ISAIAH 45
Key Verse: Isaiah 45:22 “Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.”
Are you stressed and discouraged by the doom and gloom of what’s happening in this world? Call and look to God as He shall be our answer and hope in life!
Isaiah 45:23 “I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.”
1. God is my Promise
Isaiah 45:23 “I have sworn by myself,…”
Have you ever experience the time when someone you trust most, break his words and promises, and disappoint and hurt you deeply? Many times, man’s words and promises are just words and promises, as man seldom keeps them. However, praise be to God, He keeps His Word and promises and never fails nor disappoints us!
2. God is my Righteousness
V23 “I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return,…”
In this time and age, where evil and wickedness prevail, it is very difficult to find righteousness, even among Christian circles. Man has been indulging in sins, evil and unrighteousness, as we witness the rising crimes, deceits, immorality, etc., committed in recent years. However, praise be to God, His righteousness prevails in the realm of unrighteousness.
3. God is my Lord
V23 “I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.”
Man may not believe God but in other gods and religions that they think can offer them hope, peace and salvation. However, one day, man shall realize that there is the God of heaven, who is the only true and living God! One day, everyone, be they rich or poor, famous or unknown, city or tribal people of the ends of the earth, shall bow their knees and confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord! Let us call and look to God and believe in Him and be saved from the fiery pits of hell to the pearly portals of heaven!
Isaiah 45:22 “Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.”
Prayer of the Week
God, I believe that You are God and there is none else!
