Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given us today is from the book of Hosea 12:4, “He struggled with the angel and overcame him; he wept and begged for His favor. He found him at Bethel and talked with him there”. BETHEL was the place where God met Jacob and spoke to him. The Lord who met Jacob, is going to meet you today through His word. Jesus is looking at each of you individually. He is examining each of your needs and is speaking to you right now.
Jacob was the one, who received the blessings of his parents and without any capital, he decided to begin his life. When there came a time he had to earn, his parents called him and blessed him whole heartedly. They sent him to his uncles’ place and told him to work there. His parents submitted him into the hands of God. As he obeyed the words of his parents and went, God blessed Jacob with a step-by-step increment in his salary for ten times. Later, he got an opportunity to partner with his uncle as a working partner. His boss was his uncle but his capital was his hard work. God blessed Jacob several times.
After many years, when Jacob returned home, his heart was full of fear. Jacob and his brother had a fight and that was why he left home. Jacob feared that, the enmity his brother had against him might bring danger to him and his family. That night, Jacob battled with the Lord in prayer and asked His favor and blessings. The Lord blessed Jacob and everything went well.
Likewise, God expects the same kind of prayer life from you. Many of you reading this might be crying that, you are not getting any increment in your salary. Today, the Lord says that, He is going to bless you with double and triple increment in your salary. God is telling you that, all that you need is the wholehearted blessings of your parents. Believe it and receive it. Share all your problems with Jesus and He will open a way for you.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. I pray that You may bless Your dear children. Father, teach them to share their problems with You so that You will be able to give them a solution. Give them Your blessings today Lord. Enable them to experience the sweet communion with You. In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters 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 Ezekiel 26;36“’And I will give them one heart [a new heart, and put a new spirit within them. I will take from them the heart of stone, and will give them a heart of flesh that is responsive to My touch.”
My Dear Brothers And Sisters, From the above verse God is speaking to you through this message. He wants you to forget all your failures in your life. You consider yourself as a waste since all your effort has become unsuccessful. No one respects you or takes notice of you. You have been rejected and suppressed by others. They may be your own people. Therefore you are so dejected in life. You have lost all your hope in making a better life. Because you have tried all ways and means to uplift yourself in the society but it all turned out to be vain attempts as you couldn’t prosper and become wealthy. This society respects only the well to do and rich people. Therefore you are hurt and broken in spirit. God wants to give you a new heart, with a new spirit. He will take away your stony heart and give you a heart of flesh, so that you may be able to forget all your past failures, your losses, and your brokenness of spirit and help you to recover all that you have lost in your life. When your heart is in tune with God then God will begin to do a new thing.
My Dear Brothers And Sisters, God is able to change all your old pattern of life into renewed and changed life. Some might tell me, “Go Brother, it is written in my head that I must suffer in poverty. “I tell you God is able to change all your unfavourable situation to a successful and favourable one. In the Bible we read about Hezekiah, son of King Ahaz, who reigned over Judah. He was more zealous for the Lord than any other kings. Because King Hezekiah put God first in everything he did, God prospered him. Hezekiah “held fast to the Lord and did not stop following him; he kept the commandments that the Lord had given Moses. And the Lord was with him; he was successful in whatever he undertook”. But suddenly ,king Hezekiah was ill with an inflammation. Isaiah told him that the Lord said he should put his house in order because he would die. On hearing this Hezekiah turned his face towards the wall and prayed. He reminded God about his righteous life and how he did all that was right in the sight of God. God took pity on Hezekiah and even before Isaiah had left the king’s house, God told Isaiah to tell Hezekiah that his prayer had been heard and that his life would be extended fifteen years.
My Dear Brothers And Sisters, We see how God changed the situation of King Hezekiah in a moment. Even the Assyrians, who often invaded Judah stopped attacking them. The Lord, through Isaiah, reassured the king that Assyria would never enter Jerusalem. God not only extended the days of his life but granted peace during his reign. Hezekiah had the habit of praying So the Lord blessed him. God would change your situation also. You also learn to pray and obey the commandment of God. Then God will be merciful to you . He will not only extend the years of your life but also bless you with every good thing that you need. God assures you with a new job with good salary. He will clear all your debts. He will expand your business as never before. He will help in the education of your children. He will re-establish your family life and make you fruitful, in the land of the living. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, thank You for being merciful to king Hezekiah, for healing him of his disease which was unto death and also extending the days of his life. Lord be merciful to us also. Heal us of our illness. Make us to be obedient to your commandments. To fear You and do all that is right in the sight of God.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. As I waited upon the Lord, the blessed word that the Lord gave me to bless you today is from the book of Mathew 25:23, “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!” When you are faithful in little things, God will make you to rule over great things. Some of you are taking your own steps to reach your goals. You need to be precautious while making a decision.
Some people fail to understand that, because of the eagerness they have for the worldly gains, they tend to go away from the presence of God. When a person faces any crucial situation in their life, they tend to shift their attention from God to money. Instead of keeping their faith on God, they keep their faith in the worldly gains.
God has called you with a purpose. Do not go after money or the pleasures of the world. Faith can move mountains. Believe in the words of the Lord. It will all be fulfilled.
Repent from all your wrong doings and ask the Lord to help you to be faithful in little things. Depend totally on God for all your needs; then God will make you to rule over many things.
God Bless You.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. I pray that You may bless Your dear children. Father, teach them to be faithful in little things so that they may rule over many. Give them the grace to face all hardships in their life. In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
Dearly Beloved 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 Ruth 4:14, “The women said to Naomi: “Praise be to the LORD, who this day has not left you without a guardian-redeemer. May he become famous throughout Israel.’’
From the above context we see how Ruth and Naomi went to Bethlehem and there Ruth worked for Boaz in his farm, to make her living. Boaz was a wealthy man. He wanted to marry Ruth a Moabites widow but he was wise to give an opportunity to a man who was Naomi’s near kinsman. Boaz asked him if he could buy the piece of land and also marry Ruth but the close relative said, “I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I ruin my own inheritance. You redeem my right of redemption for yourself, for I cannot redeem it.” Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging, to confirm anything: one man took off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was a confirmation in Israel. Therefore the close relative said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.” So he took off his sandal. And Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, from the hand of Naomi. Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, I have acquired as my wife, to have an inheritance, in the place of the dead. Therefore Boaz– legally redeemed both the property and the posterity of Elimelech, and took Ruth, the woman he loved, as his wife. There was a contract between Boaz and the nearest kin of Naomi. As a result Ruth married Boaz a rich man.
The fact that Boaz and Ruth were able to raise up a son to the deceased Elimelech, was evidence of God’s blessing. God blessed Naomi through Ruth. Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a close relative; and may his name be famous in Israel! And may he be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.” Look how blessed Naomi was! She now had a grandson; she was now famous in Israel. Naomi’s original returning to the Lord began all this great work of God. If Naomi had not decided to go back to Bethlehem, the land of Israel, and the God of Israel, none of this would have happened. This is a marvellous demonstration of what God can do through one poor woman who gets right with Him. Ruth and Boaz: were Great-grandparents to David, king of Israel. The Bible says, Boaz begot Obed; Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David. And David had a descendant named Jesus! Praise Be To God. Hallelujah!
Similarly God wants to maintain a contract between you and God. So He sent His only Begotten son to redeem you by his death on the cross. He came to restore all that you have lost in your life. Just as He gave another life to Ruth who was a widow and had lost all hope of living a married life, God sent Boaz into her life, God rejuvenated her life. God honours those who wait upon Him. God will honour you also if you will only wait on Him. You shall recover all that you had lost in your business. All your debts will be cleared. You shall be well placed in the society like Naomi and Ruth. They were honoured by the people in the town. All the people who were at the gate, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses”: And they said, The Lord make the woman who is coming to your house like Rachel and Leah, the two who built the house of Israel; and may you prosper in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem. God will honour you when you remain honest to Him. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, We thank You for blessing Naomi through Ruth. Thank You Lord for honouring them in the midst of the people in the town and also blessed Ruth with a Son called Obed. We thank You for Boaz, who represents Christ Himself, who came to restore all that we have lost. Honour us also, who wait upon You, each day of our life.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
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 Deuteronomy 7:14, “You Shall Be Blessed Above All Peoples; There shall not be a male, or female, barren among you.”
He is a God who blesses the generation of His Children. David says, “The Lions do lack and hunger but they that fear the Lord shall not lack any good thing.” God does not want His children to lack any good thing. Some of you reading this message are crying as you lack something. You have spent many years of married life. You have taken all kinds of treatment. But all in vain. You have been living in shame; you are unable to face others. You never like to attend parties or functions. So you say, “Lord remove my reproach and bless me with a child. You are longing to have one child. But God is able to bless you with more than one child . God wants to show favour to you.
I remember how once a sister came up to me for prayer and poured out her heart to me. She had been married for ten long years but she had no children. I prayed for her saying, “Lord You will fill her belly with Your hidden treasure, and she shall be satisfied with children.” And sent her home saying, “The Lord will soon open your womb and you will conceive. This sister called me after two weeks and said. “Brother I have conceived. Praise the Lord.”After few weeks she again called me and what she said was surprising. She said, “Brother the Doctor has identified three foetus in my uterus. They say through recent mechanism they shall remove two of them and store only one since it had been ten years since I had a child. So I prayed to God regarding her case. But the Lord replied saying, what is written is written. So I asked that sister to leave it as it is, since God will help her to deliver the babies at the appointed time. She delivered the three beautiful babies and brought them to the special Fasting Prayer Meeting which is held every month in Chennai. Called ‘’Anbarin Padathil Oru Naal.’’ All who heard her testimony were wonder struck. God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you think or ask for, is able to perform extraordinary miracle for you.
Many of you are saying, how can God bless me when I have so many loans? When will my loans be cleared? How can I pay my children’s fees? How shall I pay the rent for my house? How is it possible for God to do wonders in my life? It is possible to them that believe in the name of Jesus. When Jacob was left alone he held on to God. He battled with the angel of God the whole night and said, “Lord I will not let You go unless and until You Bless me. ”You too should cling to the Lord when you need His help. God will be merciful to you and show favour to You. He says, “For a moment I had forgotten you but with everlasting love I shall embrace you. ”His anger is for a moment but His mercy is for everlasting, to those who call upon His name. Since Jacob cried to the Lord for blessing God blessed him. He found favour in the sight of His uncles Laban who chased him, to kill him. But God spared his life. When he left his father’s house he went with empty hand with only a staff. But when he returned he came back with two companies. He returned to his father after 20 years as a great and wealthy man. Won’t God do the same for you? However poor you may be, God is able to lift you up from the ash heap and cause you to be seated among the princes. Just believe. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, We thank You for showing favour to Your children who call upon Your name. Thank You Father for blessing that sister with three children. Help us also to receive double portion of blessing and glorify your name.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
