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 22nd through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word for us today? Psalm 34:19 says, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.”
All of you, listen to this attentively. Both the righteous and the wicked may face afflictions. But what is the difference? The wicked will perish in those afflictions, but the righteous will be delivered from them.
Listen carefully. In the time of Noah, the righteous Noah was safely protected in the ark and was delivered from death. But all the wicked perished. You all know this.
Similarly, in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, when the wicked were destroyed, the Lord brought the righteous man Lot out before destroying the cities.
This means that just as troubles can come to the wicked, troubles can also come to the righteous. Afflictions may come to both. But there is one difference: the righteous will be delivered from their afflictions, but the wicked will perish in them.
Today, the Lord does not desire anyone to perish in wickedness. He desires that everyone should repent, taste the love of God, and go to heaven. This is the desire of the Lord.
Children of God, today, submit your lives to righteous living. I am urged by the Lord to tell you to submit yourselves to righteous living.
Who is a righteous person? It is none other than the one who lives with a good conscience before God. There is no other definition. The inner man, that is, the Holy Spirit, is within you. If you obey what the Holy Spirit speaks within you, obey your conscience, and live in obedience to the laws and commandments of the Lord, then you are a righteous person.
The root of the righteous will bear fruit. The works of the hands of the righteous will prosper. In the house of the righteous, there are many treasures. May all these words be fulfilled in your homes. I bless you.
Even now, if some afflictions are happening in your house, or if some afflictions are coming near you, in the name of Jesus, I cancel them all, remove them, and pray for you. You said, “Whatever I loose and release on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Now, I am loosening, cancelling, and praying against every affliction. Hold firmly on to God, and you will be able to live a successful life.
Testimony:
Praise be to God! Though I passed my Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) examination, I did not get a job and was very worried about it. At that time, I participated in the May month APO meeting and prayed with tears.
Brother, during the prayer, said, “For a brother who is crying and praying, saying, ‘Though I passed my TET examination, I do not have a job. I have no man’s influence or financial strength,’ I am saying this now: When you come to the next APO meeting, you will come with a government job.” He prophesied this and prayed.
What a surprise! According to the prophecy Brother gave, on 17/06/26, I joined as an English teacher in a government school. The Lord who performed this miracle will perform a miracle for you too.
Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You. From every affliction and every form of abuse they are experiencing, give them divine deliverance. Let the affliction of sickness be changed. Give my children freedom from the affliction of debt. Give my children deliverance from the affliction of shame. Give my children deliverance from the affliction of failure.
Henceforth, may they live a victorious life. I wholeheartedly bless them. Lord, perform miracles in their lives. 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 21st through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word the Lord has for us today? Numbers 24:1 says, “It pleased the LORD to bless Israel.”
The Lord loves to bless Israel. The Lord loves to bless you all. But there are many who want to curse you. There are many who want you to suffer. But the Lord desires only that you should be happy. He wants you to be well and prosper in everything. Not only that, He loves to keep blessing you continuously.
Today, when the blessing of the Lord comes upon you, every curse upon you will be changed into a blessing. The Bible says that the Lord has already declared that it pleases Him to bless Israel.
When the curses come to an end, blessing begins immediately. Every minute can become a time of blessing. At any moment, a miracle can happen. You will win at the right time. At any moment, what you have lost can be restored. The matter you are waiting and expecting for can become successful.
According to this verse, blessings do not mean only houses, gardens, lands, wells, or vehicles. Peace is a greater blessing. Holiness is a greater blessing. A person who does not defile the body that the Lord has given him, but protects and honours it, has received one of the greatest blessings. When he closes his eyes here on earth, he will open his eyes in heaven. That is a great blessing.
These are called spiritual blessings. In the same way, the spirit of prayer, spiritual gifts, and spiritual power are also spiritual blessings.
The Lord will bless you with both spiritual blessings and earthly blessings. He will give you houses, jobs, income, a good married life, children, gardens, lands, wells, vehicles, and everything you need. He will bless you on this earth.
As you have claimed this promise and brought an end to your curses, the Lord will bless you. If this blessing is to remain continuously, you should continue to avoid doing things that bring a curse, and you should not involve yourself in things that are cursed.
Testimony
“Praise be to God. My body was very weak. I had pain and swelling in my legs, so I went to the hospital. The doctors said that I was showing signs and symptoms of a kidney problem.
Immediately, I went to CMC Hospital in Vellore. The doctor told me to take blood and urine tests. I was worried, anxious, and crying, wondering what the medical reports would reveal.
I sent an email to Brother Stephen and requested prayer for this situation. Brother earnestly prayed for me and sent me the Scriptures.
I claimed those verses, prayed, and went to the hospital again. By the grace of God and through the prayers offered by Brother Stephen, the doctor said that everything was normal and that there was no need to take any medication. Praise be to God!” The Lord will do the same for you.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. For all those who are sick give them a divine touch and heal them.
According to the Auspicious word we heard today, I submit everyone, including myself, into Your hands. Bless us, Lord. Expand our borders. Increase our income. Expand our descendants. Increase our wealth and riches. May Your hand be with us.
May evil and sickness not grieve Your children. Protect them. Just as You answered the prayer of Jabez and honoured him, Lord, do the same for Your children.
May this Auspicious word be fulfilled in the lives of all Your children. In Jesus’ precious name, we pray. 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 20th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word the Lord has for us today? Jeremiah 31:25 says, “For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.”
This verse says, “I will satiate the weary soul.” Weary means worn out. The Lord will refresh the soul that is worn out.
When does a soul become weary and sorrowful? It happens when betrayal comes, when loss comes, or when something we expected turns out differently. At such times, a person’s soul becomes weary. It becomes worn out, broken, and sorrowful.
At that moment, what does the Lord do to comfort us? He does not merely comfort us and stop there. He refreshes us.
That means, in the midst of failure, He will give victory. He will restore what was lost. He will bless us with what we expected, and He will cause everything to happen in our favour. Because of this, our soul becomes satiated and nourished.
So today, so that your weary soul may be satiated, the Lord is going to do miracles in your family, ministry, workplace, and in the lives of your children and their studies.
The Lord says, “I will replenish every sorrowful soul.” Sometimes, when all faith has disappeared from the heart and soul, it can feel empty. People may say, “My heart feels empty.” It is like a vacuum.
“I had my father in my heart, but I have lost him. I kept my mother in my heart, but I have lost her. I kept my brother in my heart, but I have lost him. My soul feels like a vacuum.”
The Lord is saying that He will replenish that soul. How will He replenish it? He will say, “I am a Father to the fatherless,” and He will replenish them. He is the Defender of widows and their spiritual Lord, and He will replenish them. He will satisfy them and lead them happily. May the Lord revive everything that has been lost.
Testimony
“My husband was addicted to drinking. There was no peace in our family, and there was no progress or income in his business. We were living in a very difficult and dark situation.
In such a situation, I sent an email to Brother Stephen explaining our situation. Brother earnestly prayed for us and replied with a Mangala Vaarthai.
After receiving that Mangala Vaarthai, we claimed the promise and prayed. According to that verse, the Lord changed my husband’s life and broke the bondage of drinking. Now, he is completely free from it.
Now there is happiness and peace in our family. The Lord has also blessed his business and given him good progress.”
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. Lord, satiate their weary souls and do many miracles in their lives. Help them to see wonders. Fill their empty hearts with Your power, gifts, anointing, and presence. Be with them and lead them in the right path.
In their lives, let refreshing rain fall. Let the rain of blessings fall upon them. May You close their debts and help them to gather surplus baskets of leftovers.
May this Auspicious word be fulfilled in the lives of Your children from this very moment.
In Jesus’ precious name, we pray. 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 19th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
Today, what is the Auspicious word the Lord has for us? Let us read Joshua 1:5: “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life.”
My beloved children of God, the Lord is looking at you directly and saying, “As long as you are alive, no one can shake you.”
All those who are coming against you, even if they come against you through one way, they will flee from you through seven ways. The Lord gave this word to Joshua that day, and He fulfilled this word.
Because of this, Joshua defeated all his enemies and inherited Canaan, the land flowing with milk and honey. He also received the blessing of dividing the land of Canaan among the twelve tribes of Israel.
The background behind all this was the promise given by God. After the years of Moses’ ministry, the Lord gave Joshua the responsibility of leading the people. When He gave this responsibility to Joshua, He said, “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you.”
Today, the Lord is saying, “As I was with Moses and Joshua, I will be with you. I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
All the powers of black magic that have been done against you will be cancelled now. All those who have schemed against you and dug a pit for you—you will only walk over it. The Lord will not permit you to fall into the pit.
Those who ate with you, those who ate from the same plate as you, those who slept beside you, and those who lived well because of you—even if any of them are digging a pit against you, the Lord is closing those pits.
You will walk through them gloriously and cross over them. The Lord will carry you on His shoulders. Just as a father carries his child, He will carry you.
Today, you may be going somewhere for work. You do not know how many people may have dug pits for you along the way, but the Lord knows. Every day, so that you will not fall into those pits, the Lord is carrying you and bringing you back safely.
For this, give thanks to God. Say, “Thank You, Jesus!” According to this verse, the Lord will keep you away from your enemies, and the days of living in peace are coming.
The betrayers and enemies in your workplace, the betrayers and enemies in your ministry, the betrayers and enemies in your business, and the betrayers and enemies in your family—in front of all their eyes, the Lord will exalt you and settle you in the land flowing with milk and honey.
Testimony
“Praise be to God. I am working as a Technical Specialist in a company that produces artificial limbs.
The company was continuously and falsely accusing me of making mistakes without any reason. They were following a special protocol for me that was different from the other workers.
At one point, I could not bear it anymore, so I resigned from my job. I was deeply depressed and did not know what to do. I remained dejected at home for two months.
At that time, I heard a sermon given by Brother Stephen. As Brother shared from Isaiah 42:2, this Mangala Vaarthai strengthened me. I claimed it in faith and prayed.
By the grace of God, I got another good job with a higher salary than before. Now I am happy in the Lord.”
The Lord will do the same for you.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. According to this Auspicious word that You have given, “As long as they live, no one should be able to stand against them.”
As You were with Moses, be with all the childrens. As You were with Joshua, be with each and every one of them. Make their names great.
Make them inherit and inhabit a land flowing with milk and honey. May the doors open for this blessing. May the doors for visas open. May the doors for jobs open.
My children should not borrow from anyone; instead, make them people who lend to others. May this word be fulfilled in their lives from this moment onwards. In Jesus’ precious name, we pray. 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 18th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word the Lord has for us today? Matthew 5:14 says, “A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.”
A city on a hill cannot be covered or hidden because it is situated in an elevated place. Today, the Lord is saying that your family, ministry, and business will be like a city on a hill. They will be known and recognised by everyone.
There is a verse in the Bible that says your children will be known among the nations. This means that there may have been a time when people did not know who you were or who your children were. But henceforth, because of the achievements they accomplish, they will come into the spotlight, and the Lord will make them known. No one will be able to say, “We do not know them.” In this way, the Lord will perform a miracle in your life.
If you look at my own life, when I was doing business, only a few people knew about my Stephen Cars business. But the Lord blessed that business, promoted it, and made it like a city on a hill. As the days went by, more and more people came to know about it. The Lord made that business like a city on a hill.
Even today, if you say, “Brother Stephen is coming to my church meeting,” people may ask, “Is he the Stephen from Stephen Cars?” See how the Lord made my business like a city on a hill, so much so that people even identify me through it.
But now, in many places, people ask, “Is it GLM Brother Stephen?” Some ask, “Is it APO Brother Stephen?” Others ask, “Is it Mangala Vaarthai Brother Stephen?”
Once, I went to a village for ministry. I had to walk through a paddy field to pray for an elderly person who was suffering from a serious illness. I stopped the car on the main road and walked along a narrow path through the field to reach the house.
I wore my shoes and walked along the path with the pastor of that church. As I was walking through the field, many elderly people saw me and said, “That is the Mangala Vaarthai preacher passing by.”
I went into the house, prayed for the elderly person, and finished the ministry. When I came back outside, I saw a group of people waiting for me.
See, today, this Mangala Vaarthai program has become a signature program, and it is like a city on a hill. Many people identify me through this program.
Why am I saying this? When you do something with dedication, commitment, desire, and honesty, the Lord will also make you like a city on a hill. When you shine from that place, it will be marvellous in the eyes of everyone.
Today, in your business, workplace, and ministry, may the Lord give you such glory. I bless you all. May miracles happen in your lives.
Testimony
Praise be to God! I prayed that the Lord would fulfil all my prayer requests. I participated in the GLM Shaemam Fasting Meeting in Chennai. At the end of the meeting, I asked Dr. Bavya Deril Stephen to pray for my granddaughter to pass her 10th grade, for my ancestral property to be sold, for my debt problem to come to an end, and for my son to get a job.
I wrote all these prayer requests on the prayer request form, handed it to her, and asked her to pray. Sister earnestly prayed and said, ‘Your prayers have been heard. The Lord has answered your prayers.’ She prophetically said these words and blessed me.
After that prayer, the Lord has been doing miracles continuously. My granddaughter scored good marks and passed her 10th grade. The Lord helped me sell my ancestral property and repay my debts. The Lord also helped my son get a good job in the real estate field. The Lord answered all the prayer requests I had given.”
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. According to Your Word, “A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.”
Lord, let every child not remain hidden. Like a city set on a hill, may their families be lifted up and recognised. May their businesses, ministries, workplaces, and everything they do be established in high places and be blessed.
Let their lives shine before others, and may Your name be glorified through them. I bless them wholeheartedly. May this Auspicious word be fulfilled in their lives from this very moment.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
