Dearly Beloved in Christ, 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 Isaiah 55:8,9, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts. Neither are your ways, my ways. Says, the Lord for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways.”
Too often we try to imagine that God must do what we expect. Too frequently we create in our minds an unreal God, made in our own image and likeness, instead of realising that we are made in His image and likeness and that He is the eternal God and universal Creator, whose works and ways are beyond our limited understanding. And that we are temporal creatures. Man is indeed unique in God’s entire creation and although we are made in His image and likeness yet, because Adam the first man sinned, our entire race should have been eternally separated from God. But in His amazing grace He sent His Son Jesus Christ to become sin for us so that by believing in Him, we might be forgiven and made the righteousness of God in Him.
It is so easy to be overwhelmed by despair, and fear in the world today due to sin, war, disease, and death. Because all these find a way to steal our hopes, and cause us to doubt, that there is a hope for a good future for us. But by the power of the Holy Spirit, you should be able to look forward, with joy to reach God’s destiny for your life. We see how Naaman obeyed the words of the prophet Elisha, and dipped himself seven times, in the river Jordan, and immediately his leprosy was restored and his flesh was like that of a little child. Just believe like Naaman, that God has a plan and purpose for you in your life. For all the promises of God in Him are yes and in Him, Amen to the glory of God, through us. For Promises are given to quicken and encourage us in our prayer life.
Therefore, how vitally important, it is to remember Who God is and who we are. It is necessary to understand that God is omniscient and is perfect in all that He plans. And so God reminds us through the above verse that in every area of life, “My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways. ” declares the LORD. The Bible says, many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. Let us hence realize that His plans and purposes are perfect. And although our hopes may be disappointed, our plans may fail and our expectation may be frustrated, believe that God has a higher purpose to which He is working, and as His children, we are a part of His eternal plan. Let us never forget that His thoughts and plans and ways and His works are all working together for good – to those that are the called according to His purpose.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, forgive us our pride in trying to guess wrongly what You are doing and planning for us. Help us to accept the plans and purposes you have for us, in our life. Thank You Lord for the perfect plan, which you have made for all Your children. Teach us to look at the Cross, and may Your will be done in our life.
In Jesus Name We Pray
Amen.
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious life-giving word of the Lord for today, is from the book of Malachi, 4:2, “But to you who fear My name the sun of righteousness will arise.”
The Sun of Righteousness came as the light of the world two thousand years ago. He came as the light to illumine the hearts of men. He came as the light of life to a lost and dying world. He manifested the light of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ our Saviour. He is the fountain of light for all who put their trust in Him and He is our righteous Saviour, “The Lord Our Righteousness.” When the sun of righteousness shines upon a man, he will receive healing, redemption, everlasting life and peace with God, not only that, he/she will find justice under His wings.
Therefore, you shall receive justice in all the matters in which you had not received justice until now. The God who does justice to you in all the matters in which you have not yet received justice, will now shine upon you and grant you justice. Wherever you carry this God and go about, the Sun of righteousness, will show favour and do justice for you, which had been denied all these days. All that you do will not only prosper, but all the injustice done to you will be stopped.
Many children are saying, I faced a lot of injustice and terrible hardship in life through many people until yesterday. Many of you are crying saying isn’t there any solution to my problem? When will all this come to an end? Will there not be a breakthrough in my life? The Lord is bringing an end to all your affliction. He has come down in your midst, to do justice for you in all the matters in which you did not receive, justice.
In the Bible, we can see Joseph who was rejected and sold as a slave by his own brothers, but He feared the Lord and walked in the way of the Lord. Since the Sun of Righteousness shined upon him, God made Joseph the Governor of Egypt and gave him all authority over the people of Egypt and exalted him in that strange land. God made Joseph sit among kings and ministers.
Therefore, fear the Lord and obey Him in all the circumstances and carry this Sun of Righteousness in your life wherever you go, and then many good things will happen. All that was evil to you, until yesterday, will turn out good for you today.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord have mercy on all those children who have experienced injustice in their life and have been subjected to affliction beyond measure. Lord even though they had done no harm to anyone, they have suffered in the hands of others. Lord look upon them one more time. May you see their affliction and do good to them. Let the sun of righteousness shine upon them who have fear for the Lord. When you shine upon my children, then justice will be done to them. All the injustice, torment and agony which they experienced will be nullified. May they enjoy real peace in their lives.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
Leviticus 20:8, “I am the Lord who sanctifies you. “
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 the Lord is taken from the book of Leviticus 20:8, “I am the Lord who sanctifies you. “
If a man must live a holy life, then he should obey the commandments of God. In this world, the Government has framed many laws, rules, and regulations for people to follow. If they don’t follow these rules then they are punished for offending the laws laid down by the government. Likewise, God too has laid down certain rules and regulations for His children to follow so that they may inherit eternal life. If you follow and obey those rules then you can live a holy life. God can make you holy if you submit yourself unto Him. When you become holy, miracles will begin to happen. Today you are expecting many miracles to happen in your life. And to obtain those miracles you need to do a lot of backup tasks. But you often forget to do them. There is a beautiful verse in the Bible that says, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you”. (Joshua 3:5)
My dear children of God, why has God set up the plan of being holy before you receive a miracle, God thinks that, only if holiness is the option to receive miracles, then people will learn to be holy and perfect in life. One can be holy only if he obeys the word of God and His commandments
In the Bible we can see, Israel had been in the wilderness for 40 years. Now they are about to cross over the Jordan River into the promised land. At that time the Lord spoke through Joshua, to the people of Israel, saying “Today you sanctify yourself, tomorrow the waters of river Jordan will go back”. So, all the people sanctified themselves. And the next day when the High priests, who were holy and anointed by God stepped into the river, the waters of river Jordan went behind and separated a way for them to pass through. Likewise, whatever may be the way you think has not been opened for you until this day, will be opened in your life, provided you sanctify yourself. And then God will perform miracles for you.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse “I am the Lord who sanctifies you”. Dear Lord, my children are waiting for many miracles to happen in their lives. Grant them their request. Help them to sanctify themselves to obtain these miracles from You. Lord, give them the grace to obey the commandments of God and follow the precepts of God. Open ways, that have not been opened for a very long time. Grant them ways that cannot be shut down and help them to live in peace. Cause them to expand to the right and the left and extend the borders of their territory.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
John 14:14, “If You ask anything in My name, I will do it”.
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 the Lord is taken from the book of John 14:14, “If You ask anything in My name, I will do it”.
The above verse says, “I will do whatever you ask in My name.” The one who promised you is not an ordinary man, but He is God of the whole universe. He is not a man to lie. He will do what He says. There is nothing that God cannot do for you. The Bible says ‘He is a God who says by His mouth and does by his hands’ (2 Chronicles 6:4). Therefore, my dear children, this verse is a word of confidence God gives you. Today you can ask what you desire and God is openly declaring that He will do it for you.
In the Bible, we can see a blind man Bartimaeus, who saw Jesus passing by and cried aloud saying, “Jesus’ son of David, have mercy on me”. He called on the name of Jesus. Jesus heard him and asked him “What must I do for you? He immediately said, “Lord I need my sight because I don’t have sight”. If only I had my sight, I can earn my living”. The Lord heard his cry and immediately performed a miracle for him and he received his sight. This verse tells you to call upon the name of Jesus. Then, God, the Father will perform a miracle for you. Jesus said, “Whatever you ask in My name, I shall do it.” The Blind man called on the name of Jesus and so he received his sight.
Today the Lord is asking you, what are you in need of? What do you want Me to do for you? Ask in the name of Jesus, believing in faith you will receive it. When you call on the name of Jesus, He will hear your cry and answer you immediately. Do you want a house of your own, a government job, or a visa for your children to go abroad? Or you need any auspicious event to take place in your family. Or do you need the fruit of the womb? Ask and believe that God the Father has granted your requests so that your joy may be full. You shall receive it today itself.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse, “If You ask anything in My name, I will do it”. Lord, when my children ask you in the name of Jesus please grant them their petition, since your word is yes and Amen in Christ Jesus. Help them to believe you and put their trust in you. Bless my children with a double portion of blessing, fulfil their desires and honour them. So that they may rejoice in their heart. Let my children live a life that testifies to your name.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen
Isaiah 60:18, “Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, Neither wasting or destruction within your borders”
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 the Lord is taken from the book of Isaiah 60:18, “Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, Neither wasting or destruction within your borders”.
In the above verse, the Lord says two things. There will be no violence in your life and destruction will no longer enter your borders. Hearing this some of you may be happy since you have suffered a lot of violence in your life during the past.
In the Bible we can see, a mother came to Jesus and pleaded to heal her daughter who had been immensely troubled by an evil spirit and had an unclean spirit. She couldn’t bear to see her daughter suffering so much. The woman had great faith in the Lord. She strongly believed that if she approached the Lord Jesus Christ then her daughter would be healed. She came and fell at Jesus feet and she asked Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. Jesus said to her, “it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” And she answered and said to Him, “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” Jesus was astonished by her faith.” Then He said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment. And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter was healed.
Today you too might be saying, “Lord I can’t bear to see my son suffering.” I can’t bear to see my daughter suffer at the hands of her in-laws. Or you might say, Lord, I can’t bear to see my husband suffering. The husband might say, “Lord I can’t bear to see my wife suffering.” In case you are saying like the woman who came to the Lord and said, “Lord I can’t bear to see the sufferings of my daughter”. The Lord was touched by the adamant faith of the woman and healed her daughter. Likewise, God is going to set you free from all the sufferings and there will be no destruction found in your borders. This indicates that during the past, you had suffered much destruction and loss. Death, famine, and poverty. But hereafter these will not repeat in your life. You had suffered enough. God is therefore giving you assurance regarding this. Moreover, you will recover all that you had lost. Many things could have been destroyed because of your rivalries or because of your negligence. But God is saying, that you shall recover all that you had lost in your life. Good days are ahead of you.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse “Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, neither wasting nor destruction within your borders”. Many of my children are broken-hearted, as they had experienced much violence in their life. All violence that they had been enduring will come to an end. Lord help my children to dwell in peaceful habitation. Help them to recover all that they had lost in their life as said in verse “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten— the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm”. According to the years of their destruction, honor them and make them live in peace. Descend upon them in a mighty manner and let them enjoy peace and prosperity.
In Jesus’ Name we pray.
Amen.
