Dearly Beloved, 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 Ruth 1:6.19, “Then she arose with her daughter in law that she might return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab, that the Lord had visited His people, by giving them bread.”Now the two of them went until they came to Bethlehem. And it happened, when they had to come to Bethlehem that all the city was excited because of them, and the women said, Is this Naomi. ”
We are in the time of great expectation. Now is the time to rise up and start a new life. For we need to make a bright future. Behold the past has gone the future is yet to begin. The hope of new beginning is about to start. These were the thoughts running in the mind of Naomi and Ruth. So they left Moab and went to Bethlehem because they heard the good news that God is providing food for the people in Bethlehem. While they lived in Moab they came across many unpleasant happenings in their lives. They were drenched in sorrow, pain, agony and remorse. Their life became miserable. It is in Moab that Naomi lost her husband. Ruth also lost her husband at a very young age. Both were widows. Having lost their beloved ones their heart did not permit them to continue in Moab any longer. They expected a change in their life. They were in a state of pain and despair. They expected that a better day would dawn in their life after having endured much struggle.
The good news of God’s provision of bread, in Bethlehem brought hope in them. Bethlehem which is called the house of bread was the native place of Naomi. But she went to Moab for better survival along with her husband and her two sons. There she got her sons married to girls of Moab. Suddenly her husband Elimelech died. And later her sons Mahlon, and Chilion also died. Naomi and Ruth were left bereaved. Naomi experienced great loss one after another. She was broken in spirit and physically, so she was looking forward for a new beginning. Both Naomi and Ruth did not sit and murmur against God, but they thought about taking the next step to move forward in life. This is the time that they heard that Bethlehem was prosperous and God was providing food for the people there. Immediately taking her young widowed daughter in law she walked to Bethlehem. The Bible says, and so they got up and left. They were making an effort to make a better life, after all the problems they had faced in Moab. To those of you reading this message, I think you too might be facing the same situation as Naomi and Ruth. We heard the cry of death carrying away many beloved brothers and sisters during Covid 19, leaving behind young widows, little children and even helpless elderly people. They were all filled with agony at the loss of their sons, daughters, husbands, wives and other relatives. You too might be experiencing great pain and distress. Though Naomi and Ruth lost everything in their life yet they never lost hope and faith in the true and living God.
Some of you might have lost your job, your wealth, your good health, peace of mind, joy and happiness. Well some of you might have lost your business too, or you might have become bankrupt, You may be in a fix, not knowing what to do. Like these two widows you too might be saying will we ever see, good days in our life. Will a bright future dawn in our life? Then you need to have hope and faith like these two women. In spite of all the troubles, they never lost their hope in God. They had great faith in God that He will surely open a new way for them in the land of Bethlehem. So they moved to Bethlehem from Moab. You may be caught up in sin and sinful deeds. God is waiting for you, to return to Him as these women who returned to Bethlehem. He will forgive you of all your sins, if you will get up from your current helpless situation and come up to Him, He will offer you many good things. Will you get up and come to him; Then He will gladly welcome you and make you ruler over many things.
For those of you who have faced only failures in life, you will hereafter experience victory in all that you do. Those of you who are suffering from continuous sickness, you will enjoy good health in future. God will bring healing into your bodies. God will grant you peace and calmness, instead of storm in your life. If Naomi and Ruth did not return to Bethlehem, then Ruth would not have been blessed by Boaz, who offered her another life. And Naomi would not have been able to fondle a blessed baby boy in her arms. God rewarded their faith. Hope in God is the foundation of strong faith in Him. You too will be blessed and God will help you see better days in life if you will return to God and live a life pleasing unto Him. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you for showing us the way to new life, through the character of Naomi. In spite of all the problems she faced, she had great faith in God. Give us this faith Lord. Help us to walk by faith and not by sight. Teach us to get up from our ordinary and low state of life, to that of rich, upliftment in life. May we too receive such good blessings as Ruth and Naomi received.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
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 of2 Kings 18:6, “Thou shall fear the LORD thy God; Him shall thou serve, and to him shall thou cleave, and swear by His name.”
From the above context we see that King Hezekiah was firm in his decision. According to the above context Hezekiah feared, served and clung to the Lord as king of Judah. He was considered as a righteous king. After King David, many kings failed to serve God but Hezekiah like David, followed the Lord in all his ways. Hezekiah was a true son of David. Though some of the kings, did that which was right, but they were not like David. God raised one up like David himself and he was King Hezekiah. He carefully preserved the brazen serpent that had been lifted up in the wilderness, as a memorial of God’s goodness to their fathers in the wilderness. But The People of Israel often forgot the goodness of their God, while they were in the wilderness, They did not heed to the word of God, or exercise their faith; in God, But they always believed in superstition and other dangerous evils and often, provoked God. True faith in God, meditation in God’s word, and prayer to the God of Israel, is all that one needs, to function as God’s children. Thus we see that Hezekiah trusted in the Lord God of Israel and did all that was right in the sight of God.
In the petty kingdom of Judah. The pious character and the excellent course of Hezekiah was admired by many other kings. Since Hezekiah feared the Lord, he was successful in all that he did, because he followed the commandments of God. The Bible says, God sent His Prophet Isaiah to inform him to set his house in order. He said, “Set Your house in order, for you shall die, and not live.”Hearing this Hezekiah was shocked, so he turned his face towards the wall and cried to the Lord. He also reminded God about all his good deeds. He reminded the Lord that he had been faithful to God, and that he had walked in truth and with a loyal heart, as the king of Judah. He wept bitterly before the Lord.
God took pity on Hezekiah and he spared his life and extended another fifteen years to his life. Thus we see how Hezekiah won the heart of God. And was a successful king of his times. To those of you who are reading this message, I wish to tell you that, all of us wish to be successful in our life. Many of you are longing to succeed in your profession, in your studies or in your business, or in your family life. But somehow you don’t seem to achieve success. May be you are, worried about your debts, you are wondering as to how you will clear the bills? You seem to be worried about your future? Trust in God Almighty. He will remove poverty from your house and keep you rich and prosperous. The Bible says, You shall seek Me and find Me, when you shall search for Me with all your heart. Are you willing to search for God? Are you ready to seek God and find Him while He is available to you. Change your attitude. Live up to His expectation. Do that which is right in the sight of God, like Hezekiah. Then you shall find a change in your life. Surrender to Him and you will be successful. All your desires will be fulfilled. He will crown you with joy. He will never ever put you to shame. Like Hezekiah God will also extend the days of your life. God Bless You.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for teaching us to hold on to You, to seek you and find you with all of our heart. Teach us to cling to You, that we may achieve success in our life. Help us to always, walk in tune with You. Never to forsake You or go away from Your presence. Help us to be like king Hezekiah, who did that which was right in the sight of God. Make us successful in all that we do.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved in Christ , 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 Philippians 4:6, 7, “Be Anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. ”
From the above context we learn that we should not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, and with thanksgiving, we should make requests to God. And the peace of God, will guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. ”God is speaking to you through this message. He is saying from today onwards, you should not worry about anything. God says, I am there for you. So you don’t worry. Don’t be anxious about anything, Many of you are saying, “Who is there for me? Who is there to help me, during times of difficulty? Who is there to help me out, when I am in trouble? But Jesus looking at you is saying, “Do not worry, I am there for you. I will never leave you destitute. I will never leave you nor forsake you. I came to give you life more abundantly. So bring all your sorrows and your burdens, and leave them at the feet of the Lord. Bible says, cast all your cares upon Him for He cares for you. He loves us much. He is pleased to bless us. That is why He has spared our lives from the mouth of the grave, even when we were passing through hard time like Covid 19. Money, position, wealth and power couldn’t save them. Many well known doctors, Ministers, Cine actors, popular industrialists, many men and women, youngsters and even small children became victims to Corona. No one could save their lives. Only God has the authority over life and death.
For He is a God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think or pray for. He is a God who cares for you. People around you may expect that some harm might come to you. But God wants to bless you always. He is ever willing to shoulder your problems so you cast all your burden upon him and remain calm and quiet. He will fight the battle for you. Believe in this God of miracle. The entire world has learnt the lesson that nothing could save the life of man. Only God can.
2000 Years ago while Jesus lived on the face of this earth, there was a man called Jairus. He was a ruler in the synagogue of Capernaum (Mark 5:22), He came to Jesus, and told him that his 12 year old daughter was in sick bed almost at the verge of death. He pleaded Jesus to come to his home and heal his daughter. He said, “Doctors have failed to heal my daughter. They say she will not survive.” I am pained at heart to see my daughter. I cannot bear to see her suffering. I fully know that only You Lord can heal my Daughter. He fell at the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ. ” On hearing the news Jesus went to Jairus’s house but before he could reach the house he got the news that she had died. But Jesus looked at him and said, “Just Believe.”Jesus continued to walk on toward his house, there were people crying and weeping over the death of the 12 year old girl. But Jesus looked at the people and said, “Do not weep the girl is asleep”. But they ignored his saying. So He went into the house and asked all of them to leave the room then he touched her hand and lifted her up and handed her over to her father. Jesus changed their sorrow into joy. He made their mourning into dancing. There was laughter and happiness in the air.
May be you are burdened like Jairus, who pleaded the Lord to heal his daughter. You are burdened with sorrow as you have lost your dear one. May be your son, or daughter, Your father or mother because of Corona. Only Jesus can grant you real peace. He will save you to the uttermost. Since Jairus invited Jesus into his house, Jesus gave her life. Jesus will give you life or heal you of your disease if you invite Jesus into your house. Tell Jesus your grief and sorrow, Tell him that you are going through depression because of the problems and ask him to come into your house. He will help you to restore all that you have lost in your life. Jesus came into the world to give us life more abundantly. Jesus will give you life. He will give you wealth, good health to enjoy life. He said, Ask and you shall receive. God says,”Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You because You love us and care for us. Help us to cast all our burdens upon you and be patient. Teach us not to be anxious about anything. But to offer our prayers, and supplications, without any anxiety. Lord we have learnt to submit our burdens at your feet in future. And believe that God will perform a miracle for us as He raised the 12 year old girl and made Jairus a happy father, by performing a miracle for him. We praise the name of the Lord and pay our reverence to him, who does wonders beyond numbers.
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 Psalms: 34:4, 5, “I sought the Lord and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him and were radiant. And their faces were not ashamed. ”
From the above context we learn that the Psalmist sought the Lord for help, and God heard his cry and delivered him from all his fears. The Bible speaks of many who were in trouble and they cried unto God and He delivered them all from their troubles.
God is coming in the midst of those who are reading this message to fulfil the desires of your heart. He is going to rescue you from the places, where you have been caught up. May be you are in a court case that is pending for some years. Or you may have borrowed huge amount from your own relative, or your land Lord, pledging your land document. Now the interest has increased so much that you are unable to pay back the dues and may have to forgo your land property. You are struck with grief. You are thinking instead of living in such a condition it would have been better if I had died. Your mind is crowded with all kinds of sorrowful thoughts. But the Bible says, this poor man cried and the Lord heard him and delivered him from all his troubles. God’s children must be ready to cry out their problem before God. When you are in trouble call upon the name of your God, He will rescue you from all your troubles. May be you are trying to solve all your problems by your own strength, but it has been a failure. Things will go worse than this. But if you call upon the name of the Lord God will come to your aid and rescue you completely whether in the midnight or in the deep sea, as soon as you call Jesus will come to help you.
Well all you got to do is to call upon the Name of the Lord. He will come and deliver your family from facing such situation. Is your daughter caught up in some unwanted affairs and you are unable to redeem her from such a horrible snare, and then call upon the name of the lord. God will rescue you and your daughter, as he is able to save you to the uttermost. As a father pities his children so the Lord pities those that fear Him. For fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. It is possible for one to fall into a snare but when you call upon the Name of Jesus He will descend upon you and save you, by some way or other. When you take steps by your own, strength, it will be a failure but if you look up to God for help, and commit your ways unto the Lord then He will solve all your problems.
David in his psalms says, “The pains of death surrounded me, And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me, I found trouble and sorrow. Then I called on the name of the Lord, O Lord, I implore You to deliver my soul. For You have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And My feet from falling.” May God help all those of you reading this message to call on the name of the Lord in case you are going through some kind of trouble. He will hear your call and deliver you. For it pleased the Lord to bless Israel. He is ever pleased to bless you and your children. The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him, those who hope in his mercy. The Lord is near unto all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. May God give you good understanding and knowledge to walk in truth and righteousness before God. Then you shall be blessed. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for telling us the necessity to call upon the name of God when we are in trouble. Teach us to seek your face like David. Deliver us from all the problems that we face daily. Help us never to get caught in unnecessary snares spread out by wicked people to trap us. May we be alert in our life never to indulge in such activities. Bring peace and harmony into our families.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved, 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 Matthew 28:20, “Observe all things I have commanded you, for, Lo I am with you always even to the end of the age.”
From the above context we learn that our God will remain with us always even to the end of the age if you determine to observe all the things that God has commanded you. God wants to live with each one of you. When He abides with you, then you can face all the problems without any fear or anxiety. Just before ascending to the Father in heaven, the Lord Jesus commissioned His followers to go and make disciples, of all the nations – teaching them to observe all things whatsoever He had commanded them, and then He made the most astonishing claim –He said, lo, I am with you always even unto the end of the world. The disciples were confused because they did not know for sure where Jesus was going to. Then they would be left alone to face the consequences. They were rather afraid. So the Lord Jesus promised to be with His disciples forever and for always. He promised to be with each one of them. He promised to stay in union with each of His followers. He promised to remain in the midst of all of them. And His precious promise reaches down the centuries, touching each of His children, to the very end of the age. Jesus promises to be with us to the end of the world. He shall make a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth will pass away.
Jesus is our Good Shepherd, Who has said He would never leave us nor forsake us, no matter what situation we find ourselves in – no matter what difficult life-circumstances we face. He has promised to be with us forever and always, no matter what burdens press in on us – no matter what personal difficulties embroil us, and no matter what impending evil is crouching in the shadows. All authority in heaven and earth and under the earth has been placed under His control, and He says with authority – Lo, I am with You, even unto the very end. Praise be to God. We read in the Bible that God was with David and so he increased day by day. He too had to face many struggles in his life but since God was with him he was able to overcome all his difficulties by the strength of God who was within him. In this world as long as you have name fame and wealth people will be friendly with you but when you face a problem all will disappear. No one will come to help you. We have often heard people say, I have suffered much in life, and so I know what the world means to me. And how most of the men are. I know how they will behave when we ask for help, while we go through troubles. But the Bible says, “It was good that I was afflicted, that I may learn Your precepts.”
When you go through crisis men will turn indifferent to you. They will avoid you, fearing that you may seek their help. There is a great difference between God and Man. When man helps he will help you with a demand. Only if you are capable of fulfilling his demands he will come forward to help you. But God expects nothing from you in return for the help He does in your life. He will be of help to you all through your life. When you go through crisis, a rich brother or sister may come forward to help you. But if you have 40 lakhs debts they may be able to help you with only five lakhs. What will you do for the rest of the amount say 35 lakhs? This is the state of many in this world. Your brother or sister may be willing to help you but they could not afford to make full payment and clear your debts. Because they may not be in a position to help you. But when God wants to help you, He will rescue you completely from your sin and curse and will redeem you from all your problems. God says, Look I will be with you and support you till the end of this world. But man will say, “Look I have done what I could. I cannot do anymore. Don’t come home hereafter, asking for help. But God says, “I will be with you always.” How good a God, He is. He is also known as Ebenezer, which means, Helper. When you call upon Him, He responds to your call and solves your problem.
God has enabled you to read this message with a hope of comforting and consoling you, who are struggling in your life, with various problems. He wants to encourage you and strengthen you, while you go through crisis. He knows very well that you cannot do anything without his help. He is a God who will meet all your needs for He is your heavenly father. God has power and authority both in Heaven and on earth. He is Almighty, all powerful. God never rejects you instead He accepts you as you are with all your problems. Sickness, your debts, whatever it may be, He will accept you and change you into the kind of person, God expects you to be and will bless you to prosper. He will help you to clear all your debts, and increase you on every side. All we need to do is to be with God. If God is with you then you will be successful in all that you do. He will help you to solve all your problems. All your debts, disease, poverty will come to an end. Sin and curse of your past life will come to an end. You will be blessed with a new life. Your character will change. God will be pleased with you. You will become a new creation in Christ. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for your son Jesus. Thank You that He is the Head of our body and thank You that He is with us no matter what difficulties press in, on us or what evil circumstances surrounds us. Thank You for His reassuring presence and His precious promise to be with us always. Give us the grace and opportunity to witness for You and to teach the truth of Your word, to all with whom we come in contact.
May praise and glory, be to you.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
