I WILL DO A NEW THING!

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

MONDAY OCTOBER 25, 2021.

SUBJECT: I WILL DO A NEW THING!

Memory verse: "Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43 vs 19.)

READ: Revelation 21 vs 4 - 7:

21:4: And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.

21:5: Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And he said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”

21:6: And he said to Me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to Him who thirsts.

21:7: He who overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son. 

INTIMATION:

Christianity is not a passive religion that advocates waiting for God to act. We must contend earnestly for the faith we profess; we must have an active faith, training hard, sacrificing, and doing what we know is right. As Christians, our calling from God is to become like Christ (Romans 8 vs 29). This requires our work of faith, being patient, and enduring to the end, “He who overcomes shall inherit all things” (Revelation 21 vs 7).

Christian life may involve a lot of challenges; hardships in many forms: persecution, illness, imprisonment, and even death. The apostle Paul mentioned such challenges in Romans 8 vs 35 as tribulations (trials and suffering), distress (extreme danger and troubles), persecution (oppression, torment, harassment), famine (lack and want), nakedness (bareness, exposure, state of being uncovered), peril (danger, hazards), sword (death). But he said, “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us (Romans 8 vs 37).

God that loves us says, "Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43 vs 19.) God, who makes all things new, has promised to do a new thing. Therefore, no matter the situation you are in right now, I have a good news for someone today, God says He will do new things in your life, even those things that seems impossible, in Jesus’ most wonderful name. Just hold tight to Him, and the former things will pass away, if you endure to the end. 

When the children of Israel left the land of Egypt, God led them around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. Pharaoh changed his mind, came after the children of Israel with his army, to bring them back to Egypt to continue their service to the Egyptians as slaves. The Israelites, who were camping by the sea, lifted up their eyes and saw them coming after them. Trapped against the sea, the Israelites faced the Egyptian army sweeping in for the kill. They thought they were doomed.

Then Moses, who held tight to God, said to them in faith, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” ( Exodus 14 vs 13 - 14.) God commanded the sea to go back by a strong east wind all through the night, and made the sea into a dry land, and the waters were divided. So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. What happened to Pharaoh and his army at the Red Sea is well known to us.

God is saying to someone reading this message today, “Are in a situation that is over your head, and seems impossible for you to conquer?” I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; I will even make a road in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert for you.” Therefore, “Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord.”  

All God requires from us is to strive to work out our faith in Him. We may not be chased by an army, but we may still feel trapped in the circumstances of life, instead of giving in to despair, we should stand still, holding on to God tightly, and see the Lord arise for us, and His glory shall be seen upon us, in the mighty name of Jesus. The God that makes all things new will do a new thing in your life, for you who overcomes, will inherit all things. Hallelujah! 

Prayer: Abba Father, my complete trust is in You. In You I live, and move, and have my being. There is nothing impossible with You nor difficult for You. Do a new thing in my life, that the world will see Your glory shine upon my life, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed. Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
