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 Job 42:10 The Lord Restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave twice as much as he had before.”
From the above context we see how Job is accused by his friends and God was displeased with them, so Job prayed for his friends. Since he prayed for them, God blessed Job in the latter part of His Life. Actually the book of Job says, that the life of Job was miserable because God allowed satan to test Jobs faith. Hence his life which was once well settled began to crumble. He gradually lost everything in life. Firstly he lost his ten children, then his cattle and then all his property and all his wealth. He lost even his health. His body was covered with sores and boils and he sat on the ash heap and was scratching his skin with dry shell. He lost all his glory. Those who initially respected him now began to humiliate him. He was thus put to shame. No one could even recognize him as Job, for his face and body was disfigured.
Some of his friends visited him and they were shocked to see his horrible condition and refused to speak rather they sat silently looking at him. They wondered if he had made some secret sins and even doubted his faithfulness to God. Even his wife could not bear to see his sufferings. When Job’s life had completely fallen apart, instead of encouraging him to faithfully endure, she said, “Do you still hold fast, to your integrity? Curse God and die!’’But Job did not heed to his wife’s advice and curse God. Instead, he said, to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not, accept adversity?’’In all this Job did not sin with his lips. He further said, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” Job had great hope and confidence in God. For he knew that the Lord who has torn his life will heal him, and though He has stricken him He will bind his wounds.
In the beginning, we see Job’s patience being tested, but later as an encouragement, we see his happy end. His troubles began in satan’s malice, which God restrained; but his restoration began in God’s mercy, which satan could not oppose. Mercy did not return when Job was disputing with his friends, but came when he was praying for them. God is served and pleased with our warm devotions, not with our warm disputes. God doubled Job’s possessions. Whether the Lord gives us health and temporal blessings or not, if we patiently suffer according to his will, in the end we shall be happy.
Job’s estate increased, after his period of affliction. The blessing of the Lord makes rich; it is he that gives us power to get wealth, and gives success in honest endeavours. The last days of a good man sometimes prove his best, his last works his best works, his last comforts his best comforts; for his path, like that of the morning light, shines more and more unto the perfect day. And the Load turned the captivity of Job – Restored him to his former prosperity. Job was restored from his series of protracted trials to a state of prosperity. When he prayed for his friends – Or after he had prayed for his friends. The Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. It is not to be understood that this occurred at once – for many of these blessings were bestowed gradually.
Those of you who are reading this message may also be going through some kind of affliction like Job. And you think you don’t want to live any longer. You are not able to bear a slight pain or sorrow, not able to bear, when you fall sick or a little loss in your business or some silly complaint in your work spot. Some think of ending your life too. Do you have faith like Job, who was prepared to say boldly when he lost his ten children”’ God gave and God has taken away. Praise be to God. Don’t lose heart. You trust in God, trust in Jesus also. He will help you to overcome all your struggles successfully. Just learn to have the heart and mind of Job. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord help us to increase our faith in God like Job. Even though we too experience such humiliation like Job teach us to endure patiently. No matter what loss or hardship we go through, give us the strength to bear the situation patiently. May we also like Job understand that if we endure the trials and temptations, God will bless us with a double portion of blessing at the end of our trial.
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 Psalms 37:4, “Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.”
Dearly beloved , even as you read this message , I speak to you from the depth of my heart, that from today the Lord is going to answer all your requests. The Bible says, “God’s promises are, in Him yes and in Him Amen, to the glory of God, through us.” You may have many hidden desires in your heart, and God is going to fulfill all your desires. God promises that if you delight in Him, He will give you the desires of your heart. Taking delight in the Lord means, that your hearts must truly long after God. In fact you should seek your happiness in God Himself, in His being, His greatness, His glory and His power.
Nehemiah says, “The joy of the Lord is my strength.”Which means being happy in the Lord, is his joy. The word delight means “to gain great pleasure” satisfaction, and happiness.’’ By reading the word of God , by singing and praising and adoring Him you receive happiness. God should always, be revered and adored. He should have our utmost respect. You should strive to adore God on a daily basis. God gives joy to a man who is good in His sight. God will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him. So to obtain your requests you need to be good before the Lord and fear Him too at all times.
You might have prayed to the Lord and submitted your requests to God many years ago. But You did not receive any answer to your prayers. And so you have been worrying that you have not yet received an answer to your prayers. Today, the Lord is going to fulfill all your desires. While I was in prayer, God showed me a vision. I saw the requests and prayers that you had submitted at the feet of the Lord. He has categorized all your requests and desires in three files as pending file, urgent file and emergency file.
Emergency file is the file that contains your requests. But if God did not perform a miracle for those requests, you might be disheartened or even worried. Urgent file is the file that needs to be checked immediately. Pending file is the file that contains requests that God thinks that He can grant it to you, a little later, when you are matured enough to handle the blessings. He will release the blessings one by one, only when He knows for certain that you are capable to retain it. I asked the Lord as to why those blessings were being withheld and delayed. God replied saying, “I will first give them the needed maturity to those children who are immature, and will then shower all these blessings to them. ’
So the Lord will grant you first the maturity to handle the blessings and then He will bless you. A man must learn to be delight Himself in the Lord whether he is blessed or not. He must learn to be content with what God has blessed him with. You need to thank God for every situation in life. Only then the Lord will be able to bless you abundantly. Your happiness is very precious to the Lord. Thank God and adore the Heavenly Father for His goodness. Amen. Praise the Lord. God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord we are in need of many good things in this world. Be merciful to us and grant us our desires. Teach us to fear, and adore you. Give us the longing to have an intimate fellowship with You. May we enjoy Your presence in our life. Teach us to be always content with what God has blessed us with. We humbly pray that God grant us the desires of our heart.
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 40:1, 2, “Comfort, yes, comfort My people!” Says your God. “Speak comfort to Jerusalem.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we understand that our God Comforts those that are burdened with heavy heart. He comforts them like a mother. We often think how special and beloved our mothers are. They are really very dear gift to us. I would like the readers to consider God’s motherly comfort of his people. The Prophet Isaiah gives us the word of the Lord, “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.”Mothers love for you is a spontaneous personal affection. She loved you when you kicked within her womb. She always, fixed her eyes and cares on you. When a child is hurt it is Mom they call for. And this is the kind of comfort being described here in our message.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, the Mother usually takes care of her children and finds every way, to comfort her child. She is prepared to sacrifice to any extent for the well being of her child. She is even prepared to lose anything for the welfare of her child. They are willing to spend any amount to save the life of their child, in case they are sick and bed ridden. Mothers usually consider the future of their children more important than their own well being. All that they desire to see, is that, their child does well in life.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, many of you are reading this message with much enthusiasm since it speaks the truth of a good mother. All those who feel so dejected and despised by your loved ones, God wants to comfort you just as a mother would comfort you. Some of you may not hold a good job, or may not even earn a good income. May be you are having huge sum of debts and hence living in shame. You might be facing some kind of unpleasant situation in your work spot or in the neighbourhood. God is bringing an end to such situation. God will perform a miracle for you and comfort you. Don’t you worry, God will comfort you.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, While Jesus lived on the face of this earth, He personally visited the people, performed miracles and comforted them. There was a widow of the city of Nain. She had a son, when Jesus came near the gate of the city he saw a dead man being carried out to be buried. He was the only son of his mother. She was burdened with a heavy heart. Her only son was dead. She lost all her hope. How could she survive without anyone? When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”Then he touched the coffin and said to the young man, “I say to you, arise.” And he who was dead, sat up. And began to speak. And he handed over the young man to his mother. Her sorrow was turned to joy in a moment. He will change your mourning into dancing.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You Lord for comforting us like a mother. Thank You Lord for helping us to realize the important role a mother plays. Help us to inherit such good qualities from her. May we console and comfort those in distress as God comforted others.
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 Psalms 16: 5, 6 “You O lord are the portion of my inheritance, and my cup. You maintain my lot. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.’’
From the above passage we see how Jesus turns to God with great confidence and bounding joy. He delighted in God the Father, even while he was in his sorest sorrows; He still laid hold of His Father. Although He was tempted yet He never stooped to worship the prince of this world.
Similarly we too can make our boast in the Lord. He is our portion supplying all our necessities for our life on this earth and in the life to come. As children of the Father, who is in heaven, we inherit, by virtue of our joint heir ship with Jesus.
In this psalm we see, that David, flees to God’s protection with cheerful, believing confidence. Those who have avowed that the God is their Lord should often live up to it. You must devote yourself to the honour of God in the service of the saints. We need to be saints on earth in order to be saints in heaven. Those who have been renewed by the grace of God and devoted to the glory of God are saints on the earth. Our God is great and greatly to be praised. Shulamite in Songs of Solomon, says, “’My beloved is handsome, yes pleasant. He is ruddy and white. Chief among ten thousand.”’ So great is our God.
Can such a great God give his children that which is worthless. The Lord, who is great will always, be of great value. There is a saying that goes on to say, “’ Tell me your friend and I will tell you who you are”’ the more you get acquainted with a person; you tend to inherit all his qualities or his nature. You will soon become more like him. For you will begin to reflect his qualities.
Today you are looking out to that great God, who will give you the best. When you consider God as your inheritance and think of all the good things that God has provided for you, then you will be blessed without any doubt. Make God your treasure. It is He who gives you all that you naeed from His store house. There is nothing more to lose in life if you have received the Lord Jesus as your saviour and Lord of your life. For He is the maker of heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them. It doesn’t matter what you lose or how much you lose but if you keep Jesus within your heart, then God almighty will rule your hearts and mind. The Bible says, “’You should seek the Lord in the hope, that they might feel for him and find Him Though He is not far from each one of us.” If only you seek him you will find him.” For you can do nothing without God.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord helps us to take hold of God at all times. May we acquire the qualities of Jesus. Be amore humble, more righteous and also, longsuffering. Let the Lord be the portion, and inheritance of our life. Teach us to seek the Lord while He may be found. May we receive the best from God who is great and awesome in Nature.
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 Psalm 37:25, “I have been young and now am old, yet have not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread.”
From the above context we understand that this is David’s observation about the righteous. So he says, “’I never saw a truly pious, just and charitable man, left destitute, of necessary things; or his children after him. “God is ever merciful and lends. In fact he has the ability as well as the inclination, to give, to lend to others if need requires, his seed is blessed –not only with spiritual but with worldly blessing.
However godliness hath so far the promise of the life that they who seek first and principally the kingdom of God shall have the necessaries of life provided for them in some way or other. Therefore to fear and serve God is the readiest way to secure ourselves and families from want. Many of you, who are reading this message, are going through miserable period of time. Some of you are worried about the future of your children. Some of you have grown old and wonder as to what would become of your children? You seem to worry over your child, who has not settled as yet. Your son has not even secured a good job. You have educated him with much difficulty, but he has been a failure. He has not fared well in his interview. You started a small business for him but he is incapable of running the business. You are worried over your daughter who is growing old. You are unable to secure a good proposal for her.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, until yesterday things have gone wrong but God assures you of a bright future. So cast all your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you. He cares for you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved. Trust in the promises of God. He will never forget you nor forsake you. For those of you who are in tears because of your children, will one day behold, your children doing well in their studies, in their career, in their marriage life and whatsoever. God will not only bless your children, by placing them in good position, in life, but also extend your life to see them do well.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, King David, had to go through a trying period in his life. Many times he was under death trap. But he says, “’ Lord You who have shown me great and severe troubles, shall revive me again and bring me up again from the depths of the earth.”He further says, “Though the Lord disciplined me severely, he has not given me over to death.” This is the confidence he had in God. So God saved him from the cruel hands of the enemies and saved his life. He also extended the days of his life, that his eyes might see his son seated on the throne. Similarly God will perform a miracle for you if you have confidence in God. For the Lord will be your confidence. And will keep your feet from being caught. God will allow you to see the well being of your children.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, May be till yesterday your children would have attended several interviews but they would been a failure. They would not have performed well in their studies. Or they have incurred a great loss in their business. Some of you have not been able to do your ministry successfully. God is aware of all your struggles. He will wipe away your tears. You will soon rejoice over the victory and success of your children. From this time forth you will experience a change in the course of your life and that of your children. Just as God allowed King David to witness his son Solomon sit on the throne God will help you witness your children do well in their life. They will shine like the stars forever. God bless you and your children.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for directing our steps and for providing all our needs. Lord you said that our children will be taught by the Lord and great will be the peace of our children. Accordingly we pray that you will bless our children and help us to see them well placed in life, so that they may not lack any good thing.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
