TOPIC: THE DIVINE CALL

TEXT: Isaiah 6.1-13(NKJV)

  • 6:1. In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His [robe] filled the temple.
  • 6:2. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
  • 6:3. And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy [is] the LORD of hosts; The whole earth [is] full of His glory!”
  • 6:4. And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.
  • 6:5. So I said: “Woe [is] me, for I am undone! Because I [am] a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts.”
  • 6:6. Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal [which] he had taken with the tongs from the altar.
  • 6:7. And he touched my mouth [with it,] and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.”
  • 6:8. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here [am] I! Send me.”
  • 6:9. And He said, “Go, and tell this people: ‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand; Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’
  • 6:10. “Make the heart of this people dull, And their ears heavy, And shut their eyes; Lest they see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And return and be healed.”
  • 6:11. Then I said, “Lord, how long?” And He answered: “Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant, The houses are without a man, The land is utterly desolate,
    6:12. The LORD has removed men far away, And the forsaken places [are] many in the midst of the land.
  • 6:13. But yet a tenth [will be] in it, And will return and be for consuming, As a terebinth tree or as an oak, Whose stump [remains] when it is cut down. So the holy seed [shall be] its stump.”

STUDY:

In today’s passage, Prophet Isaiah had an unforgettable experience in the year that King Uzziah died. It was such an impactful and life-transforming encounter that his ministry was turned around in a moment. Isaiah saw the glory and Sovereignty of the LORD and the reality of his sinful life dawned on him, leading to a response of confession.

The man who hitherto had been prophesying saw himself a lost man who needed to be helped. The angel of the Lord took a coal from the altar and touched his lips saying,“See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atonedfor.”(v.7b).

It is not enough to be a church-goer; we need an encounter with the Lord Isaiah encountered God and his life changed. To see the Lord is to be lef with a humble sense of our frailty. When God pricks your heart to serve Him, you must receive his commission and accept his conditions.

Today. God still calls, speaks, and reveals his will as in the days of Isaiah. As with Isaiah, God’s call may not be easy, but it will surely be rewarding. Seek the face of God as you pray for him to reveal his will to you. You will not regret answering,”Here amI, sendme!”

PRAYER:

Lord, please reveal yourself to me that I will serve you better in Jesus’ name, Amen!
