Word for the Week


Sunday 13 April

Isaiah 54:2
Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

How big is your witness
In Acts 7:44 it talks about the “tabernacle of witness”. This was the place where God dwelt and met with His people. We can look at this verse in relation to our own life. Our life should be like this visual tabernacle and be a (tabernacle or) life of witness.

God in this verse encourages them to enlarge and stretch forth the curtains of the witness. The stakes must be strengthened as the cords are lengthened.

The stakes are a picture of our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our faith must be strengthened. The cords are what hold our testimony high so that others can see it.

Those cords can be found in 2 Peter 1:5-7
· Virtue
· Knowledge
· Temperance
· Patience
· Godliness
· Brotherly kindness
· Charity

It is good to know that as we enlarge our witness we will not be (Isaiah 54:4):
· Afraid
· Ashamed
· Confounded (Hurt or reproached)

The reason why we will not be afraid, ashamed or confounded is because of our maker. He is
· Our Husband
· The Lord of Hosts
· Our Redeemer
· The Holy one of Israel
· The God of the whole earth

Young person enlarge the place of thy tent, and stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.
