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 Genesis 26:28, But they said, “We have certainly seen that the Lord is with you. So, Let there now be an oath between us, between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we understand that those whom God blesses and favours, have reason enough to forgive those that hate them since even the worst enemy cannot do them any real hurt. Isaac too appeared to be as much the favourite of heaven, as Abraham was. It appears from this verse that a strong sense still prevailed of God’s providence and of his ordering the affairs of men so that blessings might come on the righteous. So the Philistines not only observed this with regard to Isaac, but also desired to enter into a covenant with him on that account. The Bible says, when a man’s ways, please the Lord He makes even his enemies, to be at peace with him.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, The Philistines said, that they not only saw, Isaac prosper while he was among them, by the fullness of the land, he sowed, and by the increase of his family, his flocks, and herds, but also after he had gone from them in the valley of Gerar and later in Beersheba how God had exalted him. So they talked one to another, about his prosperity. So they decided to make a covenant with him. They said, “Do not hurt us. As we have not touched you. Thou art now blessed of Yahweh. ’’ But Isaac needed no guarantee from them as the Lord was with him.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Kings hearts are in the hands of God and when He pleases He can turn them to favour His people. So it is not wrong to deal well with those who have acted unfairly with us. But Isaac did not insist on the unkindness which the Philistines had done to him. He freely entered into friendship with them. God teaches us to be peaceable with all men. Providence smiled upon what Isaac did. God blessed his labour. The treaty with Abimelek was similar to what Abraham had with the king of Gerar. Isaac’s prosperity was a manifestation of the Lords favour. Hence Abimelech and his men desired to make a treaty with him.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for blessing Isaac with your providence. Also you have shown your favour to him and magnified him before the Philistines. Similarly please cause your face to shine upon us. May we be blessed like Isaac. Lift us up before others and reveal to others that God is in the midst of us.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
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 Acts 2:17, “I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh”.
There is no greater blessing for anyone than for the Lord’s Spirit to be poured upon them. Children of God, reading these words, when the Lord’s Spirit is poured into a man, he becomes a different person. What does this mean? It means he becomes a new man. When the Lord’s Spirit is poured into a man, all his actions will become perfect. He will not hurt anyone but will encourage others. Today, the Lord is looking at us and is telling that He will pour out His Spirit on us. When the Lord’s Spirit is poured out on a man, fruits of the Spirit will be revealed through him.
In what ways are you ruining your fruits? From this day, you must become those who yield good fruits. You must grow as a good person. People who see you must know that you are child of God. They must say, “He is with Jesus’. People who saw the disciples said, “They were with Jesus”. They said that their actions were like Jesus. When the Lord’s Spirit comes on a man, his actions will be directed by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the One who leads you in all truth. When the Holy Spirit comes, you will be strengthened, you will be freed. Today, the Lord will give you a life of deliverance. You will rise and shine on this earth.
PRAYER: Loving Lord, we thank you! You have told that You will pour out Your Spirit on all flesh. We praise you for pouring out the Holy Spirit on your children. Let the people see the difference before and after the Holy Spirit is poured upon your children. May the Holy Spirit fill them. Cause them to see wonders. Let every disappointment be removed from their lives. Let their fears depart. Let the Holy Spirit that gives courage be with them.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen!
Psalm 90: 15, “Make us glad according to the days, in which You have afflicted us.”
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Today’s word of God is taken from the book of Psalm 90: 15, “Make us glad according to the days, in which You have afflicted us.”
My dear children of God, many of you have been afflicted by others during the course of your life. And you are continuously suffering pain and agony in your life even now. Today God is looking at the affliction that you are going through and he is going to perform a miracle for you to make you glad. Watching over your affliction, God wants to do some good deed in your life and make you happy as per this verse, ‘God will satisfy you early, according to the days wherein you have been afflicted’.
In the Bible, we can see that the people of Israel were being crushed in the hands of the Egyptians by their taskmasters. Daily they were shedding tears and suffering in pain, They cried out to heaven. The Lord sent Moses, the man of God with the gift of power to relive these people and redeemed them from the hands of the Egyptians. Today God is listening to your cry which reaches the doors of heaven, He hears your lamentation that you make before God. So, God is sending His life-giving Word to comfort you and strengthen you. And just as God gave the people of Israel the good and large land flowing with milk and honey, He is going to bless you with a new life running with milk and honey and He will reward you for the years you faced pain, torment, and tribulation.
Hannah said to God, Lord if you will see my affliction and grant to me a child, I shall dedicate that child for the ministry of God. Some children are afflicted and insulted by everyone. Today, ask the Lord to see your affliction and grant you a child or a job or with a life partner. Then He will surely answer your prayers and grant you what you have asked for.
PRAYER: Our loving heavenly Father, as you said in your word today that“Make us glad according to the days, in which You have afflicted us.” We claim it in Jesus Name in our life. Lord, let your promise be fulfilled in their life, open the doors of heaven and bless them. May all barriers be broken apart and let all the good things happen in their homes. Change all their sorrows into joy and make them glad. I submit all the problems of my children into Your hands, deliver my children from all their trials and temptations. Bless them with peace and happiness.
In Jesus Name I pray.
Amen
Dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am glad to meet all of you through this message. The year 2022 had just begun, but very soon eight months have gone by. We have stepped into the ninth month. Well some of you are saying Brother, nothing great has happened in our life during these eight months. Nothing worth telling. We are just trudging our way through. Don’t worry for the Lord is coming to your home today, to bless you with a nice promise from His living word. The auspicious life giving word of the Lord for today is taken from the book of Exodus 3:7 “I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt. And have heard their cry because of their task masters. For I know their sorrows.’’
In the same manner God has heard your cry He has seen your tears, just as He had seen the affliction of His people in Egypt. Do you know when a person will cry out? When he goes through a great loss, a death in his family, Some incident that could cause sorrow, or being subjected to suppression by someone, Or when one is under oppression or captivity through the higher authority. In such times they cry out aloud due to pain and agony.
There was a blind man called Bartimaeus, who cried aloud to Jesus while he was passing by. Jesus stood by him and performed a miracle for him. He received his sight.
Again there was a leper who cried out to Jesus, He said, Lord if it is your will please heal me. Jesus did not neglect his call. He immediately stood there looked at the man, and he touched him and healed him of his leprosy. Isn’t He the same Jesus whom we are worshipping today? Yes, He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Why won’t he listen to your call? The Bible says, your cry should be heard by the Lord. You need to cry aloud, only then He will respond to your call. This is how the people of Israel were oppressed by the Pharaoh of Egypt. They were cruelly treated. They were asked to construct huge structures. They were beaten and badly exploited. Men , women and children were penalised so they cried out to God out of pain and agony to deliver them from the hands of cruel task masters.
Since they cried out to God , He heard their cry and sent Moses the deliverer to deliver them from the hands of Pharaoh. In the same way to deliver you from your troubles, today God is speaking to you through this ambassador of God. Moses redeemed the people of God by performing many wonders in the midst of the people of Egypt. As you are reading this message many wonders and miracles will happen in your life and that of your family. God will surely deliver you from the oppression and affliction you are going through in your life. You will definitely come out of your problems, your debts, your disease and your case successfully. He will bring you out of your struggles and take you into a good and large land, flowing with milk and honey. God will grant you peace and prosperity.
PRAYER: Lord we thank you. Father we thank you for listening to the cry of your children. You heard the cry of the blind man. You also heard the cry of the leper and healed him of his disease. You asked them both as to what they were in need of. The blind man wanted sight and the leper wanted to be healed of his disease. You performed miracles and granted their requests. Lord today you are asking your children what they are in need of. Whatever their need may be please grant them their request. Do it for them immediately. Please perform a miracle in remembrance of this day. Release them from all oppression and captivity and lead them into a land flowing with milk and honey so that they may lead a fresh and new life . Thank you Lord for accomplishing our request.
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 Genesis 7:7,16, “And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.”
From the above context we learn that God called Noah and asked him to build an ark. The Lord was hurt to see that, the earth was corrupt, before God, and the earth was filled with violence. For all flesh had corrupted their way, on the earth. The Lord was sorry that He made man on the earth. And He was grieved in his heart. So God decided to destroy the man from the face of the earth. During that time God found Noah to be a just and perfect man in his generation. So God asked Noah to build an ark to safeguard Noah and his family, from the oncoming floods. He instructed him how he should build the ark and also he saw that every kind of birds and living creatures, both male and female, should be let into the ark, to save them also from the floods. God was not only mindful of mankind but also all living creatures. So Noah made an Ark and did all that the Lord had commanded because he had found grace in the sight of God.
God said to Noah, “Come into the ark.”’ As soon as Noah and his wife, his sons, and his sons wives and all living creatures entered into the ark God shut the door of the ark by Himself so that no one could enter into the ark during the disastrous floods. Just as God shut Noah into the ark, you too were shut within your house, in order that you may be protected from the horrible disease, Corona, that killed millions of people across the world. God was merciful to you and your family. He did not wish to destroy you. Many of you reading this message were quite interested to go to school, college , to office and even to church but you couldn’t go during that period of time. All were compelled to stay indoors. The Bible says, waters prevailed on the earth for nearly 150 days, during the time of Noah. God had permitted Noah 150 days of lock down inside the ark, to keep him protected from the floods.
Thus God has saved you from Corona Virus. He has kept you alive. Praise the Lord. Today schools, colleges, offices and even churches have been opened. But you now feel, wouldn’t it be better if you had a few more days of vacation so that you could remain at home and enjoy yourself. You should realize why God allowed Corona and how God kept you well protected through Lock down Period. God is ever mindful of you and your family. You might have incurred great loss in your business or all your loans are yet to be paid which you have borrowed from the bank and from other sources. But God who saved you from Corona and has given you life will also help you overcome the fallen economic condition. He will surely cause you to escape from the poor economic situation. He will stabilize and establish your life again. So don’t lose heart. God says, “ In this world you will have troubles, but be cheerful, for I have overcome the world.” Since God has overcome the world, He will help you to overcome your problems however big they may be. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, we thank you for saving us from the Corona and keeping us alive. We thank You Father, for helping us to overcome all the losses we have incurred in our business and thus help us to prosper. Help us to put our faith in You Lord. Teach us to be perfect and righteous before You, like Noah. And thereby receive grace in Your sight.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
