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 Psalms 102:16, “For the Lord shall build up Zion, He shall appear in His Glory. He shall regard the prayer of the destitute. And shall not despise their prayer.”
From the above context we see that God approves the prayer of the destitute, and does not despise them. Today you are reading this message with many requests in your mind; will I be able to settle my children? Can I go abroad? When will flights start operating? Will my son also secure a good job overseas? Will I be able to settle my daughter soon? Such questions and many more, keep coming up in your mind often. There is sudden fear about your future. Many, whom you considered, will extend help to you, only disappointed you. But Jesus will never despise you. Neither will He neglect you like men folks. He is a Father to the fatherless and defender of the widows. He knows very well that you are dependent upon Him and that you do not have anyone besides Him. So He will acknowledge your request and perform a miracle for you. He will heal your disease. He will support you when you call upon His name. He will direct your steps. He will protect you and your children from your enemies; they may be your own relatives. Who take advantage of your helpless state and cause you pain. They may hurt you by their words. Don’t lose heart. God is near to help you.
Firstly God will build a house for the deprived and will set them free from their bondages. The Bible says, God sets the solitary in families. He releases the prisoners from the prison and redeems those in bondage, The Lord is the father of the fatherless, He is concerned about the widows, and He will bring justice to the widows. Some women will have husband but they will live like widow, Some children will have father or mother but they will live like orphans. This is what is meant to be fatherless. When the earthly father or husband fails to do their responsibility to their wives or their children then God Himself will come down in a marvellous manner and provide their needs. He becomes the Father to the fatherless and widows. We see this in our day to day life. This applies to all those who are suffering. The Lord will be a defender to the widows. He will open ways and means for your livelihood. He will open the windows of heaven and meet all your needs. When widows cry unto God He will hear their cry from heaven above and will not despise their prayer. He will answer them and solve their problems. He heard the prayer of both Ruth and Naomi and blessed them as they were widows.
I see in my spirit that many of you are residing in rented house. The landlord often asks you to vacate your house. Then it becomes too difficult for you to look out for a house, as per your budget. You struggle. To such people God says, “I will build a house for you.” David asked God to build a house for him. To provide a house of your own is a simple thing for God to do. Even people with much wealth may not be able to build a house. Unless God blesses them with a house, they cannot have one. So God has to permit you to build a house. God will not only provide a house for the desolate but also deliver them from the bondages in which they are caught up with. May be debts, bad habits, witchcraft, or some wrong relationship or some other issues, whatever it may be God is going to deliver all of you, who are reading this message from your bondages. So be cheerful in the Lord. Give Him room in your heart that He might be able to perform miracles in your life. For He will neither leave you nor forget you. God says, “Fear Not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”Hold on to His promise. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank You for your kindness towards widows and the fatherless. We thank you for building them a house and also delivering them all from their bondages. You remember us in our lowly state of life. So we thank You Lord. Help us also to consider You as our Head, of the family.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious life giving word of the Lord, for today is from the book of Deuteronomy 31:6, “ Be strong and of good courage.”
Isn’t the Lord encouraging you through this verse? The Lord is telling you to be courageous enough and not to lose heart, but to be bold. Today, if the Lord is telling you this, it means you have lost hope in something. You are frightened about something. You might have lost courage, but the Lord is telling you to be strong and courageous. There must be strength in your spirit. Our strength must be in our spirit more than the body. Only if there is strength in the spirit, the body will work. However, strong your body may be, if your spirit does not cooperate, you will not be able to do anything. The Lord did not tell you to have a strong body. He is telling you to be courageous in your spirit. You must have hope and not worry about anything. The devil will do many things to dishearten you. But you must be strong and courageous.
There is a beautiful verse in the Bible that speaks about Jesus Himself, saying, that ‘The child grew and was strengthened in the spirit, filled with grace and grew in wisdom, He grew up in favour with God and men.” You too must be strengthened in the spirit. It means that if your inner man is strong, even if his outer body is weak, the inner being will be strong. Only then you can achieve great things in life. There should be no fear. If you are afraid, then you would not be able to do anything successfully. The devil will try to bring fear. If he instils fear, then fear will cause that person to change the actions. That is why the Lord has told, Be strong and courageous. Keep your mind always strong, with faith and hope, then the devil cannot deceive you. If strength and courage come together, you will able to perform supernatural works too. You will have the strength to do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Do you know why many are depressed? It’s because they grow weary. It’s because they have lost faith. When they face some disappointment, they become depressed. They lose hope. They need faith. The devil leads to make coward decisions. You must never make coward decisions. That is why according to this word, do everything, by being strong and courageous. Then the Lord will do great things for you. Even if you have lost hope, until today, take the next step in faith. Have you failed? Take the next step. Have you lost? Take the next step. Were you put to shame anywhere? Do not worry, you will be honoured in the same place where you were put to shame. You can accomplish all great things with the Lord’s help. From today, all those of you reading this message will become achievers in life.
Prayer: Loving Lord, we thank you! Give new strength to all those children who are weak. Bless them to be strong and courageous. And those who are physically weak, give them renewed strength in their bodies. Let not anyone lose hope, but be courageous. Let the Holy Spirit always keep them strong in heart. Victory comes from the Lord. Bless them to be victorious.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen!
Dearly Beloved in Christ , I greet and bless you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious life giving word of the Lord, for today is from the book of Rev 3:21, “ To him that overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me in My throne”.
The one who is victorious will sit with me on My throne. Lord Jesus did not say that He will put a throne beside Him and make you sit. The Lord says, I will cause Him to sit along with Me on My throne’. Visualise this and see. What a great blessing it would be! It means that if Jesus is seated with a person in his life, then it would be like sitting on on God’s throne. It is a royal throne. That is what the Lord wants to give you through this verse. There are only two ways to sit alongwith with God in His throne. One is that it must have double seat, the other is for you to sit on the lap of Jesus.
David says, “When God is on my right side, I will not be shaken.” Compare this verse and the verse for today. It means that David felt as if Jesus was seated on his right side together and he thanked the Lord for it. It means that you are seated to the left side of the Lord or the Lord is at your right side. Therefore, you will not be shaken. Today, You have an assurance that you are seated on the Lord’s throne. You will not be shaken. But who will receive this? The one who is victorious and overcomes the world, will get this. This means, that It is for the one who overcomes the world, the sins of the world, and the act of the devil. If you want to sit with Jesus and experience royalty, you must win this world. The Lord will give you fresh anointing to overcome this and will give you the privilege to sit, on the royal throne with God.
Prayer: Loving Lord, we thank you! It is a great privilege for every man, to sit in the throne along with You, since, You have said, “ That the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with Me on My throne. ” Give this great privilege to those who are reading this message. Be on their right side. Just as David said, That he has kept the Lord always, before him, Remain on the right side of everyone, every children of God, so that they will not be shaken. Help them to bear fruits for You Lord, while they live on this earth. May they be living testimony for God, in their family, at their workplace, in their ministry, and in every task they undertake.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
Dearly Beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious life giving word of the Lord, for today is from the book of Isaiah 60:15, ‘I will make you the everlasting pride and the joy of many generations’.
Everlasting pride refers to an everlasting promotion. It is an honour. The Lord does not want you to be in a high position for a few days and then fall down to a lower level. You would have heard some say, ‘He has lived a lavish life and now he has ruined himself’.” He has lost everything and has become poor. Once I had been to Sri Lanka for ministry. I was taken to a house by a brother who worked there. I asked the brother, to whose house are we going? He told that’ I am taking you to the house of a person who lived a lavish life and is now ruined’. When I went to the house of this person who lived a lavish life, I came to know that he was a great businessman. His house was marvellous. It was an honourable house. Now, he was living for rent in the same house he had built and owned. He was at the peak of debt. He could not clear the debt, so the lenders took over the house. But he had managed to make them agree that he would pay rent and stay in the same house.
I prayed for this family, and said ‘Lord, give another chance for them’. The Lord told, ‘I will restore all that you lost’. When he heard this word, the man was astonished. He said, I have debts in crores. How will I restore this house? The financiers tried to force him to give the house, but he had not given it. It was a house he had built with great desire. I told him, ‘ The next time I come to Sri Lanka, this house that you are paying rent right now, will be restored back to you’. For that the Lord will give you a great blessing in your export business. The blessings of a servant of God will come true. Isaiah 65:8, says, ‘As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes and people say, don’t destroy it, there is still a blessing in it. So will I do on behalf of my servants, I will not destroy them all’. In the eyes of the Lord, the prayer of a servant of God is special. The servant of God will stand as a bridge between God and man and pleads to God and prays just like Moses. So, I prayed at his home and left. Do you know what happened? The Lord caused him to shine in the same business and within a year he settled crores of debts and restored his house. The next year when I went there, he took me around for ministry for ten days. The reason why I am saying this, is that the Lord will bless those of you who have spent a lavish life before and later have ruined yourself. That is the everlasting pride. Everlasting pride refers to a permanent promotion or permanent honour. The Lord desires for us to have it. But sometimes, our actions snatch it away. But what does today’s verse say? Everlasting pride! The Lord will bless you with everlasting pride.
Prayer: Loving Lord, we thank you! You have said, ‘I will make you an everlasting honour’. For those who have lived a lavish life and have been ruined, may they receive a permanent blessing. Break all obstacles and bless their business, their work and ministry. Restore to them all that they have lost. By your grace, give them the blessing of offspring and generations. Bless them to live happily.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen!
Dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious life giving word of the Lord, for today is from the book of John 8:36, ‘So, if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
The Bible says that our Lord Jesus was born in this earth as a Redeemer to save us. Our Lord Jesus has the Name, Redeemer. It means the One who redeems or saves you. So, if the Son of God, Jesus Christ redeems us, we will be free indeed. We can call this true freedom, complete freedom. Some are delivered, but not fully. Some are delivered from diseases but not completely healed. Some are delivered from the bondage of the devil when they are prayed for, but are they completely delivered? What does this verse say, ‘ So if the Son sets you free, you are free indeed! You need complete deliverance not partial. The Lord wants to give you complete deliverance. Only the Lord can set you free from every affliction you go through. Seek God to be healed of your disease, your bondage from evil spirit.
Deliverance is for someone who is caught up in something and wants to be free. Are you caught in sin , any unwanted relationship, debt , sickness etc. Do not worry. Today the Lord will deliver you. The Lord is coming in your midst as the God of deliverance and is delivering you. All you need to do is one thing. Say, ‘Jesus, deliver me.” You came to this earth to deliver me. You came to redeem me. Please deliver me. It is enough if you call upon Him. He will surely come up to you. Generally, when people who ask for help are caught in something, we see them calling out for help. Help me! Help me! But, today, it is enough for you to say just one word for the Lord to deliver you. Some are thinking, ‘I am in a good family, but will this unwanted habit bring separation in the family? I want to come out of this habit, but I am unable to. If you are thinking in this manner, then ask the Lord for help. Ask the Lord to deliver you from all bad habit. Say, “ Lord, please help me in this situation and deliver me from this weakness, sin, bad- relationship, bad -habit, alcohol, drugs, debts, and disease. I desire to be delivered.” When you ask the Lord for help, Ebenezer, the Lord who helps, will surely come and will help you in this matter and will deliver you completely.
Prayer: Loving Lord, we thank you! My children have been longing for deliverance. Lord, release them from their bondage and set them free. I thank You Lord for delivering them. The evil spirits in legions ran away on seeing you. Likewise, as You go into their homes, deliver them, from all the bondages of the devil. There are many who hurt their own bodies. Deliver all of them and cause them to be at peace. Bring them out of all the unwanted connections, sins, addictions to drugs which they are in. Bless them to live a life pleasing to You from today.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen!
