Series: The Book of Isaiah
God has prepared new things for you in this season.
One of the genuine marks of a Christian, or a child of God or somebody who’s been touched by the love of God is the fact that we like to give. Not that we are expected to give but that we enjoy giving, we celebrate giving. Our very nature is like our Father who was a giver and who continues to give us.
The bible says, God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. John 3:16
And God is looking for men and women on this planet, among His children who will represent Him in such a powerful way that they will become radical, unconditional, genuine and sincere from the bottom of their heart to be givers and generous givers.
Isaiah 32:8 is talking about a category of generous people.
When God looks at our church, city, nation, homes and our families, may God find you to be among the category of generous people.
So often we think that to be generous is to be really rich, which is not true.
Your ratio of generosity is not about how much you give but rather if you are willing to give in every season of life.
Giving is an act of worship.
Bible’s definition of a generous person is that they plan to be generous and they stand firm. Nothing can move them.
Even the smallest act of you being generous has the capacity to move people’s heart and see the love of God.
Are you willing to give in every season of your life? Not because of your wealth but because of your nature and because it is in your blood to be a generous giver.
God bless you!

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
