My Dear Brothers and Sisters, 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 102: 16 , “The Lord Shall Build up Zion. He shall regard the prayer of the destitute. And shall not despise their prayers.”
My dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we learn that God wants to rebuild Zion. And when the Lord builds Zion, He shall appear in His glory. God was pleased with the building up of Zion, So He wanted to manifest His glory. The Lord appears thus glorious in His work because it is a work that pleases Him. Yes, He wanted to deliver His people from bondage, for once Zion was in ruins. In rebuilding Zion and restoring the splendour of the place where He had been worshipped so long pleased Him. So, He wanted to display His true character, as a God of Glory, truth, power and goodness.
It is commonly said that the rich join with the rich while the poor go along with the poor and destitute. In other words money joins hand with someone who is rich, wealthy, and pompous in character. After all we are mortal creatures, but God is an everlasting God, the protector, of His children. When we consider our darkness, our own vileness, we have a reason to fear that our prayers will not be received in heaven. But God who is rich in mercy is always, willing to hear the cry of the poor. We have an advocate who intercedes on our behalf and answers our requests.
The Bible says, for the needy shall not always be forgotten. The expectation of the poor shall not perish. Therefore God approves the prayers of the destitute. God never neglects your request and will perform a miracle today for you. God will build a house for you. God wants to build a house and establish you. Many of you are struggling in your life without own house. You are living in rented house and often you are shifting from place to place in search of a new house. God has promised to build a house for the deprived. For He wants to be the Father to the Fatherless. “Fatherless” does not mean one without a father, but those who are suffering. They are known as Fatherless. God will meet the needs of those suffering and fatherless people. God wants to be a Father to the Fatherless, He wants to be a defender of the widows. He will bring justice to them. For the Bible says, He sets the solitary in families and brings out those who are bound into prosperity.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, God who promised David, that he would build him a house would surely build a house for you if you wait on Him. As children of God approach Him as your Abba Father, and ask Him to provide a house for you. He will fulfil the desires of your heart. He will build a house for you as He built Zion. For you are sons and daughters in Christ, therefore you are no longer slaves but a son. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we are thankful to know that You are the Father to the Fatherless. Lord we praise you because You will meet all the needs of the Fatherless, and deliver us from all bondage and lead us to prosperity. May we learn to cry up to God as Abba Father, and plead our cause. We will remain grateful to You as you hear the prayer of the destitute and not despise our prayers.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
