Month Theme: Reaping in the Jubilee
Topic: God's Year to Act
Scripture Reading: Luke 4:16-21
Main Text:
Luke 4:19
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Today, the Jubilee is fulfilled in the Gospel of grace through Jesus Christ. The year of Jubilee, signalled by the sound of the trumpet is comparable with this dispensation in which the Gospel is preached to those who are in bondage to sin and the works of satan.
The acceptable year in Luke 4:19 could refer to the year of Jubilee in which there was a compulsory release of all slaves and people’s properties, which were in the custody of others. Slaves and those indebted to others looked forward to the Jubilee year.
The Message version of the Bible refers to the acceptable year of the Lord as “GOD’S YEAR TO ACT”. It may look like God is silent about our situations but in the acceptable year of the Lord, He acts! Patience is a major requirement for experiencing the Jubilee. Many believers destroy their destiny before it manifests itself. Through impatience, they deny God and do wrong things that jeopardise their future.
Prayer: Pray and receive whatever blessing or reward that has been delayed or denied you.
