December 17, 2025
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all on this 17th of December through this Auspicious word.
Today, the Lord Himself is coming and standing before you. All those who are ready to receive, take and read Isaiah 45:14: “The labour of Egypt, the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you, and they shall be yours.”
In the past days, many things that belonged to you went away and did not return. But today, what is the Lord saying? The labour of Egypt, the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans—men of stature—shall cross over many places and hindrances and come to you. What went away from you in the past, the Lord is bringing back today through this Auspicious word. Not only what you lost, but even things you never possessed before, the Lord is giving to you afresh.
That day, David and the 600 men with him lost their children, wealth, cattle, and possessions to the Amalekites. But when the Lord intervened, not only was everything that was stolen returned to them, but they also received additional blessings—everything the Amalekites had taken earlier as well. What went out returned with increase. Many of you are thinking, “Brother, I have lost many things.” Today, along with what you lost, much more is ready for you to receive.
The labour of Egypt means there will be no lack in earning. The merchandise of Ethiopia means there will be no lack in profit. Loss has come to an end. The merchandise of the Sabeans—everything—the Lord will give to you. From now on, the Lord will help you save money and will open ways for you to prosper.
Today you may be saying, “Lord, I am in great scarcity. I am in poverty. My children are eagerly asking for new clothes for Christmas. I desire to buy crackers and gifts for them, but I have no money. Lord, I am struggling greatly.” Are you saying this in tears? Today, pray claiming this verse. Say, “Lord, I take this word for myself. All that I earned has gone in vain. If my negligence, carelessness, or sin was the reason, forgive me, Lord. Give me one more opportunity to recover everything I have lost.” Ask this sincerely in the presence of God.
Not only that—make yourself holy today. Every December, there should be an eagerness for holiness in our hearts. If you have lost that holiness in the past—whether in December or at any time until today—return to the Lord immediately.
Even today, many families are in deep sorrow. Parents are crying and saying, “I lost my child at a young age.” Some say, “My child left me forever. If only they were in a faraway country, it would have been bearable—but they died due to an accident or illness.” Many of you are saying, “This year I have no heart to celebrate Christmas. How can I celebrate when I have lost my child, my husband, or my wife?” Are you saying this in tears?
Today, the God who binds wounds will arise. This year, many families have experienced wailing, groaning, and agony. In such a situation, you may ask, “Lord, how can I celebrate?” The Lord will comfort you and encourage you. If you have lost a child, the Lord can give you more children. If you say, “I am old, how can I conceive?” the Lord can raise generations even through your surviving children.
Look at Naomi. When her husband died, she thought her lineage had ended. But the Lord used her daughter-in-law, and through her, a child was born. The Bible says, “Then Naomi took the child, laid him on her bosom, and became a nurse to him.” That is our God.
So today, wipe away your tears. Do not be angry with God or say you will not celebrate the festive season. Instead, say, “Lord, come near me, stand with me, comfort me, and give me peace.” The Lord will surely give you peace, riches, and wealth.
Testimony
“When I was five months pregnant, the doctor said the nasal bone of my baby was underdeveloped and that there were chances of Down syndrome. They took an NIPT blood test and said the results would take 10 to 15 days. I was in deep sorrow. I sent a prayer request to Brother Stephen for the Anbarin Paathathil meeting. Brother prayed and replied with a Mangala Vaarthai. I kept confessing that word every day. What a surprise! The medical report came back normal. By God’s grace, I delivered a healthy baby through normal delivery.
We were also living in a rented house. I again sent a prayer request to Brother Stephen to pray for us to own a house. He prayed, and by the grace of God, five days before my baby was born, the Lord helped us move into our own house.”
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. You have said that the labour of Egypt, the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans shall come over to us and be ours. We pray that this word will be fulfilled in the lives of Your children. Whatever was missed, slipped away, lost, or seemed impossible to recover—Lord, intervene and do miracles. Redeem what was lost and honour Your children. Even now, look upon those who are celebrating their birthdays and wedding days today. According to this Auspicious word, perform miracles for them.
Amen.
