The Bartizan Of The Smallest That Will Save The World (Isaiah 60:21-22) 8/11/2024
Within the Gospel, the greatest gift that God has given us, there are three things (characteristics) of God. First is complete love, second is eternal blessings, and third is absolute power. Verse 21 of the passage today describes the blessing of this Gospel.
First, it says, “All your people will be righteous.” For the lives that were contaminated, fallen, and full of shame, God revealed His love for us through the blood of His Son that covered all our transgressions and sins (Isaiah 53:5, Romans 5:8). This is what Christ did as the Priest. Even if you fall, all you need to do is hold onto that love. That is why the Gospel is complete love.
Second, it says, “They will possess the land forever.” God will restore the lives that are being trampled on by the world and Satan. He will no longer let us live a life that is stolen and lost. This is what Christ did as the King. Are you facing hardships? We will have victory in the name of Christ who is the King of kings (Revelation 17:14). Along with Christ, we will live like kings that rule the world (Revelation 22:5). That is why the Gospel is an eternal blessing.
Third, it says, “They are the shoot I have planted, the work of my hands, for the display of my splendor.” He will become the way and change all things in life into evidence. This is what Christ did as the True Prophet (John 14:6, Revelation 3:8). That is why the Gospel is an Absolute Power. No matter how small or lacking we are, all we need is to be within the Gospel.
That is why verse 22 says, “The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the Lord; in its time I will do it swiftly.” What we must do is to hold onto this covenant as our own. We must create the vessel, or system, that allows for God’s Complete Love, Eternal Blessings, and Absolute Power to work in our lives. This is called the Bartizan. No matter how small we are, all we need is this Bartizan inside us. Then God will send His angels and work without rest (Isaiah 62:6-7).
- Discover my life’s worth first (life view, values). I am the vessel that God chose to use (Acts 9:15).
1) Original man was within God’s Love (Genesis 1:27), God’s Power (Genesis 2:7), and Blessings (Genesis 2:18). After the fall of Adam in Genesis 3, mankind became depraved (Romans 3:10), lost all glory (Romans 3:23), and was destined to live oppressed by the devil and the world (John 8:44, Ephesians 2:2-3).
2) God sent His Son Christ to deliver us from this and restore all things.
① Even if it’s a life deep in sin, the moment you place the love of God that is in Christ, you will no longer be cursed. We now become those who have God’s righteousness (Genesis 3:21, Galatians. 3:27, Romans 3:24).
② The moment you place God’s blessings in the life that has failed and will fail again, you are no longer someone bound to fail. We can boldly go before God’s Throne and enjoy the grace and Blessings that God gives to help us (Hebrews 4:16).
③ The moment you place God’s Power within a life that seems weak and small, you are no longer weak or small. We may seem weak, but we are strong (2Corinthians 4:7-9). When we are weak, God’s power is all the more revealed (2Corinthians 12:9).
- Fill up with the things of God. That is Worship, Meditation, and Prayer.
1) Worship is accepting God’s Love and confirming it. It is a time to become enriched with God’s Love. Without this Blessing, we are always lonely and seeking the love of others. That can lead to obsession and addiction over things of the world. There is a Greek word “Proskuneo” that means “worship.” It means to go forth towards one (pros), and kiss the hand (kuneo). Thus, believers find happiness in Worship.
2) Meditation means to ruminate. The Blessing of Meditation overcomes all things (Joshua 1:8, Psalm 1:1-3). During meditation, we are placing the Word within us so that the Word can work in our lives (John 15:7). Then we are restoring our faith regarding that covenant (1Thessalonians 2:13). If we do not have time of meditation, we will be bound by our own standards, scars, and levels.
3) Prayer means to look upon Him. People ultimately look to something (environment, reality, self, others). We must look upon Him 24 hours, look upon the Absolute Power of 25, and hold onto the Eternal Evidence. With the power of that strength, we overcome darkness (Mark 9:29). All things will become Eternal Evidence to save 237 and 5000 tribes.
- For believers who enjoy this mystery, no small thing is small. We must put this into practice. For those who fail, they possess the qualities of someone who fails. One of those things is the fact that they crumble before the smallest things. Small doubt, small unbelief, small sin can cause everything to crumble. The small foods you eat daily may pile up to either create toxins or health. We can either save or kill people with the smallest things we say. If we break even the smallest of our promises, it can cause our relationships to crumble and lose our credibility.
1) Even faith that is small as that of a child can experience great miracles (5 Loaves 2 Fish). That is why Jesus told his disciples, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:20). If we wrote down all the evidence that God has given us for our confessions and devotions, it would be countless.
2) We can change the future (parable of talents) with the smallest things we do (small devotions and efforts). The man with one talent took it lightly (comparison mindset). What did the Lord say to the men with two and five talents? “You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.” This is the reason God used Joseph (Genesis 39:4), and David (Psalm 78:70-72). There are many examples in the world (Carnegie’s successor).
3) We can change the world even through the smallest people we meet(300 Warriors of Gedeon). The 7 remnants were all small people in the eyes of others. However, when God worked, they became people that changed the world. Jesus said, “what you do for the least is what you did for me.”
Conclusion – The theme for the World Remnant Conference was “Eternal Inheritance, Masterpiece, and Legacy.” The conclusion is putting it into practice in the smallest things (Small Bartizan). God is our Eternal Inheritance (Background, Possession, Blessings), but us and the Remnants, who seem like nothing, are God’s Inheritance. That is how precious we are. Whatever we do as we enjoy 24, 25, and Eternity, however small, will be Eternal Masterpieces that God delights in. God will show evidence of 300% (100% Specialty, 100% Field, 100% System). The small faith we restore, the small things we do and the small people we save will become the Eternal Legacy, that we will enjoy. May we start with the smallest actions that God desires as Small Bartizans.
