Dearly Beloved, 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 Deuteronomy 32:9.10, “For the Lord’s portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance.In a desert land he found him, in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him; he guarded him as the apple of His eye. “
From the above context we learn that the people of Israel were the portion of God. And Jacob was His inheritance. God sought for Jacob in a desert land. He protected him, cared for him and guarded him, as the apple of His eye. He was roaming about in the wilderness amidst howling people. Without anybody to care for him he was left alone in the rough desert places. In such a place God found him. In other way we can say, that he was weary and forlorn in his life and in his emptiness God found him. He had nothing for himself, His future was almost uncertain and in such a state of life God found him. Having found him, God himself, made him to realize his state of affairs. God instructed him, encircled him, and protected him as the apple of his eye. As you are reading this message you may be thinking that your life has been shattered like Jacob. And some of you are worried about your children wherever they have gone to settle, and you have no news about them. God is going to search them out for you because of the tears you have been shedding, regarding them.
Just as God found Hagar in the wilderness, struggling with her son, Ishmael, who was almost dying out of thirst. Having found her son God did not wish that he should die, of thirst but revived him with a spring of water to quench his thirst. Hagar was left alone with no one to help her, save her or comfort her. Neither Abraham nor Sarah came in search of her. But God Himself came in search of her. He found her and her son, in the most pitiable condition, and restored them. Abraham’s wife Sarah became jealous and asked her husband to banish them to the desert. Sent away with only small rations of food and water, Hagar and Ishmael were miraculously saved from dying of thirst by an angel. Hagar’s response to the Angel of the Lord’s message: “She gave this name to the Lord, who spoke to her: ‘You are the God who sees me,’ for she said, ‘I have now seen the One who sees me.’’ Hagar, out of gratitude, gives God a name: “ El Roi,” the God Who Sees.
Jehovah is a God who sees us in our affliction. He is a God who will find us out. Wherever we may hide ourselves, God will find us out. God will trace out your son or daughter who has absconded themselves and you are weeping over them. God will look out for them and bring them back to you. You don’t have to worry, just cast your burden upon the Lord. God will not only find out your lost children but also your lost jewels. Your lost property, your lost wealth and your lost document, your locker key too will be recovered. God will let them float before you just as the axe floated when Prophet Elisha chopped a twig and threw it into the river Jordan. Immediately the iron axe began to float, and the man took his lost axe gladly. God knows all about you and all that you have lost in life. He will thoroughly search and find them out for you. May be you are worried as to what is happening behind your back. God will help you find the hidden mystery in your life. Hallelujah! God will send His word to fulfil the purpose for which it was sent and having accomplished its task the word will return back to the Lord. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, we thank you for finding Jacob in the wilderness. You found him, protected him and met all his needs. We also thank You for searching all our lost goods and returning them to us. We pray that You will help us find out the hidden mystery in our life.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
My 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 Isaiah 40: 29, “God gives strength to the weary, and increases the power of the weak.”
God gives strength to the weary and power to the weak. Strength is very essential for one who is weary. And to those who are powerless more power is required. What does this mean? God says, through this verse, that He will give you what you are in need of. Tell the Lord what you are in need of. God knows our urgency and acts accordingly. Another verse says, “I know what your need is.” So, God knows what we need more than us. We may have certain needs as far as our eyes could see. That is what we will ask God to provide for us. But there are many things that we may not see with our eyes. But God knows all those needs that cannot be easily seen by us. We know about things that happen before us, but there are many other things that are unseen and unknown to us. They are the works of satan. He knows all about us from the beginning to the end.
Therefore, through the above verse, the Lord is saying that He gives strength to the weary and power to those who are very weak both physically, mentally and even spiritually. In the Bible, we can see that God blessed king Solomon with what he needed. But at the same time, He gave him what he did not ask for namely riches and wealth. Solomon asked for wisdom to lead the people of Israel. The Lord was pleased with his prayer but since he asked for wisdom to lead the people of Israel wisely with good understanding, God gave him not only wisdom but also great riches and wealth, which he did not ask for. God gave him more than what he expected because God knew very well, what he was in need of. Today God will give us what we need without any doubt.
My dear children of God, what is your need today? Do you need strength? Do you need a job? Or do you need a good life partner? Do you need a child? Do you need a house of your own? Or do you expect a favourable judgement from your court case? Or do you expect to advance your business? Do you need deliverance from your bondages? Are you praying for the salvation of someone? God will do it for you without any hesitation. God who knows your need will perform miracles in your life. He will fulfil your desire.
Prayer: Dear Lord, we thank you. Lord, you give strength to those who have lost their strength. And you increase the power to those who are weak and powerless. In whatever area they lack, you grant it to them and make them glad. There is nothing hidden from your sight, Bless my children with what they need, more than what they have prayed for, asked for or think about. Give them more than their expectation and honour them and help us to hear many testimonies from them.
In Jesus Name We Pray
Amen.
My 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 Psalms 18:35, “You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great. “
The Psalmist says, that God’s gentleness has made him great. Gentleness means kindness or tenderness. He is known for his kindness. He has a tender heart and he is a merciful God. That Is why the psalmist says, that the tenderness of God has made him great. He says, God’s mercy, God’s kindness, has made him great. So, these qualities of God can make you great.
You may be worried that you could not move forward in life. You may be saying that, “I am going backward. I am unable to go forward in my life. I’m growing weaker and weaker day by day. If I go on in this manner. what will happen to me? I will only end up in a deep pit. My life will be ruined.” Today, God’s kindness is falling upon you. Just as the tenderness of God fell upon David who was tending his father’s sheep and by the mercy of God, he became the king of Israel, God’s kindness will touch you .
We can also see Joseph, in the Bible who was put in jail because of a false accusation. But since he interpreted the meaning of the dream of Pharaoh, he became the governor of Egypt. Thus, we see how the gentleness of God lifted him to a higher level. He was suffering punishment in jail for no reason. In fact, he was very honest and faithful to God, but he was thrown into jail by Potiphar as one among the hundred prisoners. But a day came when all of a sudden Joseph was brought before the Pharaoh. Pharaoh had already heard about Joseph, that he was a Hebrew, and he had predicted the dreams of the butler and butcher and their dream came to pass as interpreted by Joseph while they were in the jail.
Joseph was exalted by God as the Governor of Egypt next to the Pharaoh. Joseph when tempted did not yield to sin instead he ran away from committing sin. So, God honoured him in that strange land. He saved the land during the period of acute famine. So, he was highly esteemed by Pharaoh. God exalted him. The reason was because of God’s gentleness. Today the tender eyes of God are falling upon each and every one of You who are reading this message. When God’s eyes fall on you then you all shall be exalted. God will surely make you great. God will make you great in your business, in your ministry, in your education, and in your work spot. Day by day, you shall grow greater and greater and become prosperous.
Prayer: Dear Lord, we thank you. Many of your children are going backward in their life. Those who are going downward and have become weaker and weaker, and for those who are running in famine and poverty, Lord I pray that your tender eyes may fall on such people. As a result, may your children achieve a greater position 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 16:24, “Ask and you will receive that your joy may be full.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, From the above context we realize that we need to ask God and receive our blessings. When we ask God, He gives us our heart’s desire. On that day the Lord opened a way to Canaan and led the people of Israel safely. They went to the land flowing with milk and honey. They were afflicted and oppressed by the Egyptians for 430 years under the cruel taskmasters. They were asked to make bricks without hay. The Israelites were treated cruelly in Egypt. They were engaged in the construction of huge buildings in Ancient Egypt from stone or mud. They were employed to carry heavy and large stones from one corner to the other.
Pharaoh limited the personal freedom of the Israelites and charged heavy taxes. They were whipped and tortured. They were beaten and smitten by the cruel masters. So the people of Israel cried out to the Lord God of the Fathers. The Lord heard their voice and looked on their affliction, hard labor and oppression. The Lord heard their cry and sent Moses the deliverer to the land of Egypt and delivered the people by performing many signs and wonders. With a mighty hand and an outstretched arm he led the people out of Egypt to the land of Canaan, a land flowing with milk and honey.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Maybe you need to go abroad and hence you want citizenship over there. To give you citizenship in a strange land is a trivial thing for the Lord our God. If God wants to place you in a land which you desire, He will surely grant you citizenship for you to settle there. Many of you are in need of Visa, Green card, P.R and other materials for your settlement abroad. God is making every arrangement for you to obtain those documents. Some of you, who are working abroad and are thinking that your project is about to an end, and you need to get your Visa within the stipulated time, if not your stay abroad will get canceled and you might have to return to India. Do not be worried. God is preparing the premium green card for you overnight. Ask the Lord saying, “ You have promised to give me and my descendants the land on which we set our feet upon. Ask God to give you the land you desire to settle down. And He will give you what you desire. God will give you generously the land you want to possess. God promised that He would give the land of Canaan, to Abraham and His descendants. And He fulfilled His promise. He told Caleb, that He would give the land on which he sets his foot upon. So Caleb asked God to give him the mountainous land “Hebron.” So God gave him the land which he asked for and fulfilled his promise.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God will give you what you ask for. God says,” I will make you glad according to the days wherein you have been afflicted”. Ask God to perform a miracle for you. He will bring an end to your poor state of life. He will beautify the meek. The Bible says, Delight yourself in the Lord, trust also in Him and He shall give you the desires of your heart. He will deliver you from your tight corner situation and liberate you from all your hurdles. He will bring peace and harmony in your life.
Prayer
Dear Lord, we pray that you will grant us our heart’s desire. Please fulfill Your promise in our lives. Teach us to depend upon You for all our needs. Lord, help my children to get their appointed blessings in their lives. Liberate them from their problems.
In Jesus name, we pray.
Amen.
My dearly beloved brothers and sisters 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 Psalms 18:28 “For You will light my lamp; The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.”
The Lord assures you, that He will light your lamp and will also enlighten your darkness. The first part of the verse says, that the Lord will light your lamp. Secondly, He says, that the Lord will enlighten your darkness. What an amazing statement of God this is. We sometimes have heard people say, will someone light the lamp of my son in his life. He is unable to do well in his life. To light the lamp means that in that particular area or in that particular person there is darkness and hence that area has to be lit with a light, only then there will be brightness in that area of the place or in that particular area of his life. Where there is light no one will say that light should be lit there in that place. The verse says, Lord, you will light my lamp. This means that the light was originally put out, so the light had to be lit.
In this verse, we can see that the Psalmist does not call any man to light the lamp but he calls on the name of the Lord to light the lamp that had been put out. So, God is going to light up the lamp that has been put off, due to various reasons. Once God lights up the lamp no one can put off the light. God is going to light up a lamp that cannot be put off forever. If God opens the door no one can close it. The pit of hell or the power of witchcraft cannot overcome you for any reason. No evil power can put off your light that has been lit by the Lord. Some of you regret that your child’s family life had been disrupted because of various reasons. God will reset your children’s life, by lighting the lamp of their family life. In case your business does not go well and the business light has been put off, God will reset your business and light the lamp of your business. And you shall do well in your business. Once God lights up the lamp of your business then it will shine before all others, and your name will be exalted, and your business will become famous in the midst of the people.
Similarly, your ministry will be like the city that is situated on the mountain, just like the lamp that is lit and put up on lamp stand, and not kept covered under a basket. It may be your education, or your marriage life may be in a lifeless situation. But God says, that He will light up your life as he lights up faded wick of a lamp. An untrimmed wick is dim and sometimes smoky. But the Lord will settle your life and help you to live amicably. In case your light is fading away the Lord will cause it to burn brightly. Even though it goes off, the Lord will enlighten your light and let it burn in brightly. So, tell the Lord that your light of education has faded and so ask God to enlighten your education God will hear your request and answer you. He will make you excel. Once the light is lit then brightness will be seen. All darkness will disappear. A new and bright future is awaiting you.
Prayer: Dear Lord, we thank You. Lord grant light to all your children whose light in their life, had been put off, or has faded due to various reason. Give them a bright future, a bright ministry. a bright business, a bright job and a bright spiritual life. In case someone is lying in depression because of a certain reason, uproot the darkness from them. I pray that all depression will disappear and they will become normal in health. Give peace to their mind. Let the God of light change the mindset and infuse in them with good knowledge and understanding. Take away their faithlessness. And help them to shine brightly.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
