THE GOD OF NEW THINGS (II)

Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful” – Revelation 21:5 (NKJV)

God is always doing “a new thing” – something that has not hitherto occurred, some fresh, unheard of and wonderful event, that shall far surpass all He had formerly done. Today, we’ll meditate on four additional dimensions of destiny for which you can believe God for Newness:

• New Names: a name is a mark of identity or an indicator of individuality. A new name depicts a new identity, new honor, authority, or even a new character (Isa.56:4,5; 61: 6; 62:2-4; Rev.2:15, 17). A new name is often the product of operating under a new covenant, as in the cases of Abraham (Gen 17:5), Sarah (Gen.17:15), and Jacob (Gen. 32: 28; 35:10). May this promise be your portion: The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You shall be called by a NEW NAME, which the mouth of the LORD will name (Isa.62:2).

• New Day: God has something fresh for each new day, week, month, and season of your life: “In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, there was the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month…” (Rev.22:2). As you remain sensitive to God’s dealings in the times and seasons of life, you will experience and enjoy the packages of blessings ordained for every day, week, month, and year in Jesus name.

• New Tongues: In Christ’s Name, and by the indwelling presence and empowerment of the Holy Spirit, every true believer  has the potential to speak with new tongues which command new authority (Mk.16:17-18), touched and torched tongues, and the tongues of the learned. Let this be your faith-declaration: “The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary: He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens my ear to hear as the learned” (Isa.50:4).

• New Songs: Seasons of newness are seasons of joy and rejoicing, because they are often times of restoration (Isa.65:17-19). Having obtained a new name and a new tongue, you can have new songs for every new season. The psalmist made several references to new songs: Sing to Him a new song; play skilfully with a shout of joy (Psa.33:3). He has put a new song in my mouth – Praise to our God; many shall see it and fear, and will trust in the LORD (Psa.40:3). I will sing a new song to You, O God; on a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You (Psa.144:9). Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, and His praise in the congregation of saints (Psa.149:1).

God’s new things always birth new songs (Isa.42:8-10, Rev.5:9). The unction for New Songs is in the House today, tap into it and begin to rejoice in the God of Good Things…the God of New Things!
