Dearly Beloved, I greet and bless you in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today, is from the book of Hosea 14:5, “I will be like the dew to Israel, He shall grow, like the lilly. And lengthen his roots, like Lebanon. His branches shall spread, and His beauty shall be like an Olive, tree.’’
From the above context we understand that our God made a promise to the People of Israel saying that He will be like the dew, like the early morning dew that drenches the thirsty land with its refreshing life, and vitality. It descends secretly, silently, and slowly and unobserved and yet each tiny droplet gently softens the iron-hard soil, which allows the joy of life to pour into the withering plant -reviving, reinvigorating, rejuvenating and replenishing. The Lord’s promise to become as refreshing dew from heaven to Israel, was accomplished just as His pledge to return His chosen inheritance to the land of Canaan was fulfilled.
God expects us to stand firm and steady in all that we do, only then can we stabilize ourselves in this life. One who stands firm till the end will be the conqueror. I am introducing the one who can stabilize you. He wants you to be like the Cedar that stands firm and spreads deep into the ground. You need to cling to the Lord who can make you stand firm. If one should stand firm, he ought to join with the Lord, who can stabilize, and settle you.
The Lord who can stabilize you, has come down to give you, wages that is firm, and permanent. Some might say, “Look I don’t have a steady income, so I haven’t got married. How can I settle down without a proper job? ”Well your cry has been heard by God in heaven. That is why this message has been posted to encourage your broken heart, mind and spirit. If one has to stand firm and steady in his education, job, or business then he needs to have a steady mind. He should not keep changing his mind, every now and then. If you are unstable then your life will be destroyed. Your life will be toppled.
You need to seek God to give you a steady mind. Ask God to give you an anointing of stabilizing your life. God who can stabilize your life, has come down today, to settle you well and make you stand firm and steady in all that you do. And God has promised even more wonderful blessing to follow, of which we are incapable of imagining, for eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for those that love him. So often as we trudge through the miry clay of this fallen world we too become weary and worn, discouraged and downcast, but praise God that we have access to the early morning dew, that revives, reinvigorates, rejuvenates, replenishes and refreshes our lives today and forevermore. Learn to stand firm and steady, that you might be established in life. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Father God, we thank You that even when we are weary and worn out, You are there as refreshing dew from heaven, to soften our dry and parched state of life. Thank You for Your faithfulness to all of us, and though we often go astray, keep us close to your side, meet all our needs. Help us to stand firm and steady in all that we do.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
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 2 Thessalonians. 3:3 , “But The Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you, from the evil one.”
From the above context we understand that the Lord is faithful, and He shall establish you, and guard you from the evil one. It was necessary for Apostle Paul to teach the believers that lawlessness was already in the world and that the enemy of our soul seeks our downfall. But he joyfully reminds us that God is greater. God is faithful, and He has promised to establish us in the faith and guard us against the evil one.
I am posting this message in order to project the True and Living God before you. Why should you know this God? If you get to know Him, then your life will be established. If you know Him then not only in this world, but also in Heaven, a greater glory is awaiting for you. The above word of God says, The Lord who is faithful, will stabilize your life.
.
Many who are reading this message, are worried because, your life has not been, stabilized or well settled. You seem to say, look I have no permanent job, I don’t even have a good business with which I can support my family. I am not able to stand firm in my business or job.” There is no stability in your life. You seem to be shaking in everything you do. Be it your education, your job, your business and this causes uneasiness in your family life. You are not able to please your spouse and children as well. You think you will fall. Only when a person, stands firm, he can stabilize himself. You should not be a person who will fall. The Bible says, one who stands firm, till the end will be saved.
We serve a good and faithful God, Who has promised to work His good works in our lives and establish each one of us in every good work and word. But we must be aware that we have a powerful enemy, who desires our downfall and seeks to weaken our faith. No wonder Paul was keen to remind the believers that God is faithful to guard us against the evil one who is called the devil and satan. It is this evil one that does not allow you to be smart, and active. You tend to be lazy, you expect others to do everything for you. You cannot stand on your own. The satan, suppresses all your ability and capacity and makes you feel that you are good for nothing. You are unfit to do anything for yourself or for your family. He discourages you to do anything good in your life, then how can you establish yourself? Seek God and His Mercy then He will strengthen the weak areas of your life and help you to stand firm and steady.
The faithfulness of God streams throughout the pages of Scripture, His promises of grace; His wonderful words of warning and His amazing gift of salvation. Man may be faithless and false – But God is faithful despite our inconsistencies. And He expands this promise of grace to strengthen and establish you in the truth of His Word. He works in us and through us, for His good purpose. For, God knew you even before the foundation of this world. He knows the number of hairs on your head and keeps your tears in His bottle. And if has God predestined, you, called and chosen you, then, He undertakes to justify and to sanctify and to glorify you. And He is faithful to do everything that He has promised you in His Word. For our God is Faithful and True. He vows to keep His children from, sin and the plans of the evil one, who seeks to sift us as wheat and to pollute our witness. God will not allow us to be tested above that which we are able to bear, but will provide us a way of escape. God knows our weakness, and He understands that our faith may fail, BUT the Lord is faithful, Who shall establish you, and guard you from the evil one. Look to Him and be saved.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You because you are a God who is faithful, to keep your promises. Namely to strengthen, establish and protect us, even when our faith falters and we prove faithless and false to You. Keep us ever mindful of this truth and guide us in the choices that we make in our life. Use us as an instrument of Your grace and keep us from all evil, so that we may grow in grace and in a knowledge of You, and in our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
Dearly Beloved, 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 Isaiah 11:4, “But with righteousness He shall judge the poor. And decide with equity for the meek of the earth. He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth. And with the breath of His lips, He shall slay the wicked.”
From the above passage we come to learn that God will judge the poor with His righteousness. And deal with equity for the meek and humble of the earth. And that He will slay the wicked with the breath of his lips. Yes, God says, He will judge the poor, with righteousness. God justifies such people with his own righteousness and acquits and discharges them from all sin and condemnation. God also protects and defends them from their oppressors and their enemies. God will do justice for the meek, the lowly, and the humble who are poor and are unable to get justice in life. The rich on the other hand is able to achieve whatever he likes because of money and man power. They in turn crush the poor because of their power and cause tribulation and trouble to the poor and the down trodden.
God will smite such wicked men with the rod of His mouth. That is, He will smite the consciences of such men and convince them of their wrong doings. And with the breath of his lips God shall slay the wrong doers, For God says, “I have slain them by the words of My mouth.” He shall smite the sinners of the earth with the word of his mouth, and with the speech of his lips he shall slay the wicked. Therefore let them fear the Lord and do justice for the poor.
We are all destined to go to heaven. We have a hope that our God can do, what money cannot do. God has given us the free gift of salvation. So don’t worry that you are not wealthy and therefore you will not be able to get justice in your case. God has come down to deal your case for you and bring justice to you. God says, Present your case before me, you poor and needy. Bring forth your strong reasons. Whoever has pending cases, please bring them to the Lord and submit them at His feet. He will fight for you. You shall stand still and see the work of God for He does wonders beyond numbers.
May be some advocates are reading this message, and you are hurt, because you are unable to do justice to the poor client who needs justice. Because the opponent is rich and will easily win the case. So you are disappointed. You say that you tried all your best, for your client, but couldn’t help much as the opposite party, had money and could easily win over the case. There are some sincere advocates and lawyers too, and I praise God for them. To such persons the Lord says; Submit all your files at the feet of the Lord. He will fight the case for you and bring justice to your clients. Ask God to write the correct judgement for your client. One should not get justice by giving money. But obtain justice in the right way by truth and sincerity. To such persons, who ask the Lord, to deal the case by loyalty the Lord is doing a miracle for them right now. What are the cases that you are caught in? Tell the Lord and submit your cause, before Him, He will fight for you. You need to just stand still and see the work of God. His power and authority will be displayed before those who thought they could win the case easily with their money.
You must not put your trust in the money or wealth or riches of this world. Because all of these will one day be lost, they will perish, but your faith in God will remain forever. Allow God to do justice to poor, meek, humble and lowly people. He is a God who justifies such needy people with his own righteousness and acquits and discharges them from all sin and condemnation. The Bible says, they who put their trust in the Lord will prosper. Therefore do not put your trust in money but put your trust in God, then you will become the head and not the tail. You will prosper.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You because you are a God who will judge the poor with Your righteousness. Thank You Lord, for being merciful to the meek, the lowly, and the humble. We shall remain grateful to you for protecting the poor from the hands of the wicked and evil men. Help us to put our trust in God and not in the riches of this world. Teach us to bring our cases before you and not run after men.
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 Deuteronomy 23:5 “, Nevertheless the Lord thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee because the Lord Your God Loves You.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we understand that our God loved Israel. Those whom the Lord loves are blessed. Hence the Lord turns the curse into a blessing through the very mouth of Balaam. ’For both the tribes Ammonite and Moabites had not met the children of Israel with bread and water while they were on their way to Canaan the promised Land. Balak hired Balaam to curse the people because whatever He spoke was wonder struck. The Lord over ruled his tongue and put such words into his mouth in such a manner that instead of cursing he blessed Israel.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God delighted in David and wished to set him on the throne, of Israel because the Lord loved Israel for ever. He made him King of Israel to do justice and righteousness. The Bible says, When Israel was a youth I loved him. And out of Egypt, I called My son. Because God loved Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob the fathers of Israel, he set his love on their descendants too after them.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, the Psalmist says, God shall choose our inheritance for us. So we submit our will, our choice, our desire wholly to Him. Our Heritage here and hereafter, we leave to Him. Let the Lord do with us as seems Him good. The Excellency of Jacob whom he loved, He divided their portion according to their tribes. God was the glory of Israel. He loved His people, and became their greatest glory. God loves us and He shall be our exceeding joy. As for the latter days, may our portion be in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our beauty, our best treasure, lies in having such a God to love us.
My Dear brothers and Sisters, Love is a fundamental part of God’s nature. We are able to love Him or anyone else because He first loved us. God expects us to love Him with our whole heart and from our whole soul, and from our whole mind, and from our whole strength. In fact God wants us to love Him with our whole being. God is love and He became a man, Jesus Christ. When we receive the Lord Jesus Christ We receive all that He is into our spirit. The good news for us is that we can turn our hearts to Him as He is in our spirit. God commanded us to love Him absolutely. Our Love for God actually originates from God Himself. It comes from His love within us which is higher than anything we can generate.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Have you tasted that the Lord is good? If not taste and see that the Lord is good. Feel the kindness of God in your life and His love for mankind. Evidence of God’s love is all around you in the beauty of sunshine, the kindness of a friend. Receive Christ into your life and trust Him as your Saviour. God shows His love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we are grateful to you for the Love you have displayed on the cross of Calvary. Help us to love You with all of our soul, heart, mind and strength. Teach us to love Him with pure love. May we make the Lord the treasure of our life. Let God be our exceeding joy in our life.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
I greet and bless you in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today, is from the book of 1 Samuel 16:7, “ But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” From the above context we understand that our God does not look for appearance but He looks at our heart. When Samuel the Prophet, had anointed Saul as king, it was his tall stature and good looks that caught the prophet’s attention and yet Saul turned out to be a real disappointment to Samuel, for his heart was not pure before the Lord – but as this messenger of God came to anoint one of the sons of Jesse – as God’s chosen king, we discover Samuel to once again judge the quality of the Israel’s future king, by his outward appearance and not by the inner attitude and motive of his heart – but the Lord doesn’t see things the way man see things. People judge by outward appearances, but the Lord looks at the heart. When Samuel looked at Eliab and said, “Surely the LORD’s anointed is before Him.” But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him. Even the best of men will look at the outward appearance. It was also an exhortation to godly thinking. God told Samuel, “Your natural inclination is to only judge on outward appearance. But I can judge the heart that you can’t see. So, look to me. Samuel learnt to seek the LORD and seek God’s heart and mind when looking at people. : God told Samuel that He had not chosen any of the seven sons of Jesse attending the feast. It wasn’t that these sons of Jesse were bad men, but they were not God’s choice. God had a man in mind different from Samuel’s or Jesse’s expectation. Samuel then inquires if Jesse had another son. Then Jesse said, “There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him. For we will not sit down till he comes here.” This shows the low regard David had among his own family. First, his father didn’t even mention him by name. Second, he wasn’t even invited to the sacrificial feast. Third, he was only called to come because Samuel insisted on it. . When we learn that David was the youngest of the eight sons, we also find that he was underestimated by his father and his brothers. He had very low regard in his own family. It wasn’t because David’s character or conduct was unworthy, it was simply because he was the youngest of eight sons and he was tending his father’s sheep. Thus we see that God had not chosen any of Jesse’s older sons. God often chooses unlikely people to do His work, so that all know that it is God’s work, not man’s work. He wants to work in a way so that people regard His servants with high esteem as they regarded Samson: they wondered at the secret of his strength. You may not be intellectual or well thought of in your family circle; you may be despised by others for your faith in Christ. Perhaps you had only a little share in the love of your parents, as David did. But remember that those who are rejected of men often become beloved of the Lord.” David was called for this great anointing when he was out keeping the sheep. David simply did his job and was faithful in small things and what his father told him to do. Keeping the sheep was a servant’s job. While Keeping the sheep David spent a lot of time looking over the sheep and looking at the glory of God’s creation. God built in him a heart to sing about His glory in all creation While keeping the sheep David had a special heart, a special care. He knew how sheep needed the care and help of a good shepherd. He learned that he was a sheep and God was his shepherd. During these years, God built in David the heart that would sing about the LORD as his shepherd as in Psalm 23 . David had to trust God in the midst of danger. David had lions and bears and wolves to contend with and the sheep had to be protected. “The country round Bethlehem was not a peaceful paradise, and the career of a shepherd was not an easy life . David’s years as a shepherd boy were not waiting time; they were training time. David was a great man and a great king over Israel because he never lost his shepherd’s heart. Hence God chose David His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds; from following the ewes that had young .He brought him, to shepherd Jacob, His people, and Israel His inheritance. So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands as a King ,over Israel for forty years. God is calling you for a greater purpose. Your Father or brothers may not know that, God had chosen you. You may hold a low post in your office or may be of low profile. Your height and looks does not matter to God. David was called for this great anointing when he was out keeping the sheep. David simply did his job and was faithful in small things and what his father told him to do. Do sincerely what you are told to do. God will exalt you in His time. Be cheerful in the Lord and rejoice in Him even though you may have to go through much struggles, God will glorify you. God bless you. Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Loving Father, thank You for this warning not to rely on outward appearances, knowing that the heart of man can be so deceitful. Help us to keep our mind fixed on Jesus, so that we may be pleasing in Your sight. Thank You for being so good to David. Even though he was despised by his father and his brethren, You loved him. You helped him to protect his sheep and gave him strength to fight the lions, bears and wolves. You thus prepared him to fight Goliath the Philistine, who came against the people of God. My Dear Lord, have mercy on us and help us to be committed to God in our lives, like David, who was a man after your own heart.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
