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)

From the Pit to Safety

The news about the miners rescue has filled the atmosphere with a real lever of optimism. What began as a sad tale has ended well. As I have followed this story over the last 69 days I have had a few thoughts about some of the symbolism of this whole experience. In life we all will find ourselves in a pit (mine) of some sort.Thus the decision to see what I could learn from these great gentlemen. Firstly, they were miners. Do you realise that we all are miners in life? You may not mine for copper but as a lawyer you are mining legal matters that bring you profit. You may be a doctor whose responsibility is to mine to the root of the issue that is troubling a patients body!! We all are mining for a living!!! The miners numbered 33. Jesus was 33 when He was buried. After He died He was buried before He arose. We saw 33 men come out alive. Talk about a resurrection in their lives and in the lives of the men, families, and nation. Each miner underwent change. Whilst in the darkness of th...

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 ...

Arise!!

The world today is one where many feel as though life is beating them down. The different challenges we face in this journey called life have punched many down and out. The fuel price increases, the job cuts, economic recession in different parts of the world, government changes either through the ballot or bullet, governments going broke, floods, drought, to just but name a few things facing many in the world today. It's difficult to go to a party and you don't hear bad news relating to someone you know. The world is changing. The weather patterns are affected by global warming, societal values held by previous generations are being obliterated by the ones following, and guess what, life for many is a nightmare. Today, I want to encourage that person who is lying down beaten by life. We all at times go through situations in life where we are down. It may appear that life's challenges have handed down a technical knockout blow, but humanity was not made to be beaten by lif...
