July 29, 2025
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May His name be glorified forevermore!
It is a joy and privilege to meet you through this auspicious Word on this blessed day, July 29. I trust you are in good health and spirit, and I believe the Lord has poured His abundant blessings upon you. Many of you continually uphold us in your prayers—we are deeply grateful for your love and faithfulness.
Today’s Scripture comes from Psalm 42:1 “As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God.” Just as the deer seeks only clear, flowing waters and not stagnant or muddy pools, so must our souls long for what is pure, life-giving, and spiritually nourishing. Do not let your heart thirst after fleeting pleasures or impure desires. Instead, let your inner being yearn for righteousness, holiness, and the living Word of God. The Lord gives us a precious promise in Isaiah 58:11 “The Lord will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones. You shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.”
When you thirst after God, He will not only satisfy your soul but will bless you abundantly—with health, peace, prosperity, and spiritual strength. He will make you flourish like a garden continually watered by His hand.
Let me share a testimony that speaks of God’s faithfulness.
Sister Karuna from Tirunelveli brought her son, Dhinakaraj Ravikumar, to Chennai. He had 24 arrear papers in his EEE course, and the situation seemed impossible. But through earnest prayer, faith, and participation in our prayer meetings, the Lord turned it around. By His grace, and through intercessory prayer, Dhinakaraj passed all his papers! Truly, nothing is too hard for our God.
Today, we also joyfully dedicate all the children celebrating birthdays and weddings. Over your year, we proclaim the promise of Zechariah 9:12 “Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.”
May this be a year of restoration, double blessing, and divine favor for you. May your soul always thirst for what is pure, holy, and eternal. The Lord who satisfies every longing heart will bless you beyond measure.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, We thank You for this day. Just as the deer longs for water, help our souls to thirst for You. Fill us with what is pure, holy, and eternal. Help us to seek Your righteousness above all else. Guide us, refresh us, and make us like a well-watered garden. Bless all those seeking You today. Let their souls be filled, and their lives overflow with Your goodness.
In Jesus name.
Amen
