Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all on this October 1st through this Auspicious word.
What is the Auspicious word for us today? Psalm 92:14 says, “They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing.”
It begins with the word “they.” Who are “they”? If you look at verse 13 of the same Psalm, it says, “Those who are planted in the house of the Lord.”
If you want to bear fruit even in your old age and remain fresh and flourishing throughout your life, you need to be planted in the house of the Lord. Thus says the Lord.
The church is the place where the Lord dwells. The place where God dwells is called the church.
If you go inside a church, no one will ask you, “Which caste do you belong to? Which religion do you belong to? Which God do you worship? Why have you come here?” No one will ask you such questions.
In the place where the Lord dwells, everyone has the right to enter. It does not show differences between Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, or people of any other religion. When you go inside, you can seek God, meet with Him, praise Him, hear the Word of God, and receive His blessing.
When you come into the church, the Lord will not ask, “Which caste or religion do you belong to?” Instead, He will ask, “Daughter, what is your problem? Son, what is your problem? What can I do so that you will be happy?”
He will ask about your troubles, and He will help you through them. That is the church where the Lord dwells.
No matter what religion you follow, when your heart is troubled, sit in the church and see. You do not need to go only when there is a worship service or a gathering. Even if there is no gathering, simply go and sit there. The divine peace of God will fill your heart. I have experienced this myself. There is no doubt that the divine peace of God will fill your heart.
Not only that, those who are planted in the house of the Lord will bear fruit even in their old age. They will be fresh and flourishing. No matter how old they become, they will have within them the grace and blessing to bear fruit.
Bearing fruit means developing good qualities and living a life that produces good fruit. The church helps us walk in a good path. When you go to church, you receive good counsel. You are taught to live according to your conscience. You are taught to respect your parents and how to live responsibly in society.
Not only that, you are taught to fear the Lord. You learn how to behave at school, how to conduct yourself in college, how to behave with your teachers, how to live in your family, and how to behave with your relatives. All these things are taught in a good church.
My beloved children of God, when you go to church and return, the words you hear there and the anointing you receive there will bear fruit in your old age. The Lord will help you remain fresh and flourishing.
Hannah went to the temple of God and cried out to the Lord. She asked the Lord for one child, but the Lord blessed her with five more children.
The temple of God is so special. A woman who had suffered from an illness for eighteen years and was unable to stand upright went to the house of God. When she went there, she received healing, and her condition was changed.
This shows us that nothing is impossible for God. Whenever your heart is troubled, pour out your heart before the Lord and cry out to Him.
Testimony:
“We came last year, in the month of August, to the APO meeting. During the individual prayer, we asked Brother Stephen to pray for our son’s job. Brother earnestly prayed for him. The very next month, our son got a job.
The following year, in May 2026, we came to the APO meeting and asked Brother to pray for our son’s marriage during the individual prayer. By the grace of God, a good bride was arranged for our son. We have exchanged the flowers and got them engaged.
I also participated in the June 2026 meeting and asked Brother to pray for us to purchase an auto. Brother prayed, and according to the Mangala Vaarthai, that very same month we bought an auto by the grace of God.
The Lord heard all the prayers offered by Brother for us and is continuously performing miracles in our family.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. Give the blessing of bearing fruit even in old age and being fresh and flourishing to all those who are reading this message.
May every weakness in their bodies be changed. Lord, because of ageing, there may be weakness in their bodies and some organs may not be functioning properly. In the name of Jesus, let them be healed right now. May those organs begin to function properly right now.
So that they may be able to bear fruit even in old age, give them a holy heart.
May they be fresh and flourishing in every area of their lives—financially, spiritually, and in their family life. May every blessing be before them. I bless them and pray in the name of Jesus.
Today, whatever my children are expecting and praying for on this 1st of October, may all those desires and requests be fulfilled before the end of this month.
In Jesus’ mighty name, I pray.
Amen.
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all this September 30th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
Let us come to today’s Auspicious word. May the name of the Lord be glorified. Psalm 22:30 says, “A posterity shall serve Him. It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation.”
This word matches us very well. May this word match your life as well. “A posterity shall serve Him.” Today, we are serving the Lord, and it will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation.
You can see that the Little Prophet has entered the ministry. My daughter-in-law and my elder son are also involved in the background of the ministry. My daughter is also involved in the ministry. So, this is a posterity blessed by the Lord.
It is not only in my life or in my children’s lives, but this blessed ministry will continue through future generations too. The Lord has chosen us for this.
My beloved children of God, generally, people say that in a doctor’s family, at least one child will become a doctor. In an advocate’s family, they may encourage one child to become an advocate. Judges may guide their children to become judges. Teachers may encourage one of their children to become a teacher. In every field, they bring someone from the next generation into the same profession.
It is God’s work. Everyone’s work is God’s work. Therefore, desiring that someone from the next generation should continue in the same work is a natural desire.
Today, is there such a longing in your heart concerning your child? Are your children against it, and therefore, is it not being fulfilled? The Lord will change the situation.
For your children too, if you have a family business, family ministry, or a special calling in ministry, and they have not chosen it yet, may the Lord touch them today so that they may choose it.
If you are without a generation today, according to this verse, the Lord will give you a posterity, and for generations it will be recounted that they are the Lord’s generation. So that it may be said of you, the Lord will open your closed wombs.
Some of you are saying, “I am crying. I am still unmarried. I am 38 or 40 years old, but Brother is talking about children. When will the Lord give me children?”
As I said before, the Lord will fill in the blank. He will fulfil your marriage first. Those of you who have married late, do not worry. After marriage, the Lord will honour you by giving you a generation that serves the Lord.
Testimony
Praise be to God. “My son and my daughter-in-law got married on January 27, 2018. They were childless for seven years and were suffering greatly. Due to their work, they are residing in Oman.
I participated in the 2025 APO January New Year Blessing Meeting. During the individual prayer, I asked Brother Stephen to pray that they would receive the blessing of a child.
Brother prophetically said, ‘Do not worry. The Lord has kept a child in the womb of your daughter-in-law,’ and he prayed for us.
After that prayer, my daughter-in-law, who was in Oman, informed me that she was three months pregnant. Through Brother Stephen, the Lord revealed a clear prophecy and gave my children the beautiful blessing of a child. By the grace of God, my daughter-in-law delivered a beautiful baby weighing two and a half kilograms on the due date.” Children of God who have heard this testimony, may the Lord do a miracle for you too.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. On this joyous day, 34 years ago, on this same day, You blessed my family life through my marriage to my wife. To adorn and complete our family, You gave us children and grandchildren. In all the families, may such good occasions happen. I bless them in this way.
Give them the blessing of children and the blessing of seeing their children’s children. In whichever child’s life marriage is hindered, and wherever the blessing of a child is hindered, as Your ambassador, I wholeheartedly bless my children.
May glorious and good occasions be spoken of them and may good things be done for them. Open closed wombs and make them joyful mothers, dwelling happily in their homes.
It is said that grandchildren are a crown to the elderly. For the families that do not have this crown, Lord, bring that crown into their lives. I break every hindrance and bless them to receive miracles. May this Mangala Vaarthai be fulfilled in their lives from this moment.
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all this September 29th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
The Auspicious word the Lord gives us today is from Deuteronomy 28:3: “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.”
Who will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country? Those children who obey the commandments and statutes of the Lord.
Where are the Lord’s statutes? They are in your conscience. The Holy Spirit urges you and tells you what you should and should not do. The Holy Spirit, who has written the statutes of the Bible, will speak in your heart and tell you, “Do not do this; it is wrong. Do this; it is good. Go to this place; it is good. Do not go there; it is not good.”
When you live according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and obey the Word of God, you will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. Your tasks will succeed, and the work of your hands will prosper.
The Bible says that the heavens themselves will open their floodgates. If that happens, what will happen? You will no longer need to borrow; you will lend to many people. You will help many poor people. You will stand and build up many ministries. The Lord will bless you to such an extent that He will make your name great.
So today, according to the Word of God, may all the family blessings mentioned in Psalm 128 be fulfilled upon your head as Yes and Amen.
In the city where you dwell, you will live, prosper, be established, and do well. If you have gone abroad to settle in another place, the Lord will do good and give you grace there. He will make your name great. After this, the Lord will not allow you to beg from others. Instead, the heavens will open their floodgates for you.
Testimony
“It has been 14 years since we got married, and we were still without a child. We were living in great sorrow. Though we underwent many medical treatments, there was no result.
In such a situation, we attended the APO Fasting Meeting with fasting and prayer. During the prayer time, when Brother Stephen prayed in the presence of God, he prophetically called out my name, Tabitha, and prayed for me.
What a surprise! In that very same month, I naturally conceived. Now I am in my sixth month of pregnancy.
Think about it. Tabitha’s name was called out by the Lord. She had been without a child for 14 years, and no one knew who would come to the meeting. But when she came there in sorrow, the Lord called her by name and prophetically spoke to her. Because of that prayer, she conceived in the same month, and now she is six months pregnant. May the name of the Lord be glorified!”
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. Lord, according to the verse You have given us today, let all those children be blessed in their cities. In foreign countries, places, and nations, may they and their children be blessed. Lord, let them live in the fear of You and receive the goodness and grace that You give them.
May mercy and goodness follow them all the days of their lives. In the very city where My children once stood with their heads bowed down, make their names great. May the Lord look upon the children who are celebrating their birthdays and wedding anniversaries today.
May this Auspicious word be fulfilled in the lives of Your children from this moment.
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all this September 28th through this Auspicious word. May the name of the Lord be glorified.
What is the Auspicious word for us today? The Gospel written by Luke 14:11 says, “For he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Children of God everyone wants to progress, grow, and be promoted in life. That is a good wish and desire. But some work hard day and night, and still they are unable to grow beyond a certain level. The reason is that, without their knowledge, there is some pride within them.
The Lord is saying that if a person has to grow and progress day by day, and if he has to be promoted, first he needs to have the characteristic of humility. Humility is not seen in your dress or speech; it is seen in your actions. It is in your heart and mind.
The Bible says that if you have to grow and multiply day by day, if you want to progress and reach a high status or position, then today, humble yourself as much as you can. Do not boast anywhere.
Today, some have pride because of their caste. Some have pride because of their beauty or complexion. Some have pride because they have a government job. Some have pride because of the talents and skills that the Lord has given them. The Lord opposes such pride, but He gives grace to the humble.
If you have pride, the Lord Himself will oppose you. You do not need anyone else. You do not need an enemy or a foe. The Lord Himself will oppose you. Therefore, today, throw away the pride that is hindering your growth. Day by day, if you want to grow and increase before the Lord, humble yourself.
Clothe yourself with the characteristic of humility. When everyone praises you, you should say, “It is all the grace of God. Without Him, nothing is possible. If the Lord was not with me, none of this would have happened. If the Lord is not there, I cannot be where I am.” As you humble yourself, the Lord will elevate you.
Do you know the secret behind why Jesus was born to Mary? In that town, how many women would have been there? But Mary was chosen because she had a humble heart. She said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” She humbled herself before the Lord.
Even though she was the mother of Jesus, she never boasted about it. She remained with the disciples and stayed within the group, quietly supporting God’s ministry. She remained behind the scenes without seeking recognition.
Therefore, today, wear that characteristic of humility. No one can stop the promotion that the Lord gives you. May you receive a good promotion, a good increment, and an improvement in your business. In your field, may you excel and achieve great things.
Testimony
“I suffered from low blood pressure, and my body became so weak that I was unable to stand. I was unable to do anything. When I was inactive, I kept remembering each Mangala Vaarthai that Brother Stephen shared in the APO meeting. Those Mangala Vaarthais revived me. The divine strength of the Lord strengthened me, and all my weaknesses changed. The Lord helped me to arise and walk well.” The Lord who performed that miracle will do the same for you too.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. Some are saying, “I am not able to stand. I am not even able to hold a small thing. I am not able to fold my hands.” For those children who are in sorrow today, through this Auspicious word, I bless them that a divine miracle will happen in their lives.
Today, as You have said, give each and every one the divine experience of humbling themselves under Your mighty hand. May the Lord remove all the pride seen in them and give my children the characteristic of humility.
Let them have the humility that was seen in Jesus Christ—the humility that led Him to obedience, even to death on the cross. According to this Auspicious word, let them humble themselves like Jesus. And when You give them a high position, let my children safeguard it with humility. May this word be fulfilled in the lives of my children. Amen.
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all this September 27th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word for us today? Take and read Deuteronomy 15:4: “The Lord will greatly bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance.”
For everyone who is born on this earth, God has a plan. Some may be born in one nation, receive citizenship, settle there, and inherit that land. At a certain stage in life, the Lord may lead them to another nation, give them citizenship there, and help them live well. In this way, the Lord of Heaven has certain plans for each one of us.
No matter who tries to hinder those plans, they cannot stop them. The plans of God will be fulfilled.
This verse says, “The Lord will greatly bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance.”
Sometimes, without the Lord leading them, people stubbornly say, “I will settle only there.” When they go against the plan of God, they may not experience blessing upon blessing there.
So today, no matter where you are, when the Lord takes you to a place, humble yourself under His mighty hand. There, He will bless you, multiply you, and help you possess the land.
Know this and inscribe it in your heart: If the Lord takes you there, He will take you there freely. He will not merely provide money and make a way for you. He will take you there with favour—with a red-carpet welcome and with honour, so that the nation itself will welcome you.
If you are saying, “Lord, I am suffering in the country where I am,” and you wonder, “You said I would be blessed even more in this land, but I am being troubled again and again,” then tell the Lord, “Lord, forgive me if I came here without knowing Your plan. Help me to inherit, live, and prosper in the land You have chosen for me.”
Ask the Lord, and He will do a miracle. Children of God who are preparing to go abroad, pray about it and seek the counsel of God. May you go according to His will, and may that land be opened for you.
The ships of Tarshish are awaiting you. The airports are open for you. Those who cheated you will return your money. The Lord will take you to the nation He has prepared for you. If you are saying, “In the nation where I am, I have not grown or progressed,” hold on to this word and pray to God. The Lord will give you promotion and greater honour.
Testimony:
Praise be to God! My husband Suddenly developed a continuous cough. Following that, he became unable to speak.
When we went to the hospital, the doctor examined him and said that the nerve from the brain to the neck had been affected. The doctor also fixed a date for the next stage of medical treatment.
We were in tears and very anxious about the situation. At that time, I was watching the APO Fasting Meeting on my phone. Through Brother Stephen, the Lord gave a prophetic word: “I will do a new thing in your life, and you will see it.”
I claimed that word, and my husband and I prayed. On the day the doctor had asked us to return to the hospital, we went there. The doctor took a scan, and the doctors themselves were astonished. They said that there was no problem with the nerve going to my husband’s brain. Everything had become normal. I give thanks to God for the prophetic prayer given through Brother Stephen.
Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You. Lord, touch those who are in the midst of confusion and sickness. Today, do a great thing in their lives.
Safeguard my children from sickness and disease. I bless the organs of their bodies to become new and healthy.
According to the Auspicious word You have given today, may the Lord greatly bless them in the land where they dwell and help them to grow greatly.
Lord, help them to save money and build their own homes. Be gracious to them. Henceforth, may my children not need to borrow, but may the Lord bless them so that they will be able to lend to others.
For the children who are preparing to attend an interview today or tomorrow, Lord, look upon them. May the matter for which they are going be successful. May this Auspicious word be fulfilled in their lives from this very moment. Amen.
