LIVING IN ZION
[[Isa 66:7]] KJV Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
Many have said that a man must suffer before he enjoys. Birth pains precede delivery: it’s a natural order. Almost all pregnant women go through it. But there are exceptions. There are those who, in spite of procedures, defy the order. Our opening text says, ‘BEFORE Zion travailed, she brought forth…” Glory to God!
Every delivery involves travailing and pains. But Zion didn’t have to go through it. BEFORE she’ll travail, she already brought forth! She defied the order. I see protocols defied because of you. You are a Zionite. You live in Zion. Hebrews 12 says, “…ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels” *(Heb 12:22).
You ‘are come to Zion.’ Here, our experiences are different from that of the world. In Zion, we live in the overflow! In Zion, we can not be sick: we live above pain and infirmity. Isaiah tells us that “the inhabitant (of Zion) shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity” *(Isa 33:24). We can not say we are sick because sickness shall not be our experience! Hallelujah!
It’s not everyone who must suffer before enjoying. Not everyone experiences pain before delivery. In Zion, before pain thinks of coming, we put to birth. Hallelujah! Before evil thinks of reaching you, you’d have overcame already! YOU ARE IN THE OVERFLOW. All things shall abound to you. Divine exemption is on you. You live in Zion. Life will be super glorious for you this year. And just in case you have fallen into some sickness or evil, you are out NOW in Jesus’ name! Only believe! Glory!
Confession:
I live in Zion. I live above troubles. I defy the statuesque. I live in the overflow. My life is super glorious in Christ. Zion is my home. Glory to God! The experiences of the world shall never be mine in Jesus’ name!
