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 66:13, “As One whom his mother comforts so I will comfort you, and You shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”
“My Dear Brothers and Sisters from the above context we know that Pastors and Ministers are instruments of God and are of great comfort to those who are grief stricken. Yet God is the sole efficient cause of comfort to mankind. Since He is an immense and infinite Being possessed of all perfections and yet revives the spirit of the humble and contrite; as He is the Maker of heaven and Earth and all things and those whom He comforts are, ordinary dust and ashes, moreover, He is just and righteous. Though people are ungodly and guilty of backsliding and sometimes revolting against God Himself. Yet He comforts them as He has loved them with an everlasting love, and has given His only begotten son, for them and quickens them though they remain dead in sin.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, we read that just as a Father pities his children So the Lord pities those that fear Him. Today God says, I will comfort you just as your mother comforts you. In the worldly sense, there is no other greater character who can comfort us more than a mother. Because a mother carries her child within her womb for ten long months and also suffers from pain while begetting her child. During her pregnancy she cannot sleep peacefully. She suffers from vomiting and she is not even able to eat what she desires during the time of her pregnancy. She cannot run about and do her work as she likes. Sometimes she struggles to breathe. Some suffer from giddiness. She patiently goes through all these issues before she delivers her baby. She is cautious about her baby in the womb and takes great care till she brings forth her baby.
My Dear brothers and Sisters, Passing all these hurdles she sacrifices almost ten months to give birth to her child. Similarly after the baby is born she is not able to bear any problem that her child undergoes. Sometimes the baby might fall down from the bed or cradle she immediately runs to pickup her child, carries in her arms and hugs and kisses the fallen child. That is the love and comfort a mother shares. There is much more one could mention about a mother. In the same manner our God takes great care of us and comforts us throughout our lifetime. Our God is the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in our troubles. He says, “ Look I shall not leave you as orphans. I will come to you.”David says, Lord when I was troubled within my heart, Your consolation brought me great joy. God further consoles us by saying, “I even I am He who comforts you. Who are you that you should be afraid, of a man who will die? And the son of man who will be made like grass?
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, What more do you need when you have a God on your side. I know many who read this message are going through various troubles, in your life. Apostle Paul encourages us by saying If God is on our side then who can be against us? This is the assurance you need to have as a Child of God. Remember in this world you will have tribulation, but take heart God has overcome the world. May the Lord comfort you. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for revealing to us the greatness of a Mother. And that You comfort us as a Mother comforts her child. We praise You Lord for comforting us at times of troubles. Give us the strength to overcome our grief and sorrow by holding on to You. Help many to be good mothers to their children. Grant them the grace to grow their children in the fear of God.
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 JEREMIAH 24:6, “I will build them and not pull them down. I will plant them and not pluck them up.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we understand that our God is a God who builds up our life and does not pull us down. Today many youngsters are reading this message with much fear as to what would become of your life. You seem to be so worried because you have just started your life, and never guessed that you would end up in such a miserable state of life. May be you lost your spouse at an early age in an accident and you don’t know how to go about with your life. Your future seems to be darkened. You seem to have drowned in deep despair. You are wondering if someone could help you out of all your hurdles.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God wants to set His eyes upon you to do good unto you. He will fulfil the desires of your heart, He will hear your cry and save you from all your problems. Some of you may have lost your spouse and remain as young widows in your parents house. God has kept an open and favourable door for you to rebuild your ruined life. Just as Ruth found favour in the eyes of Boaz a rich man, we pray that you will find favour in the eyes of God and you will find a new way in your life. God will restore to you all that you have lost in your life. God will bring in the right partner into your life to brighten up your sorrow filled life.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God says, “Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance. And the young men and the old together, For I will turn their mourning to joy. Will comfort them and make them rejoice rather than sorrow. God says, My people shall be satisfied with My Goodness. For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the Lord. Thoughts of peace and not of evil. To give you a future and a hope. God will save you from your horrible situation. Call upon Him in the days of your trouble, He will deliver you and you shall glorify him.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, You wonder if your life will pass away, in this manner or whether your life has come to an end. You desire to have another opportunity in your life, so that you can rebuild or reconstruct your life. To such people God says, I know the pain of your heart, therefore I have kept an open door. Some of the parents who are reading this message seem to be burdened because of your children, since your daughter has come to live with you. May be she has lost her married life. She might have been deserted by her husband too. May be your son is living alone though married. He has been hurt by his spouse because of difference of opinion. But God is in control of your family and your problems. We may not realize that it is the work of the evil one who causes damage in the family life of many couples thus obstructing them from having an inheritance. They destroy the creation of next generation from being into existence. Thus satan is putting an end and closing the next generation from giving glory to God.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, May God help you to realize this problem and help you to overcome the trials and tribulation that you go through in your family life. God cares for you and always wants to build your home and not pull it down by any means. May God give you the grace to walk carefully and deal wisely in selecting your life partner and help you live a happy family life. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You Lord for making us understand that it is the work of the evil one in destroying the harmony of our married life. Teach us to be cautious in our life, to walk carefully and deal wisely in all that we do. Make us to realize the importance of family life and live accordingly.
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 44:26, “Who confirms the word of His servants, and performs the counsel of His messengers. Who says, to Jerusalem, “You shall be inhabited. To the cities of Judah, You shall be built.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above passage we learn that God confirms the word of His servants or his prophets which He had foretold to them. And He also performs the counsel of His messengers. We find that the work of redemption wrought for us by Christ encourages to hope for all blessings from Him. Our transgressions and our sins are as thick cloud between heaven and earth. Sin separate us from God. They threaten a storm of wrath. When God pardons our sin He blots out. He dispels this cloud of sin from us so that the way to heaven is open again.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Do not be discouraged. Let not Israel be disheartened for nothing is too hard for God. Those that learn to know Christ, see all other knowledge to be foolishness in comparison with the knowledge of God. Thus the prophesies of the scripture confirm the truth about the redemption of Christ, to His servants.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, as a prophet of God and His messenger I pray that God will rebuild you again. Just as Jerusalem was in ruins, and God wanted it to be again inhabited, and just as the cities of Judah were to be rebuilt, God wants to rebuild your life. When the Bible says, “You shall be built again” that means, you are in a fallen state of life. Some of the areas of your life has been broken or has been ruined. When our life is injured due to some reason then we are hurt much, because it causes severe pain in our heart.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, the pain caused in the heart because of the ruined state of life is greater than the physical pain caused due to some injury in our body. The more one suffers from mental pain he goes through depression. Sometimes he is pushed into suicidal thoughts which instigate him to even commit suicide. Some end up with mental sickness due to failures and struggles they go through in their family life or because their life has been broken apart. They even go through severe mental disease that leads to great trauma in life. They are altogether in despair and hopelessness.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, are you in despair? Have you lost all hope in life? Do you think that there is no remedy for the damage caused in your life? Well the Lord of Israel confirms that there is a future ahead of you when you fix your eyes on the Lord Jesus. Learn more of Him. He will open new doors for a bright future for you. He is ever mindful of you. Only He can solve your problem and comfort you of your pain, struggle and the trauma that you are going through in your life. For He will neither forget you nor forsake you. Cast your cares upon Him and He will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved. Your heavenly Father knows what you are in need of. God says, “Come unto Me all you who labour and are heavy laden. And I will give you rest.”Only Jesus can give you complete rest. Surrender your life to Him. He will give you peace that passes all understanding. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we remain grateful to you for having pardoned us of our guilt and sins. Teach us to learn more about You. Repair the damages caused in our life due to various reasons. Help us to fix our eyes on You Lord. Make every possible way to rebuild our lives so that we will not be a burden to others rather depend on you for our sustenance.
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 44:4, “They will spring up among the grass, Like willows by the watercourses.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters ,from the above context we learn that, Israel is called Jeshuran, because of God’s mercy. Jeshurun means the upright one. God owns all those who serve Him in truth and in spirit. He will help them over their difficulties and in their services. Water is the emblem of the Holy spirit. As water refreshes, cleanses and makes the earth fruitful, so does the Holy Spirit influence the soul. This gift of the Holy Ghost is a great blessing.
Willows grow on the banks of streams. Willows grow rapidly and luxuriantly. It denotes –abundance, increase , vigour, and beauty. Such plants grow like trees, planted by the water course and in well watered fields. They grow and flourish. They never grow dry. similarly the children of God are expected to grow in virtue, hope, piety and zeal. The Bible says, and he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth fruit in its season. His leaf shall not weather, and whatever he does will prosper. They will be a blessing to many.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, To those who fear and walk according to the precepts, of God, the Lord will pour his blessings. And one of the richest blessing which can be imparted to his people, is that God’s spirit, should descend, on their children. The spirit of God alone is the source of true happiness and prosperity to our children. All other things like property, learning, accomplishment, beauty and vigour will be vain. Only by his blessings and by the influence of piety that the righteous, will spring forth as among the grass, and like willows by the streams of water. The weeping willows of Babylon grows to be a large tree. Its branches are long, slender and pendulous. Usually planted by the banks of the rivers, ponds, and over springs. Their leaves are long and narrow. When dew falls over the willows they make a lugubrious appearance. This plant is often sought for ornamental purpose.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God will establish these blessings in your lives also. Many parents are crying over their children as they have fallen back in their character. May be their spiritual activities have changed. Today God wants to fill them with the Holy Spirit, and wants to draw them back to his fold. God is willing to fill your children with His divine wisdom and Knowledge. The Bible says, God filled Bezalel with the spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship. Likewise God wants to fill them with spiritual knowledge and infuse in their minds the desire to flourish and prosper for God and His glory.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today God is willing to bless you with these gifts, especially to those who fear Him. Therefore submit yourselves to God with fear. Bring an end to the days, when you made decisions on your own. Make God your guide and ask Him to help you to be faithful and honest. Try to do good to others, speak words of faith and blessing. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord pour Your spirit upon Your children. Give them the discernment to acknowledge You as the Lord and Master of their life. Help them to be like the willows that grow by the streams and be an ornament worthy of praise. Let them acquire good nature like virtue, piety and be zealous for God.
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 Luke 1:74,75, “ To grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, Might serve Him without fear, In Holiness and righteousness, before Him all the days of our life.”
My dear brothers and Sisters, from the above context we understand, that the God of Israel, has raised up a horn of Salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ, to redeem the people from the hands of our enemies. The enemy indicates the devil who constantly fights against us. The devil caused Eve to sin against God as a result both Adam and Eve lost the form of godliness, and also lost the connection they had with God. They lost the wonderful experience of moving with God, in the Garden of Eden because they deceived them easily to sin against God.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, you too might be easily deceived by satan to commit some mistake and go far away from God. The Bible says, “Your iniquities have separated you, from your God. And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He will not hear.’’ Therefore you ought to be careful not to sin against God. God therefore sent His only begotten son that whoever believed in his name shall not perish but be saved. He came to save all those who are caught up in sin and shame. Hence decorate your hearts, rather than your house with good deeds. Be pure, holy and perfect in all that you do. Never do that which is displeasing to God.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, the gospel shows that we were once utterly in the dark but the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Jesus Christ appeared to give light to those that sit in the darkness. It is reviving. It brings light to those that sit in the shadow, of death as condemned prisoners, in the dungeon. It is to direct and guide our feet , in the way of peace. The above verses refers to the Promise of God, regarding His mercy, His covenant, and oath. The prophet Isaiah foretold the birth of Christ saying , “’ For unto us a Child is born. Unto us a Son is given. And the government shall be upon His shoulder. His name will be called wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Thus Christ came into this world to deliver us from all our enemies both worldly and spiritually.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You Lord for sending Your son Jesus Christ into this world to deliver us from all our enemies and redeem us from sin and shame. Help us to come out of darkness into that marvellous Light. Teach us to serve the Lord without fear in Holiness and Righteousness.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
