A New Thing
Text:
Isaiah 43:16 – 21
The
Lord has promised to do a new thing for you in this new month. The new thing
will not be delayed because it shall ‘spring forth now.’ My confidence about it
hinges on 2 Peter 3:9 which says that the Lord is not slack concerning His
promises and Isaiah 40:8 confirm that
God’s word will stand forever.
A
new thing from God goes with a new song; new title, new office, new privileges,
new blessings, new joy, new victory and many more. When you are promoted, your
level changes. However, a new thing from God can be positive or negative depending
on which divide you belong. Our God will surprise us with new things this month
in Jesus name.
In
Exodus 14:21 – 28, when God parted the Red Sea, it was a new thing. The
Israelites experienced this as a way of freedom. But to Pharaoh and his men, it
was a way of total destruction.
When
God says to His children that He will do a new thing, it means that He will
move them to a level of freedom they have never known before.
It
also means that God is about to surprise their enemies beyond recovery. Get
ready; it is your season for a new thing that will lead to a new song (Psalm
40:3) in your life, family, business and ministry.
Beloved
in Christ, before you hold on to a promise, you should first get to know who
made the promise with the terms and conditions.
The
one who is making this promise to His own is the one called Jehovah El-Shaddai
– the God that is more than enough, the Almighty (Genesis 17:1).
Have
you known and accepted Him as your Lord and Saviour? If not, do something now
so you could enjoy the new thing packaged for you this season and beyond. Happy
new month!
Food for
Thought: 2
Corinthians 5:17
Memory verse: Isaiah 43:19
Prayer: Lord God, do a new thing
in my life that will lead to a new song this month and always in Jesus name.
Amen.
