My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of Isaiah 33:20, “Look on Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved; its stakes will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes broken”.
From the above context, we learn that God will enable you to see Zion or Jerusalem as a beautiful abode and your family as a peaceful dwelling or resting place. The stakes will never be pulled up, which means that your family will be knit together, and will not be easily broken, or destroyed. We see how couples after a few years of marriage go for divorce but the children of God will remain united, their families will be unbreakable. Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not curse the people of God but turned his face toward the wilderness and when Balaam looked out and saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came on him and he spoke his message: “How beautiful are your tents, Jacob, your dwelling places, Israel! He compares the tents of Israel gathered below the mountains as valleys spread out, and like gardens beside a river, like aloes planted by the Lord, like cedars beside the waters.
This is the picture of a real family of the children of God, our houses should be like rivers flowing with water and our land all over must be green and fertile revealing the blessings of God. Such dwelling place will not be easily destroyed. But we find people targeting families. They will say, “Don’t mess up with me, I will destroy you and your family”. They think they can destroy other families and live peacefully. Such people who plan to destroy other families will never live happily or peacefully. They will threaten and frighten you always saying, that they will even kill your children, but you must remember that you are children of God and Jesus Christ the Rock is inside of you. When you truly believe in the Lord Jesus Christ no one can stand against you. The Bible says, ‘If God is on my side then who can stand against me?’’ Those who hit upon this rock will be hurt themselves.
Therefore as children of God, you too should not speak any negative thing, against anyone You should not speak such harsh words of warning against others. So that you in turn, will not face any such situation in your life. You have no right to harm or destroy others. When God allowed Satan to test Job, He said, “Do what you like, but do not lay hands on Job’s life”. Therefore never hatch plot to harm others or destroy someone. Let us ask God to enable us to live in peace. Let peace be within our walls and prosperity within our palaces. Let our sons in their youth be like well-nurtured plants, and our daughters be like pillars carved to adorn a palace. Our barns will be filled with every kind of provision. Our sheep will increase by thousands, by tens of thousands in our fields; our oxen will draw heavy loads. There will be no breaching of walls, no going into captivity, no cry of distress in our streets. Blessed is the people of whom this is true; blessed is the people whose God is the Lord. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving Heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, we thank You for showing us, how the house of God’s children should be. Teach us to be wise and never to speak ill about others. To do good and not evil. Lord enable us to live in peace far from the wayward people. Let us maintain peace with one and all.
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 that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of Numbers 23:23 “There is no sorcery against Jacob, no divination against Israel. It will now be said of Jacob and of Israel, `See what God has done!’”
From the above context, we learn that God has risen in the midst of your families to guard you and protect you from evil people and those who dislike you because God knows that you are surrounded by many enemies, both from within the families and from those outsides. The Lord is looking at each one of you and is telling that the Spirit of the Lord is descending upon each one of your families directly so that your family will not be shattered. The Bible says, your enemies who come against you through one way will escape through seven others ways, they will fall but you shall rise and stand straight. Hallelujah!
Today many Christians perform witchcraft, against their own brothers and sisters. They take joy in destroying the harmony of their dear ones not realizing that what they do will return on their own head or affect their own children. Sometimes they set their hearts on their properties, it may be their ancestral property so to obtain the property of their own brother or sister they go to the extent of doing any amount of wrong. They engage themselves in all kinds of cheap things. For this, they do witchcraft and black magic, and sorcery. But the Bible says, There is no sorcery againstJacob, no divination against Israel. It will now be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘See what God has done!’ and since you belong to Jesus and because the Lord has covered you and your family by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, no weapon formed against you shall prosper.
In the Bible, we see an incident where Balak invites Balaam to curse the people of Israel. But Balaam knows very well that all his enchantments and divinations signified nothing, and would never prevail to bring a curse upon Israel; it was a vain thing for him to use them, and it was a vain attempt for Balak to expect anything from them; for neither Balaam nor any other enchanter and soothsayer, who were masters in using all the arts could ever do anything to hurt such a people who were under the special care of God. Thus, we see through this incident that the children of God are safe in His hands, as God has put a hedge of protection over His children. People will then say, with wonder and amazement, what great things has God done for these people! By bringing them out of the land of Egypt, leading them through the Red sea, feeding and supplying them in the wilderness, protecting them from their enemies there, expelling the inhabitants of the land of Canaan, and setting them there in their stead. Similarly, I would like to remind you of all the good things that God has done for you in your life, right from your birth the Lord has led you thus far with good health, education, job, life partner, good children, and happiness, and don’t you think all this will be a matter of admiration. So, give glory to God for His kindness towards you and your family. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving Heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, we thank You for protecting us from the hands of our enemies. Thank You Father for encouraging us by saying that no weapon formed against us will prosper and that You have covered us by Your precious blood. We believe that You will change our curse if any into a blessing. Let not our family be shattered. May we enjoy peace and harmony in our family.
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 Proverbs 12:7.”The Wicked Are Over Thrown And They Are No More. But The House Of the Righteous, Stands Firm.”
From the above verse the Lord says that the house of the righteous, who walk in truth and is faithful to God will stand firm. But the house of the wicked and unrighteous person will be over thrown and will be destroyed. So it is necessary that we should be righteous before God. Where people stand before God makes all the difference in this life and the next, this proverb seems to be stressing. The people who reject God and His ways, who go about their business with no regard of Him, are said here to be overthrown completely. They have no sure future, no way. What surety do they have if God can call them to account at anytime? No one knows the hour of their death, and there is only judgment awaiting the lost.
But the righteous household has no fear of dangers that might befall it. The righteous person’s surety is in God, and they will stand regardless of whatever happens.
If you have committed yourself, to grow into the kind of person that God wants you to be, then you will flourish like the palm tree. And will grow like the Cedar of Lebanon. If you have submitted to live a righteous life then you can boldly say, My House will stand firm. My Family will stand firm. The Words of the Lord will never fail. The Lord is telling as prophesy that your house which has been shaken will be made to stand. Your business that has been shaken during Corona period will again be made to stand firm. You might have lost everything but you have not lost Jesus Christ. So you are safe. But if you have lost Jesus Himself because of your unbelief then you are bound to lose all that is left over. So take care never to give room for disbelief . You might have bought a house but because of lockdown you would have lost your job, as a result you could not pay your dues. So the owner of the house would auction your house. All your goods would have come for auction. All the jewels that you had pledged in the bank would have come for auction. But the Lord says, Believe on Me I will open new doors for you to survive. I will open new ways for your livelihood. I will help you with ways and means for you to redeem all that you had lost in your life. Trust in Jesus then You will shine.
The house of the righteous will stand: God will preserve His own righteous men and women. They and their house will endure that which would overthrow the house of the wicked. A man may sometimes do a good work with one good word. God’s blessing is often continued to the families of godly men, while the wicked are overthrown. He that lives in a humble state, and who has no one to support him, but gets bread by his own labour, is happier than he that glories in high birth or gay attire. God who promised that He will provide a house for David will also provide a house for you, because you totally depend upon Him. The Lord God who is our helper called Ebenezer is with us, and is also with you, at times of struggles. So don’t lose heart. He will open new doors for you to flourish. In case you have more than necessary then give it others. Don’t fail to help someone in need because he might die and never return the next day to receive from you. God will be pleased with such people because the Bible says, and let our people also learn to maintain good works. To meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful.
Your preservation and prosperity, and that of your family – depends on your righteousness. For the righteous man and his family will endure, in this world and the next, because God, men, and nature are on his side. May the Lord help you to live a righteous life and gain the appreciation of God rather involve in wickedness and die in sin and shame. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord help us to see better days in our life. We have suffered enough during lockdown period. We have lost all that we had earned through hard work. We promise to trust in You Lord. Please be with us and make our life prosperous. May we lead a Righteous life and not involve in wicked ways that would displease you. Be our Ebenezer in our life. Grant us house to live and secure a job to manage our livelihood. Help us to dwell in a peaceful habitation, and in quiet resting places.
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 that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of 2 Chronicles 7:14“ If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
From the above context, we learn that God has risen in the midst of His people to shower His richest blessing. God says, “ If My people who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face then I will bring healing to their land”. After Solomon dedicated the temple, the Lord appeared to him and gave him some warnings and reassurances. “The Lord appeared to him at night and said: ‘I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a temple for sacrifices.’ When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land”. In the past, we have seen how the people of Israel often backslid and engaged themselves in wicked ways. God would be angry with them and He would punish them and from time to time, God would send judgment upon the land in the form of drought, locusts, or pestilence.
God warned king Solomon, He said, “But if you turn away and forsake the decrees and commands I have given you then I will uproot Israel from my land, and I will reject this temple also. I will make it a byword and an object of ridicule among all peoples. This temple will become a heap of rubble, all who pass by will be appalled and say, ‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’ People will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who brought them out of Egypt, that is why He brought all this disaster on them’”. Solomon recognized this warning as a reiteration of God, who made a covenant with Israel and promised to take care of them and cause them to prosper as long as they obeyed Him. He also promised to bring curses upon them if they failed to obey and if they disobey, they will be judged.
The judgment is meant to bring Israel to repentance, and God assures Solomon that, if they will be humble, pray, and repent, then God will deliver them from judgment. This is a promise not only to ancient Israel but also to us who are called the children of God, that if we will repent and return to the Lord, He will rescue us from all our problems. Those who call upon His name and humble themselves, pray, seek God’s face, and repent, then God will heal their land, there will be moral and political healing as well as economic healing. May the Lord help you to fear God and obey His commandments, for then you will receive the shower of blessing and the Lord will heal your land. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, we thank you for speaking to Solomon and telling him how the people ought to be. If the people will obey the commandment of God then they will be blessed. But if they disobey then they will be judged. Help us also to obey Your word and walk in Your ways. Teach us to humble ourselves, pray, seek Your face, and repent, so that You will heal our land.
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 40:29, ”He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.”
From the above context we learn that God gives power to those who are very weak and increases the strength of those who have no might. Weakness is a special weapon that the devil uses to spoil the lives of the children of God. Weakness is a tool which the devil instils in the lives of the children of God, that they do not advance in their life, and therefore they cannot be victorious too. When a man becomes weak he cannot work properly and neither can he concentrate on anything in particular. He falls into depression. His heart is pushed towards weakness; He loses his health and even his trust on himself. As a result he becomes sick that leads to severe disease. He loses all his sleep. The Lord wants to strengthen those of you who are weak and heavy laden. God wants to give strength to all those who are weak.
The strength of a person is not in the body but in the heart of a person. When the heart grows weary then the person does not feel like eating or drinking. He is engrossed in his worries, so he is not able to enjoy anything around him. He doesn’t even feel like talking to someone. Weakness cripples a man from all his activities. The organs in his body fail to cooperate with him. They will not be able to do anything. In some families they would have lost their dear one in their family, as a result they would be filled with sorrow. Relatives might comfort them and ask them to eat and drink something so as to keep their body healthy. But they wouldn’t listen to them because of the sorrow they go through. They will not have an appetite to eat anything. Instead they would cry out their sorrows. They would think as to, what is the next step they have to take. Or how will they be able to bring up their children, having lost their husband. These are the fears that would keep troubling them at that particular time. Worries will encroach their mind, and they will think of the struggles they would have to go through in the future. That is the time when they will lose their faith in God. But children of God should be careful during such times. They should not shift their faith on anything else but the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says, Cast all your burden upon the Lord Jesus Christ, And He will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.
God says that He gives power to those who are very weak and increases the strength to those who have no might. He refers to the spiritual weakness of the person. The Lord not only wants to stabilize the physical weakness of your body but also wants to stabilize the weakness of your spiritual life. Once a spiritual life of a person, becomes weak, then his prayer life gets hindered. They will not be able to pray properly. They will not like to meet others or speak with others. They will look as if they have been shattered in life and have no interest in anything whatsoever. Today Jesus is going to give strength, to such depressed and sorrowful people. God will give you strength to regain stability in life. That they may focus on their future, and carry on their regular or routine chores In life. How will God strengthen them? He will make some alternative for the thing that they have lost in their life and, make them joyful in life. We read about Isaac. He was the son of Abraham. He was born when Abraham was 100 years old. He was thus the son of his old age. His mother was fond of him. He too loved her much. But she died and she did not see the marriage of her son. Isaac was filled with grief. He couldn’t bear the loss of his mother Sarah.
Abraham was worried about his son Isaac. He sent his servant Eliezar to his own people to select a bride for his son. But Isaac went to the fields to meditate on the word of God during the evening time. He remembered the past memories of his mother and was kindled with grief all the more. On one such evening he saw camels coming towards his tent. Eliezer had found a beautiful bride for him and she mounted from the camel, on seeing Isaac. Isaac was filled with great joy. The Bible says,”And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening; and he lifted his eyes and looked, and there, the camels were coming. Then Rebekah lifted her eyes, and when she saw Isaac she dismounted from her camel; for she had said to the servant, “Who is this man walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” So she took a veil and covered herself. And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done. 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. God substituted Rebekah in the place of Sarah his mother. God will do the same for you also. God will grant you, peace and joy in your life when you meditate on the word of God as Isaac meditated every day in the evening, to forget his sorrow. God will change your sorrow into joy. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for giving power to the weak and increasing the strength of those who have no might. Help us not to become weak physically or spiritually. May we be strong and sturdy in life so that we may not fall in depression or give up our prayer life. Teach us to be healthy in mind and body even when we go through hard times. Give us strength to overcome all the difficulties that we face in our day to day life. Grant us peace and joy.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
