My Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May the name of the Lord be glorified. On this day July 19th, it is a great pleasure to meet you through this auspicious message. May the Lord bless you. Take with me from the book of Psalm 27:10, “When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the Lord will take care of me.’’
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, You must have heard children say, “ My Father and my mother do not care for me. They have forsaken me. Some parents will say, my own children have forsaken me. But for such children the Lord is assuring them through this auspicious word. He says, If your father and mother forsake you, I will take care of you. May you receive this assurance. There was a man called Jeptha. He was born of a mother who had a bad relationship. His mother gave birth to him in a wrong relationship and left him in the hands of his father. And she went away.
But his family abandoned this son who lived in his father’s house for a while. Later He was chased out by his father and the members of the family. He was earlier forsaken by his mother. He stood on the street Desperately as an orphan. At that time, the Lord took him, and turned him into a good warrior. He was trained to be a brave warrior. He was not a coward.
Usually such people would end up in depression. God called him to himself and encouraged him. But after that all those who drove him out of their house and despised him, came and called him back home. They fell at his feet and told him that he would be their leader. God lifted him up such that he was admired by all because of his bravery and boldness. Today you might be like a stone forgotten by all. You could have been a stone thrown away. But God will lift you up and admire you. He is searching for you. This is your turn day. He created you. You may not be wanted by others, but God wants you. In such a state God says, “I am there for you. ”Come in the presence of the Lord, and commit yourself. God will shield you, protect you and show favor to you. He will surely raise you up and admire you.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, we thank You. Lord for those children who have been forsaken by their parents and those parents who have been forsaken by their children, we submit all of them in your hands. Lord gather them in your loving breast. God gives each one of them a bright future, and helps them to live a peaceful life. You are a God who causes your children to live. They would have decided not to live. But you make them live, before those who neglected them. God who adopted Jeptha, and made him a great warrior and made his name with fame and praise. And God strengthened his hands in such a manner that his enemies shivered at his bravery. Lord, do such a miracle for your children also and make them live. Lord whatever things they rightly deserve I pray that you will grant unto them all the desires of their heart.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
