WEEP
NOT!
MEMORISE
And
I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to
uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it
upheld me.
Isaiah 63:5
READ
Isaiah 63:4-5
4 For the day
of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
5 And I
looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to
uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it
upheld me.
MESSAGE
In Revelation 5:4, John wept because there was no
man who could open a scroll that needed to be opened to reveal secrets on
things to come. Nobody was worthy enough to receive the information despite the
fact that the Lord in Amos 3:7 had promised to reveal His plans or secrets to
His servants the prophets before doing anything. It was truly sad. When secrets
are not unveiled, people remain in the dark without vision or direction. May
you not be left in the dark concerning events about your life, family and
church in Jesus’ Name. Does God trust you enough to disclose His secrets to you
before He does anything in the life of anyone close to you? One truth we can
learn from Elisha and Gehazi is that when no one has paid the price for a
heavenly treasure or gift, God prefers to withhold it than to commit such treasure
into wrong hands. This was why Elisha went to the grave with the double portion
anointing. Have you paid the price for heaven’s treasures?
Fortunately, while John was crying, an elder told
him to stop crying because the Lion of the Tribe of Judah had taken up the job.
This means that, when no man or angel qualifies, God ends up making a way all
by Himself. In Isaiah 63:5, God sought for someone who could help, He found no
one, so His very arm brought the salvation He wanted. This tells us something –
God cannot be stranded. He always has alternative plans. If one plan fails, He
has a plan B, C, D, E, to infinity. Nobody can therefore successfully frustrate
God. If He gives you an opportunity, it is not because He has no one else to do
it, but because He just wants to honour you and make you feel important. Never
take God’s opportunity for granted! He can do exactly what you are doing
through another means. Furthermore, there is no need to weep again if you have
received Jesus Christ into your heart. Why? It is because He has prevailed. In
John 16:33, He says you should cheer up because He has overcome the world.
Through Jesus Christ you can access solutions to any problem.
ACTION
POINT
If only you could stop weeping and look up to
Jesus, you will discover the solution in Him.
