Dearly Beloved in Christ! I greet and bless you in the name of our Creator, Maker, and ever unforgettable Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of Genesis 50:20, “But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.”
We see that the brothers of Joseph thought to do evil, but God turned their evil plan in favour of Joseph. May be you have lost many opportunities because you have taken decision on your own without consulting with God the Father who created you and has given you life. Yet God has given you another opportunity. So you are expecting a good end. All of you reading this message are expecting a good end for all your problems or for all that you have planned to happen in your life. You are quite afraid as to where your plans will lead you to. When you surrender your ways to the Lord and according to the ways of the Lord, then you will receive blessing from the Lord.
Dearly Beloved, Joseph had to suffer hardship in the house of Pottiphar during his younger days, in Egypt. The devil had devised an evil plan for his life, by Pottiphar’s wife. Satan’s plan was to test his chastity. Satan thought that if Joseph cooperated with Potiphar’s wife to do the evil thing, then he could enjoy all that was available in his master’s house. Satan induced such evil plan in the mind of Joseph, but God remembered Joseph in Egypt. God doesn’t rest when trouble comes in the lives of His precious children. So when Joseph was troubled by Pottiphar’s wife, God rescued him from her evil plan and he was falsely accused by her and thrown into the prison. Even in the prison God showed him mercy through the Jailor. God allows good times and bad times in the lives of his children, but He puts everything into place to help you grow in the Lord. Even when God allows bad things to happen in your lives, He is able to turn the bad situation for the good purpose of your life. God came down in a marvellous manner and stood by his side, and caused him to depart from her presence. God had great plans for Joseph in Egypt. God says, “
I have prosperous plans for you.”Joseph submitted himself in the hands of God to be used for His GREAT purpose. Though he suffered in the jail for some time suddenly God brought him out of the prison and made him the governor of Egypt because he was able to interpret the dream of the Pharaoh because Joseph provided means of living for the people of Egypt, and saved them from famine.
Though his beginning was small and insignificant the latter part of his life was awesome. He was blessed abundantly. His life was an example that shows how bad things in life can result in unexpected good outcome. The key is how we handle events that take place in our life and the choices we make in our lives. Joseph’s brothers did evil to Joseph by selling him to Egyptian merchants. But there God honoured him since he surrendered his life to the Lord. God will honour you also in the same way. May be you are trapped by someone like Pottiphar’s wife, and you are unable to come out from their hands. But make a good choice not to give room for the devil to deceive you. God will deliver you as he delivered Joseph from her evil plan and save your life. God will intervene on your behalf and save you. He has better plans for you so he will never forsake you. But He will exalt you and make you successful before the eyes of your enemies. Joseph’s brothers who threw him into the pit and later sold him to the merchants, saw Joseph as the Governor of Egypt and they all bowed down before him and received food grains from Joseph. Joseph became a blessing to his brothers and his father Jacob. May God help you to find favour from God and be a blessing to others. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank You for Joseph, who in spite of good opportunity in Pottiphar’s house, refused to commit evil and departed from doing sin. May we also flee from sin and glorify God physically. Help us to endure troubles patiently and never murmur at God for the sufferings we go through. Help us to realize that everything is a passing phase of life and help us to reach out to the prize of the High calling that is set before us.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious life-giving word of the Lord, for today is from the book of Romans 8:28, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose”.
My dear children of God, all that was evil to you until yesterday, will be turned into good for you in the coming days. God is the One who does good things for us. Two thousand years ago, our Lord Jesus Christ came down to earth and went about doing good to all the people on the earth. Today, the Lord will come down to do good for you.
Do you know when He will come to you? He will come when you love the Lord. How can we love the Lord? How can we show love to Him who is in Heaven? Showing your love to your friends, relatives, brothers, sisters, and colleagues is showing love to God. The Lord will sometimes come to us in the form of human beings. There is a verse in the Bible that says, “I asked for food, but you did not give me. I had no clothing; you did not give me either. I was in jail, but you did not come to see me.” Many times, the Lord came to us in the form of a human being and went out with disappointment. From this day onwards, we shouldn’t disappoint the Lord. The Bible says, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength” and it is also said that “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
When you show love to all the people like showing love to the Lord, the Lord will watch that and do good to you. Today, there is good news for you who have experienced a lot of evil and torment. If you carry the Lord in your hearts and go out, Jesus who does good, perform many good things through you, to all the people, whom you come across, there is nothing for us to take away from this world. We did not bring anything when we came nor or we going to take back anything. Do good to everyone as long as you live. Then, the Lord will do good to us.
We do not expect evil from others instead we expect good, don’t we? When we expect good from others then we too must do good for others. We must do to others what we expect them to do for us. They too will expect the same from us. When you do this, the Lord who does good will perform a lot of good things in your house. God will break all the hindrances and you will receive double-fold blessings. So be cheerful always. Love the Lord for who He is. He is the sovereign God and knows all that you need to receive from Him.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, we realize that everything happens for good to those who love the Lord. We thank you for teaching us how to love you. Lord, bless my children, let all the things turn out for the good of my children when they love others and do good to them. I praise you for changing all the evil that they faced until yesterday to be tuned for good. Meet all their needs and keep them happy since they belong to You.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen!
Dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
The auspicious word of God that comes to you for today, is taken from the book of Exodus 14:14,” The Lord Will Fight for You. And You shall Hold Your Peace.” From the above verse the Lord says, He will fight for you, and you will remain quiet and see what God will do for you who believe in His name. Some of you have fought a good fight all this while, but you have faced only failures. You have been defeated by your foes always. So the Lord is now looking at you and saying, “ I will fight for you. You simply hold your peace.” God is assuring you that He will fight your battle. So don’t worry. Rely on Him. You have fought with men folks, with people in authority at your work spot, but you have never won any battles. Having lost all your battles you are simply sitting not knowing what to do. You have fought many battles in your own personal life. You have become a complete failure. You are an utter failure in your education. You are a failure in your Ministry. Many of you reading this message have gone through only failure after failure. You are so depressed and heartbroken because of your current state of life. So, God is saying, “Hereafter you don’t fight, I will fight for you.” You cannot fight alone, all by yourself. Even if you fight, you will only face loss and defeat. Fight or quarrel will always cause enmity. If you remain silent then God will fight for you. All you need to do is to share your problem with Him, tell Him that you are going through certain problems in your life. When God fights for you, He will bring a good solution to your problem.
Dear Beloved, in order to spoil your name, many people could have made several false statements against you. You remain silent and tell the Lord about it. If you fight or quarrel, of your own accord with others, then you are sure to spoil your name and reputation. God is teaching you a good lesson through this message. Learn from Him how you need to handle the situation, in your personal and social life. In the past we see that the Lord Himself fought for the people of Israel, against the Egyptians. When God fights, He does not need sword, knife and other weapons. When the people of Israel were suffering in the midst of the sea, the Lord just gave a sharp look at the Egyptians army. With His very look the chariots and the army were totally distorted and the wheels of the chariots went rolling away into the deep waters. The horses couldn’t move forward. They cannot go forward, because the Look of God was very powerful and frightening. The wheels of the chariots went hither and thither. The army fled helter skelter and finally got drowned into the sea. On seeing all this happening, the Egyptian Army realised that the God of Israel was fighting for His chosen people. So they knew that they will not be able to fight against the Israelites. Therefore, we see that the Egyptian army fled from there for fear of the Israelites. Many were drowned in the sea. So in case you have enemies through different forms, in different locations where you are put up, then remember that the Lord will fight for you. Forgive all of them and allow God to fight for you. Then you shall enjoy peace with all, including the so-called enemies. From today onwards let the Lord fight for you. Never fight with anyone in your study centre, in your business centre, in your neighbourhood, in your place of work, in the place of your ministry or any other place. If you happen to get yourself involved in a petty quarrel then try to calm yourself, and move away from that place, that person. You don’t confront with them. God will fight for you. You hold your peace. Just commit your problem to the Lord. He will make it to pass.
Prayer: Lord we thank you. We believe that there is a God, who will fight and judge and bring justice for us. For which we take pride in our God and also thank Him for His goodness. In case your children have fought with someone and have lost in their battle, and have spoilt their name also, and have gained weakness in their body because of this reason, then I pray that You will forgive them of their wrong doings and enable them to enjoy again a peaceful atmosphere. Give them a family feeling of being knit together. Help them all to have a friendly relationship with all the people in the neighbourhood, however bad they might be. Hereafter help them to submit all their problems in the hands of the Lord and allow You to solve all their hard situations. May the Lord go before and fight for their good cause and do justice for them. Help them to regain all that they have lost in their life.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
My Dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of the Lord and Saviour. God says, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” (Jeremiah 1:5). He will never forsake you (Psalm 34:10).
In God’s hands, we are like clay. When we surrender ourselves completely to be moulded according to His will, there is no doubt that He will mould us into a perfect vessel.
Once a couple visited a certain shop in a city. This shop had a good collection of flowerpots, pottery, antique pieces, and multicolored beautiful teacups. The couple were fascinated by these teacups. They wondered how those teacups were designed and fashioned. Noticing their interest, the teacup immediately spoke up saying, “You have no idea about how I was made. The reason for my existence is my master. I haven’t always been this perfect. My master devoted a lot of time in breaking, baking and elegantly fashioning me. The result of his handiwork is the reason I am a beautiful teacup in front of you.
The teacup went on to further elaborate on the process of its creation. The master would first take the clay and pound it well before kneading it. He would keep crushing and kneading the clay over and over again. The teacup would cry, “Please leave me, it’s very painful.” But the master went on to place the pliable clay on the potter’s wheel and swirl it. The clay felt dizzy and queried, “Master is everything over?” But the master replied, “Not yet.” He now placed the teacup in an oven which was burning hot, the teacup cried out unable to bear the heat. After a while, the master removed the teacup and placed it in freezing conditions. Later he started painting the teacup with a brush. The teacup became nauseous at the pungent fumes of the paint and begged the master to stop painting. But the master replied, “You are not ready yet.” Then suddenly he put me back into the oven, not like the first one. This was twice as hot, and I knew I would suffocate. I begged. I pleaded. I screamed. I cried. But the master said, “Just a little more then you will be a finished product. Be patient.” Finally, everything was finished. The master then proudly displayed the teacup to everyone. When the teacup saw itself, it exclaimed, “Look how beautiful I am. Master, you have created me exquisitely!” The master said, “You were patient when I put you through various tests. Now you are a finished product. You are what I had in mind when I first began with you.”
Yes, my dear children of God, as we read in Jeremiah 18:1-6, when we completely surrender ourselves to His will, He will fashion us according to His plans into a beautiful vessel. We are ordinary clay, let us yield ourselves to the master’s plan He will mold us into a useful vessel. Today believe you will be the perfect beauty of His creation! Let us surrender to Him in prayer.
Prayer: Lord, we thank you for this day. You have performed many good things in my life. Even now as clay in the potter’s hand I yield myself into thy hands. Exquisitely fashion me and mould me into a useful vessel. Help me to be patient to wait on you every day. Guide me in the path of progress so that I will be successful in my life.
In Jesus name.
Amen
Dearly Beloved, I greet and bless you all in the name of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ our Redeemer and Saviour of the world. Today, you are anxiously waiting to read the Living word of God. The auspicious life giving word of the Lord, for today is from the book of Joel 2:21, “Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things.”
Many families put together, forms a village. Many villages joined together, forms a city and many cities joined together forms a Nation. Today God is saying, “Nation, Do Not Fear, Rejoice and Be glad”. God will do great things for you, who dwell in the nation. God is not saying this to the nation but to the people living in the nation. No matter in which nation you live or in which city or town, or village or any hilly region you live, God wants you to rejoice and be glad and not to fear. Even today some of you are grumbling saying that you haven’t received freedom. You are in bonds. You say that you have no freedom of expression, no freedom of writing, no freedom in your work spot, in your business, in the school where you study or in the place where you do your ministry. You are hard pressed from all corners. Though they say you have got freedom you are unable to exercise this freedom in the house where you went to live as your in laws treated you badly. They did not give you the freedom to live happily. The house you went to live, was like a jail with no freedom at all.
While you are grumbling about not enjoying freedom, God is making every way for you to enjoy complete freedom. God is granting you, the grace, as a free gift to every family who are reading this message.
Isaiah 65:8 says, As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes and people say, ‘Don’t destroy it, there is still a blessing in it,’ so will I do in behalf of my servants; I will not destroy them all.
God says, He will not allow the blessings of God to be destroyed. He says, “By the word which I speak, your life that is being destroyed, will again bloom.”So don’t be afraid, God is bringing a change in your life. In case the place where you are staying at present is causing fear and anxiety. Hereafter you will receive complete freedom. The house in which you are living, would have been a hard situation. But God is changing that uncomfortable situation into a comfortable zone. So don’t fear about anything, God is uprooting all the fear from your heart. Therefore son, rejoice and be glad, O you daughter, rejoice and be glad. Because God is going to do great things for you. He is going to bring about a change in your life. Since He has great plans for you He is going to implement those new plans in your life.
“For if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.’’ You will fly like a free bird, and enjoy much freedom from today onwards.
Prayer: Dear Lord, we thank you. Let my children be delivered from all their captivity. If the Son makes them free they shall be free indeed. So help my children enjoy true Independence in their lives. May they fly about like birds freely in their lives. Help our nation to move forward, with all freedom and liberty. Remove all the spirit of bondages and slavery from my children by the name of Jesus Christ. Let my children be blessed in every area of their life. May the Lord perform miracles for my children, and bless them. Let the lord lift up my children in the same place where they had been living in bondage and slavery. Let them walk with true freedom. Let them prosper in all areas of their life and be in good health. Deliver them from debts, famine, witchcraft, sorcery, slavery, and , from all kinds of troubles .
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen and Amen.
