Sermon Note
Pastor Benjamin (Heaven on Earth Ministry)
Light shine
In heaven it does not need sun to give radiant.
We are heaven on earth. Whatever in heaven we have the same here. Heaven’s glory and splendour is not from the sun or moon but is from Jesus Himself.
Jesus came to give us this glory and light to shine
What God can do for Israelis, how much more He can do for us. We are the righteous, not our own work but is God’s righteousness
TPT version of Isaiah 60:2-5
The brightness of His glory appears over us.
Nations will be attracted to His radiant light
The same Jesus is in us. Nations will be attracted to light in us
2
Look carefully! Darkness blankets the earth, and thick gloom[a] covers the nations, but Yahweh arises upon you
and the brightness of his glory appears over you!
3
Nations will be attracted to your radiant light and kings to the sunrise-glory of your new day.
4
Lift up your eyes higher! Look all around you and believe, for your sons are returning from far away and your daughters are being tenderly carried home. Watch as they all gather together, eager to come back to you!
Zion’s Wealth
5
“Then you will understand and be radiant.
Your heart will be thrilled and swell with joy. The fullness of the sea will flow to you
and the wealth of the nations will be transferred to you!
Whatever Israelis has, Benjamin’e generation receive 5 times more
Isaiah 60:6-7
6
Caravans of camels will cover your land,
young camels loaded with goods from Midian and Ephah.
All the wealthy merchants from Sheba will come, bearing gold and frankincense and singing the praises of Yahweh!
7
All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you, and the rams of Nebaioth[e] will be yours as acceptable sacrificeson my altar, and I will adorn with more glory my glorious temple.
We will see end time people from all works of lives.
Our bodies are the temples of the holy spirit
Glory on our bodies in terms of health
God will manifest His glory in our bodies. He is already doing now. Everytime we partake of the holy communion
By His stripes we get wholeness and healing.
Isaiah 60:8-9
“Who are these who soar like clouds,
flying like doves into their portals?
9
Indeed, the distant islands eagerly look for me, with their large ships[d] leading the way. They are bringing Zion’s children from afar. They come with offerings of silver and gold to honor the name of Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel,
for he has glorified you!
Isaiah 60:10-12
“Foreigners will rebuild your walls and their kings will serve you. Even though I punished you in my anger, I will restore you in my gracious favor and show you my tender compassion.
11
Your gateways will always remain wide open around the clock to let in the procession of kings bringing their constant stream of the riches of the nations.
12
The nation or kingdom that refuses to serve you will perish and be utterly ruined.
Believe and declare with our mouth
Constant stream of the riches of the nations. – physical riches
Isaiah 60:13-14
Lebanon’s glory will be yours.
The cypress, fir, and pine will come to you
to beautify the site of my holy place.
And I will glorify the place where I rest my feet.
14
The descendants of your oppressors
will come bowing low before you,
and all who hated you will bow down at your feet. They will call you The Beautiful City of Yahweh, GloriousZion of the Holy One of Israel.
Build up God’s kingdom and to reach out more souls.
All resources come in and build up.
Isaiah 60:15-16
“Although once you were rejected and despised, undesirable for anyone to pass through you, I will make you majestic forever, a source of joy for every generation.
16
You will guzzle the milk of nations and suckle at the breast of kings. You will know me intimately that I am Yahweh, your Savior, for I am the Mighty Hero who rules over Jacob’s tribes, your Kinsman-Redeemer!
Once we were rejected and despised. May the Holy Spirit gives us the desire for the intimacy with the Lord.
Many followed Jesus but only Peter James and John who saw the transfiguration
They have intimacy and private time with Jesus
See His glory and experience His glory all the time.
We do not need to be the one who see Jesus from afar.
Jesus said draw near to Me and I will draw near to you.
Kinsmen Redeemer was like Boaz and Ruth
Everything made better because of Jesus
Isaiah 60:17-22
Everything Made Better
17
“I will replace your copper with gold,
your iron with silver, your wood with copper, and your stone with iron.
I will install peace and prosperity as your government and righteousness as your overseer.
18
Threats of violence will no longer be heard in your land, nor will destruction and ruin be found within your borders. You will name your walls Salvation and your gates Praise.
Our gates is to praise Jesus
We lift up the name of Jesus as we praise Him and His glory in us
19
“The sun will no longer be needed to brighten the day, nor the moon to shine at night, for Yahweh will be your unfailing light; your God will be your glory![a]
20
There will be no more sunsets or new moons, for Yahweh will be your everlasting light and your days of sadness will be over.
21
All your people will be righteous and will permanently possess the land. I planted them there as a tender sapling, the work of my own hands to display my glory.
22
I will multiply the least of you into a thousand and the weakest one into a mighty nation. I am Yahweh, and when the right time comes, I will accomplish it swiftly!”
The weakest one into a mighty nation
God confound the mighty
Everything is shaken. But the truth Jesus will always be our strong Rock
This was before Jesus came. When Jesus came, the right time already come
When we dare to believe God for this promises, He is the One who complete is swiftly, instantly.
Whatever we give to God, it multiplied.
Joshua 10:12
At that time Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD gave the Amorites over to the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel,
“Sun, stand still at Gibeon,
and moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.”
As we give the time to the Lord, our day is so productive and fruitful
Joshua 10:13-14 (ESV)
And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
until the nation took vengeance on their enemies.
Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day. There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD heeded the voice of a man, for the LORD fought for Israel.
What God can give to Joshua He can give to us.
Proverbs 15:29 (NKJV)
The LORD is far from the wicked,
But He hears the prayer of the righteous.
1 Peter 3:12
For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their prayers;
But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil.”
Our Lord watches over us like how a mother watches over her kids. But much more. He is so careful about every details.
His ears are open to our prayers.
Whatever we speak and ask for, God hears and He answers
Genesis 1:3-4
Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
We are Abba’s children. If we want light in our lives in any areas, we just speak and declare light in the areas.
The amount of darkness in our lives is equal to the fear in our lives.
If the room is dark and we want to look for something in the dark, we will be knocking on things.
The solution is turn on the light. Turn on the light before we move.
Speak like how God speaks. Speak the truth which is the Word of God
God saw the light and it was good and God divided darkness to light
We rely on our strength rather than the light given by God
God does not force His blessing or Jesus into anyone.
All we need to do is turn on the light and fear and worries will be gone.
No way the darkness can overcome the light.
Rev 21:5 AMPC
5 And He Who is seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new. Also He said, Record this, for these sayings are faithful (accurate, incorruptible, and trustworthy) and true (genuine).
Light is very important.
Our physical body needs sunlight
Our spiritual also need light
The addicts will stay in darkness. No light no emotion and they go down into depression.
Our bodies need sunlight. When someone does not have enough sunlight the body will fall sick.
God is Light. God is glory. Without Him everything can fall apart.
Every time He makes all things new.
Is such a privilege we can have intimacy and close relationship with Him that we can even face Him face to face.
Today we have the access to meet the king of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
The more glory we receive from heaven the more blessings we receive in Isaiah 60
Isaiah 43:18-19 AMPC
18 Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Today is new beginning. Let the old things pass.
Let all of us be Joshua and Caleb. To enter in the promise land.
When the people did not let go of former things, they complain and said want to go back to Egypt.
Let go of the former things.
God has better things. He has much much much better things and it springs forth.
God wants us to perceive, to know and to give heed to it!
In the desert it seems to impossible to have water, God created rivers.
When things seem impossible for man is possible for God
Look forward to glorious month.
Let God take over. Let God be the Light. Let God shines through every darkness and make everything clear.
The more we speak to Him and declare, the prayers of the righteous avails much.
