Dearly Beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Creator, Maker, and ever unforgettable Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of 2 Chronicles 7: 14, “’If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
From the above context we learn that, if the people will humble themselves then God will hear their cry from heaven and will heal their lands. We see how Jesus, while He was on the face of this earth, remained very silent wherever He went. He was not proud of the miracles He performed or boasted of Himself of all His achievements. He was polite with his disciples. He was compassionate with the multitude of people. He was kind, gentle and humble in his behaviour. He was God in human form. He knew the pain and agony of the people. He was full of love. So He commands us to love one another as God loved us. He came to do His Father’s will from heaven. He was gentle even with little children. He said, “Do not hinder the little children from coming to me.” He carried them in His arms. Though He was the son of God yet He took the form of a poor man.
God says, “ If you, who are called by My name, will humble yourselves, and seek My face and turn from your wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive your sins and will heal Your land.” Learn to humble your selves in the mighty hands of God. Then God will exalt you in due season. He will cause you to stand tall before all those who degraded you. It is a simple thing for God to do. Those who told you that, “You will never prosper. That is the end of you. I will see that you die. I shall see that you will never rise up in life, in the future. You will never advance in life. I will see you beg on the streets.”Before such people God will make you to stand tall. Don’t bother about all that they say. Just ignore their saying. Because God is going to lift you up and make you to be seated along with the princes of this world. Halleluiah!
There was a man called Jephthah in the Bible. His brothers rejected him because of his illegal birth. So, Jephthah set up shop as an outlaw prince, in Tob, and “a gang of men gathered around him and followed him. ” His band of men earned a reputation as skilled fighters, and Jephthah himself became known as “a mighty warrior.” The Ammonites invaded Israel to reclaim lands taken from their ancestors by Joshua and the Israelites. That frightened the elders of Gilead and so the elders and the brothers of Jephthah pleaded him for help. Jephthah agreed to his brothers saying that he will lead an Israelite army and His brothers who once chased him now accepted his bargain and made him the leader of the army to fight against the Ammonites. If he won the battle, he would be anointed “head”—a judge, over the Hebrews. Similarly in case you are rejected and despised by your relatives and other people God will exalt you, as He exalted Jephthah. God who raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the dunghill; That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people, will surely and certainly, lift your name above everyone and honour you with riches, wealth and long life. So learn to be humble before God and men, and then you shall be exalted. God bless you.
Prayer: Our Loving Heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for teaching us the need to be humble, in order to be exalted in life. Teach us to inherit the nature of Christ, who is a role model. May we be silent, sober, kind and loving with all whom we come in contact. Give us the grace to tolerate others. And live a life pleasing unto God.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Joel 2:26 “You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God.”
From the above context we see the promise of God assured to His people through Prophet Joel. This is a prophetical word to all those of you who are reading this message, as to what the Lord is about to do for you after these days. The Lord says, “You shall eat in plenty.” I have heard some people say, “I was unable to provide food for my child. My son has gone to school without taking any food, or you might say, “My Son has gone to college without having his food,” and so you are very distressed to think about your poor state of life that you could not provide even food for your children. But today the Lord is saying, “You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied.”
Today we see how the Lord has given, us much growth and advancement during these days, while our grandparents and elderly people are still alive with us to see the vast development and prosperity of our days, that they had missed in their earlier days. These days God has blessed us so much that we compel our children to eat well to the full. We see mothers running behind their children to feed them. The Lord has provided such abundance, these days. Our children are going to see much more than these in the days to come. Hallelujah! Our God is one who will lead us in a wonderful way. We often think what is the Lord doing for us? Just look back and see the past days of life, as to how we were brought up.
But we see how wonderfully the Lord is leading us. The children of God are advancing day by day. In those days there were only huts made of mud and bricks, every side we turn to. People made bricks by themselves. But today a large quantity of baked bricks is brought by lorry trucks, to help them construct their houses. In those days, the mother, father, and their children would get together to make mud bricks. Children would go a long distance to locate hand pumps, to bring pots of water to help their parents. They in turn would stamp the mud like clay, with their feet, and make bricks by themselves. There was no proper roof with tiles. But they would take the leaves from the palm trees, weave them and use them as roof for covering their mud huts. Once in two months they would change the roof. But look at the development we have today. The lifestyle has changed considerably in these modern times. The Lord is leading us miraculously.
May be you too have been going through tough period, in feeding and growing up your children. You might have been caught up in debts, or you might have taken huge loan for paying the fees for your children or for medical treatment of someone sick in your family, as a result you would have been unable to feed your children properly with good food or meet their expectation. But prophetically God is saying that you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied. God will open ways and means for you to meet all your financial needs. For the Bible says, “My God will meet all your needs according to His Glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” So believe in Jesus for your sustenance. God Bless You.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for making us understand how, You have changed our times to see better days. Lord we praise You and also uphold You for helping us to eat well and be satisfied. Enrich us to meet our financial needs according to your promise.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
My Dear Brother and Sister in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Creator, Maker, and ever unforgettable Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of Proverbs 22:4, “By humility and the fear of the Lord, are riches and honour and life.”
My Dear Brother and Sister, From the above context we learn that humility and the fear of the Lord, brings riches, honour and life to a person. If you have these good qualities in you, then surely you shall be rewarded, the three gifts of God. The reward for humility, and the fear of the Lord, is riches, honour, and life. You will receive great respect, if you have these qualities. The Lord will bless you with a well settled life. He will not only settle you, but the life of your children as well. God will give you a bright future. All of you reading this message must be longing to have all these blessings. Is it not? No one will refuse to be blessed with such great blessing. We all long to be rich , wealthy, popular, and respected in the society. We would never like to be put to shame. We need a good name and fame, to live in a dignified manner.
My Dear Brother And Sister, May be you are thinking that it is enough if the Lord settles the lives of your children. There cannot be any one, reading this message, who do not desire all the above mentioned rewards of God. Today the Lord is going to give you these blessings, in addition to other blessings. But God is willing to reward you provided, you adhere to one of his conditions. It is an agreement between God and you. The Lord is prepared to give you honour respect, riches and wealth and high position in the society but you need to agree to his condition. Namely humbleness in character. God is expecting good qualities in you. God expects you to fear Him, to humble yourself and not be proud about anything. The Bible says, They that humble themselves shall be exalted. God will bring about the changes that you are expecting to happen in your life. I tell you that in the midst of this terrible disease God has kept you and me alive, then God has great plans for you. This is the sign of His tender love, mercy and grace that He has bestowed upon you.
My Dear Brother And Sister, Corona did not carry away people one by one but in clusters. We were not even able to see them being buried. That was the state of our life. Yet it is amazing to see that God has preserved our lives that we may walk in the ways of God. He has remembered both you and me and He has added one more year of grace to us to Obey His word, fear Him and magnify His name by being humble before Him. He does not demand something that you cannot do or give to God. He wants your heart, just humbleness in character. Can you obey his condition ? Will you please Him in every way? Then he will meet all your needs according to His riches, in Christ Jesus. For He who trusts in the Lord will prosper. Then you will have plenty to eat, until you are full. And you will praise the name of the Lord, who has not put you to shame, but has kept you alive. God Bless you.
Prayer : Our Loving Heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we are grateful to you for keeping us alive in spite of the terrible disease. Lord teach us to be humble in Character. We agree with your condition. So reward us with riches, honour and respect in the society.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today, is from the book of 2 Kings 13 : 22.23. “And Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days, of Jehoahaz But the Lord was gracious to them, had compassion on them, and regarded them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not yet destroy them or cast them for his presence.”
From the above context we understand that our God is a merciful God. God’s mercy is bigger than any mistake we have made. God is rich in mercy because of his great love, for us. He loved his people Israel; He guarded them, protected them and rescued them from the hands of Pharaoh. God saved them not because of their righteous deeds, but because of His mercy.
The people of Israel often provoked God in many ways. They went after pagan gods and forgot the living God. So God has many ways to punish a provoking people. Trouble comes sometimes from that point whence we least feared it. After their victory over Syria, Jehoahaz ruled Israel for nearly seventeen years. During his reign he did evil in the sight of God. So God allowed the invasion of king Hazael king of Syria to interfere and cause trouble to the people of Israel now and then, that these might thus turn to the living God. But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
But the Lord was gracious to them, had compassion on them, and regarded them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and would not yet destroy them or cast them from his presence .For He says, “ I am the Lord, I change not. Therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed.” Even in his wrath God thinks upon mercy. While He was still punishing Israel, by the sword of Hazael, He was yet careful, not to make a full end, not to allow the affliction to proceed, too far. He still preserved the nation and kept it, in being. God had respect unto the people of Israel. He considered them, kept them in his mind, because of the covenant, with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Today God wants to show his mercy to all those of you who are reading this message. Especially to those, who have been despised, rejected by your loved ones, and those considered outcast. This is your turn day, to find grace and the mercy of God. For many of you are living so forlorn and desperate in life. Some even wish to die because of the terrible situation, you are going through. You are living in great sorrow, pain and agony. Because you couldn’t secure a good job, or you never got settled as of now, you have incurred great loss in your business. You are a failure in life. God is showing you mercy today. So do not be discouraged, or dismayed. He is reaching out his righteous right hand to meet your needs. Be cheerful in the Lord. He will change your sorrow into joy. He will make your mourning into dancing. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for being so gracious and merciful to us. You have forgiven all our transgression and iniquity and saved us from the mouth of Hades. Since You have kept your covenant to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, You have blessed us too with Your mercy. Therefore we praise you and adore You. Bless us, O God of Mercy.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
Dear Brother and Sister in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Creator, Maker, and ever unforgettable Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of Revelation 3:8, “ I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.”
My Dear Brother And Sister, from the above context we come to learn that God has kept an open door before you. And no one can shut it. Philadelphia is the second church that Jesus does not rebuke in any way. For He says, “ I know your works.”Yes Jesus knew that The members of Philadelphia church were honest and contributed their best for the service of God. Nothing escapes the notice of the Lord Jesus. Nothing that takes place in any churches, have ever passed His attention. Jesus knows. There is nothing that He does not know. Jesus knows their “works.” He knows how they produce good works. So Jesus tells them “ See, I have set before you an open door” which indicates that God provides favourable conditions for serving him. In the face of adversaries, He gives opportunities to serve Him. The words “have set” literally meangive. Open doors are something that Jesus gives out of His grace. We do not earn or deserve the right to serve Him. Our opportunities for service are unadulterated gifts of grace from the Lord Jesus.
The word “open” means a door that Jesus opened in the past with the result that the door still stands open . God opens doors of positive volition as He did for Nineveh, where an entire city came to God through Jonah. He also keeps these doors open. and no one can shut it. No force, whether man or Satan, can shut a door that Jesus opens. The Bible says, The gates of hell cannot prevail against God’s church. No one can witness except God, who opens the door. Jesus knew that the people of Philadelphia church had very little strength. Even though their strength is not proportionate to the wide door, Jesus gave them, yet they were true to His name. The church at Philadelphia did not depend on human ingenuity or human power. The church at Philadelphia stayed faithful to Christ in the face of opposition. They never denied the name of Christ. They were true to the truth, by being faithful to the Word of God. The word “kept” means guard. They stood on guard for the Word of God. They were true to Scripture. And they have not denied His name. This church witnessed in the face of opposition. They maintained the integrity of what they believed, although they faced great pressure to compromise. We must realize that every open door of service is a gift from God.
The open doors that God has kept for you cannot be shut by anyone. It may be the door to a job. God is sealing that door which has been opened for you. So no evil has power over it and no sorcerer has power to open it. That job is meant for you and it cannot be plucked from you. The Lord knows all your problems. He knows that you have very little strength but He remembers your labour for God. Halleluiah! There is nothing hidden from His sight. He formed you. Your walls are ever before Him. So you need not worry. God will take care of you. God knows that those of you who are reading this message have very little strength. Very little money, very little oil in the jar. But He could use you for a great purpose. God called Gideon who had very little strength but asked him to go with that little strength, to perform a great task. God asked him to bring back the Israelites who were enslaved by the Medianites. And in obedience to God and as a leader of the Israelites, he won a decisive victory over a Midianites army despite a vast numerical disadvantage, leading a troop of 300 “valiant” men. God wants you to do a great ministry for Him with the little strength you have. He is going to entrust you with great position, a big business, a great project. Receive His command, and see how best you can perform. Don’t miss the opportunity. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our Loving Heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord help us seize the opportunities you give us, to win others to Christ? We have very little strength but give us the grace to do our best. Thank You Lord for the open doors of opportunities. May we open our hearts to the opportunities given to us by God graciously. When God opens these doors, let no opposition stop our pursuit. . Although we do not have much strength yet we believe that God will use us. Help us to work for the truth in the face of opposition?
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
