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 today, January 28th, through this Auspicious Word message. May God bless you abundantly!
The Auspicious Word the Lord has for us today is from Judges 6:14: “Go in this might of yours. Have I not sent you?”
Today, many people are in a state of hesitation, saying, “I will only swim in the sea once the storm subsides,” or “I will fish only when the waves completely calm down.” If you remain in such a state, you may never take action. The Lord has already said, “In this world, there will be tribulation, but take heart, for I have overcome the world.” This means you should act with the strength you have. Step out boldly in faith!
In the Bible, Jonathan faced a great enemy with just one companion by his side. He did not fear or hesitate. Instead, he said, “Let us take one step forward; surely the Lord will do something for us.” This is what faith looks like—taking a step forward, believing that God will act on your behalf. That faith brought them victory. Though they were outnumbered, Jonathan and his companion overcame their enemies because the Lord was with them. Similarly, God looked at Gideon and said, “Go with the strength you have. Am I not the one sending you?” Gideon believed and obeyed. With God’s help, he defeated the Midianites and redeemed Israel.
Today, God is telling you to take action with whatever strength, resources, or abilities you have. Do not think, “Only if I have enough strength or resources, will I act.” Take the first step with what you have, and the Lord will bless your efforts. Jacob, for example, left his home with nothing but a staff in his hand and the blessings of his parents. When he returned, he was blessed with great wealth, a large family, and abundant possessions. I, too, started my journey with nothing. But the Lord has blessed me immensely because I trusted in Him.
Dear children of God, believe in the Lord and take that first step. With the little you have, begin the work God has placed in your heart. As you step forward in faith, the Lord will bless your efforts and make you prosper. He will expand your life and multiply your blessings. You will see great victories this year. Trust in Him, and this will be a year of triumph and success!
Testimony
Sister Prema Rajagopal from Chennai
We lived in a rented house for over 40 years. Though we worked hard, we could never buy a house of our own. However, I contacted God’s Love Ministries and prayed earnestly for an own house. I also participated in the Anbarin Paathathil fasting meeting, where I requested Brother Stephen to pray for this need. Brother Stephen prayed and prophesied that I would receive an own house and blessed me. I held on to those prophetic words with faith. By God’s grace, we were able to purchase our own house! All glory to God!
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. Even now, You are looking at Your children and saying, “Go in this might of yours; have I not sent you?” Lord, with the strength they have, help Your children step out and do the work You have ordained for them. Equip them, guide them, and go with them. Grant them victory in all their efforts. Just as You gave Gideon great victory, Lord, grant my children success in all areas where they have struggled or faced failure. Thank You, Lord, for seeing their tears and hearing their prayers. Right now, we thank You for touching and healing Emily. Let Your name be glorified continuously in their lives. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
