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 2 Chronicles 20:20, “Believe in the Lord, your God, and you shall be established. Believe His prophets and you shall prosper.”
From the above context we understand that the prophets play an important role in the lives of many Children of God. The Bible speaks of many prophets.
There was a man from the mountains of Ephraim. His name was Micah. He had eleven hundred shekels of silver. His mother dedicated the silver to the Lord, on behalf, of her son, She wanted to make a carved image, and a moulded image, and they were kept in the house of Micah. In those days, there was no king, in Israel, so everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
At this point of time, there was a young man from Bethlehem in Judah. He was a Levite. He came to the house of Micah as he journeyed. Micah inquired all about his whereabouts, and learnt that he was the right person to perform rituals in his shrine. So Micah requested him to dwell with him and be a father and a priest and take care of his shrine, and house hold idols. The Levite agreed to stay with him and so Micah consecrated him made an Ephod and also agreed to pay ten shekels of silver per year.
The Danites were one of the 12 sons of Israel. They were seeking for an inheritance for themselves to dwell in. For until that day, their inheritance among the tribes of Israel, had not fallen to them. So the children of Dan sent five men to spy the land, and they came, to the house of Micah, and found the Levite ( the priest and prophet) who dwelt with Micah. They consulted with him about their journey. 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. ”So the five men departed and went to Laish.
Are you in a confused state like the Danites ? Are you still looking for a passage to go abroad. Or .do you still have doubt regarding your settlement in a foreign country? What is your problem? Look to God in Prayer. Seek His face. He will solve your problems. Just as God spoke to the tribe of Dan through the Prophet, God will speak to you through the Holy Spirit and direct your ways. The Danites went to the city of Laish and the people there helped them with all necessary things they needed to settle in that new land. The Danites found the Land safe and secure and peaceful. Later they over took the city of Laish and called the city of Laish, after the name of Dan, their Father, the son of Israel.
Similarly many approach me believing that when I inquire to the Lord regarding their problems, the Lord God who hears the prayer of all flesh will give them an answer. Many who were jobless have secured good jobs with high salary, through my intercession. For some God provided Visa to go abroad and settle in their desired haven. Many who approached me regarding their pending cases, were solved amicably and justice was shown or given to them. Families who were separated for many years were reunited by the grace of God, Many who did not have the gift of a child, were blessed with children, God opened their closed wombs and helped them conceive and bring forth children. Many such intricate problems like deliverance from evil spirit and healing from severe diseases were restored and cured, when I stood in the gap and prayed for those who came to me in tears, God wiped away their tears and turned their mourning into dancing. He put off their sack cloth and covered them with garment of gladness. May God’s name alone be glorified. I therefore urge you to honour the prophets and pray for them and their children, since they serve the Lord for the expansion of Gods Kingdom. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for appointing Prophets. So that they can intercede on our behalf and help to solve our problems. Bless them and their families. We see them as representatives of God. May they serve according to Your will more powerfully and strengthen them and enrich them for the glory 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 Genesis 46:2,3. “And God spoke to Israel in a vision at night and said, “Jacob! Jacob!” “Here I am,” he replied. “I am God, the God of your father,” he said. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.”
From the above context we learn that Jacob an old man was taking his journey and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. He was rather confused, whether to listen to his sons and move to Egypt or remain in Canaan. Because his sons had told him 13 years ago, that his beloved son, Joseph was dead, and that they had found his coat of many colours stained with blood. They had showed the coat stained with blood, to him and it was therefore confirmed that some wild animal must have killed him. Now after many years the same sons who told that Joseph was dead, now told him that Joseph was alive and was well placed in that nation of Egypt. There was a great famine in the land, so Jacob’s sons had gone to Egypt to buy grain. There they found Joseph in a very high position. placed as the Governor of Egypt. So they told their old father the good news that Joseph was alive and that he held a high post in that strange land, and had sent his chariots to bring his father Jacob to Egypt. But He was so confused in his mind. For he couldn’t believe his ears.
In order to confirm the fact that God was with Jacob He came to him directly and spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and He said, “I am God, the God of your father; do not fear to go down to Egypt, for I will make of you a great nation there. I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely bring you up again. More than 40 years before, when Jacob was about to leave the Promised Land, God spoke to him in a dream Now, when he was about to leave the land again, God again brought assurance through a dream “Do not fear to go down to Egypt:”’ As Israel was connected with what God did in the past he was assured of God’s plan for the future.
Being confident now he responded to God’s command and went along with his sons to Egypt where he was to experience great happenings, the joy of seeing his beloved son, Joseph whom he thought he would never, ever see, and also be blessed to establish his entire family in the land of Goshen, land of green pastures, as they were herds men. God told Israel what His purpose was in bringing this large family or clan down to Egypt. Israel’s descendants could grow as a large, distinct nation there. : The great reason Jacob did not need to fear the journey to Egypt was that God promised to bring him back to the Promised Land. God conveyed good news to him. All the bad news that he had heard all these years about his son came to an end.
God will bring good news to you also. So “ Never hesitate, to respond to the voice of God. while you are not sure that it is God’s will; but when once you are certain that it is according to the Lord’s mind, then you need not have any kind of fear. Go straight ahead, for that way lies your haven.” God is putting an end to all your confusion and doubts, on this day through this message. He is also bringing an end to all the bad news that you had been hearing about you and your children and instead God will help you hear good news. in future. He is reuniting many separated families, like that of Joseph and Jacob after many long years. The Bible says,” In all thy ways, acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your ways.”But as it is written , “For eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the hearts of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. What God did for Jacob was Amazing. He will do the same for you too. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for directing Jacob through vision. You assured him of his journey to Egypt. Reveal your ways unto us also that we might follow your steps with discretion. Help us to respond to the voice of God and be blessed like Jacob.
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 Lamentation 3:22,23, “Through the Lords Mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning. Great Is Your faithfulness”.
From the above context we understand that it is because of God’s grace that we are not consumed. We are alive. We live because of His grace. From the above verse we learn about God’s unfailing love. We see how Prophet Jeremiah’s thoughts are about God. God changes despair to hope when he thinks that, even in the darkest times, God is faithful and will not cast off His people forever. Every day, every morning, God shows His mercy and compassion.
Firstly the Lord’s “great love” abides even in times of trouble and divine judgment. Secondly God’s unfailing compassion is God’s withholding of a just punishment. The Bible says, Lord has pity on His suffering children; in fact, His mercies are new every morning. Jeremiah’s statement that God’s mercies are “new every morning” is related to the statement that follows: “Great is your faithfulness” God is unchanging, and His mercies toward Israel were unfaltering.
We thus realize that we are not consumed because of God’s grace. Satan is always trying all his efforts to destroy our peace joy and harmony in life. He is trying for an opportunity to destroy us completely. But the Lord has preserved our lives from his wicked schemes. The Bible says, the thief (Satan) does not come except to steal and to kill, and to destroy, but God came into this world to give us life and that we may have life, more abundantly. Satan does not want us to live in peace. He keeps creating new problems each day for us that we might fall and perish.
Satan has several plans to destroy us and He keeps implementing them upon us that we may fall into his snare. But God on the other hand is protecting us by His grace and mercy, from all the wicked plans of Satan. We see many who started off with us in the beginning of this year are no more with us. But if we are still alive, it is because of God’s sheer grace. It is God’s compassion that has preserved our lives. God wants to destroy all the evil works of Satan, and rescue us from His cruel hands.
We battle each day, with the works of the evil spirit on one side and the evil schemes and plans of our own kith and kin, Our friends and relatives who pretend to be so good on the outside, but keep working against us to see our fall. They are constantly working against us. They don’t like us doing well in our life like the Satan. They spurn us at times and cause wounds and hurt that remains as scars in our hearts and this damages our spirit and prevents our progress in our life. They indirectly work against us or hinder the progress of our children. They remain as invisible foes all through the course of our life. We are compelled to live in the midst of these foes throughout our lives. But we never ever realize that we are surrounded by foes. We are supposed to live and sustain ourselves in the midst of these people. But the Lord through His Mercies has not consumed us, for His compassions fail not. They are new every morning and Great Is His faithfulness.
God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. So don’t be afraid to face the challenges that confront you in life. Be bold in the Lord, Rejoice in the Lord always. Thank Him even in times of difficulty and He will change your sorrow into joy. He will change your shame into honour. He will comfort you and increase you on every side. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving Heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You, for Your compassion that fail not and your Mercy which is new every morning. Thank You Lord for protecting us from the cruel hands of Satan and also from the wicked schemes that work against our progress in our life by our own friends and relatives. Keep us, as the apple of Your eye. May we enjoy the favour and assurance of God each day in our life.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
My dear Brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed that God has given you for today is from the book of Psalms 33:9, ” For He spoke, and it was done. He commanded , and it stood fast”. Our God is a miracle–working God.When God steps in, there will be a miracle in your life and you will stand . Words written in the Bible have life and spirit of power in them. When people share their problems with me during the counselling session, I give them simple word from the Bible and they take hold of the word that not only restores them but also performs miracle in their life.
Here is an illustration of how Jesus performed a miracle in order to avert the shame of that family. Once Jesus and His disciples were invited for the wedding at Cana -in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was also there. Jesus went to the wedding to bless the couple. And when the family ran out of wine the mother of Jesus reported the matter to Jesus with the hope that He would do something good for the family. Because in those days it was considered a great shame if the wine was not served at the wedding. The family was about to go through shame but Jesus performed a miracle in order to avert the shame that had come upon the family. He ordered the servants to set up six water pots of stone. Then Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.”And they filled them up to the brim. Then Jesus said to them, Draw some water out now and take it to the master of the feast.
When the master had tasted the water that was made wine. He called the bridegroom and said to him, ‘Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.’ He did not know that Jesus had turned the water into nice tasty wine. (But the servants who had drawn the water knew). Jesus used words to perform a miracle. Such words remove shame in the life of the people and renew their life. Firstly He said “Fill the water pots with water.” Secondly He said, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”There was power in His word. When the servants served the water it turned into good and tasty wine. The water became tasty by the power of God’s word. That was sweeter than honey. The power of His words changed the very situation of that family. God gave them good name instead of their shame. There was great rejoicing in their family.
Today are you in troubled situation. Do not be worried. God will change your situation and there will be a great rejoicing in your life .
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You, for Your word that does wonders. You are a God of power and authority. Please help all those who are in trouble and are calling out to You for help. Change their shameful situation. Grant them joy and true happiness. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
Dearly beloved brothers and sisters 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 of Acts 3:8, “Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.
Everyone of us living in this world have various problems. The Psalmist says, “How lovely is your dwelling place.” The only place where your problem can be solved without any money is the temple of God. If there is a place that can give refuge for the people who have been forsaken by the doctors, it is the temple of God. When a man enters into the temple of God, he can encounter lovely experiences given by God. When you go into the temple of God, you see the Lord who can turn your painful life into a lovely life. God expects you to come into the temple of God that is kept open for you always.
One day Peter and John went to the temple of God for their ministry. When they went there, they saw a lame man sitting at the gates of the temple, begging. Acts 3:2 says that the man was lame by birth. He was made to sit at the gates of the temple to beg. As he was lame by birth, he was not able to run around and earn a living on his own. Looking at Peter and John, the beggar asked, “Sir, can you offer me some money,” Peter replied to him, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” He was begging only because he was stationed outside the temple of God. Therefore, Peter wanted the man to go into the temple so that he would be able to witness the wonders of the Lord. The very next moment the man stood up, walked, jumped and went into the temple of God praising Him. There were tears and sorrows until the day he was outside the temple of God. But from the moment he entered into the temple of God, the Lord filled him with joy and he came out of the temple with great gladness in his heart. When he went into the temple, God gave him the opportunity to work hard and earn on his own and also to live a good life.
My dearly beloved, when you go into the temple of the Lord, He will change all your painful situations into a lovely experience. You will also experience the wholeness of the blessings of the temple of God and you will be blessed with not only the Spiritual blessings, but also with the Earthly blessings too. Go to the temple of God and encounter wonderful experiences.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. I submit my dear children into Your loving hands. Lord You know the sufferings of my children. You are aware of all their problems. I pray that You may show mercy upon them and bring a change in their lives. Forgive them if they have done anything wrong. Help them to come to the temple of God and experience Your Love for them. Fill them with lovely experiences. In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
