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 Daniel 3:17, 18,” If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace. And He will deliver us from your hand. But if not, let it be known to you O king that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up”.
The above context is about the three friends of Daniel namely Shadrack, Meshach and Abed –Nego. These three men were determined to serve the living God. They refused to bow before the gold image which king Nebuchadnezzar, had set up. They were clear about their calling. They knew the purpose of Gods calling in their lives. So they boldly challenged the king of Babylon. Though the king increased the heat of the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated they still refused to bow before the gold image. That was their determination for God. As a result the king commanded the mighty men to cast them into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. So they were bound and thrown into the midst of fire. The king was astonished to see four men loose walking in the midst of the fire and they were not burnt. The fire had no power over their bodies. The hair of their head was not burnt, nor their garments affected, and the smell of the fire was not on them. The king was surprised to see these three men strolling about, in the midst of fire alive. He strongly believed that there was no other God, who can deliver like this. So he promoted Shadrach, Meshachand Abed- Nego in the province. This is how God exalts His people. In a moment they were upgraded. Life was transformed.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, God can transform your life too if you will submit yourself to the Lord, like these three men who knew their calling and were firm in their decision. They had great faith in the God whom they served. I am sure God has a purpose for you in your life. You have been called to do something special in life. For He who is called you is faithful. You need to know the definite will of God. You should know why God has called you for. Where there is no guidance the people fall. But in abundance of counselors there is victory. You need to heed to the voice of God. Because our plans sometimes fall for lack of knowledge. The major factor in the down fall of Israel was because Solomon, began worshiping the false gods. Be firm in your calling. If you need to be healthy , wealthy, and lead a contented life, then you need to cling on to Jesus, who is the author and finisher of your faith. When you are firm about your calling then you can avert from being fallen. Whether it is your education, business, job undertaking or marriage settlement, seek Gods counselling. Then you shall be successful.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for instilling an urge to remain true to You in our life. To seek Your counselling in all that we do. Lord reveal your plan and purpose for me in my life. Help us to be like the three friends of Daniel who stood the test, and rose victoriously to greater heights. 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 Exodus 33:15 , “Then He said to Him, If your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here”.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, God can bless you only if you are willing to take Jesus along with you. It may be an interview, It may be to start a business,or even to the hospital because He is Jehovah Rapha. Or for that matter everywhere you go. When you take Him along with you then you will be successful in all your endeavor. The presence of the Lord makes a difference.To have His presence you need to be reverent, devoted to God and have the mind of Christ in you always. Hold on to Jesus for every need of yours. He will guide you and lead you in the right track. Ask God to come along with you in your daily walk of life. As Moses said,“Lord I am special if You are with me. “Yes you become special when Jesus lives in you. When you have Jesus with you, a wide door for effective service will be opened for you. You should have the desire to have Jesus. Moses said unto the Lord “If thy presence do not go with us, then we will not go from here. Moses was firm with His resolution. He said, carry us not from here.
God had promised Moses that He would accompany them to the land flowing with milk and honey. Moses could not forbear expressing himself after this manner, to show the high esteem he had of this blessing, and how worthless and insignificant everything else was without God accompanying them. Even Canaan, the promised land seemed nothing in comparison of it: it is not of much matter where we are, or what we have, if God is not with us; but if he grants his presence, the greatest hardships in a wilderness are made easy, and difficulties are got through with pleasure. Therefore God’s presence is a must to be successful in life. Likewise to have Jesus in the family makes a happy home.
For He gave His life on the cross of Calvary. Tell the Lord that He is everything in your life. Then you will experience success in your life.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank You for being with us each day of our life. May your presence come along with us daily. We need You to help us in all that we do. Be the center of our life. Make us successful in our life. In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. As I waited upon the Lord, the blessed word that the Lord gave me to bless you today is from the book of 1 Timothy 6:6, “But godliness with contentment is great gain.” You must be thankful to God and be content with what the Lord has blessed you with.
It is sad to know that people are dissatisfied with what they have. Some husbands grumble about their wives. Some wives grumble about their husbands. Some parents grumble about their children and so on. God hates such comparisons because God is the one who predestines families. God knows what is best for you. If God has planned something for you, He will do it the best way. The Lord is not a partial God. He will not wait to see you suffer in life. If there is any trouble that you are facing, it will be only to shape you and to make you a better person. It will not be to harm you. Dearly beloved, be content with what God has blessed you with.
We are not given the authority to compare any of God’s creation to the other. Pray and ask the will of God before you take a step in life. Do not be envious of what others have. Be thankful for what God has given you.
God has a perfect plan and purpose in your life. Be original in what you do. Be yourself. God will bless you and take you to greater heights.
God Bless You.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. I pray that You may bless Your dear children. Father, teach them to be content with what You have blessed them with, so that you will be able to bless them more and more. In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. As I waited upon the Lord, the blessed word that the Lord gave me to bless you today is from the book of Mathew 25:23, “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!” When you are faithful in little things, God will make you to rule over great things. Some of you are taking your own steps to reach your goals. You need to be precautions while making a decision.
Some people fail to understand that, because of the eagerness they have for the worldly gains, they tend to go away from the presence of God. When a person faces any crucial situation in their life, they tend to shift their attention from God to money. Instead of keeping their faith on God, they keep their faith in the worldly gains.
God has called you with a purpose. Do not go after money or the pleasures of the world. Faith can move mountains. Believe in the words of the Lord. It will all be fulfilled.
Repent from all your wrong doings and ask the Lord to help you to be faithful in little things. Depend totally on God for all your needs; then God will make you to rule over many things.
God Bless You.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. I pray that You may bless Your dear children. Father, teach them to be faithful in little things so that they may rule over many. Give them the grace to face all hardships in their 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 John 14: 27 , “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to You, not as the world gives do I give to you,Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
The above verse is spoken by Lord Jesus Christ. He makes his last will and testament and as the best legacy He could leave them. He bequeaths peace unto them. Jesus left the gospel of peace with them. He made a covenant of peace by His precious blood that He might reconcile the minds of men to God and Christ. Just as Christ has kept his disciples in peace one with another, He left his peace with all mankind. He was about to leave his disciples so He diffused His peace upon them. He wanted all men to live united in peace and joy. Since He was acclaimed as the Prince of Peace.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, What have you been afraid of ? What are the matters that has disturbed you in your mind ? Take it to the Lord. Leave it in His hands. He will settle all your problems. For He is the peacemaker. He says, My peace I give to you. He does not give you the peace as the world would gives, for it is short lived. But the peace that Jesus gives is everlasting. Therefore do not be afraid, for though you go through many struggles in your life yet His peace will sustain you. It is in such hard situation that you need to hold on to Him firmly. Holding on to Jesus firmly, should be the attitude of every Christian, to enjoy his life in this world and the world to come. Some hold on to Jesus to obtain something from Him. After they receive what they need they just drift away from Him. This is a wrong attitude. One must always, acknowledge the Saviour for who He is. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you for the peace you have granted to us. Help us to abide in peace and serenity. Remove all unwanted thoughts that cause distress and pain. Fill our hearts with perfect peace and joy. May the Lord help us to reconcile with God almighty in every step we take. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
