TOPIC: BEING ONE WITH GOD 
TEXT: ISAIAH 30:18-26
1) THE KEY VERSE: 
“And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him” (Isaiah 30:18)
2) THE TEXT:

(ISAIAH 30: 18 – 26 KJV)
“18. And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
19. For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.
20. And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:
21. And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
22. Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.
23. Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
24. The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26. Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.”
3) THE MESSAGE:
i) The theologian, Albertus Pieters, wrote a book on “Divine Lord And Saviour” in which he spoke of a man called Old Pete. 
ii) According to the author, Old Pete’s little education did not deny him a good understanding of the Bible. 
iii) Old Pete was quoted thus: “If God should take me to the mouth of hell and say to me, ‘Here you go, Pete; this is where you belong’. I would say to Him, ‘That’s true, Lord I do belong there, but if You make me go to that place, Your Dear Son, Jesus Christ, must go with me. He and I are now one and We cannot be separated anymore”. 
iv) That was a penetrating revelation which believers should be conversant with all their lives. We are knit to the Lord by our salvation through Him. 
v) While the Lord waits to receive the embattled guilt-ridden sinner who has failed repeatedly in his self-management strategies, He will not deny the believer the sound doctrine he needs to be victorious and prepare for heaven.
vi) In turn, man is expected to wait in prayer in enthusiastic expectation of the coming of Jesus Christ. 
vii) Meanwhile, as they wait for His return, the Lord wants believers to 

a) embark on soul-winning in their community. 

b) He expects them to cross rivers, descend valleys, climb mountains and traverse land and sea no matter how distant. 
viii) That way, we become inseparable from Jesus because we now live in His vision of propagating the Good News to the world. 
ix) We can then also say with Old Pete: “We cannot be separated anymore from the Son of God”.
4) THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: 
We are one with Christ in the noble mandate of soul-winning.
