Dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord had given for you today is from the book of John 16:14, “Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete”. As quoted in John 16:14, when we ask anything in His name, God will surely answer our prayers and will grant our requests.
In the Bible, we read about Caleb who whole heartedly followed the Lord. As soon as the people of Israel entered the land of Canaan, the man of God, Joshua distributed the land to the 12 tribes of Israel. The Levites were the people who ministered unto the Lord, in the sanctuary. So God said that the Lord Himself will be their portion. Therefore the other eleven tribes received the portion of their land.
At this time Caleb reminded Joshua that Moses had already promised to grant the land on which his feet treaded upon. Therefore Caleb chose Hebron a fertile mountainous land. He was confident that he could fight the giants Anakims that dwelt in that region and drive them out and capture the land. He had immense faith in God. Joshua the leader of Israel was pleased with Caleb, and granted him his request. Likewise God will bless you. He will grant the desires of your heart. He wants to set you high and make you honoured.
Today, you may be thinking to go to abroad or you may want to settle in a new place. For some of them, your children may be longing to go to abroad. Do not be worried. God will grant your desires. You will eat the fat of the land.
Deuteronomy 5:33 says, “Walk in obedience to all that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land which you will possess”.
God will not only make you to settle in the new place but will take care of all your needs. Every good and every perfect gift comes from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation. If you ask God, then He will bless you in a manner that your joy may be full. For it is a trivial thing for the Lord to perform a miracle for you. God will do great things for you. God bless you.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, teach my children to acknowledge You in all their ways and not to lean on their own understanding. Help them to seek You for their needs and increase their faith in You. Teach them to trust You at all times. Let them receive the blessings that You have in store for them. In Jesus name we ask. Amen.
