Ministering: Pastor Shola Awobajo
Text: Isaiah 61:1-7 – To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. [4] And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. 6] But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. [7] For your shame ye shall have double, and for confusion, they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land, they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
This text is our story before the end of this year in Jesus Name. You are not permitted to end this year empty. Upon Mount Zion, there shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possession – Obadiah 1:17. Exodus 3:21 says “And I will give these people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty.”
From our above text God was promising His People restoration and Double Portion for every lost virtue; Beauty for ashes, oil for Joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
The Glory of The Latter must surpass the former.
God has promised to restore every wasted year. God can go as back as our foundation and repair what needs to be fixed in order to change your story.
