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 Psalms 37:18-19, “The Lord knows the days, of the upright. And their inheritance shall be forever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil times. And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.”
My dear Brothers and Sisters, It is destined for man born in this world, to pass through three stages of his life. The period of harvest, the problematic period, and the summer season or period of prosperity. While a person is going through a glorious period of harvest, he is likely to face at times certain problems too. But while crossing through a period of trial, God comforts His children by saying, When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. And through the rivers they shall not overflow, you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned. Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God. The Holy one of Israel.
The summer season begins after the autumn. So is the life of a man. After he faces problems or trials then he goes through a period of prosperity. The above context refers to the Psalm where David, explains the contrast nature of the upright, and the unrighteous. He says that the Lord knows the days, of the upright. His foreknowledge made him laugh at the proud; but in the case of the upright he sees a brighter future. This is our comfort, always, that all events that take place in our life are known to God. And nothing in our future can take him unawares. No arrow can pierce us by accident; no danger can smite us by stealth, neither in time nor eternity can any unforeseen ill occur to us.
The futurity of a person trusting God shall be a continual development of the good things, which the Lord has laid up in store for him/her. And their inheritance shall be forever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time. Calamities will come but deliverance will come also. The righteous will never be disappointed. They will cast their burden upon the Lord. For God is not a friend in the sunshine only. He is a friend indeed and a friend in need. And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
David says, the righteous have that which is better than wealth, peace of mind, peace with God, and peace in God. Not one days work shall go unrewarded. Their days on earth are numbered but their heavenly happiness shall be forever. So my dear Brothers and Sisters, do not lose hope in God. Trust Him at all times. He will perfect all things in due time.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for encouraging us through thy word that You will fulfill all things perfectly in our life, in its time. We give you all the glory and praise. Lord you protect the righteous when he goes through troubles and rescues him from all danger and harm. Lord continue to help us as we pass through various stages of life. In Sorrow and in joy. Lord strengthen us each day of our life. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved 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 Proverbs 10:22, “The Blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, when God blesses a man, to be rich, He also gives him contentment, peace, and happiness which amount to a double blessing. But when the blessed God of heaven gives riches He does not include any sorrow along with the riches. For riches without the blessings of God brings only trouble with them. Speaking in general, Riches are from the Lord. And should be acknowledged, as such. And not attributed to the industry, diligence, sagacity but should be considered as the blessing of the Lord, upon the labours of men. In a spiritual sense it is the blessing, goodwill, and favour, of God that makes men rich in Christ. It bestows upon them his unsearchable riches that enriches them with all spiritual blessing in Him that makes them rich in faith and in good works and with the riches of grace and of glory.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, “It adds no sorrow with it.” By this we mean that no sorrow, goes along with the blessing. Riches enjoyed through the blessing of God are not added with sorrow. Either in getting, keeping, or losing them. As the riches of wicked men that are unlawfully gotten. But the good man without any anxious care, and sinful nature seeks the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Then all these things are added to him. And so it is with great delight, pleasure and cheerfulness he enjoys them while the wicked man is full of anxiety, distress and sorrow.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, This is eminently, true of spiritual riches, there is no sorrow added to them, the fruit and effect of them are peace, joy and comfort. We are taught how to value men. Not by their wealth but by their virtue. Good men may not be rich they may not have power and riches to do good. Yet as long as they speak out their mind, they make them themselves valuable and useful, we must honour those that fear the Lord. Because out of the good treasure of their heart, they bring forth good things. On the other hand, the wicked busy themselves up sometimes in their wickedness, with their vain hopes, which will deceive them. At times they are haunted with fears. And those fears will come upon them. Wicked men fear the punishment of sin. So the thing they feared comes upon them. Whereas for the righteous, it is true, sometimes have their fears, but their desire is towards the favour of God, and a happiness in Him, and that desire shall be granted.
So My Dear Brothers and Sisters, it depends on you as to how you make your choice. To obtain the blessing of the Lord that causes no sorrow or to obtain wealth and riches through sinful ways that is short lived and perishes in the long run. The Bible says, For God gives to a man that is good in His sight wisdom, knowledge, and joy, but to a wicked he gives travail, and sorrow in great abundance that they may give to him that is good before God. Because they are wholly dependent on God. May God help you to be blessed with all heavenly riches.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank you for showing us the way to get riches from God because Wealth and Riches and honour come from God. He has the power and might to make one great. So Lord teach us to look up to God for all our need and depend upon Him completely that He might exalt us in due time to be rich and wealthy and thus acquire the blessings of God.
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 Psalms 107: 20, ” He sent forth His word and healed them. He rescued them from the grave”.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we learn that God sends His word and heals the sick, and saves them from the mouth of the grave. God’s word is at work in the world even today. It is an active force. It governs both the physical and spiritual activities of men. The words of God are anointed by the Holy Spirit Himself. And they have the ability to completely change and transform you if you are willing to work with divine truth that is contained in the actual words. Jesus says, in the Bible that “You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” However, you need to know what the real truth is before the truth can start to work to set you free. This is why King David said, ” Blessed is the man who meditates in the law of the Lord day and night. Such a person will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water. That brings forth fruit in its season whose leaf shall not wither and what so ever he does shall prosper.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I wish to bring to your notice how God restored the organs of a kidney patient, that was dead, back to life. It was a spot miracle that happened in the Nagercoil meeting. After the meeting got over a family came up to me and one of the sons said, “Brother, both the kidneys of my mother are not functioning. The doctor says she needs to undergo Kidney transplantation.”We have heard that many miracles are happening in the meeting at Nagercoil. So we have come with the hope, that God would perform a miracle for our mother.” The mother’s name is Prema and she is 57 years of age. So I prayed for her. I said, “Lord I am sending your word that will bring back to life, the organs that are dead. I thank you for renewing her organs. I said a few
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I said the following words from the Bible. “God says, I will bring health and healing, I will heal My people, and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.”But for you who revere My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. Thirdly I said, The Lord will keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict, on you the horrible disease with which He inflicted the Egyptians. Further, I said, The Lord will sustain you on your sickbed and restore you from your bed of illness. I prayed
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Her sons went to the same doctor who had asked her to undergo kidney transplantation and asked him to check her up again. What a surprise the doctor reported that both the kidneys were renewed. And were functioning well. Heleluyah! As I was preaching on the third day of the meeting, I was informed that the mother and her children had come for the meeting with the doctor’s report. God had performed a miracle for their mother. They were filled with tears of joy to share what the Lord had done for their mother. She came running to me and leaned on me thanking me and she was overwhelmed with joy. Let God’s name alone be glorified. Thus God honoured their faith, answered their prayers and sent them in peace. Let glory, honour and praise be to God.
Prayer:
Amen.
Dearly Beloved in Christ, 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 John 14:12 , ” Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in Me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these”.
In the Bible we read about many miracles and sometimes think can such miracles happen today? Can a servant of God perform such a miracle in the present time. Well I wish to refer to the testimony of a Sister named Shirley from Ooty who shared her testimony after watching our programme in the Tamilan Channel. Her only son Samson, met with an accident while crossing the road from his school bus. He was hit down by an Omni bus and his skull broke and was hospitalised. After 15 days, he was announced dead.
The mother called up to me in tears and said, ”Brother, He is my only son and I am on the way to the burial ground. Please pray that God should strengthen us at this point of time.“ I was broken in my spirit. And immediately asked her to keep her phone in the ears of her dead son and I cried out to the Lord. “1 Corinthians 15:55 , “O Death where is your victory ? O Death where is your sting? Lord You heard the prayer of Elijah and brought back life into the dead body of the widow’s son. (1 Kings 17:22- Then the Lord heard the voice of Elijah and the soul of the child came back to him and he revived). I asked the Lord can only Elijah the prophet bring back life to the dead boy. Will You not revive the spirit of Samson again into his body and wipe away the tears of his mother? Lord You brought back life into the body of the widow’s son of the city of Nain, and wiped away her tears. In the same way Lord take pity on this boy Samson and revive his dead body to life”. I cried to the Lord earnestly, for I believed that the prayer of the righteous avails much”. Suddenly the mother burst with a shout of joy saying, “Brother, Samson opened his eyes and his feet is moving. They rushed the boy to the hospital. Doctors were amazed and after 20 days, in the ICU, he was discharged.
The prayer warriors in the prayer tower were continuously praying and were in touch with Sis.Shirley. Once while I was fasting and praying for the Anbarin Padathil Oru Naal meeting the Lord asked me to enquire about Samson. So I made a call to Sister Shirley. She said that all was well with Samson except that he will never be able to speak for the rest of his life. She further said that she was glad to at least see her son alive. I was very disturbed in my heart. So I asked her to keep the phone again in his ears. and prayed to the Lord. I reminded God about the incident of the deaf man who had an impediment in his speech and how the Lord Jesus 2000 years ago looked up to heaven and said “Ephphatha.” and immediately his ears were opened. And the impediment of his tongue was loosened, and immediately he spoke plainly. ( Mark 7:34,35.)
I too pronounced the word “Ephphatha.’’ Which means “Be Opened” with a loud voice and called upon the Holy Name of the Lord God of Israel, the Maker of the Universe to perform a miracle for Samson. I said, “Lord release his vocal cord that had been damaged in the accident and let Gods mighty power be revealed through Samson. Let every dead cells be revived in the name of Jesus. Lord, please undo the knot that has tied up his tongue from speaking. Loosen the bonds of his speech”.
Just then, the Lord heard my prayer. God loosened his tongue and Samson said, “Amma“. The mother was surprised to hear the voice of her son and so rushed him again to the Doctor. There was joy in her voice when she called up to thank me. The doctors were surprised as to how Samson could speak. When the disciples asked Jesus how he performed miracles and drove out demons. Jesus told them , “This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting”. (Mark 9:29; Matthew 17:21)
Samson who called out to his mother on that day continues to speak for ever. God is alive. He performs miracles even today. Praise the Lord. Are you desperately seeking a miracle for you or your loved ones. Do not worry. God will perform a miracle today.
Prayer: Our Loving Heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Thank You for hearing our prayer, however difficult the situation might be. Thank you for giving us the heart to trust in You at all times. Bless my children to completely depend upon You. May they realize that Jesus is still alive and is able to perform miracles even today for those who cry out to Him. In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, 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 26:7-9, “Then we cried out to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, and the Lord heard our voice and saw our misery, toil and oppression. So the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great terror and with signs and wonders. He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey”
Our God is a God who respects your voice. Your husband might not have respected your voice. Your wife might not have respected your voice. Your children might not have respected your voice. Because of that, your heart might be filled with agony. The Lord is telling a good news for such children. It does not matter as to who respect your voice or not, my Lord respects your voice.
The people of Israel were suffering for 430 years in captivity to the Egyptians. Initially, they did not realize the sufferings and the pain that they had to go through. As days passed, they were being treated very rudely. It was then that the people of God realized that they needed a change. They also believed that God was the only one who could help them from their problems. Therefore, in expectant of a change, they all looked up to God and cried out to Him for help. God respected their voice. To deliver them out of their captivity, God ordained Moses for their aid. He was able to perform mighty signs and wonders and only then he could deliver the Israelites from Egypt.
It is true that the Israelites were afflicted in that land. They were pressed by all sides; they went through a lot of agony. Through all these sufferings, they needed a miracle in their lives. They needed a breakthrough. God sent Moses and delivered His people from the land of captivity.
My dear brothers and sisters, even today, you might be pressed on all sides, broken by the problems you face, and your hearts might be filled with pain and agony. You might not have anyone to even console you. No one might understand what you are going through. Today the Lord says, “Do not be worried, for I have heard your cry for help.” Like how the Lord sent Moses to deliver His people, similarly, He will send someone to bring you out of your difficulties. Our God is a God of compassion. There is nothing that God cannot do. God knows all your problems. All you need to do is to trust in Him. He will deliver you from all your bondage and He will take you to the land flowing with milk and honey.
God respects your voice. He hears your cry for help. He is a God who cares for His children. God will not leave His children in oppression. He will deliver you. Do not be worried about the storms of your life. It will all soon pass away.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. I submit Your dear children into Your loving hands of protection. Lord, You can see the pain and agony that my children are going through. Father, You have said that You respect their voice. I pray that You may bring an end to their pain and agony and give them peace and happiness all the days of their lives. Send Your angels and deliver them from whatever problem that they are going through. Be with them and bless them. In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
