My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious word of God is taken from the book of Psalms 34:18 “The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart and saves such as have a contrite spirit.”.
Are you facing so many problems in your life? Let us meditate from the below verse, on how God is going to bless and gladden your hearts.
“And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” (Matthew 8:2-4).
We read in the Bible that those afflicted with leprosy will be ostracized by society. Their dwelling shall be outside the camp. Their clothes shall be torn and head bare; and they shall cover their mustache, and cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’ so that no one would come across them even by mistake. All the days they have the sore they shall be unclean. (Leviticus 13:44,45).
Let us meditate on how Jesus healed one such leper:
This leper who was ostracized and isolated by the people had an unshakeable faith that if Jesus would touch him, he would be healed instantly. Imagine the obstacles he must have faced. The crowd must have placed strict boundaries around Jesus, so he was not able to come near Him. But he believed in the promise “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?” (Jeremiah 32:27). He firmly believed that if he met Jesus, he would be healed.
My dear children of God, Have you been shunned and ignored by all? Do not be worried, God will come in search of you and do a miracle for you. All you must do is submit your lives to God. He is ready to forgive you of all your sins, sanctify and accept you (Proverbs 28:13). If you are suffering from a sickness, He will heal and deliver you (Jeremiah 33:6). Do not be worried.
This leper though he was shunned by society had an unshakeable faith on God. He looked beyond all the hurdles that came his way and put his trust on God. The Bible says if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move (Matthew 17:20). The leper believed his healing would come from God.
What is your state today? Have you backslidden because you lived a wayward life in your youth? Are you deep in sin forgetting that your education, job, and future is in God’s hands? Today, God will do a miracle for you. He is going to bring an end to your backslidden life and prosper and bless your life. Hold tightly to Him!
The ostracised leper crossed many hurdles before he met Jesus. But when he met Jesus the first thing, he did was worship Jesus and not ask for healing. He confessed with faith, “Lord, if it is your, will heal me, because I know you can.” The leper was healed instantly. Jesus further instructed him to show himself to the priest and give the required offering as instructed by Moses. When you look at this incident in the spiritual context, many young people nowadays are trapped by Satan, blinded, and caught in secret sins. The same Jesus who said, “Be healed for it is my will” will heal and deliver them from secret sins and curses. The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7).
Perhaps Satan has drawn a fence to stop you from approaching God. Remember, we can go to Jesus anytime, anywhere as there is no restriction. Whatever be the sin we have committed, we can approach Him and look at His face, He will cause His face to shine upon us. And will pity you as a father pities His children. So, submit yourselves wholeheartedly to Jesus and when you worship Him like the leper wholeheartedly, He will cleanse and strengthen you as He did to the leper. He will sanctify and strengthen you and do a miracle for you. Will you join me in prayer!
Prayer: Father, we thank you for this day. Lord when the leper came in search of you, you said, “Be healed for it is my will”, in the same way sanctify and deliver my children trapped in sin and curse. Help them to live lives pleasing in your sight and thereby be a testimony. Break all their sinful chains and bring them out of darkness into light. May their lives be prosperous and blessed.
In Jesus name.
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 Isaiah 43:19, “I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert”.
“ A way in the wilderness.“ Desert is called wilderness. If your life is like a desert that is dried up, today, the Lord’s word says, ‘I will open a way for your survival in that place’. What will happen then? The wilderness will become a fertile land. For your deserted life to become a prosperous one, the Lord who said, ‘I am the way’ will make a way for your living in the that dry place. You may say, “ I have no way to settle the debts “. There is no way to come out of this problem. The Lord is telling such children, ‘I will even make a way in the wilderness’. The Lord is saying that new ways, new opportunities, and new blessings are going to knock at your door. Ways will open in those matters where the door seems to be shut.
There is a another point in this verse, which says, ‘I will make rivers in the desert’. Rivers channel the water to different places. Your blessing is going to be a blessing to the entire place. You may be thinking, ‘For all these days, I was not a blessing to myself, or for my family, The income I receive is not sufficient for me. It is not enough for my children, to educate them. But in this life of wilderness, the Lord will create new rivers. New springs and rivers of blessings will flow for you to make the place fertile.
Prayer: Loving Father, we thank you! You have said, ‘I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert’. Create new opportunities, new blessings, and a new way for the income of your children and honour them with new grace. You have told that Your mercies are new every morning. Give your children new grace and honour them. Let all the solitude in their lives be changed. Let their life of wilderness be changed into fertile land. A land that brings forth vegetation and fruit.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen!
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 54:10, “My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall my covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord who has mercy on you”.
Today, the Lord is giving you this promise-word of faith. Firstly, the Lord is giving you a guarantee that His grace will not leave you. The Bible says, that since the grace of God was taken away from Saul, he died in the battle. When the Lord blessed David, He gave him grace saying that He will not take His grace from David like the way, He took it away from Saul. The Lord will give you such grace. When grace was taken away from Saul, his life came to an end. The Lord does not want your life to come to an end. He wants your life to bloom and wants you to advance in life. Therefore, the Lord is giving you the guarantee that He will not remove His grace from you. The Lord is giving you the same guarantee that He gave to David. Because the Lord gave David grace, he was able to rule Israel for forty years. Though there were wars, he overcame them, all of them and as the Lord’s grace was with David, the Lord continued to bless him.
Today, the Lord is giving you that grace in abundance and is telling that He will not take it away from you. It means that no one can destroy you. They will be shattered, but you will rise. Saul wanted to destroy David but Saul was destroyed. He did not have the grace of God, but David rose. The Lord’s grace will give the blessing of a child to those who are expecting. When you have the grace of God, all obstacles will be overcome, and miracles will happen. In this verse, the Lord is also telling that His kindness will not depart from you, nor shall His covenant of peace be removed. There is a covenant between God and His children. The Lord is telling that there will be peace within your walls and prosperity within your palaces. If you have peace and prosperity in your homes, then your home will become like a small paradise.
PRAYER: Loving Lord, we thank you! Today, You have told your children about Your grace. Based on Your grace, let your children receive a job, the blessing of a child, a suitable life-partner. Perform miracles for them Lord. You have told that Your covenant of peace will not be removed. Change all the problems that are destroying their peace. From today, let there be peace, happiness and prosperity. Jehovah Shalom, the God of peace, be with your children and lead their family into all truth.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen!
Psalms 91:3, “Surely He shall Deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. ”
My dearly beloved, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious word of God that comes to you today, is taken from the book of Psalms 91:3, “Surely He shall Deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. ”
My dear children of God, God assures you that He will deliver you from two things. Firstly, He will save you from the snare of the hunter. Secondly from the dreadful disease or plague that has attacked you and caused much distress to you. We need to escape from the snare of the hunter, a hunter often attacks from his hideout, so we need to be careful from the arrow he shoots at us. Because we really do not know from which direction he will attack. If we know externally the disease, we can easily take some remedies. We can approach the doctor. And also take medicines. But we need to be even more careful from the snare of the hunter, because he attacks us from his hideout. We really don’t know from where and how he will attack us. He is cunning and much cleverer.
Like a hunter, if anyone has planned to spread his snare or trap for you, then God will nullify it completely. In case someone, who may be your friend, your neighbour, or your own relative, has planned to stab you from the back, God will save you from their hands. God will distort all the schemes that they have planned against you and save you from their cruel hands. They think they have targeted you and can easily destroy you. But all their plans have been distorted by God who is watchful about you.
Secondly, God will deliver you from the perilous pestilence. Maybe you are suffering from a deadly disease that makes you afraid of your illness. The sickness may be hidden from within your body unseen externally, even without your knowledge. So, you may not know that you have some sickness in your body. Or if it is possible, to realize that you have an illness then you will take the necessary medicines for curing your sickness. You may be very upset hearing the negative report of the doctor about your illness, and so you feel that you are moving towards the point of death. All you need is to call on the name of the Lord. He will hear your cry and rescue you from any type of disease. Our God is one who rescues you from danger. Our God caused Daniel to escape from the mouth of the Lion and saved Daniel’s friends, Shad rack, Meshach and Abednego, who were thrown into the burning furnace of fire. The heat of the fire was increased seven times. Yet the Lord stood in the midst of them and saved them from the heat. In the same manner God will save you from all danger and harm. You may be thinking they have thrown me into the den of lions. And many people like lions have surrounded me.
God will deliver you from the perilous disease. Cry out to the Lord like Bartimaeus the blind man who cried out to God saying, “Jesus Son of David, have mercy on me.” The Lord had mercy on him and he received his sight. Ask God to descend upon you, and heal you of your disease. Say, “Lord you said that you will not allow the disease of the Egyptians to come upon us. Have mercy upon us and save us from all our sicknesses and disease. Take away the disease from our body.” God will change many of you who are reading this message from the fear of death. God says, “ Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth”. The Lord will extend the days of your life on this earth. God is encouraging you through His auspicious word. So be bold and courageous. The Lord will do great things for you.
Prayer: Dear Lord, I pray that You will deliver my children from those who hide behind them and try to attack them with the snares, to trap them and destroy them. My children are very distressed and sorrowful, because of the sickness with which they have been attacked. I pray that You will rescue my children and grant them long life. May my children live with joy and peace.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
Hebrews 11:1, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen.”
Dearly Beloved, 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 Hebrews 11:1, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen.”
From the above context we see that we need faith to please God. The Bible says, all things are possible to them that believe. By faith Enoch did not see death. Hallelujah! We read that Enoch was translated by God, to the heavenly abode. People searched for him on the earth but could not find him anywhere. The good testimony he carried was that Enoch was pleasing unto God, and so He walked with God. He had a family with wife and children. He was not a hermit. He was not alone to walk with God, but even with his family he walked with God which means he never neglected his family. Today we find people say, “I am busy, I hardly have time to attend prayer meeting. “They have time for everything but they have no time for God. They neglect God. They fail to walk with God. Walking with God is to read the Bible, pray and sing and praise God daily for all the good he has done for you in your life. You need to thank Him even when troubles come your way. God will be pleased with you. He will begin to draw close to you.
Enoch was a man of responsibility. Until he was 65 years he was involved in worldly things. Until then he did not have children. The Bible says, Enoch lived 65 years and begot Methuselah. After Methuselah was born Enoch lived 300 years. He lived family life, and begot sons and daughters. Since God blessed Enoch with a miracle baby, Methuselah, from then on he decided to walk with God. So little is mentioned about this man of faith, just a few verses, but because of the testimony Enoch had, almost every believer knows his name. He “walked with God.” Some people feel that they should be a hermit or a sanyasee to walk with God. We find certain people even if God blesses them with children they will never have the desire to walk with God. They take things for granted. Once married they will be blessed with a child. This is a natural way of life. But only those who do not have a child will realize how painful life is. What shame and humiliation they go through. They will never attend any function. Or go anywhere just to avoid being hurt by others. Even those who have received salvation tend to back slide and go away from the presence of God, when things don’t happen the way they expect. But Enoch understood Who God was, and He did all that was pleasing to God. Instead of turning away from God he drew close to God. God loved him and was very merciful to him.
Just like Enoch, many of you reading this message may not have been blessed with children, for many years. Some of you suffer because your business has fallen down. Your loved one is laid with some unknown illness. The doctor is unable to diagnose it. In some cases the education of your children has come to a standstill, due to financial crisis. Some of you are unable to carry on with your ministry, as you lack funds. Whatsoever it might be, as prophesy, God is telling all those of you who are reading this message that God is going to lift you up from your fallen state of life. You will shine. You will be successful in all that you do hereafter, because God has decided to walk with you, as he walked with Enoch and bless your family.
Joshua said, “As for me and my family we will serve the living God.” What about you dear children of God. Choose you this day whom you should serve God or the world. God Bless You.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank You for making us know that Enoch was pleasing to You and that he walked with You. Help us also to walk with You each day of our life. Never to give any reason for being away from you. But to always have a closer walk with You. May our life be hid within Your hands. We choose to be Yours always.
In Jesus Name We Pray
Amen.
