Text: Isaiah 54:1–10


Theme: God is enlarging your tent even after the wilderness.
Season: Lent – Week of Recommitment & Resurrection Readiness


🔑 Key Verse

"Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes." – Isaiah 54:2 (NIV)



📖

🕊️ Lesson Title: Stretch, Don’t Shrink

Text: Isaiah 54:1–10
Theme: Expanding into Resurrection – A Call to Rebuild, Rejoice, and Ready the Nation


🌄 Kingdom Focus: Resurrection Readiness

As New Unity Nation journeys from the wilderness toward resurrection, this lesson speaks to our collective call: to build beyond barrenness, to sing through the silence, and to prepare for the overflow. Even when exile echoes louder than evidence, Heaven still speaks: “Enlarge the place of your tent.”


🔥 Kingdom Connection:

Isaiah 54 is a blueprint for empowerment. God tells a grieving people: Build anyway.
This is the heart of New Unity—mobilizing saints to prepare even before the miracle.
