He was the one who was writing Jeremiah's prophecies, and that's a great honor to be a secretary of a prophet. You're not a prophet yourself. Jeremiah is a famous man, and a lot of people like to be known as, I know this famous man quite well. So Jeremiah had to tell him very frankly, Jeremiah 45 verse 5, Are you seeking great things for yourself? Don't seek them. Praise God for a prophet who will tell you to your face, you are seeking great things for yourself. Don't seek them. Seek to be hidden. Let's remember that. That's the way that Jesus went, and that's the way we have to go. ======================================================================== Video: https://sermonindex2.b-cdn.net/hZRudzFCocE.mp4 Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/zac-poonen/clip-seeking-to-remain-hidden/ ========================================================================
