WHEN CELEBRATION CEASES – PASTOR W.F KUMUYI
KEY VERSE: “The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish” (Isaiah 24:4).
TEXT: Isaiah 24:1-15 (KJV)
1 Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. 2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word. 4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. 5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. 7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh. 8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth. 9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in. 11 There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone. 12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea.15 Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
Hurricane Irma hit Puerto Rico on September 6, 2017, as a Category 5 storm, causing widespread devastation. The then-governor imposed a curfew, resulting in the closure of drinking bars during the storm. Despite the temporary halt in nightlife, as soon as the curfew was lifted, people rushed back to bars like La Placita to resume their regular activities. The storm disrupted the city’s usual loud music and night parties, but the community quickly returned to their socializing and revelry once the danger had passed.

When God judges, there is no wine, singing, or celebration. There are no songs and cheer and no parties. The earth will mourn and groan in pain for the severity of God’s wrath poured on it. Prophet Isaiah paints a picture of this in today’s passage. The city is in ruins; the gates, typically closed to protect the city, are now battered. Nothing is left when the olive tree is beaten, and the city is made desolate. The voices of the bride and groom are stunningly silent. The nation’s natural scenery is devastated. We see how God will empty the earth, implying that the earth is full. The hand of God will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants. This is similar to what happened with Noah, the flood, and the ark.
God will judge everyone regardless of their status. Material wealth won’t matter in the end. Our foundations might be wrong, needing a change. Global warming is already taking its toll, with effects including melting ice and rising sea levels. Africa’s climate is overheating, and Europe is facing more intense heat waves. The earth is showing signs of distress, and we need to take action. It’s time to view the world from a different perspective and address the issues at hand. We can already see the impact of human activities on the environment, and it’s essential to make changes now.
It is time to pray to God to have mercy, backed up by a corresponding lifestyle of repentance and humility. We do not approach God to have Him dispense grace like a vending machine. He will heal our land if we repent genuinely and embrace His ways.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Celebrating when we ought to be mourning is a confirmation of a lost mind.
