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 Psalm 37:25, “I have been young and now am old, yet have not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread.”
From the above context we understand that this is David’s observation about the righteous. So he says, “’I never saw a truly pious, just and charitable man, left destitute, of necessary things; or his children after him. “God is ever merciful and lends. In fact he has the ability as well as the inclination, to give, to lend to others if need requires, his seed is blessed –not only with spiritual but with worldly blessing.
However godliness hath so far the promise of the life that they who seek first and principally the kingdom of God shall have the necessaries of life provided for them in some way or other. Therefore to fear and serve God is the readiest way to secure ourselves and families from want. Many of you, who are reading this message, are going through miserable period of time. Some of you are worried about the future of your children. Some of you have grown old and wonder as to what would become of your children? You seem to worry over your child, who has not settled as yet. Your son has not even secured a good job. You have educated him with much difficulty, but he has been a failure. He has not fared well in his interview. You started a small business for him but he is incapable of running the business. You are worried over your daughter who is growing old. You are unable to secure a good proposal for her.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, until yesterday things have gone wrong but God assures you of a bright future. So cast all your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you. He cares for you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved. Trust in the promises of God. He will never forget you nor forsake you. For those of you who are in tears because of your children, will one day behold, your children doing well in their studies, in their career, in their marriage life and whatsoever. God will not only bless your children, by placing them in good position, in life, but also extend your life to see them do well.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, King David, had to go through a trying period in his life. Many times he was under death trap. But he says, “’ Lord You who have shown me great and severe troubles, shall revive me again and bring me up again from the depths of the earth.”He further says, “Though the Lord disciplined me severely, he has not given me over to death.” This is the confidence he had in God. So God saved him from the cruel hands of the enemies and saved his life. He also extended the days of his life, that his eyes might see his son seated on the throne. Similarly God will perform a miracle for you if you have confidence in God. For the Lord will be your confidence. And will keep your feet from being caught. God will allow you to see the well being of your children.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, May be till yesterday your children would have attended several interviews but they would been a failure. They would not have performed well in their studies. Or they have incurred a great loss in their business. Some of you have not been able to do your ministry successfully. God is aware of all your struggles. He will wipe away your tears. You will soon rejoice over the victory and success of your children. From this time forth you will experience a change in the course of your life and that of your children. Just as God allowed King David to witness his son Solomon sit on the throne God will help you witness your children do well in their life. They will shine like the stars forever. God bless you and your children.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for directing our steps and for providing all our needs. Lord you said that our children will be taught by the Lord and great will be the peace of our children. Accordingly we pray that you will bless our children and help us to see them well placed in life, so that they may not lack any good thing.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
