The Lord Sent A Word

Day 179

Reading: Isaiah 7:1 - Isaiah 9:21

Prophesy is very much alive. Don't think that God cannot speak. God is not dead. God is very much interested in our lives and desires to speak to us. My prayer is that my eyes and ears be open to see and hear what God has to say or do. God is a speaking God and the challenge today is are we willing to hear what He has to say.

Isaiah prophesied in different dimensions. 
  • He was sent to declare a prophetic word to individuals. God is interested in the individual.
  • He was sent to do prophetic actions. His wife a prophetess conceived and gave birth to a child whose name was a prophecy to children of Israel. 
  • He prophesied to nations. God sent him to Israel, and the nations surrounding them.
  • He also prophesied of the Messiah. 
As I studied the Scriptures I am amazed at how God is a God of order. Right from Genesis we see God promise and reveal a plan for a Messiah who would save mankind. We see Isaiah declare the virgin birth of the Son of God. Reading this today I heard God say to me that I should never think impossible. If God can declare that a child would be conceived of a virgin the listener would require faith to believe that it can happen. Prophecy is not of the possible but it introduces the God element to manifest an impossible thing. 

In the midst of prophecy, Isaiah declares that if one does not speak according to the Word light is not in them. God cannot contradict His Word and if you don't believe in God then don't expect Him to establish you. Declare the Word of God. Be like Isaiah who declared that he and his children are for signs and wonders to the nations. 

Memory Verse: Isaiah 8:18

Decree:


Isaiah 7:7
Thus says the Lord God: “It shall not stand, nor shall it come to pass. (italics mine)

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...

Work & Prayer; Prayer & Work.

Day 135 Reading: Nehemiah 1:1 - Nehemiah 4:23 One of the things I am learning is that God is not interested in my being so heavenly minded that I am not of any use here on earth. God placed man in the Garden of Eden here on earth, not heaven. We are created to be creators here on earth. God made us for work. If God made the earth how much more should we also work if we are His children? We have a responsibility to work and at the same time be vessels that bring honour to God's Kingdom. Today we begin the book of Nehemiah. This gentleman was not a king but the cupbearer for the King and he did mighty things for God.  Nehemiah was burdened with the state of Jerusalem. We are told of how he enquired to know the state of the returnees from exile and was perplexed at the sad state they found Jerusalem. He was saddened to hear that the Jerusalem, the focal point of the children of Israel, was desolate. He took it to prayer that God would restore Jerusalem. We meet Nehemiah p...

Lessons From A Parable

Day 259 Reading: Luke 14:1 - Luke 16:31 The thoughts that God has for you are too many to be counted. Jesus while speaking asked the disciples if they knew the number of hairs that fall off their head? Jesus told them that God is so interested in the minute details about us that He knows when one hair falls down. God is so detailed about our lives because He is good. When you embrace the goodness of God by understanding that God's love towards us is immeasurable. Whilst reading today's passages my heart was refreshed as I read a very famous parable featuring the prodigal son.   Jesus tells us of two sons and a father. The younger son asked for his inheritance and left home leaving the elder son and his father.  The younger went to a faraway land and wasted his life. He soon was dead broke, deserted by his new found friends and looking for a job. He soon was working for a farmer feeding his pigs. His job must have been so mundane with low pay as he ate the food the...
