Highlights
I am a jealous God. Any representation of God apart from His revealed Word is a misrepresentation. Like An idol we walk around on a leash… God cannot be confined, controlled. Misrepresentation to His majesty.
This is the root problem of idolatry. It creates a… false something something….
An idol makes an infinite God finite. The invisible, visible. Omnipotent potent. Living God dead. Spiritual GOd physical… In essence it makes him the exact opposite of who he is… the whole idea of idolatry is the foolishness of human beings trying to make an image of this awesome almighty God
We think jealous means negative conotations. Where does God say love? He will not share the love of his children with anything or anyone else. Speaks of his zealous. Burning passion to protect…
One generation will set the spiritual tone for the next generation.
We are in a covenantal relationship with God. GOd deals with us in a covenantal way. When the parents are not worshipping God, surely the children will be affected.
This promise is more powerful than the warning. The blessing will not just last for 3 or 4 generations but for thousands of generations. In other words, it will last forever. GOd’s promise going back to Abraham.
this promise has to be received by faith and this faith has to be articulated through a love for God and obedience to His commands…
Do you want God to bless your family and your children? If you want GOd to bless.. there is this awesome responsibility for you to demonstrate your faith before your children by loving God and obeying his commands.
Do you think our children do not know if we have broken the second commandment?
When we put our financial portfolios as the number 1 in our lives.. our houses, our children’s educations… those things have become our idols. Those sins will affect our children. It will afffect the value stystesms. They will imitate… the cycle goes on and on and on.
On the other hand, if we love God supremely, and he;’s always number 1 in our lives, everything else pales in comparison with Him, and we love him, worship and honour him with everything we have… the blesssing of GOd will rest upon our families. Our children have this godly pattern. They will also subsequently teach their children. And the cycle goes on and on and on by God’s mercy.
- What kind of life are you living? What kind of worship are you offering? What kind of legacy will you leave behind? There is this awesome responsibility for you and I to leave behind a legacy always articulating our faith and keeping his commandments.
- At least they remember, my dad my mum loves GOd and keeps his command.
One of the most neglected commandments esp amongst christians In the western world. Perhaps only place to see an idol is when we visit mission stations…
- but an idol is not only something that we can see and touch. Just like the rest of the commandments, the second commandment is spiritual. And if it is spiritual…
- John Calvin rightly said, the human heart is a perpetual factory of idols. Our hearts are always busy manufacturing idols according to our whims and fancies.
Let me give u subtle examples of idols which some of us may not realise…
When God says thou shalt not make graven images, God is saying I will not be captured, I will not be contained by anyone for any purposes. Worship and honour him, not to use him.
