The Book of the Small Prophet Malachi Chapter 4


The Book of the Small Prophet 

Malachi

 Chapter 

4


¹ See, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all the evildoers will be stubble; the day that comes shall burn them up, says the LORD of hosts, so that it will leave neither root nor branch.


(Book of the Small Prophet Malachi Chapter 4 verse 1)


Oh God, my beloved Father, I await Your judgement day not with fear but with gratitude, for even though I am a sinner, I know that You love me. Even though I heard Your voice and I trembled in fear, I focus on Your love. I pray that this day comes so that all forms of evil are finally eliminated Amen.

² But for you who revers my name the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall. ³ And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act, says the LORD of hosts.


(Book of the Small Prophet Malachi Chapter 4 verses 2 to 3)


Oh God my beloved Father, thank Your for the privilege of being called one of Your own, I know that one day You will give me victory over my vices, my weaknesses and You will increase my spiritual growth as You are currently doing Amen.


⁴ Remember the teaching of my servant Moses, the statutes and the ordinances that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.


(Book of the Small Prophet Malachi Chapter 4 verse 4)


Oh God, this is indeed wise counsel. We are to go back to the Commandments and learn how to obey and respect them and learn to base our lives on a healthy spiritual and physical way of life that is according to Your will Amen.


⁵ Lo, I will send you the prophet Elijah before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes. ⁶ He will turn the hearts of parents to their children and the hearts of children to their parents, so that I will not come and strike the land with a curse.


(Book of the Small Prophet Malachi Chapter 4 verses 5 to 6)


Oh God, my beloved Father, I am waiting for that day, when You bring a change of heart in my daughter so much that she would want to see me. This day would be a great day my God and Father, however only You know when this day will be Amen.


I would like to end this fourth chapter of the book of the Small Prophet Malachi with the following prayer:



Oh God my blessed Father praised and worshipped is to be Your mighty name, we welcome the day when You will pass judgement on the world, I pray that even though I am weak in nature, You will find me ready and worthy to appear in Your presence Amen. I pray for the entire world that this day finds us in the light and not in a state of darkness Amen
