Topic: NOW
Isa.43.19 – Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Jeremiah in his book, Lamentations spoke of God’s mercies as ever new every morning. That means every morning his mercy is renewed, when you wake up each day you have a new mercy to walk you through that day it doesn’t matter what I did the previous day all that matters is it’s a new day and a new mercy. David boldly declared goodness and mercy shall follow me but most interesting is God’s testimony in Isaiah “I will do a new thing (Now) it shall spring forth. as I sat back and probed the importance, integrity and function of this word in the sentence, the holy spirit blew my mind.
First in the previous verse he said forget ye the former thing and don’t consider the things of old. Why? Because I want to do a new thing. When? NOW yes of course he is, Alpha and Omega but he is not interested in your yesterday. Your success of yesterday does not impress him, your failures of yesterday does not make him feel bad. Why because he is too excited about NOW. too involved in what he is working out for you in the now, too committed in his program for you in the NOW to think about you failures of yesterday or drink to your success of yesterday. And he expect you to quit mourning the lose of yesterday, put an end to the celebration of yesterday’s success and BEHOLD the “NOW”
When Mtn came to Nigeria they introduced the per minute billing but Glo came with the per seconds billing which really did work well and so was widely embraced. why? Because we live our lives on a per seconds billing. A normal heart beats rate is 60-100 beat per minute a well rested heart is between 40&50 beats per minute so let’s say the heart beats in seconds. So we live our lives on a per seconds billing every seconds of your life counts and every breath you take is an opportunity for a new thing. Hallelujah.
See you tomorrow as we continue with this teaching. But never forget that every breath, every single heart beat, is God at work engineering and bringing about something new. Shalom!
