Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | September 11, 2020 | LESSONS FROM PSALMS | We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long. – Psalms 74:9

Dearly beloved, check up sincerely from the churches of Christ, globally. You shall discover something, painful. The departure of God’s Shekinah glory. The true presence of God in His holy temple..

Habakkuk 2:20 But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.

1Ti 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

Beloved what happens to the holy awe, you usually feel when you stepped into the house of the Lord, in the time past? Listen to the lamentation of the Lord.

Hosea 5:15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.

Listen to lamentation of those that have witnessed the holy awe in the time past.

Psalms 74:9 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

What actually happened was the departure of God’s glorious presence in His house, referred to as His Shekinah glory.

Num 9:15 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.

1Ki 8:10 — 1Ki 8:11 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD, So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.

The reason why God’s holy awe and presence is hardly felt in services today, is because, the glory has departed.

1Sa 4:21 — 1Sa 4:22 And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband. And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.

Beloved, why would our loving Father in heaven, choose to abandon the worship services of His people? See the following:

1. Obstinacy and unashamed effrontery against God.

Jeremiah 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

Jer 7:23 — Jer 7:24 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

Jer 44:16 — Jer 44:17 As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee. But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.

2. Preference for false teachers, motivational speakers instead of true ministers of God.

Jeremiah 5:31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

2Th 2:10 — 2Th 2:12 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

2Ti 4:1 — 2Ti 4:4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

3. Listening to the wholesome truth but not doing them.

Ezk 33:30 — Ezk 33:32 Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD. And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.

4. Insincerity , pretence and hypocrisy.

Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Isaiah 33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

Dearly beloved, the buck stops with you, sincerely examine yourself, have you not contributed to the departure of the holy awe and God’s presence in His house?

2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Your response should be affirmative no. But if it is yes, see what you should begin to do.

Heb 12:28 — Heb 12:29 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire.

Beloved, see what shall begin to happen with the anointed God fearing ministers in the churches.

Hebrews 2:4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

May the good Lord find you faithful in Jesus name.
