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 65:22 “They shall not build and another inhabit, They shall not plant and another eat, —And My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we learn that all God’s people are designed to enjoy the fruit of their labours. Then the children will not be troublesome, to their parents or will get into trouble. Thus all shall live in harmony. God says that they shall be blessed with the undisturbed enjoyment of all that is needful for their happiness. The above verse says, every man shall enjoy the avails of his labour. In the Bible we see that the Israelites inhabited the houses built by the Canaanites. Thus we cannot afford to build houses through hard labour and lose it in the hands of our enemies or strangers.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, In case you had built a house and someone else has cheated you, and made a duplicate or false document and had obtained it from your hands through wrong mean, God is about to change their heart and intention so that they regret for their wrong doings and will return the documents and the house back to you. Until yesterday, you were not able to enjoy the fruit of your hard labour. You must have gone through a lot of trials and agony to construct a house. You should be able to live in the house you built. But in case you are unable to occupy the house you built, or you are unable to occupy the flat which you have purchased with your hard earned money, because someone else is obstructing you from occupying your flat, God is making ways, and means, for you to possess your house. It will be Marvellous to your eyes. Halleluiah! For the word of God says, God’s children shall inhabit the houses they have built and shall not be dispossessed by an enemy.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Similarly you would have taken great pains to grow an orchard. It must have taken years to have grown and you should be able to eat the fruit of your hands for which you have worked so hard. But unfortunately your neighbour or a stranger has secretly intruded into your orchard and has robbed you of your fruits. God is intervening on your behalf because he had witnessed your hard labour. He knows your pain, and your hard work. He has seen your tears and heard your cries. Therefore he will speak into their hearts and convict them of their wrong deeds. And they will never again intrude into your orchard. That is why God says, They shall not plant for others to eat.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord , for your promise which encourages us that our enemy shall not eat of the fruit of our tree or occupy our house that we build. Thank you for helping us to inhabit our own hard earned house. Come and dwell in the midst of us Oh Lord. We need your presence in our lives.
n 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 5:9 which says, “He does wonders beyond numbers.”
From the above verse we understand that our God does wonders or miracles for those who put their trust in Him. Job was badly affected by the loss of his wealth, property and his ten children on the very same day. He couldn’t bear the crisis, yet He boldly said, the Lord gave and the Lord has taken. He was confident that God was able to do miracles for him and get back all that he had lost in his life. According to this verse God is going to do miracles for you, and your children. Our God does not tell lies. Our God is good. He is a good God. He does instant miracles. If you believe you will see the glory of God. God says, that He will perform miracles to those who humble themselves on their knees.
Job’s friend Eliphaz, reminds Job, that no affliction comes by chance, but by committing sin. As Job was going through severe affliction, his friends started criticising him. They blamed him that he should have committed some crime to suffer such affliction. The difference between prosperity and adversity is not so easily observed, as that between day and night, summer and winter; but it is according to the will and counsel of God. But Job did not sin against God. At the end Job was blessed in a double measure.
God says, He will hold your hands and lead you. He will perform many miracles for you before the very eyes of all the people who once cursed you, because of jealousy. Many considered you useless and good for nothing. Such people shall see you being exalted in the days to come since you have come under the wings of the mighty God of Israel, to take refuge. All those who caused pain to you shall see you. All those who despised you shall see you. God says, “Until I accomplish this promise, I will neither leave you nor forsake you. ” So be confident in the Lord like Job. God will bless you with double fold blessings.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord help to acknowledge You as our Lord and Master even though we go through troubles and trials. May we have the patience to endure all the sufferings that we go through. Teach us to wait on the Lord in prayer and supplication. And thus renew our strength in God as Job did and therefore he was blessed a double fold. Bless us too as you had blessed him.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book, Haggai 2:19, “But From this Day forward, I will bless you.”
From the above context we learn that many farmers spoiled their good work, of farming by going about with unclean hands which means they failed to store seeds. for the next harvest., and hence were likely to gain no advantage by their seeds. The impurity of their hearts and lives shall make the work of their hands, unclean before God. The case is the same with us. When employed in any good work, we should watch over ourselves, lest we render it unclean by our corruptions. When we begin to make conscience of duty to God, we may expect his blessing; and who is wise will understand the loving-kindness of the Lord. God will curse the blessings of the wicked, and make bitter the prosperity of the careless; but he will sweeten the cup of affliction to those who diligently serve him.
Prophet Haggai says, that even in these last days of the month, ever since they had begun their work, there were no signs for the betterment of farming. There was yet no “seed in the barn,” the harvest having been blighted and the fruit-trees stripped by the hail that rained from above, there were no signs of change, no earnest sign that the promise of God should be fulfilled, But God pledges His word, by saying, “from this day I will bless you,.”The Spirit of the Lord is looking at you and saying these words. “I will bless you from today” which means, God is about to start, a new beginning from this day onwards. It is true that till yesterday there would have been much struggle in your life.
There had been a lot of failures till yesterday. What ever happened till yesterday let it go. But whatever is to happen hereafter, will be for your good alone. That Is why God says, “ I will bless you from this day onwards.” God does not say He will bless you alone but your family as well. Your children might be studying out station, or abroad. Your husband will be working abroad. Your family may be living in different parts of the country due to various reasons, wherever it may be the Lord will help them. God is going to bless you and your family.
Lets us see how your state of affairs was till yesterday. The verse raises a question? Is there seed still in the barn? The “seed” here represents the investment you could make in the future. Usually no one eats the seeds completely. They will eat only the grain, instead of the seeds. But in case you had eaten away the seeds also, then you will not have seeds for the next harvest. Usually every time the farmers harvest their crop, they store some seeds, for next plantation. Only the rest of the grain will be consumed by them are sold in the market for money. Till yesterday because of poverty you had taken the seed also and eaten away. You seem to be vexed with your life because you could not make it big in life, like others.
Don’t lose hope in God. The bible says, for surely there is a here after, your hope will not be cut off. You had borrowed from many creditors and all the banks possible. You cannot borrow from anywhere any further. So God says, it is true that you had suffered much in the bygone days, You had to go through terrible days in the past, and you had to live in the midst of much affliction. But Hereafter God wants to bless you, with a bright future. He says, He will contribute investment for you. He will provide seed for you to sow and bread for your food. He assures you by saying, that He will supply the needed seed for you to sow, and also increase the seed you have sown, and cause you to prosper. Isn’t that wonderful? What a God He is! He will fulfil the desire of your heart. He will neither forget you nor forsake you. He will soon wipe away your tears. Your image or frame remains in the palm of God’s hand for ever. Your walls are ever before Him. So be cheerful. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You Heavenly Father for watching over us and helping us in our helpless situation. We thank you for providing seed for sowing and also for providing bread for our food. And also increase the seed that we have sown, and cause us to prosper. Help us not to eat the seeds away but to store it for the next season of farming.
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 you, for today is from the book of Isaiah 62:8 ,“Surely I will no longer, give your grain, To be food for your enemies. And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine. For which you have laboured.”
From the above passage we learn that our enemies may try all their best to grab our wealth or our position, or property. But the Lord shall never allow them to succeed in their attempt. You have toiled much to earn what you have. God knows your hard labour. So no man shall be able to snatch it away from you. May be someone is trying to grab all that you have earned through hard labour. May be your boss is often reducing your salary by cutting your wages for petty reasons. As a result you were never able to see your full salary on hand and you are crying over this issue. You are trying for better opportunities but not able to make it.
Just as God warned Laban not to speak good or bad to Jacob or to harm him, who was on his way to his father’s place with his wife and children, God will speak to your boss and caution him about his wrong dealings with you. God will warn your boss from hurting you. He will intervene on your behalf and deliver you from the cruel clutches of his hands.
Dearly Beloved, I wish to relate to an incident that took place recently. I was invited to conduct three days convention meeting at Medavakkam, Chennai, in a CSI Church. On the last day of the meeting the spirit of the Lord descended upon me in a mighty manner and I called out to one Mr. Balraman. God repeated the name three times, to indicate that he was about to commit suicide and wanted me to stop him from doing so. Actually the man on the roadways was surprised to hear his name being called. He came with a bottle of poison in his hands and stood in front of me. He was so vexed and disappointed in his life that he wanted to take the bottle home and commit suicide. But the Lord stopped him through my call. On inquiring him he said, Sir, “I had pledged my house to the Financer but I am yet to pay the loan money which I am unable to do. The Financier is therefore trying to grab my house. He is causing misery and pressurising me to pay the loan. So I am fed up of my life.” Then I told him that his cry has been heard by God and he will come down in a marvellous manner to rescue him. I assured him saying, “Today God is meeting you, and therefore you submit yourself to the Lord Jesus Christ. You are unable to occupy your house, so you have come to this sad decision. Submit your problem to the Lord today. This night the Lord will intervene for your sake and speak to the financier. His sleep will be disturbed. God will make ways for you to redeem your house. God knows you and your problem, I do not wish that you die before the appointed time. Go In peace.” So he went home. Just as I had told him a few days later the Financier came to his door step, to help him redeem his house. The house was released to Mr. Balraman on certain mutual settlement. God had been gracious to this brother.
When God can meet Balraman and show favour to him will he not be considerate to you? Can He not perform a miracle for you ? So if your enemy is trying to plunder or pluck away that which belongs to you, God will work a miracle and redeem it for you. Therefore receive Jesus as your Saviour today, and walk in the fear of God, then He will work wonders in your life. He will re establish all that had been plundered by your enemy, and cause you to be a blessing. Is your job in a shaking manner, have you been sent out without proper notification, God will re establish you in the same job. May be right now you are standing empty handed, you feel there is no way to progress, no means to educate your children, or get them settled. You do not have enough income to manage your family. May be you are caught up in debts. Don’t you worry my Brother and Sister, Our father has gold and silver in his hands. God says, “ The silver is Mine, and the gold Is Mine.”Hence submit yourself in the Mighty hands of the Lord. For the Lord who does wonders has drawn close to you. He will not allow the fruit of your labour to be stolen by your enemies. The Lord will refresh the weary and satisfy the fainted. God Bless You.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for the power of Your intervention in our lives. Teach us to depend upon You completely and not make hasty decision. Help us to labour honestly and diligently. Bless the work of our hands. Prevent us from being exploited and manipulated by our enemies.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of John 20:15, Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away. “
From the above context we learn that there was a woman crying at the tomb of Jesus Christ. Having found that the body of Jesus was not in the tomb in which he was buried, she began to cry. She was called Mary Magdalene.
Once she was bound by seven fearful satanic spirit. She was locked up in a dark room and was crying like a mad woman. Her tears came in the presence of God. There were many other women who were enjoying outside, but because she was tied by seven spirits, she was in depression spending her time in loneliness. So Jesus came in search of her and met her. He drove away all those seven spirits that was inside of her. He made her a normal woman. He brought her out of darkness into the bright light.
Dearly Beloved, I see in my spirit some of you who are reading this message crying bitterly. Some problem is pressing your heart. Some might say, sorrow and pain has blocked my throat. So I cannot speak or utter any words. You have a place where you can cry out to. He is our Lord Jesus Christ. You can come to Him and tell your sorrows. Only He can understand your personal sorrows. He alone respects your pain and agony and helps in the struggles that you go through and help in your helpless situation.
While everybody had insulted Magdalene, it was Jesus who had come in search of her. He was a God who had helped her. He had wiped her tears, So she came to the sepulchre early in the morning. Being the third day she thought she could see at least his dead body and apply the frankincense on His body . She came with much earnestness and desire to see Jesus. But she could not see Jesus inside the tomb. Then she sat beside the sepulchre and started crying. There were other woman who came there like her. Not seeing Jesus there in the tomb, they returned. They did not wait there any further. Mary ran out and informed the disciples that she went to the tomb to see the body of Jesus but the tomb was empty. Jesus was not there. The disciples, who loved Jesus both John and Peter, rushed to the tomb and found the tomb empty. So they returned. But Mary alone stayed back. She decided not to return without seeing Jesus. She stood there by the tomb crying.
Having seen the earnestness of Mary and her longingness to see the Lord, He came and stood behind her and asked her, “Women Why are you crying? Whom are you seeking? Then she thought that he must be the gardener, so she asked him , Just tell me where you have kept my Jesus. I will go and take my Jesus.” I need my Jesus. I cannot think of my life without Jesus. She cried saying, “I need my Jesus.” She said to the gardener, “If you have taken him and hidden him anywhere you tell me, I will go and take him.”She had great passion for Christ. She had come to see Jesus. It was then that Jesus revealed Himself and called her Mary. She immediately recognized His voice and cried out Rabboni which is to say, “Teacher.”
She was the first person to have been blessed to see Jesus after His resurrection. The reason is because she decided, that she would not go, without seeing Jesus. She was crying adamantly. Jesus asked her “ Whom have come seeking for?” He knows, that she had come in search of Jesus, who had delivered her from the darkness to that great light.
Just as Mary Magdalene remained in the dark, many youngsters having been trapped by some evil spirit and are still remaining in the dark. And are always, crying and are wasting their future. Some of you are in tears because of them. Jesus who met Mary Magdalene is now watching you crying and telling that God who fulfilled Magdalene’s desire will today fulfil your desire too. Today He will fulfil the desire of your children. He is asking, why are you crying? Whom are you seeking for help ? Today in case you are searching, wandering and looking out for a job. God says, that He will provide your daughter and son with good jobs and comfort you as He comforted Magdalene. He will bless your daughter with a gift of a child who has been waiting for many long years, God will open her closed womb and bless her with child. God who wiped the tears of Mary Magdalene will wipe away the tears of each and every one of you, who search for Him. Search and you shall find. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. From this message we see the true love of Magdalene and her longingness to see Jesus. Lord give us the same desire to see Jesus and worship Him. May we not return like others from our search in seeking Jesus. Help us to wait till He comes, like Magdalene. Since she waited for Him she saw Him. Give us an opportunity to see Jesus.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
