TOPIC – A Day Of Reckoning And Renewal

READ: Malachi 4:1-6 (NKJV)

  1. “For behold, the day is coming, Burning like an oven, And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up,” Says the LORD of hosts, “That will leave them neither root nor branch.
  2. But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings; And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
  3. You shall trample the wicked, For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet On the day that I do [this,”] Says the LORD of hosts.
  4. “Remember the Law of Moses, My servant, Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, [With the] statutes and judgments.
  5. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
  6. And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”

THE MESSAGE:

Malachi’s final chapter paints a clear picture of contrasting destinies. The wicked face a day of judgment and destruction while those who fear and honour God experience hope and restoration. This passage offers a powerful message about choices, consequences, and the unshaking love of God. The metaphor of a burning oven serves as a clear warning against arrogance and evil. It reminds us that our actions have consequences and that choosing the wrong path leads to destruction.

In contrast, God offers a beacon of hope – the sun of righteousness which signifies salvation, healing, and joy for those who remain faithful. It reminds us that God’s love and grace are ever-present, offering new beginnings even in the midst of darkness. If we can accept the grace through the Lord Jesus Christ, we can escape judgment and destruction and allow the sun of righteousness transform our hearts and deliver us from the danger ahead. Are you ready to face the judgment or will you surrender to Jesus and enjoy total freedom with the fullest of Joy? Make the choice today!

PRAYER: Lord, grant me the wisdom to discern between right and wrong, the courage to choose Your path, and the strength to endure life’s challenges with faith.
