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 on this February 16th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you abundantly.
What is the Auspicious word the Lord has for us today? Let us read Jeremiah 33:3: “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”
The Lord is looking at you and saying, “Call to Me.”
In this world, whatever problem may arise, there is only One who can truly solve it—the Lord Jesus Christ whom we worship. You may go to a doctor, but healing ultimately comes from Him. You may approach an official or a politician, but it is the Lord who brings the final approval. Every answer and breakthrough comes from Him.
The Lord is not saying that you should not make efforts. You must take steps. But before you go, call upon Him. Submit the matter to Him and then proceed. When you call on God and surrender the issue into His hands, He will bless your efforts.
The Lord says, “Call upon Me, and I will answer you.” When you go to that place, you will receive a favorable answer. The work will become easier. Even before you arrive, the Lord will speak to the hearts of the officials. He will prepare the way for you.
This is a good habit you must develop from today onward.
If you are rushing to the hospital for an emergency, pray on the way: “Lord, I am going to see the doctor. I do not know what will happen, but I submit this into Your hands.” The Lord says, “I will show you great and mighty things which you do not know.” He will turn the situation for your good in ways beyond your imagination.
Not only that—those who have stopped family prayer must begin again. Before leaving home in the morning, submit your family to God. When you return safely, thank Him.
Consider the life of Jephthah. Though rejected and chased away by his own family, he became a mighty man because he had a habit: before going to battle, he submitted the matter to the Lord, and when he returned, he gave thanks. Both are important—prayer before and thanksgiving after.
Are you going regarding your child’s marriage? A medical test? An interview? A court case? Submit it to the Lord. He will do great and unsearchable things for you.
Testimony:
“I have been married for nine years and had no children. My mother and aunt attended a prayer meeting in Bangalore and asked Brother Stephen to pray for me. During the prayer, he declared the Scripture: ‘Whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure; they are satisfied with children.’ I claimed that verse in faith and prayed. The very next month, after nine years of childlessness, I conceived. Now, by God’s grace, I am in my ninth month of pregnancy.”
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You for this beautiful morning. Give Your children the habit of calling upon You in every matter. Whatever they are going for today—whether it is a marriage proposal, a court case, a job interview, a medical test, or ministry work—may they submit it to You first.
Let them not return empty-handed. When they come back home today, may they return with good news. Lord, bless those celebrating their birthdays and wedding anniversaries today. Adorn them with honor and lift them to higher places. May this Auspicious word be fulfilled in their lives throughout this entire year.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
