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 22:6 “ Train up a child in the way he should grow, And when he is old, he will not depart from it. ”
From the above passage we understand that we need to train up our children in the way we should. Both in the fear and the knowledge of God. The Bible says, A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. Therefore we should be more careful to grow our children in such a way that they may get and keep a good name, rather than to raise them up to a great estate. So we need to train children, not in the way they would go, that of their corrupt hearts, but in the way they should go; in which, if you love them, you would have them go. As soon as possible every child should be led to the knowledge of God. Sin is foolishness, it is in the heart, and there is an inward inclination to sin: children bring it into the world with them; and it cleaves close to the soul. We all need to be corrected by our heavenly Father. We are but stewards, and must distribute what God entrusts to our care, according to his will.
Parenting takes about eighteen years to finally figure out, what sort of children we have grown them to be. When they reach -adult “teenagers,” we scratch our heads and pull out our rapidly greying hair. Then and only then, about the time they turn eighteen, it dawns on us that we have graduated our children to good or bad adults. These words, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it,” sounds so simple, but takes time to really know how good or bad your daughter or son is.
Paul tells us to, “bring up our children up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord” So, we bring them to church and send them to Sunday school. When bed time comes we pray the Lord’s Prayer together with them. Our speech, our moods, our preferences, our quirks, our outbursts soak them all in and replicate them in their own tiny lives. You see, we’re never training our children in the right way. It just so happens that some of the training is undesirable at best and downright despicable at worst.
And while we’re thanking God, let’s thank him for the promise in Proverbs 22:6, which really means “Dedicate a child according to His way: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” In other words, “Dear parents, your own children are not your own. They are more importantly, Heavenly Father’s children. You love them, of course, but God loves them more, loves them perfectly. His gracious will is to dwell within them, to make their very bodies and souls and hearts and minds a temple of his Spirit. So dedicate them to that way, to that divine life, to him who formed them in the womb and claimed them on the cross.”As important as the training of your children is, much more important is handing them over to God—from the very beginning, from infancy, and beyond.
May the Lord help you to grow your children in the right way that they may bring glory and honor to you parents. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord, teach us to bring up our children in the fear and knowledge of God. That would help them to get a good name in the society. Teach us to train up our children in the way they should go. Help us to understand our children better and not just underestimate them. May we be role model for them to grow as better citizens, and true Christian. 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 2:14 “Now thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph in Christ.”
From the above context we come to understand that no one likes to be a failure in life and all aspire to be successful. Everyone wishes to reach the peak of success during the course of their life. Some might achieve, while others remain a loser. To have success one must be thankful to God in all aspects of their life. Both during their ups and downs. Then they will be successful. Whatever it may be, all are running a race. The Bible says, Do you not know that those who run in a race, all run, but one receives the prize.
Many who read this message are worried about your children’ s performance. You are rather scared that your child will fail in his exam. Many are writing their public exams, But God will not allow your children to fail, in their exams, as you have faith in God and pray for their good performance. God is therefore coming down to give them victory. Parents really pray for their children while they write their exams, and then they all forget about it till results are out. God is watching the heartache of you parents and the hard effort applied by your children and is causing them to be victorious. He protects them from losing their score.
I remember sometimes back, there were many teachers who wrote their TET exams but failed because of few marks. And they were worried because they could not secure Government jobs. I prayed saying that God will change even the laws for His children. What a miracle God performed for all those children of God. Our God is one who turns the heart of kings and rulers. Our God keeps His promise. They did get the government jobs. There are many of you who have appeared for postal exams, bank exams, Government exams, and all are in tears waiting for the results. I strongly believe that God will give victory to all God’s children. This is a season of victory. God will change all your failures into victory. The devil is defeated and Jesus remains victorious.
Satan has adopted a new trend among good students. He distracts the attention of the students, and diverts them to engage in sinful activities and they often loiter with their friends and instead of studying hard they lose interest in their studies and finally fail in the exams. Satan takes joy in their failure. He is not interested in the well being of the student. He takes every effort to destroy the future of the student. The intention of the devil is to ruin the life of the student. And as a result the child suffers from depression. There are some parents who are crying over their children who are suffering from mental disorder or autism. I pray in the name of Jesus that God grant them complete deliverance and help them to be of good and perfect mindset.
At times the devil entices them with money and drags them to involve in all kinds of business. It misleads them into sinful ways of life and finally they lose track and fall prey to the devil. Thus they ruin their life. The devil operates in a way that is misleading, by showing lustful things, money and otherworldly pleasures. God is making a new path for your children who have been mislead, , into his glorious mansion, the heaven, by giving his life on the cross and shedding his precious blood for your children and redeeming you for eternal glory. May the Lord help you to realise your folly and correct your ways that are pleasing to God. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you for teaching us the right way of life. Help us not to walk in the ways of the ungodly. Teach us to have good perspective of things around us. May we avoid wrong friendship and take careful steps to have a bright and successful future.
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 Philippians 4:6,7 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ.”
From the above passage we understand that we should not be anxious about anything however big the problem might seem to be, but in everything we need to ask God in prayer and supplication. There may be many people who think wrong or evil about you, God says, such people will fall but you will rise up and stand erect because victory comes from the Lord. The glory of the Lord is upon you. Your days of sorrow has ended. And the peace of God which surpasses, all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
The Lord says, I will come and bless you in the place where My name is glorified. Read this message with faith. You will see the glory of God. Many parents are filled with much sorrow regarding your children about their education and about their settlement. It is only God who can deliver you from your sorrow. Your friend may take you to a bar and get you drunk to make you happy. Or he might take you to a dance show, to make you happy. Or you might watch a movie, but the joy is for a moment when you return back home you have the same sorrow as before. So God wants you to reveal your sorrow to the Lord. Pour your heart to Him because only He can solve your problem.
The Bible says, “Until now you have asked nothing, in My name. Ask and you will receive that your joy may be full.” He is a God who fills the empty space. In the word of God we see Isaac. His mother who begot him in her old age suddenly died even before he could get married. So in order to forget his sorrow, Isaac went to the meadows and meditated in the word of God every evening. Abraham sent his servant Eliezer to look for a bride for his son Isaac among his own people. And one day as usual while Isaac was meditating he lifted his eyes and there he saw Rebekah dismount from her camel. Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and he took Rebekah, and she became his wife. And he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death. God replaced his mother through his wife and brought joy into his life. The Bible says, Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes it is a tree of life.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord, teach us not to be anxious about anything, but to make our request through prayer and supplication. Help us to rejoice in you. Let your joy fill us and let it become our strength .
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 4:29-30 “ And God gave Solomon, wisdom, and exceedingly great understanding and largeness of heart, like the sand on the seashore. Thus Solomon’s wisdom, excelled the wisdom, of all the men, of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt.”
From the above passage we learn that God gave Solomon, wisdom and understanding, exceeding much knowledge of great variety of things, and prudence in the administration Of the government. And largeness of heart. Great vastness of understanding. Or a very comprehensive mind. His mind contained an ocean of knowledge. Capable of receiving, the knowledge, of all things. Solomon’s wisdom was more glorious than his wealth. He had the gift of utterance, as well as wisdom. It is very desirable that those who have large gifts of any kind should have large hearts, to use them for the good of others.
Today God wants to bless you and your children with such knowledge and wisdom that he had granted to Solomon. That you may be blessed in all things. For I see in my spirit many of you suffering from lack of wisdom, knowledge and understanding. And thereby not very successful in life. God wants you to be successful in all that you do. And hence you need intelligence, power, good mindset, skill, knowledge and determination to execute the work you need to do. God says, If any of you lacks wisdom. Let him ask of God who gives to all liberally and without reproach. So you need to ask God for wisdom and knowledge. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, many of you reading this message seem to be worried about your son, or daughter who are possessed with evil spirit, They never obey your words. They walk while they are asleep, They listen to strange sounds, while they are asleep. They are unable to concentrate in their studies, or focus in their work. Even your husband at times behaves in an odd manner. Some even walk towards the graveyard. They behave in a strange manner because of lack of knowledge and very poor understanding. God is delivering them from such evil spirit. Some children are unable to write their exams properly because the spirit of darkness blocks their mind from doing well in their papers. God is delivering those children whose brain have/has been caught hold off by Satan from functioning properly. God will deliver them. For He says, “ I am with you. Do not be afraid. I am the Healer.”
God wants you and your children to be knowledgeable persons, with sharper wisdom. God is destroying all your blunt wisdom and knowledge. You might be crying over your children, because they are always, talking negatively. God is redeeming them by infusing positive thoughts and attitude into their minds. God is making (you/them ) into a new sharp threshing instrument, and hence you will be able to smite the mountain and break them into bits of pieces and crushes them like dust. And you will be glorified in the Lord. God wants to fill you with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship as he filled Bezaleel who was appointed by God in building the Tabernacle of God. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Thank you for teaching us, that we need knowledge, wisdom and good understanding to be successful in life. Bless us with wisdom and knowledge. Help us to apply it in our daily activity and thus glorify God. Fill us with divine spirit of God that we may have power to achieve success in our life.
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 Ephesians 3:20, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us”.
Everyone face trials and tribulations. When some people are unable to handle their problems, they go to the extreme of ending their lives. They fail to realize that there could be at least one last option. The most common problem that they get themselves tangled in is, debt. When you are unable to afford something more than your budget, you end up borrowing. To pay back that debt, you will have to work very hard depending on how much debt you have taken. If you are unable to make up that money, you end up borrowing from another person to pay the debt. This keeps going on like a chain. If you lose hope 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. 3 John 2 says, “Beloved I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health just as your soul prospers”. This is God’s desire for you. God wants you to put all your burdens upon Him and He will take care of it.
I would like to share a testimony with you. While I was ministering in Sri Lanka, I met a person who was hiding himself in shame and humiliation as he had a huge debt. He had a very luxurious house but there was darkness inside. The family was filled with fear, sorrow and shame. This man had a debt of nearly seven and a half crores. He was staying in his own house for rent. He said that there was no chance of closing his debts, and the only solution was to commit suicide. After sharing God’s word with him, he attended our cottage meeting that evening. He gained confidence and took me to his go-down and his factory. We made a small prayer. Later, his Co-workers and other business partners, dealers came up to him and encouraged him by supporting him in his business. They asked him to restart his business and promised to help him financially. There was a great change in the attitude of the customers and other business men. They said that he possessed good marketing and exporting capacity too. All because of his faith in Jesus, he cleared all his debts and is now one of the leading business men in town. God exalted him as he believed that Jesus and also blessed him and his family once again. God changed his sorrow into joy.
Similarly, you need to trust and have faith in the Lord. When you trust and put your burdens upon Him, He will do immeasurably more than what you expect.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank and praise You for this blessed day. I thank you for all the blessings that you have given to Your dear children. You came to redeem that which was lost. May Your children flourish in all that they do. I pray that they may learn to trust you in every situation. May You do immensely great miracles in their lives. In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
