The prophecy spoken by Ezekiel has its ultimate Source in God Himself - “the hand of the Lord was upon me” (Ezekiel 40:1). He goes on to describe “visions of God” (Ezekiel 40:2).
To speak the Word of God faithfully requires patience. There is not
always evidence of great blessing. Nevertheless, we must be faithful
like “the prophets who spoke in the Name of the Lord” (James 5:12). Such ministry is to be accompanied by prayer - “the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective” (James 5:16).
The prayer and preaching are to be directed towards bringing men and
women back to the Lord from whom they have wandered away (James 5:19-20). There is blessing for those who lead others back to the Lord.
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you" (Isaiah 60:1). * Let the light of Christ shine. * Let the words of Scripture lead to thoughts of the Saviour. * In Christ, we are called to salvation, sanctification and service. * Be wise – worship the Saviour. Is 60:1-6; Ps 72:1-7,10-14; Eph 3:1-12; Mt 2:1-12
