Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all this September 29th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
The Auspicious word the Lord gives us today is from Deuteronomy 28:3: “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.”
Who will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country? Those children who obey the commandments and statutes of the Lord.
Where are the Lord’s statutes? They are in your conscience. The Holy Spirit urges you and tells you what you should and should not do. The Holy Spirit, who has written the statutes of the Bible, will speak in your heart and tell you, “Do not do this; it is wrong. Do this; it is good. Go to this place; it is good. Do not go there; it is not good.”
When you live according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and obey the Word of God, you will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. Your tasks will succeed, and the work of your hands will prosper.
The Bible says that the heavens themselves will open their floodgates. If that happens, what will happen? You will no longer need to borrow; you will lend to many people. You will help many poor people. You will stand and build up many ministries. The Lord will bless you to such an extent that He will make your name great.
So today, according to the Word of God, may all the family blessings mentioned in Psalm 128 be fulfilled upon your head as Yes and Amen.
In the city where you dwell, you will live, prosper, be established, and do well. If you have gone abroad to settle in another place, the Lord will do good and give you grace there. He will make your name great. After this, the Lord will not allow you to beg from others. Instead, the heavens will open their floodgates for you.
Testimony
“It has been 14 years since we got married, and we were still without a child. We were living in great sorrow. Though we underwent many medical treatments, there was no result.
In such a situation, we attended the APO Fasting Meeting with fasting and prayer. During the prayer time, when Brother Stephen prayed in the presence of God, he prophetically called out my name, Tabitha, and prayed for me.
What a surprise! In that very same month, I naturally conceived. Now I am in my sixth month of pregnancy.
Think about it. Tabitha’s name was called out by the Lord. She had been without a child for 14 years, and no one knew who would come to the meeting. But when she came there in sorrow, the Lord called her by name and prophetically spoke to her. Because of that prayer, she conceived in the same month, and now she is six months pregnant. May the name of the Lord be glorified!”
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. Lord, according to the verse You have given us today, let all those children be blessed in their cities. In foreign countries, places, and nations, may they and their children be blessed. Lord, let them live in the fear of You and receive the goodness and grace that You give them.
May mercy and goodness follow them all the days of their lives. In the very city where My children once stood with their heads bowed down, make their names great. May the Lord look upon the children who are celebrating their birthdays and wedding anniversaries today.
May this Auspicious word be fulfilled in the lives of Your children from this moment.
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all this September 28th through this Auspicious word. May the name of the Lord be glorified.
What is the Auspicious word for us today? The Gospel written by Luke 14:11 says, “For he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Children of God everyone wants to progress, grow, and be promoted in life. That is a good wish and desire. But some work hard day and night, and still they are unable to grow beyond a certain level. The reason is that, without their knowledge, there is some pride within them.
The Lord is saying that if a person has to grow and progress day by day, and if he has to be promoted, first he needs to have the characteristic of humility. Humility is not seen in your dress or speech; it is seen in your actions. It is in your heart and mind.
The Bible says that if you have to grow and multiply day by day, if you want to progress and reach a high status or position, then today, humble yourself as much as you can. Do not boast anywhere.
Today, some have pride because of their caste. Some have pride because of their beauty or complexion. Some have pride because they have a government job. Some have pride because of the talents and skills that the Lord has given them. The Lord opposes such pride, but He gives grace to the humble.
If you have pride, the Lord Himself will oppose you. You do not need anyone else. You do not need an enemy or a foe. The Lord Himself will oppose you. Therefore, today, throw away the pride that is hindering your growth. Day by day, if you want to grow and increase before the Lord, humble yourself.
Clothe yourself with the characteristic of humility. When everyone praises you, you should say, “It is all the grace of God. Without Him, nothing is possible. If the Lord was not with me, none of this would have happened. If the Lord is not there, I cannot be where I am.” As you humble yourself, the Lord will elevate you.
Do you know the secret behind why Jesus was born to Mary? In that town, how many women would have been there? But Mary was chosen because she had a humble heart. She said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” She humbled herself before the Lord.
Even though she was the mother of Jesus, she never boasted about it. She remained with the disciples and stayed within the group, quietly supporting God’s ministry. She remained behind the scenes without seeking recognition.
Therefore, today, wear that characteristic of humility. No one can stop the promotion that the Lord gives you. May you receive a good promotion, a good increment, and an improvement in your business. In your field, may you excel and achieve great things.
Testimony
“I suffered from low blood pressure, and my body became so weak that I was unable to stand. I was unable to do anything. When I was inactive, I kept remembering each Mangala Vaarthai that Brother Stephen shared in the APO meeting. Those Mangala Vaarthais revived me. The divine strength of the Lord strengthened me, and all my weaknesses changed. The Lord helped me to arise and walk well.” The Lord who performed that miracle will do the same for you too.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. Some are saying, “I am not able to stand. I am not even able to hold a small thing. I am not able to fold my hands.” For those children who are in sorrow today, through this Auspicious word, I bless them that a divine miracle will happen in their lives.
Today, as You have said, give each and every one the divine experience of humbling themselves under Your mighty hand. May the Lord remove all the pride seen in them and give my children the characteristic of humility.
Let them have the humility that was seen in Jesus Christ—the humility that led Him to obedience, even to death on the cross. According to this Auspicious word, let them humble themselves like Jesus. And when You give them a high position, let my children safeguard it with humility. May this word be fulfilled in the lives of my children. 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 September 27th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word for us today? Take and read Deuteronomy 15:4: “The Lord will greatly bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance.”
For everyone who is born on this earth, God has a plan. Some may be born in one nation, receive citizenship, settle there, and inherit that land. At a certain stage in life, the Lord may lead them to another nation, give them citizenship there, and help them live well. In this way, the Lord of Heaven has certain plans for each one of us.
No matter who tries to hinder those plans, they cannot stop them. The plans of God will be fulfilled.
This verse says, “The Lord will greatly bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance.”
Sometimes, without the Lord leading them, people stubbornly say, “I will settle only there.” When they go against the plan of God, they may not experience blessing upon blessing there.
So today, no matter where you are, when the Lord takes you to a place, humble yourself under His mighty hand. There, He will bless you, multiply you, and help you possess the land.
Know this and inscribe it in your heart: If the Lord takes you there, He will take you there freely. He will not merely provide money and make a way for you. He will take you there with favour—with a red-carpet welcome and with honour, so that the nation itself will welcome you.
If you are saying, “Lord, I am suffering in the country where I am,” and you wonder, “You said I would be blessed even more in this land, but I am being troubled again and again,” then tell the Lord, “Lord, forgive me if I came here without knowing Your plan. Help me to inherit, live, and prosper in the land You have chosen for me.”
Ask the Lord, and He will do a miracle. Children of God who are preparing to go abroad, pray about it and seek the counsel of God. May you go according to His will, and may that land be opened for you.
The ships of Tarshish are awaiting you. The airports are open for you. Those who cheated you will return your money. The Lord will take you to the nation He has prepared for you. If you are saying, “In the nation where I am, I have not grown or progressed,” hold on to this word and pray to God. The Lord will give you promotion and greater honour.
Testimony:
Praise be to God! My husband Suddenly developed a continuous cough. Following that, he became unable to speak.
When we went to the hospital, the doctor examined him and said that the nerve from the brain to the neck had been affected. The doctor also fixed a date for the next stage of medical treatment.
We were in tears and very anxious about the situation. At that time, I was watching the APO Fasting Meeting on my phone. Through Brother Stephen, the Lord gave a prophetic word: “I will do a new thing in your life, and you will see it.”
I claimed that word, and my husband and I prayed. On the day the doctor had asked us to return to the hospital, we went there. The doctor took a scan, and the doctors themselves were astonished. They said that there was no problem with the nerve going to my husband’s brain. Everything had become normal. I give thanks to God for the prophetic prayer given through Brother Stephen.
Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You. Lord, touch those who are in the midst of confusion and sickness. Today, do a great thing in their lives.
Safeguard my children from sickness and disease. I bless the organs of their bodies to become new and healthy.
According to the Auspicious word You have given today, may the Lord greatly bless them in the land where they dwell and help them to grow greatly.
Lord, help them to save money and build their own homes. Be gracious to them. Henceforth, may my children not need to borrow, but may the Lord bless them so that they will be able to lend to others.
For the children who are preparing to attend an interview today or tomorrow, Lord, look upon them. May the matter for which they are going be successful. May this Auspicious word be fulfilled in their lives from this very moment. 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 September 26th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word for us today? Deuteronomy 10:18 says, “He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow.”
The fatherless are children who have lost their fathers, and widows are those who have lost their husbands. For those who are in such a situation of loss, their hearts would already be broken. It is an unbearable situation. Having lost their father or husband, they may feel that they cannot bear the pain.
When someone does injustice to them in the midst of this grief, it becomes an additional burden and puts even more pressure on them. Usually, in our native language, we say, “It is like taking a needle and piercing a fresh wound.” Already, there is a raw wound; if a spear is pierced into it, how painful would it be?
That is why the Lord says, “I will administer justice for the fatherless and the widow.”
Maybe, children of God, you are in a fatherless state. When I say “fatherless,” it does not mean only those who do not have a father. For some, their father may be alive, but because of physical weakness or other circumstances, he may not be able to work hard and earn sufficiently. There may be such situations. The Lord includes those children too.
If you are in a broken state today, the Lord is saying to you, “I will do justice for you.” All those who have seized what belongs to you, the Lord says, “I will redeem it back from them and give it into your hands.”
In another verse, it is said, “He is a Father to the fatherless…” When He does justice for them, He sets the lonely in families and sets the captives free. If you are in sorrow, debt, or captivity today, the Lord will deliver you.
Know one more thing: Jesus will come in the place of a father for those who are fatherless. My beloved children of God, for those mothers who are widows, the Lord will become a spiritual Bridegroom. More than what an earthly father could do, when Jesus does it, He will bring glory to all your occasions.
Your marriage matters, the needs of your homes—the Lord will meet them. The Lord will build your own homes. The Lord will stand and build for you. I often say, “He stands and does, He takes up and does, and He gives and does.”
My children who are fatherless, the Lord is guaranteeing and saying, “I will never forsake you.” The Lord is giving you this guarantee. Hold on to this word and run your race. The Lord will do great things for you.
Testimony:
Praise be to God! I had severe back pain. Though I consulted several doctors and took medicines, the pain did not reduce. Every day, I was suffering and unable to bear the pain.
In the midst of these physical struggles and suffering, I continued to listen to Brother Stephen’s ADMV. I noted down the contact number mentioned in the program and called the 24-hour Prayer Tower of GLM and requested prayer.
A loving brother from the prayer ministry heard my problem patiently and prayed for me earnestly. What a surprise! The unbearable pain that I had was completely healed. May the name of the Lord be glorified!
Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You. Take away the problems in their bodies and their sicknesses. Give them divine strength.
Not only that, Lord, look upon those who are fatherless, those who are without comfort, those who are unable to meet their daily needs, and those who are in mental agony and trouble.
Lord, look upon these children and be a Father to them and lead them. Be a spiritual Bridegroom to those who need You and lead them.
Meet all their needs. Stand before their families and conduct every good occasion in their homes. Those who are lonely, set them in families. Whatever trouble they have been shattered by, give them freedom from it. Do justice for them and establish them in peace.
Lord of all comfort, give them comfort and courage, and honour my children. May this word be fulfilled in the lives of my children. 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 September 25th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word for us today? James 1:12 says, “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial.”
My beloved children of God, nobody likes trials. We may say, “Lord, I do not want this trial.” Jesus Himself prayed, “If it is possible, let this cup be taken from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.”
Listen carefully. When trials come, naturally, we do not desire them. But how did Jesus Christ pray? He said, “If it is possible, remove this cup from Me; yet, Lord, not My will, but Your will be done.”
Sometimes, according to the plan of God, there are trials that we need to go through. There are some situations where we need to carry certain crosses. Only when we faithfully bear our cross each day can we continue our journey towards the kingdom of heaven.
But what happens sometimes? Some people fall during times of trial. Some backslide from God. Some lose their hope and faith. But only a few patiently endure these trials. The Lord says that they are blessed.
If the Lord does not permit these trials, they will not come into your life. The trial that the Lord has permitted, the Lord Himself will remove.
Sometimes, even though we walk uprightly, the Lord may permit certain hardships to test our faith. But when you say, “Lord, give me the strength to bear this and make a way for me to come out of it,” the Lord will give you the strength to endure it and will also open a way for you to come out of it. Such children, the Lord says, are blessed.
No matter what kind of cross you are bearing, patiently bear it and move forward. For some, their own child may be a source of great difficulty. In some homes, the husband may be a source of difficulty. For some, the son-in-law may be a source of difficulty. In some homes, the daughter-in-law may be a source of difficulty. For some, their colleagues or higher officials may be a source of difficulty. Patiently bear it and move forward. One day, Jesus Christ, the Victor, will give you victory.
The Lord will give you the strength to bear it and will also make a way for you to come out of it. That day, in the life of Job, a season of trials came, but those trials eventually became achievements. Then he received a double blessing.
Today, the Word says, “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial.” Why? Because when your trials turn into achievements, you will receive abundant blessings and will happily give thanks in the presence of God.
Testimony:
Praise be to God! I am married, and for four years, I was childless. I was living in despair. My friend told me about the Shaemam Fasting Meeting that takes place at the Nagercoil Prayer Tower and brought me there for the first time. After that, I came every week and prayed. During the individual prayer, I also prayed with the prayer warrior.
When the prayer warrior prayed, the barriers were broken, and the Lord helped me conceive. May the name of the Lord be glorified! Now, I have delivered a beautiful baby girl.
Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You. Lord, come and perform miracles for all these people in these four places.
Lord, for all the children today, whatever trials they are trapped in, open ways for them to come out of those trials.
May their trials be changed into achievements. May all the wealth, health, and riches they have lost be restored to them in greater measure. I bless and pray for them. Lord, perform such miracles in their lives. May this word be fulfilled in the lives of my children. Amen.
