Topic :Repentance, Key To Blessing.

Memory Verse: Isaiah 1:17. Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

Bible Reading :Isaiah 1:18-20. Key Verse: v18.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

At this time in history, the people of God were backsliden and the land was filled corruption from the least to the great. The judges were not left out as they sold justice and oppressed the weak and vulnerable. The fatherless, widows, and less privileged were oppressed at will, yet the people who lived contrary were very occupied with religion. They were bringing proceeds of fraud to the house of God without listening to his commands to obey them. They thought they could buy the creator of the universe with their gifts. “To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.” Isaiah 1:11-13.

God sent Isaiah the prophet here to call the people back to himself. What God requires from the wicked and sinner is just to turn from their wicked and sinful ways and do what is right to enjoy his forgiveness and mercy. The Lord will always rebuke us when we go astray because we belong to him. Anytime men wallow in evil and wickedness, they incure the wrath of God and divine judgement, especially when they fail to recognise his warnings as to heed such, when they ignore the corrective grace of God. “Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.”
Isaiah 1:5-7.

This day, the Lord wants us to reason with him and turn from our ungodly, religious, oppressive and wicked ways. Some of the troubles we go through sometimes are because we walk in disobedience. When that happens, heaven close against men and struggle sets in. The only to unlock such closed heavens as to enjoy God’s blessings is to follow the way of representance from the depths our hearts. Trust the Lord, he is ever ready to forgive us in his mercy when we heed his rebuke and do that which is right before him. That is key to enjoying the good of the land. “If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:13-14.

Prayer : Thank you Father God because whom you love, you chastise. Today I repent in any way I have gone astray before you. Have mercy on me wherever I have missed it in the past. I return to the paths of obedience to your commands today. By your mighty mercies, let your favour and blessing be my portion forever in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading :Exodus :15:22-27, 12:1-7.
