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 Job 42:2, “I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.”
From the above context we understand that Our God is able to do all things. So Job believed that God is all powerful and can do anything for him and nothing that he has decided to do for him can be hindered. Our God is all powerful. He created the world by His word. He made the moon and the stars. He calls the stars by name. The Sun to rule the day and Moon to rule the night. No one can go near the Sun. The Sun is so powerful that the Moon derives its light from the sun. Who can understand the power of God who has made the Earth and let it hang in the atmosphere. If God could create all this by His power then you imagine how powerful He must be. There is power in His word. For He spoke and it was done. He commanded and it stood fast. He sends His word and heals the sick. It is the power of God that has established this Earth or stabilised it. You need to understand the power of the Sea Waves. In case someone gets caught in the swirling waves, no one can rescue him, from the power of the waves. They will perish in the Sea. So think how powerful our God is, who has kept such power in the Waves of the Sea.
We hear of hail storm, floods, cyclone and other disaster that sometimes strike the land. We see them rush with great power and speed that they destroy huge trees, buildings and many structures. Who has given them this power? It works in the power of God Almighty who created the Earth and Heaven. The Wind which blows has great power. It can carry away anything and destroy everything. God has put into the Wind such great power It took Job some time to come to an understanding that he was being afflicted and this affliction will not last long. He couldn’t question the mighty hand of the omniscient and omnipotent God. For a time, all Job had was a shallow knowledge of God but later he received a deeper and more intimated awareness of Who God truly is. He realised that God was all powerful. Though Job’s whole world had collapsed in one day and he became pitiably derided by his friends and the laughing stock of the neighbourhood, Job, believed in God? Job came to a realisation that God knows all things and God can do anything and that God must be trusted, unquestioningly, to remain in charge of everything without interference or accusations from those, whose understanding of the deep things the Lord God, are so limited.
Through this message God wants to convey to all of you who are reading this message, that God is powerful and He is able to do all things. And what He has decided to do for you and your children He will surely do and nothing can stop Him from doing it. God does everything in a particular time and season. He has great plans for you. In case He gives the blessing before you are fit or capable of handling the blessing, it will be of no use. He postpones the blessings until you are thoroughly fit to handle the blessing, so that you can enjoy the blessings of God. Therefore though Job was being afflicted he had great hope in God. He had lost his ten children, he had lost all his cattle, wealth, high position in the society and his body was filled with boils. He was unable to face his friends and relatives. They thought he had done some secret sin, so God has punished him. But Job knew that God who had afflicted him will soon deliver him from his affliction. Job finally came to an understanding that God can do anything and nothing that He plans is impossible. But to reach this level of understanding, he had to humble himself, accept the current situation, and simply wait on the Lord for the right time. Job’s realization of the power of God instils faith and trust, that God desires for all His children to understand … that God can do anything, and God has the right to do whatsoever He will – and nothing that He plans, and purposes is impossible – for He alone is God.
I know of such people who thought they were capable of doing great things, but later when things became a flop, they would say, “I have come to this poor state because I did not walk with wisdom. I have lost everything because of poor knowledge.”So you need to walk with wisdom and with discretion to be successful. God knows when and how, He should bless you. Job by experience and sheer faith believes that God who inflicted him is able to deliver him from all his affliction. He wonders when there will be a change in his life. So He says, “I shall wait patiently for the right time.”This means that he knew that, at the appointed time God will deliver him from all his troubles. And He is confident that, his own eyes, will witness his good days in life. How about you dear Brother and Sister ? Do you believe that good days are ahead of you? May be today you are struggling in life because of some affliction. Is it because of huge debts? Have you to settle your daughter, but you don’t have the needed resource. May be because of Corona you had lost your job and you are at the moment looking out for a good job? Are you troubled because of your disobedient children? Whatever it may be, have faith like Job , that God is able to do all things and surely the end will come to all your sufferings when you look up to God. Commit your ways unto the Lord trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Father God we thank you for making us understand the power of God. Help us to realize our mistakes and have faith in God that He is able to do all things. May we learn to wait upon God for the right time, to receive God’s blessing. Teach us to walk with wisdom. May we witness good days in our life too. Bless us , as you blessed Job with a double portion of blessing.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
My 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 Ruth 3:10,11, He said, “May ADONAI bless you, my daughter. Your latest kindness is even greater than your first, in that you didn’t go after the young men, neither the rich ones nor the poor. And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you everything you say, for all the city leaders among my people know that you are a woman of good character.”
From the above context we learn that Boaz blesses Ruth and shows kindness to her. The conduct of Boaz calls for the highest praise. He attempted not to take advantage of Ruth; he did not disdain her as a poor, destitute stranger, nor suspect her of any ill intentions. He spoke honourably of her as a virtuous woman, made her a promise, and sent her away with a present to her mother-in-law. Boaz made his promise conditional, for there was a kinsman nearer than he, to whom the right of redemption belonged.
Naomi asked Ruth to behave wisely with her distant relative, Boaz who was the owner of the field in which Ruth went to glean barley and wheat till the end of the harvest season. Ruth behaved well as she was instructed by her mother in law. Therefore she found grace in the sight of Boaz. And Boaz answered and said to her, “It has been fully reported to me, all that you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and have come to a people whom you did not know before. The Lord, repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.” Ruth had shown much love to her husband while living and dying, and to her mother-in-law, in leaving her country Moab, and kindred to come with her into a strange country, Bethlehem, and in labour to support her, as she had done, all which was great kindness, but the kindness she now showed exceeded all the former, in that she was desirous, according to the law of God, to build up her husband’s family, to marry the next near kinsman, even
though an old man, to raise up seed to the name and memory of her husband.
Now Boaz mentions this as an instance of her virtue, and of her great respect to her husband’s family, that a woman of such amiable qualities, virtuous, young, and beautiful, who doubtless might have been married to a young man in her own country, or in Israel, but chose to marry the nearest of kin in her husband’s family, to perpetuate his name and memory. When Ruth left her home and followed her mother in law to Bethlehem she did not expect that God would give her another opportunity to live her life. Though she had returned as a widow, to Bethlehem, God rewarded her for her faithfulness towards her mother in law. Moreover she accepted her God as her God and the people of Naomi as her people. This pleased the Lord. Though she was a young Moabites woman a forsaken widow, Boaz did not despise her, nor did he underestimate her in any way. Instead he called her blessed. God will bless you too and give you another opportunity to live your life provided you remain faithful to your parents or you’re in laws. God who sees you in secret will bless you outwardly. God Bless you.
prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Heavenly Father, thank You for showing to us the unique character of Naomi, Ruth and Boaz. You helped them to be honest and faithful to each other. Enable us to learn from them the art of good behaviour. Kindness, long suffering and bearing with one another. Reward us too, as You rewarded Ruth and Boaz and Naomi.
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 of Isaiah 55:8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts. Neither are your ways, My ways, says the Lord. For As the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we come to understand that many are the .plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. It is so easy to be overwhelmed by despair, and fear in the world today. Sin, war, and sickness all find a way, to steal our hopes and cause us to doubt that there is a good future ahead. Yet God promises us that He has plans for us that are of a good future with hope, Through the power of the Holy Spirit, you are able to look forward with joy, to God’s destiny on your life.
God’s thoughts toward us is not the same as our thoughts. Neither are His ways, similar to that of our ways. Yet everyone of you are expecting a good end to your problems and all that you have planned. You are rather afraid, as to where these, will lead you to. Will it end in evil ways? Or will it lead to a good end ? Well if you surrender your ways to the devil, then it will lead to evil ways. If you surrender your ways to the Lord then it will lead to a good end. It is how you choose the way?
We read about Joseph who was one such person who surrendered his life to the will of God. Of course he was thrown into a deep pit by his own brothers. Later they pulled him up and sold him to the Midianite traders, for twenty pieces of silver to the Ishmaelite, who took him to Egypt. This is how God had taken him to Egypt. God had a plan and a purpose for taking him to Egypt. He did suffer a lot in the hands of his own brothers who had planned to kill him, and then he was tempted by Potipher’s wife. Satan had devised an evil plan for his life. Satan brought before him a beautiful woman, Potipher’s wife who tempted him to do evil before God. So he was subjected to very painful situation in his life. But, since he surrendered his life to the Lord, and gave himself to the plan of God, by running away from committing sin, God was with him and helped him in the most difficult times of his life. Especially when he was thrown into the prison for no fault of his. He was falsely accused and thrown into the prison. Even there he was chosen to be, in charge of the prison by the Prison Warden. God changed the evil for his own good.
God had not forgotten him in the prison. Soon he became the Governor of Egypt as he interpreted the dream of Pharaoh. Thus God exalted him in that great nation of Egypt. And used him mightily for the glory of God. God used him to provide food grains to the people in and around Egypt during the time of famine. He became a renowned personality in the region, as he depended on God. He was exalted among all his brethren. Thus God had a prosperous plan for him. Initially there were problems and he had to go through hardships. Though the beginning was very insignificant the end was a great blessing.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God who prospered Joseph will prosper you too if your ways are pleasing to the Lord. God knows the way you take. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him; And He shall direct your paths. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord help us to make the right decision in our life. Teach us to do the will of God and not follow the steps of the devil. Make us to hear your voice and walk steadily in our life. Never to fear at little things that crop up in our lives and feel frustrated but boldly endure the troubles and glorify God. Help us to be like Joseph who set an example of Christ.
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 Bible says, “Rejoice in the Lord Always. And again, I say rejoice in the Lord.” Many of you have taken new steps for this year with all your desires, ambitions, goals, and determination to achieve them. I Pray that God will fulfil all the desires of your heart.
On this happy occasion I wish you all, on behalf of my family, and God’s Love Ministries, a Very Happy New Year. May God’s name be glorified. I am glad to meet you all directly through this message, at your homes. You may be wondering how this year “2022” is going to be, after experiencing very hard years, 2020 and 2021. Well, the blessed word for this new year is from the Book of Isaiah 43:18,19, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness, and streams in the wasteland.”
God does not want you to think of the past years that caused misery in your life. Especially due to Corona many lost your dear ones. Some of you have been ill for various reasons. Some lost their jobs and had to go through financial crisis. These years were filled with troubles, death and destruction. God wants to reconstruct all the broken edges of your life. He will repair unpleasant incidents that happened in the past and bring about new changes into your life. He will do a new thing for you right now. So, you don’t have to feel upset about your future. He is a God who builds and does not pull you down. But this year you need to inherit the nature of Christ in you. God has placed before you certain conditions for you to follow in order that you may inherit God’s blessings for you and your children. Start family prayer in your homes, those of you who never have family prayer. Husbands love your wives as the Lord loves His church. Be kind to one another. Love each other for what you are. Wives must not only respect your husband’s but also understand their feelings. Children respect your parents as this is good in the sight of God. Keep your parents happy. When parents discuss about your marriage give ear to them. Never show your resentment to what they have to say. Then God will bless you.
Never fail to attend church service. Then God will bless you. Never refuse to go to church and keep wasting your time at home. Never speak ill about preachers. Make a commitment to God that you will live a life pleasing unto God. Daniel made a commitment saying that he will not eat of the delicacies’ offered to the king. Instead, he will eat ordinary food. He remained faithful to God. So, God exalted him and made him sit with kings and princes of Babylon. God will exalt you also when you make a commitment for Him. That you will remain truthful to God at all times. You will follow all that is told above in this message. It is all a reminder for the new year to be followed by you. God will then be pleased with you. He will make you the head and not the tail. You will be above and not beneath. Some of you might have gone through great loss during the period of Corona. And thereby ended up in depression. This year you shall experience double fold blessing. God will help you get back all that you have lost in your life, in the bygone years.
Dearly Beloved, Firstly, God wants to make you as a sharp threshing instrument. Isaiah 41:15 says, “See, I will make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them,
and reduce the hills to chaff.” This verse says, that God will make you as a sharp instrument so that you can face any problems that you come across, in the new year. He will make you sharper with wisdom, in knowledge and you shall have sharp understanding, to excel in your education, in your work spot, in your business and also in your family life. You will walk in wisdom. Even if thousands should fall at your right side, nothing will come near you. God will protect you. He will put a hedge of protection over you and watch over you as the apple of His eye. God’s word is a strong tower and those who come inside will be safe.
Secondly God wants to bless you with His abundant grace. Lamentation 3:22 & 23 says, Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him! You must hope in the Lord for all your dealings then He will bless you. God will place your family in the ark of Christ that will protect you during the storms, as He protected Noah and his family. God will meet you, if you search for him in the morning. Abraham who was known as the friend of God spoke to Him in the early hours of the day. God’s grace will provide you with new job, better scale of pay or an increment in your service or a promotion for which you are waiting for a long time. God’s grace will make you suitable to conceive and bear a child in the coming year.
Thirdly God wants to bless you with new strength. May be due to depression you would have lost all your strength. He wants to renew your strength. Isaiah 40;31 says, but those who wait on the Lord, shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” God will give you strength but you should wait. You should not take any negative decision, or utter any negative word regarding your current situation. Instead, you must keep praising the Lord. Then God will exalt you. Never speak hastily wrong words and spoil the good relationship with others. I say “Epatha” to those who fail to hear or speak. God will help them to hear well and speak too. You need to take your steps by faith in the Lord. Then God will give you strength.
Fourthly God will anoint you with His holy oil. Psalm 92:10 ‘But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil.” God will not only give you the strength of the oxen but also pour fresh oil and anoint you. God will exalt your horn like that of the wild ox. You will begin to shine or be recognized by the people around you. Your name will become great and popular. You will receive honour and praise from others. Prophet Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed David in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came upon David in power. When the oil of anointing, is poured upon you, then you shall receive an unknown strength and power. God will make all your parched areas in your life to be fertile and greenery. You will bring forth a 100-fold, even during dry and famine season of your life. May all the desires of your heart be fulfilled in this new year 2022. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, we thank You for encouraging us through this message. Help us to live a life pleasing unto God. Help us to make a commitment that we would remain faithful to God. Teach us to obtain the grace of God, be a sharp instrument for God, Receive the strength of God, and also be anointed by the fresh oil of God. Dear Lord fulfil all the desires of our heart.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of Colossians 3:23,“ Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. ”
From the above context we learn that whatever we do, we should do it sincerely. We should work, not to please men but God. For He watches all our work. For the Lord is in Heaven and does what He pleases. He is a God who gives you wisdom, knowledge and wealth. If you make Him the master and portion of your life then you will be a successful person. May be initially there will be struggles. But later you shall enjoy the glory of God and His righteousness. Many people often tell me that they have lost everything in their life because of their carelessness. They say, “We have nothing left in our life.”People always calculate the material blessings of this world. I would tell them that they have lost only worldly things. But praise be to God, for they have not lost God who is the creator of all things. You can lose anything in life. But not God, for He will be your shield and shelter.
Apostle Paul speaks about the many advantages of being in Christ in the first two chapters of Colossians. He lays before us the glories of God’s grace, and the heavenly privileges, of which we are all beneficiaries. Paul turns his attention to practical application in the final two chapters of his epistle to the Colossians. At first, he deals with the responsibilities, duties and mutual respect of wives and husbands towards each other, parents with their children, masters and their servants and we are encouraged to act circumspectly, and to work willingly and enthusiastically – and to do all that we do with our whole heart and in a manner that is pleasing to the Lord – as though we were working for the Lord Himself, rather than for people.
Therefore, our actions should reflect purity of attitudes and not be carried out grudgingly or simply due to necessity or need. There should be no inner murmurings or resentments, but rather our work should flow from an inner being that delights to be of service – and seeks to undertake all that we do enthusiastically and with blessed goodwill, as though we were doing it all for the Lord Jesus Himself. You may be a business person. You may be a teacher, a doctor, an engineer, working for constructions; you may be a builder, a carpenter, or a nurse. Whatever might be your profession, you need to work not for the money you earn, but for the joy of your work. God has placed you in that position so you need to do a better job, at your work spot. You need to rise up in life. You must be appreciated by your boss. Only then you can hope for a promotion or receive an increment of payment. Keeping this in mind, you need to work hard to excel in your career. Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically, as something done for the Lord and not for men. Then God will honour you at your work place before others. The Bible says, “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings. He will not stand before unknown men. ”Therefore from this moment forward, whatever you do, whether in word or deed, let us undertake to do it with a pure heart and seek to do it as unto the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through Him.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, we thank You because You consider our sincere work. We believe that you will honour us at our work place, if we work faithfully and honestly. Loving Lord, as we undertake the daily roles and responsibility in our life, we pray that we will undertake it willingly, enthusiastically and to the best of our ability. We pray that in all that we say, or do, we may do it unto God for the praise and glory of God.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
