Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of Jeremiah 29:11 which says, For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and hope. Many of us are worried about our future. We do not have a hope to live. But remember God promises us that He will give us a future and a hope. God will honor us in our family. God will make us to inherit name and fame within our family. God is concerned about our welfare, our future and prosperity.
The Bible in the following verses says in 3 John 2 , “Beloved I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers”. Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well”. Psalm 34:10 says, “The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing”.
God does not desire us to suffer in pain and agony instead He wants us to be blessed in every way. In order to make us rich He became poor. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says, “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor”.
To inherit God’s blessing we have to come out of things that displeases God. Job 1:1 says, Job was perfect and upright, He was blameless and one that feared God and shunned evil. Job had to face difficult situations in his life yet when He stood firm to live a righteous life, God blessed him with double portion of blessing.
When we lead a righteous life, He will strengthen us and will help us. With His righteous right hand He will hold us and will lead us.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we praise and thank You for Your goodness towards us. Help us to seek You and Your kingdom that we might inherit the portion of Your blessing. Help us to be acceptable in Your sight and well pleasing as true children of God. In Jesus name we ask and pray.
Amen.
