Jeremiah
"An assayer and a fortress"
Text: Jeremiah 6:27
MULTIPLE MINISTRIES OF THE PROPHET
The LORD called Jeremiah to be a prophet (Jeremiah 1:5). God also personally equipped Jeremiah so that he could adequately fulfil his role as a prophet. Along the way, God added other roles and ministries to Jeremiah.
“I have set you as an assayer and a fortress among My people,
That you may know and test their way.
They are all stubborn rebels, walking as slanderers.
They are bronze and iron,
They are all corrupters;
The bellows blow fiercely,
The lead is consumed by the fire;
The smelter refines in vain,
For the wicked are not drawn off.
People will call them rejected silver,
Because the LORD has rejected them.”
Jeremiah 6:27-30
