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 11:11,12, ‘the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinks water of the rain of heaven: A land which the LORD thy God cares for the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above passage we learn that God is about to take you into the New Year 2020, with all the blessings of God. May be in the bygone years you would have gone through many disappointments, loss and failures, but in the coming New Year God is taking you to a (land) filled with valleys and hills which means you are about to enter into a year of blessing. Because the Lord says, “’ I have come to seek that which was lost.” Hence He will recover all that you have lost in your life, in the New Year with a double portion of blessing for I know that Jesus Christ is one who does, what He says for God is the strength of Israel, who will not lie, nor relent.
Give thanks unto the Lord for the New Year that is to come. Try to hold on to Jesus and walk along with Him throughout this new year. And the Lord will be pleased with you if you walk along with Him. Many whom you trusted might have deserted you, but God will neither leave you nor forget you. So leaving behind all bad habits follow Jesus. The New Year will be like a land filled with hills and valleys with plenty of rain and water which indicates God’s blessing. The more the land is covered with mountains and hills the more you have the protection of God. In the New Year the protection of God will be upon you and your family as never before. The Hills are a symbol of freshness and greenery in your life. Just as Jerusalem is surrounded with mountains God’s
favour and mercy will surround you and your family in the coming year. The word of God says, For those who fear God, He will descend upon you and encamp around you, and will protect you. As a wall of fire until this day you would have incurred great loss and suffered many problems, in your life. But God who changes all situations will change all your sorrows into joy and comfort you on every side.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, The worldly security like, Black Cats, Z Security, may be temporary but Godly security will be eternal. Hold on to the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Rock, Fortress, Deliverer, Strength and Refuge for all those who trust Him. Enter into the New Year, holding on to Jesus for He says, “I will keep you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with my hands.”Yes Jesus will protect you from all danger and harm that is to come in the New Year. God promises to protect not only you, but also your children and grandchildren, wherever they may be placed. His arm embraces and protects. His hand wipes your tears. His righteous right hand will hold you and lead you all through the New Year. So move along with Him into the land you have inherited, with Hills and Valleys.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Until this day, you might have lived in parched and sun scorched land. But hereafter you are going to possess a land with rich greenery. God will eradicate all your poverish state of life and will settle you in a large fertile land flowing with milk and honey. A river of prosperity will flow into your life, your house, and into your family. One who opens the door that no man can shut will open the rivers of blessing . So your house will be filled with new wine, oil, wealth income, anointing and all the barriers that stand as a blockade from flowing will be broken. All yoke will be torn apart. Just as the land of Canaan drew water from within and supplied water to all the territories, you will be able to save from your income, for you and your children. God is removing all poverty and there’s going to be plenteous in the
New Year. God will bless the work of your hand and you will lend to others and not borrow.
The Lord cares for you. Last year you were so worried that no one cared for you. But there is one who cares for you, and He is the Lord Jesus Christ. There was no one to inquire about your welfare, but this year God will provide people to inquire and console and comfort you. He is mindful of you and so he will set people for you. He met the man who sat beside the pool at Bethesda for someone to help him for 38 long years but Christ came forward to help him. He said, “’ Rise up and walk” and He immediately began to walk. God remembers to meet all your needs and reward you richly.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Finally God says, that His eyes are upon you from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Just as the eyes of God were upon the people Israel, He will keep His eyes upon you and lead you in to the land flowing with milk and Honey. When His eyes are upon you then no satan can have a hold on you. You shall receive deliverance from all works of the evil spirit. This New Year will be a Year of Deliverance. Those who ran behind worldly things will in future run after God and His Glory.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for helping us enter into the New Year. Teach us to hold on to Jesus and follow His good steps. Keep us safe from all danger and harm. Help us to inherit the blessings of God. Thank you for leading us into the land of Hills and Valleys flowing with water and a land ever fresh and greenery.
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 Exodus 6:6 , “ I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgement.”
From the above context we come to understand that our God is a Righteous Judge. God will not only provide house for the desolate but also deliver them from bondages that they are caught up with. Some of you might have been caught in debts, in some unwanted issues. Or may be in some sinful activity. God is going to deliver all of you from such issues. In the Bible we read about a widow who was caught up with huge debt. God delivered her and her sons. And she was relieved from her bondage.
One day certain woman of the wives of a prophet, cried out to Prophet Elisha, saying that her husband was dead, and that he was a man who feared the Lord. But he had left behind a huge debt which she could not repay. And the creditor was demanding her two sons to work with him as slaves. As compensation for the debts incurred by her husband. The woman was much troubled in heart so she cried out to the Prophet. So Elisha said to her, what shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house? And she said, “Your maid servant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”Then he said to her, “Go borrow empty vessels from all your neighbours, as many as you can. And when you have gathered them go into your room you and your sons and shut the door from behind. Then pour the oil that you have, into all the empty vessels, and set aside all the full ones.”She did as the Prophet Elisha had said.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, when the vessels were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is no other vessel” So the oil ceased from flowing. Then she went and told the man of God, that she had filled in all the vessels. And the Prophet said to her, “Go sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons live with the rest.” So the woman paid her creditors and lived in peace with her sons thereafter. Thus God delivered the woman and her sons from their bondage.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Are you in bondage? Have you been caught up with huge debt, or you involved in court case or have you been harassed by someone? Are you suffering from incurable disease? What is your problem that you are facing right at this point of time? Doesn’t worry, God will descend from His Holy Mountain to help you and deliver you from your bondage. Jesus said, “My judgement is just.” Righteousness and Justice are the foundations of God’s throne. So God will do justice to you also as he has promised. For He is the Rock, His work is perfect, For all His ways are justice. A God of truth, and without injustice. Righteous and upright is He. When we have such a God why worry. Take your problems before the Lord in prayer and He will cause you to be victorious in life. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you for telling us from the scripture, how God rescued the woman in bondage. Teach us to be depend upon God for all our needs. May we not get trapped, in any unwanted issues? Prevent us from being caught up in bondages. Deliver us from all unrighteousness and help us to be just and honest in our lives.
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.
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 Psalm 102: 16 , “The Lord Shall Build up Zion. He shall regard the prayer of the destitute. And shall not despise their prayers.”
My dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we learn that God wants to rebuild Zion. And when the Lord builds Zion, He shall appear in His glory. God was pleased with the building up of Zion, So He wanted to manifest His glory. The Lord appears thus glorious in His work because it is a work that pleases Him. Yes, He wanted to deliver His people from bondage, for once Zion was in ruins. In rebuilding Zion and restoring the splendour of the place where He had been worshipped so long pleased Him. So, He wanted to display His true character, as a God of Glory, truth, power and goodness.
It is commonly said that the rich join with the rich while the poor go along with the poor and destitute. In other words money joins hand with someone who is rich, wealthy, and pompous in character. After all we are mortal creatures, but God is an everlasting God, the protector, of His children. When we consider our darkness, our own vileness, we have a reason to fear that our prayers will not be received in heaven. But God who is rich in mercy is always, willing to hear the cry of the poor. We have an advocate who intercedes on our behalf and answers our requests.
The Bible says, for the needy shall not always be forgotten. The expectation of the poor shall not perish. Therefore God approves the prayers of the destitute. God never neglects your request and will perform a miracle today for you. God will build a house for you. God wants to build a house and establish you. Many of you are struggling in your life without own house. You are living in rented house and often you are shifting from place to place in search of a new house. God has promised to build a house for the deprived. For He wants to be the Father to the Fatherless. “Fatherless” does not mean one without a father, but those who are suffering. They are known as Fatherless. God will meet the needs of those suffering and fatherless people. God wants to be a Father to the Fatherless, He wants to be a defender of the widows. He will bring justice to them. For the Bible says, He sets the solitary in families and brings out those who are bound into prosperity.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, God who promised David, that he would build him a house would surely build a house for you if you wait on Him. As children of God approach Him as your Abba Father, and ask Him to provide a house for you. He will fulfil the desires of your heart. He will build a house for you as He built Zion. For you are sons and daughters in Christ, therefore you are no longer slaves but a son. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we are thankful to know that You are the Father to the Fatherless. Lord we praise you because You will meet all the needs of the Fatherless, and deliver us from all bondage and lead us to prosperity. May we learn to cry up to God as Abba Father, and plead our cause. We will remain grateful to You as you hear the prayer of the destitute and not despise our prayers.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved, 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 Luke 2:30 “For My Eyes have seen Your Salvation. Which you have prepared before the face of all peoples. A Light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, And the Glory of Your people Israel.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we understand that there was a man Simeon from Jerusalem, he was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon Him. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death before he had seen the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. So he was led into the temple by the Spirit of God. And when the parents Joseph and Mary brought in the child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, Simeon took the baby in his arms and blessed God and said, the above words, “My Eyes have seen Your Salvation. Which You have Prepared before the face of all peoples. A Light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, And the Glory of Your people Israel. ”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Simeon who awaited the birth of Jesus Christ says, My eyes have seen the Redeemer whom God has sent, to spread the Gospel, for the Gentiles. To give them a bright light to those who sat in darkness. Jesus was that Bright Light. Simeon derived hope and joy on seeing the infant child, ’Jesus Christ. He was so excited to see the baby Jesus and therefore declares,”My eyes have seen thy salvation. ”He saw in that infant child, the means, of deliverance for the world.” This child in his arms was the Saviour, the Salvation itself, the salvation of God’s appointing. Holding Christ in his arms he felt very comfortable. He says, how comfortable is the death of a good man, for he departs in peace, with God, peace with his own conscience.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Joseph and Mary marvelled at the things that which were spoken of. My Dear Brothers and Sisters, those of you who are looking forward to that Great Light need to receive Christ into your heart if you need that light. God wants to bring you out of darkness into that marvellous Light. Darkness refers to satan, and Light refers to God Almighty. Gods wants to give Bright Light to the gentiles. So open up your heart today, that He might enter into your heart and bring Bright Light into your life. Allow God to dwell inside of you. Then darkness will disappear, and a Bright light will emerge in your heart, Bright Light will shine all around you. God appeared as the glory of Israel in order to perform glorious things in your life. He will take you to great heights in the days to come. He will give you fame, and praise, among all the peoples of the earth. God will bring honour and glory and magnify His name through you. During this season, help others, do good to the poor and needy especially to the widows and the fatherless. For there is nothing better, than being zealous of good works, both spiritual and evangelical. God will be pleased with you and will bless you all the more. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for bringing Light into our lives and dispelling all the darkness. Help us to open our hearts and receive Jesus as our Saviour. Teach us to see Christ as the Redeemer and Deliverer of mankind from the curse and bondage of this wicked and cruel world.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
