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 that comes to you for today, is taken from the book of Isaiah 54:12, “I will make your pinnacles of rubies, Your gates of crystal, And all your walls of precious stones.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, In this verse God is speaking to you about three things. Firstly God says that He will make your pinnacles as of rubies. Secondly He says that He will make your gates as the gates of crystal. And thirdly God says that He will make all your walls around the compound with precious stones.
Pinnacles mean our balcony. Our steps indicate our doors. Thirdly our compound wall. All these three things go to describe our house. God therefore says that He will beautify your house in this manner. House need not represent a building. House represents a family as such. House is thus the symbol of your home, your family. God, who says, that He will decorate your house, is focusing on what He really wants to tell us through this passage. God says, our heart is the home of God in which He stays. God delights to dwell in the hearts of human being. God looks at us and says, “You are the temple of God.”So the place where God dwells, that is your heart, God wants to decorate. God wants you to keep the pinnacle of your heart as the rubies that are considered as precious stones.
Nowadays we see how much a person takes care, to keeps his face shining and bright. People spend lakhs of rupees to beautify their face. I have heard people talk about the amount of money they spend at the beauty parlour to beautify their face. They spend much money to look more beautiful and handsome. It is not wrong to spend or make you look more beautiful. But those of you who take great care, in looking more attractive and beautiful, do you ever think about beautifying your heart which is the home of God, within your body. This is more important. It is very necessary to keep your body fit and active and beautiful but at the same time it is also important to keep your heart clean. That is why we read, in the book of Ezekiel, that God will take away our stony heart and give us a heart of flesh. Because our heart has become corrupt by many unwanted thoughts. This is important. It is necessary to keep your body fit and energetic. You need to look beautiful and elegant, so you need to wear new and good clothes. All this God likes you to enjoy. But at the same time you need to take care of your heart as the Lord wants to dwell in your heart. Therefore your heart needs to be clean and tidy without any flaw. There should be no uncleanness in your heart.
You need to remove all hypocrisy and dirt from your heart. May be many months or many years you have failed to clean your heart. God looks at your heart. He shouldn’t find any dust or bad thoughts in your heart. He expects a clean heart. So today give importance to your heart. Make it pure and clean before God because your heart is the dwelling place of God. You cannot allow God to dwell in a dirty place. If your heart is clean then as mentioned in the above verse your gates will be as the gates of crystal and all your walls around the compound will be decked with precious stones. God wants to make a change in the inner part of your body. Because God does not look like the way man looks at you. He looks at your heart. The beauty of the house depends upon the beautiful appearance of the people living inside the house.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Sometimes I have noticed the house of the poor. Their houses may not appear so beautiful on the outer surface but in the inside the house will look good because the poor people who dwell in the house will be good, kind, respectful and well mannered. Therefore because of them their houses will be good looking. They don’t need external decoration because they will be a family that fears the Lord in all respect, God’s holy presence would fill that house. The Bible says, if people of God appear to be beautiful then the angels in heaven will ask God as to who these people are, who are clad in white for or they will appear to be more beautiful and pleasing in the sight of God. Then God would say that they are His children who are washed by the precious blood of the Lamb of God, standing in white. That beauty with spiritual fervour, is more important than external appearance of a person.
There should be beauty in your appearance. In your speech in your action, in your walk and in all that you do. If all your lifestyle is beautiful then your house will look good both in the outer side and the Lord will willingly remain in your house that is your heart. When God is pleased with your behaviour then God will re-establish your house. God says that He will make your pinnacles of rubies. Then He says that He will make your gates as the gates of crystal. And thirdly God says that He will make all your walls around the compound with precious stones. So He wants to make a change, in all these things. He will decorate your balcony and also your compound walls and doors, There will be a great change in the very appearance of your house as such. Your house will look beautiful. God will bring about a great change in your heart that is the place of His dwelling.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, some of you are saying, well Brother, “I don’t even have a house.”I don’t even have a hut then where can there be any balcony? Where will there be pinnacle of rubies? Where will the compound wall be decked by precious stones? If only your heart is beautiful then looking at the inside of your heart the Lord will bless you with beautiful house of your own. This will be surprising for you to believe but nothing is too hard for the Lord to do. All things are possible to them that believe on His name. David asked God to teach him, that which is pleasing unto God. God taught him to keep on praising Him. And since David kept praising God, He promised to build a house for David. Just as He had promised , God built a house for him. All things are possible to them that believe. David believed on the Lord and so he was blessed. In the same manner God promises to build a house for you. He is encouraging you through the word of God. Keep praying to God and keep your heart clean, for God to dwell in your heart. Make it beautiful, and purify it, make it holy. For He is a holy God. All these things will happen in your life provided you keep your heart clean. God will then bless you with a house decorated with all these precious stones, compound wall and balcony, and let you live in such a house with peace and joy.
Prayer: Lord we thank You. Lord I bless all the children who are reading this message in the name of Jesus. Well you are a God who provides, abundantly above all that we ask or think. You expect that the heart of your children be clean since you desire to live inside their heart. It is your dwelling place. If they keep it clean, then you shall provide a house for them decorated with pinnacles of rubies, gates of crystal, and all the walls of precious stones. Help them to purify themselves and then tomorrow they shall see the wonders of God. Help them to possess such a decorative house. Let all blockade be uprooted that causes hindrance in occupying good and decorative houses. Let there be peace with the walls and prosperity in their palaces. May many good events take place in their homes. May those events that were hindered now take place in their houses. Let all darkness from their homes disappear and may there be brightness in their homes. May they enjoy a bright future.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen
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 for today, is taken from the book of Psalm 119:105, “Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Our God says, in the above verse, that His word is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. The word of God is like the lamp to our feet and as the Light to our path. When one puts his foot on the road the word of God is like the light which shows, where the slush and mud is found on the road. Where there are thorns and thistles found on the road. Where there is a blockade and where there is a ditch are all seen because of the light that is the word of God that shines before the feet like the lamp. The light protects his feet from falling on the roadways. It is not only like the lamp but also like the light. The word of God is compared to both the lamp and the light to mankind. We have heard people say, “Don’t fall on the roadside, and take a torch with you.”So only if there is light a man can journey safely to his destination and not in the darkness. The Bible also says, “The blind can’t lead the blind. Because, both are in the dark and someone who has proper sight will be able to lead the blind. God very clearly says, that if you carry the word of God with you, wherever you go then you will be safe. That word will be like a light in the dark. Only if there is light you will be able to locate the well or pit or ditch, the word of God will guide you in the dark and warn you, so that you will be careful while walking on the road.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God will speak to you through His word. He will either direct your steps or warn you of the oncoming danger. He will alert you. May be you pray before leaving to that particular place and if there is going to be some kind of danger God will warn you and prevent you from going to that place.
In the wedding at Cana, the wine got over. The host who conducted the wedding was going to face shameful situation. People are going to criticise him as there was no wine for the people to be served. In that situation it was the word of God that caused the water which was poured into the jar, turn into wine. God sends His word and performs miracles. God commanded the disciples to fill the jar with pure water. Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it. When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, did not know where it came from, the master of the feast called the bridegroom. And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”So that was how the Lord performed the miracle by changing water into wine. As a result the newlywed couple were able to start their married life successfully and happily without any shame or dishonour. God thus enlightened their life. It was the word that lit their life. They were able to start their life peacefully. If God had not performed this miracle they would have been filled with shame and humiliation. Darkness would have set in, which is an indication of sin and destruction. But light is an indication of improvement, and progress in life. God is providing you a bright future. For this to happen, carry the word of God with you wherever you might go. Then the whole day the word will protect you in your going out and in your coming in, without any disruption. By doing so I believe that God will give you a bright future through His word. He will remove all fear and doubt from your heart.
Once a sister came to me as she was ill. Since she was advised by someone, to meet me for prayer she came up to me. She was healed after praying for her. I offered a Bible with good will. For many years she had never opened the Bible which I gave her. Yet she never opened the Bible. One day she happened to shift her place from one location to another. Then she happened to find the Bible which I had given her long time ago, while she was packing all her goods to move into another location. She dusted the Bible and kept it inside her bag. All packing was over. She set all things in the new house which she had newly taken for rent. And when she opened the bag and took out the Bible it accidently dropped down. I had given a Bible without a zip cover. So when it fell it separated into two. The woman picked it up and thought to herself, well that Evangelist gave this Bible out of great regard for me, but I had never read it before. So the verse that struck her eyes was about David giving gold and silver for the construction of the temple of God. Just then she was reminded of the bag she had forgotten to take from the old house, which contained her jewels. So she quickly rushed to the old house where she had lived previously, nearly 24 hours had gone by. She was wondering as to what she should do. Only now she had remembered that she had left behind all her jewels in a bag on the rack, so taking the Bible in her arms, she ran to her old house to see if she could retrieve her lost jewels.
She called up the broker, got the key and went to the old house. She took the broker to the house along with her saying that she had left behind a packet of goods on the rack. The broker told her that the house had not been cleaned after she had left. So both went in there and traced the bag of jewels which she had forgotten and had left behind. Later she narrated the story to me as how the Bible which I had given her reminded about the lost goods and how she recovered all her jewels which she had forgotten. She cried out to me saying that it was the Bible that helped her to get back her jewels. In this manner I can tell you number of such incidents that the Bible has done for people all around the world. So read and meditate on the word of God. For God will do great things in your life.
Prayer: Lord we thank You. I bless your children in the name of Jesus. Lord You have said, that the word of God will be a lamp to our feet and a light unto our path. So we thank you Father for your word. We thank You Lord for protecting your children from all danger and harm. May they honour Your word . Not only should they read the word of God but also, meditate upon the word, and walk according to its precepts. As a result may they be blessed in worldly sense, and enjoy all the goodness of God in their life, attain wealth and prosperity through the reading of God’s word. May they be blessed with the gift of children, and all other good gifts that God has provided for them. I bless them all who read this message in the matchless name of Jesus.
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 Zechariah 2:10, “I am
coming and will live among you”.
My dear children of God, What a word of assurance the Lord has given us today. Isn’t it an
encouraging word? In this world, when we get an assurance from a person saying I will come
and help you, we become encouraged; we are comforted by his word of assurance.
Sometimes he may fail to help due to various situations. But our God’s assurance will never
fail. He says, “Are you in trouble, well I will come and see to it. I will come and solve your
problem”. Today, Lord is assuring you that He will come and live in the midst of you.
Maybe there had been a great loss in your life since the Lord was not with you in the past.
You suffered from debts, and you went through shame and dishonour. You got entangled in
many unwanted affairs, and you are now standing in despair. Today God is looking at you as
you have lifted your eyes towards heaven with tears. God says, I will come and live in the
midst of you.
What will really happen if the Lord comes in the midst of you?
Firstly, He will destroy all the weapons formed against you. When God comes and lives in the
midst of you and your family, He will drive away all the works of the evil spirit. The schemes
of witchcraft, black magic, and divination will be wiped away and destroyed completely. So
do not fear. For if God is with you, who can be against you.
Secondly, your poverty will disappear, because He is a God of riches. God will bless the works
of your hands. He will prosper you in your work or business that you are doing. He will give
you success thus you will be able to clear all your commitments. You will no more suffer
poverty but will enjoy the blessings of God.
If you are doing ministry when God comes and lives with you, you will see a growth in your
ministry. Where ever you go and minister, you will see God performing miracles in the lives
of the people. Thus your ministry will flourish.
Hence my beloved, do not be shaken in your life. All things are possible with God. He will
make all the crooked paths straight in your life.
God bless you.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse “I am coming and will live
among you”. Lord, it is enough if you come into our lives. If you come then all the poverty
and famine of my children will disappear. All diseases will be healed. From today onwards my
children will live a life free from debts. They will live a healthy and peaceful life. Help them to
live a life of fullness. Honour my children and let them shine in their life as you live in the
midst of them. Give them name and fame.
In Jesus Name We Pray,
Amen
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 that comes to you for today, is taken from the book of Ruth 3: 11, “ And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask”.
The word of God tells that Ruth a Moabites woman walked uprightly and hence was blessed.
“The Lord bless you, my daughter,” he replied. “This kindness is greater than that which you showed earlier: You have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor. And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask. All the people of my town know that you are a woman of noble character”.
In the above verses , Boaz appreciates Ruth as she did not go after rich young men instead she sought Boaz for her refuge. So He promised to do everything for her. Boaz calls her “Blessed are you of the Lord my daughter.”Even though Ruth was a young Moabites woman, a forsaken widow, he did not despise her or underestimate her in any way instead he called her “Blessed daughter.” God recognized her uprightness and therefore blessed her.
God blessed her with a good life partner. He gave Boaz a wealthy man as her husband and she brought forth Obed, who became the restorer of life. Thus the Lord blessed the latter days of Ruth than her beginning. She was a woman with a difference. She clung to her mother in law Naomi and refused to return to her people. She chose to live with her mother in law, in her land with her people. Therefore God blessed her abundantly as promised in Psalm 84:11, He was the sun and shield to her. He did not with hold any good thing from her. He was compassionate and merciful to her. Ezekiel 36:11 says “I will do better for you than at your beginnings. God fulfilled this promise in the life of Ruth.
She had integrity and wasn’t afraid of working hard. Most importantly, she trusted her life to God, even in the midst of the great pain she was experiencing. She received respect, honor, and blessings for the way she lived her life.
Prayer. Our Loving Father, Bless my children to be like Ruth and inherit her character. Give them a heart to love and respect their dear ones for what they are, irrespective of caste or creed or colour. May they be virtuous and blameless before God in all their walks of life so as to receive the blessings of God. We ask you in Jesus name. Amen.
Dearly Beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious word of God that comes to you for today, is taken from the book of Zachariah 9:12, “Even today, I declare that I will restore double to you.”
God says, He will give you double share of good and not evil. We read in the Bible that Job while he was going through affliction said, “I was waiting for good but I received evil, in return. ’’ Though he said that, yet as days passed on, God blessed him with double share of goodness. Even though he lost all that was good to him due to affliction, God honoured his faith because he never murmured or sinned by his lips, He received double of everything that he had lost in his life. In the same manner God wants to bless you with double portion of blessing. I have heard some people say, “Instead of good I have received much affliction, trouble, and disaster in my life. I am only experiencing sufferings, shame and humiliation.” Yes all these days you might have experienced sufferings, but now the Lord has turned his face towards, you and so he wants to bless you with double portion as compensation for all the evil that you have experienced until this day. God wants you to return to the strong hold that is to God Himself, and if you return to Him, then He will offer you double portion of blessing.
Those of you who are in trouble, with many problems, and therefore you are shedding tears, or you might have been caught up in some kind of tight corner situation and are unable to come out of it, or you are hooked in some kind of wrong relationship, or you may have been involved in some kind of evil spirit and are bound by Satan and his evil tricks. You are unable to come out of such harmful situations, God is asking you to repent of your wrong doings and return to the fort. Then God will bless you with double portion of blessing. God says, Return to the strong hold, you prisoners of hope. You are like prisoners who are caught up in bad or difficult situation, without any hope. So God wants you to return back to Him, that He might bless you. He is a God who wants to bless his children always. He never wants His children to suffer from any kind of trouble.
My dear children of God those of you who have been in bondage under the grip of Satan and His evil plans, get back to Your strong hold the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the author and finisher of your faith. Whether you are put up in the real jail or you are in the prison of sin and sinful deeds. Or in case you are in the prison of debts, or in the prison of being in bondage of Satan. All you need to do is to return to God and repent of your sins and ask for forgiveness, of your past deeds, then He will give you double blessings today itself. He is ever waiting for a change in you, to bless you. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows but gives His blessings to those who come to Him in truth and spirit. God is going to bless you with all these gifts today itself.
Prayer: Lord we thank You. Lord I bless all the children who are reading this message in the name of Jesus. Well you are a God, who provides, abundantly above all that we ask or think. You are able to do exceeding abundantly for your children according to the power that works in them. I am standing in the gap for each and every child of God. Bless each one of them. Bring about a change in them physically, mentally and spiritually. Release them from out of their captivity. Help them to return to their strong hold. And grant to them double portion of blessing. Let double anointing be poured upon them. Grant them the power and the anointing like the way that you poured upon Elisha from Elijah. A double portion of anointing that was given to him because he waited patiently and followed the footsteps of Prophet Elijah. In the same manner may your children be blessed with double portion of income, double portion of harvest, and may they be blessed in all the work which they undertake. Help them to walk boldly with head lifted up. Honour them and cause their name to be of fame and praise.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen
