BANNER TO THE PEOPLE

DAILY GRACE
TUE. 11TH OCT, 2016
TOPIC: BANNER TO THE PEOPLE
TEXT: ISAIAH 11: 10

A Wonderful day to you. God of all grace will grant you unexpected opening of opportunities today in the name of Jesus Christ.
Every barrier assigned against your breakthrough shall be destroyed now in Jesus' name.

"And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, who shall stand as a banner to the people; for the Gentiles shall seek Him, and His resting place shall be glorious."
                                        
 The revelation of Christ as the Gentiles' king as revealed in the above scripture.
There shall be a root of Jesse and He shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, in Him shall the Gentiles trust. That is a key to this prophecy, which speaks of Christ as the root of Jesse, or a branch out of His roots (Isa. 11:1), a root out of a dry ground (Isa. 53:2). He is the root of David (Rev. 5:5), the root and offspring of David (Rev. 22:16.). The very life and strength of the family of David.

Let's have some further expository discoveries on this.
Firstly, He shall stand, or be set up, for an ensign of the people. When He was crucified He was lifted up from the earth, as an ensign of beacon, He might draw the eyes and the hearts of all men unto Him, (John 12:32).
He is set up as an ensign in the preaching of the everlasting gospel of grace, in which every believer must be willing to be a standard-bearer, display the banner of His love, to allure or win others to Him (Song 1:4).
You must be willing to be the banner of His truth to people, and enlist yourself to engage in a holy war against sin and Satan. Christ Jesus is the ensign to which the children of God that were scattered abroad are gathered together (John 11:51) and in Him they meet as the centre of their unity.

Secondly, to Him shall the Gentiles seek. We read of Greeks that did so (John 12:21),  and upon that occasion Christ spoke of His being lifted up, to draw all men to Him. The apostle Paul also cited it (Rom. 15:12), In Him shall the Gentiles trust, they shall seek Him with a dependence upon Him.

Thirdly, His rest shall be glorious. I understand this of the death of Christ (the triumphs of the cross made even that glorious) and of His ascension, when He sat down to rest at the right hand of God.
A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. It was a throne of holiness, which truly made it glorious.
Enjoy your day!

Personal Confession: Oh Lord, make  me a visible banner of truth, holiness, and grace to my generation in Jesus' name.
