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 5th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word the Lord has for us today? The Gospel written by John, chapter 10, verse 11, says, “I am the Good Shepherd.”
There are shepherds who take good care of their sheep. When they lead their sheep to a place to feed, they make sure that there are no poisonous plants or anything harmful there. They carefully choose good food and a good pasture for their sheep. Such a shepherd is a good shepherd.
But a careless shepherd will allow the sheep to wander wherever they want and eat whatever they find. Even if they eat something harmful, the shepherd may not care. These are the things that happen when the sheep do not have a good shepherd.
But our God is a good God. He will lead you to green pastures and beside still waters. He will take care of you in the same way.
Today, the Lord is opening a way for you to find a job in a flourishing pasture. He will lead you and make you stand beside still waters. He will help you receive clear and refreshing waters. You will have many job opportunities. He will help you reach the nation you have desired to go to and make you happy in the country you have desired.
According to this verse, the Lord will do great things in your life and break every barrier. So hold on firmly to the Good Shepherd, Jesus. When He guides you, follow His direction. He will tell you, “Go here; there is grass for you. Go and eat there.” The Good Shepherd knows what is best for you.
Once, Peter went fishing in the Sea of Galilee, but he returned in failure. Jesus showed him the right place and asked him to cast his net there. When Peter obeyed, they caught so many fish that two boats were filled. This is what the Good Shepherd does. He shows us the right way.
The Good Shepherd will show you the right way to a good job, a good salary, and a suitable place of employment. That is who the Good Shepherd is. He will lead you to green pastures and provide food for you. He will shepherd you in the green pasture.
Today, all those who are saying, “I do not have a job,” or “My salary is not sufficient,” hold on to the Lord tightly and say, “Lord, I have so many commitments and so many needs for my family. This salary is not sufficient. What should I do, Lord? Won’t You open a way for me?”
If you ask the Lord like this, the Bible says that He will lead you to a place where you will receive a good income. He will open a door for you to work in a good company and receive a good salary.
Hereafter, you will not borrow but lend. Speak openly to the Lord and say, “Lord, I am unable to pay off my debts. I am unable to bear the burden of paying interest. All my hard work is going towards paying interest. Somehow, Lord, show me Your mercy.”
The Lord is the Good Shepherd. He will give you opportunities in good places and lead you into a place of blessing.
Testimony
“My sister’s name is gomathi. Though she was 39 years old, her marriage was still getting delayed. In such a situation, I participated in the APO Meeting with prayer and fasting and earnestly prayed that my sister should get married soon. During the individual prayer, I shared my prayer request with Brother Stephen and asked him to pray. The Lord heard the powerful prayer that Brother Stephen offered. The Lord broke the marriage hindrances and arranged a suitable partner for my sister. In the month of August, the Lord was gracious, and the marriage took place with great joy and glory.”
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. Today is Teachers’ Day. You are the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd gives His life for His sheep. You are the Good Shepherd who gave Your life for us.
Lord, open a way for a good job and good income in a green pasture. Lead them beside still waters and quench their spiritual thirst. May they prosper and expand to the right and to the left.
Help them save money and buy houses, vehicles, gardens, and lands, and live happily on this earth. I wholeheartedly bless these children. May miracles happen one after another in their lives.
In Jesus’ mighty name, 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 3rd through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word the Lord has for us today? 2 Samuel 22:36 says, “Your gentleness has made me great.”
Gentleness means mercy. “Your gentleness has made me great.” Because of the Lord’s gentle heart, mercy, and compassion, you will become great. This is the Auspicious word the Lord is giving you today.
Many of you may be sitting in sorrow and saying, “I am not able to progress. I am taking so much effort, but nothing is working out. If I take one step forward, I fall back four steps. If I progress three steps, I go back six steps. Why am I facing so many problems? For everyone else, whatever they touch seems to prosper. Why are such problems happening only to me?”
Children of God, if you are saying this with tears in your eyes, say, “Lord, let Your merciful eyes look upon me.”
The Bible says that the Lord’s mercy is upon you. When you have a merciful heart and do good to others, the mercy of the Lord will bring you the good gifts and complete blessings you need.
In simple words, the Bible says, “You shall reap what you sow.” When you show a merciful heart to others and become a blessing to them, you too shall be blessed. The Lord will keep His merciful eyes upon you and pour out His blessings upon you in multiplied measure. So today, you surely need a merciful heart.
I often say, “Do more social work. Help the poor. Support fatherless children. In their times of trouble, encourage them with your words and support them with your wealth.” When you help the poor, it is equal to helping the Lord Himself.
So, those of you who have been ignorant of the needs of the poor until today, I bless and pray that from this day onwards, you will have a merciful heart. May every hardened heart become a merciful and compassionate heart. I bless you in this way.
People often say, “Please show a little mercy. Please show a little kindness.” When you show mercy and kindness to others, the Lord will show mercy to you.
If you show mercy in five measures, the Lord can show you mercy in five million measures. Today, the Lord is saying, “Your gentleness will make you great.”
Fall at the feet of that merciful God and say, “Lord, until yesterday, I have not helped anyone. From today onwards, I will help others.”
That is what Zacchaeus said. He realised that he had not cared for the poor until then, and he decided that from that day onwards, he would give his wealth to the poor. He submitted himself in the presence of God, and the Lord brought salvation to his house.
The Lord will bring salvation and blessing to your family too. In your job, you will become great. In your field, you will reach the top level. In your studies, you will become great. In your ministry, you will become great. The Lord will open ways for you to rise and prosper.
Testimony
“My daughter suffered from severe stomach pain. I took her to the hospital, and the doctor examined her and said that there was a possibility of stones in her gallbladder. He advised us to take an MRI scan immediately.
Before taking the MRI scan, I came to the APO Fasting Meeting with my daughter. During the individual prayer, I asked Brother Stephen to pray for her. Brother Stephen prayed for her earnestly.
After that prayer, when we took the MRI scan, the doctor reported that there was no stone in the gallbladder and that everything was normal. May the name of the Lord be glorified!”
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. You have said, “Your gentleness has made us great.” Lord, until yesterday, some of Your children may have had hearts that were like stone. Today, change their hearts and make them merciful and kind hearts. We bless them in this way.
Lord, through our charity and tender-hearted service, many poor people are being helped. Through this, many are being blessed. We thank You for making our ministry and our families great through these acts of mercy.
I am praying for my children as a testimony. Through our Tender Hearts Charitable Trust, how many poor children are being benefited and how many children are being blessed. With that testimony, I pray for my children.
Lord, help them also to show mercy to others. Help them to show mercy to those who work in their homes. Help them to show mercy to their colleagues and to the staff who work under their leadership.
Because of their merciful hearts, thank You for making them great. In their businesses, ministries, prayers, and in every area of their lives, keep my children high and honour them.
My children should not borrow but should become people who lend. Let them become a blessing to many others.
May this Auspicious word be fulfilled in their lives from this very moment. In Jesus’ mighty name, 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 3rd through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word the Lord has for us today? Isaiah 44:3 says, “I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring.”
Our children and our children’s children, who are called our descendants and offspring, need two kinds of blessings. One is the blessing of the Holy Spirit, and the other is earthly blessings. In short, they need both spiritual and earthly blessings.
Today, the Lord says, “I will pour My Spirit on your descendants.” When the Holy Spirit comes upon them, they will walk in truth. That means they will choose the right path and walk in the way of truth.
Secondly, when the Holy Spirit comes upon them, He will remind them of what they have learned. He will give them good memory and understanding. Your children who are studying and struggling with poor memory—today, when the Holy Spirit comes upon them, He will remind them of what they have learned. Whether it is Scripture or their academic studies, even during their examinations, the Lord will help them remember what they have learned.
Many have written government examinations several times and have taken great efforts to get a job but have failed because, although they studied the subjects long ago, they forget everything when they sit in the examination hall. Today, accept the Holy Spirit into your heart. In your next examination, the Lord will remind you of what you have learned, even if you studied it a long time ago.
Another blessing is that when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be strengthened. Your unbelief will change, and you will receive strength in your spirit, strength in your body, and strength in your soul. The Lord will give you good health.
These are the blessings He promises for your descendants. And for your offspring, He says He will pour out His blessings. That means earthly blessings such as homes, vehicles, marriage, the blessing of children, and every good thing they need. He says He will give these blessings to your children.
Say Amen! From this very moment, the Lord will meet their needs and help you receive basketfuls of surplus blessings.
The Lord who has spoken this word is asking you to begin asking Him. Ask boldly for whatever you desire. Say, “Lord, I have one child; give me two more children.” Or, “Lord, I have no children, but I desire three children.” Ask Him.
“Lord, I am working for a very low salary. I need another job.” Ask Him. “Lord, I am without a job. I need a job.” “Lord, I am getting older and I desire to get married. Please make it happen for me.” The Lord will do everything according to His will and purpose.
Testimony
“I was working in a company for four years. Since they did not give me a salary hike or promotion, I resigned from my job and joined a new company. It has been seven months now. I was praying that I should receive a salary hike and promotion. For this, I participated in the APO Fasting Meeting, made a pledge, and prayed. During the individual prayer, I prayed with Brother Stephen. The Lord heard my pledge, my prayers, and the powerful prayers of Brother Stephen. He graciously helped me receive a promotion and salary hike. The Lord will do the same for you.”
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. Pour out Your Holy Spirit upon my children and their descendants. Because of this, may they be strengthened and led into the truth. May they receive the blessing of remembering everything they have learned.
Not only that, Lord, I pray for earthly blessings upon them—homes, vehicles, wealth, good health, the blessing of marriage, and the blessing of children. I place all these blessings upon my children and their descendants and bless them wholeheartedly.
May every hindrance in these special occasions be removed, and may miracles happen in their lives.
According to this Auspicious word, may these words be fulfilled in the lives of my children from this very moment. In Jesus’ name, 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 2nd through this Auspicious word program. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word for us today? Psalm 32:8 says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.”
Some children have this pride: “I have studied well, and therefore I know everything.” They take their own decisions and make efforts according to their own thoughts and understanding. In short, they follow their own counsel. Because of this, they experience many losses, disappointments, and painful situations. If our efforts are to become successful, we must yield to the instruction and teaching of the Lord. That is what this verse says: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.”
If you are doing business, the Lord must show you the way. If you are working, the Lord must guide you. If you are doing ministry, the Lord must guide you. His guidance will establish you in an excellent place.
The Bible says that when we depend on our own counsel and thoughts, we can fall, fail, and experience great loss. Therefore, never take that risk.
Tell the Lord, “Lord, this morning I submit my agenda into Your hands. Instruct me. Teach me everything. Teach me how I should walk and how I should speak.”
If you observe many people, they speak as though they know everything. Because of their words, they get trapped in unnecessary problems. Some have even ended up in jail because of the words they spoke.
Then what should we do? We should tell the Lord, “Lord, You teach me. Be my good teacher and my role model. Guide me and give me Your counsel.”
Ask the Lord for His counsel, and however He instructs you to walk, walk in that way. When you walk according to His guidance, you will inherit the blessings of heaven, and even in this earthly life, the Lord will lift you up, make you sit with kings, and honour you.
Testimony
“My children’s marriages had been delayed for many years. In this situation, I participated in the APO Fasting Meeting conducted by GLM in Chennai and prayed with Brother Stephen. I prayed with tears, asking the Lord to remove the hindrances to my children’s marriages and to let their marriages happen soon.
During the individual prayer, Brother Stephen prayed earnestly for my children and said that the hindrances would be broken and that the marriage would happen very soon. After that prayer, my son’s marriage took place with pomp and glory.”
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. Lord, let many good and joyful occasions happen in the homes of the children. May every hindrance be removed. May the Lord Himself go before them and accomplish everything for them.
Lord, for all the efforts my children are making, instruct them and teach them the way they should go. Thank You for showing them the right path.
In their business, ministry, studies, and careers, may Your ways be established through my children. As they follow Your guidance, may their lives be settled well and may they experience success, peace, and blessing.
According to this Auspicious word, may all that they desire be fulfilled as a blessing.
May this Auspicious word be fulfilled in their lives from this very moment. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
Dearly Beloved, I greet and bless you in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you this September 1st through this Auspicious word.
You may be eagerly waiting to know, “With what word is the Lord meeting me ?” The Lord is saying, “For by Me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.” What a wonderful promise! The Lord is looking at you today and saying, “This month will be a month of increase.” Your years will increase, your wealth will increase, your anointing will increase, your spirit of prayer will increase, your spiritual gifts will increase, your strength will increase, your health will increase, and your progress will increase.
Who is the One who gives increase? It is the Lord. The Bible says that unless the Lord is with us, our efforts will not bring true increase and progress. When we look at the life of Isaac, the Bible says that the Lord blessed him, and he became great and continued to become greater until he became very great. Therefore, if there has to be financial increase in your life, the Lord must be with you. If your years are to be increased, the Lord must be with you. If your anointing is to increase, the Lord must be with you. If your prayer life is to increase, the Lord must be with you.
Today, the Lord is looking at you. Perhaps, in the past, some sinful habit separated you from the presence of God. Perhaps the desires of this world came before you, and you ran after them. Now you may be standing there, having lost the closeness and love you once had with the Lord. Because of this, your conscience may have prevented you from coming into His presence. But today, with whatever little strength you have, come back to the presence of God. On this first day of September, while everyone is expecting increase, growth and progress, you also come before the Lord and say, “Lord, in this new month, I come back into Your presence. I stand before You once again. In the past, when the world and its desires came before me, I ran after them. I lost my closeness with You. But today, Lord, I have come back to You. Forgive me and receive me once again.” Remember the tax collector in the Bible. He stood at a distance, beat his chest and cried out for God’s mercy. He knew that he was unworthy to come before God, yet he came to the Lord’s presence and pleaded for mercy, and the Lord heard his prayer.
Even today, let us come as families and stand before the presence of God, not because we are worthy, but because of His grace and mercy. Tell the Lord, “Lord, whatever I have spoken against You, whatever I have done against You, and whatever sins I have committed against You, forgive me. In this new month, make me a new creation. Renew me completely, Lord.”
Whoever is praying this prayer sincerely today, the Lord will make your spirit, soul and body new. When the Lord renews your spirit, soul and body, He will also bring renewal and restoration in every area of your life. Your spiritual life will become new. Your prayer life will become new. Your relationship with God will become new. As you walk with the Lord, your life will experience increase. If you make yourself holy and enter this new month with the Lord, you will see great miracles.
Shall we read a good testimony? Praise be to God. A sister shared this testimony: “My son, Joel, joined an MBA course in 2024. While he was studying, he attended many interviews. However, in many of them, they told him that his name had been placed on the waiting list. I prayed that my son should receive a placement in a good company. During this time, I went directly to the Nagercoil Prayer Tower and shared this prayer request with the prayer warrior. The prayer warrior prayed earnestly for my son. After that prayer, my son completed his studies and finished his internship in a good company.
Later, a company where he had previously attended an interview contacted him. His name had been on the waiting list, but they called him and asked him to come. My son went to the company and received a permanent appointment letter. By the grace of God, he has now joined the company and is working there.” My beloved children of God, see what the Lord has done! Joel attended many interviews. In some places, his name remained on the waiting list, and in others, he was rejected. But when his mother came to the Nagercoil Prayer Tower and prayed, the Lord answered her prayer. The same Lord will do it for you. May God bless you abundantly.
Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You. You have said, “By Me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.” Lord, look upon my children who have knelt before Your presence today, expecting increase in their lives. Bless the work of their hands. Open the treasures of heaven and increase their income day by day. Increase their wealth and provide for every need. But, Lord, above all, let them increase in their spiritual lives. From this month onward, give my children a greater desire to pray. Give them the grace to spend more time in Your presence, to pray, praise and worship You, being filled with the Holy Spirit. Let a cloud of prayer descend upon my children and their families. Those children who once prayed well but have now lost their prayer life, Lord, restore them once again. Give them the gift and burden of prayer.
Remove barrenness. Bring increase. Bring joy. Bring restoration. Let their families be blessed and their descendants increase. Let this word be fulfilled in their lives from this very moment. In the mighty and precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
