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 Philippians 4:4 “Rejoice In The Lord Always. Again I will say, Rejoice.”
From the above context we learn that God expects us to be glad and rejoice in the Lord our God always. Here we see Paul speak to the Philippian church, asking them to stand fast in the Lord. He implores both Euodia, and Syntyche his beloved followers to be of the same mind in the Lord. He also urges them to help some of the women who laboured with him and Clement in his ministry and the rest of his fellow workers. Apostle Paul encourages them to rejoice in the Lord always. He tells them, “Let your gentleness be known to all men.”
From the above context we are called to rejoice in the Lord, to pray without ceasing, and in everything to give thanks to the Lord our God, for the joy of the Lord is our health and strength, and His mercy endures forevermore. We are exhorted to rejoice in the Lord and to take refuge in Him, for He has done wonderful things for all who have trusted in the name of His dearly beloved Son. We should lift up our voices in an everlasting song of praise because we who were once dead in sins have been justified and are being transformed into the very image and likeness of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
In Christ there is sanctification, glorification, and a joint relationship with the Son of the most High God. By His goodness and grace we have been seated in heavenly places in Christ – to His praise and glory, forever and ever. True joy and genuine happiness is a gift of grace from our heavenly Father, for genuine joy and true happiness is a heavenly grace we receive from the Spirit of God, as we walk in spirit and truth and live in newness of life. Joy is a fruit that the Lord produces within our heart, but the world cannot know anything about it.
The Joy of the Lord is a precious fruit and a spiritual grace that is given to us from above. The joy of the Lord is our strength in times of weakness and protection in times of danger. Joy of the Lord is a gift of God to the justified and a fruit of the Spirit to the sanctified man. This heavenly joy can be maintained in the midst of all afflictions and distresses, for the joy of the Lord is our everlasting hope and strength. Are you going through strife and struggle? Is there no joy in your life? Have you lost your dear one or have you lost your job? Is your business at a loss?
Turn to the Lord Jesus Christ. For the continual love of God will reveal His promises and plans for your life. The surpassing intimate fellowship with God will help you to see success in your life. God will turn your sorrow into joy the moment you receive Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. Let us rejoice in the Lord always -as Apostle Paul exhorts us to rejoice in the Lord. For Nehemiah says , “Do not sorrow for the joy of the Lord is your strength. “For the Lord our God is a great and awesome God, and a great King above all gods!
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for Paul who admonishes his fellow believers to rejoice in the Lord always. Loving Father thank You for Your gift of joy and for Your fruit of rejoicing. Help us to take all our thoughts before God, especially those doubts and imaginings that are prompted by the enemy to steal away from us the heavenly gift of joy that is ours in Christ. Thank You, Father, that You are worthy of all our praise and that Your joy is a heavenly medicine that strengthens our trust and increases our love for You. May we never cease to rejoice in You all the days of our life.
In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen
Dearly Beloved, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our God, who created and formed us and who never ever forgets us. The blessed word that God has given for you, today is from the book of Isaiah 43:2 , “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you when you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you.” In the above context we learn that God comforted the Jews while they were in captivity in Babylon. In this particular verse, God is telling the Jewish people that He will be with them in their most troubling times, supporting them giving them the strength to move beyond them and delivering them out of danger without harm.
The Lord promised Jacob while he was running away to his uncle’s place that He will protect him and keep him safe from all his troubles. Jacob went through disappointments and failures in his life. He was cheated by his own uncle to whom he went for refuge. Jacob cheated his brother Esau, in order to get all the blessings from his father Isaac and therefore ran away to his uncle’s place in fear of his brother Esau. Jacob wanted to marry Rachel but Laban gave Leah his eldest daughter in marriage to him. Laban also did not pay Jacob his full wages which was due unto him. Laban cheated him by changing his wages ten times. Thus Jacob had to go through a rough patch of life because he cheated His father and his own brother.
How is your state of affairs? Have you been cheated by someone? Are you disappointed in life? Has someone cheated you in your business? Have you lost all hope in life? Trust Jesus through all the circumstances of your life – for He has promised you that He will never leave you nor forsake you. David says, “When I am afraid, I will trust in God, whose word I praise, in God, I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? All day long they twist my words; they are always plotting to harm me.” Yes, People may be plotting to uproot you at your work spot, in your business or causing you pain and unnecessary tension through medalling with your relationship.
Learn to trust in the God of your salvation in all things that you do. The deep waters, and the fire of oppression are the problems and trials that you may have to go through in this life. Hold onto His Promise. And He will carry you through. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord as we face the storms and flames of life that appear to be so overwhelming, help us to remember Your Word of truth. May we recall Who You are and what You have promised to all Your children. Help us to secure our hope in You. Thank You that You have promised to be with us in all the scenes and circumstances of our life, for You are the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-gracious God, Who loves us with an everlasting love. We praise Your holy name.
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 Luke17:5,6, “ And The apostles said to the Lord. “Increase our faith. “So the Lord said “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea, and it would obey you.”
The disciples knew that without faith they could not do anything. Without faith you cannot see the glory of God. You can see an elevation in your life only if you have faith in God. So the disciples asked Jesus to increase their faith. Today God will increase your faith provided you lift up your heart to Him and ask him to increase your faith in Him. As of now you have lost your faith in Him. But He is going to renew your faith in Him.
God gives assurance to you of His richest, blessing namely to have “FAITH” in Him. In case you have a serious disease just believe that you will be healed, and then you will receive healing. To encourage those of you who are reading this message, and to increase your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, I would like to give you an illustration of a patient who was almost broken hearted. She is a teacher from Coimbatore, her name is Renuka Devi. Her internal organs being damaged, she thought she could never work. So she took a long leave and remained at home on her sick bed. Her two kidneys were damaged and she lost all hope of survival. Just then she began to watch the programme on “Anbarin Satham” in the Angel TV. She was in her death bed. I usually see visions while praying. I saw a room packed with spare organs all heaped up. So I cried out to the Lord in Prayer, “Lord send your angels and fit in the organs to those who are badly in need of organs that have been damaged, and are at the dying stage for lack of organs. I further said, in my message, that God is sending His angels right now into your rooms, and replacing new organs.
This sister Renuka Devi who was watching the programme saw in her vision an angel replacing her damaged kidneys. She believed in God’s word and increased her faith in the Lord, therefore God performed a miracle for her. She saw in her eyes of faith God fixing new kidneys into her body. And she glorified God. As soon as I completed my prayer in the programme that she was watching on that day suddenly she began to speak, move her limbs and walk about in her room. She cancelled her leave and joined school at the earliest. She had written her testimony to me.
Dearly Beloved, if you believe you shall see the glory of God. If you just believe that you have no disease then truly you will have no disease. Amen. God bless you. Amen.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord increases our faith in You. May we wholly put our trust in you. Help us to believe that You can heal us of our disease. We thank You for working miracles in our life.
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 Ruth 2:12, “The Lord Repay your work, and a full Reward be given to you, by the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings, you have come for refuge.”
From the above context we understand how Boaz blesses Ruth, a Moabites. who returned to Bethlehem along with her mother in law Naomi, in search of livelihood. Boaz encouraged Ruth, as she was a woman who had a good testimony by saying the above words, “ The LORD repay your work and a full reward be given you by the LORD God of Israel”. We see a new change had come upon her after the death of her young husband; she put her trust in the God of Israel. She gave up all her former associates, now she had come to live in among strangers. She felt very low in her own eyes. So she found protection under the wings of God.
Boaz, the citizen of Bethlehem, saluted her with words of tender encouragement; for though he was much older to her, yet he was humble enough to exhort her goodness towards her mother in law. God wants to give her another new life in the strange land , as she had come under the wings of God, for refuge. Boaz knew of Ruth’s commitment to the God of Israel. Wings of God, represents trust and security. And Ruth was overwhelmed by his kindness, and was polite enough to say, “Let me find favour in your eyes.”
Many of you are reading this message with a desire to have a new life. You seem to ask for yourself will it be possible for me to restart my life again. I have lost my life. Will God give me another opportunity? Surely God will bless you with another new life provided you make certain corrections in your life. You need to maintain a good testimony like that of Ruth. Speaking about her, Boaz says, “Blessed are you my daughter, For you have shown me more kindness at the end, than at the beginning. And you did not go after young men whether poor or rich.”’ Now my daughter, “I shall do for you all that you, request, for all the people in the town know that you are a virtuous woman.”
How do the people in your neighbourhood consider you.? How do you converse with them? Is your testimony spotless? If your ways are acceptable and worthy of praise surely God will give you another life which you are looking out for. For He is good to all those who put their trust in Him. God is concerned about your life. He wants to comfort you through this message. There is a secret in the life of Ruth, as to how her life that had almost ended. began to shoot up again. It was her sacrifice. She had left her father, her mother, and the land of her birth, and came with her mother in law to a land and people unknown to her. Are you willing to sacrifice all that is unwanted in your life for the glory of God. Ruth not only maintained a good testimony but also fell under the wings of the Lord God of Israel, for refuge. And so God had already prepared a relative who came forward to give her new life.
Ruth’s commitment to the God of Israel, was the cause for her to rebuild her life. The Bible says , “ I will repay your work.”A reward according to your work will be given to you. May be you are reading this message in the midst of agony and broken life. God wants to rebuild your life, re establish your life that has been uprooted or plucked out. For God says in the Bible, For I will set My eyes, on them for good, and I will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up.”’ May the Lord help you to set a good testimony.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for rewarding Ruth according to her work. Help us to be like Ruth and hold a good testimony before others. To mend our ways and also practice, self sacrifice in our lives. Teach us to live for others and not be self oriented.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Kings 1:48 And the king also said, ‘Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has granted someone to sit on my throne this day, my own eyes seeing it.”
King David thanks God, in his last days, with a grateful heart for blessing him with a son who could sit on his throne after him. He thanks the Lord for helping him to see his own son Solomon sit on his throne. Though David had to face many battles in his life, God did not bring an end to his life. God had increased the number of his years. He extended the days of his life in order that he might see his son seated on his throne after him. With great satisfaction David thanks God. On the day when his son sat on the throne, David made a long prayer of thanksgiving to God. The Lord was pleased with David and blessed him. Are you thankful to God for all that God has done for you in your life?
No matter what our circumstances may be, we should not let a day go by when we don’t thank God for his mercy and grace. God is worthy of our thankfulness and praise. He who receives all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious. David says in Psalm 116:12, what shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits? I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the Lord.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, we pray that you will grant to us a heart filled with praise and thankfulness. We bless your holy name. Help us to offer unto God thanksgiving and pay our vows. Help us to remember to thank you for all the great works You have done in our lives.
