are told, “Then the Lord said to me, ‘Even if Moses and Samuel stood before Me, My mind would not be favorable toward this people. Cast them out of My sight, and let them go forth. And it shall be, if they say to you, “Where should we go?” then you shall tell them, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Such as are for death, to death; And such as are for the sword, to the sword; And such as are for the famine, to the famine; And such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.’” ‘And I will appoint over them four forms of destruction,’ says the Lord: ‘the sword to slay, the dogs to drag, the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy. I will hand them over to trouble, to all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.’” It is obvious that God had some favorites. While Jeremiah was praying for the nation, the Lord spoke to him and said, “Even though Moses and Samuel stood before me, I would not be favorable toward this people.” What did Moses and Samuel have in common? They could both say to God, “I have not taken, I have not hurt.“ In Scripture, it is obvious that there is a mammon test that every minister has to pass. If we pass the mammon test, then we are released to impart the fullness of God’s Layered Love to His people. But if we do not, then God’s people are sowing into a compromised altar. The givers at best can only gain half a harvest for their sowing. Any farmer knows if he puts seed in the ground with fertilizer and water, he should have a decent crop. But when you and I sow into a mixed-seed altar, there is no way we can ever obtain the harvest that God intended. The wolves could not stand while Paul was there. The wolves could not stand in the presence of Moses. The wolves could not stand in the presence of Samuel. May the Hand of the Lord come on us so the wolves cannot stand in our presence! Wolves in the church will flee when judgment comes!
