THE GOOD TIDINGS

MEMORISE: ‘And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down ad to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD. (Jer 31:28)
READ: Isaiah 61: 1- 3

The four lepers went to the gates of Samaria to deliver good tidings to the people. The message was that the siege was over. By God’s grace I bring you this message today, that the siege of the forces of darkness over your body and your health is over. Satan’s siege over your womb is over. The siege over your finances and business is over. The siege over your academic future is over.

In 1 Samuel 17:11, we are told that super-strong Goliath terrorized the nation of Israel. When he spoke, the whole of Israel shook and were sorely dismayed – their faith was broken into pieces. But when David confronted Goliath in the Name of the Lord, and killed him with one stone, the people thought it was only a joke. But David cut off his head and the nation rejoiced, because their siege was over.

Now that your siege is over, the eagle can fly again. God has made us eagles with tremendous potential. If the siege trimmed off your wings, you can have a replacement and begin to soar above the heights. God has made some of us very great. People should be coming to us for help. But because of the siege, we have been the ones begging. Now that the siege is over, we shall beg no more.

God has broken the siege over your life. This is the time to arise and begin to possess ‘the land’. It is also a time for restoration. Those good things you lost during the siege can be restored to you as you call on the Lord. If you have lost loved ones in the Lord, the news is that it is not too late, because Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life. He will raise them up on Resurrection morning. Those believers who have gone before us are presently attending Jesus Christ’s bachelor party, waiting for the marriage supper of the Lamb, when we will all be officially wed to our Lord. See you there! But meanwhile, enjoy your freedom from the siege.

ACTION POINT
Now that the siege is over, begin to realize
your potential for the benefit of those around you.
