The Lord is saying that which He will do in your life will cause the ears of men to tingle in Jesus name. He says He will make someone here laugh and everyone that hears you laugh will laugh with you in Jesus name.
Proverbs 102:13 says ‘Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion, for the time to favour her, yea the set time is come”.
The theme of the month of January is Glorious reforms as spoken by God, through His Prophet and the theme of the year 2014 is New Beginnings.
The Bible says in Psalm 62:11 once has God spoken and twice have we heard that all power belongs to God. From this scripture we know that God does not have to repeat Himself, but if He does it is because He loves us too much and he wants to emphasise what He has spoken. Glorious reforms and New Beginnings are alike.
The word reform means to improve by alteration, correction of error or removal of defects, put into a better form or condition or to restore to a former good state,
When we say Glorious reforms, then it means God Himself will be the one to alter, correct, remove the defects or put into better form or condition that which needs reforming in every area of our lives and in His church in Jesus name.
Malachi 3:6 ‘For I am The Lord, I change not, the Bible says in Hebrews 13:8 He remaineth the same yesterday, today and forever, He is the only one that has the power to reform us in every area of our lives that we need His glorious touch. Our challenges cannot change God but He is the only one that can turn our challenges to testimonies.
He is saying that in this month of January and beyond, He will visit us for good in Jesus name.
Brethren if you believe it then let your Amen sound like thunder.
In the Book of Luke 1:5-20 the Bible introduced a man to us, Zaharias a Priest of the Living God, he and his wife were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of The Lord blameless.
The Bible said they had no child because Elisabeth his wife was barren (Brethren that is an error for the Bible makes me to understand in the BK of Exodus. 23:26 that none shall be barren in the land).
A day came, a day like no other day came, on that day it was Zachariah’s lot to burn incense before The Lord in his temple. It was Zacharias day of favour and mercy, a day that Jehovah the Miracle Worker decided to visit Zacharias and his wife like He had never done before for the root of barrenness to be uprooted in their lives, for the Bible says in Matt.15:13 every tree that my Father has not planted shall be cut down. He visited them for Glorious reforms, just like He has decided to visit you and I today, let somebody shout Alleluia. Angel Gabriel, the ministering angel sent by God on this errand said to Zacharias, fear not, for thy prayer is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
May The Good Lord hear and answer someone’s prayer and petition in the name that is above all names Jesus.
Even the ears of Zacharias tingled when he heard what The Lord said through His messenger, for he said in verse 18 ‘Whereby shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
Even his wife Elisabeth when she eventually conceived, Jehovah The God of heaven and the earth is not a man that He should lie, when he says a thing, He does it, when he speaks a thing, He makes it good.
The Bible says Elisabeth hid herself for five months because of the fear of what people will say about her. I perceive in my spirit that people would have said, I said it she was a witch, look at how her stomach has swollen in her old age.
May Jehovah, The Almighty God roll away your reproach among men in Jesus name.
For Zacharias and Elisabeth it was barrenness (the fruit of the womb), but for someone else it might be something else that represents a reproach that needs to be taken away, may The Lord gloriously reform you in Jesus name.
For someone here today The Lord says He will visit your foundations in a Jesus name.
He says He has done before and He will do it again in a Jesus name.
For another He says I will make you my Divine excellency, I will cause you to be celebrated in the places where you have been rejected before.
For someone here today The Lord says He will give you a new song and dance, a song that you have never sang before and a dance you have never danced before.
