Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you through this Auspicious word on this March 8th. May God bless you.
As we all know, today the world is celebrating International Women’s Day. Therefore, in the name of Jesus, I greet and bless all the sisters in your homes. It may be your sister, mother, younger sister, or mother-in-law. Whoever it may be, on this Women’s Day I greet and bless them.
The Bible teaches us to give them the respect they deserve. When you honour the women in your home—your sisters, mother, or mother-in-law—the Lord will bless you even more.
Let us look at today’s Mangala Vaarthai from Song of Solomon 4:12: “A garden enclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.”
Today the Lord looks at all the sisters and says, “You are an enclosed garden.” This means that no evil or work of the devil will destroy you. Just as a gardener encloses a garden with a fence so that insects or animals cannot enter and destroy it, in the same way the Lord is placing a protective fence around you.
Today the Lord is protecting you and your daughters like an enclosed garden. He is placing a fence around your body and also around your workplaces and business places.
Secondly, it says “a spring shut up.” This means there is a fence around your soul, so that the devil cannot destroy your soul or cause any spiritual loss. It represents a spiritual protection that God places around you.
Thirdly, “a fountain sealed” refers to your spirit. This means that no one can destroy your spirit, because the Lord protects it by surrounding it with the Holy Spirit. In this way, the Lord protects your body, soul, and spirit.
Not only that, the Lord will also protect your possessions and worldly blessings. He will help you succeed and become achievers in life.
My beloved children of God, in earlier times women were not given much respect. Many had to remain in the kitchen and were not allowed to study in schools or colleges. But now things have changed. By the grace of God, women are given opportunities and positions equal to men.
There was a time when women were treated almost like servants in their own homes. When the men of the house returned home, women had to bring water for them or even wash their feet. Sometimes when the father sat down, the daughter or wife had to remain standing. Such customs existed in those days.
But today many of these things have changed. The Lord has given women dignity and rights. At the same time, dear sisters, do not misuse these rights, but use them wisely and beautifully. Then the Lord will make you achievers.
Today we see women holding great positions. Even our nation’s President is a woman. In the same way, you too should rise to great positions and accomplish many achievements. As a servant of God, I bless the sisters in your homes. The Lord will surely do great things.
Testimony
Praise be to God. A sister shared that during a time of deep struggle she had pawned her thali chain and went to Dubai on a tourist visa to search for a nursing job. Her visa was going to expire in two months.
Before the visa expired, she sent an email asking for prayer that she might receive a nursing job. After prayer, a Mangala Vaarthai was sent to her saying: “Even before you prayed, the command has been sent from heaven. Your request has been heard, and a job is waiting for you.”
Exactly as spoken, before her visa expired she received a nursing job with a higher salary than she expected. The Lord blessed her wonderfully.
Just as the Lord performed a miracle for His beloved daughter Subha, this Women’s Day the Lord will also do a miracle for you.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. In the name of Jesus I bless these children. Lord, look upon every woman and sister and every family. Make them like an enclosed garden, a spring shut up, and a fountain sealed. Protect and safeguard them. Lord, give them a bright future. Restore the faith that has become weak within them. Help them to achieve many great things in their lives.
Lord, some sisters are heartbroken and say, “I cannot do anything.” Look upon them and stretch out Your helping hand. Lift them up and glorify them.
At the right time, Lord, lift up those who humble themselves under Your mighty hand.
Touch each one of them. Turn their weaknesses into strengths. Remove every confusion from their minds and give them clarity.
Thank You, Lord, for blessing them.
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you through this Auspicious word on this 7th of March. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word for us today? Let us read 1 John 5:4: “This is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”
In this world, winning a race alone is not victory. Passing an exam alone is not victory. Even succeeding in life alone is not the complete victory. Beyond all these things, overcoming the world is the true victory.
The world includes not only the world itself but also everything in it—the flesh and the devil. If a person overcomes the world, the flesh, and Satan, he will surely be counted among the true victors.
If anyone wants to overcome this world, he must overcome his flesh. He must control his five senses. He must control his lusts and desires. Only such faith can overcome the world. When a person lives like this, the Lord prepares a place for him in heaven and will make him sit in His glorious kingdom.
Today the Lord says, our faith is the victory that overcomes the world. This means that first there must be faith within you that you can overcome the world, the flesh, and Satan.
You must believe that in every situation the Lord will lead you in victory. In your studies, He will lead you in victory. In your ministry, He will lead you in victory. In your spiritual life, you will live victoriously by the grace of God. Do not speak negatively. Before writing an exam, do not say, “I will not pass.” Before going to a race, do not say, “I will not win.” Before going to an interview, do not say, “I will not get the job.” Do not speak negative words. Instead, develop faith and positive confidence today. That is true faith. Throw away every negative thought in the name of Jesus.
Let faith fill your whole being—your mind, body, nerves, and spirit. When faith lives within you, you will surely win. If you do not have faith and confidence, you may lose. Therefore, you must rise to the top in your field. To live victoriously and stand in the highest place, increase your level of faith today. Have unshakable hope in the Lord, and He will do great things.
Testimony
A sister participated in the APO fasting meeting and prayed for a shop to start a business. During the individual prayer, she asked Brother Stephen to pray for her. While praying, he said, “You will expand to the left and to the right.” He gave this Mangala Vaarthai and blessed her.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. In Jesus’ name I bless these children. You have said, “This is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”
Lord, those who have lost hope and those who are discouraged—strengthen them today. Help them to take up the shield of faith and receive victory.
Those who speak negatively, saying, “I cannot do anything… I will not succeed… I am not qualified… I do not have the ability”—Lord, reveal to them the abilities and gifts You have placed within them. Strengthen their faith so that they may accomplish great things.
I bless them wholeheartedly. Thank You, Lord, for doing miracles.
Finally, look upon the children who are celebrating their birthday and wedding day today. According to this Auspicious word, may this whole year be a year of victory for them.
Amen.
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all this March 6th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word the Lord has for us today? Let us read Job 8:7 “Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would increase abundantly.”
Children of God, this verse tells us that even if your beginning is small, your end will be abundant. If you expect everything to be abundant right from the beginning, it becomes difficult. Many people want everything to happen instantly.
For example, if a child has to be born, first there must be a marriage. After that, the child needs about ten months to grow in the mother’s womb. Even if you take all efforts, the baby will not come into your hands the next day. It takes time. The child must grow and be nurtured in the womb, and only then will it be born.
But today, in this instant world, many expect instant miracles. As soon as they begin a job, they want a salary of one lakh or two lakhs. But it does not happen that way. The Lord says, do not despise the day of small beginnings. Only then will abundant growth come.
This verse teaches us that if the beginning is small and difficult, the end will be abundant. I often say that those who do not experience struggles in the beginning may not experience true abundance later. Their blessings may reach a certain level and then stop. But those who begin with struggles and are sometimes treated as insignificant will build a strong foundation. When the right time comes, they will rise firmly and reach greater heights. They will sit in positions higher than those who had a good beginning. Abundance means going beyond everything else.
Therefore, do not lose heart if your beginning is small. Only when the beginning is small will the end become glorious. During small beginnings, we learn many valuable lessons. Some people begin well and immediately gain luxury and success. But what God has planned for us will surely come at the right time.
So humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God. Do not be jealous of others and rush into things that may lead to loss. As a servant of God, I give you this counsel. Surely, those of you who have a small beginning will experience an abundant ending.
Testimony
My son got married and my daughter-in-law conceived, but in the fifth month she had a miscarriage. After that, I continuously participated in the APO fasting meeting and prayed. During the individual prayer time, I also prayed with Brother Stephen. By the grace of God and through those prayers, my daughter-in-law conceived again and delivered a beautiful baby girl. The Lord heard the prayers and has now blessed my son and daughter-in-law with two children. My beloved children of God, the Lord will do the same for you.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. In Jesus’ name, I bless Your children. Lord, in the APO meeting that will happen tomorrow, bring thousands of people. Fulfil the heart’s desire of each and every person. Tomorrow, let each one make time and participate in the APO meeting.
Even now, kindly look upon the children who are celebrating their birthday and wedding anniversary today. May this word be fulfilled in their lives.
Amen.
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you this 5th of March through this Auspicious word. May God bless you richly.
Today’s Auspicious word is from Book of Isaiah 40:29:
“He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.”
Some of you woke up this morning feeling weak, saying, “My body is not cooperating with me. My friends are not supporting me. My colleagues and superiors expect much from me, yet they do not understand me.”
Some of you are tired and broken-hearted: “I have been praying, but I still do not have a child.” “I have struggled so much, yet I have not found a job.” “I trust in the Lord, but my marriage has not happened.” Because your expectations have not yet been fulfilled, you may be feeling depressed, stressed, and weak.
Today, the Lord says He is giving special power from heaven to the weak. As you hear this Word, declare it aloud: “The Lord gives power to me, who am weak. He increases strength in me, who has no might.”
When you speak this in faith, the Lord will strengthen your spirit. He will remove your depression and renew your physical strength.
When the mind becomes discouraged, the body also becomes weak. If your heart is troubled, your whole body loses energy. So do not let your heart be troubled. The Lord is with you.
If you lose one opportunity, the Lord will give another. If you fail in one path, He will open a better way. If something is taken away, He will restore it elsewhere. Do not lose confidence in God. Do not lose heart. Continue faithfully in your responsibilities. The Lord will do great things. He will remove your weakness and help you rise with renewed strength.
Testimony:
A young woman attended a fasting prayer meeting, praying for her marriage hindrances to be removed. After earnest prayer, it was declared that her marriage would take place and that she would later testify with a child. Exactly as spoken, her marriage was conducted, and she is now blessed with a child.
Similarly, her sister had been married for five years without the blessing of a child. After attending prayer and seeking God, she conceived and delivered a healthy baby.
The Lord who strengthens the weak also removes marriage hindrances, blesses childless couples, and wipes away tears. He continues to perform miracles.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. According to Your Word, give power to the weak and increase strength to those who have no might.
Let them rise, walk, and fulfill their responsibilities—going to school, college, work, church, and ministry with renewed courage. Let Your strength descend upon them.
Be their courage, their power, and their mighty God. Perform miracles in their lives.
We also pray for those celebrating their birthdays and wedding anniversaries today. According to this promise, let this verse be fulfilled in their lives throughout this entire year.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
Beloved children of God, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you this 4th March. May God bless you richly.
What is the Auspicious word for us today? Let us read from Book of Psalms 103:13 “As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him.”
Many of you are expecting something from the Lord. You may be thinking:“If the Lord takes pity on me, my marriage will happen.” “If the Lord takes pity on me, I will have a child.” “If the Lord takes pity on me, I will get a government job.” “If the Lord takes pity on me, I will move from a rented house to my own house.”
Yes, it is true—when the Lord shows pity, miracles happen.
But the Bible clearly tells us upon whom the Lord shows pity: “The Lord pities those who fear Him.” If we desire the compassion of God, we must live in the fear of the Lord. This means living with a clear conscience, obeying His Word, and turning away from sin. It means walking respectfully, being obedient to parents, honoring elders, and living according to God’s principles.
Perhaps in the past you may have knowingly done wrong. But from today onward, choose to live in the fear of the Lord. Hold on to His hand and carry out your responsibilities faithfully. When you live this way, you will surely experience His pity and compassion.
When the Lord’s compassion comes upon a person, their life becomes settled. Their business becomes established. Their ministry prospers. Their future becomes secure. Everything begins to fall into place.
Testimony:
A young man was without a proper job for four years. His parents attended a fasting prayer meeting and sought prayer. During individual prayer, it was declared that the Lord would arrange a job and guide him to his desired haven.
Soon, he received a job in a bank. Within a short time, he received multiple awards for excellence. Later, he was blessed with an even higher-paying position in a multinational company. The Lord lifted him step by step.
Not only that, he also suffered from a fungal infection on his scalp. After prayer and faith, he experienced healing. The Lord restored both his career and his health. The same God can do it for you.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. From today onward, help them to walk not according to their own desires, but in the fear of the Lord and with a clear conscience.
Let them be obedient, respectful, and faithful. Because of this, may they receive Your compassion. Let Your pity settle their lives, open new opportunities, and establish them near “good springs” of blessing.
We also pray for those celebrating their birthdays and wedding anniversaries today. According to Your Word, let this promise be fulfilled in their lives. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
