My dear Brothers and sisters in Christ, 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 Psalms 119:67 “Before I was afflicted I went astray.”
The above verse explains the way God has dealt, with us. He has dealt with us better than we deserve, and all in love. Many have knowledge, but have little understanding about the snares of Satan. And therefore fail to protect themselves from its attack. Therefore some tend to deviate themselves from God when life is all comfortable in the world.
When this happens, instead of this deviation from God we must accept and say “Lord thou art our bountiful benefactor, incline our hearts to faith and obedience.” The proud are full of the world -its wealth and pleasures; these make them senseless, secure and stupid. That is why the Psalmist says, It is good for me to have been afflicted that I might learn thy statutes.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Thus we see that when we fall into severe problems that can only be fixed by God then we begin to look up to Him, then we cry to Him, then we search for Him. What the enemy meant for good, God will turn it around and use it to draw you close to Him. He cares for you. He loves you, So he died for you that you might live with Him forever. Therefore submit yourselves unto God. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you for helping us to understand why we go through troubles and trials. Make us to understand that when we face trials we must draw more close to you. Thank you for shaping and making us as instruments according to your plan. Teach us to overcome trials through Your Strength. 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 word that God has given you for today is from the book of Isaiah 58:8 “Then shall thy light break forth, as thy morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily, and thy righteousness shall go before thee, the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward.”
The Lord directed me to tell you that He is going to do mighty things for you as you are reading this message, with much eagerness. Your heart is longing for something new in life. Will not God bring about a change in my life? Won’t I live happily like others? When will all my problems come to an end? These are some of the questions with which you are reading this message today. Well let me tell you that the Lord is so concerned about you. You are reading this message with great expectation. And you have great faith that one day a change will happen in your life, and you will see the break of dawn.
All these days, you have experienced a lot of sufferings. Lot of ill feelings, burdens, lot of debts, lot of shame. You may have been facing many losses in your life. There might have been the death of your loved one. You are unable to bear the separation of your loved one. Or your son or daughter would have put you to shame due to their bad behaviour. You might have lost your good job, or you were suspended from your job for some silly reason and you are going through shame and humiliation before others. You seem to have lost all hope and you think “Will God really remember me and my problems? Has God forgotten me forever? My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I tell you, God has not forgotten you. The Bible says, God remembers us in our lowly state. God has a plan and a purpose for you. Until today no one would have come forward to help you. But from this day you will find a change. God honours your faith. He is going to entrust you with greater responsibilities, with greater wealth and bless you with a good family and children. God says, all your children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children. The days of withering, will come to an end. And you shall re -bloom in the future. All your sorrows will turn to joy. All the curses of your family is coming to an end and you shall experience only blessings. In your family life, in your business or in your ministry God will help you to shine.
As the sun breaks and pierces through the thick cloud. And appears bright and clear for man to see and enjoy so will your life be. Others who put you to shame will see you do well in life, in the coming days. Just as grass springs out of the earth soon after the rain, your life will bloom says the Lord. So ready is God to help you when you are truly humbled. God will recover all your former prosperous condition
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank You for assuring us of your presence in our life. We believe that You will bring better days in life. Teach us to do good works and be just and righteous in our life. Help us to endure patiently when things go wrong in our life. Not to blame You or hurt You in any way, rather trust You at all times.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen
God exalts the diligent. My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, 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 Proverbs 22:29 “Do you see a man who excels in his work. He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men.”
From the above context we observe how a diligent man excels in his life. Some of you who are reading this message are struggling in life. You may not have a proper job. Therefore you are not able to settle in life. Just as God blessed Joseph with a small job and he began his life with a small beginning, God is going to provide you with a good job. It may be a small beginning but don’t despise the small beginnings in life and God will lift you up to a higher level.
Many of you who are reading this message have been waiting too long a time for a good promotion. God who gave promotion to Joseph in Potiphar’s house will also grant you promotion. Some of you are crying saying you are unable to receive a good name from your authorities, even though you have worked hard under them for many years. You are saying that you are doing all the hard work but someone else is enjoying the benefit of your hard labour. You are wondering if a change will take place in your life. Some say that your boss has not recognized your hard efforts for the company. Your master has failed to observe your hard work until this day therefore you have not obtained any promotion. Well God says, just as Potiphar observed the good work of Joseph, soon your authorities too will begin to observe your hard work. God will help him to see that it was by his hard work that his company or business was successful.
God is breaking all the barriers that stand in the way of securing a good job. Through you, God will bless your master and grant you fame and praise among all the peoples of the city, town or country. Therefore commit your ways unto the Lord trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord bless our work as You blessed the labour of Joseph. May our mater observe and appreciate our hard effort that we take. Grant us promotion and help us to stand before noblemen and Princes. Teach us never to despise our small beginnings but strive hard and be successful in 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 James 1:2 “ Count it all joy when you fall into various trials.”
From the above context we come to understand that the Lord wanted His disciples to count it all joy when they go through trials. As the Lord was about to leave them and suffer persecution he encouraged the disciples to stand fast in the faith. He knew that they would be like scattered sheep without the shepherd once He leaves them. The disciples actually loved Jesus and they couldn’t bear to know that soon He was going to depart from them. He also told them that there would be tribulation and sufferings once he departs from them.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Similarly the Lord is speaking to you through this message that there will be problems, trials and temptation in this world. But the Lord encourages you by saying that one should count it joy when you fall into various trials in your life. For God is telling you today that there will not be a single person who will not go through affliction. And nobody will be able to say, that there is no problem in their life. They may be eminent industrialist, popular politician, or Chief Minister, Prime Minister, or President, whoever they might be, they will have some problem or other.
Do you know why you go through trials? If not you will have no fear whatsoever. You will do what you like, and will live however you may please. Therefore in order to keep a check over your life the Lord allows trials and testing. That you may turn to God for help. Cry out to Him whenever you go through hardships. God wants you to hope in His mercy. For He will neither leave you nor forget you. He holds you in the palm of His hand. Your walls are ever before Him.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Help us to be careful in our walk of life. May we be pleas able in Your sight. Teach us to fear You at all times. Give us the ability to bear the affliction cheerfully, and to count it joy when we go through trials. Help us to stand fast in the faith, be strong and bold for God and His purpose. 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 Isaiah 59:19 “When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.”
From the above passage we learn that God will make His justice upon the enemies of his children. When the enemy threatens to bear down all, without control then the Spirit of the Lord shall stop him and put him to flight. This passage means God would come to deliver his people, and chase his foes by a violent rush of floods, and drive them away by a mighty wind. When the enemy comes in with terror, with violence, and with allies like a flood, God will rear a standard against him. God will go forth with energy, and power, to defend his people, and to prostrate his foes.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Somebody might have been attacking you, or your daughter or your son in one way or another. And as parents you are weeping over your children. Therefore you are worried about them and their future But God is looking at you and saying, that no one will be able to shoot an arrow, either on you or your family. Just as God fulfilled what he said to King Hezekiah by his word through the prophet Isaiah, God will fulfill what he has promised to you and your children. God who uprooted all the plans of King of Assyria, and showed favor to King Hezekiah, Similarly all those who try to shoot arrows at you, or your children, or cause trouble to you through sorcery and witchcraft, God is today nullifying all their plans, and destroying all their evil intentions towards you and will show his favor to you and your children.
Just as the weapons of the Assyrian army could not prevail, against King Hezekiah no weapon that is aimed at you shall prosper. There may be an unknown enemy at your workplace, who has planned to cause trouble to you due to jealousy and is always coming around you in order that he might kill you. Or there may be an enemy in your own business who wants to destroy you. Or someone has engaged or appointed a gang to destroy you and your family because of enmity. But God says none of them shall come near unto you, or cause trouble to you. It is true that they had planned to attack you but God prevented them from causing damage or any injury to you. Nothing shall harm you. No evil shall befall you. They will neither attack you with spear or shield or any other form of weapon.
You shall never see the enemies who came after you. You shall search for them but you will not find them. Because they who came to destroy you shall return in the same way they came. God who delivered David, Daniel and Joseph from the hands of their enemies, will also deliver you from your enemies. God says, “ I will be a strong support to you.” God will destroy every weapon formed against you. When you cry to him in prayer, He will answer you. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Thank You, Lord for alerting us through this message, that You will save us from the hands of our enemies. Help us to have peace within our family, our business, our work spot, in our studies, and our ministry. Thank You, Lord for Your strong support.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
