Beloved Children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Bible says in Proverbs 1:7, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”
What is the difference between wisdom and knowledge? Knowledge is something we acquire through education — we pay fees and attend school to learn about specific subjects. However, wisdom is a divine gift, freely given by the Lord to those who live in the fear of the Lord. Today, those who possess God-given wisdom, even without formal education, find success. On the other hand, those who have knowledge but lack wisdom often face failure. Therefore, wisdom is far more important than knowledge.
To receive this divine wisdom, what must we do? We must live in the fear of the Lord, guided by our conscience. We should flee from evil, avoid association with wrongdoers, and walk in righteousness. The Bible teaches us not to follow the path of the wicked nor sit in the company of scoffers. The Lord alone is our hope. If you live as God’s obedient children, your life will be blessed — your relationships, career, and income will flourish. Divine wisdom will work within you, guiding you in every aspect of life.
Testimony
Brother M.S. John Xavier from Chennai shares this powerful testimony, “My son James completed his B.E. and started working, but his workplaces were not suitable. He changed jobs multiple times, each ending in disappointment. This left him depressed and sorrowful. We sought an appointment to meet and pray with Brother Stephen. When the time came, we shared our son’s struggles as a family, and Brother Stephen prayed for us. During the prayer, through prophetic words, Brother Stephen said, ‘Business is not your path. You will get a job in a big MNC, and you will travel to many countries.’ Later, James took an exam along with 20,000 others and secured the 46th rank. He then completed his MBA in Coimbatore. By the grace of God and through Brother Stephen’s prayers, my son received a job in a prestigious Australian company. Today, he works there with a good salary, and from his first month’s earnings, we offered Rs. 1,80,000 to God’s Love Ministries as thanksgiving. God fulfilled His promise and made his name great abroad. He will do the same for you.”
Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You. According to Your Word, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” May each of Your children arise and shine with divine wisdom. Open doors for permanent jobs and bless them to lead their families responsibly. Bind those who have been separated from their spouses in Your divine wisdom, and bring unity to their families. Bless them with wise progeny and break all barriers of the womb. Let Your children receive divine healing and long life.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The Bible says in Proverbs 13:23, “A poor person’s farm may produce much food.”
“A poor person’s farm may produce much food.” This means that the Lord knows your struggles. He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. Just as Isaac sowed seeds and reaped a hundredfold harvest, so shall the Lord bless you abundantly. In the very place where Isaac sought to survive, God made him prosperous, wealthy, and great. Today, wherever you have gone to survive — whether in a city, village, or foreign land — the gracious hand of the Lord is descending upon you. Though you once sowed much and reaped little, the Lord promises that hereafter, even if you sow little, you will harvest abundantly. The times of Rehoboth and the blessed days of Isaac will shine upon your life.
If you have faced losses in business, hold on to this word and pray. Cry out, “Lord, I am poor. Once, I was better off, but my business failed. I was middle-class, but now I am below the poverty line. Help me, Lord!” The Lord will help you. The Lord will then entrust you with greater responsibilities. For those expecting government jobs or opportunities abroad, trust that these blessings will come to pass. Jobs that were taken from you will be restored, and you will experience abundance.
Testimony from our Anbarin Paathathil meeting: Many years ago, a father, mother, and young boy named Sam attended the meetings regularly. They were a struggling family, but they remained faithful. Whenever I prayed for Sam, the Lord revealed that He would take him to nations and make his name great. Sam worked diligently, and by God’s grace, he secured a good job in Belgium at a young age. He later bought land in Chennai, built a house, and I had the privilege of dedicating it. Today, Sam is married and blessed. The same God who lifted him will lift you. As I prepared this message, the verse “A poor person’s farm may produce much food” reminded me of Sam. Today, the Lord has exalted him. Very soon, we are launching the God’s Love Ministries App, and Sam has sponsored the entire project. In Belgium, the Lord has established him in a great position because he feared God, obeyed his parents, and honored the church. Live as a witness like Sam, and the Lord will do the same for you.
Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You. Today, You said, “A poor person’s farm may produce much food.” Let this promise come to pass. Though they sowed much and reaped little, may Your helping hand prosper all that they do. Bless their businesses, their jobs, and the work of their hands. Open the floodgates of heaven so that they may lend and not borrow. Do miracles in their lives. Safeguard them from debt and grant them surplus. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Bible says, in the prophetic book of Malachi 4:2, says, “But to you who fear My name, The Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings.”
The “Sun of Righteousness” is one of the identities of God. It reveals our Lord as a just and righteous judge. On whom does the Sun of Righteousness arise? On those children who fear His name, who live in reverence of their conscience. The Sun of Righteousness will arise upon children who live according to the commandments of the Lord. This means the Lord’s Holy Spirit will come and dwell in them. Our Lord Jesus Christ will reside in them as the Sun of Righteousness and will do justice for them.
Today, for all those who have not received justice and are in tears, the Lord says that receiving justice is simple: submit yourself today to live a life in the fear of the Lord. Live in reverence to your conscience. During these days of meditating on the cross, these Lent days, we should examine ourselves deeply in our spiritual lives and use this time to transform ourselves. If you say, “I have not received justice in the court, in my family, at my workplace,” know that today, to receive justice, you must submit yourself to righteous living. Live in the fear of the Lord and have a heart to walk according to His commandments, and the Lord will surely bring justice to you.
Luke 18:7-8 says, “And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily.” Today, if your family case is in court, the Lord is saying He will do justice. Whether it is a property case, an ancestral wealth dispute, a workplace issue, or a legal heir job case, no matter the nature of the case, submit yourself to righteous living, and the Lord will perform a miracle.
Testimony:
Sis. Kiruba Rani from Chittoor shared her testimony: “My daughter had severe stomach pain. Though we went to the hospital, the pain did not reduce, and she continued to suffer. During that time, we contacted the God’s Love Ministries prayer center through telephone. I requested them to pray for my daughter’s healing. The prayer warrior prayed earnestly, and from that moment till now, the stomach pain has not returned. She is completely healed. Not only that, but my neighbor also caused many problems against my family, robbing us of our peace and leaving us in great sorrow. I contacted God’s Love Ministries again and requested prayer for these issues. The Lord heard the prayers offered by the prayer warrior and granted us peace. The Lord, the Sun of Righteousness, did justice in the problems that arose against us. He will do the same for you.”
Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You. In the name of Jesus, I greet and bless Your children. Transform them into children who live in the fear of the Lord and walk in His ways. Let repentance take place, and may they submit to righteous living. Through this submission, I pray that they receive justice. Wherever they have been denied justice, my Lord, the Righteous Judge, contend and battle for them. Redeem what is rightfully theirs and do justice. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Beloved Children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Bible says in Zephaniah 3:15, “The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst; You shall see disaster no more.”
If the King of Israel is with you, you will neither see nor experience disaster. The Lord did not say you wouldn’t witness challenges, but He promised you would not be harmed. You may have faced many trials and heartbreaks in life, waking up with questions like, “Why am I living?” or “For whom am I living?” But remember what Job said, “When I looked for good, evil came to me.” Yes, evil may have come, but the day arrived when God turned that evil into double blessings.
Consider Joseph’s story: his brothers plotted against him, throwing him into a pit and selling him into slavery. Yet, in the very land where he was taken as a slave, God raised him to become the ruler of Egypt. The evil intended against him became the very path to his greatness. Today, whatever evil has come against you, hold onto the feet of the Lord, who turns evil into good. Trust that He will transform your trials into blessings. You will not see harm.
Testimony of Brother Veeramani from Chennai:
Brother Veeramani felt weak and sought medical attention, only to discover a blockage in his heart valve. In this desperate situation, he attended the “Aruthali Thedi Oru Naal” healing meeting, where he asked Brother Stephen for prayer. As Brother Stephen prayed, he declared, “The Lord Jesus is giving you a new heart; He is removing all the blocks in the valve. Hereafter, you will not see evil.” True to the prayer, when Veeramani returned to the doctor, the medical report showed no blockage. What once seemed like evil turned into a miraculous blessing.
A Prayer of Blessing:
Loving Lord, we thank You for Your promise that we shall see disaster no more. Many of Your children have faced countless trials, feeling shattered by one hardship after another. According to Your word, may they no longer see or experience disaster. Open new doors for them, Lord. In the very place where they faced harm and abuse, make their names great. Just as You transformed Job’s trials into double blessings, do the same for Your children today. Lord, bring forth many good things in their families. Let auspicious events unfold, and may they hear good news. Break every barrier and let miracles happen. Open closed wombs, heal every deadly disease, and bring complete restoration. This very month, may those yearning for children conceive and be blessed with healthy offspring. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Beloved children of God in Christ. I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Bible says in 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
In your life, what are the things you are afraid of? Today, the Lord is promising through His Word that He has not given us a spirit of fear but a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. Are you afraid of darkness, exams, interviews, the future, or anything else? As you read this promise today, the Lord is removing all unnecessary fear and blessing you with these three virtues—power, love, and a sound mind—through the Holy Spirit.
From now on, you will receive strength, and you will begin to show love to those you once struggled to love. The Holy Spirit will descend upon you, reside in your heart, and enable you to experience the fruits of the Spirit—love, joy, patience, kindness, and self-control.
A sound mind means living peacefully, free from confusion. Do you struggle with making the right decisions? Today, the Lord is granting you clarity and wisdom to choose the right path. Whatever decisions you are struggling with, the Lord will guide you to make the right choice, leading to goodness and blessings.
Testimony from Sister Jebamary, Chennai
“I was haunted by an unknown fear that I couldn’t understand. Because of it, I felt hindered and unable to do anything. In such a situation, I attended the Anabarin Paathathil Fasting Prayer meeting. After the meeting, during the individual prayer session, Brother Stephen prayed for me. The Lord answered that prayer, and the spirit of fear that had been tormenting me left me. I thank the Lord for delivering me from the spirit of fear.” Through this testimony, we can understand that when fear leaves, courage automatically fills your heart. May the Lord remove all the fears from your heart and fill you with His courage. The Lord will do great things in your life.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. I pray for Your children who are struggling with fear. Remove every fear from their hearts and fill them with courage. Let the Holy Spirit of power, love, and a sound mind be with them. Bless them to be strong, loving, and wise. Help them make the right decisions without confusion. Just as You honored Daniel for his right choices, may they also be blessed with success and favor. Let all their work prosper, and may they be honored. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
