James 4:10, “Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, And He will lift you up.”
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Today God comes searching for you with His word at your doorstep with an auspicious word from the book of James 4:10, “Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, And He will lift you up.”
My dear children of God, everyone desires to prosper, grow and move forward in life. But what is the way to achieve Your goal? That is what God wants to tell you through this verse. He is showing a route and if you follow this route then you will be blessed. What is the way? It is to humble yourselves before God. This means that you should not have pride, ego or be pompous in life, or be very showy. Instead, you should humble yourselves before God and men. When you humble yourselves and ask God, He will be pleased with you, and answer your prayers. So, all you got to do is to humble yourself. Then God will lift you up. And he will adore and admire you.
The Bible says, ‘Whoever humbles himself shall be exalted’. So, for those children who wish to move forward, it is not enough if you work hard, but you need to humble yourself. Humbleness is very important in your life. In the Bible, we can see Pharaoh brought out Joseph from the prison gate and said to him, “I heard that you can interpret dreams and you foretell what is to happen and those things really happen. Is it true?” Here we see that the king himself is talking high of Joseph, who came to Egypt as a slave. Then Joseph said, “It is not so my Lord, not me it is the Lord who is giving you the solution to your problem. It is true that I speak but it is the Lord, who is within me and counsels me as to what and how I should interpret. It is God who foretells the happenings, through me”. Thus Joseph did not boast about himself that he is capable of predicting or interpreting the dream but he glorifies his God before Pharaoh. He transfers his personal exaltation upon God whom he worships, and this is the truth.
Since Joseph humbled himself and exalted God, he was made the governor of Egypt. He held the position next to the Pharaoh himself. See how God exalted Joseph. So, today God has shown you a way to go forward in life. Hold on to His route and move on with a humble attitude then you will be lifted up in your life.
My dear children of God, do not be proud of your caste, your beauty or your colour, your job, or the power and authority that you hold. Throw away all these things. Admit to the Lord saying “ Lord, I achieved all these things only by your grace. And I am thankful for all these things which You have granted to me.”’ Then God will make you sit in the highest position in your life. God will bless you all the more.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse, “Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, And He will lift you up.” Lord, you have fed your children with these thoughts today. So, taking these principles let my children grow and be established on the face of this earth. Help them move forward in their education, in their job, and in their business. If there are children who are waiting for many years to be lifted up in their position. Let them throw away all pride, and may they humble themselves and thus move forward in life. Exalt them with honour and glory.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
Exodus 15:26, “For I am the Lord who heals you”.
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Today’s life-giving word is taken from the book of Exodus 15:26, “For I am the Lord who heals you”.
Today many of you are suffering from various diseases. And you are pressed down because you are spending all your income on medical treatment and there are hardly any savings. You are spending all your hard earned money and so crying over it. Therefore, the Lord who is concerned much about you is telling you “I am the Lord who heals you.” By this word, your sickness will be healed and you shall be restored to good health. The verse says, “I will put none of these disease which I have brought on the Egyptians, upon you, For I am the Lord who heals you”. Lord looks at you and says, I will not send any of the diseases which I had sent upon the Egyptians, to destroy you. God is so concerned about you and He cares for you.
This word of God will enter into your bodies, and heal you of your sickness. You will be healed as you apply this word of God in your heart. What type of disease do you have? Is it Cancer? Typhoid, Psoriasis, TB, weakness in the heart, do you have diabetics? Today God is going to uproot all these diseases from your body. God, Himself is the healer of your disease. He himself is a great physician. Today. His word will work as a healing agent that will heal you of all your illness. When you are sick call upon His name. He will come and heal you.
My dear children of God, we see that 2000 years ago, when Jesus was on the face of this earth, He healed all those who called upon His name. He delivered all those who came in search of Him, from their problems, no matter, what they suffered from. In the Bible, we can see a woman who had suffered for 12 long years from the issue of blood. She sold all the wealth she had to heal her disease but she could not be healed. She was suffering from hemorrhages and no could cure her. So, she went behind Jesus and touched the fringe of his garment. Immediately her flow of blood was stopped. Thus, God gave her healing. Maybe you are suffering from any kind of disease. Please ask God to heal you of your illness holding on to the word of God. Surely, He will heal you by the power of His might.
PRAYER:
Our loving heavenly Father, as you said in your word today that “I am the Lord who heals you. ”, we claim it in Jesus Name in our lives. Let my children be healed from all the diseases. Heal them from their pain and agony. Whatever disease was thought that could not be healed, let them be healed today. People think certain diseases cannot be healed forever. But you heal them by your miracle-working power. Uproot every form of the disease and perform miracles for them. We thank You for touching the lives of Your children.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Today’s life-giving word is taken from the book of Luke 19:17 “And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.”
The Bible raises the question “But who can find a faithful man?” (Proverbs 20:6). Only a man of integrity will prosper and progress in his personal life, spiritual life, and in the work of his hands. The owner of a business will be more diligent, industrious, and virtuous than his employees to reap a bountiful profit. This is what the Bible says, “A faithful man will be richly blessed” (Proverbs 28:20).
God will exalt those who honor and glorify Him. When Joseph was in prison, Pharoah had a dream. No one could decipher the meaning of the dream. But God gave Joseph the grace to interpret the dream, this caused Joseph to receive praise from Pharoah. Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you. (Genesis 41:39). Pharoah set Joseph over all the land of Egypt.
We see a similar situation in Daniel’s life. King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream of a golden statue, and no one could interpret his dream. When Daniel interpreted the dream, King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, prostrate before Daniel, and commanded that they should present an offering and incense to him (Daniel 2:46). The king promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts; and he made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief administrator over all the wise men of Babylon (Daniel 2:48).
These two young men, Daniel and Joseph were filled with the Holy Spirit and were able to interpret the dreams and its hidden meaning. But they never boasted of their ability to interpret the dream instead gave God all the glory and honor and humbly said, “God will reveal it to you.”
Daniel said, “But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days.” (Daniel 2:28).
In the same way Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.” (Genesis 41:16).
Beloved children of God, both Joseph and Daniel honored God before Kings. They humbly declared that without the Lord we cannot interpret the hidden meaning behind the dreams. Likewise, if you honor God in whatever you do, He will lift you up.
Decide today to always honor God in whatever you do. Determine in your hearts to be faithful and truthful in the eyes of the Lord. God will be with you and accomplish mighty things through you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, thank you for guiding my children so far. As you were with Daniel and Joseph in their youth be with them and guide them. Give them the grace to live faithful lives, obey your commandments and honor you entire life. Help my children to live lives that are pleasing in your sight.
In Jesus name I pray.
Amen.
Jonah 2:2, “I cried unto the Lord, because of my affliction, And He answered me.”
My dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Today’s life-giving word is taken from the book of Jonah 2:2, “I cried unto the Lord, because of my affliction, And He answered me.”
My dear children of God, today many of you are caught up in a tight corner situation. Some of you are caught up in financial crises, some suffer in their work spot, some are caught up by members of their own families who cause mental harassment to them, some are suffering because of their own wife, siblings, or by their own children. Due to pressure from members of their own family, terrible trouble shoots up and they suffer from stress, and some sink into depression. So, while they suffer from a period of affliction, and while you travel in the midst of affliction and tight corners, there is someone who could deliver, and helps you from such a situation. I would like to share a few words about such a person. God says, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble and I will deliver you.” Jesus is the one who is all-powerful and He is happy to help you. He alone can help you when you call upon Him.
In the Bible, when David was in a similar situation and attacked fromall four corners, he said, ‘Lord, I praise and thank You for delivering me, from all these hard situations’. God delivered him. Jonah was inside the belly of a huge fish. He couldn’t even breathe freely. He was under the pressure of death. But Jonah, even from the belly of the fish realized his mistake and so he cried out to God for help. He told the Lord that only He could save him from this tight corner situation and deliver him from the mouth of the fish. God had commanded the fish to vomit Jonah on the shore. And the fish obeyed the word of God and left Jonah on the shore safely. Some of you might be caught, in a troubling situation, as Jonah was in the mouth of the fish. Today, you also can call upon the name of the Lord just as God heard the cry of Jonah and delivered him from the mouth of the fish, God will deliver you from your problem however big it may be. God has said, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble”. If you call upon Him, He will come immediately and deliver you. God who delivered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the furnace of fire, is able to deliver you from your problem. God who caused Daniel to escape from the mouth of the Lion, is our God. Today He will deliver.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse that “ I cried unto the Lord, because of my affliction, And he answered me.” Dear Lord, deliver my children from whatever tight corner they are caught up with. Lord, change all their troubled situation and be in the midst of their trouble. “If the Son sets you free then you shall be free indeed”, says, the word of God. Give them real deliverance, open the walls of heaven and bless them. Change all these hard and troubled situations and grant them peace and joy.
In Jesus name we pray ,
Amen.
John 16:13, “However when He, the Spirit of Truth has come, He will guide you into all the Truth”.
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious life-giving word of the Lord for today is taken from the book of John 16:13, “However when He, the Spirit of Truth has come, He will guide you into all the Truth”.
When the Spirit of God comes into your life then He will lead you into the Truth. The Truth here means “The Word of God.” So, when the spirit of truth comes, then He will lead you into the Truth. Why should a man be led by the word of God? This is a question that may arise while you read this verse. Why should a man be led by the word of God is because there is life for a man only in the word of God. There is forgiveness in the word of God and only through the word of God, He will be able to come out of all the knots that he is entangled in.
The word of God is like medicine, that heals the wounds of people and it comforts them. In the Bible, David says, “I have hid thy word in my heart that I may not sin against thee”. Word of God is important to protect us from committing sin in our life. The Holy Spirit will tell from within what to do and what not to do. He will guide you in the right way. That is why, Joseph when he was troubled by Potipher’s wife, to commit sin, he says, How shall I sin against God ? Saying this he threw away his mantle or cloak and ran away from her as he did not want to spoil the temple of God within him. Because he ran away from committing sin, what happened? He did suffer for sometime in the jail, it is true that he was punished unjustly but, in the end, a day came when God honoured his holiness. And since he obeyed the word of God and guarded his purity or chastity, God exalted him as the Governor of Egypt. So, we see that the Holy Spirit instructed him not to commit sin or do anything against his conscience. So, the word of God protects a man from committing sin.
My Dear children of God, let the Holy Spirit stay within you to guide you. Give room for the Holy Spirit into your heart today. When the Spirit of God comes inside of you then you shall receive strength. You should invite the Holy Spirit by saying “Lord, I invite you into my heart, to come and remain inside of me.’’ He will direct you in all circumstances how to speak, how to work, He will teach you everything. So today you give room for the Holy Spirit and the word of God that He teaches, into your heart. Then He will perform great things for you.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse that ‘when the Holy Spirit comes into our hearts, He will lead us into all the Truth’. Holy Spirit come inside the heart of my children and dwell within them. Lord, help them to walk in the way of truth. Let the spirit of God break all the barriers, and cut down all the knots in their life and let all those who say that they are suffering from certain disease, receive divine healing in their bodies. Let the word of God deliver them from the spirit of darkness. Give them all that they need and honour them.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
