WHAT IS THE CONCLUSION?

Isaiah 66:1&2 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build unto me? and where [is] the place of my rest? For all those [things] hath mine hand made, and all those [things] have been, saith the LORD: but to this [man] will I look, [even] to [him that is] poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. The prophesy of Isaiah was so significant to the plan of God for Israel and humanity. It was cited here and there in the New Testament signifying the revelation of the different seasons. So just as God told David, "where is the house you will build for me?". Not the physical edifice, but the heart, because God dwells in our inside through His Spirit. As Jesus explained to the Samaritan woman. John 4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth. It is not how beautiful the house of worship is but how beautiful the hearts that come to worship. That...

WHAT SEASON ARE YOU IN?

Isaiah 64:4 For since the beginning of the world [men] have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, [what] he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. When we read the book of Isaiah, we need to understand that its prophesies and revelations are of different seasons and its directions were to varying people(s), the children of Israel(literally), the various nations and also to the whole world. Yes, when we read the old testament, we do not read like the people of old or the Pharisees and Sadducees with a veil. We read without the veil. We read by the power of the spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:15-16,18 Yes, even today when they read Moses’ writings, their hearts are covered with that veil, and they do not understand. But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are ch...

LET US WORSHIP

1Chronicles 29:20 And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king. There could be many things bothering our hearts. A lot might be on our plate and it seems we are overwhelmed. We may just be excited right now and all seems to be okay around us. No matter what it is, let us take time out time to worship! First, know how to maintain your personal worship, just you and God alone. Then know how to maintain your immediate family worship, it keeps you as one and also helps you edify one another. Then we have our corporate worship. We gather together to worship God, and when we do, we allow love flow in and out of our hearts. There is a release of fresh power, we are also filled with grace to go forth to do exploits in the world. We should not allow any discord or sentiment to take away the power and purpose of our gathering. It is es...

GOD HAS NOT FORGOTTEN YOU

Isaiah 62:12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken. Yes, Jerusalem forsook their God, they went their own way, thus they suffered the consequences. However God's hand of love was still stretched out towards them. The Lord did not forget them, God did not forget man. One thing was sure, that which was to have brought total annihilation rather brought about salvation for all men.  Colossians 1:21  And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in [your] mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled All including Israel are saved if they return to the Lord.  Today we see Israel restored as a nation and even Jerusalem being recognized as a capital again. The Lord has not forgotten His own.  We are not forgotten, no matter what it is we feel we are going through, it is but for a time.  Isaiah 62:8-9  The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his...

WHAT CHRIST CAME TO DO

Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to [them that are] bound; The book of Isaiah was the revelation of Jesus the Christ, it showed what He came to do, His sufferings and the victory. So thus when Jesus had finished His fasting and overcame the temptations of Satan, He returned with power and entered the synagogue as was His custom. When He got to the synagogue in the village where he grew up, He was given the book of Isaiah to read: Luke 4:16-19 When he came to the village of Nazareth, his boyhood home, he went as usual to the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read the Scriptures. The scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where this was written: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News...

HONOUR THE SABBATH

Isaiah 56:2 Blessed [is] the man [that] doeth this, and the son of man [that] layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. I remember when I used to discuss bible doctrines with certain sects. I discovered that their seclusion from others were in keeping of days, including birthdays, sabbath days and even singing of national anthems among others. In Isaiah 56, the revelation of the study included the strangers that would be joined to the fold: Isaiah 56:3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I [am] a dry tree. Isaiah 56:3-4 “Don’t let foreigners who commit themselves to the lord say, ‘The lord will never let me be part of his people.’ And don’t let the eunuchs say, ‘I’m a dried-up tree with no children and no future.’ For this is what the lord says: I will bless those eunuchs who ...

THE GLORY AFTER

Isaiah 60:21 Thy people also [shall be] all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. While we enjoy God's glory, splendor and power here on earth, we must remember that the main glory, the real rest is after here. What we enjoy here on earth is just a glimpse of what the Lord has in stock for us in eternity. Hebrews 4:8-9 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. We must never forget that the real rest is after we have left here, else we will get carried away by the activities of the flesh and thus miss it. 1 Corinthians 15:19  If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. Now remember: While we are here we are subject to the laws of the flesh but when we resurrect we are no longer bound by those laws: * to eat you have to work * the law of gravity * you ...
