My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Isaiah 44: 4 “They will spring up among the grass like willows by the water courses.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we understand that those who love the Lord shall spring up as willows among the grass. The willow grasses are long lushly green that are often found by the side of fresh water. The Bible says, On whom the spirit of the Lord is poured, they are compared to a green that springs up after rain. When showers water the earth. there will be an abundance of grain in the earth. On the top of the mountains, its fruit shall wave like Lebanon and those of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. The above passage describes the fertile nature or productive quality of the grass.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, have you noticed the plants that grow by the waters. They get nourished by the nutrients and they grow with full strength. They never go dry. In the same manner the Lord, through the Holy Spirit will enrich every child of God if they shall keep His statutes and His commandments that it may go well with them and their children. Dear children of God you will be blessed and will flourish in all that you do. The Lord will clothe you with the garment of righteousness, and you will excel in life. You will be prosperous like the green willows that grow by the side of the waters. In order to have a prosperous life, you need to have a close relationship with God. Then you shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in its season. Their leaves shall not wither and whatever he does shall prosper.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God expects us to keep His commandments. By this, we know that we know Him if we keep His commandments. Whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this, we know that we are in Him. Are you in the Lord my dear Brother, Do you keep His word? If not please have a close fellowship with God. Then He will perform a miracle in your life. He will set you on high, He will put a new song in your mouth. The Lord will heal all your diseases. And restore all that you have lost in your life. He will fulfill all the desires of your heart. God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Help us to have a closer walk with God. Teach us to keep His word and obey His commandments. Make us grow spiritually, like the grass and trees that are planted by the riverside, so that we may be fruitful to God and a blessing to others. In Jesus name, we pray.
Amen.
