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 Luke 8:48 “Your faith has made you well.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we come to understand that the woman was of great faith. Since she exercised faith in her life she was made well. The incident occurred while Jesus was travelling to Jabirus house, actually to heal his daughter but on the way a large crowd thronged around. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for almost twelve long years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors. And had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, in a person’s life sickness come in many ways. May be because satan sits inside of him and causes disease. Some might become sick due to taking unhealthy junk food and cause disease for himself. Sometimes due to family curse, or generation curse a person might acquire certain disease. Sometimes God Himself might allow illness in order to test the faith of that person. Often people get so worried about their illness. It would look like a mountain before them. They are afraid that the sickness would lead to death. What does the Bible say? “An evil disease has clung to him therefore he has fallen on his sick bed.”Since he has fallen on his sick bed he will not rise up again. They say that is the end of him.” They might say, it is an incurable disease. This is the assumption of people. But God is above all. He says, “I know the thoughts that I think towards you. Thoughts of peace and not of evil. To give you a future and a hope. ” No matter how a person is affected by sickness God is able to heal all kinds of disease. He is God of all flesh; there is nothing too hard for Him that He cannot do.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, We read of a woman in the Bible whose name is unknown. She was a woman having a flow of blood for twelve long years. She spent all her lively hood, on physicians, and could not be healed. Therefore having heard that Jesus was passing by the road side. And though there was a great crowd she managed to come from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately the flow of blood stopped. She was healed of her disease completely in a moment. An extraordinary power was released from Jesus upon her. So Jesus questioned as to who touched Him, Just then the woman admitted that it was she who touched His garment. She declared to him in the presence of all the people, the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately. Looking at her Jesus said, “’Daughter be of good cheer, your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”’Many thought that she who had fallen sick with the issue of blood, will never again rise up. Some thought she would die of this sickness. God’s power is beyond human prediction. For in a moment the issue of blood was stopped. God gave her free healing. God gave her another opportunity to live her life.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, What kind of incurable disease are you suffering from. Are you taking many types of medicines? And yet you are unable to get cured. You don’t seem to get better in spite of taking good medication. For such kind of people, God is going to perform a miracle for you today. For those of you who are reading this message, make use of the opportunity that is given to you. Increase your faith in God. Just as the woman with the issue of blood, was healed because of her ardent faith in Jesus, you also will be healed of your disease. Exercise faith in your daily life. You will enjoy the rich blessings of God.
God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Increase our faith in You Lord. Make us to be bold like the woman with an issue of blood, to approach Jesus. Thank You Lord for releasing your power upon us. Thank you for healing all our disease. Help us to move forward in our life with hope and dependence upon God and His favour.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved, I greet and bless you in the name of our Creator, Maker, and ever unforgettable Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of 2 Chronicles 14:11, “And Asa Cried out to the Lord his God and said, “Lord it is nothing for you, to help whether with many or with those who have no power, help us O Lord for we rest on you, and in your name we go against this multitude. You are our God; do not let man prevail against You.”
From the above context we see the character of Asa. He did that which was good and right in the sight of God. He found that God’s eyes were always upon him. And that helped him to do what was right and pleasing to God. He removed the altars of all the foreign gods, and the high places, and broke down the scared pillars and cut down the wooden images. He commanded the tribe of Judah to seek the Lord, God of their fathers. He removed the incense altars of foreign gods, from all the cities of Judah. Therefore the kingdom was quite under him. And he built fortified cities, in Judah, for the land, had rest. There was no war, because the Lord had given him rest. Asa was more like his ancestor David, in character. He further built high cities, and made walls, around them and towers, gates and bars, as God had given rest on every side. “This proves Asa’s bold and strong hand in exercising power over the Land of Judah.
When the land was at rest, Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and 300 chariots. So Asa and his army went against him. He was scared to face the large battle troops so he cried out to God, saying, “Lord it is nothing for you to help whether with many or with those who have no power. Help us O Lord, our God, for we rest on you, and in Your name we go against this multitude. O Lord do not let man prevail against you. So the Lord on hearing the cry of king Asa responded to him immediately. The Lord was pleased with Asa, because he did all that was pleasing in the sight of the Lord. So as soon as he called upon the name of the Lord for Help the Lord descended upon him in a mighty manner and struck the Ethiopians before Asa, and Judah, and therefore the Ethiopians fled, from the battle field. God encourages all those of you reading this message that God will come down to help you when you call upon His name in truth. He will fight the battle for you. He will never put you to shame before your enemies. Moreover God through the character of king Asa encourages you to be bold and do all that is good in the sight of God.
When you walk in the ways of God, then He will surround you with His mercy and Grace. He will cover you with a hedge of protection. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. He will hear your cry and reach out His righteous right hand to help you. He will never forget you nor forsake you. He will help you come out of your worst situation that you may be facing in your life. Because of huge debts you are unable to face the people around you. Or maybe you have been suddenly thrown out of your job for no reason of yours. It is a simple thing for the Lord to do, whether with many or with those who do not have power. Therefore submit yourselves in the mighty hand of God as Asa did, and you shall be victorious in your life. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for encouraging us to do, that which pleases You. Help us to work according to your plan and purpose in our life. Just as Asa put away the altars of foreign gods, may we boldly put away all unwanted things from our heart, like pride, selfishness, anger, and learn to be more submissive before men and God. Not return evil for evil. But do good to all. Make us victorious in our life.
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 Saviour Jesus Christ. The blessed word that God has given you for today is from the book of Psalms 65:11, “You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance.”
My dearly beloved, God will surely crown this year with His goodness. When you think of God’s goodness, it would be a great blessing because the blessing of the Lord makes one rich and does not add sorrow to it. God alone can give a blessing that does not cause sorrow. God says, By His goodness, He is going to crown this year. How many of you think that this year should be crowned with the goodness of God. The Bible says, Hereafter you shall not be hungry, neither shall you be thirsty. God is assuring you this New-year that you will neither hunger nor thirst. God promises that He will not leave you in famine or in thirst. You shall be fed and well watered. The Bible says, all the children shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water. There will be no drought. Because the Lord who is guiding you will lead you to a fertile land. He will lead you by the still waters. So, the Lord who crowns this year with His goodness, will hold your hand and lead you in order that you might enjoy His goodness, in green pastures. He will feed you with the finest of wheat, and drink the honey from the rock, God will lead you by the river side near springs of water.
The word of God says, because He is concerned about you, He will do all things well for you. God is not blessing you because of your talent, or because of your good works. God looks at you and is very gracious and merciful towards you. He knew that you had suffered a lot last year, due to various reasons. But it should not continue this year also and so He Himself is wanting to lead you by holding your hand to these springs of water. He will provide the source of living, the spring of your income, the spring of your power, and the spring of your faith, God will open for you in the coming year and help you to flourish in your life. Until yesterday you were suffering from all kinds of perils and dangers, you experienced a lot of fear and threat. But this year God wants to bless you with peace from all sides. In this New Year God will crown the year with His goodness. God will change everything for your tgood and benefit of your life.
In the Bible, we see how Joseph’s brothers caused evil to him by throwing him into the deep pit and later sold him to the Egyptian merchants. But God out of mercy changed the evil for his good. God made him the governor of Egypt. And through him, his father Jacob and his brothers were blessed. God who changed, the evil into a blessing for Joseph will also do the same for you. He will not allow you to suffer because of evil. He is a God without partiality. Will He not do for you as He did for Joseph. God will surely do for you. May God help you to live in faith.
Prayer: Dear Lord we thank You. Lord, You said, that You crown the year with Your goodness. According to Your promise please bless Your children and crown the year with Your goodness. Lord bless them with good job, with good life partner, and may they be well settled in life. May their business be prosperous. Help them to do good ministry. Let all barriers be broken, and let their lives be rebuilt and resurrected. Help them to see good days in life. May your children experience Your Presence and your love abundantly. I pray and bless them in the name of Jesus. Help them to see many wonders in their life.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious word of God that comes to you for today is taken from the book of Psalms 121:7, “The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.”
We have just entered the New Year and slowly trying to settle ourselves. God will be with you in your undertakings. So do not worry as to how the New Year is going to be but always depend on the Lord Almighty and He will lead you in a mighty manner. In this world, we have to face many afflictions, problems and troubles in our lives especially in the surrounding place where we live in our neighbourhood, in our workplace, in our ministry, and in our business especially in our families. Many dangerous things surround us because satan is going about as a roaring lion to devour us. He is only looking out for a chance to trap people who come his way.
But from today, God says, that He will preserve you from all kinds of horrible people and every form of horror that strikes you every now and then. God will protect you from the evil hands of the people and also the evil work of the satan. God will nullify all their plans. He will not allow all their plans to materialize against your life. As a result, God will safeguard you from all the evil thoughts and works of the evil one.
What must you do for the Lord to safeguard you from the works of the evil one? You must surrender your life to Him. And tell him about your difficult situations. Tell Him that there are many people who are waiting to attack you from all corners. And request Him to protect you from the hands of those wicked and cruel people. Share with God all your problems daily and you shall be comforted. He has said, “Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden, I will give you rest.” Tell God that there are many people who confront you, though they often pretend to be good. Say “Lord You alone can protect and redeem me from their hands, I surrender my life to you. Save me from their cruel and wicked plots.”
The Bible says, “When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.” Therefore when you surrender your life to God He will change the attitude of your enemies and make them come back to you in friendly terms.
In the past, many of you could have suffered because of the power of the witchcraft, sorcery and divination that had been cast upon you by your enemies. But the Lord will even protect you from such evil deeds that had been cast upon you due to jealousy or revenge by your own people. God will protect you in such a way that no evil will befall you. Some of you are thinking that there is no one to redeem you from out of all your struggles. Today God will deliver you. Whether you are in the jail or in the deep sea, or in the trap of huge debts, or from some kind of wrong relationship that had been forced upon you in a secret manner, whatever it may be God will redeem you, from all harm and danger. God will not only redeem you from all such hurdles but also save your soul. Not only your body but also your soul will be protected by God. He will save your soul from falling into sin and from being filled with grief. So, we shall bow before the Lord who will not only protect you but also comfort you by His word. Submit yourself to the Lord, your family to the Lord, and your business and even your ministry in the hands of God. Then the Lord will do great things for you.
Prayer: Dear Lord, we thank You. Lord you who keep us safe from all the troubles that surround us, and also you who saves our soul from destruction. Whatever disaster that people may cause to us, we pray that God will protect and safeguard us from all such problems which are thrust upon us. We submit ourselves, our family, our business, and our ministry, and everything that causes harm to us, in your precious hands. Keep us from all harm and danger, disease, and famine and pestilence.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of Matthew 7:11 says, “If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven, give good things to them that ask of Him?
From the above context we understand that as parents we give our children what is good. We give the best to our children. We love our children so much, that we give them that which is good. We search for it in the shops or market and get them because we wish to satisfy their needs. We are eager to fulfil their desire. We never would postpone their request for a long period. When we as parents wish to fulfil the desire of our children, how much more will our Heavenly Father, long to fulfil the desire of those who ask Him. Mankind in general are conceived in sin. Most of them are evil in their thoughts and actions. The Bible says, even such people know how to give good gifts to their children. They give their best to their children though it costs them much. In spite of their difficulty they try to meet the need of their children.
When parents can afford to give good gifts to their children, how much more will the Heavenly Father, who is omniscient, and omnipotent, who knows the needs of His children give, what is good and proper for them. David in his psalms says, God satisfies the hungry soul and satisfies your mouth with good things. The Bible says, God gives all good things, to them that ask Him. All good things refer to both material and spiritual blessings. He will provide you with a good job. Only if you have a good job, with a good salary can you meet all your expenditure. So he blesses you with a job, then a family, then children. He grants you a good house to stay and then he expands the borders of your territory either at your work spot or your business. Gradually but surely God blesses those that depend upon Him. He will neither leave them nor forsake them.
The Bible says, Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find “knock and the door shall be opened unto you.”All you got to do is to inquire of God all that you need and surely the Lord will grant you, your petition. God has richly provided spiritual gifts through the Holy Spirit. These are the gift of wisdom, knowledge and good understanding. God not only provides temporal gifts such as meat, drink and clothing, but all spiritual gifts to know about God and His teachings. To understand who God is and what He expects of us are all spiritual gifts. When you desire to know more of Him then He will reveal the gifts of prophesy, to speak in tongues, and the gift of praying for others and the gift of healing others through your prayers.
We receive only when we ask God, what we need. God also expects us to ask Him when we are in need. He says, “Until now you have not asked anything in My Name. Ask and you will receive that your joy may be full. ”God further says, whatever you ask in MY name, This I will do that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Therefore if you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”We also need to believe that if we ask anything to God in prayer, we will definitely receive it. Having read this message, I pray that the Lord enable you to completely rely on Him for all your needs. David says in his psalms, “Lord to You all flesh will come, For You hear the prayer. Ask and you will receive. God bless you.
Prayer: Our Loving Heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You because You hear our prayer. You hear the prayer of the destitute. Teach us to ask You in prayer what we need. We also thank You for all the gifts that You have bestowed upon us. Both spiritual and temporal. In spite of our sinful nature You consider us and guide us in the way we should go. Help us to understand your Power and Majesty. Thank You for providing the best for us, more than our earthly father.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
