I greet and bless every one of you in the Mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of 2 Chronicles 7:11, “ Thus Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and Solomon successfully accomplished all that came into his heart, to make in the house of the Lord and in his own”
From the above context we see how Solomon finished the house of the LORD and the king’s palace, and successfully completed everything that he had planned to do. Solomon went on in his work, and prosperously effected all that he designed for the adorning both of God’s house and his own. Those that begin with the service of God are likely to go on successfully in their own affairs. It was Solomon’s praise that what he undertook he went through with and it was by the grace of God that he prospered in it. Hallelujah!
May be until this day whatever you had been planning to do, regarding your family, or your children, or for your future would have been a failure. Nothing seemed to work the way you expected. So you have been disappointed all these days. But to those of you who are reading this message, I wish to say that the Lord will help you to accomplish all that you have planned to do in your life. What you need to do is to be thankful to the Lord for what He has already done in your life, “Have a heart of gratitude,” like King Solomon. Then you will be successful in the journey of your life.
May be you started certain things but you couldn’t. It may be your house construction, or your business, or your plan to go abroad to make a better life. But all your plans remain unaccomplished. You couldn’t be successful in your venture because of financial deficit, lack of obtaining permission from the Government, or many other reasons. What you couldn’t accomplish will be completed by the grace of God this year. Nothing can obstruct you from completing your vision, or your plan or desire. God wants you to be successful in the purpose of your journey. Hence your journey will be successful. For whatever purpose or reason you wish to travel, the Lord will help you to be successful. You might have roamed here and there regarding a particular matter, but you would have received a message in contradictory to your request. And therefore you seem to be crying over the issue. God knows your wanderings, He has stored your tears in His bottle.
You might have been to the court several times, or you might have been going many times to see the lawyer, but you have not found any solution to your problem. You had been to the hospital often yet you found no remedy to your sickness. So you are pained at heart, and so you are filled with tears. May be you are broken in heart and reading this message with deep distress and grief, since you have failed in all your pursuit, until this day. But God is prophetically saying that from today onwards, your journey will be successful. Solomon showed his love for the LORD by walking according to the statutes of his father David, and the king went to Gibeon an important altar and offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. God was so pleased with him. Therefore God honoured him. Similarly the purpose for which you are undertaking will be fruitful in the days to come. You will accomplish the purpose for what you are going and return successfully. There will be no more failures hereafter in your life if you offer yourself unto the Lord and walk according to His statues. Be grateful to God always. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our Loving Heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Lord teach us to approach God when we are in trouble. Help us to seek the Lord in prayer. And may we praise and glorify His name, in order that we may be victorious in all the battles that are set before us. Lord give us the understanding to be grateful to God for all that He had done in the past. May we be like king Solomon who showed his gratitude to God by offering sacrifice unto His God.
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 John 1:12, “But as many as received Him to them He gave the right to become the children of God to those who believe in His name.”
This message is mainly to let you know how important it is to believe in the name of Jesus. 2000 years ago, while Jesus lived in this world, many came to Jesus to receive blessings from Him. Some were healed, some received sight, while some came for deliverance as they were demon possessed. But in the midst of all this they were some who came to accuse, ridicule and scorn Him, but the name of Jesus is the most beautiful of all names, in the ear of the believer, for there is no other name in heaven or on earth that has the power to seek and to save that which was lost.
Trusting in the name of Jesus is accepting Him as the Son of God. It is to believe that Christ’s death, burial, and Resurrection procured our salvation. It is trusting, by faith, that we are born again into the family of God. It is to believe that Jesus took the punishment that we deserve, by His death on the cruel cross, we have been declared righteous by God. And as many as received Him, to them He gave the power to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.”
‘To believe in His name’, does not simply mean to believe that Jesus lived, as a historical figure. ‘To believe in His name’, means to accept everything that the Bible teaches about the Lord Jesus Christ – and that He is the Word of God made flesh, Who dwelt among us and died as the sacrificial substitute for the sin of mankind. ‘To believe in His name’, is to believe that Jesus is the Creator of the world, to believe in His name’, is to rely on Him for the redemption of our soul, rather than relying on our own good works for the salvation of God. It is only when we believe in His name that He gives us the right to be called His children.
The privilege of becoming a child of God comes with our desire, to receive Him through faith. Faith in Christ comes by hearing the word of God, and believing that Christ was crucified, was buried, and rose again. And when we believe by faith – then God the Father grants us the right to become His child.
There is only one way to be saved – “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.” Today is the day of Salvation. He will heal you of all your disease. He will forgive you of all your sins. He will renew your mind and make you a new creation. And when we make this God our Father, then we become His children. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. So believe in the Name Of Jesus and be saved right now. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord we thank You for teaching us through this message the importance of believing on the Name of Jesus. For all knees will bow before Your Highly Exalted Name. We Thank You Lord for making us your children. Help us to rely on You alone and not in our own good works. Guide us step by step. In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
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 Proverbs 10:6, “ The Blessings of the Lord are on the head of the righteous. “
From the above context we come to understand that the real blessings of the Lord will surely rest on the head of the righteous. It will not be a temporary blessing. It will remain over a long period of time. The Blessing of the Lord will remain with you forever. Only then it can be considered as blessing from the Lord. If the blessing stays for a while with you, and then it departs, from you then it is not the blessing of the Lord. The Bible says, “The Blessings of the Lord, makes one rich and He adds no sorrow with it.”
To those of you who are reading this message, I wish to illustrate this with an example. Let us say your neighbour has built a house. And so you want to build a house like your neighbour, therefore you get funds from all the banks possible and start constructing your house. You then begin to borrow more money from financer for high rate of interest. You do all this without consulting with God, not knowing His will for you. It may not be that you should build a house just because your neighbour built it. Now you are unable to complete the house construction. It stands half built. You are yet to finish the building work. You are in a fix. You don’t know what to do further. You realize that you are caught up in a huge debt. You do not know how to build the house or pay back the dues to the bank and the financier. Now you will feel ashamed that you could not complete building the house. This is when you realize that it is not the blessing of God.
If it is God’s will He will help you find the resource for building your house. You prayed about it. You asked the Lord beforehand whether you could build a house of your own. Since you asked God, He will remain with you. He will take up the responsibility of building the house. He will provide the means to pay your loans. That is the truth. He will make it possible for you to complete the construction. He will never put you to shame before your neighbours. When you fail to ask God’s will to build your house, then the bank officers will come and seal your house until you make the full payment. This is because you have tried to snatch the blessing of God before the appointed time. We should never try to enjoy, anything that gives us pleasure, before it comes from the hand of God.
When God does not bless, there will be blockades, such that you will not be able to proceed further, with the construction, of your house, or anything that concerns, you. So I request you through this message, that none of you, who are reading this message, should get entangled in such issues. Be careful to listen to the voice of God in this regard. It is not about how you rotate your money in order to build your house, but whether it is the will of God. You need to know if the blessing is sent from the Lord. Then He will make arrangements for you to pay the bills. God will make arrangements for your maintenance, and for all other things. If it is from God, your house that you build will last forever. The Lord says, “My People will never be put to shame.” Therefore you need to do everything with utmost care and with wisdom. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord we thank You for teaching us through this message the importance of knowing God’s will in our life. Let us be careful to do everything with the direction of God. Never to do anything just to boast of our capability. Help us to be humble and not proud, in doing anything in our life. Teach us to take counsel of God through prayer and by reading the word of God and listening to the still small voice of God. May God help us to walk in wisdom.
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 Exodus 6:6 ,“ I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgement.”
From the above context we learn that God spoke through Moses to the children of Israel. “I am the Lord, Eternal in his being, immutable in his counsels, faithful to his covenant, and able to fulfil it; and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians; which lay heavy on them, and made them sigh and groan: and I will rid you out of their bondage; in which they were kept, and by which their lives were made bitter: and I will redeem you with an out stretched arm; from heaven to earth. He stretched his arm upon the enemies of his people, and delivered them out of their hands: with great judgments; by sending, many sore plagues and punishments inflicted upon the Egyptians. Thus, the Lord commanded Moses to say to His people. God claims He is Lord over all creation and tells them what plans He has to do for them. He is the One who will redeem them, and it is by this powerful name, “Yahweh” that Israel is going to be delivered. The Lord, then described the things He was about to do for them.
Firstly He said, that He will bring them out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, to get relief from the terrible oppression of labour imposed by the Egyptians. They will leave Egypt and go to the Promised Land. Secondly, He will deliver them, from their bondage; it implies physical separation from the place of danger or oppression. The Lord promised here that the Israelites will be separated from Egyptian slavery. Thirdly, He will also redeem them, with an outstretched arm and with great judgments, shows how the Lord, will accomplish this deliverance. The Lord, said, that He will rescue Israel with an outstretched arm. Fourthly He said that He will make them His people, because “They were bought with a price,” asserting that His people belong to Him because of His death on the cross. Finally the Lord stated that He will be their God.
God saved His people from the bondage, under the Egyptians Task Masters. God will save you also from your bondages. No matter what kind of bondages you are caught up with. Some of you might have been caught in debts, some in gambling, some in drugs, some may be caught up in unwanted issues. Some may be engaged in some sinful activity. Are you caught up in an incurable disease? May be in court case, or in theft, whatever may be the bondage in which you are caught up, God is going to deliver all of you from such issues. Someone might have done sorcery or witchcraft over you or your family. God will rescue you. He will come suddenly when all your hope is lost and will deliver you from your terrible situation. Rely on God, He will deliver you.
What is the problem that you are facing at this point of time? Don’t worry, Just as He saved His People Israel from their cruel task masters, God will descend upon you, from His Holy mountain to help you and deliver you from your bondage. Jesus Said, “My judgement is just.” Righteousness and Justice are the foundations of God’s throne. So God will do justice to you also as he has promised. For He is the Rock, His work is perfect, for all His ways are justice. A God of truth, and without injustice. Righteous and upright is He. When we have such a God, why worry. Take your problems before the Lord in prayer and He will cause you to be victorious in life. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you for telling us from the scripture, how great a God You are. You are awesome, You are wonderful, You are Mighty, You are all powerful. You do wonders beyond numbers. Teach us to depend upon You for all our needs. Help us not to get trapped, in any unwanted issues? Prevent us from being caught up in bondages. Deliver us from all our unrighteous activities, and help us to be just and honest in our lives.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved in Christ, 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 Psalms 119:38, “Establish Your word to your servant, Who is devoted to fearing You.”
From the above passage we see how David asks God to teach him His statutes, and to help him apply them in his life. God, by his Spirit, gives a right understanding about His word. Unless we have the Spirit of wisdom in the heart, we will not be able to understand His word. So God puts his Spirit within us, causing us to walk in His statutes. David says, “Quicken me in thy way; to redeem time, and to do every duty with liveliness of spirit. The promises of God’s word greatly impress the children of God. When we enjoy the sweetness of God’s precepts, it will make us long for more acquaintance with His word. By saying, “Establish thy word unto thy servant”. David asks God to confirm it; make it seem firm and true; let not my mind be vacillating in regard to thy truth. This seems to be a prayer against the influence of doubt and scepticism; a prayer that doubts might not spring up in his mind, and that the objections and difficulties of scepticism might have no place there.
David feared not only God but also the word of God. It may mean that he was among those who feared the Lord. “When the Bible talks about fearing God, it is usually referring to an attitude of reverence and respect, not terror. The fear of the Lord conveys a positive reverence. God said, “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. “You shall have no other gods before me. “Moses tells this to the people of Israel,-So that they may fear the Lord. But to those of you who are reading this message, I want to introduce you to what King David believed was the Key to everything – the Fear of the Lord. David feared God from an early age and it gave him great wisdom that prepared the way for him to become a wise and powerful king. “So David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved wisely. And Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul’s servants … And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the LORD was with him .Then the princes of the Philistines went out to war. And so it was, whenever they went out, that David behaved more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name became highly esteemed.”
King David’s son, Solomon, also wanted to be a wise king and asked God to give him an understanding heart to judge the people of Israel, to discern between good and evil. So at Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, ‘Ask! What shall I give you?’ And Solomon said: ‘You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he walked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this great kindness for him, and You have given him a son to sit on his throne, Now, O LORD my God, You have made Your servant king of Israel. And I do not know how to go out or come in. And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted. Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours? Then God said to him: ‘Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you.”
Discerning between good and evil is what everything is about in our life. Go back to the beginning to see what God said to Adam in the Garden? “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” But what did Adam do? He ate the fruit which his wife, Eve gave it to him. The moment they ate of the tree, which God had forbidden, “Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew what is good and evil. Wisdom is discerning between good and evil and choosing to do good rather than evil. The key that opens the door to that wisdom is “the fear of the Lord.” Solomon was a wise king, at least during the early years of his reign. Here are some of his thoughts about what he knew about fearing God. He says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.” “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, And before honour is humility.”
Dearly Beloved, Are you walking in the ways of God, like these men? Do you fear God.? Do people recognize your behaviour, as a Child of God? Are you like worldly men who cheat, bribe, and speak lies , with others for a petty matter ? If you fear the Lord and walk in his ways, then God will be pleased with you, and bless you. He will exalt you like King David who started his life as a shepherd boy. Try walking in the ways of God. Test God and see how it works to be a true Child of God. May God enable you to walk in the fear of the Lord, after reading this message. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord we thank You for teaching us through this message the importance to fear God. And obey His Precepts. We thank You for setting before us models like David, Solomon and Job who feared God and were led by the Holy Spirit, through which they were able to walk in the fear of God and His righteousness.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
