My dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The auspicious word of God for today is taken from the book of Proverbs 2:7, “He is a shield to those who walk uprightly.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, What a marvelous statement the Lord has comforted you with, this morning. God says that He is a Shield to those who walk uprightly. Today if a person leaves his home and goes to his office or school, or to college or for ministry or to the market, or for shopping and until he returns home it is uncertain. People at home wait anxiously for their children to return home and likewise for the husband to return from his office or from the ministry safely. This is what we see in our day to day life. There is no guarantee that the person who goes out will return safely. And the Devil is eagerly waiting to devour someone every day. Especially he attacks through accidents, the people who go out of their home. He plans how he might kill the people. He hurts people through some way or other. And in spite of keeping security guards, or arranging vans for the safety of our children mishaps do happen. Despite all security there is danger everywhere. But today God is giving you the assurance of safety and security as he is the shield for us. If God gives wealth to a person, He adds no sorrow. In the same way If God becomes your shield, then there will be no harm, no accidents, or deaths. God will bring your children or your spouse safely home from school, office, or from the ministry. They can safely go out and return home.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, In the world science and technology has grown immensely. At the same time destruction is also increasing simultaneously. In these circumstances you should ask God to be a shield to your children and to your family members, whenever they go out. It is good that you are praying for this cause. You need to pray. At the same time, God expects a good experience form you. A good behavior, or culture or practice in your life. That is to walk uprightly. Because God says, “He is a shield to those who walk uprightly.”Today we need to take a good decision. I don’t know how you had been until yesterday. But from today onwards tell the Lord that you will work in your office with uprightness of heart. Tell the Lord that you will work and live uprightly. Tell the Lord that you will do the ministry uprightly. I will be faithful to my parents. I will study with uprightness of heart. I will be upright before God. I will be faithful to my master. If you keep this quality of being upright before God and man then God will be a shield to you. He will guard and protect you. I like the verse which says, “Just as the hen takes care of her chicks and protects them by covering them with her feathers, and shelters them from wild birds like vultures God will protect you and your family members under His feathers and save you from all harm and danger that could befall you.”
Prayer: Dear Lord we thank You. I pray and bless all the children who are reading this message in the name of Jesus. Lord for those who are earnestly reading this message may the Lord teach them to walk uprightly. Lord I pray that you will reign from within their hearts. You govern all their actions and behavior. We welcome you Lord that you will come and reign in their hearts. As your children begin a new month today the first of June, be with them throughout this month and be a shield and protector to all of them. Be with them wherever they go and protect them and cause all the effort of their hands to prosper. I bless all the children from the bottom of my heart in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. From the 1st of June till the end of this month, I pray that You will be with them and protect them in all walks of life. In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
