Conflicting Reports

Conflicting Reports

There are always conflicting reports in the life of a believer.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐢𝐬. Alot of people say, "Jesus is my Lord." But deep on the inside, they don't believe His report. They rather believe in the doctors', the experts' and the reporters' report.

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭? - Isa 53:1

The word 'report' in Hebrew is 'shemuah', which can be translated as 'news, report, message, rumour.'

The context of this passage covers Christ who bore our sins and sicknesses (Isa 53:4-5). His report includes, "𝐁𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬, 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐝."

Today, when confronted with reports, news and rumours, we actually believe them more than the report that the prophet Isaiah gave.

When doctors give a report, we forgot about our Master Physician's report.
When reporters give a report, we forgot about the Great Prophet's report.
When experts give a report, we forgot about our Chief Expert's report.

This truly reveals that deep in our heart, our Lord and Master are not Jesus. Because Lordship requires surrendering. You surrender to the Master's report, instead of other people's report.

Whether it is omicron, unicron, megathron, the report from the Alpha and the Omega covers all ------ it says, "By His stripes, you are healed."

Which report will you believe?

The cry of prophet Isaiah is still valid today, "𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭?"
