THE
DAY SHALL DAWN UPON US FROM ON HIGH
Filled
with joy in the Holy Spirit, Zechariah prophetically blessed the Lord for the
gift of John the Baptist and his mission in preparing the way for the Lord. He
thanked God for visiting his people and redeeming them.
We
thank God today for guiding us through the advent season. We are like Zechariah
and Elizabeth who waited for divine visitation. The Lord really visited when
the time came. All of us; men and women, boys and girls, little children and
everyone who waited spiritually in holy preparations for the coming of the Lord
are to thank God for leading us thus far. The day of the Lord shall dawn upon
us from on high.
Let's
put the finishing touches, lets pack out the germs that may be harmful to the
child to be born. Let us do the final disinfection and fumigation of our
spiritual environment. Let's raise our hearts and minds to the Lord as He comes
from on high.
The
promise of God will soon be actualized.
Bless the Lord for what he will do in your life. Glorify Him for what
you want Him to do for you.
He
comes for you in a special way. He addresses you child of God. As for you
little child, you shall be called a prophet of God the Most High. Through you,
God's light shall shine. May God make His glory shine in you as He comes. May
there be a dawn of new blessings, of favours, of peace, of Divine intervention
and visitation. The Lord will certainly come soon. Let's put away every
darkness and wait for the dawn of a new day, new healing, new order and new
vision.
LET US PRAY
O
Lord, we wait for the dawn of a new day from on high. We are tired and sick of
the old days of bad governance, of insecurity, of poverty, of lockdown, of
pandemics, of hopelessness, tears and sorrows. You alone can save us. The world
has gone so low and lost every value. We look up for your glory to come upon us
from on high. On you we rely. Do not delay or disappoint us O Lord our God.
Amen
God
bless your Thursday (24th December 2020)
