We read in the Bible that King Hezekiah was sick unto death with disease. Prophet Isaiah said to him, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live.’ ”Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and wept bitterly. The Lord sent word through Isaiah, “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you. And I will add to your days fifteen years.”When a cake of figs. was placed on the inflammation, Hezekiah recovered (2 Kings 20:1-7). God answered Hezekiah’s requests instantaneously. Likewise delight yourself in the Lord and cling on to Him, He will heal you.
I am well acquainted with Dr Dilip Kumar’s family in Nagercoil. His wife Dr Ruth Dilip Kumar was suffering continuously from a splitting headache for the past 7 years. No medicine could cure the pain. Despite taking several scans and taking treatment all her efforts proved futile. They came to me for prayer when I had gone to a place called Ayiramthengu in Kumari district for ministry. I asked her. “Sister what do you want me to pray for?” She said, “For the past 7 years I am suffering from this severe headache. Please pray that it should disappear.” I closed my eyes and said a short prayer, “Lord I don’t know what the cause of this headache in the dear sister’s body is. Why is she having these headaches? But today she must be free from it completely. I believe she will be healed if you say one word.” So, I kept my hand on her head and prayed, “Be delivered from your pain and be healed” and sent her home. She called me once she reached me and said, “Brother, the headache that I was suffering with for 7 years has vanished.” Hallelujah!
In the same manner God will heal you and will help you to come out of your troubled situation.
God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, We thank You for revealing Your power of healing in this message. Grant us strength in our feeble hands, legs, and may every organ in our body function well so that we may rejoice in the lord and glorify His name.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved, 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 Genesis 30:22, “And Then God Remembered Rachel and Listened To Her And Opened Her Womb.”
From the above context we learn that Rachel was barren over a long period. Her long barrenness had probably humbled and disciplined her; for she no longer trusted in “love-apples,” but looked to God for the great blessing of children. She knew that only God could open her womb and not her husband Jacob. Even her earthly means of pregnancy failed as she had tried the method of taking mandrakes, which was as big as a nutmeg. But she could not conceive. Ultimately she turns to God Yahweh. All her selfish feeling disappears. She is no more jealous of Leah, her eldest sister who had borne many children. God extended the period of barrenness, to teach her several lessons namely patience and complete dependence on God. He taught her humbleness of heart and fear for God and the truth is that they were influenced by the promises of God to Abraham; whose posterity was promised the richest blessings.
God remembered Rachel, in a way of mercy and kindness, whom He seemed to have forgotten, by not giving her children much earlier. But later, God hearkened to her prayer, which had been made time after time, that she might have children; but God had purposely delayed to answer, in order that Rachel might change in her attitude towards God. It was an outcome of the higher spiritual life of Rachel who thought that she could conceive without the help of God, by simply resorting to mandrakes. And was now able to recognize her complete dependence for offspring on the sovereign God of Abraham, Isaac And Jacob. Therefore God opened her womb; gave her conception, and made her fruitful, and she became the mother of a child she so much desired. God gave Rachel also a son, whom she named Joseph, because his birth not only furnished an actual proof that God had removed the reproach of her childlessness, but also excited the wish, that Jehovah might add another son.
Many of you who are reading this message are anxiously waiting to receive the gift of a child. But for various reasons God has delayed in blessing you with a child. So like Rachel you too may try all the earthly methods of conception. You may have tried various modern methods but not able to conceive. So you are broken in heart. You are living in shame like Hannah or Rachel and Elizabeth who suffered from barrenness. The best thing is to lean on the Lord. Then the Lord will be merciful to you and open your womb and help you to conceive and bring forth a child. Instead of looking at horoscope, or going for magicians look at Jesus. He will clear all things for you. He who heard the prayer of Rachel, will answer your prayer also and help you to conceive and bring forth a son, or daughter. For the Bible says, God grants the barren woman a home and makes her a joyful mother of children. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, We thank You for hearing the prayer of Rachel and blessing her with a Son. Teach us not to depend on earthly methods of conception, but rather to look up to God for offspring. Help us to put our confidence upon God. Teach us patience, and humbleness of heart, not to be jealous of those who have children but wait on the Lord for His time of blessing.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. As Children of God we need to give priority to God. We need to glorify God because He has granted favour before men and other people. Give God the first place in your life. If you give first place to God in your life, then God will give you the first place in His Heart. Especially the youngsters should seek the Lord while they are young. They should give the first place to God in their life. Ecclesiastes 12:1 says, “Remember now your creator in the days, of your youth. Before the difficult days come, and the years draw near when you say, I have no pleasure in them. ’Also we read in Psalm 119:9 “How can a man cleanse his ways? By taking heed to God’s word”.
When you give importance to God in your life then surely as per Proverbs 22:29 God will make you stand before kings. They shall not stand before mean men. Only when we give our priority to God, we will acquire a good portion of inheritance in our life. God must be our wealth and we should give the first place to God in our lives. Only then God will bless us.
Some might be expecting a seat in a good college, a good life partner from a good family, and a job in a good company. If you want all these things to happen in your life, then you should submit your life in the hands of the creator who will act for you. When you give a portion of your life to God then God will give you a portion of His blessing. God will break all the barriers that obstruct you from achieving your portion and will grant you the best portion. Not ruined places but place of prosperity. Since you are waiting for such a glorious period of life, the Lord will bless you and grant you the desires of your heart. He is a God who gives wonderful things. When God gives you the best portion in your life then you will live in peace, harmony and freedom.
May be until now you have not achieved anything wonderful in life, but hereafter, you will achieve wonderful things in your life. God will bless you with a permanent job. Some will acquire excellent business. They will rise up high and mount up as eagles; they will prosper and flourish like the palm trees they will grow like cedar in Lebanon as promised in Psalm 92:12. You will work in excellent dwellings with peace and great freedom.
God bless you
Prayer :
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for your unfailing love and care. We thank you for the favor you have shown in the midst of men and people. Thank you Lord for giving to us all that is necessary for our lives. Unto your name we give all the glory and honor for your truths sake.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen
Dearly Beloved, 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 Exodus 14:13, “And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid, Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more, forever.”
From the above context we come to know that all your enemies will vanish away and you shall be free from their hands. The Israelites were being chased by the Egyptian army. But all of them were drowned in the sea. Thus the people of God were well protected from their enemies and they crossed the Red Sea without any fear.
God is going to show favour to you as He showed favour to Joseph in Potiphar’s house. He was sold by his brothers to the merchants and there in Egypt he worked in Potiphars house. Though he did not do any wrong, he was thrown into the jail because Joseph refused to incline to the desires of Potiphars wife. Joseph feared God. And so he ran away from committing sin. God was with Joseph so he found favour in the eyes of the jailor who appointed him as the head man over all the other prisoners. Not only that, two years later was he called by Pharaoh himself to interpret the meaning of his dream. Even while he was in the prison he was able to interpret the dream of the butler and baker. And each ones dream came true as he had interpreted. Now when he interpreted the dream of Pharaoh he was exalted by him and made the Governor of Egypt. Joseph would never have thought that he was going to be the Governor. He was given all power and authority. God lifted him up from that of a slave to the post of a Governor. God favoured him in the eyes of Pharaoh.
Similarly we see Jacob who went to do business with his uncle, and he found the favour of God. In the beginning Jacob’s uncle Laban cheated him by giving his eldest daughter Leah. So Jacob worked another seven years and married Rachel. Day by day Jacob worked hard, and later his uncle financed him in his business and made him his working partner. He made a contract with Jacob saying all striped sheep would belong to Jacob, and all plain ones will be Labans’. God multiplied those sheep which his uncle had allotted for him. In everything that Jacob did God showed favour to him and therefore he became rich and wealthy. He found favour in the eyes of his own uncle who had cheated him and even his uncle’s sons who considered Jacob as an enemy, became friendly and showed favour to him. Therefore having crossed over river Jordan victoriously he praises the Lord and says, “Lord in what way am I worthy to obtain mercy and grace and the truth of God that I should be blessed with two companies who left my father’s house with only a staff and empty hand. He praises the Lord for making his name great among the Israelites. God will show you the same favour from your boss under whom you work. God will make your name great, with fame and praise in your company such that you will even become a working partner with your Boss in his business. If God is with you then you will shine. God Bless You.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, We thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank you for driving all our enemies and protecting us from their cruel hands. We thank You Father for the favour, You showed to Joseph and Jacob. We also wish to inherit that blessing which you have bestowed upon them. Help us to run away from sin and have godly fear in us. Teach us to have Christ in us that we may be victorious in our day to day life.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved, 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 Psalm 41:8.3, “The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed”.
From the above verse God is speaking to you through this message. He wants to deliver you from your sickness and help you live happily. In case you have done good to others, while you had an opportunity, then the Lord will strengthen you on your bed of illness and will sustain you on your sick bed. When you consider the poor then the
Lord will deliver you in times of trouble. The Lord will preserve you and keep you alive, And you will be blessed on the earth; God will not deliver you to the will of your enemies. These are the promises God makes to those who consider the poor because the expectation of the poor will not perish.
You might have been ill for many months, almost bed ridden. Then people might say, “ An evil disease,“ clings to him. And now that he lies down, he will not rise up any more.” Even your own familiar friend in whom you trusted, and even ate your bread, would comment wrong statement against you, instead of taking pity on you. People, especially your neighbours, who have been friendly will speak and spread all rumours about you. God will not leave you in that condition. David says, “He who brought me into sore and severe troubles will revive me again from the depths of the earth. Though God has chastened me, He will not leave me unto death.”
The Lord will be merciful to you and will raise you up. God will restore you to health, and heal all your physical and mental wounds. For He gives strength to the weak, and to the weary He increases their power. He is a God who heals all your diseases, and forgives your sins. God’s grace is sufficient for you, as his strength is made perfect in your weakness. God often sends His word and heals you. He has promised to bring health and healing to you and allow you to enjoy abundant peace and security. No weapon formed against you shall prevail. The eternal God will be your refuge. God will bring you out of darkness, and the deepest gloom, and will break away their chains. Even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you need not fear any evil, for His rod and staff will comfort you. Then no harm will befall you neither will any disaster come near your tent. He will wipe every tear from your eyes. You shall not cry any more. Begin to help the poor and needy. Then surely, God will bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, Thank You for forgiving us, of our sins and healing all our diseases. Teach us to help the poor and needy when we get an opportunity. May we have a heart to consider the poor. Protect us from all danger and harm. Never allow us to suffer pain and agony because of disease. Heal us by your healing power.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
