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 John 8:3-11,
“Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say? ”This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear.
So when they continued asking Him, He] raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.”
And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
From the above context we understand that Jesus had driven off every single one of the men who called for her death. Jesus does not tell the woman, “you did nothing wrong.” He does not say, “Don’t worry about what you did.” Instead, Jesus simply states that He does not condemn her. Jesus showed this woman spectacular grace, while still holding firm in calling her adultery what it was: a moral failure which should not be repeated. Thus we see that neither Jesus rebuked her for her sinful act, neither did he punish her. Instead He gave her another opportunity for her to live a better life in the future.
This incident serves as a useful example for us. The adulterous woman was morally and legally guilty while Jesus remains perfect. No one on earth had greater justification to kill her, for her sin than Jesus did in that moment. And yet, Jesus chose not to kill her. Thus we see that Our God is a God of compassion. He cares for us. He is mindful of us. He always prefers that we live an exemplary life. God says, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things, and be in health just as your soul prospers.” He tells us that we will prosper if our soul prospers, that is to be in tune with God, walk spiritually and not be worldly. When we have a close relationship with God then we will surely prosper. We shall be like the tree planted by the rivers of water. That brings forth its fruit in its season. Whose leaf shall not wither and whatever he doeth shall prosper. A life of prosperity.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for being gracious to the woman who had committed sin. You did not kill her according to the law of Moses. But you forgave her. We remain grateful to You for giving her another opportunity to live a better life in the future. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to lead a life pleasing to You. We praise Your glorious name O Lord.
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 Isaiah 48:17 ““The holy God of Israel, the LORD who saves you, says: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.”
From the above context we understand that our God teaches us to be wealthy. He teaches us how to make profit in all walks of life. May be in your business, to work brilliantly at your work spot, and excel in your education, progress in any profession. He also leads you by the way you should go. In the Bible God says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will guide you with My eye.”What more do you want? If you make such a God as your portion then you can obtain whatever you expect from him. The God of wonders is within you. And so you have a great wealth that you could not afford to lose it. He is Jesus Christ. He operates in you through the Holy Spirit. Un seen God present within you is a comforter, Jesus sent after his resurrection.
The Lord, the Holy One of Israel, who rescued His people from enslavement in Egypt, is the same Almighty God who graciously redeemed us from the slavery of sin, the moment we believed in Him. “Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, ‘I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go. He is the One who promised to teach the people of Israel those things that would benefit them, in their daily life. And He is the same Lord Who has promised to guide us into the way of truth, direct us through deep valleys of darkness and uphold us with His righteous right hand, as we climb the hills of difficulty that crop up in our earthly way.
The same Spirit of God who led the people of Israel through the desert, and rained down manna from heaven and opened the river Jordan so that they could enter the promised land, is the same Holy Spirit Who teaches and trains us in the way we should go. He guards and guides us during our sojourn on earth. The Holy Spirit who guided the children of Israel through the desert is the same Spirit of God Who guides us along the path that is best for each one of us as we tread along the journey even if it is sometimes uncomfortable or difficult. The Spirit-filled words of Isaiah were an encouragement to the people of Israel, who were suffering affliction during their journey to the Promised Land. And it is the same Holy Spirit that speaks to us and gently leads us through the peaks and pitfalls of this worldly system.
God convicts us of our sin and saves and sanctifies our souls, guiding us along the path of duty, and instructing us on the highway of righteousness, and bearing us up on eagle’s wings through times of exhaustion. He is the One Who protects us in the way of affliction, He guides us into all truth, by speaking to us through the word of God, and He is the One that unveils the gracious character of God, teaching us to live a life that’s pleasing to Him. It Is the Holy Spirit, who points us to Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
“Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, ‘I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go.'”
You might have lost your house or your job, or all that you consider as wealth during this period of lockdown. Many would have lost your dear ones and still grieve over their demise. They were all the wealth you possessed. Now you seem to be left alone. But you have not lost the one who grants all the wealth. If God is with you then you are blessed. In case God is not with you then your conscience would be spoilt, and your days would have come to an end. But when you have begun to search for God, it is an indication that God is within you. He is your wealth and He is your portion, as long as you have not lost Him. And since he is within you, it is possible for you to get all that you desire in life. The Bible says, You shall remember the Lord, your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You, Father, that You are our Guide and Defender, our Rock and our Stay. Thank You, because You remain the same even today as You were when You led the children of Israel through their times of difficulties and oppression. Give us a teachable spirit, listening ears, and an attentive heart so that we may learn all that Your Holy Spirit desires to teach us. And continue to guide us in the way that is best for us.
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 66:13, “As One whom his mother comforts so I will comfort you, and You shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”
“My Dear Brothers and Sisters from the above context we know that Pastors and Ministers are instruments of God and are of great comfort to those who are grief stricken. Yet God is the sole efficient cause of comfort to mankind. Since He is an immense and infinite Being possessed of all perfections and yet revives the spirit of the humble and contrite; as He is the Maker of heaven and Earth and all things and those whom He comforts are, ordinary dust and ashes, moreover, He is just and righteous. Though people are ungodly and guilty of backsliding and sometimes revolting against God Himself. Yet He comforts them as He has loved them with an everlasting love, and has given His only begotten son, for them and quickens them though they remain dead in sin.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, we read that just as a Father pities his children So the Lord pities those that fear Him. Today God says, I will comfort you just as your mother comforts you. In the worldly sense, there is no other greater character who can comfort us more than a mother. Because a mother carries her child within her womb for ten long months and also suffers from pain while begetting her child. During her pregnancy she cannot sleep peacefully. She suffers from vomiting and she is not even able to eat what she desires during the time of her pregnancy. She cannot run about and do her work as she likes. Sometimes she struggles to breathe. Some suffer from giddiness. She patiently goes through all these issues before she delivers her baby. She is cautious about her baby in the womb and takes great care till she brings forth her baby.
My Dear brothers and Sisters, Passing all these hurdles she sacrifices almost ten months to give birth to her child. Similarly after the baby is born she is not able to bear any problem that her child undergoes. Sometimes the baby might fall down from the bed or cradle she immediately runs to pickup her child, carries in her arms and hugs and kisses the fallen child. That is the love and comfort a mother shares. There is much more one could mention about a mother. In the same manner our God takes great care of us and comforts us throughout our lifetime. Our God is the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in our troubles. He says, “ Look I shall not leave you as orphans. I will come to you.”David says, Lord when I was troubled within my heart, Your consolation brought me great joy. God further consoles us by saying, “I even I am He who comforts you. Who are you that you should be afraid, of a man who will die? And the son of man who will be made like grass?
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, What more do you need when you have a God on your side. I know many who read this message are going through various troubles, in your life. Apostle Paul encourages us by saying If God is on our side then who can be against us? This is the assurance you need to have as a Child of God. Remember in this world you will have tribulation, but take heart God has overcome the world. May the Lord comfort you. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for revealing to us the greatness of a Mother. And that You comfort us as a Mother comforts her child. We praise You Lord for comforting us at times of troubles. Give us the strength to overcome our grief and sorrow by holding on to You. Help many to be good mothers to their children. Grant them the grace to grow their children in the fear of God.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
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 Numbers 24:8, “God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn, he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.”hi
From the above context we learn that God brought the people of Israel out of Egypt, who were in bondage for nearly 430 years, as slaves under the Egyptian task masters. The very word “Egypt”’ reminds us of slavery. God gave his people the strength of an unicorn so that they will be able to fight all the nations that came up against them on their way to the land of Canaan. God gave His people an unknown strength so that they would break their bones and pierce them through with his arrows.
The term “Egypt” denotes slavery and oppression. Today even you are subjected to some kind of slavery. You may be a slave under your master or your boss or some person, from whom you have borrowed some money. You may be a slave to some type of character, or cult or habit, of yours, or to some kind of sinful activities. You may be addicted to drugs or you might be a chain smoker, and you are unable to free yourself from, such bondage. You may be bound by huge debts, and you are not in a position to pay back your dues or you may be a slave to some kind of illness.
Today while you are reading this message, I wish to say, that whatever type of slavery you may be bound by, God is going to deliver you. Set you free and liberate you. When God liberated the people of Israel from the land of Egypt, He blessed them with strength, of the Unicorn, and brought them out, so that no one could prevail against them. The Egyptian task masters treated them very badly. So these people looked up to God in heaven, and cried up to Him. The Lord called Moses the Deliverer and said, to him, I have surely seen, the oppression of My people, who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry, because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.”Similarly God knows your sorrows too. He has seen you crying within the four walls of your house. Do not be worried or dismayed. Be strong and of good courage, because the Lord will deliver you out of all your hurdles. He will deliver you, your family and also your children from slavery and oppression.
God is delivering you from all your misery and obstacles through this message. God wants to comfort you by His word. You seem to be asking God, when all these problems will come to an end. Will I not be able to come out of my debts, Will not my child give up his bad habit. Will he not come out of his sinful activities? God wants to wipe away your tears, so He is taking every step to deliver you and your children from all your troubles. You are rather scared as to what might become of you, since there is no one to help you. If God decides, He can save you in a second. He will open the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places. He will gird you and make peace in your borders.
May be until today people from whom you borrowed money might have been threatening you, but hereafter they will be in good terms with you. God will grant you favour in the sight of others, He will open ways and means for you to close all your debts. Your problem which seemed to be huge and disastrous will end up peacefully. God is speaking to you prophetically, through this message that you trusted someone and gave a blank cheque for having borrowed very meagre amount of money, or you had given a blank promissory note, but now he has filed a case in the court, against you saying that you have borrowed very huge sum of money, and have failed to repay the loan. Do not be afraid. Just hold on to Jesus. For God says, “Present your cases. Bring forth your strong reasons. I will do justice for you.” When you totally surrender you life and your problems to the Lord, He will rise up for you. He will defend you. He will fight for you. So put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. He will keep you through. Though the storms may rage and the winds may blow He will keep you sailing on. So do not fret or fear. Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank you for such an encouraging message. Thank You for speaking words of comfort. We bless Your Holy Name. You have delivered us from all our debts, sickness and other problems. You have set us free from bondage and liberated not only us but also our children from every evil practice. Give us the strength to hold on to You when we go through trials and tribulations.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
