Lesson: “GOD’S LOVE REJECTED” Final Conclusion Hosea 3:1-5

It’s amazing how God the Father heals by way of redeeming, through buying back, His bride. This highlights His extraordinary LOVE for her (Israel). She did not come back to Him so He went to her in the form of a Holy flesh man; Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Before Jesus was called forth to walk among the land of the living… God had called many prophets His ordained spokesmen to go and give His Words of prophecy to His sinful natured people calling them to repentance and confession.

God needed to make sure whomever He used; fully understood what God wanted in the depth and importance of the call to repentance and confession was established for them too understand to never return to such sins as the flesh of eyes nor return to anything out of a prideful nature.

Father God had to give Hosea his own Israel and Judah experience in order for Hosea to understand God’s love for a bride, and what it felt like to have that bride reject her king and his undying love by choosing others to love her; making the others her god and lord. Please read Hosea 10:2-4Father God gave Hosea, Gomer; a woman that loved prostitution (men with money whom she sold her body as a bribe for the things men could buy for her); they took her places filled with luxury, so Gomer sold herself for jewelry, fine linen and silks and so much more.

The name Gomer, literally means completion; meaning that Gomer was complete in her idolatry state of prostitute! When Hosea married Gomer, it gave Hosea a deeper look at God’s Love; and how much God really does love His bride; a bride God wanted to fill with His Spirit of righteousness; and when she refuse to cooperate; God had to intervene by “Driving her in front of the plow. Israel and Judah had to break up the hard ground of their hearts and souls; their days of ease had to go.” Let’s look at Hosea 10 the later part of verse 11.

This story of Hosea and Gomer, will conclude the lesson of “God’s Undying Love!” When we look into the eyes of the Scripture in Hosea, we hear of how our LORD and GOD love Israel. In Hosea God reveals His unending LOVE for his sinful people and His desire to restore the relationship between Himself; Israel and Judah.

The people of Israel and Judah were viewed as prostitutes (a body of children living perversely). Gomer was so full of this perverted spirit (prostitution) to a point of being possessive (having a appetite for sleeping with men to get in exchange the pleasures of her eye’s for the lust of her flesh caused her to be filled with pride in getting what she wanted).  This is happening to many, many people of God today; with appetites for other fowl things in this world that will steal your heart and soul from God and cause your mind to lose sight of the things and promises of God.

God used His prophet Hosea in a very profound way! God our Lord had Hosea to marry this prostitute Gomer in order for God to teach Hosea His omnipotent LOVE that would aid Hosea in assisting and directing him to become wrought in God’s LOVE.

I asked God! How can He love us the way He does? “He replied it’s because My LOVE is not depending on you.” People of God! God LOVES us so deeply that He knows many of us will reject His Love and WILL   NOT return to Him; and yet it still has nothing to do with His decision to love you.

God needed Hosea to have this sadden experience by marrying Gomer to give Hosea’s heart, mind and soul the betrayed love God had received from Israel and Judah and the world of today that’s called His bride.God through Jesus Christ of Nazareth wants a marriage to take place; but the first thing about a marriage is to involve through complete understanding the IDENTITY. “THE TWO ARE TO BE ONE!”

THE RECOGNITION OF UNITY IS ESTABLISHED. Wo-man was taken out of man giving her a place by her husband’s side; she is to walk with him as he follows God; placing all he has including his own life in the hands of God by faith; love and yielding to the things of God and heaven. A`-men and a`-men! People love by way of their flesh, what their eyes beholden; then their pride desires whatever their soul has coupled with, within the flesh and eyes. In the story of Hosea and Gomer, Hosea’s wife was every bit of 1John 2:15; 16.

 I am Minister L. Munerlyn wishing Gods continue blessing to ALL. Peace!
