ISAIAH 62
1 For Zion’s sake
I will not hold My peace, And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, Until her
righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
6 I have set watchmen on your walls, O
Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention
of the Lord, do not keep silent, 7 And
give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in
the earth.
10 Go through, Go
through the gates! Prepare the way for the people; Build up, Build up the
highway! Take out the stones, Lift up a banner for the peoples! 11 Indeed the Lord has proclaimed to
the end of the world: “Say to the
daughter of Zion, ‘Surely your salvation is coming; 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 you
shall be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.
- Daybreak is upon us and women do not rest at day break. Once the day has broken, there is no resting until the day’s work is done.
- There is no rest for those who travail for Zion (the Church) until she is ALL that God has ordained her to be in the Day of His power.
- There is no rest until Zion (the Church) shines forth with righteousness and salvation.
- We can't hold our peace; we can’t stop crying; we can’t be silent; we can’t be ‘off duty’ until the world sees Zion’s glory.
- The Comforter has come to Zion! He is ready to change her night garments of desolation and rejection and give her the day time garments of His glory and splendour!
- The Comforter has come to Zion! He has come to change her name and call her by her real name!
- Like a bridegroom with his bride, the Comforter has come to delight in Zion (the Church). It is her day of joy!
- There is a labour of preparation required – it will involve:
- Building
up the way – by restoring the preaching of the complete gospel and the way
of the Cross and by making disciples for Jesus.
- Taking
out the stones – doing away with the traditions of men and the systems of
the world that have crept in unnoticed and deceived many.
- Lifting
up the banner of JESUS only!
Matthew 9:36-38
But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved
with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep
having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is
plentiful, but labourers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send
out labourers into His harvest.”
- We must see the Lord’s harvest in the Church. Lord, let me see Your harvest in the Church.
- Calling harvest labourers! Lord, make me a harvest labourer in this daybreak.
- Lord, cause Your zeal to consume me and keep me praying for Zion without relenting.
- Help me to commit and dedicate my life to travailing until her glory bursts forth.
- Lord, set me on my watch for Zion (the Church). Show me how to pray for the Church in this daybreak.
- Lord, prepare me as a labourer in Your harvest.
- Lord, multiply the number of women in travail in this daybreak.
Matthew 11:28-30 (NKJV)
Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I
will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle
and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy
and My burden is light.
- We must have rest ourselves, if we are to invite others to the same. Lord, cause me to enjoy Your rest truly so that I can declare it to others.
- We must be women who are learning from Him ourselves, if we are to help others. Lord, help me to be a true disciple learning from You daily.
- We must be women who bear the yoke of discipleship ourselves. Lord, set me firmly in discipleship.
2 Peter 1:19 (NKJV)
And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do
well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and
the morning star rises in your hearts..
- Lord, as the disciples of old testified of the confirmation of the prophetic word, let us too be able to testify the same way.
- Help me to take heed to Your word in the day break.
- Let Your word concerning the daybreak shine in my heart and give me light to run, to go...
