26 Sep - Isaiah 48:12-50:11; Ephesians 4:17-32; Psalm 69:1-18; Proverbs 24:5-6

Isa 48:17 “I am the Lord your God,who teaches you to profit,who leads you in the way you should go.

Indeed, it is the Lord that I thank. A method that that I used in Forex that give a consistent profits of more than 500 pips per month.

Now, here is the questions - How am I giving back to the Lord? How important is money and how do I intent to use them? Lord, I know what is the model answer. I will seek and even as I plan for the business expansion and roadmap, I wil need you. I pray as I continue to seek you, let my heart be attentive to you that I will leave the business planning and decisions all to you.

Yes, I thank you for leading me to Christian brothers, to partner as my research team. Let this team spur each other to you first, and let the motive and all the growth be unto the Lord.

Even as I call for a first meeting and set the direction, let all plans and intent be to your glory.

Isa 48:12 I am he; I am the first,and I am the last.13 My hand laid the foundation of the earth,and my right hand spread out the heavens;

This is the Lord that call us - the creator of the universe, such a previleage.
This was the hour, 17 Thus says the Lord,your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:

He has called and assemble back His people. Yes, Babylon He has raised, but now it will be no more, the time has reversed and its time to gather the poeple back.

It is not what the poeple has done to deserve the call back, nor it was because of Babylon evil, but the Lord is faithful, our redeemer, in order to fulfil the salvation plan He has for mankind. Such is our God.

What is then we should do? The Lord hate evil. He reminded the people of His commandments, Isa 48:18 Oh that you had paid attention to my commandments!Then your peace would have been like a river,and your righteousness like the waves of the sea;19 your offspring would have been like the sand,and your descendants like its grains;their name would never be cut offor destroyed from before me.”

Chapeter 49 is about a calling - the action and execution for His salvation plan. Can we be the one? Or will we be willing be the one?

Isa 49:6to raise up the tribes of Jacoband to bring back the preserved of Israel;I will make you as a light for the nations,that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

Such is the calling and what a privileage to be called.

Isa 49:8 Thus says the Lord:“In a time of favor I have answered you;in a day of salvation I have helped you;I will keep you and give youas a covenant to the people,to establish the land,to apportion the desolate heritages,

How many of us need restoration? Not unless we are broken... Not to be so, you may not survive and by then there is no need to talk about restoration. I am sad that many people are so, caught up with their daily activities and trusted in their strength and refuse to come back to God - well not until God break them up. But why why wait for such a time. Come back, come back, for it pain the Lord to see His children fall into prositution and colude in various evil. I pray not for other, my father and also for myself.

Isa 49:15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child,that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?Even these may forget,yet I will not forget you.

Such is the promise and such is the love.

Isa 49:19 “Surely your waste and your desolate placesand your devastated land—surely now you will be too narrow for your inhabitants,

Not only He redeemed, He restored. He will forgive and bring us back to His embrace. The love He showered on us is not only that, He will restored the former glory. Let us be able to say that all riches and all blessing come from Him. He wnated us to know that the restoration is a pure act by God and not by the work of man. Your former glory was destroyed but now your current blessings are from God - Give thanks!

Isa 49:23Then you will know that I am the Lord;

Isa 49:26Then all flesh shall knowthat I am the Lord your Savior,and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”

Lastly to encourage all of us who put our trust in God
Isa 50:2Is my hand shortened, that it cannot redeem?Or have I no power to deliver? NO

I don't call myself anywhere near perfect - I am worst, how can I stand in front of the Lord, unless He forgives through Jesus Christ. How long will it take me to freed from the bondage of sins - a decision and more decisions to repent from the actions and ways of committing sins against the Lord. I pray for breakthrough..
