Dearly Beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious life giving word of the Lord, for today is from the book of Isaiah 62:12, ‘And you shall be called Sought out, a city not forsaken’.
All of us have been given names by our parents. However, today, the Bible calls you by a special name, called ‘ A city not forsaken’. It means that the Lord is crowning you with the name, ‘ No longer forsaken’. Perhaps all these days you had been forsaken by others. But God does not want you to be called as forsaken. The Bible says,”you shall no longer be termed as forsaken’. But you shall be called, Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; and your land shall be married”.
The Lord is going to perform immeasurable miracles in all that you were forsaken. Many say, my husband has forsaken me, my children have forsaken me, My boss with whom I worked for many years has forsaken me, and sent me out of work. You may be distressed thinking about your forsaken state of life. You may say, the doctors have forsaken me. It is difficult for me to survive any more. In this manner you may be in the fear of death. But today, the Lord is giving you another name called ‘Not forsaken’.
In another context the Lord says, “I will not leave you as orphans. Sometimes you may feel lonely as you don’t find support in your life. We start thinking that we are like orphans and no one is there to care for us . But remember our God has promised to never leave us nor forsake us.
We read about Hagar in the bible. She was forsaken by Abraham. She along with her son wandered aimlessly in the desert. When the water she had exhausted, she put the boy in the wilderness of Beersheba. She did not want to see her child die in front of her and burst out in tears. But God saw her and provided them with water out of spring and blessed Ishmael to become a great nation.
Today like Hagar we may be forsaken and helpless but remember God sees your plight. He will help you and you will be called sought out.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank you Lord for telling us that you will not forsake us. ‘. Stretch out your hand and bless My children, in all that they have been forsaken. ‘Stretch out Your hand and lift them up in their life. Stretch out Your hand and cause them to live. From this day, let them see blessings in all things, in their work place, in their business centre and in their ministry. Let them be blessed, in all that they do and wherever they go.
In Jesus’ Name we pray,
Amen!
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious life-giving word of the Lord, for today is from the book of Deuteronomy 14:2, “Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession.”
My dear children of God, you are the chosen children of God. It means that Jesus has chosen you as His own children. The Lord has given this blessing to those He wanted to be saved. We have many relatives in this world. Some will help us. Some have the heart to help but may have no opportunity to do so. Some may have the opportunity to help but will not have the heart to do so. When you are surrounded by such relatives, then it is necessary to make Jesus as your greatest relative today.
God has accepted us as His children and has given the birthright to call Him Abba Father. He is the Father and we are His children. He is our lovable relative who gave His life for us. He is our blood relative who redeemed us by His blood. A Father and child cannot be separated. It is an inseparable relationship.
As children of God we have all the rights to enjoy the blessings of our Heavenly Father. The earth and its fullness belong to God. Silver and gold belong to Him. He is the One who has all authority over the earth in His hands. Such a God is our Father. When He is our Father, what do we lack? We have nothing to lack.
The bible says, the lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. Psalm 34;10
Yes we will not lack any good thing when we seek him with all our heart like a child .
Today will you accept the Lord you as your Father. Tell the Lord “I am your child.” You have written all the blessings in the Bible as a will for me. A father will write a will for his child. But the Lord has written many wills in the Bible for us. All these things are going to surround you and bless you. So, the Lord is truthful enough to solve all your debts and He will meet all your needs. He will give you all that you need. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, You have accepted us as your own people. We thank you for the relationship of a father and child. Give us all the blessings you have kept for us on this earth. Lord grant my children all the wealth that they are supposed to get from the Father. May the blessings and anointing of God be poured upon all those who are reading this message? May my children live under Your care. Let all the auspicious events that arehindered in their family begin to take place in theirhouses. Let my children’s financial needs be met and may they take the left over in many baskets.
In Jesus Name, we pray,
Amen!
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ obeyed His parents in everything (Luke 2:51). When you obey God’s word in everything, He is mighty to bring about marvellous miracles in your life. Are you obedient to your parents and family members? Ponder over it. In case you have been disobedient, submit yourself to God and seek His help to lead a life pleasing to God. When Apostle Paul writes about obedience, he says: “submitting to one another in the fear of God.” (Ephesians 5:21). Yes, we need to be submissive.
When we obey God’s word, He changes adverse circumstances in our favour. Perhaps all the circumstances in your life are unfavourable and against your progress. But when you obey God’s word and submit yourselves to Him, He is mighty to change the hostile situations in your favour!
We read in the Bible in Genesis 31:7, 24 about the grim state of Jacob’s plight. Laban troubled Jacob. Jacob was deceived by Laban and his wages were changed ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt Jacob. Even though Laban put Jacob through many calamities and catastrophes, God did not allow Laban to crush Jacob because He was with Jacob. When Laban intended to destroy Jacob, God appeared to him in a dream and warned Laban to leave Jacob alone.
Since God was with Jacob, he became exceedingly prosperous (Genesis 30:43). In Genesis 32:10 we read how Jacob thanked God with a grateful heart. He says, “I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness You have shown Your servant. I had only my staff when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two camps.” Jacob was victorious because of his obedience to God’s word.
Today the circumstances in your life may be unfavourable? Hold on to God ! He will change the adverse situations in your favour! Do not be worried!
When you make a commitment to obey the Lord’s word, He will gladden you with countless miracles! He will clearly show you the way you should go! So be bold!
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day.Father, I implore you to be with my children as you were with Jacob in the Bible. Help them to be obedient to you and others. Make all the things favourable to them. I believe that You can turn any circumstance in their favour. Guide them to live a life of obedience to You.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
Dearly beloved, I greet you all in the sweet name of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. There is a beautiful verse which says“..But the righteous are bold as a lion.” (Proverbs 28:1). The lion is the bravest animal among all animals. When we live a righteous life in the eyes of God courage comes into us. Satan’s main aim is to terrify people. We have often heard people say, “Those strange noises in the dark gave me such a fright that I got fever.” The greatest weapon a soldier has in the battlefield is courage. Consider Israel, it’s a small country but all the powerful countries are terrified of it because the Israelites are very courageous people. To survive in this wicked world, we need the courage given by God to defeat the world, devil, and flesh!
David was able to stand courageously against Goliath because God was with him. He victoriously killed Goliath (1 Samuel 17:46-50). This month let us meditate on the different ways to receive this courage from God!
Firstly, we receive strength and courage when we pray clinging to His promises. There are amazing promises in the Bible which we can claim and pray when faced with problems and struggles. They will save you by serving as an anchor to your soul. God’s presence and His promises will strengthen you.
Secondly, We can receive boldness from the blood of Jesus, “Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way” (Hebrews 10:20).
Once a man starts sinning, he loses his confidence. Adam and his wife Eve hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden as they lost their confidence after sinning (Genesis 3:8). We are also in the same state. Even if you have inadvertently fallen into sin, do not sink deeper in it but reach out to God for forgiveness who will deliver you. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7).
No matter how big a ship is if there is a leak, sinking is inevitable. Similarly, a man who sins cannot continue to live a peaceful, courageous life. Sanctify yourselves today! Overcome the world and live courageously!
Prayer: Loving heavenly father, we praise You with a grateful heart. Lord bless every person reading this message. Give them the grace to praise You amid their difficulties and help them to receive Your courage to overcome them. Guide them miraculously in Your ways. Bless them with joy and peace.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious life-giving word of the Lord, for today is from the book of Psalm 134:3, “The Lord who made heaven and earth, bless you from Zion”.
We have seen that Zion is a major theme throughout the Psalms. Zion represents the place where God meets with His people, that is where God’s blessing is found. God’s blessing starts from Zion but then it goes wherever you go, because he is the Maker of heaven and earth, and the whole earth belongs to him. His blessing is not just for our heavenly abode, but for every day as we live here on earth as well.
The Lord loves to bless you. People surrounding you may curse you, but Jesus loves to bless you. In the Bible, we can see that the last thing which the Lord Jesus did after He was risen from the dead, and before he was taken up to heaven, was that He took his beloved disciples to the top of a mountain in the village of Bethany and there He stretched out his hands to bless them, Later He was taken up to heaven. All the disciples saw Him being lifted up to heaven. Today, the Lord is stretching out His hands to bless you. A great blessing and anointing is coming from His hands and some are being delivered, healed, some are getting a new life, some are receiving a clear mind, promotions and so on. It is all coming from His hands. His blessed hands are stretched towards you. It is said that blessings will rest upon the heads of the righteous. From now, on all the blessings that you require, and that which will remain with you always, are being placed upon you. The Lord is not going to give you blessings that will remain for a short while and then disappear, but the blessings will remain, with you forever. Today, the Lord will give you all the blessings that you long awaited for and have not received yet as you humble yourselves before Him and be faithful to Him.
Prayer: Holy Father, we thank you! Many of my children are ready to receive Your blessing today. You have promised to bless my children from Zion. Let the God of blessings, bless my children with a permanent blessing, and let it remain forever. Let them receive a blessing that heals and the blessing that performs miracles. Let them get the blessing of a life partner, the blessings of a government job, the blessing of profit, the blessing of a child, and the blessing of a house of their own, the blessing of a promotion, the blessing of a favourable judgement, the blessing of peace and happiness rest upon their heads.
In Jesus Name, we pray,
Amen!
