Dearly Beloved, 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 Proverbs 2: 6, “For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”
From the above context we understand that God gives wisdom, and we receive knowledge from His mouth, and understanding also. The Bible says, let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance, because one receives the word of wisdom, by the spirit, and another receives knowledge, by the same spirit. Solomon in his proverbs, says, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Many suffer from lack of wisdom, and to such persons God encourages, to ask of Him for He gives wisdom without showing any partiality.
This reminds me of an incident. You all must have heard that we conducted online prayer service, during the month of September 2020. After which a brother had written his testimony. His name is Saliraj. He had completed his B.Sc Nursing, and he had tried writing his DHA exam to serve as Health Officer in Dubai. This was his ambition that he should work in Dubai. But all his four attempts to pass the test proved a big failure. He had been watching our programme, under the heading, “The Most High God.” And as I was preaching, I was discussing on one of the point which caught his attention and he held on to that phrase of the message namely, “God who gives Knowledge.” This brother had listened to our message on the 5th of September and during prayer time he had made a request telling about his desire. And the prophesy to him was, “You shall reach your desired destination.”This brother realised that he did not have sufficient knowledge, in his subject and so he had failed but next time he decided to take the God, who gives knowledge along with him to write his exams.
To his surprise he appeared for the exam, on the 21st of September. And he was successful in his fifth attempt. Praise be to God. He equipped himself with knowledge from God and wrote his exam. So he passed his exam and he is now working as the health officer in Dubai Government hospital. He not only held on to the phrase that came forth in my message but also believed that God will fill him with required knowledge and therefore he would surely pass in his test. God honoured his faith. How about you who are reading this message ? Will you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for a miracle? When God could do for brother Saliraj, won’t he do for you? Are you lacking in wisdom, are you poor in your studies, or like Saliraj are you also trying to write government exams and have been a failure. You please increase your faith in God then you shall be successful. Saliraj’s brother was not settled for a long time. But by this online prayer and by the grace of God, his brother got married. Thus God performed two miracles for him. God will do miracles in your life also. God Bless You.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, We thank You for blessing Bro. Saliraj to pass his DHA Exam, and be employed in Dubai. and also to have settled his brother. Lord give us the knowledge and good understanding to face our daily challenges in life. May we also be blessed in all our endeavour, which we undertake to be successful in our lives.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
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 James 1:5, “But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”
From the above context we learn that recognising our lack of wisdom is a wise step towards understanding. Scripture qualifies this by reminding us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of the holy One brings understanding. Life is full of pitfalls and snares, and we often make wrong choices, but it is comforting to know that no matter what trials we may be called upon to face, or what foolish choices we have made in the past, we can go to the Lord and ask Him for godly insight and spiritual understanding, and He has promised to give us all that is needed for the betterment of our life. In this passage, James, speaks about the wisdom we need, when we are surrounded by the various difficulties we encounter in our everyday lives and the tough choices we are all required to make. James a bond servant of Jesus Christ, lacked wisdom. But he made an attempt to gain godly wisdom and spiritual understanding. James learnt that the suffering of this life produces patient endurance, which will furnish us with spiritual maturity. “However,” he continues, “if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, Who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”
There are times when we do not know what to do or which way to turn, when we are surrounded with problems especially, when we deal with our own family, wife, husband and children. At such times we need to seek the face of the Lord for guidance. James knows that trusting the Lord for godly wisdom as we travel through life, is a tool the Lord uses to test and strengthen our faith in Him, and which helps to produce in us the patient endurance that is so needful for our daily life. We all need God’s heavenly wisdom in the tests and trials of life’s disappointments and difficulties, which are so much a part of our everyday lives. How much we need His guidance in the choices we have to make, a willingness to admit our faults, a readiness to learn the lessons God desires to teach us, and an eagerness to put into practice the truth we have learned. God knows that we are weak and frail and He knows that the testing of our faith can cause us to complain or murmur or to become unsteady in our Christian walk. But God provides all the wisdom we need to maintain a steady heart, patient endurance, and an unwavering, uncompromised faith in Him. God delights to give generously to all who ask – but we must be prepared to ask Him, to listen to His voice, and to obey His Word.
Have you the knowledge and wisdom to deal all your problems, with regarding to your business, at your work spot, while dealing with your boss and other co workers, in your neighbourhood, when dealing with problematic neighbours or when you deal with your own children, who do not do well in their studies. Do you get annoyed with them, or do you tolerate them patiently. My dear children of God, you need wisdom and knowledge to deal all the issues that you face in everyday life. We often fail to understand our own family members. That is why God insists us to ask of Him, wisdom and knowledge for when we ask for knowledge God gives wisdom without any partiality. So be prepared to ask Him and you will find peace and calmness in your life. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, as the pressures of life are pressing down hard on us, we want to hold fast to the faith and patiently endure all the problems that confront us in our daily lives. Give us the wisdom we need to face the future with all joy, knowing very well that our life is hid with Christ in God. Help us to grow in grace and in wisdom as we depend in Your love and trust in Your Word.
In Jesus Name We Pray. Amen.
My dear brother and sister 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 Lamentation 3:31,32, For the Lord will not cast off forever. Though He causes grief, Yet He will show compassion , According to the multitude of His mercies.
For He does not afflict willingly, Nor grieve the children of men.”
My Dear Brother And Sister, From the above context we learn that God will show you compassion, according to the multitude’ of His mercies. God is directly visiting your homes through this message today and is saying, that He will never forsake you. You may be forsaken by your parents, or some husbands may be forsaken by their wives, or some wives may have been forsaken by their husbands. And to all such persons who are reading this message, I wish to tell you, that even though you may be forsaken by someone, God will not forsake you. He will neither leave you nor forsake you. There are many sick patients reading this message .They have been forsaken by the doctors. Many heart patients have been forsaken by their doctors, saying, “We ‘’can’t help you, only God must save you.” Thus we see how people whom we trust sometimes forsake you. ”Your hope in them is lost forever.
But God says, “I will be compassionate to you.” You may be thinking, God has forsaken you while you are suffering from cancer or from Corona Virus. But God says, He will not forsake you, whether you are good in health or whether you are sick in bed. He remains the same, because He is an unchanging God. God who loves you says, “I will not forsake you, I will not leave you as orphans in this world. I will show you compassion.”So be cheerful, trust in the Lord, He will strengthen you. Once God spoke to Joshua saying, “Be strong and of good courage, As I was with Moses, So I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Only be strong and not be dismayed.” Joshua had to face many wars during his period of time, but the Lord strengthened him and he won all the battles. He also led the people of Israel safely into the land of Canaan, after the death of Moses and even distributed the land to each of the tribes as he was instructed by Moses. He proved to be a great leader since God strengthened him and showed compassion to him.
God will be your strong hold. He is always at your side. If God is on your side who can come against you? To those of you who are weeping saying, ‘ I have not achieved anything in my life.”God is saying He will make you a great achiever. Then you will say, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” You will begin to achieve what you missed all these years, if you join Jesus. Get into His chariot and journey along with Him then you shall experience great miracles in your life. God will change all the emptiness of your life into fulfilment, Completeness. Since God is the source and fort of Wisdom He will pour upon you His wisdom, and make you a star in life, a great business man, a great and renowned doctor, a well known engineer. A famous lawyer or a preacher. God will exalt you. Thus you shall achieve greater things in life if you cling to God for all your needs. He will give you name and fame. He will increase you on every side and comfort you. God Bless You.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, we thank You because You will not forsake us. And you will show us compassion . Help us to cling on to You, join your chariot and travel along with you. Thank you for giving us Jesus Christ the greatest, and the most treasured property in our life. Enable us to achieve greater things for God.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
My dear brothers and sisters 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 12:7, “ I, the Lord, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream. Not so with My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My house. “
My Dear Brother and Sister, from the above context we understand that God tells about Moses, that he was honest in all things. Moses was truthful in serving the Lord and also in handling his family. God met him at mount Sinai and called him separately to go to Egypt and deliver the people of God from the hands of the cruel Egyptian task masters who were misusing and exploiting and manipulating the people of Israel by extracting hard labour from them. When God appeared before Moses in a burning bush, he asked him to go back to Egypt from where he ran away many years ago, fearing that Pharaoh would punish him for killing an Egyptian. Moses, in order to escape Pharaoh’s death penalty, fled to Midian a desert country in Judah, where he married Zipporah who was the daughter of Jethro, the priest and prince of Midian. She was the mother of Moses’ two sons: Eliezer and Gershom.
Moses did not marry Zipporah of his own accord secretly, but by the will of God. Since she was the daughter of a priest she would help Moses in the task of liberating the people of Israel. When God called Moses and commanded him to deliver the people of Israel, he sent Aaron to speak for him before Pharaoh, as he was stammering of speech. Miriam the sister of Moses was a prophetess. She also joined him in his hard journey. Moses did not go away shirking from his responsibility of caring for his wife and sons. He handed them to his uncle Jethro and requested him to take care of them until he returned from Egypt, after delivering the people of Israel. He tells him that he would be passing by Midian on his way to Canaan the promised land, and while passing by, he would take his family along with him. Until then he asked his uncle to take care of his family. This shows that he was a responsible family man. I regret to say that many pastors and preachers who serve God, neglect their own families. Paul says, in his epistle to Timothy, “If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?”
On his mission Moses meets his brother and sister. But his sister raised question as to how he got married to Zipporah who was a Medianite. Miriam did not like Moses, because he married Zipporah. Though Moses explained all about his marriage to her, she caused commotion and questioned him if God will speak only through him and not with Miriam as she was a prophetess. God was displeased with her for complaining Moses regarding his marriage and also for questioning God if he would only talk through Moses and not through her. God called all the three of them to the tabernacle and said unto them,”Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream. Not so with My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My house.I speak with him face to face, Even plainly, and not in dark sayings; And he sees the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid, To speak against My servant Moses?” For He is faithful in all My house.’’ Miriam skin turned leprosy as a punishment for talking against Moses. Are you talking against the servants of God ? Be cautious never to speak ill of pastors and preachers. Consider them as Ambassadors of God. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, we thank You for telling that Moses was faithful in all His house. He was not only faithful in serving God but also in maintaining his family. He proved to be a faithful and sincere person. Help us also to be faithful in all our ways. Never to speak ill of the elders, pastors and preachers.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
My dear brothers and sisters 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 Psalms 69:29,” But I am poor and sorrowful; Let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.”
My Dear Brother and Sister, from the above context we learn that David, was in the most sorrowful state of life, when he wrote this psalm. He says, “But I am poor and sorrowful.” The Psalmist was afflicted very much, but his faith was in God. The poor in spirit and mourners are both blessed by the word of God. This refers to the sufferings of Jesus Himself. No man was ever poorer or more sorrowful than Jesus of Nazareth, yet his cry out of the depths was heard, by His Father, and so he was uplifted to the highest glory. Therefore David, says, “Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.” He also comforts us by saying, “For as with your Lord so shall it be with you.” You are trodden down to-day as the mire of the Streets, but you shall ride upon the high places of the earth, even now you, are raised up together, and made to sit together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus. Since God had considered his sorrow and lifted him up, David says, “I will praise the name of God with a song.” He is, in very truth, “the sweet singer of Israel.” And all the saints join in chorus. “to magnify Him with thanksgiving.” What clear shining we have after the rain. The darkness is past, and the glory light shines forth as the sun. All the honour is rendered unto Jesus, for He alone could deliver us from our enemy the death and therefore, and him only be the praise.
But I am poor and sorrowful, says, David, comparing himself to that of Jesus. For The Messiah himself was poor in a literal sense, as it was foretold he should, be born of poor parents, and brought up in a mean way: and in his public life, having no certain dwelling place, and ministered to by others; and when on the cross, being stripped of his garments; and nothing to eat and drink but gall and vinegar; and nothing to leave for his mother, but commits her to the care of his beloved disciple. This phrase in general denotes the low estate of Christ who was obedient to death; and the character of “sorrowful” well agrees with him, For He was a man of sorrows all his days.
My Dear Brother and Sister, are you going through such kind of sorrow in your life, like David who was running for his life from the hands of his enemies. Or like Jesus who lived in poverty. And was known as the man of sorrow. Are you so grief stricken, because of your financial crisis, joblessness, childlessness, loss in your business. Or is it because of your enemies who are chasing you for various reason. Have you been caught up in criminal case, What is it thats troubling you. Well as prophesy I wish to say that God will lift you up and cause you to sit among the princes. As God exalted David from a poor shepherd boy to that of a king of Israel or like Jesus whom God the Father has made him sit, at the right hand of God Himself. God will exalt you if you remain humble within his Mighty hands. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, we thank You for suffering for us on the cruel cross, in order to make us sit in heavenly places. We also thank You for exalting David, from a shepherd boy to that of a king. Do exalt us also from our poverty stricken state of life and enable us to see good days, according to the days we had been afflicted.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
