Isaiah 58:14, “Feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.”
My dearly beloved brothers and sisters 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 Isaiah 58:14, “Feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.”
My dear children of God, God is saying to you today that, ‘He will feed you’. In this world, God provides a job for each individual so that he can be fed each day of his life through his earnings. God thus provides a way for his living, a way for his daily bread. So what we see here is that God provides the livelihood for each individual through some way or other means of life. God will not only feed you with the food to eat but also most importantly He will feed you with His words and spiritual blessings which will cause you to live for Him.
In the Bible we can see, that when Elijah was very upset and sat under the tree, beside the Kerith Ravine, being so vexed in life as the queen Jezebel was chasing for his life, God fed him through ravens. The Ravens brought him both bread and meat and he drank from the brook. So we see how God sent the Ravens to feed Elijah the Prophet. In the same way in some cases, God sends his angels and feeds His children who are in need and who are helpless. He knows that you are hungry and need to be fed. In another verse God says, “They shall neither hunger nor thirst, Neither heat nor sun shall strike them; For He who has mercy on them will lead them, Even by the springs of water He will guide them”. He is a Good God. Because He cares for you and therefore, He leads you through the springs of water, you may not suffer from hunger or thirst. This refers that, God will lead you to a good job or a good business through which you will be able to make your living.
In case you are saying “ I have no way for food, I stretch out my hand to someone else for my food.” To such kind of people, the Lord is saying that He will perform a miracle for all of them. I have heard a brother who attended our fasting prayer meeting “ Anbarin Pathathil Oru Nal,” conducted every first Saturday of the month, testify what God had done for him in his life and that touched me much and I was surprised by his testimony. He was unemployed. He had come to that meeting because he heard that food was being supplied after the meeting. He was suffering for want of food. So, he thought he could eat full and take some food home for his wife and children. But he said, that the word of God spoken on that day, really touched him and transformed his life. He went home with great faith that God would bless his future life. He not only received spiritual food but also received food for his hunger. He gladly went home and experienced a miracle that totally changed his life. He said since he attended the fasting prayer meeting, he became a big businessman, who could give job to several other people and also feed them. Thus, God had exalted him. What a good God He is! Today is your turn day. God will perform a miracle for you.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through this verse. Lord, you said that you will feed us with the heritage of Jacob our father. I pray that You will perform a miracle and open new ways for my children. Lord open all the doors of opportunity that have been shut. Open the doors that cannot be shut again. Kindly be merciful to my children and grant them a good job. Let my children grow prosperous in all aspects of their life. Honour them and cause them to live a life of peace and prosperity.
In Jesus Name we pray
Amen
Romans 6:8, “If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him”.
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 Romans 6:8, “If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him”.
According to Romans 6:8, if we die in Christ, then we will arise with Him also. Our death in this world is not an end; there is life after death with God in heaven. That means we will live with Christ forever. But today I have heard some saying, ‘I am slowly dying day by day’. Some children will say, I am slowly moving toward destruction and I wonder if I would come out of it. Whether I will escape from this situation and come out safely. The word of God means that you will be saved from being destroyed by your horrible situation. If you connect yourself with Jesus and if God also joins with you, then you shall find a way of escape.
When one is attacked by disease, and when the doctors fail to diagnose the disease and later when they find that the disease cannot be cured, they might say, well this is an incurable disease, the patient may not live long but may be alive for few days. So, the person is aware of his/her death. And so, the first thing he would like to do is to see all his loved ones. Then he tries to arrange his house in order or gets his children settled fearing that he would die and may not be able to witness the marriage of his children. We have seen and heard many patients saying this. They would say, ‘Well I wish to see my grandchildren and then die peacefully’. These are the desires of the people who are critically ill. These are ordinary things that we see in our day-to-day life. Today God is saying, “If you remain in Christ during your lifetime, then you would live with Him also after death”.
The Bible says, “Today you sanctify yourself and Tomorrow you shall see the wonders” (Joshua 3:5). But in many cases, we have seen how even though Doctors told them that they will not live long and will die soon; we have seen them live a long life. This is the sheer mercy of God if one is alive for long period. This is because when the person knows he /she is going to die, then he starts praying to the Lord for mercy.
This is what King Hezekiah said when he was cautioned by the prophet Isaiah that he was going to die, because of his incurable disease. Then king Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, prayed to the Lord, and said, “Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what is good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. Hearing his prayer God extended another fifteen years of life for him. This is God’s divine mercy to all those who cry out to God in death.
My dear children of God, we need to ask God to purify us and make us eligible to live with Him forever. Ask God for the forgiveness of our sins, and cry out to God for mercy. Prayer is the only way to gain His mercy. You need to be dead to sins and be alive to live with Christ a new life, God has blessed many such children who have cried to God when they were near the gate of death. Today God does not wish that our lives end in debt. God will help us to escape and come out of our debts. In case you have been caught up in any incurable disease then God will help us to escape and be delivered from that disease. God will help us. So we need to hold on to God and hence we need to make such a decision today. God who does not forsake you, expects you to live with Him forever. So, to live with Christ, we are going to pray to Him.
Prayer: Dear Lord, I pray for my children to get connected with You and be saved. And thus live a long and healthy life, and live peacefully. Whatever miracles they are expecting, let it happen in their life. I bless them that they may live with Christ forever.
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. The auspicious word of the Lord is taken 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 will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
In this verse God Calls us, “My people”, what a privilege to be “a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession” (1 Peter 2:9). We must always remember who we are. On this 1st of November, the Lord wants to bless His people with Good Fortune. We are all anxiously waiting for God to bless us with fortune in our lives, in our children’s lives, in our business, and in our ministry. This auspicious word of God is truly good news, as we will receive Good Fortune in our life. Good Fortune represents all the blessings of this world. Good health, wealth, and prosperity.
What does God expect us to do to receive this blessing of Good Fortune? We need to humble ourselves before God. When we are humble, we will receive grace from the Lord. Secondly, you need to live a life of prayer and the life that pleases God. You need to look up to God and pray. ‘God says if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray’, seeking God’s face opens us up to the answers and direction we need during prayer.
Finally, you need to give up all your wicked ways, you need to repent of all your sinful life, and truly repent of all your wrongdoings. The Bible clearly says, ‘But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you so that he will not hear you’. So only if you give up all your wicked ways in life, God will bless you. Give up all ways leading to sin and keep yourself blameless. As you enter into a new month, you must desire to start a new life altogether. God will give you more than what you think, ask, or pray for. Then surely God will lead you to the land destined for you. God will bless you with a good job, He will bless you with a good family life, and thus bless you with a generation. Good fortune will come once you give up your wicked ways, and many good things will begin to happen in your life.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through today’s promise verse. Lord, may this word come true in the life of all those who read this message. May they inherit the nature of humbleness in their life. Let them give up all their sinful ways, and repent of their wicked ways so that they may receive and enjoy a good and peaceful life. I bless them all from the depth of my heart so that they may enjoy the blessings of Good Fortune. Break all the barriers that obstruct their progress, in their personal life, family life, in their business and their ministry and also in the life of their children, and in their education. Let many good things happen in their families. Let your hand of protection be upon them throughout this month.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen
James 4: 6, “God gives grace to the humble”.
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 the Lord is taken from the book of James 4: 6, “God gives grace to the humble”.
Grace is very important in the life of a man. Grace is something, given by God, to a person, who doesn’t deserve to receive any good thing. This is the sheer grace of God. He gives you grace because He loves you.
To whom does God give grace? Grace is the gift of God and it is given to those who humble themselves before God. If one wishes to live life to the fullest and move forward in life and enjoy the goodness of God, then he should have the grace of God, which is very important in life. The Bible says, God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Therefore, you need to remove all the pride from your heart. You should discard all things about which you are proud of. You should give up this pride from your heart and be humble.
We can read in the Bible about Mary the mother of Jesus, who said to the angel, in a humble manner, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord. Let it be to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38). She was so humble that God decided that she should give birth to Jesus the Saviour of the World. The angel appeared before Mary and said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour or grace with God’.
For Jesus to be born in the womb of Mary was the plan and will of God the Father. Mary received the grace of God to conceive and bring forth a male child and call His name JESUS. That Is why the angel tells Mary, ‘You have received favour from God’. God had given Mary the grace to beget the saviour of this world. God had made her qualified to conceive Jesus in her womb even though she was a virgin. Isn’t it wonderful!
My dearly beloved, God is looking at you today and saying that, “My grace will help you to live”. You have been saved by God through His grace to lead your life. Today God is placing that anointing of grace upon your head. God Bless you!
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse, “God gives grace to the humble”. May they receive the grace of God and make them qualified to obtain the blessing. Let this grace help them to obtain their preferred job, own house, good life partner. May the grace of God, cause them to receive the Visa for their children to go abroad. Let this grace help them to conceive and bear a child. Honour all those who are waiting for a gift of a child, by helping them to conceive and bring forth a child. Lord, you have said, “For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed, But My grace shall not depart from you. Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed”. May the peace of God abide with them.
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. The auspicious word of the Lord is taken from the book of Isaiah 51:22, “See, I have taken out of your hand, The cup of trembling.”
Many of you are holding the cup of trembling in your hand. Trembling in your hand means struggles that you face in your life. Nobody would like to struggle in life. Some would say, “ I am struggling in the deep sea.” It may be a struggle with death, struggle in famine, in a draught, in debts, in disease; all these indicate the cup of trembling in your hands. But today the Lord is saying, to you, “Look I will remove the cup of trembling from your hands”. Which means God does not want you to struggle anymore. There is a kind of trembling darkness in your hand. There is something in you that keep on pulling you towards trouble, causing a struggle in life. God is looking at such kind of people who are trembling in life, “I will take the cup of trembling from your hand and I shall give you the cup of peace”. God is bringing an end to all the struggles, pain, and agony, in your life. God wants to bring joy into your life instead of sorrow.
God wants you to live in peace and harmony in future. You shall not struggle anymore. God will help you to maintain your family smoothly hereafter. You will clear all your debts. God says, you who are struggling in debt will no more struggle but the Lord will safely lead you to the shore. You are thinking you will never be able to reach the shore. You are thinking that you cannot be redeemed from your struggles. God who leads you to the shore is with you. So, take courage, and don’t grow weary.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse, “I will take away the cup of trembling from your hands.” Lord, whatever may be the reason that has caused my children to have a cup of trembling in their hand, I pray that You will pull out their problems from the root and redeem them from the depression that they are going through. Help them to enjoy many good things in their families. Let many good events take place in their lives. I bless them all from the depth of my heart. I thank You, Lord, for breaking all the barriers that block their progress and helping them to move forward in life. Let them enjoy fullness in life.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
