TEXT: ISAIAH 42:1-12
MEMORY VERSE: “Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.” Isaiah 42:10 KJV
0 And the apostles, when they had returned, told Him all that they had done. Then He took them and went aside privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. 11 But when the multitudes knew it, they followed Him; and He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing. 12 When the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to Him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding towns and country, and lodge and get provisions; for we are in a deserted place ”
For every new miracle experienced, there is a corresponding new song to celebrate it. Whenever a new height is attained, a new praise is composed. To encounter a new testimony is to dance a new dance.
Our text confirms that God brought to an end the former things. He literally ended the old era and ushered us into the new things (Isaiah 42:9). The meaning of this is that every old thing that put tears in your eyes is ended. The old era of shame, reproach, sorrow, disappointment and depression are all ended. God has decided to put to an end the old season of failure, sickness, oppression, lack, and limitation forever. Indeed, whatever was in your life that gave you sleepless night, the Lord assures that it is ended forever. You will not experience it again.
Joyfully, God has replaced the old things with NEW THINGS. Hence, the admonition that we should sing a new song. We speak to you today, that it is a new dawn for you. It marks your new beginning. Go and celebrate the wonders and goodness of God upon your life. The heights you could not reach before, go now and make exploits. The testimonies you could not share before, the Lord has put them in your mouth. Congratulation and welcome to a world of NEW THINGS AND NEW SONG.
- Believe God’s word and start singing the new song unto God today.
- Father, thank you for putting an end to my old experiences and giving me a new experience. Lord fill my mouth with new songs, in Jesus Name.
