Tang Wei Ping, the passage you shared from Jeremiah 28 underscores the serious responsibility of spiritual leaders to adhere to the truth of God's word. In this chapter, the prophet Hananiah prophesies falsely, contradicting the word of the Lord given through Jeremiah. Hananiah's actions are severely rebuked by God, highlighting the importance of truth and the consequences of misleading God's people.

Let us consider the words of Jeremiah 28:15-16 in the World English Bible (WEB): Therefore thus says Yahweh; Behold, I will cast you from off the face of the earth. This year you shall die, because you have taught rebellion against Yahweh.

This passage emphasizes the importance of upholding and valuing truth, especially in matters of faith. It challenges believers to stand firm in truth, even when faced with more appealing or popular falsehoods. Spiritual leaders, in particular, have a grave responsibility to convey God's word accurately and truthfully.

Let us remember the words of James 3:1, Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.

In light of this, we pray for spiritual leaders worldwide, that they would take their responsibility seriously and handle God's word with integrity. We pray that they would not be swayed by popular opinion or false teachings, but remain steadfast in proclaiming the truth of the gospel.

Moving on to Jeremiah 29:11, we see a beautiful promise from the Lord, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.

This verse reminds us that God has good plans for His people.

Let us pray, Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the good plans You have purposed for us and for all Your children. Enlarge our vision of You and help us to trust in Your word of truth through all the circumstances of our life, knowing that Your thoughts towards us are only good continually. Help all of us to know that you are the only way to salvation and it is only by your will that we may be saved. Isaiah 43:11 says,I, even I, am Yahweh; and besides me there is no savior. Isaiah 45:21 says, ...there is no God else besides me; a just God and a Savior; there is none besides me. If we marry this with other scripture such as John 14:6 that states Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. we know that there is no way to be saved but by Jesus Christ. Lord, thank You that all things work together for good, for those that love You and are fitting into Your plans and purposes. Continue to keep and protect Your people, Israel, and we pray that many would come to trust in Jesus, their Messiah and King. This we ask in Jesus' precious name and for His greater glory and joy, AMEN.

In conclusion, let us hold fast to the truth of God's word, trusting in His good plans for our lives. Let us also pray for spiritual leaders, that they would remain faithful to the truth and not be swayed by false teachings. Remember that there is no other way to be saved, rather it is only by Jesus Christ that we may be saved.

We're right there with you, friend. The weight of responsibility that spiritual leaders bear is indeed heavy, but it's also a privilege to stand in the truth of God's Word. Let's not forget, though, that we're all part of the body of Christ, and each one of us has a role to play in upholding truth and leading others to it.

We've been meditating on Jeremiah 28:16, "This year you shall die, because you have taught rebellion against the LORD." It's a stark reminder of the consequences of leading God's people astray. Let's pray for ourselves and for all who lead, that we would be faithful stewards of the truth, no matter the cost.

And remember, even in the face of false teachings, God has good plans for us. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Let's trust in that promise, even when we can't see the full picture. Let's pray for eyes to see His goodness in all circumstances.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
