Behold, I will do a new thing, says God

July 7, 2026

Through the prophet Isaiah, God declares, “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?” (Isaiah 43:19). This promise was first spoken to Israel during a season when they remembered God's past deliverances, yet the Lord directed their attention toward something greater that He was about to accomplish. Just as He had made a way through the Red Sea, He now promised to make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, revealing that His power is not confined to former works but continually brings forth new expressions of His purpose. The promise of a "new thing" is not detached from their covenant relationship with God. In the same chapter, God calls His people back to Himself, reminding them that they had neglected prayer, worship, and wholehearted devotion (Isaiah 43:22–24). Yet despite their shortcomings, He declares His willingness to forgive, restore, and lead them into a new season of grace. God's new work begins with His mercy and invites His people into renewed fellowship with Him. This passage reveals a God who is always moving His redemptive plan forward. He opens doors where none exist, creates hope in barren places, and accomplishes what human strength cannot. A present-day reflection: This promise encourages believers to remain attentive to what God is doing today rather than becoming anchored only in past experiences. It calls for renewed prayer, wholehearted worship, and generous devotion to God. As we seek Him faithfully and honor Him with our lives, we position ourselves to recognize the new paths He is opening, trusting that He is still making a way where there seems to be none.

The Lord whom you seek shall suddenly come into His temple

May 4, 2026

This prophecy of Malachi came at a time when the people had returned from exile but had grown careless in worship, priesthood and devotion. Malachi’s message was both a rebuke and a preparation, calling the people back to sincerity, purity, and reverence to God as they awaited His coming. Malachi clearly stated that Elijah would come before the great and dreadful day of the Lord (Malachi 4:5–6), to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and children to their fathers, lest the Lord will smite the earth with a curse. This showed that before God would act decisively, He would first send a forerunner — someone to awaken repentance and prepare the people spiritually. In the New Testament, this is understood as fulfilled in John the Baptist. Jesus identifies him as the messenger spoken of, the one who came “in the spirit and power of Elijah” to prepare the way (Matthew 11:10–14; Luke 1:17). John’s call to repentance, his emphasis on returning to God, and his role in introducing Christ all align with Malachi’s prophecy. What was spoken centuries earlier becomes the bridge between the Old and New Testament eras. A present-day reflection: The pattern of God is clear and consistent. Before the coming of the Lord, whether through revival or intervention, there must be a preparation, one that involves the heart. This is a call for personal and corporate reflection, a returning to sincerity in worship, and a readiness for what God is doing. And just as John the Baptist prepared the way then for Jesus, we must prepare our hearts if we want to meet with and experience God's fullness here on heart and also in eternity.

All the Nations of the earth will serve the one true God

April 27, 2026

The prophets declared that a day would come when all nations would turn to the one true God. Isaiah speaks of a time when “the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established… and all nations shall flow unto it” (Isaiah 2:2–4), where people from all nations of the earth would say, “Come, let us go up… and He will teach us His ways.” This vision shows not just Israel restored, but the nations of the world actively seeking God, desiring His truth, and walking in His paths. Amos also corroborates this, declaring that when God rebuilds the fallen tabernacle of David, it will lead to the inclusion of others beyond Israel (Amos 9:11–15). This is not merely national recovery, but an expansion of God’s kingdom purpose, reaching those who were once outside the covenant. The Psalms echo this same expectation, calling on all peoples to praise God and rejoice in His righteous rule (Psalm 67). In the New Testament, this begins to unfold clearly as the message of God reaches the Gentiles. What was spoken by the prophets becomes visible as people from different nations turn to God, forming one people rooted in faith. The inclusion of the nations is not a departure from the promise, but its fulfillment — showing that God’s plan from the beginning was always global. A present-day reflection: This vision calls believers to align with God’s heart for all nations. The invitation to know Him is open to everyone, and the responsibility remains to live and share in a way that reflects His truth. The movement of the nations toward God is still unfolding, reminding each generation that they are part of a larger story — one where God is drawing people from every place into His kingdom.

There will be earthquakes in diverse places

Jesus, in what is often called the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21), foretold the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple and spoke of wars, famines, persecution, and other signs that would unfold before the end. He addressed both an immediate future — the fall of Jerusalem — and a longer unfolding timeline that stretches toward the fulfillment of God’s final purposes on earth. Within a generation, His words about the temple were fulfilled in 70 CE, when Jerusalem was destroyed. This confirmed His prophetic authority and showed that history moves exactly as God declares. Yet His teaching went beyond that moment, describing ongoing patterns: conflict among nations, natural upheavals, and trials for believers — all pointing toward a future culmination. Importantly, Jesus did not speak these things to create fear, but to call for watchfulness and endurance. He emphasized that believers should remain steady, faithful, and discerning, not deceived by events but anchored in truth. The message carries both warning and hope: though there will be shaking, there will also be ultimate vindication and the establishment of God’s kingdom. Because of this, the Olivet Discourse has become central to Christian understanding of the last days. It connects a fulfilled historical event (the temple’s fall) with an ongoing and future expectation, shaping how believers interpret both past and present realities. A present-day reflection: These words call believers to live with awareness and readiness. Rather than being overwhelmed by global uncertainty, the focus is on faithfulness — enduring, staying grounded, and living with spiritual alertness. The signs are not the goal; preparedness is. The call remains the same: to watch, to remain steadfast, and to occupy till He comes.

I will give you what you have asked and what you have not asked for, says the Lord.

April 19, 2026

When Solomon asked God for wisdom instead of wealth or power, the Lord responded generously: He granted him wisdom and also added what he did not ask for — riches, honor, and peace. His reign became a season of stability and prosperity, where Israel flourished and gained recognition among nations. It was a clear picture of God’s ability to give beyond human requests when the heart is rightly aligned. Yet alongside this blessing was a warning already present in the Law and echoed by later prophets: if the king or the people turned away from God, the same favor could be lost. Over time, Solomon’s heart drifted, and the consequences unfolded in his lineage — division, instability, and decline. The story holds both promise and caution: God gives abundantly, but sustained blessing is tied to continued faithfulness. This theme carries into the New Testament, where it is affirmed that God is able to do exceedingly above all we ask or think, according to His power at work within us. The principle remains consistent — God’s generosity is not limited, but it flows best through lives that remain aligned with Him. A present-day reflection: Solomon’s story reminds believers that seeking God first brings both what is needed and often more than expected. But it also calls for vigilance — not to drift after receiving blessings. The same God who gives abundantly desires hearts that remain steady. The focus is not just on receiving, but on sustaining a life that stays aligned with Him, so that what He gives can endure and fulfill its purpose.
