Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all this April 18th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word for us today? Let us read Job 23:14: “For He performs what is appointed for me.”
For each one of us, the Lord has predetermined blessings. What He has appointed for you will surely be fulfilled at the right time. He will not give it before or after the appointed time. If it comes too early, you may not be able to handle it and may lose it. If it comes too late, it will not bring the intended blessing. But at the right time, the Lord will fulfill it perfectly.
When your appointed time comes, showers of blessings will pour into your life—into your home, your family, and the work of your hands. You will prosper and become one who lends and not borrows. No one can hinder what God has appointed for you. Until that time comes, humble yourself under His mighty hand and prepare yourself to receive His blessings. Do not run ahead of God to take things into your own hands, as that can lead to loss and trouble—whether in marriage, career, business, or ministry. When the Lord gives, it will be perfect and satisfying.
Therefore, keep declaring in faith: “He performs what is appointed for me.” It does not matter what your age is. At the right time, the Lord will bring the right life partner, bless you with children, grant you the right job, establish you in the right place, and give you the ministry and anointing meant for you. Develop this faith, and the Lord will do great things.
Testimony
A husband had completed his studies to become a teacher but was unable to secure a job. He also attempted bank exams but did not succeed. Despite this, he faithfully attended the APO meetings in Chennai every month and prayed with Brother Stephen for a job. After one such prayer, the result of an exam he had written was released. He scored 192 marks and was selected, receiving a government job as an assistant engineer. What the Lord had appointed for him was fulfilled at the right time. The Lord will do the same for you.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. According to Your word, You will perform what is appointed for each of Your children. At the appointed time, let every blessing come to pass without delay. Break every barrier and do miracles in their lives. Let every promise be fulfilled as “Yes” and “Amen.” Even now, look upon those who are celebrating their birthdays and wedding anniversaries today. From this moment, may this Auspicious word be fulfilled in their lives. Amen.
