Revelation of the Word:

THEME: BUILD

Isaiah 65:21-24 NKJV

“They shall build houses and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. They shall not build and another inhabit; They shall not plant and another eat; For as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people, And My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labor in vain, Nor bring forth children for trouble; For they shall be the descendants of the blessed of the Lord, And their offspring with them. “It shall come to pass That before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear.”

INSIGHT

-Build in Hebrew is written as Banah and it means to establish. Build therefore brings out the aspect of incremental steps to establish. It is God’s design that His children keep building up, disregarding the circumstances that they encounter. In Exodus 14:15, God instructed the Israelites to keep going forward even as the continually cried to Him. We encounter various challenges in life including; personal issues, relational challenges, economic challenges, increasing prices of commodities and taxation levels, bad governance, family issues, work related challenges, low pay and discrimination at work, family issues, a perception to delay in response to prayers, etc. Psalms 34:19 reminds us that many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers them out of them all. God calls us to focus on Him and not be discouraged by life situations by looking at the negative side. He reminds us to build houses and inhabit them, plant vineyards and eat their fruit, for He has blessed us. God calls us to keep moving forward for He is our God, He is with us, He answers us before we call, and nothing is difficult for Him.
