A child has been born for us.
We have been given a son who will be our ruler.

Eternal Father and Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9 v6.
The Spirit of the LORD God has taken control of me!
The LORD has chosen and sent me
to tell the oppressed the good news,
to heal the brokenhearted,
and to announce freedom for prisoners and captives. Isaiah 61 v1
Hundreds of years before Jesus was born, Isaiah the prophet announced God’s rescue plan for us, his people.
Daily Prayer: Thank you Wonderful Advisor and Mighty God, Eternal Father and Prince of Peace for coming to rescue us.
Now we dedicate ourselves to continue your mission to bring good news, healing and freedom to the oppressed, broken-hearted, prisoners and captives, beginning in Hillside, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe and wherever we go.

Daily Bible reading: Isaiah 9 v1-7
1 But those who have suffered will no longer be in pain. The territories of Zebulun and Naphtali in Galilee were once hated. But this land of the Gentiles across the Jordan River and along the Mediterranean Sea will be greatly respected.
2 Those who walked in the dark have seen a bright light.
And it shines upon everyone who lives in the land
of darkest shadows.
3 Our LORD, you have made your nation stronger.
Because of you, its people are glad and celebrate
like workers at harvest time
or like soldiers dividing up what they have taken.
4 You have broken the power of those who abused
and enslaved your people.
You have rescued them just as you saved your people
from Midian.
5 The boots of marching warriors
and the blood-stained uniforms have been fed to flames
and eaten by fire.
6 A child has been born for us. We have been given a son
who will be our ruler.
His names will be Wonderful Advisor and Mighty God,
Eternal Father and Prince of Peace.
7 His power will never end; peace will last forever.
He will rule David’s kingdom and make it grow strong.
He will always rule with honesty and justice.
The LORD All-Powerful will make certain
that all of this is done.
