My Dear Brother and Sister 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 Mark 5:22-24.”My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed and she will live.”
My Dear Brother And Sister, from the above context we learn that Jairus, the father of the little girl was a servant of God. He believed that if Jesus will come to his house and touch his daughter then she will be healed and will receive life again. He believed that Jesus had power to give life to his daughter, so he pleads the Lord to come to his house and touch his daughter. The father did not want his daughter to die of illness. She was a small and tender girl of twelve years. So he fell at the feet of Jesus and begged the Lord Jesus to come to his house and touch his daughter. The sorrow of his countenance caused Jesus to sympathise with him.
My Dear Brother And Sister, Therefore Jesus accepted his invitation and walked towards his house. On their way they got the bad news that the girl was dead. But Jesus looked at the father and said, “ Just believe. Your child will survive.” When they reached the house many people were gathered there. They were all crying and wailing over the death of the little girl. The entire town was immersed in deep sorrow. Jesus sent everyone away from that place and he went near the girl and uttered saying, “Talitha Cumi,” This word means, ‘Little girl, I say to you, arise.” The next moment the little girl arose to life. Hallelujah! In a moment Jesus brought life into the little girl. She who was lying dead, arose and sat on her bed. Jesus then handed the little girl to her parents who were much distressed. God changed all their sorrow into joy.
My Dear Brother And Sister, All those who were distressed became joyful on seeing the girl back to life. There was great rejoicing in the house of Jairus. God will also make your sorrow turn into joy. Are you suffering from such dead situation, saying nothing good is happening in your life. All your effort has turned out to be a disaster, or a failure. You seem to be vexed with your life. You seem to have been stricken in sorrow and pain like Jairus and his household. Well I wish to tell all those of you who are reading this message with great expectation saying, “ Will not something good happen in my life. How long will I struggle in life. I feel so ashamed because I am barren, I have no child to fondle. All the people talk bad about me.” Or you may be unemployed looking out for a job, or you may be getting older and you are unable to settle in life. You are unable to secure a life partner. Well do not be dismayed or discouraged. Just Believe like Jairus. God will awaken all the dead situation in your life. God will grant you the desires of your heart. He will grant you the gift of a child and you will be able to embrace and fondle your child proudly in your arms. You will secure a good job with a good package. God will lift you up. For He lifts the poor out of the dung hill and sets him high to be seated, along with the princess. He will offer you a good life partner and help you settle in life. All things are possible to them that believe In His name. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, we thank you for healing the girl and bringing her back to life. Likewise awaken all our dead situation to life and grant us our hearts desire. May we have faith like Jairus, who invited Jesus to his house. Help us also to invite Jesus into our houses and be blessed. Let every disabled situation in our life be rejuvenated, by the power of God. That we may shine in life.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. As Children of God we need to give priority to God. We need to glorify God because He has granted favour before men and other people. Give God the first place in your life. If you give first place to God in your life, then God will give you the first place in His Heart. Especially the youngsters should seek the Lord while they are young. They should give the first place to God in their life. Ecclesiastes 12:1 says, “Remember now your creator in the days, of your youth. Before the difficult days come, and the years draw near when you say, I have no pleasure in them. ’Also we read in Psalm 119:9 “How can a man cleanse his ways? By taking heed to God’s word”.
When you give importance to God in your life then surely as per Proverbs 22:29 God will make you stand before kings. They shall not stand before mean men. Only when we give our priority to God, we will acquire a good portion of inheritance in our life. God must be our wealth and we should give the first place to God in our lives. Only then God will bless us.
Some might be expecting a seat in a good college, a good life partner from a good family, and a job in a good company. If you want all these things to happen in your life, then you should submit your life in the hands of the creator who will act for you. When you give a portion of your life to God then God will give you a portion of His blessing. God will break all the barriers that obstruct you from achieving your portion and will grant you the best portion. Not ruined places but place of prosperity. Since you are waiting for such a glorious period of life, the Lord will bless you and grant you the desires of your heart. He is a God who gives wonderful things. When God gives you the best portion in your life then you will live in peace, harmony and freedom.
May be until now you have not achieved anything wonderful in life, but hereafter, you will achieve wonderful things in your life. God will bless you with a permanent job. Some will acquire excellent business. They will rise up high and mount up as eagles; they will prosper and flourish like the palm trees they will grow like cedar in Lebanon as promised in Psalm 92:12. You will work in excellent dwellings with peace and great freedom.
God bless you
Prayer :
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for your unfailing love and care. We thank you for the favor you have shown in the midst of men and people. Thank you Lord for giving to us all that is necessary for our lives. Unto your name we give all the glory and honor for your truths sake. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen
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, Psalms 23:5, “You prepare a table before me, in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we know that God wants to bless His children and so as prophesy He says, “All those who have despised or humiliated you will be punished by God. And in front of those who despised you, God will prepare a table and honour you. God will honour and anoint you also before them. Halleluiah.!
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, There was a man called Haman who opposed Mordecai, But God prepared a table for Mordecai before his enemy. King Ahasureus calls Haman and says, What shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart that the king wanted to honor him as there was no better person beside him. And Haman answered the king saying, “For the man whom the king delights to honour let a royal, robe be brought which the king has worn, and a horse on which the king has ridden which has a royal, crest placed on its head. Then let the kings most noble princes put on the robe and ride him over the horse back through the city square, and proclaim before him. Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Haman thought that the king was going to mention his name and so he was very anxious, but the king said to Haman take the robe and the horse as you have suggested and do so for Mordecai, the Jew who sits within the kings gate. Leave nothing undone. Of all that you have spoken. This shows that God had prepared a table for Mordecai before his enemy Haman. Actually Haman had prepared a gallows to hang him. The Lord turned his plan upside down and humiliated him. Mordecai who sat outside the kings gate was brought inside the palace, and Haman was hanged on the gallows he had built to hang Mordecai. He was taken by his own craftiness. Even the people who came against the Jews and Mordecai, turned in favour of him.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, How are you before the Lord ? Are you righteous? Do you make an effort to seek God every day, or are you running after the world? The Bible says, The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. The righteous are never shaken. And so was Mordecai the Jew. Though so poor yet he was righteous before God, Therefore God honoured him in the kings palace. God will honour you also in the similar way if you remain true to Him. For an Honest man abounds with blessing. Surely the Lord God will help you. There may be a Haman, causing trouble in your life too. But the Lord will stand with you and strengthen you. Though poor and needy the Lord will think upon you. He will never fail you. For the Lord preserves the faithful, so be of good courage. Sanctify yourself today and the Lord will perform a miracle tomorrow. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you for teaching us not to be proud, but to be humble like Mordecai. Help us to be righteous. Teach us to seek God each day of our life. May God cause His face to shine on us and honour us.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, 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 Numbers 24: 5-6 , ”How lovely are your tents, O Jacob, Your Dwellings, O Israel. Like Valleys that stretch out Like gardens by the river side, Like Aloes planted by the Lord, Like Cedars beside the waters.””
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we understand that Balaam was delighted to see the tents of the Israelites all arranged according to their tribes and neatly set up in order pitched in the plains of Moab. He breaks forth into admiration of their beautiful order as they lay ranged under their several standards. They look like gardens pleasant and fruitful and secured by a fence. Like a sweet smelling trees in a garden yielding shade and shelter to man and beast. The tents are temporary living quarters while dwelling implies a permanent living space.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Prophet Balaam was hired to curse Israel. Balak the King of Moab said to Balaam, “ I know that whomever you bless is blessed. And whomever you curse is cursed.” He called upon the services of Balaam, who had a reputation for powerful, divining. Balak wanted to put a curse upon the Israelites so as to overpower them and drive them out of Egypt. But God said to Balaam, “ You shall not go with them, you shall not curse the people for they are blessed. ” When Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, He raised his eyes and saw Israel, encamped according to their tribes. And the spirit of God came upon him and uttered words of praise over Israel. “How lovely are your tents O Jacob. Your Dwellings O Israel, Like Valleys, that stretch out like gardens by the river side. Like Aloes planted by the Lord. Like Cedars beside the waters.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, “ The episode of the defeat of the counsels of Balak and Balaam against Israel, was not by might nor by power but by the spirit of the Lord of Hosts. The Bible says, “The Lord your God turned the curse into a blessing for you because the Lord your God loves you.” The Dwellings refer to the house in which you live. God is keen in blessing you and your family. He wants to bless your house with all good things. If you allow Jesus to enter into your house then your dwellings will be lovely like Cedars beside the waters. And like aloes planted by the Lord. He wants to decorate your house with all good things. Peace, joy, happiness, good health, wealth and prosperity. God says, “The generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and Riches will be in his house and his descendants will be mighty on earth.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Are you interested in acquiring these blessings, Do you want to live in a house like gardens, by the river side. Then you need to fear the Lord, and walk uprightly, for the faithful man abounds with blessings. The blessings of the Lord makes one rich and does not cause sorrow. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving Heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for turning our curse into a blessing. Help us to live in houses that are like well watered garden. May we fear the Lord at all times and walk uprightly to inherit His blessings. Help us to be like sweet smelling trees that spreads the fragrance of Christ in our lives. May we be a channel of blessing to others.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our God, who created and formed us and who never ever forgets us. The blessed word that God has given for you, today is from the book of 2 Chronicles 7:14, ” If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. ”
From the above context we see how God is pleased with those that humble themselves. He always makes a condition, before He executes His plan and purpose for us in our lives. He says, “If His people will humble themselves, and pray and seek the face of God then He will hear their prayer from heaven and heal their land and bless them.” The Bible says, they that humble themselves shall be exalted.” For God gives grace to the humble.” When God is pleased with you then His eyes will be open and His ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. He is ever willing to hear your prayer from heaven. After Solomon dedicated the temple, the Lord appeared to him and gave him some reassurances. “The Lord appeared to him at night and said: ‘I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a temple for sacrifices.’ When there is no rain, or when locusts come to devour the land or if there is a plague among my people, “’ then if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land” This is the promise given to the people of God.
All the blessings of this world are condensed in this single word, Heal or Restore.” Yes God wants to heal and restore your land, your property, your job, your business, your family, your children who are unruly and disobedient. God wants to heal them all. But you need to humble yourself before this mighty God. Be honest in all that you do. Then God will be pleased with you and bless you. You might have seen elderly people bless the younger couples during the time of their marriage. Or any young people being blessed by elders. “Blessing” is very important. And to be blessed by God is all the more important. To whom will God bestow His blessings? He will bless those who humble themselves. God had entered into a covenant with Israel and promised to take care of them and cause them to prosper as long as they obeyed Him. Because of the covenant relationship, there was a direct correspondence between their obedience and their prosperity. This implies to us also. If we obey His ordinances then we too like the Israelites will be blessed.
While Jesus lived in this world, he told his disciples, a parable. Jesus told this parable: to his disciples to show them the importance of being humble. “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood near the altar, by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people, like the robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give one tenth of all I get. ’He boasted about himself, before God. “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He did not even come near the altar of God. He thought he was unworthy, to come before God. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt they will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
God is not looking at how much money or offering you give unto the Lord. He looks how willingly you give Him. How generous you are. We have heard some parents say, “Look my son bought this shirt for me.” or my daughter bought this dress for me.” Parents may be rich, they have abundance of clothes to wear. Yet when their daughter or son purchase a dress for them they become so excited and happy, they go about telling what their children have done for them. So is God, when you offer Him from the abundance of your heart, God is pleased with you. Therefore humble yourselves before God. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You, for this blessed day. Lord, we are thankful to You for hearing our humble prayer. Have mercy on us and be gracious to us. Forgive us of our sins and heal our land. May our land bring forth its yield. Teach us to obey your condition that we should, humble ourselves, and seek Your face and turn from our wicked ways. Help us to walk according to your expectation.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
