From Grief to Glory - Bro. T. Stephen

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 today, August 11th, through this Auspicious word. May God bless you abundantly.

What is the Auspicious word for us today? As Isaiah 58:8 declares, “Your healing shall spring forth speedily.”

At times, families face deep sorrow due to loss. While friends and servants of God may offer words of comfort, it is the Lord who truly heals. Isaiah 51:3 assures us, “For the LORD will comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; He will make her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the garden of the LORD.” In the midst of desolation, God promises to restore joy and gladness.

Today, the Lord speaks to you: “Your healing shall spring forth speedily.” If you feel that nothing is progressing in your life, if you are broken and weary, take heart. The Lord is at work. He will open doors for employment, bring about marriages, restore health, reunite families, and provide homes. Miracles are on the way.

Consider the testimony of Dr. D. Abisha Sujin, who began her Ph.D. studies in 2020. She sought prayer from Brother Stephen, claiming the promise of Isaiah 58:8. By God’s grace, her paper was published, her thesis submitted, and her viva completed, leading her to a doctorate. May the Lord grant similar honors to you.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father , we thank You. I bless all those reading this message. For those who feel that your healing has not yet come,
May your healing spring forth speedily. May the Lord open doors for your job, bring about marriages, bless you with children, provide homes, and settle your lives in peace. May you testify of His goodness.

Let this year be one where Isaiah 61:3 is fulfilled in their lives: “To console those who mourn in Zion— to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair.” May you be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
