New Heart, New Beginnings,

Day 221

Reading: Ezekiel 34:1 -Ezekiel 36:38

God has great things ahead. Oh, I can feel it within me that God has great things for me. As I read the scriptures all that came on me was a sense of a new beginning. God is interested in our well being. He desires the best for us.  Throughout the Bible we see God drawing mankind to Himself. Declare the new season in your life. While reading today's passages I picked a few promises from God that accompanied the sense of a new beginning that weighed heavily on me as I read and meditated on the Scriptures. 
  • God will give us good shepherds. Shepherd not just in the Temple but in nations. God promised that the reign of poor shepherds who only want to eat for themselves will come to an end and that He would appoint good shepherds whose heart is aligned to God Jeremiah 3:15.
  • God is the True Shepherd and will provide, nourish, nurture, and protect His sheep. He also promises to judge the sheep. Don't ever forget that God is the True Shepherd Psalms 23:1
  • I have a covenant of peace. Get ready to have God's peace seat over your mind and spirit. God's peace will also result physically. With God's peace get ready to see a calm all around with your enemies unable to contend with you Ezekiel 34:25
  • Showers of blessing will come upon all that is mine. Get ready to see your field- career, business, ideas- flourish by virtue of the blessing coming upon your life. 
  • Safety from every intention of the enemy. No longer will I be the prey of the enemy. No longer will I be the punching bag of the enemy. My enemies have lost every authority or right to walk all over me. It's a new beginning and no longer do I bear shame!
  • Every desolate place in my life is receiving the command of God to shoot forth with branches and yield fruit for I am coming to possess my land. God is for me and my land- ministry, career, business, ideas- will be tilled. I receive favour to possess the land and the land that God has ordained for me will receive me favourably! Ezekiel 36:8-12.
  • God's name will be sanctified in my life and in the nations. God is cleansing me of every stench, pouring water over me making me clean. He's giving me a new heart and new spirit for this new season Ezekiel 36:26. 
  • God's placing His Spirit within me that I may walk according to His Word and ways. His ways are higher than mine Isaiah 55:9. Obeying the Word with joy will become the new normal.
This new season is not a far away matter. God has promised that as He cleanses us from our stench there will be an immediate enabling to possess the land and to rebuild that which lies desolate. Shout aloud with joy for the new season is here. Open your arms and receive the new season of your life. 

Memory Verse: Ezekiel 36:33

Decree:

Ezekiel 36:26-30

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God. I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. I will call for the grain and multiply it, and bring no famine upon you. And I will multiply the fruit of your trees and the increase of your fields, so that you need never again bear the reproach of famine among the nations. (italics mine)

A better tomorrow

Everyone is hopeful for a better tomorrow. That's why we say "Good morning" at the start of the day. It's an indicator of the hope within that welcomes the dawning of a new day to bring better fortunes our way. God's mercies are new every morning and His compassion does not fail. When faced with adversity it becomes harder to see a better tomorrow, but resilient people are focused on the fact that trouble is only a comma in the sentence of life. At a time where fear has gripped many hearts because of various reasons, it is difficult to remain hopeful. Without hope, you cannot have the faith necessary to live. Faith is the substance of what is hoped for. Faith gives hope tangibility. To be without hope is to open the door of low living. Hopelessness is the start of damnation in life. You and I were born for a reason. We are not just statistics, making up numbers in any particular nation. You and I were born to reign in life. That situation that has so far made...

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...

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 ...
