Dearly Beloved, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Haggai 1:6 , “You have planted much but harvest little. You eat but you are not satisfied. You drink but you are still thirsty. You put on clothes but cannot keep yourself warm. Your wages disappear as though you were putting in pockets filled with holes.”
From the above context we come to know, what happened during the time of prophet Haggai. The Jews actually returned from the Babylonian captivity, under the leadership of Zerubbabel. At first the Hebrews had been anxious to re-establish their religious tradition. They set up the altar of burnt offerings and laid the foundations of the temple. But soon they became discouraged due to opposition, so the work of restoration was suspended.
Prophet Haggai encouraged the people to resume their work on the house of God. But gradually selfish materialism corroded their hearts, and they were more concerned for personal ambitions than the Lord’s interest. They actually neglected the building of God’s house, that they may have more time, and money for worldly affairs. Many good works that had been intended regarding the building of temple, was badly neglected as people considered that the proper time had not come to build the temple. Thus they shirked off their responsibility.
Thus even today believers let slip opportunities of usefulness and sinners delay, the concerns, of their souls. If we labour for the meat that perishes, we are in fear, of losing our labour. That is why Haggai says, You have planted much, but bring in little. You eat much but you are never satisfied. There is much drinking, and not to exhilarate. You put on clothes but you cannot keep yourself warm. As long as sin lasted, so long the punishment. As a result Gods appointment in nature to satisfy, to gladden, and to warm, failed of its effect. Hence it is better and wiser to seek to be blessed by God, who bestowed, on us all things. The Bible says, seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for telling us that all our labour will be in vain, if we labour for the meat that perishes. Lord let not selfish materialism corrode our hearts. But teach us to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, so that we may inherit the blessings of God.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Jeremiah 51:33, “The God of Israel says, The daughter Babylon is like a threshing floor, at the time it is trampled. In a little while her harvest will come.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we learn that Babylon is abundant in treasures. Yet neither her waters, nor her wealth shall secure her. Whenever we are in the greatest depths, we are to remember the Lord our God. And especially in the times of the greatest fears and hopes it is most needful to remember the Lord. By the fall of Babylon, all who supported idolatry and superstition were ruined. Then people mourned for their sin and sought the Lord. And the lost sheep of the house of Israel was brought back to the fold of the good shepherd. They shall stray no more.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Similarly God says, your children will be averted from going astray. They who were in sin and engaged in sinful activities will turn from their wrongful ways, and become wise and sensible. Children, who were foolish and unwise until today, will no longer remain the same. They, who had lost their life and bright future due to their stupidity, will regain stability in their life, by recovering sharpness in mind, and being more intelligent. God will sharpen their knowledge, like new threshing sledge with sharp teeth, in order that they may operate carefully and regain what they have lost in life. Every spirit of mental torture will be nullified in the name of Jesus. And God is setting them free from every attack of the evil spirit which led them to depression. God is providing a ray of hope.
Some of your loved ones may be in bondage because they are under depression and are mentally unstable. God is setting them free and giving them freedom. God who delivered the Legion, who was demon possessed, and was hurting himself, is releasing your children too from their bondages. Legion lived in the burial caves. And he was a man who was possessed with many legions. And he begged Jesus to send them into the swine that were feeding near the mountains. At once Jesus gave them permission. Then they immediately entered into the herd of swine, they were nearly two thousand, and the herd ran into the sea, and were drowned in the sea. Later people saw the demon possessed man sitting properly clothed and in his right mind. Do not fret or fear for the Lord will redeem them. They who were once lost in their mind, will be brought back to the fold, with refined thought and mindset. Though they were trampled down, believe that harvest of blessing will come. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for this valuable message. We remain grateful for enlightening our spirit and mind. Especially for refining the character, of our children and moulding them to good human beings.
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 given for you today is from the book of 1Samuel 9:5,20 ,“When they reached the district of Zuph, Saul said to the servant who was with him, “Come, let’s go back, or my father will stop thinking about the donkeys and become worried about us. But as for your donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not be anxious about them, for they have been found. And [a]on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on you and on all your father’s house?”
From the above context we read how Saul went with his servant in search of his father’s donkeys. They had been searching for the donkeys for many days, but couldn’t find them so they wanted to return home, since their father might not only be worried about the donkeys but also be worried about Saul and his servant. But the servant said, there is a man in this city who can surely say where our donkey is, so let’s go there, perhaps he can show us the way that we should go. So they went to the city where the man of God was. Thus they went in search of Prophet Samuel, to whom God had already told that a young man Saul from the land of Benjamin would be coming to meet him. And God said, “You shall anoint him as the commander over My people, Israel, that he might save My people, from the hand of the Philistines.” So Samuel met Saul and invited him to eat with him, and also told him not to be anxious about his lost donkeys as they all would be found.
The Bible says, the Son of God came to seek that which was lost. Have you lost anything? Are you searching for your lost wealth, property, your health, your job? What is it that you have lost? Don’t worry, for they will be found. Saul’s father bought those donkeys with hard earned money. He cared for the donkeys, so much but now they had been lost. Saul’s father was so worried. He couldn’t afford to lose his donkeys so he sent his son and his servant in search of his donkeys. But Samuel told them not to worry about the donkeys for they were found. Saul and his servant were pleased to hear the report of the lost donkeys. They knew that they would now return home with the donkeys. Many days had passed by in searching for the donkeys. Then Samuel took them into the hall, and made them sit in the seat of honour, along with thirty other head persons. So Saul ate with Samuel that day. Samuel also announced to Saul the good news that God has chosen him to be the commander of His people Israel. Samuel took a flask of oil, and poured it on his head and kissed him . Saul returned home to his father’s house not only with his lost donkeys but as an anointed royal king of Israel. He received double blessings. He who came in search of the donkey returned home as the anointed king.
So don’t be worried, because God will cause you to get back all that you have lost in life. God who considers that which does not exist, as if they existed, will help you get back all that you have lost It is an easy thing for God to do whether it is with the powerful, or with those who are powerless. You might have lost your job, your wealth, your house or your life partner, or your business. Whatever it might be, God is able to do great things, provided you wait on Him for His time. For He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you, ask or think. Therefore to those of you who are reading this message I wish to tell you, that if you lose a particular thing and you are worried about it, God knows your pain and struggle, so he will not only return that which you have lost but also, elevate your life in the society, as he lifted Saul who was from a humble tribe of Benjamin, to that of the king of Israel. God Bless You.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, thank You for telling us that You will help us get back all that we have lost in our life. We see how Saul found his donkeys and how he was anointed as the king of Israel. Thank You Lord for your grace and mercy shown to Saul, an ordinary man from the least tribe of Benjamin. Grant to us the same grace and mercy to find that which we have lost in our life.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
Isaiah 41:13, “Fear not, I will help you. ”
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious word of God that comes to you is taken from the book of Isaiah 41:13, “Fear not, I will help you. ”
Today many children are living in fear and that fear does not help them to move forward and has stopped their success in life. Fear has obstructed their bright future and even ruins their health, it causes wounds in the mind of a person. For those of you who are reading this message and if you are filled with such kind of fear, may the Lord help you to overcome this fear and cause peace in your heart and fill you with boldness and courage.
Some of you are saying there is no one to help me, injustly the entire village or town has come against me, my own family has come against me, and I am left all alone. Today anyone may come against you, but the Lord will be your help and support you in such circumstances. When the people of Israel cried out to the Lord saying, Lord, we are struggling on seeing the red sea before us, the Lord stood in favour of them and immediately stretched out His hands and divided the sea making way for them to pass. When the Egyptian army tried to overcome them, the Lord, overcame them by closing the division of the red sea. So, the Egyptian army was destroyed and overcome by the water of the red sea.
He who helped the people of Israel who struggled on seeing the red sea as an obstacle to proceed, will He not help you? The Bible says God fought against the Egyptians, for the sake of His people. So if you commit your life to God’s hand and if you call upon the name of the Lord, He will surely come to help you. Similarly, God will fight against your enemies in favour of You. You will search for them but you shall never be able to find them anymore. Those who caused you to fear, those who threatened you, those who provoked you to anger, or those who were planning to destroy you. You will not find the person who threatened you even if you search for him. Because the Lord has promised to help you and support you. If God is at your side then who can come against you? says Apostle Paul, in the book of Romans. So be cheerful in the Lord for He is your helper and strong support.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse “Fear not, I will help you”. Lord help my children who are in so much fear about something in their lives. Lord help them and support them with your power and strength. Lord fight for them and grant them peace. Remove the spirit of fear from them, and grant them the spirit of power, and sound mind. Let their future be bright and may they recover all that they had lost in their life. I thank you, Lord for helping them to live their life successfully.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
Joel 3:16, “But the Lord will be a shelter for his people, And the strength of the children of Israel.”
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious word of God that comes to you is taken from the book of Joel 3:16, “But the Lord will be a shelter for his people, And the strength of the children of Israel.”
My dear children, The Lord promises to go before you and straighten all that is crooked, but for that, we need to learn to depend upon Him and trust Him with our future. The moment you tell the Lord, that you desire to be His child and submit your life to be obedient to Him. He will take complete control of your life. Therefore, you need not worry. It is very important that we learn to trust the Lord with our whole heart which means to completely and wholeheartedly trust that His power and sovereignty will meet all our needs. This is a type of child-like trust in believing that our heavenly father will provide all our needs. We should never lean on our understanding but in all our ways learn to acknowledge Him, then surely God will direct our paths and lead us in a blessed way.
My dear children of God, the Lord assures you today that God will be a shelter to you and your family. He will not only be a shelter but also be your strength, as you are the chosen children of Israel. Today as you commit your lives to Him, He is receiving you as His children. God is giving you a special blessing, by acknowledging you as His precious children. He will accompany you wherever you go. He will be a shelter to you and a fortress to protect you from all danger and harm in the places you go to. He will destroy all the weapons formed against you. The sorcery and witchcraft formed against you will be completely destroyed by God because you are precious in his sight so, do not fear. The Lord will lead you and your family. He will form you and make you bold; make you walk on a new path with a bright future.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse “But the Lord will be a shelter for his people, And the strength of the children of Israel”. Dear Lord, I pray that there should be no barriers in the life of my children in moving forward in their life. Let them live joyfully as their soul prospers. Let them make an increase from the East and West and multiply in their strength and number. Destroy all the works of the evil one and every form of witchcraft and sorcery. Let miracles happen in their life such that they may proclaim all good things that happened in their lives as testimonies to others.
In Jesus Name We Pray
Amen
