Topic :Take Full Advantage Of Jesus.
Memory Verse: Isaiah 11:5. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
Bible Reading :Isaiah 11:1-3 KJV. Key Verse : v2.
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
Isaiah is one of the Prophets in the old testament that prophesied deeply about Jesus Christ, who is the branch that grew from the roots of Jesse to bear rule. His assignment was unique and specific. The Spirit of God at work in him without measure was the secret behind his unique earthly ministry whose impact and results the entire universe can never recover from till eternity. The rod here is for teaching and correction. He came and taught us about life and God and how we can relate fruitfully with God our creator and father. “All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:27-30.
We have to take advantage of what God has done for us in him to the fullest as to have a rewarding life here on earth by the help of his Spirit given to us to live by. The wisdom of God that comes from understanding works in us when we recognise him as saviour and live to follow his footsteps in life. When we listen to him for direction in life we, we walk in the higher pedestals of life and operate beyond the strength and ability of ordinary men. Through his wise counsel we become mighty men because no other counsel can prevail against him. “For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations . Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.” Psalms 33:9-12.
We have to live our lives to reverence him as a loving and caring father who watches over us and our affairs daily. This fear is not of terror, but that of giving him due respect as our creator and saviour. This fear or respect of a father is grounded in love and works in us to obey him willingly and joyfully, knowing how much investments he made to get us where we are in him. As our saviour, his judgement is always in our favour because he died in our place to pay for our sins and rose from the dead for our justification. Today we are seated together with him in the place of authority and rulership. “Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:5-7.
