WHO DOES GOD CALL A MAN? (PART 1)

EVEN GOD HAS A NEED!

“Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. So truth fails, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Then the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice. He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor; Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; and His own righteousness, it sustained Him.” Isaiah 59:14-16

A careful examination of this scripture, would reveal to us something quite alarming. Out of all the millions of people in the world, at the time when prophet Isaiah penned down these words. God himself confessed not to have identified a man. In verse 16a of that scripture, it says “He saw that there was no man…”



What? Did he say there was no man? Out of all the people in the whole wide world? No man? Relating this scripture to our time today, that is like saying, of the over seven billion people alive today, God comes around and complains, He can’t find a man. What a paradox that would seem to us. Alas! As I write these words however, I could hear the burden and the cry in the heart of God Almighty, that the same need persists today. EVEN GOD HAS A NEED.

Can God be frustrated about anything? Well, if this is not frustration I am seeing here, then I don’t know what it is. Could it be that even to this same present time, the maker of heaven and earth is frustrated that he can’t find enough men to take care of business on the earth.

What frustrated God so bad, to make him scream that he can’t find a man? A return to that passage would give us a glimpse.

“Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. So truth fails, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Then the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice. He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor; Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; and His own righteousness, it sustained Him.” Isaiah 59:14-16

God is frustrated by the following factors. Whenever these factors are present in any given society, God is angry, frustrated, irritated and grieved. His frustration is mainly directed at men. Men who he had charged with the mandate to manage the earth for him. Man who is now so much preoccupied with his own day to day survival. Men that have neglected his instructions and injunction, to rule and reign on earth, on behalf of God. This cannot but frustrate even God himself.

“To sin by silence, when they should protest, makes cowards of men.” ― Ella Wheeler Wilcox

To be continued tomorrow with the tomorrow points:

  • Factors that causes grievances in the heart of God:
  • The foundation of every society 

FOR   THE   LOVE   OF   GOD,   CHURCH   AND   NATION
