Memory Verse :Isaiah 44:4. And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.
Bible Reading :. Isaiah 44:1-3. Key Verse : v3.
Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:
There is something about diviine choice; nobody has the capacity to question it. It is always the prerogative of God Almighty and himself alone. Only him decides the yardstick to use at any point in time and in any given situation, depending on what he desires to achieve. For example, when he wanted to raise a replacement king for Israel, after king Saul failed, he needed a man who loves or who will love him and the people from the depths of his hearts. That was how he ended up with David the shepherd boy, who met that needed requirement.
“But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.”1 Samuel 16:7,12.
On a second note we need to understand today as believers that the highest gift God gave the church is His Spirit. In the Holy Spirit, God gave himself to man. The outpouring of the Spirit of God on man is the release of God into man, so that God can live within a man and make him his operational office. We need to know that God pours his Spirit into any man to the level of his or her hunger and thirst. “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)” John 7:37-39.
On a final note we need to understand that God’s blessing upon us as his people is first spiritual and not material. However, this spiritual blessing or divine presence pulls everything good to the carrier including material things. There is need to say this because anytime we talk about blessing among believers, the first thing that comes to the mind of many is material things. That is the reason many today are not seeking the kingdom and its righteousness but those things that are promised to be added, only we have gotten the kingdom and its righteousness at work in our lives. “Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:31-33.
Prayer :Thank you Father God for your love for me and the grace to know you more. Give me understanding of who you are and what you are doing in my life. Help me not to miss you for any reason. Position me for higher kingdom blessing and attendant responsibilities in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Acts 3:11-4:4.
