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 1 Kings 8: 56, “Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His Good promise which He promised through His servant Moses.”
We see in the above context how God fulfilled His promise that He had made. We also come to know that none of His word had failed to accomplish its purpose for which it was sent. As we have entered into a New Year we need to thank and praise the Lord for all the good things that God had done in our lives. He has given us life and confidence to live a better life in the New Year. God gave a word to Solomon saying, “You will build a temple for Me in Jerusalem. And I shall build a palace for you. Just like God had told him the temple of Jerusalem had been built. Our God is a God, who does with His hands what He speaks through His mouth.
It was not just the wood, gold and silver and other materials that were provided by King David, for the construction of the Temple but above all things Solomon, the son of David, had the favour of God, to build the temple. Now having built the temple, He gives thanks to God and praises God for helping him build, the temple before all the people of Israel. He gives offerings of thanksgiving, on the day of dedication. The above words were uttered by Solomon on the day of dedication in the presence of the Lord. He says, Lord we thank You for fulfilling all the good promises, You have spoken through Your servant Moses.
Solomon says, Lord we thank You for fulfilling all that you have spoken over the people of Israel and finally You have given rest to Your people. And we thank You because not one word, that You have spoken, through the Prophet Moses has failed, in fulfilling its purpose. Not one word has fallen down. I would like to say, according to the Bible, that every word of God, will accomplish the purpose for which it was sent forth. It will not return back void. Some of you are thinking in your mind, Well God had promised many things in the beginning of 2020, but nothing has happened. You are so disappointed. While some of you are really praising for all that the Lord had done for you the whole of 2020, some of you say, He had failed to keep His word. Some of your needs are still pending, to be met by God. But God will never fail you. He will fulfil all that is pending in this New Year. God will surely hasten Himself, to perform, all that you need in your life.
May be last year, your daughter’s marriage has not happened as you expected. You couldn’t get your Visa to go abroad, last year, or you were not blessed with the gift of a child last year. You might have started building your house but you were unable to complete it due to various reasons. Even now nothing has gone out of your hand. God will fulfil all that you desire to have in this New Year. Believe that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think or pray for, according to the power that works in you. A flick of a second is enough for God to perform a blessing for you and make you rejoice in Him. Nothing is too hard for the Lord to do. For it is nothing, for God to help you, whether with many or with those who have no power. Therefore rest in God and put your faith in Him. Then He will do miracles for you. God Bless You.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for helping us to realize the greatness of God and for fulfilling, what you have spoken by your mouth. We believe with all of our heart that you will perform miracles for us in this New Year and help us see great days. Help us to restore all that we have lost in our life, that we may glorify God and praise Your Mighty name.
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 Romans 5:8, “ But God commends His love towards us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
God gave His only Begotten Son to die for us to redeem us from sins and this proves His love for us. – Christ died for sinners. He did not wait until sinners believed in Him to die for them. Christ died for us while we were still sinners. He died for us before we were saved, while we were still dead in trespasses and sins, while we were still enemies of God. God most certainly proves His own love for us for even while we were sinners, Christ died for us! God hates every kind of evil, but we have all sinned and gone short of the glory of God before Him and condemned. We were destined for everlasting destruction and without any hope in the world. And it was while we were in this sad and sorry state that God demonstrated how deeply He loved us.
God planned so much more for us through the death of Christ for we were justified and made righteous, sanctified and glorified. We were adopted as sons of God and predestined to become exactly like the Lord Jesus. God says, “Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee. He draws us close to Him by His love.” 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 Him. “God always wants to display His matchless love to each and every one of you . I wish to share the testimony of sister Thilagavathi who had been married and later divorced for various reason.
This sister attended our Anbarin Padathil Oru Naal Fasting Prayer Meeting and prayed earnestly because her case was under way and court hearing was about to happen soon. She was in great distress as to how the court verdict would turn out to be. And what would be the state of her life. But the Lord called her by name, Thilagavathy during the name calling session and assured that she would join her husband very soon. She couldn’t believe her ears. She happened to attend that meeting with her friend who took pity on her and brought her there. Adjacent week the court hearing came and sister Thilagavathy had been to the court. To her surprise her husband who came over there told her that he will withdraw the case and take her home. Sister Thilagavathy couldn’t believe her eyes, her joy knew no bounds. She is now living a very happy married life. God rebuilt her ruined life. It’s amazing to know how God works in the Life of His children. To those who have not settled in life as yet, God will settle you soon. The Lord will open the door of marriage for you. You will live a happy married life.
God loved David, who was once a shepherd boy and raised him as the king of Israel. He exhibited his friendly love to David by blessing him with a wise son Solomon. In the same manner God will bless you with children. Many of you are crying for a child, God will soon bless you and make you like a joyful mother of children. The Love of God has been poured upon you for you are very precious in His sight. God will also reunite broken homes and also enable those of you who are waiting to be settled, and are earnestly looking out for life partners, God will help you to settle soon and live happy married life. God is mindful of you and always wants to bless you. Just as God helped sister Thilagavathi, to rejoin her husband He will perform new miracles in your life. Therefore all you got to do is to surrender your life to Him. Believe in the Lord and you shall be saved. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Father we thank you for your everlasting Love and for rebuilding our ruined lives. We pray that you will bless our children with wisdom, prudence and good understanding. Thank You for sending Your son Jesus Christ, to die for us on the cross, even while we were sinners. Help us to seek God diligently all the days of our life.
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 Job 30:26, “Yet when I hoped for good, evil came. When I looked for light then darkness came.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above passage we do understand that Job being an upright man and was blameless, one who feared God and shunned evil. Such a man who was righteous before God expected good things to happen in his life. He knew that God is good and does well especially to His children. God has laid up goodness for them that fear Him. He believed that God has promised good things unto them both temporal and spiritual for godliness and godly men during this life and that which is to come. But Job was disappointed in his expectation for he says, “I hoped for good, but evil came. When I looked for light then darkness came.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, As we all know that evil came upon Job one after another. Even when in the height of his prosperity and because of repeated evil new afflictions came upon him by the order and direction of God. The Light of outward prosperity, such as he had earlier enjoyed had dwindled off. He had almost sought after and longed for the Light to continue in his life. He waited as any good men would want to be. Since Light is sown for them in the purposes and decrees of God. And hence one should wait for the springing of it up as the husbandman would wait for the springing up of the corn sown in the earth, and seeing that to the upright there arises light in the darkness. And though God hides His face from them, for a moment, he will have mercy on them and therefore should wait his time to be gracious to them. But Job waited for long time to no purpose.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, but the darkness of adversity, still thicker and darker and with no appearance of spiritual light and favour fell upon Job, that he could not discover the love of God to him. Job though disappointed still continued to exercise his complete faith upon God. Such that he never, ever sinned or charged God with wrong. The Bible says, in all this Job did not sin with his lips. His friends criticised him, even his wife rebuked him but he never faltered. He said, “Though He slay me yet, will I trust Him.” As a result God exalted him. The Lord restored Job’s losses, as he prayed for his friends and the Lord blessed the later days of Job more than his beginning. Job lived 140 years and saw his children and grand children for four generation. This is how God blesses those who put their trust in God.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, how about you ? Have you fixed your eyes upon God or is your faith on earthly people. The Bible says, It is better to trust in the Lord, Than to put confidence in man. On whom have you put your trust?
If you endure tribulation and count it all joy, when you fall into various trials then God will turn your curse into a blessing as God blessed Job. For God raises the poor out of the dust and lifts the needy out of the ash heap, that He may seat him with princes. With the princes of His people. Similarly the Lord will lift you up and when you commit your ways to the Lord and Trust also in Him He shall bring it to pass. Put your trust in Jesus. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Lord teach us to have adamant faith in God as Job did. May we apply his good nature in our life. Help us to bear our trials and afflictions with utmost patience. Thank you Lord for setting up Job as an example of endurance and longsuffering for us to follow in our life. Bless us Lord, as you blessed Job.
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 Psalms 23:5, “You prepare a table before me in the Presence Of my enemies.”
My Dear Brothers and Sister, from the above passage we come to understand that God is always, ready to prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies. Every good man has his enemies. He would not be like his Lord if he had no enemies at all. Yet we see the quietude of the godly man even in the sight of his enemies, and how refreshing is his calm bravery. And David was one such person. When a soldier is in the presence of his enemies, nothing seems to disturb him, there is no confusion, the enemy is at the door yet God prepares a table and makes you sits down and eats as if everything were in perfect peace. Oh the peace which Jehovah gives to His people even in the midst of the most trying circumstances is inexpressible.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, David experienced the fear of death. He was confronted by his enemies. King Saul was possessed by evil spirit. So David the son of Jessie was called to play music in his harp. And when David played his harp, he would be relieved of the evil spirit or the evil spirit would subside. Since, King Saul knew that David was anointed as the next king of Israel; he was jealous of him and wanted to kill him. So he threw his spear at him with the desire to kill him. But God saved him from the hands of King Saul several times. Not once, but he made many attempts to kill him. But the Lord was with David and therefore saved him from the hands of King Saul.
My Dear brothers and Sisters, similarly David and his body guard Abishai, for fear of Saul, went up the hill of Hakilah and hid themselves which faces Jeshimon, Knowing this, Saul with three thousand warriors , surrounded the hill in which David was hiding. So David could not come out of his hideout. He feared that he would be trapped by his enemies, So he cried out to the Living God. He lifted up his voice to God in prayer, asking God to save him from his enemies. The Lord heard his prayer and put king Saul and his three thousand men into deep sleep. Such that they never even noticed David take away the spear, and the jar of water, from Saul’s head. And they escaped from the cruel hands of their enemies. Thus God prepared a table before him in the sight of his enemies. This royal context explains the presence of David’s enemies, as observers at the feast, they almost mocked at him. But David trusted in God and God delivered him from the hands of his enemies at all times. And this victory was the feast David enjoyed before his enemies.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, the Lord will prepare a table even before you in the presence of your enemies. God will exalt your name in front of those who put you to shame. God will lift your name. He will increase you on every side and comfort you. People might have told that you would never arise from your fallen state. But God says, “Your enemies, will fall down but you will stand erect, and firm.” Hallelujah. ”God will suppress your enemies that rise up against you. Those who afflict you shall never rise up against you. You will search for them but you will never find them. This is the Lord’s doing and it will be marvellous to your eyes.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Thank you for protecting us and preparing a table before us in the presence of our enemies. Lord You hear us when we cry unto you. Grant unto us the grace to walk in the fear of God. Help us to be careful with our enemies. Never allow us to suffer in their hands. May we be victorious before them all the days of our life.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Who is our Creator, Maker, and Unforgettable God. I consider it my privilege and take pleasure in sharing the first message for this New Year 2021. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Deuteronomy 13:17, “ So none of the accursed things shall remain in your hand, that the Lord may turn form the fierceness of His anger, and show you mercy, have compassion on you, and multiply you just as He swore to your fathers.”
In the above context we see how Moses pleaded the Lord to show compassion and mercy to the people of Israel. In the same way I have pleaded to the Lord for your good cause. Since the whole world had experienced much sorrow and pain and agony because of Covid -19, and had suffered much, as some of you have lost your business, your dear ones, your jobs and many good things. Again there is a rumour about the second wave that could be more severe. So like Moses I have pleaded to the Lord that people cannot bear another pandemic, therefore to show pity and be merciful to the people who totally depend on God for their survival. And prophetically God told me that God will show pity on the people. Therefore do not be afraid. or dismayed over the things that are taking place because God is in control of you and your family.
Many of you are thinking in your mind will the New Year, be a year of peace. Will we enjoy liberty and security of life in the coming year? To such people the Lord says, in this New Year, “I will turn from the fierceness of my anger and show compassion on the people.
God wants to bless you with three kinds of Blessing.
Firstly He will be merciful to you. Secondly He will have compassion for you and thirdly He will multiply you. I would like to place these three blessings upon each one of you and bless you as you enter into this New Year 2021.
It is because of His love for you that He has taken pity on you. All that you have gained as you enter the New Year is your life and confidence. And this being your investment God is going to multiply you with what you have. In order to be safe and protected by God you need to obey the commandment of God. Do that which is good and pleasing to the Lord. Give up all that is evil and displeasing in the sight of God. We need to hear the voice of God. Then God will be considerate towards you. Never act in a manner so as to provoke God, set aside your old sinful nature and put on the new man, the nature of God. Then God will arise to do good to Zion for the appointed or set time has come to show favour to her. So open your heart to Him and He will live inside of you. Once you let Him in then there will be a great transformation in your life.
Secondly the Lord will arise for you, as he dealt with Ruth and Naomi who returned to Bethlehem the house of Bread. As soon as they entered many good things happened in their lives. Naomi who said “call me Marah was praised by the women of the town saying “ Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you this day without a near kinsman and may his name be famous in Israel, when Ruth got married to Boaz and gave birth to Obed and thus built a new generation. God provided food, livelihood, husband, a son, and also gave them peace and joy, similarly as you enter this New Year God will meet all your needs.
The Lord will not cast you off for ever. Though he causes grief He will have compassion on you. According to the multitude of His mercy, God will uproot the entire blockade that was a hindrance for your progress, last year. When you take an effort to change and mend your ways then God will show mercy on you. A woman of Canaan pleaded God to heal her daughter. God took pity on her and healed her daughter. A man pleaded God to show mercy on his son who was possessed with demonic spirit. God took pity and delivered his son from, the demonic spirit. Two blind men came not knowing where to go and pleaded the Lord for mercy. The Lord touched their eyes and gave them sight. Our God proved to be a God of mercy and Compassion. He rises to save them to the uttermost. Today the Lord will show compassion to you and will save you.
Finally the Lord will increase you day by day. The Bible says, “ David, went on and became great. And the Lord of Hosts was with Him”’ This David was a shepherd boy despised by his father and brothers. But since he praised the Lord while he was tending the sheep over the mountains and hills God took pity on him and exalted him to that of a king in Israel. In the New Year instead of murmuring against God, keep praising Him with songs of praises then you will experience an elevation in your life for God lives in the midst of praises. Then the walls of Jericho will fall, the river Jordan will go behind, and even if the Red sea should stand before you God will make a way for you by dividing the sea into two. God will break all the barriers that stand before you and will go before you and make way to prosper you. He will lead you to a land flowing with milk and honey the land of Canaan. You will be great like David. God will bless you and your descendants after you as He blessed David and His son Solomon after him, to sit on the throne. I wish you and your family a happy and prosperous New Year. God bless you.
Prayer. Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Father, we bless and thank You for all the blessings you have poured upon us. We thank you Lord for preserving our lives in the year 2020 which was a horrible year and we pray that you will continue to bless us in the New Year. May we increase our faith in You and improve the pattern of our prayer life. Help us to give up all ungodliness and become more righteous and God fearing in our lives. Lord may we taste and see that the Lord is good all the time. Even though he causes grief, yet He will show compassion on us. Restore to us all that we had lost in 2020 and bless us with joy peace and prosperity as we enter the New Year. Help us to be pleasing to God and do that which is good in His sight. Help us to refrain ourselves from all evil thoughts and deeds and live a life pleasing to God.
In Jesus’ name we pray,
AMEN.
