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 Psalm 133:1, “ Behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.”
From the above context we come to understand that God expects all the brothers to dwell in unity and harmony. God commanded His blessing to descend upon those who dwell together in unity. Just as there is joy when you come into the tabernacle because of the presence of God, likewise there should be joy and blessing when you gather all the brethren into your house. The brothers living together in unity was part of Christ’s prayer, just before His walk to Calvary. In his advancing years the apostle John pleaded, saying, “Little children love one another.” Paul calls us to be of the same mind toward one another maintaining the same love, united in spirit and intent on one purpose .
This is a song of David, we discover king David rejoicing, and singing in his heart by faith with thanksgiving: saying “How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony.. For it refreshes the soul and is a sweet fragrance that ascends to the Lord and glorifies His holy name. This was one of the songs of ascent that Israel would sing to the Lord with joy in their hearts, as they advanced on their pilgrimage to Jerusalem. This was a hymn of praise that would echo throughout the land of Israel, as God’s people travelled towards their sacred destination.
David compares the unity of brethren like the precious oil poured upon the head that runs down the beard of Aaron, running down the edge of his garment. David further describes the unity of brethren, to the, dew of Hermon, that descends upon the mountains of Zion, for it is there that the Lord commanded the blessing, of life evermore. We too are on our own march towards our heavenly home, but every step we make toward that day when the Lord takes us to be with Himself, should be a day when we live together with our brothers and sisters in Christ in gracious harmony and godly unity. Unity does not imply uniformity. In all our dealings there should be a godly spirit of unity and love. There should be a patient, kindness, gracious love, that comes only from the indwelling Spirit of Christ.
Many of you reading this message may not be in good terms either with your brother or sister for various reasons. The Bible says, one who hates his brother without a cause is more like a murderer. So it is high time to forgive your brother or sister, or anyone else in your family. They might have caused you much misery and trouble yet God expects you to forgive them. Because when you forgive them God will forgive you of your wrong doings. It is hard to forgive others but this is what God expects of you. Even while He was on the cross. Jesus cried out to His Father, saying “Father Forgive them for they know not what they are doing.”Call your brother or sister, today. Wish them and inquire about their wellbeing, never hoard bitterness against anyone. The Bible says; speak no evil of your brother. Invite your dear ones home and have feast along with them. God will appreciate your good will toward them. Then your home will experience real peace, joy and happiness. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lordwe pray that we may learn to live together with all our brothers and sisters in godly love and unity, and to You be praise and glory. Protect us from wanton discord, disunity or division and help all our children to stand firm in the faith, offered to us through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has caused us to be united together in Him. Help us not to have anger or hatred towards others. But be gentle and kind in our behaviour. Teach us to be of help to others.
In Jesus name we pray,
AMEN.
I greet and bless you in the matchless name of our Maker and Creator Jesus Christ who has never forgotten us! Even today, we are going to meditate on the word Psalms 46:1, “God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble”.
Standing in the middle of the Red sea, the Israelites called out to God. The Lord came down in a mighty way to sustain them (Exodus 14:25). It was a risky situation. The Israelites were terrified of the Red sea in front of them and the mighty Pharaoh’s armies chasing them from behind. But God came down to support them. He drowned the Egyptian army in the Red Sea and saved the Israelites (Nehemiah 9:11). Are you stranded in the middle of the Corona calamity, Economic degradation, and predicament of debt without a means of escape? Cry out to him saying, “Jesus please help me. I need your assistance. I am hopeless and doomed without you”. He will have mercy on you right now and will deliver you by chasing away your enemies, diseases, and death. You and your children will find a haven in the ark called Jesus.
Psalms 50:15 says, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” (Psalms 50:15).
Yes , when you call upon Him, you will be delivered. Isaiah 31:5 says, Like Birds Hovering Overhead, The Lord Almighty Will Shield Jerusalem; He Will Shield It and Deliver It, He Will ‘Pass Over’ It and Will Rescue It”(Isaiah 31:5). According to this verse the Lord will preserve you.
May God bless you.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, We thank you for this blessed day. I pray that everyone who reads this message seeking deliverance from their troubles be delivered from their problems. You be their Helper and help them in times of trouble. Let them always cling unto you.
In Jesus name we pray
Amen.
I greet and bless you in the matchless name of our Maker and Creator Jesus Christ who has never forgotten us! Even today, we are going to meditate on the word Psalm 119:17, “Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.”
In David’s life, there was many a slip between the cup and the lip. He could not get the royal position he was ordained for. Instead of forfeiting the kingship, his father in law Saul, due to jealousy was plotting to kill David. But God intervened in this matter as He wanted to grant him success. The next instant Saul fell upon his sword and died (1 Chronicles 10:4). The God of success exalted David to the position of King and enabled him to rule Israel for 40 years.
The same God is coming to grant you success in your workplace. He will contend for you (Psalms 35:1); He will fight for you (Exodus 14:14); He will perfect everything for you (Psalms 138:8). Today He will bring all your unemployment woes and poverty to an end. He will intervene in all situations where there was a slip between the cup and the lip. You will not borrow anymore but will lend to many nations (Deuteronomy 28:12). Do not be anxious.
Secondly, God will make all your journeys successful. So, they said to him, “Please inquire of God, that we may know whether the journey on which we go will be prosperous.” And the priest said to them, “Go in peace. The presence of the Lord be with you on your way.” (Judges 18:5,6)
Five men of valour from the tribe of Dan came together and took an initiative. When they saw that the people of Laish town lacked nothing (Judges 18:10) they decided to relocate there. Seeking Godly counsel in this matter, they searched for Micah the Levite and went to his house and told him their desire. “Would God make our journey successful?” – was what they wanted to know. Micah prayed and said, “Go in peace. The presence of the Lord be with you on your way.“Taking heed to this word, the five men departed and went to Laish”. And they settled happily. Likewise, children of God, if you are expecting new opportunities, journeys into new countries it will succeed. Visa problems will change. God will intervene and change unfavourable government laws and make you succeed. PR and Green card applications will be reviewed.
God aided Eleazar’s journey and made it successful when he went in search of a girl to Rebecca’s home, by removing all the barriers in Abraham’s house and finalising the marriage. Similarly, there will be miracles in your life as well. May Glorious occasions be spoken of in your family (Psalms 87:3). God removed Rebecca’s shame of 20 years of barrenness with twins in a single pregnancy (Genesis 25: 21-24). Likewise, God will promote you to becoming a father, mother by giving you the gift of a child. Let all your problematic court cases be solved favourably. Take Jesus with you everywhere. You will always have success. Amen.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, We thank you for this blessed day. I pray that you will bless the works of the hands of your children and give them success in their lives. Help them by providing your divine counsel to plan their future/career carefully and wisely. Watch over them and lead them in your path.
In Jesus name I 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 Psalms 112:2. “His Descendants will be mighty on earth. The generation of the upright will be blessed. “
From the above context we learn that God blesses the descendants of the Righteous. In the above verse we see that “His seed shall be mighty upon earth,” His Seed refers to the children of the Upright, This means that the successive generations of God fearing men shall be strong and influential in society, and in the latter days they shall have dominion. The true seed of the righteous are those who follow them in their virtues, even as believers who are the seed of Abraham, because they imitate his faith; and these are the real heroes, the truly great men among the sons of Adam. It must be admitted that the children of the godly are not all prosperous, nor all famous. Nevertheless, he who fears God, and leads a holy life, doing the best he can for the future advancement of his house; and, taking matters for all in all, the children of the righteous man commence life with greater advantages than others, and are more likely to succeed in it, in the best and highest sense.
The generation of the upright shall be blessed. The race of sincere, devout, righteous men, is kept up from age to age, and ever abides under the blessing of God. The godly may be persecuted, but they shall not be forsaken; the curses of men cannot deprive them of the blessing of God, for the words of Balaam are true, “He hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it.” Their children also are under the special care of heaven, and as a rule it shall be found that they inherit the divine blessing. Honesty and integrity are better cornerstones for an honourable house than mere cunning and avarice, or even talent and push. To fear God and to walk uprightly is higher nobility than blood or birth can bestow.
If anyone should desire to leave behind him a flourishing posterity, let him not think to accomplish it by accumulating heaps of gold and silver, and leaving them behind him; but by rightly teaching his descendants, to recognise God and to serve Him; and commending his children to the guardianship and protection of God. For God says, the generation of the upright their family; their children — shall be blessed. Very few believe it, yet is it true, that those who walk upright before God , hath better fruits than witty projecting and cunning catching. It is probable that Lot thought of enriching his family when he chose the fertile plains of wicked Sodom, yet the event was very different; but Abraham on the other hand, “feared the Lord, and delighted greatly in his commandments,” and his descendants were “mighty upon earth.” And thus it will generally be, with the posterity of those who imitate the father of the faithful; and their disinterested and liberal conduct shall prove, in the event, a far preferable inheritance laid up for their children, than gold and silver, houses and lands, would have obtained.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Many people who are reading this message may be going through tribulation, and affliction, and they sometimes wish to end up their life. They think what is the use of living ? They consider themselves as failures. They find it hard to live because of the pressure mounting upon them. Especially those who suffer from huge debts. If you lose hope, just because of debts, then the death of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary will become meaningless. Jesus died that you might live. And he became poor that you might become rich. Surrender your lives to Him and He will change your situation. Walk uprightly before the Lord. Give up all cheap and ungodly behaviour and always put on the garment of righteousness. Consider the poor and the widow. Be humble and polite with others. People from outside should recognize you as a peculiar person separated for God and His Glory, then you and your descendants will be blessed upon the earth. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Father we thank you for helping us to understand that we need to walk uprightly in order that our children might be blessed. We thank God for His promise that our descendants will be blessed. And that they will be mighty on the earth. There cannot be a greater joy than to see our children being blessed upon this earth. Help us to grow them in the right way and in the fear 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 Isaiah 40:4 , “Every valley shall be exalted. And every mountain and hill shall be made low. The crooked places shall be made straight. And the rough places smooth. ”
From the above context we come to understand that God will exalt the low valleys, and straighten all the crooked places of our life. He will smoothen the rough places and elevate the low levels of our life.
Every valley shall be exalted – That is, every valley, or low piece of ground, shall be filled up so as to make a level highway, as it was done in order to facilitate the march of Israel armies. It means simply that the impassable valleys were to be filled up so as to make a level road for their safe journey. The army had to march through the valley and the mountain side. The general idea is that all obstructions were to be removed, so that the march would be without embarrassment. This is also applicable to the opinions, habits, conduct, in the pride, self-confidence, and irreligion of the nation that would prevent cordial relationship among the Israelites and others surrounding nations. So every mountain had to be levelled. They shall be dug down so as to make the journey easy. And when the eastern princes marched through desert countries, ways were prepared for them, and hindrances were removed.
Satan is the strong man armed; but our Lord Jesus is stronger; and He shall proceed, and do all that He purposes to do for you in your life. Christ is the good Shepherd; He shows tender care for His sheep. God will strengthen that you May know your Shepherd’s voice, and follow Him, proving yourselves as His sheep. God is mindful of you. He loves you. You are precious in His sight. Therefore He always sends His angels to protect you, that your foot may not slip. He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
God has put a mark on your foreheads. The seal of God is on your forehead. The Lord says that He will make you like a signet ring and has chosen you to be His own to be His priceless possession. To be His signet ring which means we are in a covenant with God. When we walk with God in right perspective, then we will receive all the blessings. Your descendants will also be blessed. You will prosper in every area of your life. Never think that you are finished when you are caught up in the midst of problems. Never think you have come to the end of your life because of your problems. God is able to make a new beginning in your life. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. We thank You for lifting us from every difficulty (valley), of our life and exalting us to a higher level. Lord You level the road for our safe journey through the valley and the mountain side. And You have straightened the ‹crooked‘ and rough places that we may enjoy the goodness of God in the land of the living. Thank You Lord for solving all our problems that was like mountains in our life.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
