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 Luke 1:50, “And His mercy is upon generation after generation, toward those who fear Him.”
From the above context we understand that the mercy of God is upon generation after generation, toward those who fear Him. God wants to be merciful to you, but you need to make an effort to change your behaviour according to the desire of God.
Many of you are reading this message with a hope of receiving a miracle from God. Miracle will happen based on the change you make in your mind. Change of mind is very essential for you to receive a miracle from God. While preparing this message and when I happened to meditate upon this particular verse, an incident that took place in our Prayer Tower came to my mind, and I wish to share this to the readers so that you will know how important it is to have a change in the mind.
Some days back a young man came up to me in tears saying, he had come hiding from the police, who were chasing after him. “I said to him “But why did you come to the Prayer Tower, the Police will come here for inquiry and we will be in trouble.”But he cried bitterly saying if only a change comes in the mind of my wife all things will be fine. He continued speaking, that he was a drunkard before marriage, but not knowing this, he was given in marriage to a good girl from a good family. And his wife came to know about his bad habit, few days after his marriage. And on one such occasion he had come home drunk and as a result a quarrel broke between husband and wife and because she spurned at him he hit her with a vase which caused bleeding from the head, and she left to her father’s house. Her family launched an FIR against her husband and her husband’s family charged him of murder attempt. So this young man took an auto and under the advice of his mother approached me for help and prayer.
I prayed to the Lord asking for His guidance regarding this issue. And the Lord clearly spoke to me, asking me to go and meet his wife in person and talk to her, on behalf of this young man. Therefore taking their address I went to her house that same night. By then her brother from Dubai had flown to Chennai, owing to this matter and make a decision whether she should continue with him, a bad drunkard. When I knocked her door, she came to receive me and was very shocked to see me. She said. “Uncle how is it that you have come to our home at this point of time.” I said to her that I had come in need of her help and only she could help in solving my problem. Her parents including her brother said that they were ready to help me in whatever measure they could help in order to solve my problem. And immediately she said, “Uncle you are praying for thousands of people. You shouldn’t cry. I am willing to do anything that you ask for.” Then with tears in my eyes I asked her to cancel the case registered against her husband and his family and forgive him for his wrong doings and accept him once again and live with him. I told her about her husband’s visit to the Tower Of Refuge, and his confession that he wouldn’t drink again and would not cause further trouble to her instead he would keep her in good state.
The girl responded to my request and said, “ Uncle I will live with him, because You are a Prophet and You will surely say the right thing for me. Since You have asked, I shall cancel the case registered against my husband and his family.”The lawyer caused some problem but I told him that he should support the couple to join and not cause further commotion. Her brother wisely dealt the matter and sent him away. All seemed to be happy and peace prevailed in their house, I prayed for them and returned. Today the couple are happy living together. They attend all our meetings and he carries his two children and takes good care of his wife. Thus we see that a change came upon his wife. And the whole matter was solved amicably.
As a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him. The young man repented of his sin and confessed that he wouldn’t commit sin again. Therefore God took pity on him and reunited his family. This was the miracle he expected when he came to the “ Tower of Refuge.”God answered his prayer. Yes, God comforts his children, as one whom his mother comforts. Further God says, I will have mercy on whomever, I will have mercy and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion. May this message help you to attain the mercy and compassion of God just as the young man who received God’s blessing.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord teach us to make a change in our mind so as to walk in Your steps. Help us to listen to the voice of God and repent of our sins and never to repeat it again. We seek Your mercy and compassion Oh Lord. Enable us to be humble before God. And receive favour in the sight of God and man.
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 Isaiah 60:2. “But the Lord will arise over you. And His Glory will be seen upon You.”
From the above context we learn that when the Glory of the Lord descends upon a person, then even if you are in the dark you will begin to shine. You will arise and shine. Until yesterday, you have been saying, “I have been of no use to anybody. What is the use of living in this world? There is no meaning in my life.” I see in my spirit, that many of you reading this message are in a confused state of mind. You are so broken hearted and dejected in life. But the Lord is saying there is meaning in your life. Your life is going to be of great benefit to others. Therefore you need to live. Looking at your current situation never come to a conclusion that your life is useless.
God will help you to shine in the days to come. Then you will be like a city situated on the hill top. Because when the glory of the Lord will shine upon you, before others, all will behold, the glory of God, then you shall be lifted up. For every one shall be able to see the city that is set upon a hill top, which cannot be hid from the human eye. We may not be able to see someone, who is fallen in a deep pit, because it may be surrounded by high walls, or compounds. But when one is set on a hill top, you can easily be noticed, by everyone. May be until this day you had been a hidden agenda. You may have not been known by others. But in the future, you will be placed in an elevated position.
God has made an account of all your good works, that you had done unnoticed by others, and in the appointed time, God will exalt you, and honour you, before others. Joseph was a slave in the house of Potiphar. He was imprisoned in the jail for no fault of his. While in custody, both the baker and the butler had dreams. And they turned to Joseph for interpretation. The butler was told by Joseph that his dream portends his release. The baker, on the other hand, was told of his execution by hanging in three days time. Though he interpreted the dreams of the baker and the butler, they had forgotten the good deed he had done for them. But a day came and the life of Joseph changed totally. And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Since he interpreted the dream of Pharaoh, he was honoured. Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck. He made him ride in a chariot as his second-in-command, and people shouted before him, “Make way !” Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt. This is how God exalts a person who fears the Lord God and waits upon God sincerely.
So never think your life is a waste. God can set you upon the hill for everyone to see and you shall shine, when the Glory of God, descends over you. All you need to do is to wait upon the Lord. The Bible 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.” People would have all forgotten your good works that you had done for them, out of sincerity. But God is not unrighteous to forget your good works. God will silently keep watching, you and all of a sudden while you are unaware God will lift you up. Hallelujah! God is committed to honour your good works. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Let the Glory of God descend upon us. And help us to shine in our lives. Help us to wait upon the Lord and never murmur about the conditions of our life. Teach us to believe that God will someday exalt us if we wait upon Him. Bless us, Oh Lord that we may excel in our lives.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen
Dearly Beloved, 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 Ephesians 4:31,32 , “ Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
From the above context we come to know how important it is to forgive others. Forgiveness matters. Without forgiveness in our world of relationship, life would actually become unbearable: Forgiveness is particularly important for believers in Christ. That’s because believers are forgiven people. In these verses in Ephesians, the apostle Paul says that believers should forgive, as God has forgiven us. But forgiveness isn’t always easy. It’s particularly hard when the hurt is big, or when the person who caused the hurt refuses to acknowledge what they’ve done. We need to understand why forgiveness matters. When we do, we can see that forgiveness is not only possible for believers, it is also incredibly powerful for our lives and relationships.
The above verse refers to many kinds of sin, such as anger, rage, brawling and slander. But all these emotional nature of man is the outcome of bitterness. The Cure for bitterness is a Heavenly Vision. I wish to narrate the story of the blind songwriter Fanny Crosby who wrote more than 8,000 songs. When Fanny was just 6 weeks old a minor eye inflammation developed and the doctor who treated her was a quack and the potion (drink) that he prescribed resulted in her becoming totally and permanently blind! There was every reason for her to hoard bitterness against this doctor, But this Spirit filled woman harboured no bitterness against the physician and she said, “If I could only meet the doctor, I would say, “Thank you, over and over again for making me blind.” This may seem foolish. But Fanny Crosby considered her blindness to be a gift from God to help her write the 8000 hymns that flowed so freely from her pen.
Bitterness reflects a brooding grudge, filled attitude, an unwillingness to forgive or a harsh feeling. Bitterness is the opposite of sweetness and kindness. Only the attitude of Love finds a way to cover a multitude of sins. Apostle Peter, says, “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins”. When Bitterness is removed from your heart then you will easily control anger, rage, brawling and slander.
Those of you who are reading this message may be suffering from bitterness against someone? Are you not able to forgive your foes? May be you were kind and helpful to others, but they did not understand you. You might have trusted your loved ones but they have cheated you. They might have slandered against you. Forgive them. God will be pleased with you. I see in my spirit some sisters suffering in your parent’s house just because your husband has deserted you. It pains to think that your parents had spent so much to get you married but now you are struck with grief and sorrow and loneliness right in your parent’s house. God is aware of your struggles. Try to forgive your husband. Pray for his salvation the Lord will open his eyes to understand how good you had been to him. Forgive your in-laws who were the cause for your separation. The Lord will magnify you. God will visit you in your affliction as He visited Hagar in the wilderness. Believe in God Almighty and you shall see the glory of God. God Bless You.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Father, forgive us of any bitterness that we have harboured in our heart against others. Thank You that we have been forgiven by grace through faith in Christ. Help us to live our life acceptable unto God. And help us to be slow to anger, quick to forgive and abounding in steadfast love, kindness, compassion and forgiveness. Teach us to live for the glory of Jesus Christ.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved, 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 Psalms 107:9 “For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.”
It is God who puts hunger in our heart. And when that man or woman is hungry and thirsty and aches for peace with God -they are satisfied. But it is also God who instils a deep hunger in the heart of the Christian, to know that unknown God, like Paul. And when they cry out saying, “that I may know God and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings. ” Then God reveals Himself to them, as He revealed to Paul on the way to Damascus. And the one who has been saved by grace through faith begins to learn that salvation is rebirth into the family of God, and it is also a long and difficult journey through life. And God is proved to be faithful to them once again. They discover that this life is a day by day journey, where they have sweet fellowship with the Father and the Lord Jesus becomes more real to them, and so much precious, than on the day they first believed. Thus God satisfies their longing soul.
The Bible says, “Blessed are they that seek the Lord with their whole heart, and those that seek Him with their whole heart discover over a period of time, that He is indeed the one that satisfies the thirsty soul, and calms the troubled breast. Christ alone is the living water of life and those who know Him discover Him to be a well of refreshing water that springs up into everlasting life. The one who yearns for the fullness of Christ is satisfied. The one, who pants, like the exhausted deer, for the refreshing water-pool in the midst of a dry and dusty desert is satisfied. The one who cries out, “My soul thirsts for the Lord. My soul craves for the living God, Such a person has satisfied his thirsty soul, and his hungering heart, He has been filled with many good things.
Many of you who are reading this message are longing for various things in this life. You may need a good job, a good life partner, a successful business. Whatever your need may be, when you thirst to know more about Jesus, your needs then will be satisfied. May be until now you have not received the desire of your heart but soon God will satisfy your longing soul. The Bible says, “For He satisfies the longing soul and the hungry soul He fills with good things.” God will undo all kinds of barriers that prevent you from receiving your blessing. Everyone desires to prosper in this world. The Bible says, King Uzziah sought God during the days of Zechariah, who taught him to fear God. And as long as the king sought guidance from the LORD, God gave him success. King Asa said “ We have sought the Lord , and He has given us peace on every side.” He built fortified cities in Judah and prospered. When you seek the Lord you will prosper.
Dearly Beloved, David behaved wisely in all his ways, and David became greater and greater, for the Lord the God of Hosts was with him. If God is with you things will change. You shall be blessed with all good things. You will get a good job, a good life partner, and you shall be blessed with a child, for which you had been waiting for many years. God will open new doors for your business. In case someone has done some witchcraft against you, and hindered you from receiving your blessing the Lord will intervene today and He will drive away, every form of witch craft and sorcery from you and your family. God will put a hedge of protection and cause you to be victorious. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord our soul longs for You in a world of disappointment and distress. Help us to have close contact and more intimate fellowship with You. Thank You that You have satisfied our lost soul with Your saving grace so that we have peace with You. Let the peace of God reign in our heart. May we grow in grace and be satisfied with all good things.
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 Psalm 34:19 “Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But the Lord delivers him out of them all”.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous. This means that those who wish to be righteous will have to undergo trials and temptations like Jesus. Scripture does not give us the idea that goodness will secure us from trouble; on the contrary, we are again and again warned to expect tribulation while we are in this body, if we live for Jesus. Our afflictions come from all corners, and are tormenting and painful. We will find thorns and briars growing in our pathway, yea, to lie down among them, and our rest will be disturbed, and broken by sorrow and grief. But be comforted for the Lord delivers him out of them all.
Through troops of ills, difficulties, and struggles the Lord Jehovah shall lead his redeemed children unhurt and triumphant. There is an end to the believer’s affliction and a joyful end too. None of his trials can hurt so much as a hair of his head; neither can the furnace hold him for a moment after the Lord brings an end, and bids him come out of it. The same Lord who sends the afflictions will also recall them when his plan is accomplished, but He will never allow the fiercest of them to rend and devour his beloved. The Bible says, “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears. And delivers them out of all their troubles.”
We read in the Bible thatthe king of Syria, wasmaking war against Israel.SoProphet Elisha, warned the king of Israel, to be watchful and not to pass that place because the Syrian king was about to attack him. Therefore the king of Israel was saved. When Elisha’s servant went out the next morning and saw the army, which had surrounded the town in the night, he became afraid of the large army and said, “Alas, my lord, how shall we do?” But Elisha quieted him, saying, “Fear not, for those with us are more than those with them.” He then prayed that the Lord might open the eyes of his servant. As a result his servant saw the mountain upon which the town of Dothan stood full of fiery horses and chariots round about Elisha. The fiery horses and chariots were symbols of the protecting powers of Heaven, which surrounded the prophet. This incident shows How God delivers, the Righteous.
David too, always looked unto God like Elisha, and found that alone with God he was stronger than all against him. Therefore, respecting his afflictions he cries out in this psalm, many are the troubles of the righteous; but The Lord delivers him out of all. Thus, by his own wisdom David measures the condition of the righteous, and says, many are the troubles of the righteous; and, he shows how they should be healed, saying, The Lord will deliver him out of them all. The lawyer can deliver his client from strife, the physician can deliver his patient from sickness, the master can deliver his servant from bondage, but the Lord delivers us from all.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Strengthen us when we are weak and give us the courage to face the problems boldly. Lord we thank you for delivering us from our afflictions. Teach us to acknowledge You as our Lord and Saviour. Help us to trust in God like David, and Job. May we be able to endure sufferings like Jacob.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
