Set your house in order...!

II Kings 20:1-6 NKJV

In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says the Lord : ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live.’ ” Then he turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord , saying, “Remember now, O Lord , I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what  was good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. And it happened, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “Return and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people, ‘Thus says the Lord , the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord . And I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for My own sake, and for the sake of My servant David.” ’ ”

Shalom! Day #173. Do you know that God's desire is that you set in order everything about your life, ministry, family and everything else? Let's pray. Father, give us wisdom and knowledge to set in order everything about our lives,  ministry, family. Help us to walk accordingly to Yout word and statutes. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Set in order? What do I need to set in order? Yes we must set in order our house. No, I don't mean that you need to decorate your house or to renovate our house. What I meant was to put in order the leadership of the house of God. To put in order our lives before the Lord. To put in order the statutes of God in our church, ministry and every thing God has entrusted to us. God is near to those who walk in the ways of God and when you pray, God answers your prayers. Let us draw near to God with a true heart in full assurance of faith.

In today's verse, we see how God warned Hezekiah “Thus says the Lord : Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live." And what happened was Hezekiah fall sick, and he prayed with all his heart to God and God extended another 15 years of his life. If you see in the previous chapters, as soon as Hezekiah began to reign as a king, he reopened the temple of God and began to clean up and set the house of God in order. Because of this act God extended his life and God acknowledges Hezekiah as the "leader of His people." We need to set this generation in order according to the Lord's statutes and commandments, so that God can bring healing into this generation, extends His love towards this generation. Everyone of you who are the leaders of this generation, God is warning us, reminding us to again set in order this generation.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
