Isaiah 58:14, “Feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.”
My dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious word of God is taken from the book of Isaiah 58:14, “Feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.”
My dear children of God, God is saying to you today that, ‘He will feed you’. In this world, God provides a job for each individual so that he can be fed each day of his life through his earnings. God thus provides a way for his living, a way for his daily bread. So what we see here is that God provides the livelihood for each individual through some way or other means of life. God will not only feed you with the food to eat but also most importantly He will feed you with His words and spiritual blessings which will cause you to live for Him.
In the Bible we can see, that when Elijah was very upset and sat under the tree, beside the Kerith Ravine, being so vexed in life as the queen Jezebel was chasing for his life, God fed him through ravens. The Ravens brought him both bread and meat and he drank from the brook. So we see how God sent the Ravens to feed Elijah the Prophet. In the same way in some cases, God sends his angels and feeds His children who are in need and who are helpless. He knows that you are hungry and need to be fed. In another verse God says, “They shall neither hunger nor thirst, Neither heat nor sun shall strike them; For He who has mercy on them will lead them, Even by the springs of water He will guide them”. He is a Good God. Because He cares for you and therefore, He leads you through the springs of water, you may not suffer from hunger or thirst. This refers that, God will lead you to a good job or a good business through which you will be able to make your living.
In case you are saying “ I have no way for food, I stretch out my hand to someone else for my food.” To such kind of people, the Lord is saying that He will perform a miracle for all of them. I have heard a brother who attended our fasting prayer meeting “ Anbarin Pathathil Oru Nal,” conducted every first Saturday of the month, testify what God had done for him in his life and that touched me much and I was surprised by his testimony. He was unemployed. He had come to that meeting because he heard that food was being supplied after the meeting. He was suffering for want of food. So, he thought he could eat full and take some food home for his wife and children. But he said, that the word of God spoken on that day, really touched him and transformed his life. He went home with great faith that God would bless his future life. He not only received spiritual food but also received food for his hunger. He gladly went home and experienced a miracle that totally changed his life. He said since he attended the fasting prayer meeting, he became a big businessman, who could give job to several other people and also feed them. Thus, God had exalted him. What a good God He is! Today is your turn day. God will perform a miracle for you.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through this verse. Lord, you said that you will feed us with the heritage of Jacob our father. I pray that You will perform a miracle and open new ways for my children. Lord open all the doors of opportunity that have been shut. Open the doors that cannot be shut again. Kindly be merciful to my children and grant them a good job. Let my children grow prosperous in all aspects of their life. Honour them and cause them to live a life of peace and prosperity.
In Jesus Name we pray
Amen
