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. Let’s read together from the book of Psalms 29:11, “The Lord will give strength to His people.”
My dear brothers and sisters, there is a difference between reward and strength. In English, it is often referred to as a reward, but in Tamil, it signifies strength. Today, the Lord will give strength to His people. Some of you who are lamenting over your poor health this morning may be saying, “I feel very weak. I have no strength in my hands. I am unable to lift up my hands. My legs fail to function, my hands fail to function, and there is severe pain in my hip. My neck is weak, and I can’t even turn my neck.”
As you are murmuring over all these issues, if there is a child or baby whose head is not standing erect, whose neck is weak and shaking from side to side, declare, “The Lord will give my child strength.” When you speak in faith, as per this verse, “For He spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood fast,” your child’s neck will be steady.
Perhaps you have suffered from a stroke, and your legs and hands are weak. You may not be able to lift your hand on your own, but with the help of one hand, you lift the other. Say, “Lord, You said You will give strength to Your children. I thank You, Lord, for giving me strength.” God will give you and your child strength. If you thank the Lord, He will surely give you the strength you need.
Even if you are unable to stand erect, and your legs are not functioning, or if one or both legs are not working properly, have faith and tell the Lord, “You give me strength. Thank You, Lord.” Then stand, and you will see that you can walk, jump, and even skip on your way to the temple of God. God will give you strength. He will grant you the grace you need. The Bible says, “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” The God who increases the power of the weak will surely give you strength.
Some of you may be thinking, “There is no strength in my hips, no strength in my knees.” But in all your weakness, God’s strength will be revealed in your body. He will revive you with His strength. You will feel the power of His resurrection. When His power descends upon you, what will happen? The hands and legs that do not function will begin to function. The tongue will begin to speak. Your brain, which may not be functioning, will start working again. There may be someone in your family in a coma. Say in faith, “My Lord will give strength to my son. He will give strength to my father.” God’s power will descend upon their brain. Surely, a miracle will happen.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, we thank You. Let Your strength be perfected in their weakness. Let Your strength be strongly revealed in their bodies. Lord, let Your strength be manifested in every part of their body—in their back, neck, knees, and every other part. Let the power of Your resurrection spread all over their body. As You said, “I am willing; be healed, my son. Be healed, my daughter,” touch them with Your hands, give them healing, give them health, and cause them to rise and shine.
In Jesus’ Name, we pray.
Amen.
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. Let us take a moment to reflect on Job 29:4, which says, “Just as I was in the days of my prime, when the friendly counsel of God was over my tent.”
Dear brothers and sisters, in the dwelling place of Job’s tent, God’s secret counsel was always present. At that time, God protected him from all harm and danger. Job recalls the glorious days of his life and expresses his thoughts. He reflects on how God’s secret counsel was with him, and during that time, the powerful Almighty God was with him and his children. He experienced abundance, saying he washed his feet in ghee and enjoyed oil flowing like a river from the rock. Job remembers these peak moments and wishes for their return. What he conveys is that during his glorious period, the Lord’s counsel was in his tent, guiding and protecting him.
Why should the secret counsel of the Lord be in our homes? It is essential to guard against the intrusion of evil and the deceitful schemes of the enemy that aim to destroy us and our families. Additionally, it protects us from the harmful intentions of neighbors, bad friends, or relatives who may wish to harm us through divination or black magic. If such schemes are devised against us, they will be nullified by the presence of God’s secret counsel.
No evil shall befall you; there will be no loss or disease in your household. Job’s experiences during his glorious times were a result of God’s secret counsel being present in his life. God assures us that He will also place His secret counsel in our homes. He watches over us, silently guarding against witchcraft, sorcery, and any other evil intentions aimed at us. He will bless the work of our hands, and like the oil flowing from the rock, we shall live abundantly and prosperously. That is why we seek the secret counsel of God in our homes. Together, let us ask the Lord to bless each of our households with His guidance and protection.
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, we thank You. The secret of Job’s glorious life was Your counsel in his house. As You observed Job’s actions, we pray that every child watching this program be blessed with prosperity and good fortune. Keep them safe from destruction and the noise of death. Rescue them from the effects of sorcery and witchcraft. Almighty God, may Your secret counsel dwell in our homes. Protect our children from their enemies, who may come against them in one way and flee in seven. Make them rich and prosperous.
In Jesus’ name, we pray.
Amen.
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. Let us take a moment to read from the book of Isaiah 45:14: “Thus saith the Lord, The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine.”
Dear brothers and sisters, for those of you engaged in business, ministry, or working in good jobs, what God has appointed for you will come to you, breaking through all barriers. No matter how fierce the competition, what is destined for you will surely reach you and become yours. Whether it is the revenue of Egypt, the profit from the trade of Ethiopia, or the gains from the Sabeans, it will cross all obstacles and become yours.
This morning, the Lord assures you through His word. The profit of your trade signifies that any losses you have incurred in the past will turn into gains. If your income has been insufficient before, God is promising that you will experience better income in the days to come. If you have felt that you have lost the anointing given by God, today the Lord is filling you afresh with a new anointing.
While Egypt, Ethiopia, and the Sabeans represent different nations, they also symbolize different types of people. In the future, diverse people will join your assembly and worship the Lord together as one, united race—the people of God. God will bring more people into your assembly and bless your ministry. He will protect you from tight situations and, in the same way, bless your business by removing financial barriers. We pray that the Lord grants you the grace to live a debt-free life.
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, we thank You. You have promised that You will give us the profit of our labor. We trust that the profit due to us will overcome all barriers and become ours. For these dear children, we pray that You will break down every obstacle to their income and allow them to receive the profit of their hard work. Let them enjoy the fruits of their labor and receive their full salary with courage and confidence. Guide them to avoid unnecessary expenditures.
In Jesus’ Name, we pray.
Amen.
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. Let us turn to Psalm 91:4: “He shall cover you with His feathers.”
The Lord promises to cover us with His feathers. There is also a verse that expresses God’s longing: “How often I have wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!” God desires to gather us under His protection, but often we are not willing to yield to Him. His desire is to shelter us under His wings. When the scripture says, “He shall cover you with His feathers,” it speaks of God’s protection, whether from strangers, enemies, or even those within our own families who may try to harm us. Just as a mother hen instinctively shields her chicks from danger, so does God shield us.
Consider how a mother hen responds when a predator, like a vulture or kite, approaches. The hen will give a warning call, and the chicks, recognizing the danger, rush to gather under her protective wings. Once under her feathers, the chicks are hidden and safe from the predator’s view. Similarly, when we come under the protection of God, we find divine safety and security. When the chicks are nestled under the hen’s feathers, they also experience warmth and comfort transmitted from her body. Likewise, when we seek refuge under God’s wings, we receive His anointing and power. His warmth and protection envelop us, filling us with His presence and strength.
Therefore, each morning, submit your family and loved ones to God’s care under His mighty wings. Ask the Lord to protect and guide them. When you entrust yourself and your family to God, He will work wonders in your life. There’s a song that resonates with this theme:
“Lord, embrace me in Your loving wings. Lord, in the shadow of Your wings, gather me. Oh Lord.”
Dear children of God, ensure that your family remains under the protection of the Lord’s wings. When you commit to staying in His shadow, His grace will be with you wherever you go. You will be blessed in your coming and going. If you place your family, business, and ministry under His feathers, He will oversee every aspect of your life, safeguarding and establishing you. He will fulfill the desires of your heart, protecting you from all harm.
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, we thank You for Your promise to cover us with Your feathers. We pray that You will cover and protect Your children, their businesses, their children, their ministries, and their jobs. Hide them under Your wings and provide for them. For those who come and stand under Your feathers, grant them perfect rewards, perfect jobs, perfect income, and perfect anointing. Grant them long life and abundant blessings.
In Jesus’ Name, we pray.
Amen.
My dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let’s reflect on Psalm 46:9, “He makes wars cease to the end of the earth.”
My dear brothers and sisters, our God is the one who makes wars cease. He causes all wars to stop or come to an end. As we think about wars, the scene that comes to mind is the ongoing conflict between Israel and Lebanon, Israel and Palestine, and many other nations. Wars like the one between Russia and Ukraine are taking place, and many countries are enduring what we call “cold wars.” These cold wars can start small but may escalate into full-blown major wars. If we can bring cold wars to a halt, they won’t turn into larger conflicts.
The Bible tells us, “He makes wars cease to the end of the earth.” So, we must pray for the end of all wars, even those happening far away, in places like Israel and Russia. You may wonder, “Why should this matter to us?” But God’s children are spread across the world, and we must pray that peace will prevail among all nations. We also need to pray against wars within families. It’s easier to prevent a conflict than to stop it once it has begun. So how do we avoid conflict in our homes? By adopting a spirit of forgiveness and a give-and-take attitude. We must have broad-mindedness and be willing to let go of our pride. When we forgive and embrace love, conflicts can be avoided.
Why do conflicts arise between husbands and wives? Often it’s due to ego and small arguments that grow into larger fights. These little disagreements can escalate, sometimes leading to physical altercations. Some may say, “I only pushed them to defend myself,” but that push can be perceived as aggression, and before long, these issues turn into legal battles. Why does this happen? Because forgiveness is absent, and pride takes over.
The Bible warns us that in the last days, love will grow cold. But as children of God, our love should grow warmer every day, especially within our families—between husband and wife, parents and children. Love should be patient, kind, and free from envy. I pray that God’s love will pour into your hearts so that you won’t need to fight. Remember, the Lord will fight for you. If there’s a cold war in your marriage, one of you must take the step to give in. If the situation seems hopeless and your spouse walks away, submit the situation to God. He will end the conflict, restore peace, and reunite you. This is easy for the Lord. Whether the conflict is within your family, your workplace, or even your church, God is able to end all wars.
Prayer: Dear Lord, we thank You. We trust in You, the God who ends all wars. Lord, end the conflicts in families, churches, and nations. Even in places of business or work, where there are struggles and disputes, bring peace. After You end these wars, let there be no more conflict, just as Your Word says, “And a great calm prevailed.” Lord, bring peace to those separated by conflict, whether husbands and wives or even children. Reunite them and help them live in harmony. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
