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)

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

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 ...
