BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 26-27
READ: Genesis 26:1-4
1
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a
throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
2
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he
covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain
he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy,
holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4
And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and
the house was filled with smoke.
5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I
am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the
midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King,
the Lord of hosts
7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

MEMORISE:
“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me." -Isaiah 6:8
THE MESSAGE:
“Let
there be light” could mean, “Lord, after you have shown me the
solution to my problem, teach me how to help others also” or simply
“Lord, use me for Your glory”.
A life that does not serve a
divine purpose is a wasted life and would have no recompense in the
hereafter. Jesus Christ clearly said: And, behold, I come quickly,
and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work
shall be. Revelation 22:12
The reason we were not taken to
heaven the very day we gave our lives to Christ is so that we may be
useful and not only serve the purpose of our creation and redemption,
but be handsomely rewarded by our Father in heaven.

When
darkness fills a person’s life, such a fellow will lead a
purposeless and unprofitable life. A lesson we must learn from
Prophet Isaiah in our Bible reading today is that the moment the
light of God shone upon him and he was shown his imperfection by
God’s grace, he surrendered himself to be used of God.
Also I
heard the voice of the Lord, saying Whom shall I send, and who will
go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. – (Isaiah
6:8).
Joseph is another classic example of someone who, after the
light of God shone upon him, served God’s purpose for his life
consciously. Like Joseph, all children of God must seek to discover
His unique purpose for their lives and pursue it vigorously (Genesis
50:19-20).

Beloved,
when the light of God shines upon your life, you will see the
importance of Mark 16:17,18 and you will earnestly pray for
the fulfilment of the Lord’s promise in Acts 1:8 over
your life. God has already prepared a glorious future ahead for all
His children through Christ (Colossians 1:27). Ensure you
do not miss out on this by yielding your life entirely over to the
Light-Jesus Christ and live according to His purpose for your life.
God bless
PRAYER POINT
Father,
please let Your light shine upon my life and help me fulfil my divine
purpose, in the mighty name of Jesus.
DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
