My dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. On this day, the 20th of June, it is a great pleasure to meet you all through this message. Today’s Auspicious word of God for you is taken from the book of Habakkuk 2:4, “But the just shall live by his faith.”
My dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above verse we understand that the just shall live by his. faith. Today many of you are sitting so worried since you don’t have the means of living. There is no way for income, there is no way to secure a job, there is no way for permanent income, So you are sitting so sadly and thinking very seriously about these issues. You are saying, “What am I going to do for my food for today? What am I going to do without a job? Will someone call and offer me a job? You are sitting and thinking in all these ways. My dear children hereafter, all these things will come in search of you. You shall be blessed with a good job, good income, and will be blessed with a better life. Please believe these words and say, Amen. To receive all these things God is instructing you to do a small thing. That is to have faith. Believe that you will get a job. Think that a way will open for you to secure an income. God is not going to leave you in this manner. That kind of faith you should have. This verse says that a man who is just shall live by his faith. He should have that kind of faith in him. If one does not have faith then his life becomes a disappointed one, and he becomes a coward. I have noticed certain people. They won’t have anything but still they will be happy. They believe that the Lord will surely lead them .
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, If you see many missionaries in the village, they live their life only by their faith. When I see the missionaries serving the Lord in the villages I am really surprised to see how they live by their faith. There in the village, very few people come forward to help and support these poor missionaries. Even if they desire to support they will not have sufficient means to help these missionaries as most of them are poor. But even in that situation, they live cheerfully by faith. They live trusting in the Lord. God is feeding them. It is very surprising. I have rejoiced in the Lord, when I learnt how these missionaries are being taken care of by God. Once when I met one of the village missionaries and he said, “ Brother, I was just thinking as to how I was going to manage, for food today. Though if only I had some rice I could make some porridge. But all of a sudden a brother came from somewhere and gave 25 kilos of rice and went away. He is not a known person to me. I don’t know from where he came and how he returned.” He was very happy. When he was wondering how he was to meet one day’s meal, to receive a bag of 25 kilos of rice is unbelievable. Like this I have heard many incidents. Someone will say, “ I thought there was no vegetables at all and how I was going to manage, the day without vegetables.” But suddenly a farmer came and gave us fresh vegetables. He brought tomatoes and threw in heaps at my doorstep. Many would say in this manner. That is how God leads his people. Because he knows that he just lives by his faith.
My Dear Children of God. In case your faith has been shaken due to certain reasons, then learn to increase your faith in the Lord. God has said in his word, “ I who clothe the flowers of the wilderness, won’t I clothe you ? I who feed the ravens, wont I feed you? Does the raven cook its food ? Or does it suffer in any way to get his meal? No, not at all. The raven wakes up and keeps on moving. We have sometimes seen people calling out to ravens saying, “ cah, cah,” and offering food for it. Or they would place some food somewhere and it would come and eat it as well. And if not these ravens would eat the mangoes and guavas from the trees and fill their hunger. God has kept them safe by providing their needs. Today If you think that there is no way for a job, there is no way for a good income, or there is no way for food, then ask God to provide your daily bread with faith. God will surely meet your needs. Just say a small prayer. God will open ways and means for you to meet your needs. And then a day will come when God will exalt you to such an extent, that you will be able to feed a number of people. So for those of you who say that there is no way for food, for a job or for permanent income. God will provide permanent jobs for those who have temporary jobs. And for those who have no income through their business, God will cause them to earn more income through their business hereafter. God will meet all your needs and cause you to live. So hereafter you shall not borrow money from others but you will lend to many others. You should say, when you ask the Lord to remember all those who do not have food. God will provide food for you and also, to all those who do not have food. He will feed you also in case you do not have food to eat.
Prayer: Dear Lord, we thank You. I pray for all the children who read this message in the name of Jesus. Lord you said, “ That the just will live by his faith.” The foundation for one’s livelihood is his faith. Faith is the Belief in God. Lord let not your children place their faith on themselves, or on their talents, or on their wealth, but let them place their faith on the living God, and let them be fed daily by the heavenly manna. Let them not lack any more for their food and water. Take care of them, Lord. You know all about the tight corner situation of your children, their debts, famine, and so deliver them from all their tight corner situations. And you who saved David from all the struggles, by which he was surrounded from all four corners, please save or rescue even your children. Cause them to experience the wonders in their life. Lord, this morning if there is someone who needs to attend an interview, for a job, or interview for the tender, may their journey and effort be fruitful. May they lead a glorious life. In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
