Memorise: Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, the set time, is come. Psalm 102:13
Read: Isaiah 60:1-3 (KJV)
1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
Bible in one year: Numbers 14-15, Hymn: Sing hymn 90
Message:-
“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.”
Isaiah 60:1
There are two basic instructions in the passage above – Arise and Shine.
‘Arise’ could have different meanings to different people. To the dead, ‘arise’ could mean resurrect, for example, Jairus’ daughter in Mark 5:35-42.
From now on, anything dead in your life will arise in the mighty name of Jesus. To someone sleeping, it means to awake. If you have been sleeping spiritually, the Lord says “Arise!” To one who has been on one spot in your life will arise now in the mighty name of Jesus. To the person already moving, it means ‘increase in speed’. You many have been struggling to have just enough to pay the rent and eat. I command that as from today, struggling is over in your life; you will have more than enough to take care of your basic needs in the mighty name of Jesus.
To one already running, it means ‘fly.’ Those flying have left struggling behind. I decree, from now, you will fly in every area of your life. To the person already flying, ‘arise’ means to move from great heights to greater heights.
I decree that your breakthrough will be a wonder to all those who hear it. You will experience a level of greatness that only a few people have ever experienced in the mighty name of Jesus.
The second instruction in Isaiah 60:1 is to shine. To shine means to show your light. Matthew 5:14-16 says you are the light of the world. God wants you to use your talents for His glory.
Whatever you do, wherever you are and whoever you are, ensure you make an impact to the glory of God. Help those around you, console the broken-hearted, preach the gospel to sinners, heal the sick and raise the dead. It is possible. This is God’s will for you. Arise and shine!
Prayer Point: Lord, let nothing dim my light in the mighty name of Jesus.
