My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today, is from the book of Psalms 92:12 , “The Righteous flourish like the Palm tree, and grow like the Cedar in Lebanon.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we come to understand that God wants us to flourish like the Palm tree and prosper like the Cedar that grows in Lebanon. The trees of the Lord are watered abundantly, especially the Cedars that He planted. The Cedar of the Lebanon is tall, with spreading branches. The trees are rooted in deep soil. They usually thrive on slopes facing the sea. This is the kind of blessing that God wants you to enjoy in the (coming year.)
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God, encourages us that we ought to grow both materially and spiritually like the Cedars of Lebanon. The above verse says that you will have a bright future provided you fear the Lord and be righteous before Him. God assures that you will blossom like the lily flowers. You will grow strong and take root like the Cedars. Your children too will grow strong and stand firm in whatever position they hold. Your jobs will be established. Your income will increase. Your business will be established. Even your ministry will be established. You will stand firm, rooted and grounded. All the enemies that came/come, against you will be uprooted. God is destroying all the plans of the enemy. Every work of the witchcraft, sorcery, and evil spirit will be nullified in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Every evil thing that destroys your children’s future will be destroyed. God is breaking them right now.
My Dear brothers and Sisters, You will eat the good fruits of the tree in the coming year. That means God will fill your barns with grain and your vats will overflow with good wine. Such a person will be blessed, who trusts in the Lord, and whose confidence is in Him. Such people will be like trees planted by the waters that sends out its root by the stream. It never fears when heat comes, It’s leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of draught, and never fails to bear fruit. So will, you be in all your endeavours. A good measure of good things will be poured into your lap when God showers his favour upon you.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, We all want to live blessed lives, and experience the promise and blessings of God. We want to live lives where we are free from sickness and disease, and where our relationships are thriving, money isn’t a struggle, debts and bills are duly paid. And we are a blessing to others. In the Bible God says, Blessed is the man that fears the Lord and delights greatly in the commandments. You must realize that God is the source of all blessings. He is the source from whom all things were created. The word of God is like medicine for your spiritual life. The more you read from God’s word, you will be healed of your sickness or disease if any. God is blessing you with good health.
There are several barriers that stand as obstructions for your progress or your achievements in life. It prevents you from moving forward. But every hindrance that obstructs you from going forward is being broken right now. God is going to level all the hills and mounds in your life. God is going to release peace in all your families. Your houses must be like a small heaven. Then, as the dew of Hermon and as the dew that descends on the mountains of Zion the Lord will pour out His Blessings upon you. The “’Dew ”refers to God’s blessings. May God give you the Dew of Heaven, and of the fatness of the earth. And plenty of grain and wine. God says, I will be like the dew to Israel, He shall blossom, like the lily. He shall take root like the trees of Lebanon. May the Lord help you to be blessed like the dew of Hermon. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for helping us to grow like the palm tree, and be rooted like the Cedar in Lebanon. Thank you Lord for blessing our family in the coming year, as you have blessed us this year. May we spread the fragrance of Christ and His beauty everywhere we go. Grant us grace and favour in your sight that we may inherit all the blessings you have promised in the word of God.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Ezekiel 47:12, “’And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God is saying that the blessing you need for you and your family is flowing from the sanctuary of God and when you see the rivers of blessing flowing into your houses you shall receive all kinds of fruits month after month. You will also bear fruit when the blessing of water flows from the sanctuary into your houses. When the anointing of the Holy Spirit is being poured upon you like rivers of water then you will bring forth varieties of fruits.
The word of God says, trees that grow on the bank side of the river are lushly and green and their leaves never wither. They never dry up. And the fruit of the tree shall you eat thereof which means you will be enriched by the word of God that flows from the sanctuary or the mouth of God and in turn you shall spread God’s word all abroad. We realize that the promises of the sacred word of God and the privileges of believers are communicated to the souls by the quickening of the spirit. The rich word of God nourishes and delights the souls of men. They never fade nor wither, nor are exhausted. While the trees provide fruits the leaves serve as medicines to the souls. The warnings and reproofs tend to heal the disease of the souls.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Christ is the Temple, and He is the door. From him the living waters flow from his sanctuary. They are increasing waters, that help in the growth of the tree. Just as the waters flow deep to help in the growth of the trees, you should be nourished in the word of God to produce spiritual food. As food helps man to grow strong physically, spiritual food is essential for a person to grow strong in the Lord. For all the scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction for instruction in righteousness. That the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. Even Apostle Paul encourages believers through his Epistle to Timothy, saying “Do your best to present yourself to God as one, approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of Truth.”
My Dear brothers and Sisters, through the above passage, we learn that you and your family will experience a great change in your life. God will bring about a great prosperity in your life. Because the Word of God says, “He who trusts in the Lord will prosper.”And a faithful man will abound with blessings. Trees yield fruits. What kind of fruits, Fruits of income, fruits of wealth, financial resource, fruits that yield family blessing, which means you will be blessed with children. God is opening new ways and means to help you meet all your needs. Your income will not be wasted in unnecessary things. Means to make your living will be provided through these trees. And the fruits of the trees will not grow spoilt. They will be delicious both to your body as well as your souls. Therefore strengthen yourselves in the Lord. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for telling us that we ought to be well equipped with the word of God. And abide by the word of God correctly. Help us to grow trees that would bring good fruits. Fruits that will strengthen our body, soul and spirit.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Deuteronomy, 5:16, “ Honour Your Father and your Mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, that your days may be long and that it may be well with you, in the land, which the Lord your God is giving you.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context, we understand that God expects that we honour our father and mother. The Bible says, every person must respect his mother and his father. Apostle Paul to the church of Colossae, admonishes that not only adults but children too need to obey their parents in all things, for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. The Bible says, “Honour Your father and mother and he who speaks evil of father or mother, will be punished.” Again it says, “Honour your father and mother, that your days, may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you.”This shows that God is very much concerned about parents and their relationship with their children.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, who are reading this message, do you want to be blessed in your life, and then you must obey your parents. Only then you will be blessed by God. Never argue with your parents. Never put conditions to them. God will not be pleased with it. If God should be pleased with you, then honour your father, and mother and keep them happy then you will be blessed. Think if you have cheerfully obeyed all the instructions of your parents? Whether you have loved and honoured your parents? Did you meet all their wants? Have you behaved with your parents with all gentleness and affection? Have you prayed for them ?
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, We need to create positive thoughts about our parents. Understand where they originally come from, their family background. When you inquire about their family details they will be so pleased to share their thoughts and views. Create an interest in knowing them fully well. Talk to them constantly, Express your gratitude to them and appreciate every little thing they do for you. Always have loving and forgiving spirit towards your parents, and forgive them if they seem to have wronged you in any way. Many of you are longing to hear the voice of God. You want God to speak to you. Sometimes you approach saints and prophets to inquire if God would speak to you or if you could listen to the voice of God.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God is speaking to you through this message, regarding your relationship with your parents, and God. You may be wondering if God would talk to you regarding your future, or about the plan of God for your life. Once God comes into your life, then surely He will talk to you about your future. God promises you the same assurance which God made to Jacob. “Behold I am with you, And will keep you wherever you go. I will bring you back into this land. I will not leave you, until I have done what I have spoken to you.” Which means whatever plans God has for you, will be fulfilled according to His time. He will liberate you from the problems that you are entangled with. God will not only protect you, but also bless you with a bright future. He will never leave you nor forget you. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Help us to be obedient to our parents. Teach us to honour and respect our parents. To treat them well and keep them happy especially when they grow old. Never to neglect them, argue or put conditions to them rather be kind and helpful to them. May we forgive them and show love and care for them.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Genesis 28:15 “Behold I am with you and will keep you wherever you go. And will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, wherever we are, we are safe if we have God’s favourable presence with us. The Lord whom we worship respects each one of us. He is a great creator. He is an Almighty God. The Earth or the World could not contain Him. He has authority over heaven and Earth. Such a great God, respects the ordinary man. Or in other words is mindful of man. God likewise expects us to respect others. We are nothing when we compare ourselves to God. Yet He loves us and wants to have relationship with us. We see now a days that man wants to have relationship with similar people. God does not look for status. He has no partiality. He treats the rich and the poor alike.
My Dear brothers and Sisters, We see in the Bible, a young man, Jacob who experiences personal relationship with God Almighty. One day his parents Isaac, and his mother Rebecca, called Jacob blessed him and asked him to go to his uncles place, to make his livelihood. Being young he had to take up some job and help himself for his survival. In those days rearing sheep was the main occupation. Jacob was an obedient son to his parents. He did not receive any money or take his share of wealth or any investment to start his business but just received the blessings of his parents and departed to his uncle’s place. He considered the blessing of his parents more valuable than anything else. We see that the blessing of parents is so important, if one must be blessed by God. The Bible says, he acquired all the blessing from his father Isaac. As a result Jacob feared his brother Easu, who wanted to kill him.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Jacob never argued with his parents or questioned his parents about leaving to his uncles place. He honoured and Respected his parents He was a humble man. So God was pleased with him. Whether Jacob knew or not, about the presence of the Almighty, God was with him. He had chosen him even before the foundation of the world. Now that he feared his brother he was in trouble, obliged to flee, so he looked up only to God, to make him dwell in safety. He had to take up a long journey from Canaan to an unknown country. He was prepared to lie down and sleep in the open air, with his head upon a stone. God’s time to visit his people with His comforts is when they are most destitute of their comforts.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God gives his people graces and comforts, accommodated to the events that shall be, as well as to those that are. Jacob at that point of time was forsaken by all, even by his own family members. God foresaw what hardship Jacob would face in that strange land especially in his uncles service. So God promises to keep him. God visited him while he was asleep. He saw a ladder, which reached from earth to heaven. The angels were going up and down and God himself, was at the head of it. Christ is the way to God. All God’s favours come to us from God through Christ. All the glad tidings we receive from heaven come through Christ. God assures him saying” Behold I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go. And will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.”God was mindful of him. So he says, I will not leave you nor forsake you. Whom God loves, he never leaves. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for telling us the importance of getting the blessing of our parents. Help us to be obedient to our parents and also to honour them. Make us a blessing to others. Teach us to have a personal relationship with God as Jacob had. Accommodate us with your graces and comforts when we are forsaken by all.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Isaiah 53:3, “ He is despised and rejected by men. A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief, And we hid as it were, our faces from Him. He was despised and we did not esteem Him.”
Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we come to understand that the Lord Jesus Christ was nailed on the cross for you and me. He was rejected and despised by mankind. He was rejected that you should not be rejected and despised by others. The Lord is speaking prophetically to you through this message that whoever has rejected and despised you and has therefore caused misery and anguish in your life, and have pained your heart, then God will bring them back to you and surrender to you.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, It may be your debtors, who lent money to you, your own relatives, or any other person. Whoever it may be they will one day, repent of their wrong doings, and come back to you. God will change their minds and help them come back to you. That is why Jesus hung on the cross rejected and despised for you.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Your own husband or your own wife might have despised you. They may not be listening to what you have to say. The wife complaints that her husband has despised her. And the husband says that his wife has despised him. All this occurs in the family because there is no true love between them. One hates the other. This is the state of many families. But Christ hung on the cross for you and me, just to bring peace and harmony between husbands and wives in the families. God is good all the time. He is watching your tears. God is soon going to bring about a change in the life of your husband, or your wife. May be soon after your reading/you read, the message, you will see a change in their life.
Similarly if you happen to be a boss, of a company or doing business, kindly don’t mistreat your workers, employees, working under you. Never despise or reject them, for they too have same feelings like you. Mother in laws, never mistreat your daughter in laws. Treat them like your own daughters then God will do wonders in your life. He will be pleased with you. May God help you to esteem others better than yourselves. Remember that God was a “Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief just because he wanted you to enjoy the fullness of your life. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for opening our eyes to the truth, that You hung on the cross rejected and despised in order to save mankind. Lord help us to love and respect one another’s feelings and never to reject or despise anybody. May we learn to live in harmony and in peace.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
