Isa 45
I do not need to do any work from His words. I just need to be in Him and when His words is spoken, then He will guide me to do His works.
I am His child, not His servant. First a son, then His servant. Not a servant in order to be His son.
2 “I will go before youand level the exalted places, [1]I will break in pieces the doors of bronzeand cut through the bars of iron,3 I will give you the treasures of darknessand the hoards in secret places,that you may know that it is I, the Lord,the God of Israel, who call you by your name.4 For the sake of my servant Jacob,and Israel my chosen,I call you by your name,I name you, though you do not know me.5 I am the Lord, and there is no other,besides me there is no God;I equip you, though you do not know me,6 that people may know, from the rising of the sunand from the west, that there is none besides me;I am the Lord, and there is no other.
He will go before you.
He has chosen you.
He will equip you.
He is the Lord.
I just enjoy the process even as He prepares me.
As for me, enjoy His presence, seek His heart, listen to Him.
Lord, as I read your word, guide and lead me. Open my ears to listen to your heart and open my eyes to see your cloud moving when the time comes. Amen.

Isa 44
24 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer,who formed you from the womb:“I am the Lord, who made all things,who alone stretched out the heavens,who spread out the earth by myself,
It is the Lord who has created everything.
v25 who frustrates the signs of liarsand makes fools of diviners,who turns wise men backand makes their knowledge foolish,26 who confirms the word of his servantand fulfills the counsel of his messengers,
It is the Lord who loves righteousness.
who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited,’and of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be built,and I will raise up their ruins’;27 who says to the deep, ‘Be dry;I will dry up your rivers’;28 who says of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd,and he shall fulfill all my purpose’;saying of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be built,’and of the temple, ‘Your foundation shall be laid.’”
It is the Lord who bless.
There is nothing you can do. Just wait upon the Lord and enjoy His presence. It is not about your works, because He has done everything.
Enjoy the process and just soak in His words, His worship.
We need not to work on His words to please Him. But when His words is spoken, then do the works.
I am not ready for any works yet. There is a lot of heart preparation and there is a lot of unrestedness in my job, my walk etc and that has affected me. So even if He called, I may have failed to hear, least to act and heed.
Prepare me in this season, that I may learnt to rest and depends on the Lord. This day I pray and let each day be a witness to your greatness in these areas. Amen.

Isa 43
As I was worhsipping in Church yesterday, the familiar verse in Isa 43:18-19
18 “Remember not the former things,nor consider the things of old.19 Behold, I am doing a new thing;now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?I will make a way in the wildernessand rivers in the desert.
I am anxious about the account, the debt that I owe for the house. Because my intention is to leave a permanent job and be out. Balance, how is it going to be done.
I wait upon the promise of God, but how much do I trust and believe Him. Can I simply enjoy the work I am in now and enjoy the process?
I may not be ready to enter the promise land. I may be unclean, lack of faith etc.
I just pray that God will bless the process and turned the situation into a river. Let me enjoy the work and bless me with the profits. Remove the yoke of the debt and my burden. Replace them with plunder from the Egyptian!
I surrender. I am weary but I should not be downcast because the Lord will do a new thing. I look forward to the day in the river in the desert!

Isa 43
v22 “Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob;but you have been weary of me, O Israel!23 You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings,or honored me with your sacrifices.I have not burdened you with offerings,or wearied you with frankincense.24 You have not bought me sweet cane with money,or satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices.But you have burdened me with your sins;you have wearied me with your iniquities.
I have came and lament on what have I received from the Lord. But I have not given, I have burden the Lord with my iniquities.
There is a need to set things right. Enjoy the work allow God to work in us. The results of your work is not because I have work hard, but the Lord has bless. He will bless you with the results from the years of the locusts.
Acts 2: 42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe [4] came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
This should be the model for my family and Isaiah Initiative.
Spent the time together in Christ and remembering Christ. At the same time, we minister to each other in our daily needs, with of course for Isaiah Initiative, trade and fellowship at the same time.
Enjoy the process and let not hurry it and blunder the results that God intend. Remember, be right with God!

Isa 42
It has been some time since I last blog.
But I have to come back to God, as seek first the kingdom of God.
v18-25
v25 So he poured on him the heat of his angerand the might of battle;it set him on fire all around, but he did not understand;it burned him up, but he did not take it to heart.
I am that stuboorn mule. I want the goal but has forgotten the objectives and the purpose of achiving the goal. I have read but words don't get in and have depend again on my own strength. I have failed to see the fire around me and has allow it to burn.
Turn away and wake up. That is why I have to start blogging again, to get myself back to track and do what is first thing first.
Sorry God, open my eyes, forgive me. I have to get back to be right with you again. Now.
Where has my confidence go? It has to come from the Lord and I have failed to look upon Him.
As such, I pray that as I look towards you once again, get my feet up and set my dependence on you. Amen
