My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Today’s life-giving word is taken from the book of Luke 19:17 “And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.”
The Bible raises the question “But who can find a faithful man?” (Proverbs 20:6). Only a man of integrity will prosper and progress in his personal life, spiritual life, and in the work of his hands. The owner of a business will be more diligent, industrious, and virtuous than his employees to reap a bountiful profit. This is what the Bible says, “A faithful man will be richly blessed” (Proverbs 28:20).
God will exalt those who honor and glorify Him. When Joseph was in prison, Pharoah had a dream. No one could decipher the meaning of the dream. But God gave Joseph the grace to interpret the dream, this caused Joseph to receive praise from Pharoah. Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you. (Genesis 41:39). Pharoah set Joseph over all the land of Egypt.
We see a similar situation in Daniel’s life. King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream of a golden statue, and no one could interpret his dream. When Daniel interpreted the dream, King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, prostrate before Daniel, and commanded that they should present an offering and incense to him (Daniel 2:46). The king promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts; and he made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief administrator over all the wise men of Babylon (Daniel 2:48).
These two young men, Daniel and Joseph were filled with the Holy Spirit and were able to interpret the dreams and its hidden meaning. But they never boasted of their ability to interpret the dream instead gave God all the glory and honor and humbly said, “God will reveal it to you.”
Daniel said, “But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days.” (Daniel 2:28).
In the same way Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.” (Genesis 41:16).
Beloved children of God, both Joseph and Daniel honored God before Kings. They humbly declared that without the Lord we cannot interpret the hidden meaning behind the dreams. Likewise, if you honor God in whatever you do, He will lift you up.
Decide today to always honor God in whatever you do. Determine in your hearts to be faithful and truthful in the eyes of the Lord. God will be with you and accomplish mighty things through you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, thank you for guiding my children so far. As you were with Daniel and Joseph in their youth be with them and guide them. Give them the grace to live faithful lives, obey your commandments and honor you entire life. Help my children to live lives that are pleasing in your sight.
In Jesus name I pray.
Amen.
Jonah 2:2, “I cried unto the Lord, because of my affliction, And He answered me.”
My dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Today’s life-giving word is taken from the book of Jonah 2:2, “I cried unto the Lord, because of my affliction, And He answered me.”
My dear children of God, today many of you are caught up in a tight corner situation. Some of you are caught up in financial crises, some suffer in their work spot, some are caught up by members of their own families who cause mental harassment to them, some are suffering because of their own wife, siblings, or by their own children. Due to pressure from members of their own family, terrible trouble shoots up and they suffer from stress, and some sink into depression. So, while they suffer from a period of affliction, and while you travel in the midst of affliction and tight corners, there is someone who could deliver, and helps you from such a situation. I would like to share a few words about such a person. God says, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble and I will deliver you.” Jesus is the one who is all-powerful and He is happy to help you. He alone can help you when you call upon Him.
In the Bible, when David was in a similar situation and attacked fromall four corners, he said, ‘Lord, I praise and thank You for delivering me, from all these hard situations’. God delivered him. Jonah was inside the belly of a huge fish. He couldn’t even breathe freely. He was under the pressure of death. But Jonah, even from the belly of the fish realized his mistake and so he cried out to God for help. He told the Lord that only He could save him from this tight corner situation and deliver him from the mouth of the fish. God had commanded the fish to vomit Jonah on the shore. And the fish obeyed the word of God and left Jonah on the shore safely. Some of you might be caught, in a troubling situation, as Jonah was in the mouth of the fish. Today, you also can call upon the name of the Lord just as God heard the cry of Jonah and delivered him from the mouth of the fish, God will deliver you from your problem however big it may be. God has said, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble”. If you call upon Him, He will come immediately and deliver you. God who delivered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the furnace of fire, is able to deliver you from your problem. God who caused Daniel to escape from the mouth of the Lion, is our God. Today He will deliver.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse that “ I cried unto the Lord, because of my affliction, And he answered me.” Dear Lord, deliver my children from whatever tight corner they are caught up with. Lord, change all their troubled situation and be in the midst of their trouble. “If the Son sets you free then you shall be free indeed”, says, the word of God. Give them real deliverance, open the walls of heaven and bless them. Change all these hard and troubled situations and grant them peace and joy.
In Jesus name we pray ,
Amen.
John 16:13, “However when He, the Spirit of Truth has come, He will guide you into all the Truth”.
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious life-giving word of the Lord for today is taken from the book of John 16:13, “However when He, the Spirit of Truth has come, He will guide you into all the Truth”.
When the Spirit of God comes into your life then He will lead you into the Truth. The Truth here means “The Word of God.” So, when the spirit of truth comes, then He will lead you into the Truth. Why should a man be led by the word of God? This is a question that may arise while you read this verse. Why should a man be led by the word of God is because there is life for a man only in the word of God. There is forgiveness in the word of God and only through the word of God, He will be able to come out of all the knots that he is entangled in.
The word of God is like medicine, that heals the wounds of people and it comforts them. In the Bible, David says, “I have hid thy word in my heart that I may not sin against thee”. Word of God is important to protect us from committing sin in our life. The Holy Spirit will tell from within what to do and what not to do. He will guide you in the right way. That is why, Joseph when he was troubled by Potipher’s wife, to commit sin, he says, How shall I sin against God ? Saying this he threw away his mantle or cloak and ran away from her as he did not want to spoil the temple of God within him. Because he ran away from committing sin, what happened? He did suffer for sometime in the jail, it is true that he was punished unjustly but, in the end, a day came when God honoured his holiness. And since he obeyed the word of God and guarded his purity or chastity, God exalted him as the Governor of Egypt. So, we see that the Holy Spirit instructed him not to commit sin or do anything against his conscience. So, the word of God protects a man from committing sin.
My Dear children of God, let the Holy Spirit stay within you to guide you. Give room for the Holy Spirit into your heart today. When the Spirit of God comes inside of you then you shall receive strength. You should invite the Holy Spirit by saying “Lord, I invite you into my heart, to come and remain inside of me.’’ He will direct you in all circumstances how to speak, how to work, He will teach you everything. So today you give room for the Holy Spirit and the word of God that He teaches, into your heart. Then He will perform great things for you.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse that ‘when the Holy Spirit comes into our hearts, He will lead us into all the Truth’. Holy Spirit come inside the heart of my children and dwell within them. Lord, help them to walk in the way of truth. Let the spirit of God break all the barriers, and cut down all the knots in their life and let all those who say that they are suffering from certain disease, receive divine healing in their bodies. Let the word of God deliver them from the spirit of darkness. Give them all that they need and honour them.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
John 10:9, “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved.”
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 auspicious life-giving word of the Lord for today is taken from the book of John 10:9, “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved.”
This verse means that without God there is no salvation or there is no redemption. No one besides Jesus can save us from our sinful life, or from our wickedness, or our evil ways. Only Jesus has saved us and for saving us He gave Himself freely on the cruel cross, of Calvary. He gave us His very life. He shed every drop of His blood as a price to save us. He purchased us by His sacrifice on the cross. He saved us to give us eternal life. He Himself says, “If anyone enters through Me, then he shall be saved’’ and also, He says “I am the door”. Today many of you are saying, that door has not been opened for you or the way has not been opened for you. It may be the door to salvation, a door for job opportunity, or for family life, or a door for conception to beget a child. You should understand that the one who opens the door, is God. Only He can open the door for you to obtain anything you need. That is why He says, “I am the door”. And when we enter through Him, we can receive what we need in our life.
My Dear children of God, The Bible says, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the father of lights, with whom there is no variation”. So, you need to come to Jesus. Because He alone is the door and only through Him you can get anything you need. Therefore, you must learn to depend upon Him for everything you need.
My dear children of God, some depend upon their children while others depend upon their parents for all their requirements. You should not depend upon others for anything. But when you learn to depend upon God, He will help you earn and make you a blessing for others and not be a burden to others. Always depend upon God, this is how you need to live, and then God will be pleased with and bless you with all the desires of your heart.
God expects holiness and He says, “sanctify yourself today, and you shall see the miracle tomorrow”. You pray and work hard but whether you are holy is the question. Many fail to be holy and perfect in their life. Then how can you expect God to show favour to you? Every day pray, work hard and lead a holy and blameless life, all these things are essential for God to Bless you. God is counselling you today through this message. The Lord is opening a way for your job, a door for your marriage settlement. A door for you to receive the gift of a child. And thus, He will establish you on the face of this earth.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved.” Dear Lord, open all the doors, that had been kept closed all these days to my children. My children are grieved in their heart, as the doors from four corner has been closed for them. Today, open their eye to know you are the only way and help me move forward through you. Then they will be safe and they will be saved. Lord, you have clearly spoken through this message, allow all doors to be opened for my children. Open the door that cannot be shut, and bless them upon the face of this earth. Grant them peace and fill them with joy and happiness.
In Jesus Name we pray
Amen
Nahum 1:7 “The Lord is Good. A stronghold in the day of trouble.”
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious life-giving word of the Lord for today is taken from the book of Nahum 1:7 “The Lord is Good. A stronghold in the day of trouble.”
We all know that God is good. And no one can deny that He is good. Jesus is coming to your house today as a stronghold to save you from all difficult situations, during the period of affliction. We see that everyone has to go through affliction daily in their life, in some way or another. God said, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.” Actually, when difficult times come people forget God. They take all kinds of effort and precautions to manage their difficult situations, But the first and foremost thing you need to do is to call upon the name of the Lord. When you call Him in times of trouble He will come and stand for you.
In the past, you came across several problems hardships and afflictions. You might have met some accidents or the creditors might have troubled you with regarding your debts. Or you might have been troubled due to unnecessary friendship. You might have been caught up in some unwanted cases. All these are like tight corner situations. Many would have pushed you into such terrible situations and they would have escaped or absconded. But the Lord will come over to you, as a stronghold, to support, you in your hard times. So, what you need to do is to look up to God and call upon His name for help. If any of the bitter situations you are in is caused by you then you should confess to God, that you got caught in trouble due to your own mistake. And ask Him to help you come out of that horrible situation. Tell Him “Lord only You can help us out of this situation”. When you ask God for help, then God will come and rescue you from your troubles. He is a good God. There is another verse that says, “Taste and see that the Lord is good”. He will reveal Himself as a good God. He will change every difficult situation favorable to you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, deliver my children from all the difficult situations they are caught into. Lord, you said that you will be our stronghold. In times of trouble. You said that you are a tower of protection that surrounds us. So, all these days my children were not protected by your tower hence they had to face many problems, pain, agony, and sufferings in their life. Since they were not protected by your strong tower, they had been attacked by satan, and pushed into several problems. As a result, they are dejected and pained at heart. Today, Lord, you protect them from all the weapons that are targeted against them, and save them and rescue them so that they may live a safe and peaceful life.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
