Memory verse is taking from the book of Jeremiah 5:1-5.
Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem; see now and know; and seek in her open places if you can find a man, if there is anyone who executes judgment, who seeks the truth, and I will pardon her (Jeremiah 5:1)
EXPOSITION
If any school, organisation, family, business or church administration is going to be unique, efficient, effective, and productive, there must be the search for God-fearing, faithful and honest people. The Lord instructed His servant, Jeremiah, to run to and fro, up and down the street of Jerusalem, in the broad and secret places, that, if he could find a man that was upright and a seeker of truth, then He (God) would pardon the land.
In Gen. 18:23-33, Abraham interceded for Sodom, peradventure there would be fifty righteous men in the city, so that God would spare it. Abraham kept reducing the number till it got to ten. Yet, God couldn't find ten righteous people therein. God is in a search of committed, devoted, reliable, honest, faithful, upright Christians who He can use to propagate the gospel, so that He can pardon our community, city, country, church and continent. Will He find you qualified?
When an organisation, church, or family is in lack of the above Christian virtues, there is the tendency of unpardoned sin. Will God find you or me qualified like Noah? (Gen. 6:8) Let us make ourselves available for the use of our Master, in this corrupt generation.
PRAYER POINTS
1. O Lord my God, find me and use me.
2. Father, grant me the ability to be a good example to unbelievers.
3. Lord, give us the grace to return to You in all situations.
