TOPIC: THE END OF BARRENESS
TEXT: Isa 12:3
With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.
LESSONS
The emptiness of man that daily confronts him began from the fall till now. COVID is part of the manifestations of loss of control of man over his environment.
There is an inertia within and forces of world system without. Hence, man could not dominate his environment as ordained. The weakness is daily palpable. Even trees and animals with less care seem healthier than some men. All these produces lack of productivity beyond comprehension. This is what causes barreness in man.
It is not possible for such a man to do anything for God. The answer to this challenge is found in Christ and is expressible as Grace. John 1:14-16 tells us that Christ came with Truth and Grace.
Truth reveals our true condition and Grace fills us up so that we can therefore say, I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me( Phil 4:13).
Faith and Grace are companions. Never struggle with the reality of the emptiness of self so you can walk in the fullness of Grace.
This is a call to receive the empowerment that produces effect required by divine instruction. What is the will of God for you? How are you finding expression of them? What values are you adding to the kingdom? Is the world feeling your impact? Is your need bending you down? Grace by faith is the answer. It will open your eyes and direct your feet.
PRAYER ALERT
Thank you father for the grace that makes me productive as your representative on this earth. I hereby speak abilities and no more weakness in Jesus name!
