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 Zachariah 4:6 says, “Not by might, nor by Power, but by my Spirit says, the Lord.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above verse we understand that we cannot achieve anything by our own effort. Rather we need the grace and mercy of God to achieve anything in our life. The Bible says, God gives wisdom and knowledge, and joy to a man who is good in His sight. This indicates that we need to be good in God’s sight to be blessed. Moreover it is not by your might nor by your power that you can achieve anything but by the Spirit of the Lord, says the word of God. You should never say or think in your heart, that you are an achiever just because of your wisdom, your knowledge, your education, your talents, or your hard work. Please come out of these narrow selfish thoughts. God’s children should never drift away into such pride. You should always say, this is not because of my effort, but by the divine grace of God.
The Bible says, Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of Lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. The Bible says, “They never say in your heart, My power, and the might of my hand, have gained me this wealth. And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the power to gain wealth.” Often we see that the moment one secures a job, he forgets God. He stops coming to church. When questioned he says, he has
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Teach us to understand that every good gift is from God. Help us not
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
