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 Luke 18:7,8 “ And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.”
From the above context we see that God will avenge his own elect, who cry out to Him day and night. In the above context we learn that Christ uses the parable of the widow woman and the unjust judge to encourage us to be continually in prayer, not to lose our hope in God, when the answer to our prayers get delayed due to various reason, to pray without ceasing – to remain in constant communion with the Lord, as we request Him for the blessings we need, from His gracious hand, especially when those blessings seem to be delayed.
Our God is not as a worldly judge, Who is reluctant to bestow His blessings, but rather a generous Father Who gives good gifts to all His children without any variation. Nor are we likened to some lonely, poverty-stricken, unsupported widow, for we are children of God, beloved of the Father, accepted in the Beloved and inheritors of the kingdom of heaven. Because we do not have to grovel for meagre scraps at the bench of an unbelieving judge, for we have free and open access unto the throne of grace and the riches of His love in Christ Jesus so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
We are to be continually in prayer, to pray without ceasing , to remain in constant communion with the Lord, knowing that God answers our prayers. His delay is not inactivity or disinterest, but a preparation to make all things work together for good, to those that love God and are called according to His purpose. Will not God grant justice to His elect who cry out to Him day and night?
We are a special people, whom God has loved with an everlasting love. Hence of his own sovereign good will and pleasure, He chose to offer everlasting life and salvation to us. As a result we are peculiarly His: and these He will avenge and vindicate, right their wrongs, do them justice, and deliver them from their adversaries, and take vengeance on them. He hates sin, and wants to do his justice to those who lift up to Him in prayer, whose prayers he always hears; whose tears he puts up in his bottle; and whose importunity must surely be thought to have more regard with Him, than that of the poor widow with the unjust judge: May God give you the grace to trust God at all times. Then The Lord will be merciful to you and your children and grant all your prayer requests for God takes pleasure in those who hope in His mercy. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord help us to maintain a trusting attitude of prayer, knowing that any perceived delay is Your willing preparation. Thank You that You are our Father and we are Your children. Teach us to wait upon You for every need of ours. Thank You Lord for hearing our prayers and answering our prayers at the appointed time of our need.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
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 Genesis 30:43 “And the man increased exceedingly and had much cattle, and maid servants, and men servants and camels, and asses.”
From the above context we learn that Jacob prospered in the house of his uncle Laban because of his hard work. Firstly He tended the sheep. His salary was changed ten times by his unkind uncle. Later he partnered along with his uncle in sheep rearing and earned much. Only after becoming exceedingly prosperous he returned to his homeland Canaan. He says, “While crossing Jordan this staff was my only treasure. It is the staff that the Lord gave me in my hand. I held on to this staff, and departed to my uncle’s place from my father’s home.” We see from the above context how Jacob worked hard to make a good living. Jacob held on to the staff that the Lord had given him till the very end.
Are you making use of your talents that the Lord has given you? The master gave five talents to his servant and when he came back the servant gave the master double the talents by working hard and making a good profit in his business. The master appreciated his hard effort. God also will appreciate your hard work. Therefore make use of the talents that God has bestowed into your hands. The Lord has blessed you with good education. You have acquired a good degree, so you must make a good income or earn well by putting up hard work. You must earn your royal bounties.
We often see how much pain parents take to give sound education to their children; they at times face problems because of them and are forced to stand before the Principal and face shame and humiliation too, yet for the sake of their children they bear it all cheerfully. But some children fail to make use of their education, and hurt their parents by not going to work. They become lazy and stay at home, instead of working hard. Such children can never prosper in their life. Everyone wishes to come up in life. No one ever wants to go down in life. To become a great person, you must work hard with the staff that you have in your hand.
Jacob was very strong in his decision that he would not go back to his homeland, until he became a wealthy man. Only after he had earned well and made a lot of wealth he went to his homeland. That should be your decision too. That you will work hard and become great in life. There is nothing impossible to them that believe in God. For all things are possible to him who believes. May God bless you to earn your Royal Bounties.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank you for the staff you have given us to earn a better living. Teach us to make use of the staff carefully. Help us to work hard and aspire to be great in life. Give us the strength to work hard. May we like Jacob make good decision in our life and achieve greater heights.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
