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.
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 us take from the book of John 16:24, “Ask and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.”
My dear Brothers and Sisters, from now on, not just joy, but joy in its fullness will be your experience. God is going to grant you this complete joy. But what must you do to receive this joy? You need to present your wants and needs to the Lord and ask Him for them. Today, many people find themselves too busy to pray. May your prayer life, which may be in a lifeless state, be revived today. Often, when you need something, you go to others for help. You may ask someone for their jewelry to mortgage, to cover your expenses, and return it later. It’s not wrong to ask friends or neighbors for help, but first, you should ask the Lord—the One who is bound to provide for you, clothe you, pay your children’s fees, and ensure their marriages are arranged. That is why this verse says, “Ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.” If you ask the Lord first, before seeking help from others, He will lead you to the right person, and you will find favor in their eyes. Otherwise, you may not receive help. If you ask God, He will direct you to the right people or institutions, such as banks, and you will not be put to shame but will find favor and receive the help you need. It is not just about fulfilling your desires, but so that your joy may be full.
Today, you may be facing various challenges. Perhaps you’re without a job, your family is separated, you’ve been cheated after paying for a visa or government post, or your marriage has been delayed. Maybe your womb is closed, you don’t have your own home, or your children are living in sin and haven’t received salvation. Whatever your situation, the only solution is the Lord. Go to His presence and lay all your burdens before Him. Tell Him about your problems, your family’s salvation, or personal struggles.
God will answer your prayers and perform miracles, ensuring that your joy is made full. Whatever your needs may be, go to the Lord, who is your anchor. Present your needs to Him. Just like we did while constructing our headquarters in Chennai, facing financial challenges, we prayed earnestly to God, and He met our needs in surprising ways. God made it possible for us to clear our commitments—just as He will do for you. My beloved, instead of worrying about what to do when creditors come knocking, I encourage you to spend time with the Lord, asking Him for help. God will send assistance from all directions. He will stretch out His hands and provide for you. If you practice this, you will experience great joy in your life.
Prayer: Dear Lord, we thank You. I bless all the children in the name of Jesus. Lord, they have many commitments, and many obstacles may stand in their way. But You have given us wise counsel: to come to You and ask, and You will answer in such a way that their joy will be full. Lord, I pray that You give them the spirit of prayer, so they may ask and receive what they need from You. Whatever their needs, Lord, let them stand in Your presence and make their requests known to You. Let them not be borrowers but lenders. Let them not live in poverty but in abundance. Bless them with all they need, and let many good things happen in their lives, that their joy may be full. Open their wombs, build their homes, and bring salvation to their families. Let their joy be complete. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
