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 John 5:5-6 “’Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity for thirty eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?”’
In a way we are all by nature mute to spiritual things. We may be blind and withered but God has provision for our cure if we attend to it. There was a pool by the name of Bethesda in Jerusalem, which means house of mercy. Jesus performed miracles to those who came to this pool for mercy. All those who were sick surrounded the pool. A multitude of people namely the lame, blind, paralyzed and those with other disease flocked around the pool. Every day they would wait patiently for the angel to descend into the pool. Usually an angel went down and stirred the water and whatever disease it was, this water cured it. But only he that stepped first into the pool had the benefit of being healed. So no one with a disease would ever miss the chance of getting into the pool.
Jesus made a note of this man of infirmity who was lying there for thirty eight years. When Jesus saw him in such a helpless condition, Jesus took pity on him. He was lying there among the throng of sufferers, every sorrow of every heart, revealed that his life had been marred by the curse of sin. Jesus on that day came in search of him, and asked him “Do you want to be made well?”The man confessed that there was no one to help him get into the pool, when the angel stirred up the water. Jesus knowing his helpless condition said to him “Get up, take up your bed and walk”. And immediately the man became healed. It was a joyful surprise to the poor cripple to find himself with a sudden change in his limbs.
Jesus came to preach good tidings to the poor. He came to heal the broken hearted to proclaim liberty to the captives. He came to save that which was lost. Here was a man who was diseased for thirty eight years. But in a moment God healed him. And he went home liberated.
God wants to liberate you of whatever is holding you back. God is willing to heal you, right now. All you need to do is to submit yourself to Him. The period of time is not a matter, for God. He will rescue you at His appointed time.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. We are thankful to You Lord, for the healing touch of Your hand. You are sympathetic and kind, towards the poor. You heal the sick and the downtrodden. We exalt Your Holy name. We praise you for healing the sick man at the pool of Bethesda. Heal us of our infirmities. 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.”
Often times, God will send an angel before us to take care of us, to keep us, wherever we go and will not leave us until He fulfills all that He has promised to do for us. It is an encouragement for every child of God to be reminded so emphatically that the Lord is caring of us, and watching over us. No matter where we go there is nowhere we can run to where he will not be.
Our God is a God of promise. For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and Amen, to the glory of God through us. I was preaching the word of God in an Anbarin Padathil Oru Naal meeting one saturday. I said, ‘God will bring into your life, favour and kindness. God will reunite all separated families, just as Joseph and Mary. When Joseph knew that his betrothed wife was already pregnant he tried to put her aside. But an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream, and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid, to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a son, and you shall call his name, Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. ” So Joseph did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife.’ I continued to preach in that meeting saying that similarly an angel has already gone out from the presence of God to perform a miracle for a separated couple.
Later that month, I received an email from a sister, stating that she was pleased by the message, hearing that an angel had gone to perform a miracle amidst separated couples and to reunite them in their family life. She believed that the angel would surely visit her daughter in law and convince her of the importance of living together with her son who was in deep distress. Her daughter in law had gone to her mother’s house for delivery, but even after she had delivered a baby she did not inform her husband and did not return back to him. This sister was in deep distress over the issue. After attending the meeting, she had gone back to her home. To her surprise after some time, the daughter in law had come to her home with the baby. It was a thrilling moment to her family. They simply couldn’t believe their eyes. She stated in her mail “Brother I didn’t know that things will happen so soon.” Our God is a wonder working God indeed. He did just as he had spoken through his servant.
Yes my dear child, as you are reading this, may God send his angels to minister unto you to guard you and protect you and also to solve all your problems for He is mindful of you and your children. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. We thank you for being the wonder working and promise keeping God that you are. We praise you, glorify you and magnify you.
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 Exodus 34:10. “Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you.”
From the above passage we see that God makes a covenant with His people. He tells them that all the old things have passed away. Behold all things have become new. He will perform wonders in your life as never before. As you are reading this message with great expectation. You expect, new hope, new anointing, new power, [strength] the Lord has crowned you with His goodness, and grace. It is not only to bless you but to show you God’s mighty power and His awesome work. As he did to the people of Israel. In this world you will have problems, tribulation , burden of debts, a lot of pressure, a tight situation and sicknesses, But you have a God in the midst of you , who has power to change all the situation by sending just one word. For He is a God of wonders. God is making an agreement with you. God is making a promise to you. For He is a covenant making God. If you hold on to God then it will be a period of blessing to you and your family. Only if God holds your hand and walks with you there will be wonders in your business, there will be wonders in your ministry, there will be wonders in your family, and there will be wonders in your children’ lives. God is holding your hand with that of His nail printed hands. The Lord says, “I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders as never before. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you. Hallelujah!
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You Lord for performing miracles. We praise You because You did wonders and brought the people of Israel out of Egypt. You are a wonder working God. You do wonders beyond numbers. We praise Your holy name. Sanctify us Lord with Your precious blood. And help us also to see such wonders in our life.
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 for you today is from the book ofIsaiah 54:17 No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.”
When you think of what God has done for you, do you joyfully think of your blessings or does it seem like something is stopping you from receiving them? If you are not able to think about His goodness or you are not able to rejoice in God’s work then there is some satanic bondage that is stopping you to receive God’s blessings. You may be worried that you don’t know what is happening in your life. Today God says that “There is no Divination against Jacob and no evil Omens against Israel” It will now be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘See what God has done!’This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from Me,” declares the Lord. Whatever evil bondage has chained all your blessings until now, God is going to break those chains and set you free.
Sometimes you may suffer great sickness in your body this is because of evil bondage. Once Jesus was teaching in the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all.When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God. In the same manner God will cure you today.
The Lord says,, he will let the enemies who rise up against you be defeated before you. They will come against you from one direction but flee from you in seven direction. God will rebuke all the evils that brought you shame. Your failures, your debts, or your diseases would have brought shame to you, whatever it is. The Lord is your King He will not allow your heads to be put to shame. God brought the people of Israel, out of Egypt; they had the strength of a wild ox. God gave the strength of a wild ox to the people of Israel while they departed from the land of Egypt. They could devour hostile nations and break their bones in pieces; with their arrows that pierced them. Likewise, today you would have lost your strength in spirit and body but God is going to bless you with the strength of a wild ox.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed
day. Lord, bless us with your goodness.
Never let us grow weary because of the outbreak of the deadly plague.
Heal everyone suffering over the loss they go through. Be merciful to us and
forgive all our sinful nature and save us from the plague. We claim the blood of
Jesus today to break all the chains of bondages, deliver us and make
us free from all our captivities.
In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
My dearly beloved in Christ. I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Let us turn our attention to a special Bible fact today. The phrase “Fear not” has been mentioned 365 times in the Bible. This year has begun with the spreading of a fearful disease. It may seem like the future is uncertain and fear may be beginning to creep in but know this dear one- Our God is above any sickness known to man. God is not surprised that this has happened. He already knew this was coming. He already knew how it would spread. He also knows that there will be a solution for it soon. In the meantime, our job is to stay strong in faith. Even more than before. We need to be wise and do what is necessary to protect ourselves but at the same time we must not let fear control our decisions. I urge you to go about your day for these next seven days in full prayer. God has given us this time to repent of our sins and spend more time at his feet. Every time you hear troubling news, run to God in prayer, let not your hearts be filled with anxiety but instead let us fill our hearts with the word of God. I encourage you to read Psalms 91 out loud daily along with your whole family.
2 Timothy 1:7 says For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Power: We as christians have the power to build others up during this time. Phone call your friends and neighbours. Share encouraging scriptures with them. If they don’t know about Christ and are crippled with fear, talk to them about Jesus, tell them about your testimonies and say the same God will deliver them from whatever they are going through.
Love: It is easy to only think of ourselves and our immediate family during this time. But let us begin to pray with love for our state, our country and the world as a whole. Let us show love to the people we meet during the day. Even when there is chaos in the supermarket, may we find help from God to be kind to the people around us even though fear makes other people behave rudely sometimes
Sound mind: Let us ask God for divine wisdom as to how to ration out the provisions we have, what to do with our investments and finances and other matters that we need his help in. Only he can guide us when we make difficult decisions that affect our family.
So dear reader, I hope you have been strengthened in spirit and as you get ready to face this week know that God’s grace and mercies are new every morning.
Prayer: Dear God in heaven. Even though it is difficult to see the future help me to blindly trust in you as I come to you desperate for hope during these fearful times. Fill me up with divine strength and courage as I go through every day. Be with me and protect my family. I pray for everyone who is in their sickbeds during this time, heal them O Lord, deliver them from this sickness. I pray that you will guide all the medical professionals and soon bring a cure for this disease. In your mighty name we pray.
Amen
