“The Zeal of The Lord”
Friday, September 6, 2024Key Verse
“For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.” 2 Kings 19:31
Text — 2Kings 19:30-34
Message
Zeal means a form of commitment to something. It is showing seriousness to the work or assignment you are given. To be zealous for God is to be committed to the work of the Lord and doing it with the whole of your mind.
According to our Bible passage we see the promise God had and the zeal He put up to bless His people. He promised to defend Israel and their city for the sake of his servant David. The question is, Can God be zealous for you? Can He defend you like He did to the children of Israel? That can only be possible if you are a friend of Jesus.
You must also show commitment to the work of the Lord by making yourself available for weekly fellowship, sweeping and cleaning the church premises, evangelism, visitation and observance of daily quiet time. As you do all these, you will be blessed. Therefore, surrender your life to Him today and let God begin to defend you.
