My beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious word of God for today is taken from the book of Isaiah 61:3, “To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; and that He may be glorified.”
Today is a special day. It is called Ash Wednesday. The fasting day begins from today. This day will be the first day of 40 days fasting. In the above verse we read about the list of things that Jesus came to do in this world. And one among them is to console those who mourn in Zion, and to give beauty for ashes. He comforts those who are in trouble, or those facing problems in their life. When a man suffers due to sorrow, or is in pain and agony because of some distressing incident, his heart gets disturbed. His mind gets disturbed. He loses his peace of mind. So this day can be considered as a day when God wants to set right his life of sorrow. You will know that many will not be taking non vegetarian food during these days of fasting. Some of them will give up all the bad habits they are practising during these days, as a mark of respect to the Lord who died for them on the cross. Many will take good resolutions during these days. Especially these days are considered as holy days. So they will be careful to behave very holy and righteous these forty days. God says, God will console all those who mourn over the death of the Lord or because they mourn over the loss of their own loved ones or may be due to some distressing situation in their lives.
My dearly beloved if you have experienced any calamity in your life that has led you to mourn and weep and suffer anguish and pain, then the Lord is going to console and comfort you. He wants to give you beauty for ashes, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
There are some who would have been hurt by their own sinful life and would be in grief and sorrow. Therefore they would be filled with grief and pain in committing sin before God again and again. For such people the Lord is going to forgive their sins and deliver them from their sinful activities so that they may not sin against God in future, but be established in Him. Jesus came to deliver mankind from their sinful nature and thus console them and comfort them in their life. God has come into your house to set right all those who are fickle minded and unsteady in their life. God is making them all a new creation. He is not only going to console those who mourn in Zion but He wants to give them beauty for ashes. He also wants to supply those people with the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; and that God’s name may be glorified, through their lives.
God wants to give them beauty for ashes. Now do you know who will sit among the ashes? Only those who are severely broken in heart and also who suffer various problems will sit among ashes. They will apply ashes upon themselves and sit on the rugged sack. Ash indicates the nature of being destroyed or spoilt. They cannot be of any good use. That day we see about Job who was slowly decaying in his physical body and financially and he was under tremendous pressure because he had lost all his ten children and all his cattle and wealth were washed away and so he became a poor and despised man on the face of this earth. He was disregarded because of his poor state of life. He sat on the ash heap and applied some ash on his body to show that he was dejected and broken hearted. Any burnt stuff is known as the ash. It may be paper or wood, dry leaves or even human body, whatever is burnt becomes ash in the end. Job was sitting in such a situation so weary and worn out on ash heap. So we see Job sitting on the ashes saying all is finished in his life. There is nothing more tragic to happen any further. When all seems to have been over and there is no more hope, then Jesus comes into your homes to light up or give hope in your life. Because Jesus is not only Omega but He is also the Alpha or the beginning.
My dearly beloved, today what are the things that seem to be like Omega. All have come to an end for you. And therefore you are broken hearted and very grief stricken. Seeing your troubled state of life God wants to be Alpha in your life and give you a new beginning, and bless you with all good things. God wants to make you as a new creation and also start a new era in your life by consoling and strengthening you over all your grief stricken life and refresh your soul and mind. That is why He came into this world. And on this Ash Wednesday as you meditate during these days, on the sufferings of Jesus on the cross God will do a miracle for you. All those who cry out to God asking Him to stabilize you and console you , God will immediately descend upon you, and perform a miracle for you and establish you. You who are sitting among the ash heap and saying all is over in my life, God is going to renew your life and restart you with newness in life.
Prayer: Lord we thank you. Lord I bless all the children who are reading this message in the name of Jesus. We thank You, Lord for consoling us and comforting us. We see Daniel, who was taken as a refugee, made a commitment in his life that he would not eat of the kings delicacies, and thus defile his body. Since he made this decision in his life, God exalted him to sit with kings and princes. Similarly may your children make new resolution to remain holy and pure in their life. May they give up all their sinful life and live a life pleasing unto God. Create in them a new heart and new life that would be acceptable in God’s sight. Let their life be established in the manner that God is pleased with and may they live a glorious life for God. Remove all sorrow and grief from them, because of their debts, or disease or financial crisis, and gladden their heart. We thank You Lord for bringing about a change in their life. Lord You have said, that you will give them beauty for ashes. So consider all those who are sitting among the ashes and transform their lives to that of godliness, holiness, and pleasing in the sight of God.
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 word of God that comes to you for today, is taken from the book of 1 Chronicles 29:12, says, both riches and honour come of thee.”
Riches and Honour come from heaven. Only God can give you riches and wealth. You need to understand that in order to make you rich God became poor by His death on the cross. God took upon himself all your poverty and bore it upon Himself and crucified them on the cross. So there is no more poverty for you. Until yesterday people looking at you might say, you are very poor and therefore they might have kept you aside. They would have refused to talk to you or have anything to do with you. For God is going to make you rich and wealthy. God is taking certain special steps in order to make you rich. He is going to open a way for you to secure a good permanent job so that you may earn money to manage your livelihood.
If you are not getting monthly salary then God will give you a better position that will help you earn good income. Not only that, God is opening ways for you to go abroad and make a better life. For some he is going, to open doors for them to do business. Yet again for some He is going to rejuvenate their business which have been in a fallen state, and thus help them to make a better living. For others He is going to open doors for them to do ministry and bless them do well in life. For the Bible says, Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things, and be in health just as your soul prospers. So God wants you to prosper you both spiritually and in the worldly aspect too. God will change all situations in favour of you which you go through in this life. Then everybody will begin to respect and honour you. You will walk with head lifted up with much honour.
Once you become rich and wealthy then you will not know how your debts disappeared from you. God is still doing something for you. He is trying to reduce your medical expense and stop all theft and robbery through which you had incurred great loss, and other unwanted expenditure, that you face on daily basis, so that your riches may not be squandered. He wishes that you retain your riches, and continue to grow wealthy. He does not want you to be stuck in poverty. He will destroy the swarming locusts, the consuming locusts, the crawling locusts, and the chewing locust which have eaten away all your revenue. God is going to let your cup overflow with blessings. Dear children of God hold on to this word, saying that, “Both riches and honour come of thee.” Say to the Lord, “I know that riches and wealth belong to You Oh Lord, therefore grant to me the riches and wealth with which I shall honour you.” The Bible says that ask and you shall receive. So ask the Lord to give you the riches and wealth. He will open the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessings that there will be no room to receive it.
The Lord says that Honour comes from Him. Until yesterday all would have thought very low about you. But hereafter all will respect you and honour you. The verse says, Riches and honour come from God. So firstly God will make you rich and then He will allow people to respect and honour you.
When the prophet Elisha asked the Shunamite woman, what she needed she told him that she had everything and that she lacked nothing. She said, “God has kept me as an honourable woman. So I have been blessed with all good things. God has not kept me in a poverty state of life, but as rich wealthy and honourable woman.” Are you being teased by others over your impoverished state of life? God is about to lift you up to an honourable position and admire at you. So never be discouraged in life. If you abide by His word He will crown you with riches, wealth and honour.
Prayer: Lord we thank You. I bless your children in the name of Jesus. Lord you said, that riches and wealth comes from You. I pray that You will bless all the children who are reading this message with riches, wealth, honour and prosperity. May God Himself descend upon them and open ways and means for them to enjoy such riches and wealth. May doors that are shut be opened for them to enjoy all wealth and riches. Open new job opportunities for them to make a better living. So that all the canker worms and swarming locusts, that are eating the wealth of the children may come to an end. Let their vessels overflow with blessings from above. May they prosper in all aspects of their life and thrive successfully. Help them to live a peaceful life with all wealth and riches.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved, I greet and bless you all in the matchless name of Jesus Christ, our maker, and creator who will never forget us. When God looks on you, you will receive blessings and elevation. When Jesus lived in this world, whomever He saw, received a miracle from him. Let us briefly meditate on a few such miracles.
Firstly, when Jesus saw Bartimaeus:
“Blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me ………. Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” (Mark 10:46 – 52).
In the above passage we observe that Bartimaeus was a blind beggar. As soon as he heard that Jesus was coming that way, he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David have mercy on me.” Many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out even more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”Then Jesus saw him and called him and healed Bartimaeus just as he believed. Till Jesus saw Bartimaeus, he was a blind beggar, but the moment Jesus saw him, he received the miracle of sight.
Are you waiting for a miracle in your life like Bartimaeus? Have you been borrowing money to sustain yourself? Cry out like Bartimaeus when God sees you, He won’t allow you to be dependent on anyone.
Even as you read this word, you and your family have come under the watchful eyes of God. He will not allow your creditors to abuse you at your doorstep. Just like He blessed Bartimaeus with sight and illuminated his life, God is bringing light into your life . Your life will bloom and blossom. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid, similarly you will no longer be hidden.
Secondly, when Jesus saw the demon possessed man:
“And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit………. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones……. once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine.” (Mark 5:2 – 20).
As we read the above verses, we see the demon possessed man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with chains. For he had often been bound with shackles and with chains, and he tore apart the chains and broke the shackles into pieces, and no one was strong enough to subdue and tame him. Night and day he was constantly screaming and shrieking among the tombs and on the mountains and cutting himself with sharpstones.But when Jesus came and saw him, perceiving that he was possessed with an evil spirit said, ““Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” Jesus asked, “What is your name?” And he replied, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” Jesus set the man free from the evil spirits. When Jesus saw this man who was possessed with many spirits, He delivered him. This man now sat down, clothed and in his right mind,publicly proclaiming all the great things that Jesus had done for him.
Today are you suffering from anxiety, witchcraft bondages, or evil spirits? God is declaring freedom and deliverance over your lives.
“Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth.” (Isaiah 43:19).
God will bless you according to this verse.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, Grant the desires of those who want your eyes to be on them, their family, their business, their ministry, their children and make all their plans succeed. Break every bondage, obliterate every obstacle, and heal every disease. Let Your children enjoy good health, strength, and long life. Let every spirit of depression, spirit of suicide and all the works of the wicked devil be destroyed in Jesus name, so that they can progress in life. Help them to repay all their loans and gather substantial leftovers. Open new doors of opportunity for Your children. Thank You for honouring them with new prospects. In Jesus name I 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 John 16:20, “Your Sorrow Will Be Turned Into Joy.”
Every one born in this world will go through some kind of sorrow in one way or the other. At such times you are struck with grief and sorrow. May be the disease in your body over a long period of time, could have caused sorrow to you. As a result some kind of sorrow has struck you and therefore you are forced to live in sorrow. You might have faced some kind of loss in your family. That would have caused great sorrow in your life. Some kind of financial loss must have caused you sorrow. Whatever sorrow you might have gone through or would have caused much struggle and pain in your life, there is one God who can erase all your sorrow from your life and bring joy to you. And about this joy that passes all understanding is being spoken through this message. That is why Jesus is saying “Your sorrow will be turned to joy.” It is true that you cried last night but in the morning comes joy, says the word of God. The Lord says, today you shall be filled with joy.
Our God is one who does miracles even during the night, before day breaks. May be you are sitting this morning weeping over the death of your beloved one, whom you must have loved very much. In order to compensate this tragedy God is going to perform a miracle by bringing about some good event in your family. We see in the life of Isaac, that the death of his mother had caused a great depression in him. He was struck with grief. He was immersed in sorrow because he was the son of her old age and now that she had gone he was very upset. He couldn’t bear the sorrow. He was shaken much by the death of his mother. Each time the thoughts about his mother came he would go out in the fields and would meditate on the word of God. God who saw, that Isaac was always filled with grief, and the thought of his mother always worried him a lot. God wanted to make him happy and help him overcome his sorrow. God performed a great miracle for him. One day after his meditation he lifted his head and saw at a distance camels coming towards him. The woman whom God had prepared for Isaac to be his wife dismounted from the camel. Abrahams servant, Eliezer had brought her home as he was instructed to look out for a girl from his own clan. She was a beautiful woman called Rebekah.
We see how Isaac, who was immersed in grief because of the loss of his mother, suddenly came in sight of the woman who was going to be his wife. She dismounted from the camel, and came towards him recognizing that he was going to be her master. Just imagine how happy Isaac would have been to see this beautiful woman all of a sudden. All his grief disappeared and he was filled with joy, in a moment of time. The Bible says, then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death. Thus God changed his sorrow into joy. Today also that God wants to change your sorrow into joy. By doing a miracle for you and allowing some good event to happen in your family. God has already decided to do that good thing for you. God is not like people, who lie; He is not a human who changes his mind. Whatever he promises, he does; He speaks, and it is done. Therefore what He says, He will do it for you without fail.
You must have suffered for one particular reason but in future you will rejoice over many good things that would happen in your life. Once a young man suffered over the death of his mother very much. The entire family was shaken by her death. He cried over the phone saying Brother we are unable to bear this grief. Then God spoke to him through me as prophesy saying soon God will do a miracle for you in such a way that all the members of your family will rejoice over the happening. And thus the sorrow of your family will become joyful. He had no children for almost 10 long years. So I told him that his wife will conceive and bring forth a child. God will open her womb and she will conceive. As I had said, his wife whose womb had been closed for ten long years conceived the very same month and she became pregnant. There was great joy in the family since she became pregnant. All of them, especially the in laws, and other relatives began to rejoice on hearing that she was in her family way. All of them who were in great sorrow over the death of the mother, suddenly seemed to have forgotten the sorrow and grief over the death of the mother. Instead, they all began to speak about the baby in the womb and the wife who was going to deliver the baby. There was a complete change in the midst of the family. Today the Lord is going to do a miracle for you. He is going to change your sorrowful situation into a joyful one. All your grief will soon disappear, because a happy event is going to happen in your family. So be cheerful. Your sorrow will be turned to joy.
Prayer: Lord we thank you. Lord I bless everyone who are reading this message, in the name of Jesus. Lord you have said, that you will change their sorrow into joy. Lord help the children to forget their grief because of the tragedy that has occurred in their life and may they think about the good things that are going to happen in their future and thus may they rejoice and praise the Lord. Do a miracle for them today and let their sorrow be turned into joy. Let all the good events that had been hindered for various reasons begin to take place in their life. Open doors and means for such things to happen in their families. Let all those who are immersed in sorrow begin to rejoice and live peacefully. Honour them and make them to be a name of praise.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
I greet and bless you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We hope, and pray that God will set all things well for you. God says, surely there is an end and your hope will not be lost. God has planned to do many good things in your life. Your desire will come to pass. The auspicious word of God that comes to you for today, is taken from the book of Lamentation 3:22,23. “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning, great is Your faithfulness.”
The Lord in this particular context says that we have been saved from destruction and calamity because of the grace of God. The grace of God are new every morning, says the word of God. So this morning we have been blessed with new mercies. Grace that governs you without being consumed. God does not want you to be destroyed or completely consumed by the calamities that you meet each day of your life. So He guards you by His mercies each day. He is laying upon you the mercies of God that will protect you from all danger and harm. He keeps his mercies upon you that you may not be consumed. He cares for you and your life. He wants you to enjoy a long life. Therefore he protects you daily through his mercies. In the past you may have suffered because of some distressing incident. Some kind of problem which has completely ruined your life. You think that you will be destroyed by this problem. No never, God will not allow anything to destroy you.
God is going to give you a fresh grace and mercies that you will not be consumed. He is holding you in his arms that you should come out of that problem which threatens your life. In that particular case, God wants to deliver you and bring you out of your struggle and save you from all your troubles in order that you may rejoice in God and sing praises to Him. God will help you to rise and shine. What is the problem that is nearing you to destroy your life? Which case has been filed against you by your enemy that you should suffer much and finally be destroyed. Who is troubling you? Who is trying to destroy your sleep and peace? To redeem you from that particular problem God is sending His special grace to protect you from all harm and danger.
God is granting you His grace from heaven through this auspicious word into your hearts, in order to save you from that problem and set you free from all your troubles. So that you will not be destroyed or consumed because of the problem that is continuously chasing you and threatening your life. God is saying that He will protect you. God is cancelling all the dangers that cause anxiety and fear in you. Thus He is redeeming your life. Not only that, the verse further says, there is no end to His mercies. Yes, today You are expecting mercy from God in some area of your life, On that day we see how a blind man Bartimaeus cried out to God to show him mercy. He knew very well that if God showed him mercy then his problem will be set right. He will receive his sight. That is why the blind man looked at Jesus and said, “Son of David have mercy on me.”
God who showed mercy to that blind beggar Bartimaeus is still showing mercy to all the children. Today is a day of miracle. He has come down to fulfil your expectation. God has plans for you to prosper and not to do evil. He has come to grant you peace and goodness. Every problem will come to an end. Your court case will also come to an end with positive results, and justice will be granted to you. Those who have falsely accused you will regret over their action. Since you are truly following the Lord and His word God will turn every negative situation favourable to you. God will deliver you from all your difficult situations and help you live a life of peace and harmony.
Prayer: Lord we thank you. Lord I bless all the children who are reading this message in the name of Jesus. For those children who are crying with fear whether they would die, because of the disaster or the calamity they are going through, God is comforting them all through His mercies. So that they who have fallen will strengthen themselves and rise up again and establish their life in this world. They will rejuvenate their energy and bloom once again, by taking root from deep inside. I pray that they will discard all their faithlessness and increase their faith. Make their name to be of praise and fame before their enemies. Let them rise and shine before those people who endanger their lives. Lord you said that there is no end to your mercies. May the mercy of God bring about a miracle in their life. Let them live. Help them to live their full life. I pray that the Lord continue to pour His mercies upon them and do great and mighty things for them.
In Jesus Name We pray.
Amen.
