Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Bible says in Deuteronomy 28:8, “The Lord will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.”
Where a man is born, where he must study, in which country he should grow, where he will work, and where he will eventually settle—everything has already been ordained by Heaven. If we stay within God’s plan, we will be aligned with His blessings. But when we step outside of His will, desiring things based on our own wishes or by copying others, we may feel like we’re swimming against the current. Yet, God in His time pushes us into the right places—whether it’s the right school, college, city, or even nation. From the moment we are conceived in our mother’s womb until the day we reach our eternal home, God’s plan is perfectly designed.
So why does man suffer? Many times, people ignore God’s plan and pursue paths influenced by others. But if you walk in the path God has designed for you, there will be peace and purpose. Yes, obstacles may come, but God Himself will help you overcome them.
For success, God’s will is crucial. Seek it. Choose it. Act on it. Then no one can uproot you from the place God has planted you. Even among those who try to tear you down, the Lord will establish you and build you up. Just like Jonah who ignored God’s instruction to go to Nineveh and ended up in the belly of a whale—when we act outside God’s will, we too may find ourselves trapped in the “mouth of a whale”—a place of debt, disease, destruction, or despair. But when Jonah cried out in his distress, God delivered him.
Even if you feel trapped today, remember—it’s not too late. In your struggle, cry out to the Lord, praise Him, and He will bring you back ashore.
Testimony:
Brother Swamidhas from Pondicherry shares:
“We attended the Anbarin Paathathil Oru Naal fasting prayer as a family. My son had just completed his 12th exams and was interested in studying abroad. During individual prayer, Brother Stephen prophesied that my son would receive a sponsor and pursue his higher studies overseas. I believed this word and made arrangements accordingly. Just as prophesied, my son received sponsorship and is now studying in a foreign college for free. It wasn’t just the opportunity to go abroad that mattered—it was the divine favor to study without financial burden. This was the result of attending the meeting and hearing God’s word.”
Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You. In Jesus’ name, I greet and bless Your children. Bless the land You have given them. Grant them inheritance and favor in the country You have destined for them. As it is written in Deuteronomy 5:33, “that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.” Let this Word be fulfilled in their lives. Break every barrier, Lord, and do a miracle. Whether in their own state, another city, another state, or abroad—wherever You have appointed for them—let them be established. Those who surrender to Your divine plan today, let them receive a breakthrough today itself. Let a new dawn arise in their life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
