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 this morning, July 16th, through the Auspicious word. It is a great blessing for me each day to bring you God’s Word and to speak blessings over your homes and families.
Today, let us read the Auspicious word the Lord has given us. In 1 John 5:4, the Bible says, “This is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” Your victory lies in your faith—your hope and trust in God. It’s not just about how well you perform or how much you try, but about how strong your faith in God is. Some may say, “I did everything right, yet I failed.” Many of God’s children feel the pain of repeated failure, but God says today, *your faith is what gives you victory*.
Take a moment to reflect—how much hope do you have in God today? Even if your faith is as small as a mustard seed, Jesus says you can command a mountain to move, and it will obey. If such power is present in small faith, imagine what would happen with 100% faith! The Bible says, “If you believe, you will see the glory of God,” and “Everything is possible for the one who believes.” So many came to Jesus in faith, and He responded to them by saying, “According to your faith, let it be to you.” That means your faith will shape your result.
Look at Abraham—he believed for a child for 100 years. Though his body was as good as dead, and his wife Sarah’s womb had stopped functioning, he still believed. And God, who gave the promise, fulfilled it. The same God is speaking to you today: *He will give you victory.* Keep your faith firm in Him.
Remember, faith is the foundation for every miracle. But for a miracle to happen, two things are essential: *faith* and *purity*—our holiness. If we hold on to both, surely God will move in our lives. Many of you may have faced failure in government exams or missed out on jobs by a mark or two. You were so close but didn’t succeed. Today, the Lord says, “This is your turning point.”
Let me share a testimony. A family was trying to build a house but kept facing obstacles. One day, while watching Brother T. Stephen’s message on TV, he prophesied that someone would build their own house. They claimed that word in faith, began the work boldly, and by God’s grace, completed the construction. Today, they are living in that house. The same prophetic word is still alive. If you too are waiting for your own house, claim it in faith. God will fulfill it for you as well.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for the Word You’ve given us today: “This is the victory that overcomes the world—our faith.” We pray for Your children who have faced failure in life, business, studies, or ministry. Lord, replace every year of loss with a year of success. Remove the unbelief that causes failure, and let Your children receive their miracles through faith.
We also remember those celebrating their birthdays and engagements today. As promised in Isaiah 41:10, “Fear not, for I am with you… I will help you and uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Let this Word be fulfilled in their lives, and let the coming year be full of joy, favour, and success.
In Jesus’ mighty name we pray.
Amen
