Jeremiah 1:1-8
Jeremiah to be God's prophet in the year of the reign of Josiah, through Jehoiakim and down to the fifth month of the 11 year of Zedekiah king of the Judah.
Jeremiah was appointed as a prophet to the nations by the Lord.
The Lord has chosen Jeremiah before he was born.
Jeremiah said " I do not know how to speak; I am only a child." The Lord said to him, "Do not say 'I am only a child.' Your must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you."
Why?
The date is 627 BC, Jeremiah is a young man, probably in his early twenties, and as reluctant to become God's spokesman as Moses before him. But about one thing he had no doubt His message was a word from God himself. "The word of the Lord came to me' run as a refrain right through the book, from first to last.
To be a prophet of the Lord say God's word only.
To be a prophet of the Lord say what ever the Lord says, do not be afraid for the Lord will with us, protect and rescue us.
To be a prophet is chosen by the Lord. It is the sovereign of the Lord permitted, we can't lie to others.
How?
To be a prophet of the Lord is an honor and it is a hard mission that suffer many pain and scorn and despised by the rebellion people.
Obey the command of the Lord have to forsake our own mind and honor.
