Topic : Restoration And Recovery.
Memory Verse : Isaiah 49:17. Your children hasten back, and those who laid you waste depart from you.
Bible Reading : Isaiah 49:14-16 NIV. Key Verse : v15.
But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me.” “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.
When the people of Israel was carried away into slavery and servitude into the land of Babylon, it looked like the end of the road when it lasted for about 400 years. But God didn’t forget or abandon them there. He remembered his covenant with their fathers and came back to promise their restoration by the mouth of his servants, the Prophets. After speaking about the restoration of Israel, the Lord began to speak about the coming of the Messiah and the emergece of the Church
“And now the Lord says— he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself, for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord and my God has been my strength – he says: “It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.” This is what the Lord says— the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel— to him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the servant of rulers: “Kings will see you and stand up, princes will see and bow down, because of the Lord, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”” Isaiah 49:5-7.
The love the Lord has for the Church can only be compared to that a mother for her little baby. When a baby is tender and at the stage where he is sucking breast, the child is being nurtured to grow into the age of maturity and responsibility. At that tender age mistakes are not counted, rather the mother is responsible for the upkeep and everything the baby needs to be comfortable. The mother fights the battles of her baby. “Can plunder be taken from warriors, or captives be rescued from the fierce? But this is what the Lord says: “Yes, captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save. I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”” Isaiah 49:24-26.
Today the mercy of God is speaking for as many as needs his intervention and a change of story. The mercies of God can rewrite the story of any man family or people at a twinkle of the eyes. When God is out to deliver, there is no stopping him. All you need to do is to only believe in what the Lord is saying. His promises are dependable because his intervention changes any ugly situation and makes something good out of every form of hopelessness and negativity. “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise.” Isaiah 43:19-21.
Prayer :Thank you Father God for the love you have for me that is stronger than that a mother has for her sucking baby. Thank you for taking over my battles, having mercy on me and giving me your victory to live by through Jesus who died for me to live restored in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : John 15:18-16:4.
