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 all through this Auspicious word on this August 4th. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word the Lord has for us today? Let us read Isaiah 49:16: “See, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands.”
What does this mean? Something that is merely drawn can easily be erased, but what is engraved can never be erased. The Lord says, “I have engraved you on the palms of My hands.” This means He has kept you safe and secure in His mighty hands. Just think about it. The Almighty God—the One who has authority over heaven and earth, the One to whom belong all the silver and gold, the Creator and Ruler of the entire universe—has engraved you on the palms of His hands.
What greater assurance do we need than this? If you are in the hands of the Lord, then remember His Word: “Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.” Continue to fulfil your responsibilities faithfully. If it is time to study, study diligently. If it is time to work, do your work faithfully. If it is time to serve the Lord, do His ministry wholeheartedly. As you remain faithful, the Lord Himself will exalt you at the appointed time. Until then, remain humble under His mighty hand, remembering that you are engraved on His palms.
Do not fall into the trap of thinking, “I must become great by my own strength. I must become rich through my own efforts.” Such thinking often leads people into unnecessary struggles and disappointment. If you have already fallen into such a pit, call upon Jesus and ask Him for help. He will stretch out His hand, lift you up, and establish you once again. In the days ahead, surrender yourself completely to His leading. I often say this: if we try to carry and pull all our burdens by ourselves, life becomes exhausting. We move forward only with strain, stress, and weariness. But when we surrender everything to the Lord and pray, “Here I am, Lord. I am Your servant. Let it be according to Your Word,” He begins to push us forward by His grace. Engrave this truth in your heart. I often share this because I have experienced it personally. I never try to carry my burdens alone. Before any project begins, I place it in God’s hands and pray, “Lord, I surrender this to You. Father, take charge.” Then, from behind the scenes, the Lord begins to move everything forward. I have seen Him lead me beautifully. It becomes effortless because He is the One directing every step.
Every opposition that comes against us, He handles perfectly and leads us through it smoothly. Therefore, develop this habit from today onward. The Lord will do great things in your life. Since He has engraved you on the palms of His hands, He will accomplish every good thing He has planned for you at the right time. Every project that has remained unfinished, every blessing that has been delayed, and every door that seems closed—the Lord will fulfil them according to His perfect timing. Many people have been writing to us and asking whether we have completed the registration of the Coimbatore Prayer Tower property because I have not mentioned it recently in the MV. I would like to update you. Around 65–70% of the payment has already been completed, and only about 30% remains. We are prayerfully expecting to complete the registration by next month. Kindly continue to remember this matter in your prayers. As I always say, I never try to carry these burdens myself. I surrender them to the Lord, and He moves everything forward. This opportunity itself was unexpected. Our God’s Love Ministries Coimbatore Prayer Tower is presently functioning in a rented building, as many of you know. Initially, we were permitted to conduct large meetings there, but later we were no longer allowed to do so. I do not wish to complain about anyone. Instead, we began conducting meetings at Windsor Garden, but even there we desired not to inconvenience anyone. Then the Lord Himself opened this new opportunity. We had never planned to purchase land. That is why I say that it is the Lord Himself who is pushing us forward. He showed us this property unexpectedly. It was truly marvellous. These matters are progressing, and I know your prayers are powerful. May God bless you. Please continue to pray that by next month everything will be completed and the property registration will be successfully finished.
Testimony
“Praise be to God! On 29-05-2026, I became anxious after seeing a vision that my family had met with a road accident. I tried to ignore it, but the fear and the vision kept troubling me. That night, during my prayer time, I read Psalm 91 and prayed. The next day, in the Mangala Vaarthai program on 30-05-2026, Brother Stephen shared the verse and prayed. It felt as though that prayer was offered specifically for our family. We experienced the Lord’s protection, and all fear and visions of an accident completely left my mind.” The Lord will do the same for you.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. In the name of Jesus, I bless every child. Thank You for engraving each one of us on the palms of Your hands. We offer You millions of thanks and praise. Thank You for making every area of our lives beautiful according to Your perfect plan.
According to this Auspicious word, may signs, wonders, and miracles follow Your children throughout this year. May this word be fulfilled from this very moment. Amen.
