You may have heard this well known verse from Isaiah; ‘Learn to do good; seek justice, rebuke the oppressor; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow’ (Isaiah 1:17, NKJV).
Through the prophet Isaiah, God speaks to his people with very strong language around the futility and hypocrisies of their religious endeavours.
While much energy was spent ‘doing’ religion, their heart was far from the heart of God. He says that ‘sacrifices and festivals that lack authenticity make him feel tired’.
God’s heart is for the oppressed, it’s for those who have been robbed of security and support.
When we surrender ourselves to God the Father, we are able to authentically stand for the oppressed and make a real difference for the marginalised. As we align our hearts with God’s heart, we will have the capacity to make an incredible Kingdom difference.

Hello Dave and Alix,
Thankyou so much for your brief note of encouragement and empowerment.
I enjoyed the passage of Scripture that you have used here, to speak to us more and to help to reflect to us, the true source of this passage of scripture from the Bible.
It is my favourite book, in the whole wide world- and certainly know Why?
Today, in this morning’s church service, we looked at the definition of as people, men and women, as Christian.
As you are well aware, the phrase, simply means,
little christian. We are all Christians, depending on our age or our race or how big, small or tiny we are!
Thanks for your genuine kindness, joy, passion, energy viabrance and inspiration this morning and I hope your November series, on “Love oneanother.”
You have really inspired me, though your words of wisdom.
So, a huge Thankyou to you. I hope you have a blessed XMAS and a wonderful festive season to remember!
I wish you all at the Energiser Life church family, a very Safe, a happy and prosperous Festive Season and Holiday Season in 2019! I wish you all a very precious and a meaningful Christmas and I hope it is a marvellous time for each and everyone of you!
blessings,
