My dear Brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given you for today is from the book of Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we learn that the law of God is perfect, but the penalty for breaking any part of Gods, law, however, insignificant it may be in our sight leads to death—eternal separation from God. The Bible says, All have sinned and all have fallen short of the glory and perfection of God. And the wages of sin is death. But God in His grace ordained that the curse of the law can be lifted only through the sacrifice of His dearly Beloved Son.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, there is nothing, that we can do, to redeem ourselves from the penalty of sin and be set free from the curse of the Law. And there is nothing that we can add to the price that Jesus paid on the cross. Only God Himself in the Person of Jesus Christ is able to redeem us, and He did this by dying on a tree and becoming a curse in our place. And the price that Christ paid is sufficient.
It was Moses who wrote that the penalty for condemned criminals was to hang upon a tree, as a sign that they were cursed of God, and by being lifted up and hung on Calvary’s Tree, Christ was made a curse for us. During the journey in the wilderness the people of Israel spoke against God and Moses. So the Lord sent fiery serpents, to bite them. And many people died. Then they repented of their wrong doings, and asked Moses to pray to the Lord, to take away the serpents from them. Then God told, Moses to erect a bronze serpent on a pole, and so it was, if anyone was bitten by the serpent, when he looked at the bronze serpent he lived. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so Jesus was lifted up on the cross of Calvary, that whoever believed on him should be saved.
Christ redeemed us by dying in our place and the wrath of God was poured out upon Jesus to pay the price for your sins and that of mine, instead of God’s wrath being poured out on you and on me. And without the death of the holy Son of God there could be no redemption from the terrible curse . The curse of Law is death, but Christ paid the price in our stead.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God doesn’t want you to live in curse. God wants you to live a blessed life hence, He Himself became a curse and hung on the cross. No curse shall follow you. God will make you stand before all those people who cursed you. God says, He is pleased and loves to bless Israel. He will bless you and give you all the blessings that you are lacking. God will do as He says. He will surely bless you. It is not God’s will to see you getting destroyed or being in bondage or in any captivity. He wants you to inherit all the blessings of Abraham, and live a blessed life. The Bible says, the blessing of the Lord is upon the righteous. The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it. For until this time you have suffered sufficiently. God is bringing an end to all your sufferings.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from today God will bless you and settle all your debts and make you free from all your financial crisis. He will help you to secure a good job and help you earn a better income. May be all these years you were looking out for a life partner but nothing seemed to work but surely your hope will not be cut of, for there is a hereafter. God will provide you with a good life partner. And for those of you who are anxiously waiting for the gift of a child, may have tried all methods but because, you were under some bondage you were unable to beget a child. But now God is removing your curse and blessing you with a beautiful child. May be until now you didn’t do well in your studies, but in future you will excel in your studies and have a bright future. God will put an end to all your problems and He will give His strength to overcome all your troubles. He will change your curse into a blessing. God bless you.
Prayer: Our Loving Heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for changing the curse into blessing by dying on the cruel cross. Lord thank you for protecting us from the hand of the enemy, Satan. Thank you for settling all our problems. Lord we thank you for lifting up our heads before others. Bless Israel in all his ways. 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 33:6, “ Wisdom and Knowledge will be the stability of your times and the strength of salvation. The fear of the Lord is His treasure.”
The above verse indicates to us the time when Jesus will come down again to this earth and establish his kingdom. Then Jerusalem or Zion shall be the capital and the Lord will fill Zion with justice and holiness. For the Bible says, then all your people will be righteous. Thus we see that righteousness exalts a nation. And at that time Israel shall be exalted above all the nations of the earth. The stability of God’s people will not be in human wisdom, commercial success or military prowess, but in spiritual strength. At that time God’s people will give him the respect and homage, that he deserves, and they will then reap a wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge.
God wants to bless all those who fear the Lord, with three blessings, namely free gift of salvation and wisdom and knowledge. God desires to bless you with these gifts that are so precious, permanently during the course of your life time. The Bible says, It will be stabilized in your times. It is not the plan of God that you should remain with God through salvation, for a short while and then refrain yourself from God or backslide from God. Some of you reading this message are in tears because your children who were regular to church, and who walked in the fear of God have fallen back from attending Church services and they talk badly about pastors and elders in the church. Once upon a time they were active participants in the church choir and even in the church activities. But now they seem to have lost all interest in spiritual matters.
God wants to bring back those children who have lost their first love with God. He will then wipe away all tears from your eyes concerning your children. He will again make you joyful parents with regarding to your children. Just as Jerusalem will be filled with justice and righteousness. Your house will be filled with spiritual fervor and bliss. God will change the hearts and mind of your children for you have spent years in tearful prayers for the goodness of your children. You seem to say, “We have no greater joy, than to hear that our children, walk in the fear of the Lord, and truth.”God will once again bring such joy in your homes, which you had lost for a while. Your children may not be reading this message at this moment but I tell you that God will soon perform a miracle for you. He is a God at hand and afar off. God will surely touch them, and bring them back to His fold and bless them with complete salvation, wisdom and knowledge. God says, “All your children shall be taught by the Lord. And great shall be the peace of your children.” Hallelujah! So rejoice in the Lord always. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You for watching over us and our children. Please change the attitude of our children. Revive them O Lord, Help them to return back to You. Never let them go. Draw them close to You. Forgive them of their backsliding and bring them back to Your fold. Let them enjoy salvation, wisdom and knowledge. May they walk in truth.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
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 Psalms 12:5, “For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now I will arise, says, the Lord, I will set him in the safety for which he earns.”
From the above context, we see how the Psalmist pleads help from God, because there were none among men whom he could dare trust. This Psalm furnishes good thoughts, during bad times. A man may comfort himself, with meditations, and prayers. Bad times occur especially due to scarcity of money, decay of trade, and the desolations of war. But Psalmist says, that bad times are caused due to sin. When the poor and needy are oppressed then the times are very bad. Even when wickedness abounds then the times are very bad. God himself takes notice of the oppression of the poor and the sighing of the needy.
Therefore we need to approach God, and tell him of all grievances, God will certainly punish and restrain false and proud men. He will work deliverance for his oppressed people. His help is given in the fittest time. Though men are false, God is faithful. God will secure his chosen remnant however bad the times are. As long as the world exists, there will be a generation of proud and wicked men. But all God’s people are safe in the hands of God for none can pluck them thence. Since they are built in Him the Rock, and they are safe.
The people of God are poor and are constantly in need of fresh supplies of grace and being often afflicted, are mean in the eyes of this world. Just as the poor are oppressed by the rich, and as the people of Israel, were oppressed by the Egyptians, so are the people of God afflicted by haughty and insolent persons.
So the Lord says, “ Now will I arise, to have mercy on the poor, and needy and to avenge them on their oppressors, and deliver them from their cruel hands.” And thus the Lord promises to do now, speedily and immediately. God arises in the most seasonable times when his people are in the midst of greatest tribulation and in the utmost distress. To such people, God displays, His wisdom power, and goodness. God says, “I will set him in safety for which he earns.”
This shows that God will deliver the poor and needy from their oppression and put them in a comfortable prosperous, safe and happy situation. In due season the Lord will hear the cry of his children who cry out to God day and night unto Him. He will avenge them speedily. God heard the cry of Moses at the Red Sea. God saw Hagar’s affliction and heard her cry. Nothing moves the father like the cries of his children. He stirs himself, overthrows the enemy and sets his beloved in safety. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we believe that You stand on behalf, of the poor, and oppressed. You hear their cry and deliver them from the hands of cruel and tyrant people. Thank You for being so mindful and faithful to your children. May Your wisdom, power and goodness abide within us throughout our lives. 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 Philippians 4:13 “ I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.”
From the above verse we come to learn that Apostle Paul was commissioned to do the Lords work. And he readily accepted God’s call, in spite of his weakness. He made mention of his weakness to the Lord three times but the Lord said to him, “My grace is sufficient for you. For My strength is made perfect in weakness.”So after that Paul never made further request regarding his weakness to the Lord. But he strongly believed that he could do all things through Christ who strengthens him.
Never say you can’t do anything in life. But say boldly that you can do all things through the might and power of God. “I can do all things.”This statement represents the ultimate and ideal, consciousness of the Christian. The first thing needful, is to throw off mere self sufficiency and to know our weakness and accept God’s free grace in Christ Jesus. The next is to find the strength made perfect in our weakness and in that to be strong. “Through Christ which strengthens me.” The same word is used in the Bible saying, “Be strong, in the Lord and in the power of his might.”’ Paul once again says, “I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, that He considered me faithful, and appointed me to serve. ” Paul here emphasis the strength of God, infused in him and by this strength he is confident that he can do all things God expected him to do.
Just think of Joseph. He was thrown into a deep empty pit in the wilderness by his own brothers, because of jealousy. They decided to kill him. But suddenly they saw some merchants. So they pulled him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelite for twenty shekels of silver. They dipped his coat with the blood of goat and duped their father saying that some wild beast had devoured him. Therefore Jacob wept for Joseph. In Egypt Joseph was put in jail by Potiphar. All his brothers and even his father thought that he was dead. But God did not allow him to die. God was mindful of Joseph because he was blameless before God. Since he interpreted the dream of Pharaoh and saved Egypt from seven years of famine. Pharaoh set him over all the land of Egypt. Thus God exalted Joseph in the strange land. Joseph was precious in the sight of the Lord, so he honored and exalted him, before his brothers.
The vision given to Joseph by God came to pass. His brothers and his father who thought he was dead, came to Egypt to buy grain and found Joseph as the governor of Egypt. Yes, when the right time came, the victory of God descended upon him, majestically and he became the governor of the entire province of Egypt. Though the promise of God delayed Joseph waited patiently. Hence at the appointed time the promise of God was fulfilled. Therefore never lose heart. Trust in Jesus He will lift you higher. Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like the eagles.
Those of you who have grown weak, and tired and feel so insecure in life and feel so depressed, need to brush aside the feeling of weakness, and like Joseph wait upon God to strengthen you. God wants people like you. Because God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. Joseph was helpless but he never lost hope in God. He relied on God completely in that strange country. So God in turn filled him with wisdom, knowledge and good understanding to interpret the dream of Pharaoh. So he was exalted. Never think very low of yourself. Instead say “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Then you who were lagging behind will suddenly shoot up and gain recognition. And the Lord will surely exalt you in due season. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, we thank You for teaching us through this message that we need to be bold and strive to achieve our goal in life rather than cry over our weakness. Help us to rely on God. And never to lose our hope. Wait upon God to strengthen you. May we believe that the vision of God will come to pass in our life too.
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 Daniel 6-23 , “So Daniel was taken up out of the den. And no injury whatever was found on him because he believed in his God.”
Fom the above passage we learn that King Darius was sure that Daniel’s God would save him from the mouth of the lion. Though he was restless the whole night to have put Daniel in the Lion’s den, as per the law, yet deep in his heart there was a struggle, within him. He spent the night fasting. And no musicians were brought before him. He spoke to Daniel saying “ Your God whom you serve continually, He will deliver you.” The king knew that the living God of his servant Daniel was able to protect him. So early in the morning, when the King found Daniel alive in the lion’s den, he asked his men to take Daniel out of the den. His joy knew no bounds.
We see the power of God over the fiercest creatures, and believe his power to restrain the roaring lion that goes about continually seeking to devour. Yet Daniel was kept perfectly safe, because he believed in his God. Those who boldly and cheerfully trust in God to protect them in the way of duty, shall always find God as a present help. Thus the righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked comes in his stead.
Dxaniel was a noble Jewish youth of Jerusalem. He was taken into captivity by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. So Daniel was a refugee. Although Daniel was a captive in the land of Babylon, he was not ashamed of his relationship with his God. He did not have any sort of inferiority complex in him. He was bold to stand for God and his faith. He was a man of prayer. Therefore God raised Daniel to a high office by his royal master Darius. Those who suffer from inferiority complex display faithlessness. They seem to have lost all hope in themselves. They may even say, “Look I cannot do anything.” I can never be successful. I will never achieve anything in life.” You should never have the attitude of inferiority complex in you, It will suppress you and then you can never shine in your life.
Many children due to inferiority complex fail to dress well. They think they need to show their humbleness only by being poorly clad. This is not what God expects of you. God wants you to look majestic. The Bible says, “Put on the garment of humbleness.” Humbleness is revealed from the heart and not through dressing. Many show their humbleness through their code of dressing but in their heart they are proud. “God resists the proud. But gives grace to the humble.”Daniel was humble in nature. Though he was a slave he humbled himself, before God. He was never proud even though he was well placed, and held a high office in Babylon.
If we live in the fear of God, and walk according to that rule, peace shall be upon us. We should never lose our hope and faith in God. Neither should we have the quality of inferiority complex. It will only ruin our progress in life. It will keep us backward and prevent us from going forward in life. The kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever, are the Lord’s; and we are his redeemed children. We represent Him therefore we need to be bold in Him. Be strong in Him. May we be doers, as well as believers of His word, If not we shall find to have deceived ourselves. So may God give you the grace to analyse for yourself and get rid of inferiority complex. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord we thank You for teaching us through this message that we should not have inferiority complex in us. Remove such an attitude from us and help us to be bold and majestic before others. May we learn to be humble and not proud. Help us to show humbleness in heart through our action. Exalt us like Daniel.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
