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 Isaiah 11:1, “A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse and a branch shall grow out of his roots”. Jesse is the father of King David. Jesus was born in the genealogy of King David.
God says that nobody can take away the blessings that He gives to you and your children. Those who are against you and your children might say that they will take away the blessings that you receive; but the Lord says that He is going to bless you with blessings that no one can take away from you. He is going to bless you with a permanent income, permanent job and a permanent life that no one can take away from you.
The book of Hosea 14:5 says, “I will be like the dew to Israel; He shall grow like the lily, And lengthen his roots like Lebanon”. The Lord will make you and your children to stand firm like the roots of Lebanon. He will plant you in the land and no one shall harm you. You shall be a blessing in the land that the Lord places you in. When a decision is to be made, pray and ask the will of God. Only when you do in accordance to the will of the Lord, you will be able to succeed.
For this, you need to have a steady mind. A steady mind is very important for a person. You or your children might have been in a dilemma in various situations. As a result, you might have had to face a lot of failures in life. Do not be dismayed my dearly beloved, the Lord says that He is going to bless you with a steady mind. He will lead you and your children according to His will. Henceforth, you shall take steady decisions. God will bless you with a steady mind, income, business and even a good life. All you have to do is to obey to the voice of the Lord and you will be blessed in your land.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord, I pray that You may give Your children the steady mind to take wise decisions. Teach them to learn to ask Your will in all that they do. Father, may they receive success for the works of their hands. Guide them in the way they should go and may they flourish in the land that You bless them. 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 3 John 1:2 “Beloved I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.”
My dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we understand that it is the prayer of St John for the Elder, Gaius and it includes three particulars, namely health of body, health of soul, and prosperity in secular affairs. These three things are necessary to the comfort of life. God expects that we prosper or succeed in all temporal affairs. In the business, in our career, in our marital relationship, whatever it may be, success of this sort depends upon the blessing of God, which makes one rich, it is to be wished and prayed for all such blessings.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God wants to bless us with good health that is of body. One has to be physically fit. For above all things, above all outward mercies, the most desirable is our good health, for without this the richest of dainties, the largest possessions, or the best of friends mean nothing to us or will be of no greater significance. Hence God prefers that we live with a healthy body free from sickness or diseases.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, To enjoy all the above goodness of God in the land of the living, One has to seek God with all of his mind soul, and spirit. For the soul is diseased with sin, and needs to be in good health. When all the sins and iniquities of a person is forgiven then he is said, to prosper. One must have a spiritual thirst for the gospel, the sincere milk of the word. He should feed upon it, and be nourished by it. He grows thereby and when it is in the lively exercise of faith, hope, and love, and when spiritual knowledge is increased or it grows in grace, and in the knowledge of Christ Jesus, and when the inward man is renewed day by day, with fresh strength, and when it enjoys communion with God, it becomes fruitful in every good work.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, just as St John prayed for the Elder Gaius, to be blessed with good health, sound spiritual life, I too sincerely desire that God bless everyone who reads this message, with good health, sound spiritual life and secular prosperity. May God bless you to draw closer to Him, and thus inherit, the blessings of God, for the blessings of the Lord makes one rich and does not cause sorrow. The Lord will not allow the soul of the righteous to famish. The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you. Worship the Lord your God, and His blessing will be upon you and your descendants.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. We thank You Lord, for Your good thought towards us. You want us to be blessed physically, spiritually, and with all secular blessing. Lord help us to worship you and obtain all the blessings from you. Teach us to pray for other fellowmen to receive all the blessings you have prepared for them.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
