THe Role of compassion



Lack of Compassion exposed

Nehemiah 5:1-4



Nehemiah Stops Oppression



1 (Isa 5:7) Now there was a great outcry of the people

and their wives against their fellow Jews.

2 Some were saying, "We and our sons and our daughters are many.

Therefore, let us acquire grain so that we may eat and live."

3 Others were saying, "We have mortgaged our fields, vineyards,

and houses so that we might acquire grain because of hunger."

4 (Ezr 4:13; 4:20) Still others were saying, "We have borrowed money

for the king's tribute against the value of our fields and vineyards.



[1] And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their

brethren the Jews.

[2] For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many:

therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live.

[3] Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards,

and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.

[4] There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's

tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards.



Proverbs 31:8-9



8 (Ps 82:3-4) Open your mouth for the speechless

in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.

9 (Lev 19:15; Dt 1:16) Open your mouth, judge righteously,

and plead the cause of the poor and needy.



[8] Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are

appointed to destruction.

[9] Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and

needy.



Zechariah 7:10



10 (Ps 21:11; 72:4) Do not oppress the widow, orphan, sojourner, or poor.

And let none of you contemplate evil deeds in your hearts against his brother.



10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the

poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.



1 John 3:18



18 (1Jn 2:1; Ro 12:9) My little children, let us love not in word

and speech, but in action and truth.



[18] My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in

deed and in truth.

Lack of Compassion Challenged



6 (Ex 11:8) I was very angry when I heard their outcry and these words.

7 (Ex 22:25; Lev 25:36) So I contemplated about this for myself and,

as a result, I rebuked the nobles and officials and said to them,

"Based on the claim of each against his brother, you are exacting usury."

Then I convened a great assembly against them,

8 (Lev 25:47-49) and I said to them, "By whatever means we had,

we purchased our Jewish countrymen who were being sold to the nations.

So, will you once more sell your countrymen so that they might again be

sold to us?" Then they kept silent, because they found nothing to answer.

9 (Lev 25:36; 2Sa 12:14) Also I said, "What you are doing is not good!

Should not you walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach

of the nations, our enemies?

10 Moreover, I, my relatives, and my servants are loaning them money

and grain. So, I urge you, cease from this practice of usury.

11 (Isa 58:6) Please restore to them, even this day, their fields,

their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses,

along with a hundredth part of the money, the grain, the wine,

and the oil that you had exacted from them."



[6] And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.

[7] Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers,

and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a

great assembly against them.

[8] And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren

the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your

brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and

found nothing to answer.

[9] Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear

of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?

[10] I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money

and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury.

[11] Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their

vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the the hundredth part

of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.



Lack of Compassion Addressed



12 (Ezr 10:5) Then they said, "We will restore it and will require

nothing of them. We will do what you have said."

Then I called the priests and made them swear an oath to keep this promise.

13 (Ac 18:6; 1Ch 16:36) Also I shook out the front of my garment and said,

"Like this, may God shake out every man from his house and from his labor

who does not carry out this promise. Exactly like this, may he be shaken out

and emptied."

And all the congregation said, "Amen," and praised the Lord.

And the people did according to this promise.



[12] Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them;

so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of

them, that they should do according to this promise.

[13] Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his

house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be

he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised

the LORD. And the people did according to this promise.



No Lack of Compassion



Nehemiah's Generosity



14 (Ne 13:6; 2:1) Moreover from the time that I was appointed

to be their governor in the land of Judah

(from the twentieth year even until the 32nd year of King Artaxerxes)

twelve years had passed. And my companions and I had not eaten

the governor's food allotment.

15 (Ne 5:9; Job 31:23) The former governors preceding me had extracted

a heavy burden on the people, because they took from them food and wine,

besides forty shekels

[About 1 pound, or 460 grams.] of silver. Moreover, even their servants

domineered over the people. But I myself never did so, because of the fear

of God.

16 Furthermore, I stayed determined in the work on this wall.

We bought no field, and all my servants were gathered there for the sake

of the work.

17 (1Ki 18:19; 2Sa 9:7) Moreover there were regularly at my table 150 Jews

and officials, besides those who came to us from the nations around us.

18 (1Ki 4:22-23) Daily there were one ox and six choice sheep prepared for me.

Fowls were also prepared for me. Once in ten days all sorts of wine were

supplied in abundance. Yet for all this, I never required the governor's

food allotment because it was a heavy burden on this people.

19 (Ne 13:14; 13:22) Remember me, O my God, for good, according to all

that I have done for this people.



[14] Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the

land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year

of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not

eaten the bread of the governor.

[15] But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto

the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of

silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not

I, because of the fear of God.

[16] Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any

land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work.

[17] Moreover there were at my table an hundred and fifty of the Jews and

rulers, beside those that came unto us from among the heathen that are about

us.

[18] Now that which was prepared for me daily was one ox and six choice

sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all

sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor,

because the bondage was heavy upon this people.

[19] Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for

this people.



Luke 10:27



27 (Lev 19:18; Dt 6:5; Mt 19:19) He answered, " 'You shall love the Lord

your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,

and with all your strength, and with all your mind' (Dt 6:5.)

and 'your neighbor as yourself.'(Lev 19:18)."



[27] And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy

heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy

mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.





1) Isaiah 59, 60, 61, 62, 63



Isaiah 59, 60, 61, 62, 63



Isaiah 59

The Consequence of Sin

1 (Nu 11:23; Isa 50:2) Certainly, the hand of the Lord is not

so short that it cannot save,

nor is His ear so dull that it cannot hear.

2 (Isa 50:1; Jer 5:25) But your iniquities have made a separation between

you and your God,

and your sins have hidden His face from you

so that He will not hear.

3 (Isa 1:15; 1:21) For your hands are defiled with blood

and your fingers with iniquity;

your lips have spoken lies,

your tongue has muttered perverseness.

4 (Job 15:35; Isa 30:12) No one calls for justice,

nor does anyone plead for truth.

They trust in vanity and speak lies;

they conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity.

5 They hatch adders' eggs

and weave the spider's web;

he who eats of their eggs dies,

and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.

6 (Isa 57:12; Jer 6:7) Their webs shall not become garments,

nor shall they cover themselves with their works;

their works are works of iniquity,

and an act of violence is in their hands.

7 (Pr 1:16; 6:17) Their feet run to evil,

and they make haste to shed innocent blood;

their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;

devastation and destruction are in their paths.

8 (Lk 1:79; Isa 48:22) The way of peace they do not know,

and there is no justice in their ways;

they have made their paths crooked;

whoever walks in them does not know peace.



The Confession of Sin



9 (Isa 5:30) Therefore, justice is far from us,

nor does righteousness overtake us;

we wait for light, but there is darkness,

for brightness, but we walk in gloom.

10 (Dt 28:29; Job 5:14) We grope along the wall like the blind,

and we grope as if we had no eyes;

we stumble at noonday as in the night;

among those who are vigorous, we are as dead men.

11 (Isa 38:14; Eze 7:16) We all roar like bears

and mourn sadly like doves;

we look for justice, but there is none;

for salvation, but it is far from us.

12 (Ezr 9:6; Jer 14:7) For our transgressions are multiplied before You,

and our sins testify against us;

for our transgressions are with us.

And as for our iniquities, we know them:

13 (Mk 7:21-22) transgressing, and lying against the Lord,

and departing away from our God,

speaking oppression and revolt,

conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

14 (Hab 1:4 )Justice is turned backward,

and righteousness stands far off;

for truth is fallen in the street,

and equity cannot enter.

15Truth is lacking,

and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.

The Redeemer of Zion

Then the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him

that there was no justice.

16 (Ps 98:1; Isa 52:10) He saw that there was no man

and was astonished that there was no intercessor;

therefore, His own arm brought salvation to Him,

and His righteousness sustained Him.

17 (Isa 9:7; Eph 6:14 ) For He put on righteousness as a breastplate

and a helmet of salvation on His head;

He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing

and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

18 (Isa 63:6; Job 34:11) According to their deeds,

accordingly He will repay:

fury to His adversaries,

recompense to His enemies;

to the islands He will make recompense.

19 (Ps 113:3; Isa 49:12) So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west

and His glory from the rising of the sun;

when the enemy shall come in like a flood,

the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.

20 (Ro 11:26-27; Eze 18:30-31) The Redeemer shall come to Zion

and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,

says the Lord.

21 (Isa 51:16; Jer 31:31-34) As for Me, this is My covenant with them,

says the Lord: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have

put in your mouth shall not depart out of your mouth,

nor out of the mouth of your descendants, nor out of the mouth

of your descendants' descendants, says the Lord,

from this time forth and forever.



Isaiah 59

[1] Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither

his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

[2] But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your

sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

[3] For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity;

your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

[4] None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in

vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

[5] They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth

of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

[6] Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover

themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act

of violence is in their hands.

[7] Their feet run to evil, and they make hast to shed innocent blood: their

thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.

[8] The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their

goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not

know peace.

[9] Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we

wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in

darkness.

[10] We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no

eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places as

dead men.

[11] We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for

judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.

[12] For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify

against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities,

we know them;

[13] In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from

our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the

heart words of falsehood.

[14] And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off:

for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.

[15] Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a

prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no

judgment.

[16] And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no

intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his

righteousness, it sustained him.

[17] For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of

salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for

clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.

[18] According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his

adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay

recompence.

[19] So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory

from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the

Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

[20] And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from

transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

[21] As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit

that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not

depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the

mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.



Isaiah 60

The Glory of Zion

1 (Eph 5:8; 5:14) Arise, shine, for your light has come,

and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.

2 For the darkness shall cover the earth

and deep darkness the peoples;

but the Lord shall rise upon you,

and His glory shall be seen upon you.

3 (Isa 49:23; 45:14; Rev 21:24) The nations shall come to your light

and kings to the brightness of your rising.

4 (Isa 49:18; 49:20-22) Lift up your eyes all around, and see:

They all gather themselves together; they come to you;

your sons shall come from afar,

and your daughters shall be carried at your side.

5 (Isa 61:6; 23:18) Then you shall see and be radiant,

and your heart shall thrill and rejoice

because the abundance of the sea shall be converted to you,

the wealth of the nations shall come to you.

6 (Ps 72:10; Mt 2:11) The multitude of camels shall cover your land,

the young camels of Midian and Ephah;

all those from Sheba shall come;

they shall bring gold and incense

and shall bear good news of the praises of the Lord.

7 (Ge 25:13; Isa 56:7) All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together

to you, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you;

they shall come up with acceptance on My altar,

and I will glorify My glorious house.

8 Who are these who fly as a cloud

and as the doves to their roosts?

9 (Isa 2:16; 55:5) Surely the coastlands shall wait for Me,

and the ships of Tarshish shall come first,

to bring your sons from afar,

their silver and their gold with them,

to the name of the Lord your God

and to the Holy One of Israel

because He has glorified you.

10 (Isa 49:23; Zec 6:15) The sons of foreigners shall build up your walls,

and their kings shall minister to you;

for in My wrath I struck you,

but in My favor I have had mercy on you.

11 (Isa 60:5; Rev 21:25-26) Therefore, your gates shall be open continually;

they shall not be shut day nor night,

so that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations,

and that their kings may be brought.

12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish,

and those nations shall be utterly destroyed.

13 (Isa 35:2; 1Ch 28:2) The glory of Lebanon shall come to you,

the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box tree together,

to beautify the place of My sanctuary;

and I will make the place of My feet glorious.

14 (Isa 49:23; Rev 3:9) The sons also of those who afflicted you shall come

bowing before you,

and all those who despised you shall bow themselves down

at the soles of your feet;

and they shall call you, The City of the Lord,

the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

15 (Isa 65:18; Jer 30:17) Whereas you have been forsaken

and hated so that no man went through you,

I will make you an eternal excellency,

a joy of many generations.

16 (Isa 49:23; 66:11-12) You shall also suck the milk of the nations

and suck the breast of kings;

then you shall know that I, the Lord, am your Savior

and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

17 Instead of bronze I will bring gold,

and instead of iron I will bring silver;

and instead of wood, bronze;

and instead of stones, iron.

I will also make your officers peace

and your exactors righteousness.

18 (Isa 26:1; 11:9) Violence shall no more be heard in your land,

nor devastation or destruction within your borders;

but you shall call your walls Salvation

and your gates Praise.

19 (Rev 21:23; 22:5) The sun shall no longer be your light by day,

nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you;

but the Lord shall be an everlasting light to you

and your God for your glory.

20 (Isa 35:10; Rev 21:4) Your sun shall no more go down,

nor shall your moon wane;

for the Lord shall be your everlasting light,

and the days of your mourning shall end.

21 (Ps 37:11; 37:22) Then all your people shall be righteous;

they shall inherit the land forever,

the branch of My planting,

the work of My hands,

that I may be glorified.

22 (Hab 2:3) A little one shall become a thousand,

and a small one a strong nation.

I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.



Isaiah 60

[1] Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen

upon thee.

[2] For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the

people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen

upon thee.

[3] And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of

thy rising.

[4] Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves

together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters

shall be nursed at thy side.

[5] Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and

be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee,

the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.

[6] The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and

Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense;

and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.

[7] All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams

of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on

mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.

[8] Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?

[9] Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to

bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the

name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath

glorified thee.

[10] And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings

shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour

have I had mercy on thee.

[11] Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut

day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and

that their kings may be brought.

[12] For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea,

those nations shall be utterly wasted.

[13] The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree,

and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make

the place of my feet glorious.

[14] The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee;

and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of

thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the

Holy One of Israel.

[15] Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through

thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.

[16] Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the

breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy

Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

[17] For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for

wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and

thine exactors righteousness.

[18] Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction

within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates

Praise.

[19] The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall

the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an

everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

[20] Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself:

for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning

shall be ended.

[21] Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for

ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be

glorified.

[22] A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation:

I the LORD will hasten it in his time.



Isaiah 61

The Lord's Favour



1 (Ps 45:7; Isa 42:7) The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me

because the Lord has anointed me

to preach good news to the poor;

He has sent me to heal the broken-hearted,

to proclaim liberty to the captives,

and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

2 (Isa 34:8; 57:18) to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord

and the day of vengeance of our God;

to comfort all who mourn,

3 (Ps 45:7; 23:5) to preserve those who mourn in Zion,

to give to 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 (Isa 58:12) They shall build the old ruins;

they shall raise up the former desolations,

and they shall repair the waste cities,

the desolations of many generations.

5 (Isa 14:1-2) Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,

and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

6 (Ex 19:6; Isa 66:21) But you shall be named the priests of the Lord;

men shall call you the ministers of our God.

You shall eat the riches of the nations,

and in their glory you shall boast.

7 (Isa 40:2; Zec 9:12) Instead of your shame

you shall have double honor,

and instead of humiliation

they shall rejoice over their portion.

Therefore, in their land they shall possess a double portion;

everlasting joy shall be theirs.

8 (Isa 55:3; Ps 11:7) For I, the Lord, love justice,

I hate robbery in the burnt offering;

and I will faithfully give them their recompense

and make an everlasting covenant with them.

9 (Isa 44:3) Their descendants shall be known among the nations

and their offspring among the peoples.

All who see them shall acknowledge them

because they are the descendants whom the Lord has blessed.

10 (Rev 21:2; Isa 49:18; 52:1) I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,

my soul shall be joyful in my God;

for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,

He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,

as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,

and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

11 (Ps 85:11; Isa 60:18) For as the earth brings forth her buds,

and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth,

so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise

to spring forth before all the nations.



Isaiah 61

[1] The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me

to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the

brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the

prison to them that are bound;

[2] To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of

our God; to comfort all that mourn;

[3] 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.

[5] And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the

alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

[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.

[8] For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I

will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant

with them.

[9] And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring

among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are

the seed which the LORD hath blessed.

[10] I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God;

for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me

with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with

ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

[11] For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the

things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause

righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.



Isaiah 62

The Salvation of Zion

1 (Pr 4:18; Isa 62:6-7) For the sake of Zion I will not keep silent,

and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not rest

until her righteousness goes forth as brightness

and her salvation as a lamp that burns.

2 (Isa 62:4; 62:12) The nations shall see your righteousness,

and all kings your glory.

And you shall be called by a new name,

which the mouth of the Lord shall name.

3 (Zec 9:16; 1Th 2:19) You shall also be a crown of glory

in the hand of the Lord

and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

4 (Jer 32:41; Zep 3:17) You shall no more be termed Forsaken,

nor shall your land be termed Desolate;

but you shall be called My Delight Is In Her,

and your land Married;

for the Lord delights in you,

and your land shall be married.

5 (Isa 65:19) For as a young man marries a virgin,

so your sons shall marry you;

and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,

so your God shall rejoice over you.

6 (Isa 52:8; Ps 74:2) I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem,

who shall never hold their peace day nor night.

You who remind the Lord,

do not keep silent;

7 (Jer 33:9; Zep 3:19-20 ) give Him no rest until He establishes

and makes Jerusalem a glory in the earth.

8 (Dt 28:33; Jer 5:17) The Lord has sworn by His right hand

and by His strong arm:

Surely I will no longer give your grain

as food for your enemies;

and the sons of the foreigners shall not drink your wine

for which you have labored.

9 (Dt 12:12) But those who have gathered it shall eat it

and praise the Lord;

and those who have brought it shall drink it

in the courts of My sanctuary.

10 (Isa 57:14; 49:22) Go through, go through the gates.

Prepare the way of the people;

build up, build up the highway.

Remove the stones;

lift up a standard over the peoples.

11 (Zec 9:9; Mt 21:5; Rev 22:12) The Lord has proclaimed

to the ends of the earth:

Say to the daughter of Zion,

"See, your salvation comes;

see, His reward is with Him,

and His recompense before Him."

12 (Isa 62:4; 35:9) They shall call them The Holy People,

the Redeemed of the Lord;

and you shall be called Sought Out,

a City Not Forsaken.



Isaiah 62

[1] For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I

will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and

the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.

[2] And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory:

and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall

name.

[3] Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal

diadem in the hand of thy God.

[4] Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more

be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land

Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

[5] For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and

as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over

thee.

[6] I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold

their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not

silence,

[7] And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a

praise in the earth.

[8] The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength,

Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the

sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast

laboured:

[9] But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and

they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my

holiness.

[10] Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people;

cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for

the people.

[11] Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to

the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is

with him, and his work before him.

[12] And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD:

and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.



Isaiah 63

The Revenge of God

1 (Ps 137:7; Isa 34:5-6) "Who is this who comes from Edom

with dyed garments from Bozrah?

This one who is glorious in His apparel,

traveling in the greatness of His strength?"

"It is I who speak in righteousness,

mighty to save."

2 "Why is Your apparel red,

and Your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?"

3 (Mic 7:10) "I have trodden the winepress alone;

and from the peoples there was no one with Me.

For I will tread them in My anger,

and trample them in My fury,

and their blood shall be sprinkled upon My garments,

and I will stain all My raiment.

4 (Isa 34:8; 35:4) For the day of vengeance is in My heart,

and My year of redemption has come.

5 (Ps 44:3; 98:1) I looked and there was no one to help,

and I was astonished, and there was no one to uphold;

therefore, My own arm brought salvation to Me;

and My fury upheld Me.

6 (Isa 49:26) I will tread down the peoples in My anger

and make them drunk in My fury,

and I will pour out their lifeblood on the earth."



The Mercy of God Remembered



7 (Ps 51:1; Eph 2:4 ) I will mention the steadfast love of the Lord

and the praises of the Lord,

according to all that the Lord has bestowed on us,

and the great goodness toward the house of Israel,

which He has bestowed on them

according to His mercy,

and according to the multitude of His kindnesses.

8 (Ex 6:7; Isa 12:2) For He said, "Surely they are My people,

sons who will not lie."

So He became their Savior.

9 (Dt 7:7-8; Ex 33:14) In all their affliction He was afflicted,

and the angel of His presence saved them;

in His love and in His mercy He redeemed them;

and He lifted them and carried them

all the days of old.

10 (Ps 78:40; Ac 7:51) But they rebelled

and grieved His Holy Spirit;

therefore, He turned Himself to be their enemy,

and He fought against them.

11 (Nu 11:17; Ex 14:30) Then His people remembered the days of old,

of Moses, saying:

Where is He who brought them up out of the sea

with the shepherds of His flock?

Where is He who put

His Holy Spirit in their midst,

12 (Ex 15:16; Jos 3:16) who led them with His glorious arm

by the right hand of Moses,

dividing the water before them,

to make Himself an everlasting name,

13 who led them through the deep,

as a horse in the wilderness,

that they should not stumble?

14 (Jos 23:1; Isa 63:12) As the cattle which go down into the valley,

the Spirit of the Lord caused them to rest,

so You led Your people,

to make Yourself a glorious name.



Isaiah 63

[1] Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this

that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his

strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

[2] Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that

treadeth in the winefat?

[3] I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none

with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury;

and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my

raiment.

[4] For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed

is come.

[5] And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was

none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my

fury, it upheld me.

[6] And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in

my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.

[7] I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the

LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great

goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them

according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his

lovingkindnesses.

[8] For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so

he was their Saviour.

[9] In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence

saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them,

and carried them all the days of old.

[10] But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned

to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

[11] Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying,

Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his

flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?

[12] That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm,

dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

[13] That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that

they should not stumble?

[14] As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused

him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious

name.



A Prayer of Penitence



15 (Dt 26:15; Ps 80:14) Look down from heaven and see,

from Your holy and glorious habitation.

Where are Your zeal and Your strength?

The stirrings of Your heart and Your mercies toward me are restrained.

16 (Isa 44:6; Dt 32:6) For You are our Father,

though Abraham is ignorant of us

and Israel does not recognize us.

You, O Lord, are our Father, our Redeemer;

Your name is from everlasting.

17 (Nu 10:36; Ps 90:13) O Lord, why have You made us to err from Your ways

and hardened our heart from fearing You?

Return for Your servants' sake,

the tribes of Your inheritance.

18 (Ps 74:3-7) Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for a little while;

our adversaries have trodden it down.

19 We have become

as those over whom You have never ruled,

as those who were not called by Your name.



[15] Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness

and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy

bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?

[16] Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and

Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy

name is from everlasting.

[17] O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our

heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine

inheritance.

[18] The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our

adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

[19] We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by

thy name.



2) Our Daily Bread for 30 July 2023 Lower Deck People



1 Corinthians 12:12-14,21-27



One Body With Many Members



12 (1Co 12:27; 10:17) For as the body is one and has many parts,

and all the many parts of that one body are one body, so also is Christ.

13 (Jn 7:37-39; Gal 3:28) For by one Spirit we are all baptised

into one body, whether we are Jews or Gentiles, whether we are slaves

or free, and we have all been made to drink of one Spirit.

14 The body is not one part, but many.

21 The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you,"

nor the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."

22 No, those parts of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.

23 And those parts of the body which we think are less honorable,

upon these we bestow more abundant honor. And our less respectable

parts are treated with much more respect,

24 whereas our more respectable parts have no need of this.

But God has composed the body, having given more abundant honour

to that part which lacks it,

25 so that there should be no division in the body,

but that the parts should have the same care for one another.

26 (Ro 12:15) If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it,

and if one part is honored, all the parts rejoice with it.

27 (Ro 12:5; Eph 1:23) Now you are the body of Christ

and members individually.

28 (Heb 13:17; 13:24) God has put these in the church:

first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles,

then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various tongues.

29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers?

Are all workers of miracles?

30 Do all have the gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues?

Do all interpret?

31 (1Co 14:39)But earnestly covet the greater gifts.





[12] For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of

that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

[13] For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews

or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink

into one Spirit.

[14] For the body is not one member, but many.

[21] And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again

the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

[22] Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble,

are necessary:

[23] And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable,

upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more

abundant comeliness.

[24] For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body

together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

[25] That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should

have the same care one for another.

[26] And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one

member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

[27] Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.



A friend of mine works on a hospital ship called Africa Mercy, which takes

free healthcare to developing countries. The staff daily serve hundreds of

patients whose ailments would otherwise go untreated.



TV crews who periodically board the ship, point their cameras on its amazing

medical staff, who fix cleft palates and reset club feet. Sometimes they go

below deck to interview other crew members, but the work Mick does typically

goes unnoticed.



Mick, an engineer, admits being surprised about where he'd been assigned to

work-in the ship's sewage plant. With up to forty thousand liters of waste

produced each day, managing this toxic material is serious business. Without

Mick tending its pipes and pumps, Africa Mercy's life-giving operations would

stop.



It's easy to applaud those on the "top deck" of Christian ministry while

overlooking those in the galleys below. When the Corinthians elevated those

with extraordinary gifts above others, Paul reminded them that every believer

has a role in Christ's work (1 Corinthians 12:7-20), and every gift is

important, whether it's miraculous healing or helping others (vv. 27-31). In

fact, the less prominent the role, the greater honour it deserves (vv. 22-24).



Are you a "lower deck" person? Then lift your head high.

Your work is honoured by God and indispensable to us all.



By: Sheridan Voysey



Reflect & Pray



What happens when you compare your gifts with others?

Which "lower deck" person can you affirm the efforts of today?



I'm important to You, God. Thank You for noticing me whether others do or not.



3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 1 - Sin Universal



Romans 3:23-24



23 (Ro 3:9) For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,

24 (Ro 4:16; Col 1:14) being justified freely by His grace

through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,



23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption

that is in Christ Jesus:



A distinguished middle-aged man stood trembling before his church

to give his testimony. Years before, in the grip of a mental illness

that nearly destroyed his life, he had taken the life of his own daughter

and tried to kill himself. But he did not die; tried and convicted, he

spent years in prison, and even longer in the prison of his own guilt.

After the service, a young woman walked up to him and simply said,

"Thank you for sharing. I've sinned, too."

We've all sinned, too - lest we forget or rationalise, the Bible reminds

us in no uncertain terms. And the writer of these verses was no stranger

to sin: he was the Pharisee, the holier-than-thou religious leader

who officiated at the stoning death of Stephen. He was the Jew who had

scattered and killed the followers of this heretic called Christ. He

thought he was righteous while he murdered God's people.

Christians tends to establish a "hierarchy" of sin - sexual sin is "worse"

than pride: murder is "more horrible" than slander. Yet the Bible gives

no indication that god acknowledges our hierarchy. Sin is sin; all have

sinned, and if we are guilty at one point, we are guilty of all.

Rather than rationalise our individual sins as being "less bad"

than someone else's, we need to openly confess our dilemma as sinners

and turn to God for his remedy. We cannot and do not need to earn or

deserve that grace - it is a gift from God.



Application



a) Have I ever compared my sin with someone else's in order

to make myself fell like a better person? Why is such

comparison not a valid remedy for sin?



b) Why do I need to acknowledge my sin honestly before I can

receive justification?



4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland



Deut 8:18



18 But you must remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you

the ability to get wealth, so that He may establish His covenant which

He swore to your fathers, as it is today.



18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee

power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto

thy fathers, as it is this day.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are lonely



PSALMS 25:15-21



15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord,

for He will lead my feet from the net.

16 Turn to me, and be gracious to me,

for I am isolated and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged;

bring me out of my distresses.

18 Look on my pain and misery,

and forgive all my sins.

19 Consider my enemies, for they are many,

and they hate me with violent hatred.

20 Watch over my life, and deliver me!

Let me not suffer shame,

for I seek refuge in You.

21 Truth and integrity will preserve me

while I wait for You.



15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD;

For he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;

For I am desolate and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged:

O bring thou me out of my distresses.

18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain;

And forgive all my sins.

19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many;

And they hate me with cruel hatred.

20 O keep my soul, and deliver me:

Let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me;

For I wait on thee.

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

Household Survey and population growth projections by Pew Forum. These have

also been adjusted by +40% as reliable sources state that on 60% of Muslims

self-identify on government surveys and forms. These estimates are still on

the conservative end of the spectrum. Percentages represent that of the total

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.



For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.



You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"



Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:



- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.



ROMANS 15:13



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .
