August 26, 2026
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all this August 26th through this Auspicious Word. May God bless you.
Let us get into today’s Auspicious Word. The book of the Prophet Isaiah 51:3 says: “The Lord will comfort Zion.”
It does not merely say that the Lord will speak words of comfort over Zion; it says that the Lord will comfort Zion.
Today, because of some loss, you may have lost your comfort, peace, and calmness. You may be sitting with the feeling that you have lost something precious.
Perhaps you have lost someone you loved. Or you may have lost your dream job. You may have lost your dream home. You may have been forced to leave the country you dreamed of living in. Everything you believed you would surely achieve and all the dreams you had may now seem to have been lost. You may be in a situation where you feel that you have lost everything.
But our Lord came to this earth to seek and redeem that which was lost. Whatever you have lost, He is able to restore and redeem it.
Our Lord is the God who made the axe head float in the water. He spoke a word, and what was lost was recovered. That is our Lord.
Today, whatever you have lost—whether it has sunk deep, whether it has been lost through drinking, debt, or other circumstances—whether it is your house, comfort, wealth, gold, or anything else, today is the day when the Lord will cause it to come back into your hands. Therefore, today is the day the Lord will comfort you.
In the past, He may have simply said, “Comfort.” But today He is saying, “I will comfort you.” When the Lord comforts you, what will happen? The same verse says that the places in your life that have become ruined will once again flourish.
Your children’s lives that have become troubled will flourish again. Your ruined business will flourish again. Your ministry that has suffered setbacks will flourish again.
The Lord will comfort you, and He will make “her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord.”
Where you experienced loss, the Lord will bring joy. Where you experienced sorrow, He will bring gladness. Where you lost peace, He will restore peace and rejoicing. The Lord says that these things will be fulfilled in your life.
Testimony
“I participated in the APO Fasting Meeting and prayed for three things: that my daughter should get married, that my land should be sold for a good price, and that my debts should be cleared.
For these three prayer requests, I prayed and made a pledge that if my prayers were answered, I would purchase 10 litres of coconut oil and give it to the Prayer Oil Ministry.
During the individual prayer, I also prayed with Brother Stephen. The Lord heard my prayer. My daughter’s marriage was arranged, my land was sold for a good price, and the Lord opened a way for my debts to be cleared.
By the grace of God, my daughter’s marriage is going to take place with great joy and celebration. May the name of the Lord be glorified. With great happiness, I am fulfilling my pledge to the Lord and glorifying His name.”
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. In Jesus’ name, I bless my beloved children. You have said, “The Lord will comfort Zion.”
For all those children, bring an end to the days when they only heard words of comfort. Let this day become the day when You truly comfort them.
From this moment, may their waste places be comforted. May their wilderness become a fruitful field. May their ruined places be restored.
Lord, let the voice of joy and gladness be heard in their families. Restore what they have lost. Bring peace where there has been sorrow, restoration where there has been loss, and new beginnings where there have been failures.
May their families, businesses, careers, ministries, and children’s lives flourish once again.
Thank You, Lord, for doing great things in their lives. May this word be fulfilled in their lives from this very moment. Amen.
