Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the matchless name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. On this November 16th, I am very, very happy to meet you all directly in your homes through this Auspicious word. May the Lord bless you.
Alright, what is the Auspicious word the Lord has for us today? Galatians 6:9 says, “If we do not grow weary, we shall reap in due season.”
After sowing seeds, there are times when we grow weary while waiting for the harvest. During this season of waiting, we may become deeply discouraged and exhausted. Yet, even in those moments, we must remain encouraged and stand firm in faith. This is the good counsel that the Apostle Paul gives to the Galatian church. Only when we do not grow weary will we reap a bountiful harvest at the appointed time.
Perhaps some of you are feeling disheartened today, thinking, “I still have not received my harvest,” and are becoming weary in spirit. Today, you must declare a Scripture promise as your confession of faith. The final verse of Psalm 126 declares that the one who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with shouts of joy, bringing sheaves with him. Standing on this promise, continually declare in faith, “Lord, help me to return home with a joyful harvest from now on. Help me to bring abundant sheaves into my household.” As you hold on to this promise, you will indeed reap a glorious harvest.
Growing weary and giving up are signs of unbelief. When we consider why many of God’s children are unable to reap a great harvest, we find that unbelief is often the root cause. Only when you believe can you behold the glory of God. It is through faith that you can reap a glorious harvest and receive abundant blessings. If you entertain thoughts of unbelief, those very thoughts will hinder the growth of your harvest, because unbelief stands in its way. Today, whoever is physically exhausted and saying, “I cannot go on,” or mentally worn out and feeling, “I cannot run this race any further,” the Lord is placing upon you the same anointing that He placed upon Elijah.
There was a time when Elijah became so discouraged that he sat under a broom tree and cried out, “Lord, I have had enough; take my life.” In the same way, many of you may be sitting down today, lamenting, “I cannot do this anymore. Take me, Lord. I cannot bear this trial any longer. I do not even want to live.” No! It is after this very moment that you are going to accomplish great things. The Lord sustained Elijah through ravens and later nourished him through an angel.
Beloved children of God, when the time came for the Lord to use Elijah again, he went on to anoint kings and complete his race victoriously. He did not accomplish these things during his moment of exhaustion; some of his greatest works in ministry came afterwards.
In the same way, the Lord is telling you today, “Do not lose heart. Be strong and courageous.” Scripture urges us to be courageous and carry out our responsibilities with boldness. When you give in to fear, neither your body nor your mind will cooperate with you. Therefore, press forward with courage and faith without growing weary, and the Lord will grant you a great harvest.
Sister Chandrakala from Villivakkam shares her testimony:
“Praise the Lord. My daughter’s name is Christina. She enrolled in a coaching class for the NEET examination, and we were paying the fees of ₹40,000 through an EMI plan. However, my daughter found the lessons too difficult and stopped attending the classes.
Because of this, we submitted a request to cancel the EMI payments. However, the institute continued sending us messages demanding payment. Deeply distressed and in tears, we attended a one-day fasting prayer gathering at Anbarin Paathathil, seeking deliverance from this problem.
During the prayer meeting, Brother Stephen prophesied and prayed, saying, ‘All your EMI debts will be completely removed and washed away.’
After that prayer, by the grace of the Lord and just as Brother Stephen had declared in his prophetic prayer, the coaching institute cancelled the EMI payments and sent us a No Due Certificate through WhatsApp, confirming that there was no outstanding balance. The Lord will perform such miracles for you as well.”
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. We bless Your children who have grown weary, those who are discouraged in spirit and those who are physically exhausted. May they receive strength and courage today to carry out all their endeavours.
Through this strength, may they reap a bountiful harvest in everything they undertake and in all the work they do. May Your children never need to borrow, but become people who lend to others. Open doors of opportunity before them and encourage and uplift them.
Bless Your children with abundant income, strengthen them, help them repay all their debts, and grant them an overflow of blessings with plenty to spare. Let every form of weariness and exhaustion disappear from their lives at this very moment. May divine strength fill them, and may You grant them the strength of a wild ox.
May Christ, who strengthens them from within, empower their minds and bodies so that they may rise up and accomplish all things.
Even now, with a full heart, I greet and bless Your children who are celebrating their birthdays and wedding anniversaries today. May this auspicious promise, “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go,” be fulfilled in their lives from this very moment.
Through Jesus, Heavenly Father, we pray.
Amen.
