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 Genesis 28:20, 21, “Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and keep me in this way, that I am going, and give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on, So that I come back to my father’s house, in peace, then the Lord shall be My God. “
From the above context we learn that Jacob was leaving his fathers house, to make a better life in Padan Aram his uncles place. His mother’s brother Laban was living there with sheep and cattle, so Jacob decided to go there and make a better living. Before leaving he received the blessings of his father Isaac and his mother Rebecca and started on his journey. He left his father’s house without any big investment. All he had was the blessings of his parents and the blessings of his Father’s. God was very pleased upon this young lad who was going out to make a better life. God loves those children who are very responsible and are ready to move to distant place to help the family make a better living. Such children are always blessed by God.
Those of you who are reading this message may have young sons or daughters and if such children decide to go out to distant place to improve the status of your family then God would support such children who shoulder the responsibility of the family. God supported Jacob; He also loved him because his journey to a distant place was for a purpose of great achievement. He who went to his uncles place with empty hand and with only a staff, returned to his father’s house after a long period of twenty years, with two companies as a rich and wealthy man. He had plenty of sheep and cattle, men and women to serve him. God will help your children similarly. On his journey, Jacob was sleeping in the night. The Lord met him in the lonely wilderness; God loved Jacob because he was taking a journey with a great zeal. God doesn’t like lazy people. Therefore God descended upon him in a marvelous manner, and also spoke to him saying, “Behold I am with you, and will keep you wherever you go. And will bring you back to your fathers land, for I will never leave you, until I have done, what I have spoken to you. I will be with you wherever you go. I myself will protect you, You will go and earn money and become rich and you shall return back to your fathers place safely.
The Bible says, God is not man that He should lie. He is a God who keeps his promise. All His promises are yes and amen in Christ Jesus. You can rely on His word. So I encourage those of you who are making an effort to go for an onsite job opportunity or for settlement abroad or any part of the world to go out boldly. The Lord will be a guide to you and help you in your endeavor. You also shall go and make better a life and return to your home town safely. But you need the blessings of your parents and God, Only then you can achieve great things in your life. Many of you would have completed your studies and about to start your career. The Lord is saying, “I will be a strong support to you, in the journey of your achievement. I will be favorable to you, guide you, and help you, achieve great things in your life. ”I will be with you wherever you go and help you in your effort to make a better living. You may not have sufficient money for your investment to start your business. Do not worry because your parents may not be in a position to give you money for your journey. Trust in the Almighty God. He will meet all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. So all you need to do is to take the blessing of your parents and start your journey. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Father God we bless your holy name. We will put our trust in You and begin our journey. Be with us and help our journey to be successful. We rely on your promises. We believe that You will take care of our needs. Give us the strength and boldness that Jacob had, to take up a journey for the well-being of our family.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
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 kept for you today is from the book of Isaiah 35:10, “And those the Lord has rescued, will return. They will enter Zion, with singing; everlasting joy will be on their head. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away. ”
From the above context we learn that the children of God will return from their Captivity in Babylon. And they will enter Zion, with singing and rejoicing, Everlasting joy will be on their head, they will be filled with joy and gladness since they had been set free, and all their sighing and sorrow will flee away. The good news is that the God of Jacob does not abandon God’s people to their despair. Their sorrow will come to an end, and on a day when the sick body will find new life in God: Silent tongues will be loosened to sing songs of joy and freedom. Formerly feeble knees will walk themselves to Zion. Fearful hearts will look to the future with faith, hope and courage, while sorrow and sighing will be on the run.
What does the Lord expect from you to attain everlasting joy? Firstly if a person wants to attain eternal joy he must have union and fellowship with his church. God is very particular about our spiritual fellowship with God, through the relationship we have with our fellow believers in the church, which we go to. You must be known by the pastor who is the head of the church. You need to have active participation in other church activities. Some will just come to the church, attend service, give their offerings on Sunday and that is the end of their fellowship. This is a wrong attitude of a child of God. God is watching your attitude and your participation in the church. If not very big, at least in little things, you need to stretch out your contribution.
We read about Hannah in the Bible. She was tormented by her husband Elkanah’s first wife Peninnah, who kept nagging at her and rebuking her and wounding her with words, and criticising her and hurting her in such a way that caused Hannah to cry all the more. She wouldn’t eat for many days, because of her ill treatment she endured in the hands of Peninnah. She felt rather ashamed of herself for not being able to conceive and bring forth a child. She was childless. And this led her to frustration. But she did one good thing. She went in search of God. She did not lose her hope. She went to the temple of God and began to pour out her heart. She sat in the temple weeping. Being grief stricken she could not, utter words but her lips were mumbling with shivering. Eli the priest in the temple, who watched her odd behaviour, asked her if she had drunk wine.
Hannah replied saying, “Not so, my lord,” “I am a woman who is deeply troubled. I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring out my soul to the Lord. Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief.”Then Eli answered, “Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him.”She said, “May your servant find favour in your eyes.” Then she went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast. Since Hannah went in search of God in the temple, God heard her prayer. So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel,saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him.”
God gave her heart’s desire. Hannah’s rival, Peninnah could not further ridicule her or rebuke her anymore. God took away her shame and gave her joy and gladness. Where do you go when problems crop your way. Do you go in search of God like Hannah or do you go in search of soothsayers, fortune teller, or one who performs black magic, and sorcery. Think well for yourselves. Choose to go to God in prayer rather than go after, crystal gazer, or those who do witchcraft. Never ruin your life by taking wrong methods to solve your problem. Some for silly reason commit suicide. This is also wrong attitude. Let Hannah be your role model. The Bible says, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you. The Young lions do lack and suffer hunger, But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. “God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Teach us to go in search of God when we are in trouble rather than run after, soothsayers and fortune teller. Help us to interact in church activities. May we give our priority to church and fellowship with godly people. Help us to be like Hannah who sought God and went to the temple and prayed to God. Teach us to pray without ceasing.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of Hebrews 10:28, “just shall live by faith…”
Dearly Beloved, You must trust in the Lord and His power and miracles, then you and your household will live. The Bible says:
His children are called “believers”. The Lord says, “if you would believe you would see the glory of God.” So you should trust the Lord. You must believe, “He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses.” (Mathew 8:17).
God saved Noah and his family from a great flood – because he trusted God. The faith that he had was – “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13). Even in his old age Noah when he received the warning from the Lord built the huge ark. God’s plan was fulfilled, and his family was saved from the flood.
Some years ago, an old man suffering from intestinal cancer was brought to our prayer tower by his two sons. The doctors had said he won’t survive past an hour and in this abandoned condition they had brought him to me. I asked him, “What should I pray for you?” He looked at me and said, “You have been the reason many have wiped away their tears, God should grant you a long life. This is my desire.” At that moment I only had a few chocolates in the table. I took one chocolate and gave it to this elderly man who was only consuming water for the past three months. I blessed this chocolate with the blood of Jesus and gave him the Mangala Vaarthai, “You will live, and you will not die and declare the works of God.” He started chewing the chocolate that I gave him and as he was consuming it, I could sense in my spirit the healing power of God descend on him. When his two sons came forward to lift him, he said “I can get up myself.” He went down the building by the elevator. He told his sons to buy him some idli (rice cake) from the nearby restaurant and he ate well. It is 8 years since this happened, and the father is still alive and well. Yes, when you trust in the Lord, you will receive the same miracles in your life too.
When you trust God and His power and obey His commandments, He will cause you to live, prosper and prolong your days in the country where you live. Cling on to this Lord!
May God bless you abundantly! Amen.
Prayer:
Our Loving Heavenly Father, Give my children the grace to live lives that are pleasing in your sight alone! Help them to lead a life of faith, a life of obedience and a life of truth. Safeguard them and their household from all kinds of trouble. Be with them and guide them through out this month. In Jesus name we pray Amen.
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 Isaiah 33:20. “Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts, Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation. A tabernacle that will not be taken down, not one of its stakes will ever be removed. Nor will any of its cords be broken. But there the Majestic Lord will be for us.”
From the above context we learn that the Lord is asking us to look at Zion when we are in trouble. Therefore I prophetically would like to say that it is not good to go after human beings rather you need to look up to Zion for your help. For the Bible says, “They looked up to God and they were radiant. And their faces were not put to shame.” Whenever we face problems, being in flesh we tend to, run for help, to other persons. But I speak through the word of God mentioned above, to look up to Zion. “Look upon Zion, which is the city of our appointed feasts. There Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet city, A tabernacle, that will not be taken down, But there the Majestic Lord will be available for us.”Even David says, My help comes from God who made the Heaven and Earth. Therefore I will look up to the Hills from where my help comes from.” He had confidence in God Almighty. For the Bible says, “It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. ”
Dearly beloved, the only one God who can liberate you free of cost is Jesus Christ. He is the star of hope. All you need to do is to look up to Christ, who alone is able to rescue you from all your troubles, however big they might be. Because our God is much bigger than your problems. He will hide you and protect you from all your enemies. Tell the Lord, that you are caught up in a problem. And ask Him to help you, then He will come down in marvelous manner, and help you. Say, “Lord Please help me.”If you look up to mount Zion, you will be delivered from all your problems. The moment you look up to Zion the lord who made the heaven and earth will come to rescue you from your difficult situation immediately. And you shall receive a miracle from God. The Bible says, whether you are in the midst of the deep sea, or in the midnight, when you call up to God, He will answer you speedily and descend upon you, to help you. May be you are in trouble and you call your friend, even he will not be able to help you since he must be residing far away from you. In case you are calling up to your son or daughter who are playing outside, saying that you are having chest pain, they may be reluctant to come quick to help you. They may fail to know the seriousness of your pain. Or you may call up to your husband sitting beside you, to get you a glass of water but before he could bring the water you might collapse. I have heard people say, “It all happened in a fraction of a second. ” He was there a moment ago but now he is gone. Death sweeps our people within a moment. I know of a brother who lost both his mother and his wife leaving behind his two children. So this is the current situation of many people who call others for help.
I wish to narrate to you about an incident that took place in my own life, three years back. I had returned home late night after attending a meeting in a local church. Just before dinner my stomach started paining. The pain increased gradually and I couldn’t bear the pain any longer. I felt as if my eyes would come out, due to pain. I became restless in pain. I couldn’t sit, stand, or eat my dinner. I was immediately rushed to the hospital but the doctor was unavailable. He was attending to other patients. He was actually getting ready, to take the scan for me. But the pain was so acute that I looked up to the Zion, in prayer. I told the Lord that I couldn’t bear the pain. I cried out to Him for help. Then I suddenly felt an arm pushing me into the rest room. I simply don’t know who it was, but after a moment, the pain disappeared. I felt completely relieved. I told my brother in law that we can return home. But just then the doctor asked me to come for check up. So he took the scan and the report stated that there was no sign of any stone in the kidney. There was only one big stone but that had come out while I was in the restroom. Hallelujah!
Just as God answered my prayer and rescued me immediately He will help you also who are reading this message. You may be suffering from various problems. You may be caught up in debts and the person who lent you money may be troubling you to repay the money immediately. Look up to Zion , the Lord will open a way for you to close your debts. Firstly you need to trust in the Lord. Then call up the name of God. He will answer you. May be you have lost your job during the corona period. God will open a new door for you. You will secure a better job with more salary. Likewise the settlement of your son or daughter must have got postponed due to Corona. They will soon get married, if you will look up to Zion with your whole heart. Do not be afraid. The Lord will be with you and help you. The Psalmist says, Behold God is my helper. The Lord is the Sustainer of my soul. David also says, Lord you have given the shield of Your Salvation, And your Help Makes Me Great. Make the Lord God of Israel your HELPER, Look up to Zion. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Heavenly Father, we thank You, for promising us , to help us, in times of trouble. We will look up to Zion. Teach us to Trust in the Lord rather than trust in man. Teach us to exercise our faith in You Lord. Make us great by Your help. Teach us to understand that by Your help, we can achieve great things in our life. Bless us , as You blessed all those who looked up to Zion.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
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 Genesis 49:25, “ Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb“.
From the above context we learn that the Lord wants to bless you with the blessings of Joseph. He wants to place the blessings upon the head of each one of you who are reading the message. He pronounces four kinds of blessings. You will receive the blessing from the God of your fathers, who will help you, and by the Almighty God you shall be blessed by all the heavenly blessings. The blessings of the deep ocean that lies beneath and fourthly by the blessings of your womb. The blessings of Jacob had excelled the blessings of all other ancestors. These blessings shall be upon the head of Joseph, and on the crown of him who was separate from all his other brothers. Hallelujah! God will help you. All those of you who are reading this message with much expectation, will be helped by God, in whatever areas you need help. God wants to bless you and satisfy you with all such blessings. God will be your support, and after, these days, God will meet all your needs in a special way. You need not be afraid of all the happenings that you had experienced in the past.
God says, “Fear not you worm Jacob, You men of Israel, I will help you.”God is willing to help you, no matter whatever your problems might be. He will rescue you from all your troubles, and sustain you. He who said, I will be with you always, till the end of the age, will keep His promise. He will not leave you half way without helping you. Hereafter God will be a strong support to you. So don’t be afraid. You are worried and afraid, as to how you will settle your children; You are worried about their future about your own health condition. Will you recover from the sickness you are suffering from. You may be worried about your job, your business. But praise be to God because He is going to deliver you from all such fears. God wants to fill each one of you with courage and boldness. Such a God is looking at you and saying, “Well, I will be your support. You need not to worry. The Battle is mine. You be still and see the victory that God gives to you.” God blessed Joseph through his father Jacob; He said that these blessings, which I pronounce, will rest upon your head according, to the words of the God of your Father. So in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ you shall receive all the blessings that Joseph received from his father.
God thought that it is not good for man to live alone so he made a suitable partner for him. Many of you who are reading this message are anxiously waiting for the settlement of their children. They are looking out for the right partner for their children. The Lord who helps you will do marvellous things in your children’s life. God Himself will bring in the right partner, for your children. So don’t be afraid.
God thought that it is not good for man to live alone so he made a suitable partner for him. Many of you who are reading this message are anxiously waiting for the settlement of your children. The Lord who, wants to help you, will do marvellous things in your children’s life. God Himself will bring in the right partner, for your children. So don’t be afraid. While the people of Israel called upon the name of the Lord, in the midst of the deep Red Sea, He answered them. And all the Egyptian army were drowned in the sea. Then Pharaoh the ruler of Egypt said, “The God of Israel is fighting for His people. We cannot stand before Him.” And so by fear, they fled from that place, leaving behind their swords and spears and their chariots. “God brought victory to the people of Israel. Just as the enemies of Israel, saw their God fight for them, God will let your enemies see you live a triumphant life on this earth. God made the wheels of the chariots to break apart from its hold and the chariots along with the rider were all drowned in the sea. The people of Egypt saw an extraordinary power working on the battle field. This was not the power of man but God. He led them safely to the shore. The same God will lead you and your family to the destination which you are looking for, in your life. You will stand erect and go across the sea, to the shore but your enemies will fall down into the sea and be drowned. Thus your enemies will be the loser but you shall emerge victoriously.
Many of you reading this message are wondering in your mind, ‘’ “Will I survive this corona, or this serious illness that I am caught up with. Will my son be able to do well in his interview, will he secure a good job, When will my daughter get settled? Will I die in my debts? Will someone really help me come out of my debts? When will I receive a favourable order from the court regarding my house? Many such questions are in your mind and they cause fear in your mind. Don’t be afraid. Cast all your burden upon God for He cares for you. He will neither leave you nor forsake you. The same God who fought for Israel will fight for you. He will stand in favour of you, and your family, provided you seek Him with your whole heart and make Him the Lord of your life. The Bible says, “Hereafter, you shall see your enemies who rise up against you, be lost forever. They will not interfere again in your life, since they will realize that the God of Israel is with you to fight for you. And you shall be victorious. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Father, God you fought for Israel, your children, when they called upon your name and brought victory to them. Similarly hear our cry when we call upon your name. Let not our enemies prevail over us. Make us to see better days in our life. Remove all sorrow from our hearts and give us joy. Take away all shame and humiliation from our life and let us shine in our life.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
