Dearly Beloved 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 Exodus 3:8, “So I have come down to deliver them, out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up, from the land, to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey.”
From the above context we see what God says, about his people Israel. He says, that He saw their affliction, He heard their cry, and that He knows their agony with which they suffer in the hands of the cruel task masters. So God couldn’t bear any more of their sufferings therefore He said to Moses that He will deliver them from the hands of the Egyptians and bring them to Canaan, a good and large land flowing with milk and honey. God wanted to make his people prosperous after all their sufferings. The people of Israel suffered affliction in Egypt, for 430 years. They were treated as slaves. They were beaten and whipped, they had to make bricks without hay. Their wives and children suffered shame and humiliation. Actually when Joseph was the governor of Egypt, he saved the people during the time of famine. Not only Egypt, but also all the surrounding nations, were supplied with grains because Joseph foretold Pharaoh about the oncoming famine. They stored large amount of food grains and helped all the nations with grains during the time of famine.
It was then that Jacob and his sons entered Egypt and settled amicably. But later after Joseph died, the new Pharaoh ill treated the people of Israel, such that they lifted up their voice and cried out to God, to deliver them from the hands of the Egyptians. They were being tortured day after day. The people of Israel were in large number and the Egyptians were afraid of the Israelites. They wanted them to work for them in constructing huge structures like erecting pyramids, and great sphinx. Thus the Israelites suffered in the hands of the Egyptians. They were never paid properly for their hard work. They were suffering from poverty and hard labour. Though Moses was brought up in Pharaoh’s house as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, for 40
years, he fled from Egypt and settled in Midian. Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord, appeared to him in flame and God called Moses from the burning bush and asked him to go back to Egypt, and tell Pharaoh to allow the people of Israel to worship their God Yahweh, in the wilderness, and if he failed to liberate his people then God would perform signs and wonders in the midst of the people, such that Pharaoh and the Egyptians will themselves, ask the people of Israel to leave the land for ever with all their wealth and possessions to inherit the promised land Canaan, flowing with milk and honey.
Dearly Beloved , just as God saw the affliction of the people of Israel, God is watching all your problems. He knows all your pain and sorrow. He knows your agony. He has heard your cry; He wants to help you out of your problems. Are you afflicted by the creditors from whom you have borrowed huge sum of money? Is your boss troubling you at your work spot? Is the land lady causing tension to you because you failed to pay the rent on time? Is your neighbour afflicting you, causing unnecessary nuisance to you, hurting you with bad words. And inflicting pain to you such that you are unable to sleep peacefully? May be your mistress under whom you work, might be extracting too much of work. And abusing you often and not paying you well for all the labour you do for her. Well God has already sent His angels to support you and show mercy to you. God will bring an end to all your problems. God has seen your affliction he has sent his angels who are all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister, unto His children. God will wipe away your tears. He will prosper you just as He prospered the people of Israel in the land flowing with milk and honey. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, we thank you for watching over us. You see our tears and hear our cry. You act immediately to relieve us from our affliction. So we thank You Lord. We thank You for redeeming Your chosen people from the hands of cruel Egyptian task masters. Set us also free from all our bondages and help us to inherit your prosperity.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.

We read in the Bible that King Hezekiah was sick unto death with disease. Prophet Isaiah said to him, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live.’ ”Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and wept bitterly. The Lord sent word through Isaiah, “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you. And I will add to your days fifteen years.”When a cake of figs. was placed on the inflammation, Hezekiah recovered (2 Kings 20:1-7). God answered Hezekiah’s requests instantaneously. Likewise delight yourself in the Lord and cling on to Him, He will heal you.
I am well acquainted with Dr Dilip Kumar’s family in Nagercoil. His wife Dr Ruth Dilip Kumar was suffering continuously from a splitting headache for the past 7 years. No medicine could cure the pain. Despite taking several scans and taking treatment all her efforts proved futile. They came to me for prayer when I had gone to a place called Ayiramthengu in Kumari district for ministry. I asked her. “Sister what do you want me to pray for?” She said, “For the past 7 years I am suffering from this severe headache. Please pray that it should disappear.” I closed my eyes and said a short prayer, “Lord I don’t know what the cause of this headache in the dear sister’s body is. Why is she having these headaches? But today she must be free from it completely. I believe she will be healed if you say one word.” So, I kept my hand on her head and prayed, “Be delivered from your pain and be healed” and sent her home. She called me once she reached me and said, “Brother, the headache that I was suffering with for 7 years has vanished.” Hallelujah!
In the same manner God will heal you and will help you to come out of your troubled situation.
God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, We thank You for revealing Your power of healing in this message. Grant us strength in our feeble hands, legs, and may every organ in our body function well so that we may rejoice in the lord and glorify His name.
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 Genesis 30:22, “And Then God Remembered Rachel and Listened To Her And Opened Her Womb.”
From the above context we learn that Rachel was barren over a long period. Her long barrenness had probably humbled and disciplined her; for she no longer trusted in “love-apples,” but looked to God for the great blessing of children. She knew that only God could open her womb and not her husband Jacob. Even her earthly means of pregnancy failed as she had tried the method of taking mandrakes, which was as big as a nutmeg. But she could not conceive. Ultimately she turns to God Yahweh. All her selfish feeling disappears. She is no more jealous of Leah, her eldest sister who had borne many children. God extended the period of barrenness, to teach her several lessons namely patience and complete dependence on God. He taught her humbleness of heart and fear for God and the truth is that they were influenced by the promises of God to Abraham; whose posterity was promised the richest blessings.
God remembered Rachel, in a way of mercy and kindness, whom He seemed to have forgotten, by not giving her children much earlier. But later, God hearkened to her prayer, which had been made time after time, that she might have children; but God had purposely delayed to answer, in order that Rachel might change in her attitude towards God. It was an outcome of the higher spiritual life of Rachel who thought that she could conceive without the help of God, by simply resorting to mandrakes. And was now able to recognize her complete dependence for offspring on the sovereign God of Abraham, Isaac And Jacob. Therefore God opened her womb; gave her conception, and made her fruitful, and she became the mother of a child she so much desired. God gave Rachel also a son, whom she named Joseph, because his birth not only furnished an actual proof that God had removed the reproach of her childlessness, but also excited the wish, that Jehovah might add another son.
Many of you who are reading this message are anxiously waiting to receive the gift of a child. But for various reasons God has delayed in blessing you with a child. So like Rachel you too may try all the earthly methods of conception. You may have tried various modern methods but not able to conceive. So you are broken in heart. You are living in shame like Hannah or Rachel and Elizabeth who suffered from barrenness. The best thing is to lean on the Lord. Then the Lord will be merciful to you and open your womb and help you to conceive and bring forth a child. Instead of looking at horoscope, or going for magicians look at Jesus. He will clear all things for you. He who heard the prayer of Rachel, will answer your prayer also and help you to conceive and bring forth a son, or daughter. For the Bible says, God grants the barren woman a home and makes her a joyful mother of children. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, We thank You for hearing the prayer of Rachel and blessing her with a Son. Teach us not to depend on earthly methods of conception, but rather to look up to God for offspring. Help us to put our confidence upon God. Teach us patience, and humbleness of heart, not to be jealous of those who have children but wait on the Lord for His time of blessing.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. As Children of God we need to give priority to God. We need to glorify God because He has granted favour before men and other people. Give God the first place in your life. If you give first place to God in your life, then God will give you the first place in His Heart. Especially the youngsters should seek the Lord while they are young. They should give the first place to God in their life. Ecclesiastes 12:1 says, “Remember now your creator in the days, of your youth. Before the difficult days come, and the years draw near when you say, I have no pleasure in them. ’Also we read in Psalm 119:9 “How can a man cleanse his ways? By taking heed to God’s word”.
When you give importance to God in your life then surely as per Proverbs 22:29 God will make you stand before kings. They shall not stand before mean men. Only when we give our priority to God, we will acquire a good portion of inheritance in our life. God must be our wealth and we should give the first place to God in our lives. Only then God will bless us.
Some might be expecting a seat in a good college, a good life partner from a good family, and a job in a good company. If you want all these things to happen in your life, then you should submit your life in the hands of the creator who will act for you. When you give a portion of your life to God then God will give you a portion of His blessing. God will break all the barriers that obstruct you from achieving your portion and will grant you the best portion. Not ruined places but place of prosperity. Since you are waiting for such a glorious period of life, the Lord will bless you and grant you the desires of your heart. He is a God who gives wonderful things. When God gives you the best portion in your life then you will live in peace, harmony and freedom.
May be until now you have not achieved anything wonderful in life, but hereafter, you will achieve wonderful things in your life. God will bless you with a permanent job. Some will acquire excellent business. They will rise up high and mount up as eagles; they will prosper and flourish like the palm trees they will grow like cedar in Lebanon as promised in Psalm 92:12. You will work in excellent dwellings with peace and great freedom.
God bless you
Prayer :
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for your unfailing love and care. We thank you for the favor you have shown in the midst of men and people. Thank you Lord for giving to us all that is necessary for our lives. Unto your name we give all the glory and honor for your truths sake.
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 Exodus 14:13, “And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid, Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more, forever.”
From the above context we come to know that all your enemies will vanish away and you shall be free from their hands. The Israelites were being chased by the Egyptian army. But all of them were drowned in the sea. Thus the people of God were well protected from their enemies and they crossed the Red Sea without any fear.
God is going to show favour to you as He showed favour to Joseph in Potiphar’s house. He was sold by his brothers to the merchants and there in Egypt he worked in Potiphars house. Though he did not do any wrong, he was thrown into the jail because Joseph refused to incline to the desires of Potiphars wife. Joseph feared God. And so he ran away from committing sin. God was with Joseph so he found favour in the eyes of the jailor who appointed him as the head man over all the other prisoners. Not only that, two years later was he called by Pharaoh himself to interpret the meaning of his dream. Even while he was in the prison he was able to interpret the dream of the butler and baker. And each ones dream came true as he had interpreted. Now when he interpreted the dream of Pharaoh he was exalted by him and made the Governor of Egypt. Joseph would never have thought that he was going to be the Governor. He was given all power and authority. God lifted him up from that of a slave to the post of a Governor. God favoured him in the eyes of Pharaoh.
Similarly we see Jacob who went to do business with his uncle, and he found the favour of God. In the beginning Jacob’s uncle Laban cheated him by giving his eldest daughter Leah. So Jacob worked another seven years and married Rachel. Day by day Jacob worked hard, and later his uncle financed him in his business and made him his working partner. He made a contract with Jacob saying all striped sheep would belong to Jacob, and all plain ones will be Labans’. God multiplied those sheep which his uncle had allotted for him. In everything that Jacob did God showed favour to him and therefore he became rich and wealthy. He found favour in the eyes of his own uncle who had cheated him and even his uncle’s sons who considered Jacob as an enemy, became friendly and showed favour to him. Therefore having crossed over river Jordan victoriously he praises the Lord and says, “Lord in what way am I worthy to obtain mercy and grace and the truth of God that I should be blessed with two companies who left my father’s house with only a staff and empty hand. He praises the Lord for making his name great among the Israelites. God will show you the same favour from your boss under whom you work. God will make your name great, with fame and praise in your company such that you will even become a working partner with your Boss in his business. If God is with you then you will shine. God Bless You.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, We thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank you for driving all our enemies and protecting us from their cruel hands. We thank You Father for the favour, You showed to Joseph and Jacob. We also wish to inherit that blessing which you have bestowed upon them. Help us to run away from sin and have godly fear in us. Teach us to have Christ in us that we may be victorious in our day to day life.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
