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 Luke 19:10 “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, From the above context we understand that Jesus Christ himself was truly man and the messiah. He came from heaven into this world having been sent by the Father and with the full consent and good will of his own. And those who desire to see Christ, like Zaccheus will break through all opposition and take pain to see him. Christ invited himself to Zaccheus’ house. Wherever Christ comes he opens the heart and inclines it to receive him. He that has a mind to know Christ shall be known of him. Those whom Christ calls must humble themselves and come down. And should be able to receive him joyfully, who brings all good things with him.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Zaccheus gave proof publicly that he had become a true convert. He does not pretend like the Pharisees, but through the grace of God he shows the sincerity of faith and repentance. Zaccheus is considered to be a happy man, for now he is turned from his sins, and all the benefits of salvation will come to him. Christ comes to his house, and where Christ comes he brings salvation with him. He came into this lost world to seek and to save it. The purpose and design of Jesus was to save, when there was no salvation in any other.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Jesus Christ came to seek and to save that which was lost. Like the lost sheep from its fold. There were ninety nine that safely lay in the shelter of the fold. But one was away on the hills away. Far from the gates, of the farm house away on the mountains. Jesus once told the story of the good shepherd, who went in search of the lost sheep leaving the remaining ninety nine, in the safety of the fold. When we recollect the incident of David, the shepherd boy, we find that he would run to protect the sheep from the bear and the lion. He looked after the flock of his seven brothers. Though he was the youngest He was strong, brave, and trusted God. Once a lion pulled a lamb away but he grabbed the beast and killed it. Likewise he killed the bear that attacked his flock. David knew that God had helped him. When evening came, David, would play on his shepherd’s pipe, and would call them back to the fold. This implicates how Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you because You came to seek and to save that which was lost. Thank you for your free gift of salvation. Teach us to be like Zaccheus who desired to see Jesus. And so Jesus not only lifted up his eyes and looked up to him seated on the sycamore tree, but also visited his house himself and announced salvation into his house. Help us also to enjoy the presence of God in our lives like Zaccheus.
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 Psalms 68:9,10 , “You O God sent a plentiful rain, whereby You confirmed Your inheritance. When it was weary. Your Congregation dwelt in it. You O God provided from Your goodness for the poor.”
My dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context, we learn that God sent a plentiful rain. The spirit of grace, and the gospel of grace, are the plentiful rain. Christ himself, the rain of blessing, shall come as showers that water the earth. Such rain as never fell before, dropped on the desert sand. Bread from heaven, and winged fowls fell all around the host of people, good gifts, were poured upon them. Rivers leaped forth from rocks. The earth shook with fear. And in reply the Lord as from his abundance shook out blessings upon it. So the original may be rendered.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, until this time they had been weary and tired even dry. But after the plentiful rain they were speedily refreshed. Their foot did not swell all those forty years. When they were exhausted, when they were weary, God did not neglect them. They were His chosen heritage, and so although he allowed them to experience, weariness and dryness, in their life, he watchfully tended them and tenderly considered their distress.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, In the same manner, the elect of God who tread down in this wilderness state, are apt, to become, tired and faint. But their ever-loving Jehovah comes in with timely succours. God cheers the faint, strengthens the weak, and refreshes the hungry. By this faithfulness, the faith of God’s people is confirmed and their hearts established. The timely supply of grace, strengthens them again.
The Bible focuses on the people of God, in the land of promise. We see the mercy of God extended to them while they were wandering in the wilderness. They were considered as flock so poor, and wretched. They had no resources of their own, for they were a poor oppressed and afflicted people.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, some of you who are reading this message seem so worried as you did not get a reply to your request. Some are confused about certain things. God knows in what state of mind you are. So God will speak to you. The Lord will send plentiful rain in your life too in order to provide for the poor. Poorness indicates those who are badly in need of something. God is going to send a rain of blessing in the area, which you lack or in which ever area you are poor. May be in your business, in your studies, in your ministry, in your career.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, All these days, you were experiencing a great dryness and draught in your life. You are going through a season of poverty and famine or a period of scarcity. In all these areas a shower of blessing is going to pour down. Not an ordinary rain but a plenteous rain. When the plentiful rain falls, every dry stump will begin to grow and green shoots will spring forth. Similarly your life will bloom and you will shoot up in life. The Bible says, a Rod shall come forth from the stem of Jesse and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. Likewise your light shall break forth like the morning and your healing shall spring forth speedily. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You Lord for considering the poor and sending a plentiful rain. For enabling even the dry stumps to shoot up green. We are blessed because You consider us O Lord. Help us to come out of this period of scarcity and poverty and grant to us a period of prosperity that we may glorify Your Name. . 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 65:22 “They shall not build and another inhabit, They shall not plant and another eat, —And My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we learn that all God’s people are designed to enjoy the fruit of their labours. Then the children will not be troublesome, to their parents or will get into trouble. Thus all shall live in harmony. God says that they shall be blessed with the undisturbed enjoyment of all that is needful for their happiness. The above verse says, every man shall enjoy the avails of his labour. In the Bible we see that the Israelites inhabited the houses built by the Canaanites. Thus we cannot afford to build houses through hard labour and lose it in the hands of our enemies or strangers.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, In case you had built a house and someone else has cheated you, and made a duplicate or false document and had obtained it from your hands through wrong mean, God is about to change their heart and intention so that they regret for their wrong doings and will return the documents and the house back to you. Until yesterday, you were not able to enjoy the fruit of your hard labour. You must have gone through a lot of trials and agony to construct a house. You should be able to live in the house you built. But in case you are unable to occupy the house you built, or you are unable to occupy the flat which you have purchased with your hard earned money, because someone else is obstructing you from occupying your flat, God is making ways, and means, for you to possess your house. It will be Marvellous to your eyes. Halleluiah! For the word of God says, God’s children shall inhabit the houses they have built and shall not be dispossessed by an enemy.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Similarly you would have taken great pains to grow an orchard. It must have taken years to have grown and you should be able to eat the fruit of your hands for which you have worked so hard. But unfortunately your neighbour or a stranger has secretly intruded into your orchard and has robbed you of your fruits. God is intervening on your behalf because he had witnessed your hard labour. He knows your pain, and your hard work. He has seen your tears and heard your cries. Therefore he will speak into their hearts and convict them of their wrong deeds. And they will never again intrude into your orchard. That is why God says, They shall not plant for others to eat.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord , for your promise which encourages us that our enemy shall not eat of the fruit of our tree or occupy our house that we build. Thank you for helping us to inhabit our own hard earned house. Come and dwell in the midst of us Oh Lord. We need your presence in our lives.
n 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 Genesis 31:24, “Then God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night and said to him, “Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.”
The Lord blessed Jacob with cattle, wealth and much more. One day, God appeared to Jacob and told him to take all his blessings and leave to his father’s house. Obeying the voice of God, Jacob left. On seeing this, Laban and his sons planned to go after Jacob and bring back all the wealth that Jacob took along. God watched what Laban was doing. That night, the Lord appeared to Laban in a dream and warned him not to speak anything against Jacob. The next day when Laban went to meet Jacob, he told Jacob all that took place and told him, “The Lord whom you worship warned me not to harm you but to make peace with you”. Jacob did not know with what motive, Laban was coming; but the Lord whom Jacob worshiped, did not allow Laban to harm Jacob and that was why He warned Laban overnight. In the latter stages Jacob says, “If only God was not by my side, all that I had toiled for, for 14 long years would have gone in vain”.
My dear children of God, you might be living at peace at your home now, but someone might be trying to destroy the peace in your life or even create unnecessary problems within your family and you might not be aware of it. The Lord whom you worship knows it all. God will not allow any harm to come to you. They shall come and make peace with you. My dearly beloved, today, God is coming in favor of you. If only God were not with you, you would have lost your peace, wealth and much more.
Dear children of God, do not forget that the Lord is doing much greater things for you in secret. Thank the Lord for what He is doing for you in secret. Do not worry about anything. The Lord will perfect all that concerns you. He will watch over you as the apple of His eye.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Father, I know that You watch Your children day and night. You protect them as the apple of Your eye too. Lord, You know all that is being planned against Your dear children Lord. I pray that the Lord may place a hedge around Your children and protect them from all evil. Let there be peace in their hearts. Protect them wherever they go. 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 Isaiah 23:18 says, “Yet her profit and her earnings will be set apart for the Lord; they will not be stored up or hoarded. Her profits will go to those who live before the Lord, for abundant food and fine clothes”. God says that you shall be satisfied with the blessings from His hands.
According to this verse, the Lord is going to bless you with new income. When you commit to spend the little income that you receive in a faithful way, the Lord will see your faithfulness and will bless you with a better income. Matthew 25:21 says,“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!”
God sends His blessings directly from heaven. The income that you receive also comes from the Lord. The income that the Lord gives to you, must be spent wisely. When you misuse the income that the Lord blesses you with, God will be displeased. My dear children of God, use the blessings that the Lord gives to you, wisely.
The bible says, “God blessed and anointed Saul to be the King of Israel. Eventually when King Saul misused and disobeyed God’s commands and instructions, the Lord rejected him as King and God himself regretted for blessing Him”.
The book of James 1:17, says, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows”. Dear children of God, you should examine yourself today and analyse how you have spent your earnings. If you feel that you have not spent your earnings in a rightful way, repent to the Lord today and start afresh. When you do so, the Lord will be pleased with you and will bless you with a better income. The book of Psalms 90:17 says, “The Lord will bless the works of your hands”. According to this verse, the Lord will bless you.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Father, Your word says in the book of Luke 16:10, “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much”. According to this verse, Lord, may Your children be faithful in all that they do. I pray that You may give Your children the wisdom to spend their income wisely. May they stay blessed all the days of their life. In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
