My Dearly beloved, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you on this Good Friday is from the book of Isaiah 53:5 “ But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him. And by His stripes we are healed.”
From the above context we learn that Jesus was wounded for our transgressions. The Bible says, For He made Him who knew no sin, to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. When he was hated, he did not hate back in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. Jesus did not die on the cross, for any sins of His own, but for our sins. For our rebellious nature against God. These were the procuring and meritorious causes of His sufferings and death. His sufferings and especially His being wounded to death and by bearing the sins of His people He removed the guilt, from them, and freed them from the punishment due unto them.
My Dearly beloved, Jesus was bruised for our iniquities. To be bruised, is to be broken to pieces, completely. Or to be crushed. Jesus was crushed to the core for the sins of all mankind. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him. “’The chastisement for our peace’’ means, the chastisement by which our peace is effected or secured was laid upon Him. He took it upon Himself and bore it in order that we might have peace.
With His stripes –indicates the mark or scars, on the skin or body of Jesus are described through different words such as wounds, stripes, weal, bruises, hurt, blueness etc. These scars, would be caused because of being beaten or scourged and this was applicable to Jesus. Isaiah predicted seven hundred years before, that Jesus would be scourged. This prediction furnishes the fullest demonstration that the prophet was inspired by the Holy Ghost. He has mentioned as if he had seen, what was going to happen to Jesus.
That is why He says, ’By His Stripes we are healed’. We are healed –by this we mean that By His death on the cross, healing has happened to us. The healing referred to is the spiritual healing or healing from sin, pardon from sin and restoration to the favour of God. The Bible therefore says, “Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases.”The idea is that the Messiah would be scourged and by that scourging health would be imparted to our souls.
We see that the sufferings of Jesus the Redeemer, on behalf of all mankind, is adapted to save the world. And will in fact arrest, reclaim, and redeem, all who shall enter into heaven. Are you prepared for the eternal life? Then receive Jesus as your personal Saviour, a good friend, a shepherd, a comforter, a King and so on. He died for you that You might reign with Him forever. Will you receive Him as you are. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we know that we have healing through your stripes. You took the pain and relieved us from all stress and strain. By your death we have life eternal. While we were yet sinners You died for us. You humbled yourself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Help us to be faithful to the very end, to live a life for Jesus alone.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word for today is from the book of 2 Kings,20:5, “I have heard your prayer and seen your tears, I will heal you.”
In the Bible, we can see that many years ago Zacharia and Elizabeth asked the Lord for a child. But there was no response from God so they stopped asking God for a child as they had grown too old. But the Lord remembered their prayer request. There came a day when God sent an angel and told Zachariah that “Do not be afraid, your wife shall conceive and bring forth a son and he should be named John”. This incident shows that the Lord will not forget our prayer request or leave it unnoticed that we had asked for in our past. You would have asked for many requests and would have also got tired of asking but today the Lord is telling you that your request has been heard “Well, I have heard your prayer”. This means that the time has come for the Lord to answer your prayer requests.
My dear children of God, some might say, we have become too old to conceive. And so, they may be in tears. It is the Lord who gives a child. He blessed the old couple Zachariah and Elizabeth after they were too old to conceive. Will, He not perform a miracle for you? Today the Lord will bless you too with a child as He looks unto you and says, “I have heard your prayer.”
Secondly, He says, “I have seen your tears”. Many times, we see, that nobody is bothered about the tears we shed. No one can understand, the tears which you shed out of pain. People would have hurt you in many ways. But when God looks at your tears, He knows the pain you are going through. Since He has seen your tears, He will change your crying into laughter. God will perform a miracle in all that you thought and cried about and will turn it into laughter.
Thirdly, the Lord promises to heal you of your disease. You could have been affected by any severe disease. But it is a simple matter for the Lord to heal the disease. You need not fear the disease, it may even be a disease unto death. Believe that God can heal the disease and you shall see the glory of God. Today the Lord will perform a miracle for you in your life.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, respond to all the prayer requests that your children have requested. Give those good gifts, that my children have not yet received yet. Let many auspicious events take place in their families, in their homes. Open the womb of many women who are childless and make them the happy mother of the home. Cause them to see wonders and let miracles happen in such a way so as to turn their tears into laughter. Not only that, you said you will heal their disease. So whatever disease they may suffer from, Lord heal them completely. As they are reading this message, let the divine power of God pass through them. I thank you, Lord, for giving them divine healing and divine deliverance.
Amen.
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Blessed word for today, is from the book of Psalms 91:4, “He will cover you with his fingers and under His wings, you will find refuge.”
In this verse, God says that He will cover you with his feathers. You might have known that to protect the chickens from the eagles and vultures, the hen spreads its wings and protects the chicks from such harmful birds. The hen covers the chicks so they will not be visible to the eagle or the vultures flying high above the sky. So, the chicks under the mother hen will be safe until they are grown to a mature state where they can take care of themselves.
Likewise, the Lord will protect His children from the hands of the devil and his cruel plans. The Bible says ‘the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour’ he wants to destroy the people and pluck them from God’s hand, he makes every effort to destroy the peace of the children of God. So, God protects His children under the feathers of His mighty wings. It is to save you from the hands of the devil and also from the eyes of evil people who plan to destroy you and your family. The Bible says, “The Devil came to steal and to destroy, but God came to give us life and life more abundant.” God wants to protect you, guard you and keep you safe. Today trust in the Lord, lean on Him and He will shield and lead you in His divine way. My dear children of God remember God is your source of safety at all times , call upon Him and He will sustain you.
God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, You said that you will cover us with your wings. Now all of us have come under your wings for shelter. Please grant us protection, protect us from any harm that might come to destroy our family peace. We pray for Your divine leading in all that we do, protect us from the the evil one. Help us to always find shelter under Your wings.
In Jesus Name We pray.
Amen.
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word for today is from the book of Romans 16:20, “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.”
The Bible says, that God will make you crush Satan under your feet. Many times, the plans and cunning tricks of the devil stood against you. So, you were not able to inherit the blessings of the Lord, as witchcraft and black magic, rose against you and therefore, you couldn’t advance in your life to a higher level for which you eagerly longed. As a result, you were not able to achieve anything in the way you were supposed to. But now, the Lord will crush all the witchcraft, and tricks that were against you, your family, your business, your ministry, and all that concerns you. All the evil works that hindered the auspicious events, to take place in your family, will be crushed under your feet and God will give you deliverance, and cause you to shine wonderfullyAs you claim this verse today, all the spirits of opposition will get out of you and the Lord has kept an open gate before you that you may enjoy your life without fear of Satan and his cunning plans.
Moreover, the Lord will help you to advance ahead and accomplish your achievements without any difficulty. Then it will be easy for you to run towards your goal which is set for you happily and peacefully.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, you crushed all the evil plans and tricks of the devil that hindered us from advancing, under your feet. We thank You for destroying the works of the devil, and you will not let them rise up again. None of those who rise up again will oppress my children. No harm should befall them. We thank you for keeping an open door for my children so that they may quickly advance in their life. May they be able to come out of all these challenges which they are facing all these years and enable them to lead a quiet and peaceful life. Help them to shine in their life.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
We read in 1 Peter 1:18-19, “For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors. but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect”. It was the blood of Jesus Christ that paid for the sins of the whole world.His blood washes away our sins that has painted our lives, and that has separated us from God. This separation only leads us to a path of destruction but Jesus came for us, He died on the cross for us, shed His precious blood for us, and paid the price so that we will be saved and to reach eternal life. For us to receive a bright future and to be called the children of God, God cleansed us with His precious blood.
He poured out His blood, “Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”(Mathew 26:27,28).
“The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7). Jesus shed the last drop of His blood for us on the cross. Blood was oozing from each of His wounds.
In the old testament the sons of Aaron after sacrificing the goats and bull would bring the blood of these sacrificed animals to Aaron in a vessel. Aaron dipped his finger in the blood, put it on the horns of the altar, and poured the blood at the base of the altar (Leviticus 9:9). In the same way when you apply the blood of Jesus on the windows and doorposts of your house, the angel of death, sickness, poverty, and witchcraft cannot enter your homes. Then people will exclaim at us saying, “Who are these who stand so victoriously.” And others will reply, “They are those who are washed in the blood of the lamb.” Let us gratefully remember the struggles and sacrifices of our Lord our entire life and acknowledge the power in His blood that was shed for us. Let us pray.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, you shed your blood on the cross for us and died and rose again on the third day – for this we thank you. Lord, you poured out your love, tears, and blood on your children who are reading this message. We are saved because you shed until the last drop of your blood. Your holy blood delivered us from all sin and curse. We surrender ourselves into thy Hands.
In Jesus name.
Amen!
