April 26, 2026
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 April 26th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
Let us read Daniel 12:3: “Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.”
You have seen how stars shine high in the sky. In the same way, in this world, people are called “stars” in different fields. But the Lord is asking today: Do you want to shine like a star—forever?
Some shine only for a short time and then fade away. But this verse speaks about shining forever and ever, like the stars in the heavens that shine constantly.
The key is wisdom. The Bible says, “Those who are wise will shine.” And who receives this wisdom? Those who fear the Lord. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
If you begin to live in the fear of God, He will surely make you shine like a star. Daniel, though ordinary at first, became great in the king’s court because he lived in the fear of the Lord.
Even today, live with a sincere conscience and reverence for God. Then the Lord will give you wisdom, and through that wisdom, you will rise and shine in your field—whatever it may be.
Until yesterday you may have felt, “I cannot shine. I cannot succeed.” But today, ask the Lord: “Give me Your wisdom.” He is all-knowing and will surely bless you.
Some lose their honour because they lack wisdom. But when you walk, speak, and act with wisdom, the Lord will make you rise and shine.
Testimony:
A person suffered from severe nerve pain for many years. Despite many treatments, there was no healing. In that situation, during the Mangala Vaarthai program, Brother Stephen prayed for those in pain and asked them to apply prayer oil and pray.
With faith, this person applied the oil and prayed with tears. After that prayer, the pain disappeared completely, and they were healed. The Lord will do the same for you.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. You said that the wise will shine like the stars forever. Make them wise, Lord. As Your servant, I pray that You grant wisdom generously, honour them, and lift them up.
Lord, those who feel they are not progressing, who feel left behind while others move ahead—see their tears. Bring them forward and make their names great.
Even today, look upon those who are celebrating their birthdays and wedding anniversaries. Anoint them with fresh oil and perform miracles in their lives.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
