My beloved children in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all on this day August 5th through this daily Auspicious Word program. May God Bless you!
Let us read Psalms 71:21, “You shall increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.”
The psalmist says, Lord , you increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. Greatness is to hold a good position. A high position. From that great position Lord you have increased me and you comfort me, says the psalmist. You might be thinking such greatness hasn’t come in my life, and how can I ever be comforted or receive an increase in my greatness. But while you are thing in this manner, as per this verse the Psalmist says, the Lord has increased his greatness, He is a God who increases your greatness and comforts you on every side. My dear children of God David was a young man, who from the bottom level was tending his father’s sheep, God made him the king. This is what God did for David who was a humble shepherd boy, that is why David the psalmist says, He increased my greatness and comforted me. Our God shows no partiality. Today you may be suffering or going through hardship. But God will increase your greatness. Are you thinking, then why is God allowing you to suffer such hardship.
You will be experiencing hardship and facing temptation, then you will find an increase. And you will become great. Only then you will think of the lower section of the people. So it is a good lesson to be learnt in life. You will be thinking , that day we suffered hardship, now they are suffering like that. So in order that you might think about the lowly and consider the poor and needy, God has kept you at a lower level. We see the word of God which says, He raises the poor out of the dust, And lifts the needy out of the ash heap. That He may seat him with princes. With the princes of His people. Today these words will be applicable in the life of your children also. God will keep them in greatness. The Psalmist says, God will increase those who are great. So we see how David grew greater and greater day by day. This means that he increased in greatness day after day. Because the God of army was with him. So when you go out to your work spot, or to the interview, to your business center or to your place of ministry or to any place, take God along with you. Since the God of army was with him wherever he went he prospered. And since God was at his right hand, he grew greater and greater and became the king of glory. So those of you who are at the bottom level, in poverty, in famine, suffering for want of food, Not able to pay fees for your children, and having no extra dress to put on, especially uniform, and for such kind of children God is going to give you a higher position in life. Not only that God will keep you exalted and once again, God will comfort you. This means that in whatever situation you have suffered much may be due to debts, or from those who tormented and suffocated you to such an extent that you have been completely worn out. This experience could have wounded you much. God will change all such situations and will comfort you.
Prayer: Dear Lord, we thank you. Lord, I pray and bless all the children who are reading this message. Lord you who keep us in a higher position, and you who will keep us in a higher position, and also increase our greatness, Lord grant all the children an increase in their life. Make them greater and greater day by day. Increase them, Those who are very poor and poverty stricken, heal the wound in their heart and bind the scars found in their heart. Rebuild the ruined business centers, and for those whose jobs have been plucked off, reinstate them once again in their jobs, make it permanent and may they not stretch out their hands to anybody. And may they have the grace to lift up their hands only to the Lord. In whatever situation they have lost their comfort and peace, Grant them good comfort and bless them Lord.
In Jesus Name we Pray.
Amen.
