Beloved Children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all today, December 12th, through this daily auspicious message. May God bless you. Today, what is the auspicious word that God has for us? Isaiah 61:7 “Instead of your shame, you shall have double honor.”
For many reasons, you might be in a state of shame before people, with your head held down. Perhaps you have faced business losses, betrayal, or lack of progress, which has caused shame. Maybe certain good events didn’t take place at the right time, leading people to think little of you. If, after marriage, you are still without a child, society may have caused you to feel ashamed. Or perhaps continuous failures, low marks, or challenges in specific subjects have surrounded you with reproach.
Whatever the reason—be it poverty or any other circumstance that has made you feel insignificant—God is speaking this word to bring change: “Instead of your shame, you shall have double honor.”
In the very place where your head is held low, God will lift you up and make your name great. He will bless you doubly. If you are in tears because nothing has happened, God will give you surplus blessings. If you are expecting one child, God can bless you with three. If you are hoping for a small salary hike, God will establish you in a way that exceeds your expectations. God knows your needs, and He will never put you to shame. As the Bible says, “My people will never be put to shame.” Instead of shame, God will clothe you in royal garments and cause you to live with honor, your head held high. Just as David’s head was once bowed in shame but later lifted by God, today, He will surely lift your head too.
Let us read a good testimony:
Bro. Chelladurai from Tenkasi “My name is Chelladurai, and my wife’s name is Murugeswari. We have been married for 18 years, yet we didn’t have children. In the 5th year of our marriage, my wife conceived, but it ended in a miscarriage during the 5th month. After that, she didn’t conceive again. We endured much shame and pain, living in tears.
Through a friend, we learned about the Anbarin Paathathil fasting prayer. We attended and were comforted by the prayers of Bro. Stephen. Later, when we heard Brother was coming to the Nagercoil Prayer Tower, we got an appointment, met him in person, and received prayer. Brother Stephen told us, ‘Beyond age and physical limitations, God will perform a miracle—a supernatural miracle.’ God heard his prayers, and as prophesied, my wife conceived. The doctors confirmed she was carrying twins. By the grace of God, we were blessed with twins! We thank God for this double blessing.”
Today’s Verse:
“Instead of your shame, you shall have double honor.” Look at this testimony: for 18 years, they lived in shame without children. Though she conceived once, it ended in loss. But after 18 years, God delivered them from their shame and blessed them with double honor—two children! God will do the same for you. Instead of your shame, you shall have double honor.
Prayer:
Beloved God, we thank You. In the name of Jesus, I bless my children. In whatever situation my children are standing with their heads held down in shame, reproach, or dishonor, perform a miracle today. If they are ashamed because of their children, poverty, childlessness, or separation in their families—whatever the cause of their shame—Lord, look into their situation and do a miracle. According to Your promise, grant them double blessings. Honor them in the very place of their shame.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
