December 20, 2024
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 on this blessed day, December 20th, as the festive season approaches, to share this auspicious daily message. May God richly bless you. Today’s auspicious word for us is from Matthew 1:23, “They shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
Before Jesus Christ was born, the prophecy declared by the prophets was: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel.” This prophetic word foretold that Jesus would be called Immanuel, meaning “God with us.” The essence of Christmas is God uniting with His people. The day our Holy Heavenly Father sent His only Son for humanity, who had sinned and lost the image of God, is what we celebrate as Christmas. God is with us, Jesus is with us, and Immanuel is with us.
When Jesus is with us:
Shame will not come, Poverty will not come, Troubles will not come, Debt will not come. Your life will be transformed. Today, Immanuel is coming to your homes, into your lives that may be suffering from troubles, shame, debt, or sickness. He is uniting with you to bring restoration and blessings.
The Bible says:
“David continued to succeed in everything he did, for the LORD was with him.” The secret of David’s success was that God was with him. Similarly, when God is with you, you will succeed day by day and progress in every area of your life. Immanuel will bring victory after victory into your life. Those longing for children, granting them the gift of a child. Your career, with unexpected opportunities and blessings. Your business, workplace, and ministry, with extraordinary breakthroughs. When Jesus unites with you, miracles will happen.
Testimony:
Brother Ravichandran from Coimbatore shares:
“In my home, a tenant stayed for 13 years. The house was in a dilapidated state, so I asked him to vacate, but he refused. Instead, he insisted on buying the house from me, causing me great sorrow. One day, I attended the Anbarin Paathathil Fasting Prayer and submitted my prayer request to Brother Stephen, who prayed earnestly for me. As soon as I stepped out after the prayer, I received a call from the tenant. To my surprise, the man who had adamantly refused to vacate my house suddenly said, ‘I will vacate your house.’ And he did so! This miracle happened because Immanuel was with me. When I sought God, He united with me, spoke to my adversary, and enabled me to reclaim my house. The same God will perform a miracle for you too.”
Prayer:
Dear Lord, we thank You. Immanuel means “God is with us.” For those who have lost Immanuel in their lives and are suffering, forgive them. Be enthroned once again in their hearts and reign over them with wisdom. According to the verse, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me,” we thank You that Christ now lives in them, helping them to thrive. Thank You for coming into our lives and driving out all darkness. We thank You for canceling all the weapons formed against us. We thank You for removing poverty and bringing prosperity to families. Because You have been born in our lives, we thank You for healing all sickness and performing miracles. In Jesus’ Name, we pray,
Amen.
