Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that Lord has given me to bless you today is from the book of Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”. In order to avoid death and condemnation from God, you need to keep yourself away from all sins. King David says, in Psalm 51:5, “Behold I was brought forth in iniquity and in sin my mother conceived me.” Being conceived in sin, King David asks God to cleanse him from all his sinful nature. He says, ‘Lord purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean’.
To get out of the bondage of sin, you must first arise from your situation. The Lord is asking the sinners to come out of their sinful life. The Lord has given unto you the strength to overcome the power of the satan. When you do something wrong, you must repent for what you did and ask the Lord for forgiveness. The Lord will forgive you. After asking for forgiveness, you must not commit the same mistake again. Jesus loves you. Submit yourself unto the Lord and sin no more. He does not want anyone to fall into the trap of sin and perish. He wants you to lead a righteous life and set an example to others.
The Lord says, in Isaiah 1:18, “Though your sins are like scarlet. They shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool”. Our God is a God of forgiveness. He is ready to forgive our sins and trespasses, if we submit ourselves to Him. Christ died for our sins on the cross so that we may be set free. Colossians 2:14,15 says, “Jesus Christ took away all the power of satan on the cross. Jesus nailed all our sins on the cross. He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.”
Do not get yourself entangled in sinful activities. Repent for your sins and the Lord will deliver you from all the evil forces.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. I pray that You may give strength to Your children to come out of their sinful life. Father, please forgive their sins and remember their sins no more. Let them enjoy Your mercy and grace. Fill their hearts with Your love. 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 you for today is from the book of Matthews 25:21. His Lord said to him, “Well done good and faithful servant, you were faithful over a few things I will make you a ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.”
In this context we see that the master was going on a long journey so he gave talents to each of his servant, according to his own ability. And when He came back He asked them what they had done with their talents. The one who received five talents said that he had gained five more talents. The one who received two talents said, he had gained two more talents besides them. But the one who received one talent said,“ ‘Master, ’I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.” His master was very much displeased with his servant, so he said, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest”
His Lord appreciated his other servants who made good profit of the talents given to them. So said unto his servant, well done, My good and faithful servant, you have done well. You know that you cannot do anything by yourself, without the help of God. For you know you can do nothing well of your selves, and when you have done all you can, you acknowledge that all you do is owing to the grace of God. You are a good and faithful servant: who have the grace of God implanted in you, You have begun a good work and possess good qualities, and abilities, without which you can never be good servants to your master. You have been faithful over a few things: so the master said, “I will make you ruler over many things.”
Confidence in an unfaithful man is painful and vexatious; for when we put any stress on him, he not only fails, but makes us suffer because of it. A faithful servant by serving his master to the expectation of his master and to the best of his capacity, gains confidence of his master, such that his Master entrusts him with bigger opportunities that needs greater responsibility, for the master is now, confident that his servant is capable of doing the given task perfectly. While we observe the shepherd boy David we see his faithfulness in tending his father’s sheep. David refers to integrity and uprightness as the attributes that will preserve him. And David exhibited both integrity and uprightness that is necessary for a good servant. His enemies were trying to discredit him, but the Lord knew David was righteous. David certainly could trust the Lord to do what was right and keep him safe. David states that he was waiting on the Lord. The word “wait” indicates that David was trustfully expecting the Lord to fulfil His promises, to make a great name for David, to give him rest from his enemies, to give him a heritage, and to establish his kingdom forever. This should be the attitude of every servant who will be willing to wait on the Lord their Master and gain a good portion of reward.
The parable of the talents though it speaks about the kingdom of heaven, but it offers an important lesson about success. God measures our success not by what we have, but by what we do with what we have-for all that we have is a gift from Him. We are really only managers to whom He has entrusted resources and responsibilities. The key thing, He looks for is faithfulness doing what we can to obey and honour Him with whatever He has given us. We may or may not be “successful” as our culture measures success, in terms of wealth, prestige, power, or fame. In the long run that hardly matters. What counts is whether we have faithfully served God with what He has entrusted to us.
From the above passage we learn that if you wish to lead a happy family life, or do your ministry effectively and peacefully, or work efficiently at your work spot, or do well in your studies, or prosper in any profession, then God expects something important from you. You need to be honest in few things that God has entrusted to you. If you are found faithful in few things then God will make you ruler over many things. May the Lord help you to be wise and serve faithfully. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for telling us through this message that we need to be honest and sincere in all that we do. Help us to be like those servants who invested their talents and made a good profit. Give us the wisdom and understanding to serve those in authority with reverence and diligence.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
My 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 Proverbs 13:23, “ Much Food Is In the Fallow Ground Of The Poor. And For Lack Of Justice there is waste.”
From the above words we learn that hard work brings profit, but it can be lost by foolish decisions. The poor may labour hard at farming, with much increase from their Creator. Their focused labour on a small plot of land bears good reward for their table. But other poor men, because of their foolishness, may squander greater gain by following foolish schemes that take it away. Tillage is the tilling and cultivating of ground for raising crops. Farming was the first and basic profession in the world. Farming depends directly on God’s blessing; seeds are placed in the ground to wait for His increase. And God does give increase!
My dearly beloved, want of judgment is the lack of good sense. Some farmers listening to vain persons and their schemes get entangled in troubles. It is a lack of discretion and prudent management. It is the rejection of critical thinking and cautious pessimism. It is wishful thinking instead, trusting more in hopes and dreams than careful analysis. The farmers fall into debts and other financial deficit. Want of judgment is hasty decisions, poor choices, lack of foresight, and risky presumption. It believes everything it hears. It is the dream that there are shortcuts that can lead to wealth, though the wealthiest, man King Solomon, denies the idea.
This proverb deals with poor farmers. They have plenty of food, for they labour at a godly trade day after day, year after year. But there are other men who may not even have enough to eat. What happened? They gave away their increase by foolish decisions. The lesson here is the value of hard work and the importance of wise financial management. Hard work is an easy lesson. Diligent labour at a useful service will bring results, especially in a needed industry like farming.
Dearly beloved, how do you carry out your farming or your business? How do you work at your work spot? Are you skilful, smart and capable at work or do you feel lazy and lethargic with your work? If you are slow and incapable then how can you expect any profit? All you need is discretion, prudence, wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. And a man must have much of it, to avoid the vain ideas that will steal his productive labour and leave him financially poor. Only strong men, those with good judgment, retain riches. Many men want to be rich, so they are vulnerable to get-rich-quick schemes. If someone offers them “their own business,” they gladly pay the promoter and sign up. But later they will, know that they have done this without any profit, and they realize that they had lost much of their time rather they could have been tilling! The Bible says, “ He who tills His land will be satisfied.”And he who gathers by labour will increase.” May the Lord help you in your endeavour to strive and to achieve. God Bless You.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, thank you for teaching us that we need to work hard for our living. Help us to realize how important farming is and teach us to help the farmers who till the land, grow crops and satisfy the needs of the citizens. May the farmers have proper discretion, wisdom and understanding to execute their operation or mission successfully.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen
Dearly Beloved, I greet and bless everyone in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The blessed word that God has given you for today is from the book of Psalms-33:9, ”He Spoke and it was done. He commanded and it stood fast.”
From the above context we learn that 2000 years ago while Jesus was preaching the Gospel along with His disciples, He spoke small words but performed great miracles. Even today when God speaks few words, to us through the Holy Spirit, then miracles that never happened all these years in your life, will suddenly begin to happen. Hallelujah! When God brings certain matters, in the midst of us, then He will also execute commandments for us to obey. May be all these days, nothing good had happened but from today the Lord is sanctioning, all your petitions, for you to be blessed.
If God speaks one small word through His mouth, great things will happen in your life as there is great power in His word. When we contemplate the true power of God’s words, we cannot doubt Him? But believe Him and His promises. We see that God spoke words and made our universe. God’s words will never pass away. “Heaven and earth will pass away, but God’s words will never pass away.” The Bible says, “All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of the Lord stands forever.”So we see that God’s words are so powerful. When God speaks a word over your life and you listen through your ears, then you need to understand that the Lord has come into your hearts, through His word. When the Lord comes inside of you then there can be no lacking in you. You shall lack nothing. All the blessings are in His Hands.
2000 years ago, there was a loyal centurion. He was a man of great influence and had power to extract work from his subordinates. He was a man of great authority. But in spite of all these qualities, he couldn’t heal his servant whom he loved much and cared for. His servant was seriously ill and was at the verge of death. He decided to approach Jesus for he believed that Jesus would surely heal his servant. Firstly he consults with the headmen of Jesus, if they could bring Jesus to his house. So they reported the matter to Jesus. They also informed Him that he had built a church for them. On hearing all about the centurion, Jesus followed his disciples to the centurion’s house.
Then the Centurion thought that he was not worthy to receive Jesus into his house or meet Him personally. He felt he was not eligible, to meet such a great person. So he sends word to Jesus through one of his servant that If Jesus spoke one word from the same place where He was, his servant would be healed. Hearing this Jesus said, “I have not seen such faith even in Israel.”How much faith do you have in Jesus ? If Jesus spoke one word over your life, then all your problems will be solved. Your sickness will disappear. Your debts will be cleared. You shall be blessed with a child. You will get a good government Job. Your children will get settled. God Bless You.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, thank you for teaching us through this message that we need to have faith in God. And to believe His word which is powerful. For the Lord spoke and it was done. He commanded and it stood fast. Help us to realize the value of God’s word and cherish it for our benefit.
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 55:11, “ So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. ”
From the above context we come to understand that through this verse God speaks lovingly and truthfully to His people. He desires that you come to Him and be restored back into His grace and favour. The Lord offers all those who are weary, heavy- laden, hungry and in need of refreshment to come to Him and taste of His gracious provision. He calls you to come freely to the great table of blessing, He has prepared for you. If only you would listen to His voice and listen to His Word, you would have all that you need for life and godliness. The Lord is ready and willing to save you from your sins. He is slow to anger and plenteous in mercy. But you must listen to His voice, hear His word, partake of what is good, and delight your soul in the abundance of His blessings.
Man’s perspective is so limited. Therefore, it would be unwise to ignore God’s instruction. It would be dangerous to disobey His Word of truth and His offer of blessings. It would be prideful of us to follow our own imperfect imaginations instead of relying on the wisdom of God. For God says, “My Word, which goes forth from My mouth, will not return to Me empty.” “My Word will not go out without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.”The Bible says, All authority has been given unto Me both in heaven and on earth. “When God utters a WORD, miracles will happen. Halleluiah!
For with God nothing will be impossible. Now a certain man was sick: Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. Jesus said to his disciples, “Our Friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.”Now Bethany was near Jerusalem. Many women who saw Jesus stood crying and some were saying” Could not this man who opened the eyes of the blind also have kept this man (Lazarus) from dying? Jesus came to the tomb, It was a cave and a stone was laid over the cave. Jesus took pity on the sisters, Mary and Martha, and with a loud voice Jesus Cried out “ Lazarus , come forth.”’ And Lazarus who was dead and buried and was in the tomb for four days, came out, bound hand and foot with grave clothes.” All the people including the Pharisees and the multitude marvelled at the resurrection of Lazarus. Jesus spoke words that had power and authority that raised Lazarus from the grave. Therefore If you believe you shall see the glory of God. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you for Your Word. Thank You that the Scriptures will not return to You void, but will accomplish all that You have determined. Thank You Lord for Your plan of salvation, and for the forgiveness of sin by trusting in Jesus. Stir up our faith and kindle afresh the gifts in us, knowing that the time is short. Renew our desire to share the Truth with all those who are lost in this world, and help us to bring them to faith in Christ.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
