THE MESSAGE
Isaiah chapter 60 verses 1 and 2
1Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

God knows the end from the beginning, He knows that a time of darkness will come and when the time comes somebody will rise and shine.

Arise means move up to a higher level wherever you are move higher. for example,

THE DEAD
It means come back to life from the dead, Mark 5:35-42.

SOMEBODY SLEEPING
To somebody who is sleeping it means wake up, Luke 22: 46 when you are sleeping opportunities could pass you by.

SOMEBODY ON THE GROUND
To someone on the ground, stand up. Mark 14:33-42

SOMEBODY IN BONDAGE
To somebody in bondage, be free, to the lame man, arise and walk. Act 31-8

Whatever level you are today, you would have moved higher before the end of this month.

Every word found in the Bible like arise could be a command, advice, prayer/plead or statement of determination.

ARISE- GOD TO MAN, IT'S A COMMAND.
When God speaks to a man, it is a command, when God is commanding you to arise, it is certain that He will supply what you need to obey, Mark 2:1-12. on behalf of Almighty God, i'm saying arise and everything you need to arise will come through the word.

ARISE- MAN TO GOD, IT'S A PRAYER.
When a man tells God to arise it is a prayer. Psalms 68:1-3 If you say you don’t have enemies, it means you are nothing.

ARISE- MAN TO MAN, IT'S AN ADVICE.
If it is a man speaking to another man, it is an advice 2 Kings 7:1-11, Arise, there's something better waiting for you, very soon you will have a testimony. Take the advice of the man of God, arise. God will supply what you need to rise and shine. When you arise and the blessings begin to come, don’t hide the light, when the miracles that will follow this morning service begin to come don’t fail to testify and tell others the secret of the breakthrough, even before the end of this week, somebody will sing a new song.

ARISE - IT MEANS TALKING TO MYSELF.
If I'm talking to myself it means I have made up my mind that I will suffer no more, life will be better and i'm going higher still. If God open your eyes and show you where you can be you will be amazed.

If you think you are great, you can be greater. Luke 15:1-11 If you are tired of suffering and belief that God can help you, you will say i will arise. If you are tired of suffering and believe that God can move you higher, you will say i will arise. The only one who can stop You from arising is God not devil, if God is on our side who can be against us.

The only one who can lift you is God. If you haven't surrender your life to the only one who can lift you surrender to Him today, it is wise to surrender to the only one that can help you.

Saviour, we just want to thank You for Your word, accept our thanks in Jesus name, we commit the people who have come to surrender their lives into Your hands, have mercy on them, save their souls, forgive their sins, please, receive them into the family of God, let Your blood wash their sins, and i pray anytime they call on You, You will answer their prayer, thank You Almighty.

In a moment Your children will be crying unto You, as they call on You answer them today, release to them the power to become what You want them to become. This day will be a day none of us will ever forget, thank You Almighty, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

If you believe God will answer you today, stand and shout Hallelujah.

PRAYER
Father, arise for me and defend me and help me to arise.
