Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you on this day, February 4th, through this daily auspicious message. May God bless you abundantly.
Let us read Isaiah 54:12: “I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of crystal, and all your walls of precious stones.”
This verse signifies a home. Generally, when we speak of a home, we refer to a family, because only a family’s residence is called a home. We do not call an animal’s dwelling a home—birds live in nests, and animals reside in forests. So, when the Bible speaks of a home, it refers to the dwelling of people, and that house is of great importance.
If Jesus dwells in a house, that home will be built with divine blessings. This verse beautifully describes such a blessed home: “Pinnacles of rubies” – If God is to bless you with a house of rubies, prayer is essential. Do not merely dream about it; pray earnestly, and God will grant it. “Your gates of crystal” – Gates signify entry and exit points. These gates should always be open to welcome the Lord. Your heart’s door should be open to hearing His voice. As Jesus said:
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him.” When Jesus entered Zacchaeus’ house, salvation came upon it. In the same way, your gates should be open to receive the Lord’s presence.
“Your walls of precious stones” – Walls symbolize protection. As the Lord declares: “I will be a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory within it,” says the Lord of Hosts. This means that God will surround your home with His divine protection, keeping your family safe. To receive a richly blessed family life, three things are essential:
Prayer – Earnest prayer brings God’s blessings.
An Open Heart – Your heart and home should always be open to the Lord. Divine Protection – The Lord will be a wall of fire around your family. God will bless you with these three things and honor you today!
A Testimony from Brother Stephen Raj, Thiruvottiyur
*”My family and I participate every month in the Anabarin Paathathil Fasting Prayer. We sit on the floor, listen to Brother Stephen’s message, and cry out to the Lord in prayer. We also take part in individual prayer sessions and receive blessings through Brother Stephen’s prayers.
I was once in a situation where I did not even have decent clothes to wear. But the Lord Jesus uplifted me! He blessed me with a wonderful life partner, and by God’s grace, within one year of marriage, we built a new home. We began construction with just ₹3 lakhs, but God miraculously provided, and we completed it at ₹15 lakhs. Today, we live in this beautiful home, which shines bright like rubies. We praise God for blessing us abundantly!” See how the Lord blessed this family—a happy marriage, a new home, and a prosperous life. Just as He did for them, He will do for you too!
Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You. Bless Your children with a beautiful home, and may You dwell in it. Let every home be under Your divine protection. Just as You promised David, “I will build a house for you,” and fulfilled it, we ask that You bless the homes of Your children, so they may always be before You. May every home be filled with Your blessings forever. In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I bless them wholeheartedly. May many good events take place in their families. Let every obstacle be removed. May house loans be paid off. Establish the homes of Your children, Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
