Memory Verse: And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. Isaiah 2:2

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY: Isaiah 2:1-9 1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD. 6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers. 7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots: 8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: 9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.

MORE LESSON: Psalm 65:1-5 1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. 2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. 3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. 4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. 5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

Isaiah 2:2 says; And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. This verse is being fulfilled today because we are in the last days that will usher in the rapture of the saints and the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. God expects us, as His children, to do all it takes for the prophecy above to be fulfilled. Salvation experience that happens when we surrender our lives to God and accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour does not just make us citizens of Heaven but recruits us into the business of exalting God on the earth.

In Matthew 5:14,16, Jesus says: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid...Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. The questions for each of us as we ponder on these scriptures are: Since you gave your life to Christ, how have you been contributing to exalting the Lord's house on earth? What activities has the Lord led you to in order to establish His Kingdom in men's lives here on earth?

It is saddening that instead of spending time to intercede for God's work on earth, some of us are among those who tear it down by gossiping about God's servants and rumour mongering about God's people. The activities God expects you to be involved in to exalt His Kingdom on earth include: evangelism (Matthew 28:19-20) praying (Ephesians.6:18-19) giving, (Luke 6:38) using diverse God-given gifts as listed in Romans 12:6-8 and Ephesians 4:10-13.

May the prophetic scripture given in Isaiah 2:2 be fulfilled through you today and always. This is possible as you get involved in ushering in the Second Coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Prayer/Action

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: Better is the end of 2024 than the beginning thereof, in the fantastic name of Jesus.
