Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all this September 28th through this Auspicious word. May the name of the Lord be glorified.
What is the Auspicious word for us today? The Gospel written by Luke 14:11 says, “For he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Children of God everyone wants to progress, grow, and be promoted in life. That is a good wish and desire. But some work hard day and night, and still they are unable to grow beyond a certain level. The reason is that, without their knowledge, there is some pride within them.
The Lord is saying that if a person has to grow and progress day by day, and if he has to be promoted, first he needs to have the characteristic of humility. Humility is not seen in your dress or speech; it is seen in your actions. It is in your heart and mind.
The Bible says that if you have to grow and multiply day by day, if you want to progress and reach a high status or position, then today, humble yourself as much as you can. Do not boast anywhere.
Today, some have pride because of their caste. Some have pride because of their beauty or complexion. Some have pride because they have a government job. Some have pride because of the talents and skills that the Lord has given them. The Lord opposes such pride, but He gives grace to the humble.
If you have pride, the Lord Himself will oppose you. You do not need anyone else. You do not need an enemy or a foe. The Lord Himself will oppose you. Therefore, today, throw away the pride that is hindering your growth. Day by day, if you want to grow and increase before the Lord, humble yourself.
Clothe yourself with the characteristic of humility. When everyone praises you, you should say, “It is all the grace of God. Without Him, nothing is possible. If the Lord was not with me, none of this would have happened. If the Lord is not there, I cannot be where I am.” As you humble yourself, the Lord will elevate you.
Do you know the secret behind why Jesus was born to Mary? In that town, how many women would have been there? But Mary was chosen because she had a humble heart. She said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” She humbled herself before the Lord.
Even though she was the mother of Jesus, she never boasted about it. She remained with the disciples and stayed within the group, quietly supporting God’s ministry. She remained behind the scenes without seeking recognition.
Therefore, today, wear that characteristic of humility. No one can stop the promotion that the Lord gives you. May you receive a good promotion, a good increment, and an improvement in your business. In your field, may you excel and achieve great things.
Testimony
“I suffered from low blood pressure, and my body became so weak that I was unable to stand. I was unable to do anything. When I was inactive, I kept remembering each Mangala Vaarthai that Brother Stephen shared in the APO meeting. Those Mangala Vaarthais revived me. The divine strength of the Lord strengthened me, and all my weaknesses changed. The Lord helped me to arise and walk well.” The Lord who performed that miracle will do the same for you too.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. Some are saying, “I am not able to stand. I am not even able to hold a small thing. I am not able to fold my hands.” For those children who are in sorrow today, through this Auspicious word, I bless them that a divine miracle will happen in their lives.
Today, as You have said, give each and every one the divine experience of humbling themselves under Your mighty hand. May the Lord remove all the pride seen in them and give my children the characteristic of humility.
Let them have the humility that was seen in Jesus Christ—the humility that led Him to obedience, even to death on the cross. According to this Auspicious word, let them humble themselves like Jesus. And when You give them a high position, let my children safeguard it with humility. May this word be fulfilled in the lives of my children. Amen.
