MY FRIENDS, ARE WE REPAIRERS OF THE BREACH?
“And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.” Isaiah 58:12 (NKJV)
My friends who are the repairers of the breach? According to scripture, they are watchmen who “cry aloud and spare not as they lift up their voice like a trumpet.” Is. 58:1 58:1 (NKJV) They also present a message directly from the royal domain of the heavenly courts.
God’s message to Israel and for His chosen generation today is a call for repentance, reformation and restoration, this is essential before the promises in God’s word can be fully appreciated.
My friends at this point Israel had already been warned “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for
light and light for darkness….” Is. 5:20 (NIV) But there can be no misunderstanding between right and wrong if we are following the basic principle in His word.
And those principles are, “love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. ’This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31(NKJV)
In addition, there should be no confusion who our neighbor is and what our responsibility is to them. My friends, each day we must take a complete narrative of our lives as leaders, for leadership is a “shared responsibility” that we take on with the Master.
And as God’s leaders, we must develop a passion for being “repairers of the breach” as we tell ourselves and the world that “every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us” must be eliminated from our lives as we seek God’s Presence daily, while inspiring the world to share our vision for God’s kingdom and life eternal.
But we must first have our feet solidly on the ground spiritually in order to move ahead. There are always times when we will need 
to crawl, slow down, or take breaks, but the most essential thing [as “repairers of the breach”] is, we must stay focused never losing sight of our goal, restore and restoration, as we move towards the promise land.
As God’s Chosen we must always “cry aloud and spare not as we lift up our voices like a trumpet.” If not “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit? Luke 3:39 (NIV) But we must “discipline [our] body like an athlete, training it to do what it should.
Otherwise, [there is a] fear that after [leading] others [we ourselves] might be disqualified.” 1 Cor. 9:27 (NLT) for we are “no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.” Eph. 2:19-22 (NKJV)
Israel longed for God to return them to their own land and rebuild the walls and the temple. They were broken and desperately 
wanted some sort of revival that would make them once again Gods favorites.
But in Isaiah it seems to indicate that they were not willing to be “repairers of the breach,” by allowing Christ total access to their heart while realizing that “the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.”
But, each repairer, must make a personal challenge “to restore” as we cry out “not my will but thy will be done” and then a revival will take place in us as repairers and within those we lead as we all begin to develop a propensity from within to stay focused on God’s kingdom and to serve as Christ served and through our faith and endurance carry our cross as we become empowered by the grace of God, while forever representing Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
