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 Proverbs 23:18, Surely there is a hereafter, and your hope will not be cut off.
The above verse encourages us in the Lord, to fix our hope on the Lord Jesus Christ. King Solomon in his proverbs expresses our necessity to put our hope in the Lord. And also says that a bright future is ahead of you. Therefore do not lose your hope in God or become frustrated in your life when you go through afflictions, trials or problems because God is in control of your life.
The force of expectation is a very powerful force in the spirit. Today I want you to know, that whatever you are expecting will surely come to pass. If you expect it, you will surely get it. And if you are not expecting it, you will not get it. If you will be all that God wants you to be in life you must not just believe God for his promises in your life. You must begin to consciously expect those promises. There is a supernatural, force that draws whatever you are expecting towards you. If you expect something that is right, based on the promises of God, then you will have your expectation. The Bible says, the expectation of the poor shall not be forgotten.
Many people get into trouble because they get what they expect, but what they get is not what God wants to give them. Most of the time we expect what the devil wants to give us. If your expectations are directed towards what God has promised you in His word you will always, have Gods promises come to pass in your life. The prosperity of the wicked is usually for a short time. And the afflictions of the righteous are for a moment, but the end of a good man will be peace and prosperity. God says, For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, thoughts of peace, and not of evil. To give you a future and a hope. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Father we pray that You will help us to maintain a positive expectation every time and every situation of our life. We thank you, because there is a hereafter and our hope will not be lost. Teach us to put our hope in God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
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 Ecclesiastes. 3:11, “ He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts. Except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.”
God has made everything beautiful in its time. God made everything and there is a beauty in them all. He upholds all things; He governs and orders all things according to the counsel of his will. Some things are done immediately by Him. Some He does when its need arises. But whatever he does there is a beauty and harmony and all are ordered to answer the wisest and greatest purposes, and everything is done in the time in which He wills, that it should be done. And He does it in the time most fit and suitable for it to be done.
All natural things are beautiful in their season; things in summer, winter, spring, and autumn; frost and snow in winter, and heat in summer; darkness and dews in the night, and light and brightness in the day; and all that He works together for good; are like Joseph’s coat, of many colours, extremely beautiful, as are all the providences of God to men. The capacity of men is so small, and life so short, that they cannot find out all the works of God. In fact they do not live to see them finished, and therefore cannot find them out, For God has put something “hidden”, so that they cannot be perfectly known. Such is the greatness of God and His creation. History and science has divided man’s life into three divisions. Namely the past, the present and the future. We actually see several ages or phase of life that one experiences within a particular span of life. But God says, it does not matter how long the period of ages might be. But He has made everything beautiful in its time. Hallelujah!
Dearly Beloved is there anything undone in your life? Are you expecting for something to happen in your life? Well remember that the Lord will perfect that which concerns you. Nothing is too hard for the Lord to perform. He will perform a miracle for you. Therefore kindly put your faith on Him and He will fulfil the desires of your heart. For He performs what is appointed for you. Prophetically God says, that you feel, as if there is nothing perfect in your family. So you seem to say, “ If only my husband was perfect my children would have been fine. But because he drinks and uses bad language, now even my children have become bad and they use bad words. Since there is no perfection in my family I am suffering so much in my life.” Saying so, many of you are reading this message in tears.
Instead of producing the fruit of the spirit, they are living in their own ways, and as they wish. They don’t even come to church. But today God will change them, even your husband. From today God is going to perfect everything in your family, in your life. He will set right all the ups and down in your family. He will straighten all that is crooked in your life. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think or pray, according to the power of the Holy Spirit that works in us. He heals the broken hearted and sets the captive free. Therefore turn to God and be blessed.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You Lord for having made everything beautiful in its time. You are the creator of all things, a great and mighty God. For by You all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible. Lord perform what is appointed for us that we may lack nothing. Help us to enjoy the creation of God and live in harmony.
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 Luke 7:3,14, “When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her, and said to her, “Do Not Weep.”Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you. Arise”.
From the above context we understand that Jesus had compassion on the widow. She had lost her only son, and there was no one to take care of her. She was weeping over the death of her beloved son. Jesus was touched by her pitiable situation, as she was walking behind the men carrying the coffin of her son to the burial place.
Jesus and his disciples were followed by a large crowd. They came to Nain, a Galilean town not far from Nazareth. As they were about to enter, they encounter or saw a funeral procession that was presumably on its way to a place of burial outside the city. Jesus approached the body of a young man being carried on a bier , a structure that allowed for the transport of a body or coffin for burial. Jesus commands the young man lying dead to rise, and he did rise. . With great reverence, the crowd praised God and exclaimed that a great prophet had come among them, with news of what Jesus had done spreading far and wide.
Jesus responds to the need of a widow, whose only son had died and had compassion on her. The most touching detail of the widow, was that he was her only son and this highlights her difficult situation. Without a husband and now without any son to support her, it is very likely that she is now or will soon be financially destitute. The story suggests that her sole means of support had been taken away from her. That is why when Jesus saw her situation, “his heart went out to her”. The compassion of Jesus was fuelled by the widow’s plight, for in the ancient world it was the case that people depended on their children after their retirement. . First, the crowds who were with Jesus were filled with awe and praised God, saying, “God had come to help his people.”
The incident reveals something more that than just a funeral. On the bier was the only child of a widow. She was now left undefended. It was the bereft mother who drew the compassion of Jesus. In spite of the laws of ritual purity, Jesus laid His hands on the bier, and gave the man back to his mother. His heart was touched by human misery. The compassion which can invade our hearts at the time of the death of a young person was also in Jesus’ heart for a young widow. He wanted to reach out to her, hold her to his heart and make her life better. This is the same with any suffering we have. The raising up of this young son is a symbol of how Jesus raises us when we are down. The compassion of his heart lets us know that we are understood, accepted and welcomed in the loving heart of God. .
Jesus gave the widow and her son another opportunity to live. When Jesus could comfort all the people that flocked around him by this miracle and rejuvenate their life will He not comfort and console you? He will comfort you. Be encouraged in the Lord He will surely comfort you, because just when the widow thought she had lost everything in life everything was restored back to her. If someone reading this message might have lost their loved one because of Corona Virus, let him/her be encouraged in the Lord through this message. For however dangerous your problem might be remembered you have Jesus beside you to strengthen and revive you. In times of darkness, let us remember that Jesus, the great prophet hailed by the mourners, is still with us – yesterday, today and forever. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for Your compassion shown to the widow in the town of Nain. Thank You for restoring her son back to life and giving her another opportunity to live. Help us also when we go through such troubles. Comfort us too. Stretch out Your loving hand to help us in difficult situation. Let your power engulf us in times of distress. And when we are liberated we will glorify your 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 2 Corinthians -8:9 “ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He Was Rich, yet for your sakes, He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.”
From the above context we understand that our Lord Jesus Christ, who created the heaven and the earth, and who said, that the Earth is the Lords, and the fullness thereof, was hanging on the cruel cross of Calvary as a man of poverty. He is a God who possessed both gold and silver in his hands. But he was hanging on the tree for you and me. Though He was rich He became poor that we might be rich.
Apostle Paul had been commenting positively on the good works that were being carried out by the Corinthian believers. He was also emphasising about the motive behind the generous things they were doing. He encouraged them in their generosity and the grace within the community that he began to draw an astonishing comparison with the great and generous grace that God had bountifully poured out upon all humanity through our Lord Jesus Christ, for though He was rich beyond all measure, yet for our sakes He became poor, so that by His poverty He could make us rich, beyond our wildest imaginings.
All things were made by Him – all the riches of the earth and the wealth of sky – the treasures of the oceans and the bountiful resources of the vast universe – all things were made by Him. All these unimaginable riches and the glories of His elevated heavenly status were laid aside simply because of His GRACE towards us. All the inconceivable and vast riches of His glory were set aside for your sake and for mine and He stripped Himself of everything – and became so poor that He did not even have a place to rest His head.
Though He was the Creator of the universe He was born into a human race. He came into a fallen world that was lying in the hands of the evil one, a world that was in bondage by satan, and the Son of God gave up all his glory for love of you and for love of me, so that by His deep poverty we might become rich. Jesus was rich and secure in the glory of heaven. He willingly became poor when He became a man, entering into the world of suffering and death in the flow of time on earth. He did this in order to die for the sins of humanity so that all who trust in Him can be forgiven of their sin and one day experience the wealth and security of living in glory with God.
Have you realized that Jesus died for you. He wanted to set you free from your debts, from your disease, from your lack of joblessness, from your childlessness, from your fear, stress, mental agony, from your poverty and make you rich. He says, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things, and be in health just as your soul prospers. ”The Bible says, Both riches and honour comes from You, ( God) and You rule over all, And in Your hand is power and might, and it lies in your hand, to make great and to strengthen everyone. ”And this God who is rich became poor and died on the cross outside the city gate in order to make you rich and prosperous. Will you turn from your wrong doings and receive Him as your Saviour, Lord and Master of your life? You will regain all that you have lost and be successful in your life. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord Your Grace and Love is great towards us. You became poor that we should become rich. You hung on the cross forsaken by God the Father, to save our soul from the mouth of the grave. Therefore we thank You Oh Lord. You stripped Yourself of all that You had to live a life of humiliating poverty, so that we could be saved from our sin and become rich. Help us to realize Your great sacrifice and live pleasing unto You.
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 1 Kings 3:9, “ Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy, so great a people? ”
From the above context we understand that Solomon the son of King David was about to be crowned, the king of Israel, after his father, King David. He wondered how he would lead so great a multitude of people. He was quite timid and innocent when he came to the throne. So he asks God to give him an extraordinary wisdom, to rule the people of Israel.
Many of you are struggling to manage your family, your business, and your workers in your office, why you are unable to manage your wife and children at times. They create such problem that makes you sick of them. They cause such atrocities within the family which often go beyond your control. And you feel helpless and unmanageable to deal with them. Therefore you need wisdom to run your family smoothly and even other concern that are under your control. So today you are reading this message with great expectation, as to what the Lord has in store for you or an answer to your problems.
The Lord is going to bless you with abundance of wisdom since you lack wisdom and proper understanding to manage your family, your business, and all other matters concerned with you. He wants you to maintain a peaceful and comfort life. The wisdom that God gives you would help you to; regain all that you had lost in your life. Wisdom will never bring destruction in your life, It will only provide better life or better living conditions. Therefore you need to ask God for wisdom today itself. Never postpone your request before God. No one should boast of his wisdom, or think he is a wise person and does not need any advice , correction, or counselling. Instead you ought to plead for wisdom and good understanding in the presence of God. That is what King Solomon asked God on that day when he was made the King of Israel. He knew very well that he needed wisdom in order to lead, and guide the people of Israel. It was not an easy task to rule the stiff necked people or to judge them wisely.
Solomon loved the Lord. He walked in the statutes of David his father. At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and God said, “Ask what I shall give you.” And Solomon said, “You have shown great and steadfast love to your servant David my father, because he walked before you in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward you. And you have kept for him this great and steadfast love and have given him a son to sit on his throne this day. And now, O Lord my God, you have made me (your servant) , King in place of David my father. I do not know how to go out or come in. And I ( your servant ) is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, too many to be numbered or counted for multitude. Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this, your great people?”
It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked for wisdom, And God said to him, “Because you have asked for wisdom to rule My people, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right, behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you wisdom and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you. I give you also what you have not asked, both riches and honour, so that no other king shall compare with you, all your days. And if you will walk in my ways, keeping my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.” And Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. Then he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.
Thus we see that God blessed King Solomon with an abundance of wisdom because he asked God for wisdom and good understanding. The Bible says, “Ask and it will be given to you.”Hence all you got to do, is to ask God for wisdom. The Bible further says, “ For God gives wisdom, and knowledge, and joy, to a man, who is good in His sight.” Therefore I urge you children of God, to walk in the ways of God, and to keep His commandments, and His judgements and be good in His sight, then you will prosper, in all that you do, and wherever you turn. And God will bless you too with abundance of wisdom. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for telling us through the message that we need wisdom to manage our family, our business and all other matters. Lord give us this wisdom that you gave King Solomon, and help us to handle all the situation that arise in our life wisely with proper discretion. May we be successful in life like Solomon.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
