Dearly Beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious life giving word of the Lord, for today is from the book of Philippines 4:13, ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’.
This is a word of assurance. Make a confession of faith, that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. In this verse we see Apostle Paul gives importance to Christ who strengthens him. To say plainly, ‘If the Lord is with you, then you will be able to do everything’. The Lord is the one who strengthens us. He encourages us like no one else. We desire to do everything and make everything a success. For this, we make every worldly effort to succeed. We make a lot of physical efforts by our intelligence. But if you see, whether all these are successful, it is not. But today, the Lord is telling you that He will give an idea to help you make it successful. He says, ‘Keep me with you. I am Christ who strengthens you. ‘If you keep me with you, I will give you the strength to do everything’.
You may say that you are unable to do anything or to complete something and others are disregarding you because of this. But from today, you are going to accomplish great things. The Lord who makes you accomplish is giving you strength and encouragement. This is a great word of faith. . All who want to become achievers should keep Christ near and along with them. Only then, He can lift you up. There is another verse which says that only God can lift and strengthen anyone. Keep the Lord as your background and backbone. He has told that He is the shadow that protects you. Therefore today, the Lord will give you the strength and power to do all things. For the Bible says, “The Lord will be a shelter for His people, and the strength of the children of Israel.”
Prayer: Loving Lord, we thank you. Just like apostle Paul we too make the confession of faith that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Give your children the strength to do all things through Christ. Let Christ who strengthens dwell in them permanently. Perform great things for them. Make them achievers. Open ways for them to exalt You, through their performance.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen!
