My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Romans 5:8 “ But God commends His love towards us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God gave His only Begotten Son to die for us as the payment for our sins and this proves His love for us. – Christ died for sinners. He did not wait until sinners believed in Him to die for them. Christ died for us while we were still sinners. He died for us before we were saved, while we were still dead in trespasses and sins, while we were still enemies of God. God most certainly proves His own love for us for even while we were sinners, Christ died for us! God hates every kind of evil, but we have all sinned and gone short of the glory of God., guilty before Him and condemned. We were destined for everlasting destruction and without any hope in the world. And it was while we were in this sad and sorry state that God demonstrated how deeply He loved us.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God proved His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God planned so much more for us through the death of Christ for we were justified and made righteous, sanctified and glorified. We were adopted as sons of God and predestined to become exactly like the Lord Jesus. God says, “Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee. He draws us close to Him by His love.” , The Bible says, “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him. ”God always wants to display His matchless love to each and every one of you especially to those of you who are reading this message. I wish to share the testimony of a sister Thilagavathi, a Hindu, who had been married and later divorced for various reason.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, this sister, attended our Anbarin Padathil Oru Naal Fasting Prayer Meeting and prayed earnestly. Because her case was under way and court hearing was about to happen soon. She was in great distress as to how the court verdict would turn out to be. And what would be the state of her life. But the Lord called her by name, Thilagavathy during the name calling session and assured that she would join her husband very soon. She couldn’t believe her ears. She happened to attend that meeting by her friend who took pity on her and brought her there. Adjacent week the court hearing came and sister Thilagavathy had been to the court. To her surprise her husband who came over there told her that he will withdraw the case and take her home. Sister Thilagavathy couldn’t believe her eyes, her joy knew no bounds. She is now living a very happy married life. God rebuilt her ruined life. It’s amazing to know how God works in the Life of His children. To those who have not settled in life as yet, God will settle you soon. The Lord will open the door of marriage for you. You will live a happy married life.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God loved David, who was once a shepherd boy and raised him as the king of Israel. He exhibited his friendly love to David by blessing him with a wise son Solomon. In the same manner God will bless you with children. Many of you are crying for a child, God will soon bless you and make you like a joyful mother of children. The Love of God has been poured upon you for you are very precious in His sight. God will also reunite broken homes and also enable those of you who are waiting to be settled, and are earnestly looking out for life partners, God will help you to settle soon and live happy married life. God is mindful of you and always wants to bless you. Just as God helped sister Thiagavathi, to rejoin her husband He will perform new miracles in your life. Therefore all you got to do is to surrender your life to Him. Believe in the Lord and you shall be saved. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Father we thank you for your everlasting Love and for rebuilding our ruined lives. We pray that you will bless our children with wisdom, prudence and good understanding. Thank You for sending Your son Jesus Christ, to die for us on the cross, even while we were sinners. Help us to be seek God diligently all the days of our life.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
