Unbounded Prosperity
Isaiah 55:6–13
6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
There is the Gospel presented in this text that may often be missed in our casual reading.
From the seeking of God; to the wicked forsaking their way and returning to the Lord; and the Lord bringing an abundant life through his word, which we see as likened to the rain that bring life to the earth; to the total unbounded prosperity which fills the heart with joy for what God has provided.
In the end, the blessing is eternal and the glory is to the LORD alone,
and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off. (V13)
In the first part of the message this morning, you will see the Lord providing you a limitation of opportunity to take advantage of.
6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
It is THE TIME-BOUND OPPORTUNITY
In the second part of this message, you may find chastisement. Just as Isaiah, through the Lord, first chastises the people of Israel, so too should you find yourselves the subject of Gods focus in this text, but not without hope;
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
This we see is THE HEAVEN-BOUND REALITY, the eternal hope of that OPPORTUNITY that went before.
In the third point we will have our focus on the explanatory portion of the passage that reveals to you WHY you should take heed to the Lord and to understand HOW HIS WORD fulfils its work, primarily in the Everlasting Gospel.
In the final portion of the text, you will see the UNBOUNDED PROSPERITY to those who have attended to that which went before, for their own eternal joy.
The Time-bound Opportunity
Isaiah 55:6
6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
We have all seen the countdown clocks on shopping sites on the internet, “Limited Time Only” specials hanging in windows of store fronts, End of Financial Year and Black Friday sales coming about annually to take advantage of, Boxing Day sales where multitudes of people run over themselves and risk both life and limb just to nab a big ticket item at cents on the dollar, so we are not ignorant that there is in reality opportunities to take advantage of “While Stocks Last”, a LIMITATION is imposed but not before the opportunity is presented.
The reality described above reveals the nature of Man for the temporal prosperity of life. But in this text, God reveals to man the opportunity for UNBOUNDED PROSPERITY in the riches of eternal life.
