Isaiah 40:5 ‘ ‘And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.’

DAILY READING –  – Acts 15:1-21; Joshua 23-24; Job 32

January 1, each year was celebrated by black American slaves as the day of “The Great Jubilee;”. This was the day of their liberation from slavery.  On Jan 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln declared the Emancipation Proclamation. It was a document which proclaimed freedom to slaves, especially in the South of America. At that time there was war between the North and the South. And it was as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war that President Lincoln declared “that all persons held as slaves” within the rebellious states “are, and henceforward shall be free.”

The slaves on hearing the proclamation, knew a window of opportunity had been opened up to them and what happened next was up to them. They therefore risked all for freedom by abandoning their owners, arriving uninvited at Union army lines to join in the fight against slavery. These slaves offered themselves to serve as soldiers, laborers, guides spies etc. They knew their full freedom depended on Lincoln’s Union army winning the war and they did all they could to help ensure that. Over 200,000 black men served in the Union army in various capacities and in the end the union army did win and that brought an end to slavery in America. In the end no one was more responsible for smashing the shackles of slavery than the slaves themselves.

Isaiah 52:1-2 says Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city… Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.’

Indeed it is time for us to declare our jubilee and emancipation from every form of spiritual slavery. It is our season to be free from every shackle of shame and see God’s glory revealed. God has declared 2019 as our year to see His glory unveiled. And  today, by the blood of Jesus, we are stepping into this glorious season God has  preordained.

In Exodus 12, it was time for the Israelites to leave the shackles of slavery and walk into freedom. God used the blood of the lamb to separate them into their new season.  While the Egyptians wailed and cried because of the visitation of the angel of death, by the blood  of the lamb the Israelites were spared from the plague and separated into a season of glory and freedom from slavery.

Likewise, it doesn’t matter the gloom and doom that may be prevalent in the world, it is our season to see God’s glory unveiled. And today by the blood of Jesus we have been released from every shackle of shame into our season of glory.

Isaiah 40:5 says ‘And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.’.

Indeed it is the season for the Glory of The Lord to be revealed in us. It is time for us to arise and shine, for our light has come and the Glory of The Lord is risen upon us. God has reserved and preserved 2019 as the year to unveil His Glory in us. It will therefore be a year of divine suddenlies and inexplicable blessings. Things will be happening at a pace and rate men cannot understand or explain, because we have stepped into a season of culmination of Heaven’s agenda and alignment of divine purpose..

And we have to be sensitive to line up with God’s preordained purpose so that we do not miss His divine appointments.  Indeed it is a ‘make or break’ year, it is a definitive and pivotal year that requires a great degree of spiritual sensitivity. It will be a year of divine shifts, liftings, promotions and  amazing victories. But only those who are sensitive in the spirit will flow with what God will be doing. This is why we must freshly commit to a higher degree of Consecration. It takes men of the spirit to hear the voice of The Spirit. We must therefore commit to a lifestyle of fervent prayers and diligent studying of God’s Word. The more we look into The Word, the more we will be changed from glory to glory even as by the Spirit of The Lord. We have indeed stepped into a new season of unending glory. And throughout 2019 the journey shall be to us from glory to glory to glory…

PRAYER: Lord, I sincerely thank You for enabling me to crossover into this brand new year. What a joy to finally come into this season of unending glory. By Your grace I will not miss any of the divine appointments You have ordained for me this year in Jesus Name. ..
