My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Isaiah 65:22 “They shall not build and another inhabit, They shall not plant and another eat, —And My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we learn that all God’s people are designed to enjoy the fruit of their labours. Then the children will not be troublesome, to their parents or will get into trouble. Thus all shall live in harmony. God says that they shall be blessed with the undisturbed enjoyment of all that is needful for their happiness. The above verse says, every man shall enjoy the avails of his labour. In the Bible we see that the Israelites inhabited the houses built by the Canaanites. Thus we cannot afford to build houses through hard labour and lose it in the hands of our enemies or strangers.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, In case you had built a house and someone else has cheated you, and made a duplicate or false document and had obtained it from your hands through wrong mean, God is about to change their heart and intention so that they regret for their wrong doings and will return the documents and the house back to you. Until yesterday, you were not able to enjoy the fruit of your hard labour. You must have gone through a lot of trials and agony to construct a house. You should be able to live in the house you built. But in case you are unable to occupy the house you built, or you are unable to occupy the flat which you have purchased with your hard earned money, because someone else is obstructing you from occupying your flat, God is making ways, and means, for you to possess your house. It will be Marvellous to your eyes. Halleluiah! For the word of God says, God’s children shall inhabit the houses they have built and shall not be dispossessed by an enemy.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Similarly you would have taken great pains to grow an orchard. It must have taken years to have grown and you should be able to eat the fruit of your hands for which you have worked so hard. But unfortunately your neighbour or a stranger has secretly intruded into your orchard and has robbed you of your fruits. God is intervening on your behalf because he had witnessed your hard labour. He knows your pain, and your hard work. He has seen your tears and heard your cries. Therefore he will speak into their hearts and convict them of their wrong deeds. And they will never again intrude into your orchard. That is why God says, They shall not plant for others to eat.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord , for your promise which encourages us that our enemy shall not eat of the fruit of our tree or occupy our house that we build. Thank you for helping us to inhabit our own hard earned house. Come and dwell in the midst of us Oh Lord. We need your presence in our lives.
n Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
