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 Ezekiel 47:12, “’And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God is saying that the blessing you need for you and your family is flowing from the sanctuary of God and when you see the rivers of blessing flowing into your houses you shall receive all kinds of fruits month after month. You will also bear fruit when the blessing of water flows from the sanctuary into your houses. When the anointing of the Holy Spirit is being poured upon you like rivers of water then you will bring forth varieties of fruits.
The word of God says, trees that grow on the bank side of the river are lushly and green and their leaves never wither. They never dry up. And the fruit of the tree shall you eat thereof which means you will be enriched by the word of God that flows from the sanctuary or the mouth of God and in turn you shall spread God’s word all abroad. We realize that the promises of the sacred word of God and the privileges of believers are communicated to the souls by the quickening of the spirit. The rich word of God nourishes and delights the souls of men. They never fade nor wither, nor are exhausted. While the trees provide fruits the leaves serve as medicines to the souls. The warnings and reproofs tend to heal the disease of the souls.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Christ is the Temple, and He is the door. From him the living waters flow from his sanctuary. They are increasing waters, that help in the growth of the tree. Just as the waters flow deep to help in the growth of the trees, you should be nourished in the word of God to produce spiritual food. As food helps man to grow strong physically, spiritual food is essential for a person to grow strong in the Lord. For all the scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction for instruction in righteousness. That the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. Even Apostle Paul encourages believers through his Epistle to Timothy, saying “Do your best to present yourself to God as one, approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of Truth.”
My Dear brothers and Sisters, through the above passage, we learn that you and your family will experience a great change in your life. God will bring about a great prosperity in your life. Because the Word of God says, “He who trusts in the Lord will prosper.”And a faithful man will abound with blessings. Trees yield fruits. What kind of fruits, Fruits of income, fruits of wealth, financial resource, fruits that yield family blessing, which means you will be blessed with children. God is opening new ways and means to help you meet all your needs. Your income will not be wasted in unnecessary things. Means to make your living will be provided through these trees. And the fruits of the trees will not grow spoilt. They will be delicious both to your body as well as your souls. Therefore strengthen yourselves in the Lord. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for telling us that we ought to be well equipped with the word of God. And abide by the word of God correctly. Help us to grow trees that would bring good fruits. Fruits that will strengthen our body, soul and spirit.
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 Deuteronomy, 5:16, “ Honour Your Father and your Mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, that your days may be long and that it may be well with you, in the land, which the Lord your God is giving you.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context, we understand that God expects that we honour our father and mother. The Bible says, every person must respect his mother and his father. Apostle Paul to the church of Colossae, admonishes that not only adults but children too need to obey their parents in all things, for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. The Bible says, “Honour Your father and mother and he who speaks evil of father or mother, will be punished.” Again it says, “Honour your father and mother, that your days, may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you.”This shows that God is very much concerned about parents and their relationship with their children.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, who are reading this message, do you want to be blessed in your life, and then you must obey your parents. Only then you will be blessed by God. Never argue with your parents. Never put conditions to them. God will not be pleased with it. If God should be pleased with you, then honour your father, and mother and keep them happy then you will be blessed. Think if you have cheerfully obeyed all the instructions of your parents? Whether you have loved and honoured your parents? Did you meet all their wants? Have you behaved with your parents with all gentleness and affection? Have you prayed for them ?
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, We need to create positive thoughts about our parents. Understand where they originally come from, their family background. When you inquire about their family details they will be so pleased to share their thoughts and views. Create an interest in knowing them fully well. Talk to them constantly, Express your gratitude to them and appreciate every little thing they do for you. Always have loving and forgiving spirit towards your parents, and forgive them if they seem to have wronged you in any way. Many of you are longing to hear the voice of God. You want God to speak to you. Sometimes you approach saints and prophets to inquire if God would speak to you or if you could listen to the voice of God.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God is speaking to you through this message, regarding your relationship with your parents, and God. You may be wondering if God would talk to you regarding your future, or about the plan of God for your life. Once God comes into your life, then surely He will talk to you about your future. God promises you the same assurance which God made to Jacob. “Behold I am with you, And will keep you wherever you go. I will bring you back into this land. I will not leave you, until I have done what I have spoken to you.” Which means whatever plans God has for you, will be fulfilled according to His time. He will liberate you from the problems that you are entangled with. God will not only protect you, but also bless you with a bright future. He will never leave you nor forget you. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Help us to be obedient to our parents. Teach us to honour and respect our parents. To treat them well and keep them happy especially when they grow old. Never to neglect them, argue or put conditions to them rather be kind and helpful to them. May we forgive them and show love and care for them.
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 Genesis 28:15 “Behold I am with you and will keep you wherever you go. And will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, wherever we are, we are safe if we have God’s favourable presence with us. The Lord whom we worship respects each one of us. He is a great creator. He is an Almighty God. The Earth or the World could not contain Him. He has authority over heaven and Earth. Such a great God, respects the ordinary man. Or in other words is mindful of man. God likewise expects us to respect others. We are nothing when we compare ourselves to God. Yet He loves us and wants to have relationship with us. We see now a days that man wants to have relationship with similar people. God does not look for status. He has no partiality. He treats the rich and the poor alike.
My Dear brothers and Sisters, We see in the Bible, a young man, Jacob who experiences personal relationship with God Almighty. One day his parents Isaac, and his mother Rebecca, called Jacob blessed him and asked him to go to his uncles place, to make his livelihood. Being young he had to take up some job and help himself for his survival. In those days rearing sheep was the main occupation. Jacob was an obedient son to his parents. He did not receive any money or take his share of wealth or any investment to start his business but just received the blessings of his parents and departed to his uncle’s place. He considered the blessing of his parents more valuable than anything else. We see that the blessing of parents is so important, if one must be blessed by God. The Bible says, he acquired all the blessing from his father Isaac. As a result Jacob feared his brother Easu, who wanted to kill him.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Jacob never argued with his parents or questioned his parents about leaving to his uncles place. He honoured and Respected his parents He was a humble man. So God was pleased with him. Whether Jacob knew or not, about the presence of the Almighty, God was with him. He had chosen him even before the foundation of the world. Now that he feared his brother he was in trouble, obliged to flee, so he looked up only to God, to make him dwell in safety. He had to take up a long journey from Canaan to an unknown country. He was prepared to lie down and sleep in the open air, with his head upon a stone. God’s time to visit his people with His comforts is when they are most destitute of their comforts.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God gives his people graces and comforts, accommodated to the events that shall be, as well as to those that are. Jacob at that point of time was forsaken by all, even by his own family members. God foresaw what hardship Jacob would face in that strange land especially in his uncles service. So God promises to keep him. God visited him while he was asleep. He saw a ladder, which reached from earth to heaven. The angels were going up and down and God himself, was at the head of it. Christ is the way to God. All God’s favours come to us from God through Christ. All the glad tidings we receive from heaven come through Christ. God assures him saying” Behold I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go. And will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.”God was mindful of him. So he says, I will not leave you nor forsake you. Whom God loves, he never leaves. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for telling us the importance of getting the blessing of our parents. Help us to be obedient to our parents and also to honour them. Make us a blessing to others. Teach us to have a personal relationship with God as Jacob had. Accommodate us with your graces and comforts when we are forsaken by all.
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 Isaiah 53:3, “ He is despised and rejected by men. A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief, And we hid as it were, our faces from Him. He was despised and we did not esteem Him.”
Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we come to understand that the Lord Jesus Christ was nailed on the cross for you and me. He was rejected and despised by mankind. He was rejected that you should not be rejected and despised by others. The Lord is speaking prophetically to you through this message that whoever has rejected and despised you and has therefore caused misery and anguish in your life, and have pained your heart, then God will bring them back to you and surrender to you.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, It may be your debtors, who lent money to you, your own relatives, or any other person. Whoever it may be they will one day, repent of their wrong doings, and come back to you. God will change their minds and help them come back to you. That is why Jesus hung on the cross rejected and despised for you.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Your own husband or your own wife might have despised you. They may not be listening to what you have to say. The wife complaints that her husband has despised her. And the husband says that his wife has despised him. All this occurs in the family because there is no true love between them. One hates the other. This is the state of many families. But Christ hung on the cross for you and me, just to bring peace and harmony between husbands and wives in the families. God is good all the time. He is watching your tears. God is soon going to bring about a change in the life of your husband, or your wife. May be soon after your reading/you read, the message, you will see a change in their life.
Similarly if you happen to be a boss, of a company or doing business, kindly don’t mistreat your workers, employees, working under you. Never despise or reject them, for they too have same feelings like you. Mother in laws, never mistreat your daughter in laws. Treat them like your own daughters then God will do wonders in your life. He will be pleased with you. May God help you to esteem others better than yourselves. Remember that God was a “Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief just because he wanted you to enjoy the fullness of your life. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for opening our eyes to the truth, that You hung on the cross rejected and despised in order to save mankind. Lord help us to love and respect one another’s feelings and never to reject or despise anybody. May we learn to live in harmony and in peace.
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 Luke 8:48 “Your faith has made you well.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we come to understand that the woman was of great faith. Since she exercised faith in her life she was made well. The incident occurred while Jesus was travelling to Jabirus house, actually to heal his daughter but on the way a large crowd thronged around. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for almost twelve long years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors. And had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, in a person’s life sickness come in many ways. May be because satan sits inside of him and causes disease. Some might become sick due to taking unhealthy junk food and cause disease for himself. Sometimes due to family curse, or generation curse a person might acquire certain disease. Sometimes God Himself might allow illness in order to test the faith of that person. Often people get so worried about their illness. It would look like a mountain before them. They are afraid that the sickness would lead to death. What does the Bible say? “An evil disease has clung to him therefore he has fallen on his sick bed.”Since he has fallen on his sick bed he will not rise up again. They say that is the end of him.” They might say, it is an incurable disease. This is the assumption of people. But God is above all. He says, “I know the thoughts that I think towards you. Thoughts of peace and not of evil. To give you a future and a hope. ” No matter how a person is affected by sickness God is able to heal all kinds of disease. He is God of all flesh; there is nothing too hard for Him that He cannot do.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, We read of a woman in the Bible whose name is unknown. She was a woman having a flow of blood for twelve long years. She spent all her lively hood, on physicians, and could not be healed. Therefore having heard that Jesus was passing by the road side. And though there was a great crowd she managed to come from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately the flow of blood stopped. She was healed of her disease completely in a moment. An extraordinary power was released from Jesus upon her. So Jesus questioned as to who touched Him, Just then the woman admitted that it was she who touched His garment. She declared to him in the presence of all the people, the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately. Looking at her Jesus said, “’Daughter be of good cheer, your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”’Many thought that she who had fallen sick with the issue of blood, will never again rise up. Some thought she would die of this sickness. God’s power is beyond human prediction. For in a moment the issue of blood was stopped. God gave her free healing. God gave her another opportunity to live her life.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, What kind of incurable disease are you suffering from. Are you taking many types of medicines? And yet you are unable to get cured. You don’t seem to get better in spite of taking good medication. For such kind of people, God is going to perform a miracle for you today. For those of you who are reading this message, make use of the opportunity that is given to you. Increase your faith in God. Just as the woman with the issue of blood, was healed because of her ardent faith in Jesus, you also will be healed of your disease. Exercise faith in your daily life. You will enjoy the rich blessings of God.
God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Increase our faith in You Lord. Make us to be bold like the woman with an issue of blood, to approach Jesus. Thank You Lord for releasing your power upon us. Thank you for healing all our disease. Help us to move forward in our life with hope and dependence upon God and His favour.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
