September 20, 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 on this day, September 20th, through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
The Auspicious word the Lord has for us today is from the book of the prophet Ezekiel 37:26 – “I will make a covenant of peace with them.”
Whoever you are in enmity with, the Lord will help you to make a covenant of peace with them. First, the Lord Himself is making a covenant of peace with you. Maybe you did something that displeased the Lord, and because of it, His anger brought struggle and destruction into your family. Yet, the Bible says: “For His anger is but for a moment, His favour is for life.”
He also says: “With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; but with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you.” Sometimes the Lord’s anger may last only for a moment, but immediately after, He grants long life and blessing. The Bible records His words about Ephraim: “How can I give you up, Ephraim? My heart churns within Me; My sympathy is stirred.” Even in His anger, the Lord is still thinking of you with love.
Today, the Lord looks at you and says: “Yes, I was angry when you went far from Me, but now I desire to remove My anger and give you long life. I will make a covenant of peace with you.”
When the Lord makes peace with you, He will also bring peace with those you cannot reconcile with on your own. In the Bible, Laban came with his family and an army to harm Jacob. But the Lord met Laban in the night and warned him, “You may plan evil against My child, but when you meet him, you must speak only peace and bring no harm.”
In the same way, whoever plans evil against you, whoever thinks of destroying your family, business, or ministry – the Lord will meet them. Instead of destruction, He will turn it into peace, and He will cause matters to end peacefully.
Testimony
Praise be to God!
We are from Nagercoil and attend the Anbarin Paathathil fasting prayer meetings, where we continually receive God’s blessings. My daughter is a chess champion. Before leaving for an international chess competition, she prayed with Brother Stephen during the Anbarin Paathathil meeting. Brother said, “You will surely win, for the victory comes from the Lord. The Lord will keep you as a crown.” He prayed, blessed, and sent us.
Just as Brother said, my daughter received a gold medal and a trophy. By the grace of God, through the prayers of Brother Stephen, and with the support and encouragement of Dr. Dhilipkumar and Dr. Ruth Dhilipkumar for the past 10 years, she has achieved this glory. We praise God for this miracle.
The same Lord will also make your children achievers in their fields.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. May those who are awaiting reconciliation find peace. Speak to those who are in enmity with them and move them to make a covenant of peace.
Lord, make peace with Your children, and let peace be established with those around them. At the same time, let three blessings happen: turn sorrow into joy, tears into rejoicing, and every evil plan into peace.
Wherever peace has been lost in their lives – due to loss, failure, sickness, or family struggles – do a miracle and establish Your peace, not the peace of the world, but Your divine peace.
Today, bless especially those who celebrate their birthdays and wedding anniversaries. May this Auspicious word be fulfilled in their lives throughout this year.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
