I greet and bless you in the name of our Creator, Maker, and ever unforgettable Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has kept for you today is from the book of Nehemiah 9:25, “And they took strong cities and a rich land, and possessed houses full of all goods, Cisterns already dug, vineyards, olive groves, And fruit trees in abundance. So, they ate and were filled and grew fat, and delighted themselves in Your great goodness”.
When the Lord’s appointed time of favour comes, you will eat and be well nourished and indulge yourselves in His bountiful goodness.
Yes, according to this verse when it is the Lord’s appointed time of favour, you will automatically inherit the below mentioned blessings. All your bondages will be destroyed. You will prosper.
Fortified Cities: When it is the Lord’s appointed time of favour, the Lord will grant you a safe and secure life. There will be protection for you and your children in this world.
Fertile Land: When it is the Lord’s appointed time of favour, the Lord will grant you a fertile land, a prosperous life. Your spiritual life and material life will automatically prosper.
Houses full of every good thing: When it is the Lord’s appointed time of favour, the Lord will transform your houses into well-furnished houses. Your house will be filled with all sorts of goods and possessions.
Cisterns that were already dug: However impressively your house is furnished if there is no water it’s totally worthless. When it is the Lord’s appointed time of favour, the Lord will grant you a well that is already dug along with your house. And it will be a blessing like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail (Isaiah 58:11).
Abundance of vineyards: When it is the Lord’s appointed time of favour, the Lord will grant you not only a house with a cistern but also a garden and prosper you.
Olive groves: When it is the Lord’s appointed time of favour, the Lord will grant you olive groves. Why Olive groves? Oil for the wellbeing of your body. Furthermore, the oil of “anointing” will enable you to have abundant blessings all through your life (Psalms 23:5).
Fruit trees: When it is the Lord’s appointed time of favour, you will lead a fruit bearing life. And your house will be surrounded by fruit bearing trees.
Maybe you are wondering, there are so many blessings mentioned. When it is the Lord’s appointed time of favour, but am I eligible to receive this favour? Do I deserve this kind of favour? Yes, because our Lord has shed His precious blood for you, this blood has made you eligible and deserving to receive this favour (Ephesians 2:13).
May God touch you with His nail pierced hands, and destroy all bondages of sickness, all cords of death, all witchcraft bondages and grant you divine health and healing and prosper you. May the Lord’s hand be with you so that you will no more have pain due to evil (1 Chronicles 4:10). May God bless you abundantly! Amen.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. “LORD, we pray that you will bless your children with your abundant blessings. Bless your children with divine health and prosper them. May the may be blessed according to Nehemiah 9:5.
In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
I greet and bless you in the name of our Creator, Maker, and ever unforgettable Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has kept for you today is from the book of Isaiah 49:15, “Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the sun of her womb, Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you.”
From the above context we learn that even when your father and mother forget you, God will not forget you. You might be going through some trouble, or some problem that causes you to think, that God has forgotten you. But God says, “I will never forget you, neither will I forsake you.”He says I will be with you always, even to the end of your age.”
God might seem to be silent, but you need to understand that God is working behind you for your welfare. May be you are reading this message with great burden in your heart, as things have gone wrong in your life or may be in your family, I tell you that God will never forget His children especially those who seek Him with your whole heart.
You are saying that in case God had not forgotten you, then you would not have had, to go through such troubles. If only God remembered you then you would not have suffered such terrible things. You are in a fix. The problem has gone beyond your level of control, So you are compelled to think or say that God has forgotten you. He created you and He remembers your frame that you are dust. Your walls are ever before Him, then how can He forget you. We read in the Bible about Hagar. She, was, Abraham’s concubine and the mother of his son Ishmael. Purchased in Egypt, she served as a maid to Abraham’s childless wife, Sarah. So we see that Hagar worked in the house of Abraham as a maid but later she became the wife of Abraham and she gave birth to a son called Ishmael. After some years when Sarah gave birth to Isaac there arose some indifference between the Mistress and the maid. So Abraham sent Hagar out of his house along with her son, as he was commanded by the Lord.
Hagar walked in the wilderness, with her only son. When the water in the skin was empty, she put the boy under one of the bushes. Then she went off and sat down about a bowshot away, for she thought, “I cannot watch the boy die.” And as she sat there, she[ began to sob and cry bitterly. God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink. God quenched the thirsty boy and thus gave life to him who was at the verge of death. Thus we see that God remembered Hagar in the wilderness and also her dying son.
Both Abraham and Sarah for whom, Hagar had served so sincerely, had forgotten her. They did not think about her troubles in the desert. What she would do alone in the desert, with the boy or how will she manage if water gets over in the leather bag. But God Remembered Hagar. If this God could remember Hagar, will He not remember you and your family, or your problem? May be your son has not secured a job or your daughter is yet to get married. Nothing seems to happen. Then you tend to think that God has forgotten you. No not at all. God the Father is a God of promise. He will neither leave you nor forsake you. He who promised is faithful. He will guide you in the wilderness of your life as He led Hagar and her son. Do not lose hope. Trust in Him at all times. The Bible says, But whoever listens to Me, will dwell safely. And will be secure without fear of evil. Believe in God and be blessed.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for hearing the cry of Hagar in the wilderness and quenching the thirst of her son, by performing a miracle. Lord we understand that You are a God who remembered Hagar, and You will remember us also. In the same manner do miracles in our life and satisfy our needs. Help us to put our trust in You Lord at times when we are afraid.
In Jesus name we pray
Amen.

I greet and bless you in the name of our Creator, Maker, and ever unforgettable Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has kept for you today is from the book of Isaiah 35:10, “And those the Lord has rescued, will return. They will enter Zion, with singing; everlasting joy will be on their head. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away. ”
From the above context we learn that the children of God will return from their Captivity in Babylon. And they will enter Zion, with singing and rejoicing, Everlasting joy will be on their head, they will be filled with joy and gladness since they had been set free, and all their sighing and sorrow will flee away. The good news is that the God of Jacob does not abandon God’s people to their despair. Their sorrow will come to an end, and on a day when the sick body will find new life in God: Silent tongues will be loosened to sing songs of joy and freedom. Formerly feeble knees will walk themselves to Zion. Fearful hearts will look to the future with faith, hope and courage, while sorrow and sighing will be on the run.
What does the Lord expect from you to attain everlasting joy? Firstly if a person wants to attain eternal joy he must have union and fellowship with his church. God is very particular about our spiritual fellowship with God, through the relationship we have with our fellow believers in the church, which we go to. You must be known by the pastor who is the head of the church. You need to have active participation in other church activities. Some will just come to the church, attend service, give their offerings on Sunday and that is the end of their fellowship. This is a wrong attitude of a child of God. God is watching your attitude and your participation in the church. If not very big, at least in little things, you need to stretch out your contribution.
We read about Hannah in the Bible. She was tormented by her husband Elkanah’s first wife Peninnah, who kept nagging at her and rebuking her and wounding her with words, and criticising her and hurting her in such a way that caused Hannah to cry all the more. She wouldn’t eat for many days, because of her ill treatment she endured in the hands of Peninnah. She felt rather ashamed of herself for not being able to conceive and bring forth a child. She was childless. And this led her to frustration. But she did one good thing. She went in search of God. She did not lose her hope. She went to the temple of God and began to pour out her heart. She sat in the temple weeping. Being grief stricken she could not, utter words but her lips were mumbling with shivering. Eli the priest in the temple, who watched her odd behaviour, asked her if she had drunk wine.
Hannah replied saying, “Not so, my lord,” “I am a woman who is deeply troubled. I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring out my soul to the Lord. Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief.”Then Eli answered, “Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him.”She said, “May your servant find favour in your eyes.” Then she went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast. Since Hannah went in search of God in the temple, God heard her prayer. So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel,saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him.”
God gave her heart’s desire. Hannah’s rival, Peninnah could not further ridicule her or rebuke her anymore. God took away her shame and gave her joy and gladness. Where do you go when problems crop your way. Do you go in search of God like Hannah or do you go in search of soothsayers, fortune teller, or one who performs black magic, and sorcery. Think well for yourselves. Choose to go to God in prayer rather than go after, crystal gazer, or those who do witchcraft. Never ruin your life by taking wrong methods to solve your problem. Some for silly reason commit suicide. This is also wrong attitude. Let Hannah be your role model. The Bible says, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you. The Young lions do lack and suffer hunger, But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. “God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Teach us to go in search of God when we are in trouble rather than run after, soothsayers and fortune teller. Help us to interact in church activities. May we give our priority to church and fellowship with godly people. Help us to be like Hannah who sought God and went to the temple and prayed to God. Teach us to pray without ceasing.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
