Jeremiah 15:20, “And I will make you to this people, a fortified bronze wall. ”
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious word of God that comes to you is taken from the book of Jeremiah 15:20, “And I will make you to this people, a fortified bronze wall. ”
My dear children of God, the Lord says in this verse that He will make you a fortified wall before those people who criticized you, who mocked you and made fun of you. It may be your neighbours, your friends, your relatives, or co-workers, working at your work spot. The Lord is looking at each one of you and saying, ‘I will make you a bronze wall in the midst of those people with whom you live’. Why has God erected a bronze wall around you? Bronze material is very strong and cannot be destroyed easily, just like that your family life, your house will be like a well-secured fort. It will be a protection against satan who might come to take away your goods, your wealth and your property.
Another verse says, that ‘God will break in pieces, the gates of bronze, and cut the bars of iron; and He will give you the treasures, of darkness. And hidden riches of the secret places’(Isaiah 45:2-3) . God says, having erected a bronze fortified wall God wants to fill your fort with treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places. What is God going to do for you? He is going to break all the obstacles and hindrances that you had been through so far in your life and He will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of the secret places, so that you may live a prosperous life. Not only that even in the darkest, hardest times of our lives, we will find blessing. That is the treasure. Through those hard times is when we will turn to God, and we will learn to rely on Him. We will learn that God is God, and that He calls us by name. No matter what we have to go through, God has the power to get us through it, and He loves us. What a source of hope that is!
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse “And I will make you to this people, a fortified bronze wall. ” As you promised, break in pieces the gates of bronze and the bars of iron and bring for my children the secret riches. Guard and protect the houses and their families. Help them to enjoy safety and security. Let peace be with the walls and prosperity within their palaces. And whatever treasures have been hidden in the secret places, let my children get back all their hidden treasures. When they open their hands, they should be filled with good things. Help them to live in contentment.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
