DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ISAIAH 61:1-3

(1)  The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
(2)  To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
(3)  To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.


THE ANOINTED ONE IS JESUS!

(1)  The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;  this text refers to the believers, anointed, commissioned, appointed of the Father to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, (i)  to the meek, that is, those who are gentle, humble in spirits, the Father guides the humble in what is right, teaches them his ways of godliness at all times; (Psalm 25:9); he beautifies the meek with salvation. (Psalm 149:4); therefore, let us humble ourselves in the eyes of the Father so he can lift us up in due times. (James 4:10);  (ii)  to bind up the brokenhearted, we are anointed to help those who are poor, sorrowful, pitiful, lacking physical, spiritual nourishment, and hoping in the Father, despite of their distresses; so when they hear the good news, they will be pacified to know that there is hope to inherit abundance of blessings if they believe in Jesus Christ on earth, receive salvation and life everlasting in heavenly kingdom, (Psalm 34:18); therefore, let us minister and encourage others, who spirits are downcast because of negatives situations bewailing their lives, uplift them in good faith with words of the scriptures through Christ Jesus;  (iii)  to proclaim liberty to the captives, we are to preach the gospel to release those who are in spiritual bondage to wickedness, bring them into the faith through righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; also, let us pray for others who need encouragements, deliverance, for redemptive blood of Christ to take control of their lives, backwardness of this generation, turn things around for glorification of his Holy Name forevermore; (iv)  and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; that is the year of release for those who are in enemy bondage, (Leviticus 25:10); therefore, let us preach the gospel to open doors to free the oppressed, depressed, suppressed, captured by infiltration spirits, set them free by proclaiming redemptive blood of Christ, to bring them into repentance, salvation, grace and life everlasting. .

(2)  To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;  brethren, we are to spread abroad to humanity, the day of salvation (Luke 19:9);  the day of wrath, judgment of the Father through Jesus Christ is at hand, humanity need to repent from sinful behaviors, embrace Jesus Christ, receive salvation and eternity. (2 Corinthians 5:10); to console those who grieve and are in pains for losing love ones, (1 Thessalonians 5:11); for this cause we were anointed to carry on the gospel of Jesus Christ all over the world;  let us be encourage to continue his good works in faith, knowing that Christ is always with us, regardless of what might rise up against his will in our lives, he will definitely prevail against all hindrances by his blood shed on cross of Calvary.

(3)  To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.  Brethren, let us minister to others, the word of the Father will touch lives when we allow ourselves to be used, his words will select, encourage those who weep in distress, give them the countenance of his glory, the Holy Spirit anointing of happiness, (Psalm 23:5), the clothing of glorification, to take away downcast negative spirits, that they may bear good fruits, which the Father planted in our inner spirits for his glorification forevermore. (Isaiah 44:3).


CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, we are all anointed, commissioned, appointed to spread the good news of Jesus Christ; time is running out for both preachers and hearers of his words; the Holy Spirits saying unto humanity; "Look, I am coming very, very soon!  (Revelation 22:12); Jesus already paid the price for all our iniquities on cross of Calvary; therefore, let us proceed to the throne of grace, salvation, life everlasting.  Christ is able to do all things; believe in him!  Amen and Amen!
