Dear Beloved , I greet and bless each and every one of you, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Creator and Maker and ever unforgettable God. The Blessed word that God has given for you today is from the Book of James 1:17, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above. And comes down from the Father of Lights, with whom there is no variation, or shadow of turning.”
From the above words we learn that every gift which we receive is from God, who shows no partiality. You are blessed with many good gifts every day of your life, which you may not realize. The Bible says. God loads us daily with many benefits. God blesses His children with several gifts. Almost every day we experience the blessings of God, in one way or the other. Count your many Blessings and see what God has done for you. He has blessed you with good family, Father, Mother, Brothers and Sisters. Isn’t it a great Blessing ? Many in this world have no parents. They have no one to take care of them. They take refuge in the orphanage homes. Likewise many couples, have no children to love them. So you need to be grateful to God for having blessed you with good family. God has blessed you with good education, good job, good spouse, good children , wealth and above all good health. Unless God blesses you, You cannot be blessed.
The word gift denotes the act of giving. The emphasis is on the giver. God who gives gifts is the author of every good gift. Whatever is good is from God. Whether of nature, providence or grace, or any spiritual blessings, is from God. Every such gift that comes from God, is the best gift, and is perfect. Such gifts are Salvation, Righteousness, Forgiveness Of sin, and Eternal life.
Have you received the gift of forgiveness of all your wrong deeds. If not you please ask God to forgive your sins. The Bible says, If your sins are as dark as scarlet God will make them white as snow. Cleansing of our sin is also considered as a gift from God. The sun, the moon, and the stars, are all considered as gifts of God. The air we breathe and the water that we drink are gifts of God. And God being the Father of lights, there is no darkness in Him. He is the fountain of Lights. The Bible says, that all those who looked at the face of God became radiant. Similarly those who are struggling in the darkness are brought to light through our Lord Jesus Christ. Privately given gifts pacify wrath, and payments made secretly appease great anger. So however it may be, gifts play an important role in the life of a person. But one must remember that every gift and perfect gift comes down from the Father of Lights. God Bless You.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for all the gifts you bestow upon us, each day of our life. Help us to be careful and grateful for all the gifts you provide. Teach us to realize that every gift is not because of our own effort but they come from God the Father of Lights. Help us to understand the value of all the gifts and make use of it in the best possible way.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
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 51:22, “Thus said your Lord the LORD, and your God that pleads the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; you shall no more drink it again:”
From the above context we come to know that God is able to change your troubled situation for your goodness. Thus says the Lord, the Lord and thy God. He who is Lord of all, the eternal Jehovah, who can do all things, and who is the covenant God of his people, and will do all things he has purposed and promised, and which are for their good and his glory; May be you are troubled by your relatives. Your uncle or aunty. Your own siblings. Your Boss, Your neighbour, someone very close to you, might have cheated you in some way or other. Therefore you are worried, you are weeping over your current situation. They have put you to shame. They have ridiculed you. But the Lord who wants to do good to you and pleads the cause of his children says, I will take the cup of trembling from your hands and put it on your enemy who has troubled you thus far. God was waiting patiently until this moment. But hereafter He is not going to see you cry or weep over your troubled situation. He wants to help you. He wants to refresh your soul and your mind. He wants to save you permanently from the hands of those who troubled you.
God is going to show favour to you since you trusted in Him for all your needs. You had been honest in your dealings with others so he will turn your sorrow into joy and instead he will put the cup of trouble into those hands who troubled you so long. God changed the evil that came upon Job, for his good purpose. The Lord restored Job’s losses and gave him twice as much as he had before for he is a God who saves the needy from the mouth of the sword and saves them from the clutches of the powerful. Once a sister came for prayer to me. She was falsely accused and she was about to be arrested. She was much scared and worried over the situation. So I prayed for her sincerely, that she should come out of this troubled situation without any difficulty. God brought a great change in her life. God said, as prophesy that there will be an elevation in her life, and through her God’s name will be glorified. After some days, I came to know that the very person who put her to shame, and disgraced her and had cunningly trapped her into this situation, was himself arrested, and sentenced to prison. Hallelujah!
The Bible says, See “I have taken out of your hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; you shall no more drink it again:” But I will put it into the hands of those who afflict you. According to this promise of God, the man who troubled her was punished. Thus God will change the evil for your goodness. God does not know to do evil. God wants to fill your house with good things. The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to others but you will not borrow from anyone. You will be the head and not the tail. The Lord upholds all those who fall and rises up all those who are bowed down. Keeping this promise of God in mind, we too should not trouble others are cause injustice to others. Blessed are the people whose God is the LORD. And happy are they who have God Jehovah for their help. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, We thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank you for changing our troubled situation for the good of our lives. We can’t imagine your greatness O Lord. You change even the evil circumstances which are caused by our enemies, for our own wellbeing. You are altogether lovely. You are awesome and you do wonders beyond numbers. Protect us from the hands of evil people and help us to be victorious.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
My Dearly beloved in Christ, 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 Psalms 119:9 , “How can a Man Cleanse His Ways? By taking heed to God’s word.”
My Dear children of God, from the above context we understand that we can keep ourselves clean by seeking God with all our heart. David said, to the Lord , “I seek You with all my heart.”He sought God and found Him. David was a man who loved the Lord. He says, One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek. That I may dwell in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life. To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in the temple. David thus sought God and found Him.
We need to desire Him, want Him, Need Him above anything else, every other desire, want or need. We need to love the Lord God, with all our heart, with all our soul and mind. We must keep our heart, pure, by hiding God’s word in our heart. Memorize many verses from the word of God. Then the Holy Spirit will bring it to your remembrance when you are in need of it. Then you will be comforted, corrected, and guided by the Holy Spirit.
When God’s word is hidden in your heart, praises come out of it. When God’s word is hidden in your heart, you speak of God and His word. When God’s word is hidden in you, rejoicing flows out of you.
God wants you to live a pure life because, by doing so it glorifies God. It honours him. Not simply morality being nice, But pleasing God because you love Him and want to honour Him. God expects you to live according to His word. To seek Him with all your heart and to meditate on the precepts of God.
My Dear children of God, If you follow these principles in your life God will be pleased with you. You will be triumphant in your Christian life. You will receive the reward at the end of your journey. And during your journey in this life you might go through trials and troubles when you walk faithfully with God. But If you continue to walk faithfully with God and stand for His good cause, and maintain a good relationship with God throughout your life span then you will receive a crown of Glory. May God help you to follow these principles and cleanse yourself by the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ? Make an effort to be pure and holy. David says, Behold I was brought forth in iniquity. And in Sin my mother conceived me. Purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean. Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for revealing the truth to us. That we need to be holy and pure. Wash us thoroughly with Your precious blood. Though our sins be like scarlet make them white as snow.
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 Isaiah 60:15, “Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, So that no one went through you, I will make you an external excellence. A joy of many generation. ”
Dearly Beloved, God is saying that you have been despised and rejected by all. No one likes you at your work spot; No one likes you in the place where you do your ministry. Even in the place of your study no one likes you. Those who see you go away from you. One of the reasons may be because you don’t look beautiful. Or you may not be admirable in the sight of others with regards to your style of dressing. Or you may be because of your dark complexion, you don’t look so appealing, your poor appearance may be another reason for others to dislike you. Even your simple way of talking without much exaggeration, might cause others to dislike you. You may be frank of speech, but others may not like your frankness. Somehow you have been ignored by all.
The Bible says, that when Jacob returned to his father’s home in Canaan from his uncle’s house after 20 years, with his wife and children and all his cattle, servants and all his goods he was rather scared to meet his brother Esau whom he had cheated and got, not only his birthright but also all the blessings from his father . Now in order to pacify his brother he sent all his wives and children and cattle and servants and also much gifts to soften his brothers heart towards him. He was left alone by the side of river Jordan. He was all alone, there was no one to comfort or console him. His wives, his children and even all his servants were on the other side of the river. He was left alone to meet the consequence of his life. So God in his mercy came down to comfort him as Jacob was struggling by himself, that night. God had already promised to be with him on his way to Canaan. God came and sat near Jacob. Halleluiah! So Jacob held on to God and would not let Him go, until He blessed him. He wanted God to bless and assure him, that he will be safe and that God’s hand of protection will be with him and his brother will not harm him in anyway. Jacob also sent word to his brother, saying “I have sojourned with Laban and stayed there until now. I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, and male and female, servants, and I request my Lord that I might find favour in your sight.”Though he had sent word to his brother through his servants yet he feared that his brother would take revenge and kill him so he was afraid to meet him. Therefore he pleaded God to bless him. He said to the Lord, “Deliver me I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him, least he come and attack me and the mother with the children.” And God in the form of man wrestled with him until the breaking of day, until the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint. God blessed Jacob.
As a result of the blessing of God, the next day his meeting with his brother turned out to be favourable. Esau embraced him and kissed him to express his joy and love for his brother Jacob. Thus we see the reunion of the brothers. They did not fight or quarrel with each other. They did not hit each other, rather embraced each other and shared their love for one another. God changed the mind of Esau towards Jacob and he had not only forgiven but also had forgotten the incident that happened several years ago. Are you left in such a situation, neglected by all your dear ones. Have they deserted you. Are you alone? Struggling to yourself? Never mind, God is in control of your life. Think it is good for you. Take the situation in a positive attitude, since you have the mighty God with you. Never fear He is with you. This is an occasion for you to be with God. Cast all your burden upon God. He will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved. Humanly speaking it is a painful thing to be rejected and left alone. Paul told God three times, to remove the thorn from his body, but God did not say he will take away the thorn instead he said, “My grace is sufficient for you. For My strength is made perfect in your weakness.” God knows what is best for you. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, we thank you for being with Jacob in his journey back to his father’s house. Lord we thank you for changing the mind set of Esau towards his brother Jacob. Thank You Father for helping them to reunite amicably. May we not take revenge against those who do evil to us. Give us the spirit of forgiveness. Let there be joy and happiness in our families.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
My Dear Brother and Sister 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 Luke 5:5, “But Simon answered and said, to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing , nevertheless at Your Word, I will let down the net.”
My Dear Brother And Sister, From the above context we see how Peter went out fishing. Jesus got into the boat of Simon Peter, and sat down and began to teach the multitude from the boat. After he had stopped speaking to the multitude he looked at Peter and said, “Launch out into the deep. And let down your nets for a catch.”But then Simon said to Jesus,“Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing , nevertheless at Your Word, I will let down the net.” And when they had done this they caught a great number of fish. And their net was breaking. So they called the men in the neighbouring boat, to come and help them. And they filled both the boats, and they were almost sinking. Peter couldn’t believe his eyes. He immediately fell down at Jesus’ knees. For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken.
My Dear Brother And Sister, Alone we may not receive victory but with Jesus we have victory. Peter obeyed Jesus and so he was blessed. That is why apostle Paul says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. “ Though Peter was an expert in fishing yet he couldn’t catch any fish, even though he tried the entire night to catch fish in the deep sea. But the moment he obeyed Jesus, he found a good catch. God is looking at you and saying, are you going through great loss in your business, or in your financial situation, are you paying the workers from your purse? Are you unable to pay your rent, are you worried that you couldn’t catch anything like Peter? God says, you will catch. You will find. Don’t be worried. The Blessing of the Lord will surely descend upon you if you will only obey His word and live according to His commandments.
My Dear Brother And Sister, On that day when Peter went to catch fish, he returned as a failure. But the next morning with the blessings of God and with the counsel of God, he threw the net where Jesus had directed him to throw, and he caught great many fish. Jesus turned his failure into success. The Bible says, The young lions do lack and hunger but they that seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. God does not withhold any good thing from those who walk uprightly. Let not the book of law depart from your mouth. But you shall meditate in it day and night, and observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, thank You for teaching us not to be like Peter who went away from God. But to be drawn close to God. Teach us to listen to the voice of God and walk according to His word. May we realize the importance of being with God and be directed by Him in all our ways, so that we may inherit His blessings.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
