KING UZZIAH TO DIE?
Isaiah 6:1-8

Something must die before something else gets life. As a new believer old-self must die before the new birth in the Lord. Until the death of King Uzziah, Isaiah could not see, hear or receive God’s call of duty. What could the reigning time of King Uzziah represent in the timing of the calling in the life of Isaiah? Could it be have a time of hindrance? Hindrance is a possible weapon of the devil. The devil has no limitation in his attempt to deny the purpose of God but there is a limitation as to how much he can do to delay or deny whom his victim is. Before Isaiah heard the voice that sent him out as a representative of God, a number of things happened. The first of all was the death of King Uzziah. It wasn’t until King Uzziah died that Isaiah could see what he saw. It was his seeing that set him up for God’s calling. This is why it is important to ask God to destroy whatever represents King Uzziah in our life. The Bible declared in Isaiah 6:1, “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.” Isaiah went further to describe what he saw after the death of King Uzziah. Does this relate to your situation? Do you know if your hindrance is still well, alive, and active? Prayer unto God will definitely move your hindrance; the one that represents King Uzziah will die a permanent death. After Isaiah had been able to see, he recognized himself as one that needed a cleansing touch. He said, “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the king, The LORD of hosts” (Isaiah 6:5). Isaiah cried out in repentance when he saw all that was in the presence of the LORD of host. Isaiah cried for the Lord’s cleansing in his life. Isaiah’s cry sent for a needed refinement. Isaiah 6:6, “Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it and said: Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.” With the death of King Uzziah, Isaiah began to see, he was able to repent and he received cleansing. Isaiah also heard from the Lord. With repentance, cleansing and seeing, Isaiah got to the position of hearing. Isaiah 6:8, “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me.”’
Prayer for today: Ask God to sentence every representative of King Uzziah in your life to a permanent death.
