Theme: The Crown of Glory in Travailing
Text: Isaiah 66:5-11

Memory Verse ~ Isaiah 66:7-9

7 “Before she was in labor, she gave birth; Before her pain came, She delivered a male child. 8 Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?
Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to her children.
9 Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the Lord.
“Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God.

Serving God among people who do not see the essence in doing so can be very disheartening. Usually they make fun of God thinking they're making fun of you. Don't be discouraged take heart for the Lord has taken notice of their evil doing and will put them to shame. It is not for you to fight or wage war, but keep doing the right thing for the Lord will prevail mightily in your life.

When the mercies of God locates you, those gossips who claim you'll amount to nothing will proclaim aloud the Lord has really blessed you. Your blessings shall be signs and wonders to your mockers. Before your labour;  the job interview, the medical or educational results, the promotion, school admission (just fix your expectations) the Lord will give you victory. Blessings that eyes have not seen nor the ears heard, will locate you if you hold on to the Lord. What took others years to labour for can take you just a second because God's glory is speaking in your life. Beloved scream aloud; as soon as Zion travail, she begot her children so will you also begot every testimony you're pregnant with. The Lord will make it happen.

The verse nine asked the questions, shall the Lord bring to the time of birth and not cause to delivery? Or shall He who cause delivery shout up the womb? Never, the Lord who has began the process will surely bring it to a beautiful and expected end. The joy of the Lord will be your strength. Grace abounds and will go before you in all things. Do not give up keep trusting God.

Prayer:  Give me the wings of faith to rise within the veil, and see the saints above, how great their joys, how bright their glories be. AMEN!

CHARACTER STUDY ~ APOLLOS

-
Apollos means "one who destroys or a destroyer". He was a New Testament figure who steadily grew to become a servant of Jesus through ministry. He was a staunch Jew.  Some Characteristics of Apollos: √ Apollos was endowed with great knowledge and was very outspoken. In his line of ministry, he exhibited understanding of the old canon and delivered its message boldly.  √ Despite Apollos's eloquence and knowledge, he was only vexed in the baptism of John without the knowledge that the prophecy about the Messiah had already been fulfilled. John’s baptism was the baptism unto repentance: An act of confession and turning from sin which anticipated the coming of the Messiah. Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

What inhibits you determines what comes out of you. The two elements are light and darkness. The light within produces good, whereas darkness is evil. It is recorded in  Ephesians 5:8-9 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good, right, and true.  Declare, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, I no longer walk in darkness but rather in light. Therefore, every product of darkness within and around me is extinct. I decree that my family and I live in light, and we enjoy what the light produces in fullness. Our deeds are good, right, and true. AMEN!"
