Nahum 1:7 “The Lord is Good. A stronghold in the day of trouble.”
My 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 Nahum 1:7 “The Lord is Good. A stronghold in the day of trouble.”
We all know that God is good. And no one can deny that He is good. Jesus is coming to your house today as a stronghold to save you from all difficult situations, during the period of affliction. We see that everyone has to go through affliction daily in their life, in some way or another. God said, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.” Actually, when difficult times come people forget God. They take all kinds of effort and precautions to manage their difficult situations, But the first and foremost thing you need to do is to call upon the name of the Lord. When you call Him in times of trouble He will come and stand for you.
In the past, you came across several problems hardships and afflictions. You might have met some accidents or the creditors might have troubled you with regarding your debts. Or you might have been troubled due to unnecessary friendship. You might have been caught up in some unwanted cases. All these are like tight corner situations. Many would have pushed you into such terrible situations and they would have escaped or absconded. But the Lord will come over to you, as a stronghold, to support, you in your hard times. So, what you need to do is to look up to God and call upon His name for help. If any of the bitter situations you are in is caused by you then you should confess to God, that you got caught in trouble due to your own mistake. And ask Him to help you come out of that horrible situation. Tell Him “Lord only You can help us out of this situation”. When you ask God for help, then God will come and rescue you from your troubles. He is a good God. There is another verse that says, “Taste and see that the Lord is good”. He will reveal Himself as a good God. He will change every difficult situation favorable to you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, deliver my children from all the difficult situations they are caught into. Lord, you said that you will be our stronghold. In times of trouble. You said that you are a tower of protection that surrounds us. So, all these days my children were not protected by your tower hence they had to face many problems, pain, agony, and sufferings in their life. Since they were not protected by your strong tower, they had been attacked by satan, and pushed into several problems. As a result, they are dejected and pained at heart. Today, Lord, you protect them from all the weapons that are targeted against them, and save them and rescue them so that they may live a safe and peaceful life.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
My Dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. In these present times, it is crucial that we pray for this decaying world. There is a revival in families and countries only due to prayer. Satan will bring many hindrances to your prayer life. He will try to obstruct you from praying, but our prayers can block him.
We must become strong prayer warriors. Then you will find favor with the Lord. We spend 24 hours a day – eating, sleeping, and working. But how much time do we spend praying? Are you saying – “there is no such specific time”? Our Lord looks at us today and asks, “Could you not stay awake and pray even for one hour? (Mathew 26:40). How can we forget – With what great burden He interceded for us? Only when we face difficulties, we pray and seek God. Then we lose our peace of mind and lament that there is no one to help us in this sinful world. There is a beautiful Bible verse that says: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6,7).
Dear children of God, engrave this Bible verse in your mind, and when you face difficulty let your requests be known only to God in prayer so that you will receive the victory and miracle from Him. In the bible, we read about Moses, who took His difficulties to God in prayer and won the victory.
“So, Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “Please heal her, O God, I pray!” (Numbers 12:13).
There are many types of prayer – praying with tears, praying with praise, praying with intercession. Moses was the first person to introduce the prayer of pleading with God. We have observed many mothers pleading and imploring their toddlers to eat their food. Even a stubborn child will concede to their mother’s pleading. We read in the bible how God punished Miriam with leprosy because she spoke against Moses her brother. Instead of getting furious with Miriam, Moses pleaded with God on her behalf. This pleading prayer of Moses softened God’s heart and He healed Miriam. What a compassionate God we have! When we plead in prayer with God for our problems, diseases, and agony, He will definitely have mercy on us! He will deliver and heal us!
Even when Jesus was hanging on the cross, He pleaded with God for His persecutors, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” (Luke 23:34). How deep is God’s love for mankind! Cling to this loving God and learn to pray and get the victory!
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, I pray for my children those who are reading this message. Lord help them to keep their burdens and worries upon you, devote more time to tarry in prayer and inherit their blessings! Give them the grace to hold on to you in every circumstance of their life!
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
Genesis 21:22, “God is with you in all that you do.’’
My 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 Genesis 21:22, “God is with you in all that you do.’’
My dear children of God, There is another verse in the Bible which says, Abraham was blessed in all things. The secret of his blessings was that “God was with him in all that he did. Or in other words God was with him. And since God was with him, he was blessed in all things. So where is our blessings hidden or come from. It is from the Lord. The Lord being inside of us is very important. If you have Him within you then you will be blessed in all that you do. If God is with you, then you will be victorious. But if God is not with you then the Devil will come to occupy that vacant place. He is an unsuccessful person so he will lead you to failures. In the beginning he will say many good things and entice you, but in the end he will lead you to destruction.
What the word of God says about David is that, “Day by day He increased.” He increased day by day since the Lord was with him. The secret of David’s success was God was with him in all that he did. Similarly if God is with you then you too will be successful in all the work you do. If you expect the Lord to be with you, in all the work that you do, then your heart must be fit to obey His word and follow them whole heartedly. If you do something that displeases God, He will be disturbed by your wrong doing. This is what happened in the life of Samson.
Hence what must you do to retain Him with you? You should walk in the fear of your conscience. Do good to all those possible, especially the helpless and needy. Never plan to destroy or spoil the life of anybody. And with a broad mind help others to live. a
Even today, you might be feeling that I am faithful in all my work and I do good to others. I pray frequently and read the word of God, yet there is no change in my life. I am still a failure with no success. If this is your state, examine yourself. May be there is still something that you are not doing right before the Lord. It may be pride, jealousy, anger, lust, unforgiveness , lies, adultery, all this the hates. Today identify those mistakes in your life and ask the Holy Spirit to help you rectify it when you do so, surely the Lord will help you succeed in all that you do.
PRAYER: Dear Lord we thank you. I bless my children in the name of Jesus. Now also Lord consider all those who are suffering in many things, in many work , in their business, in their ministry, and all those who are very backward and going through hardship. Many of them pray , and they work hard, but they don’t gain any profit. May be their sinful life would be a hindrance to their blessing. Lord please forgive my children, and bless them in all the work of their hand. Be with my children wherever they go. Give them victory and success in all their endeavour. I bless them as an ambassador of God from the depth of my heart, that they do well and prosper. Perform miracles for them. Remove all the agony and pain of my children and help them live a healthy and prosperous life. May they be blessed in all that they do. Let everything they undertake be successful.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
Isaiah 35:3 “Strengthen the weak hands. And make firm the feeble knees”.
My 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 Isaiah 35:3 “Strengthen the weak hands. And make firm the feeble knees”.
Why should the weak hands be strengthened? And why should the feeble knees be made firm?
In this world, a man needs his hands to do his work and his knees to walk and carry out his task. His legs are very important to do his work. So, they need to be firm and his weak hands have to be strengthened. According to God, the essence of this verse is that all necessary things should not be passive or incapable of being used. When the body’s organs become passive, the person’s life too will become passive. He will lose all interest in himself and will fail to do anything in life. So, we need to ask God to strengthen our hands and knees.
Why does the hand become weak?
It may be due to weakness in the body, hands might become strengthless, and thereby will fail to function properly. Sometimes sorcery or black magic is done by some unwanted person who could make the hands and legs passive so that he will not be able to use his organs any further, which were once functioning properly. Sometimes you become very suppressed and inactive due to depression. Then hands and legs become inactive. Sometimes due to aging one’s hands and legs become paralyzed, unfit for further use. Today, let us not focus on how we get such disease and fall into depression. Instead, we will focus on how we can come out of this passive nature of our organs, this paralyzed situation.
How can we operate our hands and legs?
We need the power of God to operate our organs that are passive for various reasons. We need to ask God to strengthen our feeble knees and strengthen our weak hands. When the power of God gets into our body then our paralyzed hands and legs will become active and shall become fit to operate. Feeble knees will become firm and weak hands will become strengthened. You need to invite God to renew and rejuvenate your feeble knees and weak hands. You might have taken all your medication, and treatment but everything has become a failure. What will not be a failure is a spiritual effort. You ask God to grant you firm knees and strengthen your weak hands so that you can work and make your living. Do you know how Bartimaeus the blind beggar called up to Jesus? So, Jesus who was passing by heard his cry and asked him what he wanted. Immediately the blind man asked Jesus to give him sight so that he might work and earn his living. Jesus blessed him with sight, and the blind man received his sight. His weakness was being blind and therefore he was unable to see. So, he sat on the roadside begging. If he had sight, he could have worked and earned his living. Blindness was his weakness. So, he asked Jesus for sight. He did not want to beg anymore. His sight was restored by Jesus.
Today God is giving you a life-giving word, that is He is going to remove the spirit of weakness from your body, God says, “Let not your heart be troubled, do not be afraid, nor be dismayed”. God is delivering you from all restlessness as the verse says “God gives strength to the weary, and increases the power of the weak.”
PRAYER: Our loving heavenly Father, as you said in your word today that “Strengthen the weak hands. And make firm the feeble knees”, we claim it in Jesus Name in our live. Let my children be released from every form of disability, in the body, and heal them. Lord deliver them from all kinds of black magic, sorcery and divination and grant them good health. For the word of God says, if the Son sets you free, then you shall be free indeed. God will release you from all kinds of barriers and liberate you. Perform miracles for them Lord.
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 you today is from the book of Matthew 28:20 “I am with you always”.
We have crossed many difficult situations in our past but today God has promised that ‘I will be with you’. Yes, He will be with us when we are alone when we go through struggles, He will be with us in our Ups and Downs.
In Bible, we can see God promises Moses “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you”. The Israelites had to cross the Red Sea when they left Egypt. And the Egyptian army was chasing them. Moses was perturbed about how he was going to take this large multitude of people across the sea. God was with Moses during this difficult distressing situation. He told Moses, “Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea.” Moses obeyed the Lord’s instruction. To his wonder, the sea parted into two. Perhaps you too have overcome many obstacles so far by keeping your faith in God. In our journey in life, we might face hurdles that we cannot overcome by our own strength, but with God, by our side, we will be victorious.
Secondly, we can see in Isaiah 43:2, “when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you.”. A river is a flowing body of water. So, when a person gets caught in a river it will drown him. When Elisha stood before the overflowing river Jordan, he was calm. And when he struck the river Jordan saying, “Where is the God of Elisha?” the river parted into two. He victoriously crossed it. Perhaps you have faced many overwhelming situations in life. Maybe you are unable to overcome such situations. Do not be anxious! The God of Elisha is with you! He will control your overwhelming situations. This was the same experience that David explains in Psalm 124:1-5. Therefore, do not be anxious! Greater is He that is in you, than He that is in the world (1 John 4:4). He will watch over us! God will be with you through whatever situation you face and protect and save you. So, be of good cheer!
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, come to their aid when they face difficulties and distress and deliver them. Lead them miraculously according to the verse Isaiah 43:2. Strengthen them so they do not faint. Help them to progress by holding you firmly. Deliver them from all evil. In Jesus name. Amen.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
