The Year of the Lord's favor
Isaiah 61: 1 - 11
The Year of the Lord’s Favor
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,[a]
2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.

4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations.
5 Strangers will shepherd your flocks;
foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
6 And you will be called priests of the Lord,
you will be named ministers of our God.
You will feed on the wealth of nations,
and in their riches you will boast.

you will receive a double portion,

you will rejoice in your inheritance.
And so you will inherit a double portion in your land,
and everlasting joy will be yours.

8 “For I, the Lord, love justice;
I hate robbery and wrongdoing.
In my faithfulness I will reward my people
and make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Their descendants will be known among the nations
and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge
that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”

10 I delight greatly in the Lord;
my soul rejoices in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness
and praise spring up before all nations.

The Lord delivers
The Lord delivers the righteous person from all troubles.
Some may say, but I am not a righteous person. If
you are a child of God, you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior,
then you are made righteous through Him.
Now that you are okay with this and accepts this,
you may also know that the Lord will deliver you from all your troubles. You
win again through Christ.
Take note: It says from ALL your troubles. Not some,
not one or two, but all. Yay!! Thank you Lord for helping me and delivering me
from all my troubles.
Bible verses: Psalm 34:15 - 19
15The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
16 but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to blot out their name from the earth.
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
16 but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to blot out their name from the earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
19 The righteous person may have many troubles,
but the Lord delivers him from them all;
but the Lord delivers him from them all;
Prayer:
Lord I come to you to seek your
face and your forgiveness. I am sorry for that I have done, please forgive me
as I forgive those who trespassed against me. I know that your eyes are on me and
that I am not righteous on my own, but I am righteous because of Your Son
Jesus, who died on the cross and was raised from the dead to overcome sin for
me. Now that Jesus is alive I can live too. Thank you Lord Jesus. Bless you!!
As a righteous person I now declare and decree that the Lord delivers me from
all my troubles. In the mighty name of Jesus. Amen!

Easter
Easter weekend
Matthew 26:26-28
26 While
they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and
eat; this is my body.”
27 Then he
took a cup, and when
he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink
from it, all of you. 28 This is my
blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
This weekend, when we eat the bread and drink the blood,
we celebrate the crucifixion of our Lord, Jesus the Christ, the Son of the
living God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
There is no other God like Him. He is the only living
God, the only forgiving God, the only loving God and the only God who created
us in His image. We can win again through Him, because we are his children. In
fact we are heirs to His Kingdom.
No matter your circumstances today, He loves you and He
wants something better for you and me. This is our chance to make right with
Him, to draw closer to Him and to renew our covenant with Him.
Let us not eat and drink unless we stand to forgive those
who trespassed against us. He taught us to pray to Him to forgive us, but there
is a condition – as we forgive those who trespassed against us. Brothers and sisters
in Christ, I urge you to do this now.
If we are forgiving those people then we are doing the
will of God and He will heal us, He will restore us, our relationships, our
health, our finances and everything else we ask Him for.
Prayer:
Dear heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus
and I ask your forgiveness as I forgive ……… who trespassed against me. I pray
that You will set ……. free and I set him/her free too. I shall no longer hold
anything against that person. Lord I pray that you will restore me, my
relationship(s), my health, my finances and my ……. .
The Lord promised to restore to you and me seven fold
what the enemy has stolen from us. Hallelujah!!! Thank you Lord!!
If you have prayed this prayer, belief that He has
forgiven you and that He will restore what you asked for and it will be done
for you.
Now go
ahead and take bread, break it and eat it as the body of Christ that was broken
for you and me. Take red grape juice and drink it as the blood of Christ that
was shed on the cross for forgiveness of your and my sins.
