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 Acts 10:38 says, that “ God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him.”
Dearly Beloved, 2000 years ago, once when Jesus was going through the shores of Galilee, during the time of His ministry, people brought to Him a man who was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech and they begged Jesus to put His hand on him. The people requested Jesus just to touch him. They believed that Jesus could heal him. They brought him to Jesus just to touch him, but Jesus on seeing the man had compassion on him and so He looked up to heaven and sighed, and said unto him, Ephphatha, that is, “Be opened”. And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plain. He shouted just one word, “ Ephphatha. ” Which means let it be opened. The Bible says, the very next minute his ears opened and the impediment of his tongue was loosened and he spoke plainly. He came to Jesus as a dumb and deaf person but after he met Jesus he returned as a healed person.
Today God is going to change you. Many of you who are reading this message are surprised to know what Jesus did for that dumb man. What the dumb man experienced on meeting Jesus was beyond imagination, inexpressible. His joy knew no bounds. It was more than what one can think, pray or expect. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. God desires to bless you in the same manner. Are you willing to meet this Jesus like the person, who was deaf and dumb.
Make your choice. But do not delay. Come to Jesus and be healed of your disease, your captivity, your bondage and from your debts. He will relieve you. You may be caught up in some kind of bad habits, and you are unable to come out of it by your own effort. Give your problem to Jesus. He will solve it for you. God Bless You.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank you for revealing to us how the Lord Jesus was anointed by the Holy Spirit and it was because of this Spirit of God, Jesus went about doing good. Anoint us also Lord with the Holy Ghost. Help us to do greater things for you. We surrender to You like the man with impediment, heal us Lord of all our wrong doings and purify us. Make us pleasing unto God and also teach us to do the will of God.
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 Job 14:13, “Oh that you would hide me in the grave, that you would conceal me, until your wrath is past. That you would appoint me a set time, and remember me.”
From the above context we learn about a man called Job. He was a good man. He trusted God. But Job had terrible troubles. The devil with the permission of God caused a lot of trouble to Job. On a particular day Job lost all his wealth, his cattle, his servants, and his ten children while they were eating and drinking in their elder brother’s house. Hearing this Job tore his clothes and shaved his head and fell to the ground and worshipped God. He said the “Lord gave and the Lord has taken away.” God permitted Job to suffer, to test his faith. Job’s friends instead of comforting him during his time of trial gave wrong advice to him. They did not think that God would allow an innocent person to suffer. So they thought that Job was guilty. They thought that Job had committed some grave sin. But Job explained that he was innocent. Job thought that God should help him. The Bible says, “In all this Job did not sin with his lips.” Even his wife hurt his feelings. She couldn’t bear to see him sit on ash heap scratching his skin filled with boils. His wife told him to curse God and die. But he said to her, “Shall we accept good from God and shall we not accept adversity.” Job was sure that after being afflicted, God will restore him good days in life.
You can simply trust God as Job did. He will not allow us to suffer troubles that are too difficult for us. And God will help us when we go through troubles. The Bible says, “God is faithful and He will not allow, you to be tempted, beyond, what you are able. But with the temptation, will also make a way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” You are not alone when you suffer troubles. God will make you strong in him. So do not be afraid. Just as the Lord restored Job’s losses, and gave Job twice as much as he had. God will bless you too. He will bless you with a double portion of blessing. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank You for instructing us through the story of Job that we ought to be patient when we go through trials. Not to murmur, but be humble in the presence of God. Then, He will change our sorrow into Joy and our mourning to dancing. Teach us never to sin with our lips but to trust in the Lord Almighty to the very end of our trial. 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 Deuteronomy 33:14-16, “And with the choice yield of the sun, And the choice produce of the months; And with the best things of the ancient mountains, With the choice things of the everlasting hills,And with the choice things of the earth and its fullness, And the favour of Him who dwelt in the bush. Let it come to the head of Joseph, to the top of the head of the one who was prince among his brothers. “
We see from the above passage the blessings of Moses, bestowed upon the twelve tribes of Israel, before his death. The above mentioned context was the blessing of Joseph. He was special because he was the son of Israel, in his old age. Jacob had twelve sons who formed the twelve tribes of Israel. Every tribe had his share of blessing, but Joseph had more than all his brothers. He rightly deserved the blessing of Moses because he proved to be better than the rest of his brothers. Today the Lord is going to place this blessing upon your head as it was placed over the head of Joseph. As soon as His blessing descends upon your head, all your poverty will vanish. All your misery will change. You will begin to prosper.
Just as a ripe fruit naturally tastes delicious, in the same manner many things that you desire will happen in favour of you very naturally. Just as we enjoy the light of the moon during the night time, so also will be the gifts that you receive from the hands of God pleasant and beautiful. You will not only receive the blessings of the hills and the mountains but also receive precious things of the earth and its fullness. Just as the favour of God descended upon Joseph and blessed him above all his brothers so will God bless you through your work or your business and reveal his favour to you among all your brethren.
The blessing on Joseph was special, and long. Joseph was fruitful though, in fact he was so fruitful that he was always a blessing to those around him; be it his family, his owner under whom he served as a slave in Egypt, the prison where he was wrongly incarcerated, or in Egypt where he ruled as the Governor. How was this possible? Joseph actually suffered much, in the hands of his brothers, but he always remained steadfast. He always trusted in the Lord; so the Lord blessed him and protected him. Though, “They shot at him but his bow remained steady.” Although the world threw all it could at Joseph, he remained in his faith and was rewarded because of it.
May be until now you have not seen success in your life, You might have experienced great failure in your studies, in your ministry, or in your business. But in future the Lord will enable you to prosper in all walks of life. The Bible says, it pleased the Lord to bless Israel. He is a God who does what He says. He blessed Jabez, when he cried unto the Lord. God enlarged his territory and preserved him from all evil. God granted him what he requested. In the same manner God will grant you all your request. Moses blessed the children of Israel with all kinds of blessings. He called all the twelve tribes and blessed them. This particular blessing was given to the tribe of Joseph. Moses refers to the favour of God that he experienced while he was beside the burning bush and expected that Joseph should receive such blessings from the Lord. The Bible says; Let the blessing come on the head of Joseph. Likewise the blessing of the Lord will henceforth descend upon you and your children. Your blessing is upon your people. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for Joseph who endured patiently all the troubles and therefore he was exalted. Similarly we pray that you will help us to bear all the troubles patiently with the faith of God. Bless us and our children, with the yield of the sun, and with the best things of the ancient mountains, with the beauty of the hills,And with the things of the earth and its fullness, Bless us Lord as Moses blessed Joseph.
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
John 3:16. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son,
so that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal
life.”
This much-loved verse of Scripture, outlines the glorious gospel of
grace clearly and simply. It tells that Christ died a sacrificial death on
the cross, as an expression of the indescribable love of God for us,
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that
whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.”Jesus
told this astonishing truth to Nicodemus the synagogue leader, who
came to meet Him secretly. He explained to him that the kingdom of
heaven was only open to those who look in faith to Christ, the-
Redeemer.
It was God Who purposed that the only way man’s death sentence
could be reversed, was if a perfect, sinless Man was willing to pay the
price for sin. But no man was good enough for all are sinners. And so
out of love for us, God gave His only begotten Son, as the sacrifice
for sin and to take the punishment that we deserve, “so that all who
believe in Him will not perish but have eternal life. “In His goodness,
grace, mercy and love, He gave His beloved Son to live a perfect life
and die a sacrificial death – so that all who believe in Him will not be
condemned but live eternally. God says, “I have loved you with an
everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn
you.”God has drawn us close to Him through His Son the Lord Jesus
Christ by His death on the cross.
We have been experiencing the love of Jesus in one way or the
other. His love is an everlasting love. He displays His love by opening
the eyes of the blind. He went around healing the sick and the
needy. He made the lame to walk and caused the dumb to speak. He
feeds the hungry and raises the dead. He lifts those who are bowed
down. He forgave the sinners of their sinful life. And He builds up the
ruined places of your life. The Lord says, I will build you up. And you
shall be rebuilt. Many have lost their family lives because of divorce
or because you have been forsaken by your wife or your husband. To
such people the Lord says, “I will rebuild your families.” Your ruined
life will be re established. Believe in the Lord. He will do marvellous
things in your life. The Bible says, “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God
has prepared for those who love God.
God loved David. He exhibited his friendly love to David by blessing
him with a wise son Solomon, to sit on his throne after him. Hiram
king of Tyre wrote to Solomon saying” Because the Lord loves His
people, He has made you king over them.” Hiram said, God of
Israel, who made heaven and earth, has given king David a wise
son, endowed with prudence and understanding. In the same
manner God will bless you with a generation that would be wise,
prudent, and with good understanding. Many of you are longing to
have the gift of a child. God will soon bless those of you who are
crying for a child. The Bible says, God grants the barren woman, a
home, like a joyful mother of children. The Love of God has been
poured upon you for you are very precious in His sight. Therefore
God wants to honour and exalt you in life. Make Jesus who gave
His life for you, “The centre of your life.” God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed
day. Thank You Lord for sending Your only to die for our sin. Thank
You that His blood has paid the penalty for our sin and that the
power of sin in our life has been broken through Him. Christ’s
sacrifice on the cross, reveals Your immense love for mankind. We
give thanks and praise for this free gift of salvation, that is open to
whosoever will come, to God through Jesus. We thank you for your
everlasting Love and for rebuilding our ruined lives. Help us to be
faithful and seek God diligently 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 Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Isaiah 46:4, “Even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you. Saith the Lord. I am your God and ye are my people”.
From the above context we learn about God’s love for us and how he cares for us even in our old age. He doesn’t forsake us. The Bible says, The Lord will vindicate His people, and have Compassion on His servants. The Lord will take care of his children even when they are old and grey headed.
It has always been a great comfort to realise that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that the Lord knows us before we were born, for it is He who formed us in our mother’s womb. Indeed, He has scheduled every day of our lives, watches over our every movement and faithfully remains with us, even when we wander far away from Him. The above verse assures us, that it is not only our early years about which the Lord is concerned; But He is with us every day of our lives, from the cradle to the grave. He cares for us from the womb to the tomb; from start to finish – from birth to death and for every day and season in between.
The Lord is not only interested in us during the initial days, of youth; our years of vigorous actions; or our blushing adult activities – when we are passing through the prime of life. He also is deeply interested in us as we advance into our twilight years -and even on into the frailty of old age. The Lord loves and cares for each one of us when our hair has turned gray, our knees have grown feeble and our faces have become furrowed with wrinkles. He cares for us when our hands start to tremble, our mouths begin to dribble and our minds become increasingly confused and forgetful. And He has promised to carry us and care for us in every season of life, because He is our Father and we are His people. He has made us and He has promised to faithfully carry us; care for us;
help us and deliver us, all the days of our life – until He takes us home.. to be with Himself, in heavenly glory.
I wish to encourage the elderly people of God who are reading this message, to be rest assured of God’s providence for you. Even when you go through pressing infirmities God supports you and cares for you. He considers you as His sons and daughters, the workmanship of His own hands. He is interested in your welfare. Therefore He says, I will bear you I will carry you, and will deliver you out of your entire affliction. Therefore cast all your cares upon Him for He cares for you. God Bless you.
Prayer : Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank you for taking care of us and our situation. Thank You Lord for comforting us through Your word, that You will help us and deliver us from all our troubles. You care for us not only when we are young and energetic but also when we grow weak and old in age. Thank You Father for Your constant care and faithfulness throughout our life. Thank You that You will never leave us nor forsake us, even when we become old and forgetful – We praise Your holy name.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
