I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Who is our Creator, Maker, and Unforgettable God. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Luke 1:68,69,74,75 “ Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for He hath visited and redeemed his people, And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; As he spoke of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.”
From the above passage we come to understand that Zacharias the High Priest highlights Jesus as the Horn of Salvation. For through His birth He has come to visit His people Israel and to redeem them from their enemies. His people indicate you and me. While we are living in a period where children fail to recognize their own parents and feel so ashamed to call them as their own, Our heavenly Father has called us, as His beloved sons and daughters. As His own Children, Isn’t this amazing? Redemption means to deliver someone from being caught up in a horrible snare. Yes, Jesus came to save that which was lost and to deliver those in darkness. God has raised up a Horn of Salvation” to save us through His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ. Who was born to die on the cross and thus redeem us from the schemes of the unseen enemy Satan. Hence we need to serve Him in Holiness and Righteousness all the days of our life.
We are surrounded with many enemies whom we can see with our eyes. But there are many enemies, whom we cannot see. They are the works of the evil one, Satan. You may be trapped in the arms of sorcery, witchcraft, and other evil spirit. You are unable to come out of all these bondages. God has sent His Son to deliver you from, these unseen enemies. Then, there are some who hate you for no reason, They simply blame you or rebuke you and cause unnecessary trouble to you. God has sent Jesus to save you from the hands of such cruel people, who pose to be so good and friendly with you on the outside, but deep inside their heart, they hate you bitterly. I see in my spirit many children sitting in the dark due to depression. This is because of evil spirit. They do not like to expose themselves in the light. But God wants to bring out your children who are hiding in the dark, to the marvellous light.
The marvellous light (Jesus Christ) was born in Bethlehem, in order that He might be born inside of our heart, and reign in us and change us completely that the darkness would disappear, and we would once again shine as a bright light. Just as Jesus was revealed as the Glory of Israel, God wants to bless us to live a successful life.
In the Bible there was an old man Simeon to whom God had promised that He would see the baby Jesus before his death. Simeon was a righteous man who lived in the midst of a rebellious nation Israel. The Spirit of God was on this dear man whom God had chosen to prophesy of the arrival of the Light of the world – the true Light which lights every man that is born into this world. He was to prophecy that this child would be a light to lighten the gentiles, that is to give the Gospel to (the ungodly people) and would be the glory of God’s people, Israel. When Simeon saw Mary and Joseph in the temple, and the baby Jesus, his heart was stirred by the Holy Spirit so that he took the baby in his arms and said, “For my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples – a light of revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel.”
God sent His Son Jesus to redeem you from the bondage of sin and grant you His Salvation. What do you want to gift Jesus on His Birthday? He wants your heart. Will you give Him your heart? Because it is the heart that is deceitful and God expects a change in your heart, in your mind. He is looking for a heart of forgiveness. A heart that would accept Jesus as your Personal Saviour, Make Him glad, by giving your heart, for this will be the best gift that you can offer unto the Lord God of Israel. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for Zacharias the High Priest who highlights Jesus as the Horn of Salvation. And for the wonderful witness of Simeon, who demonstrated a childlike trust in You and expected Your word to be fulfilled in his life. Thank You Lord, for Jesus, who came as the Light to the gentiles and we thank You for the Light of His love and forgiveness which makes your heart to shine from within and has saved you by His grace through faith in Him.
In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
I greet and bless you all in the matchless name of our maker and creator Jesus Christ who will never forget us. Even as you read this blessed word, your spiritual eyes will be opened, and you will have visions of angels in your home. Unexpected blessings will come in search of you! God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go, defending you from all harm, they will be there for you and keep you from stumbling (Psalm 91:11,12). Your days of mourning shall come to an end (Isaiah 60:20).
“Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared”(Exodus 23:20).
An angel sent by God during this Christmas season will be on a mission to bring good news of great joy.
A group of tired shepherds after having toiled the whole day grazing their sheep were warding off the cold of the night by sitting in front of the fire. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and an Angel came down – seeing this they were terrified. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.”
Again, the heavens were opened and now a multitude of angels came down. These angels are referred to as “Heavenly hosts”. They were praising God, “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”(Luke 2:10-14).
Yes, there will be good news which will bring great joy to everyone in your family. Peace will be born in your families.
Beloved, December is a month where we praise our God. Let us recollect every blessing we have received from God these past 11 months and thank and praise God. This will release more good events and blessings from our Lord in the coming year.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you for always being as ‘Immanuel’, removing their solitude, saving them, and prospering them. Make them ecstatic by being born during this Christmas season in their hearts and homes. Let your grace help them to joyfully celebrate this Christmas as a family.
In Jesus name.
Amen.
I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Zachariah 2:5, “For I, says the Lord, will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.”
From the above context we understand that, God wants to encamp round about his temple Jerusalem, because of the enemy. God will be a wall of fire around about to terrify and destroy her enemies, for our God is a consuming fire. God himself wants to be a wall of fire, so that his people might be safe. Hence they need not fear the wrath of their enemies. For if God is on their side then who can be against them? God says, My Word shall be unto her as a wall, of fire, encompassing her round about.
God has come down in a marvellous, manner this morning to protect you and your family. He is mindful of you. He knows what you are, going through, the ups and down in your life. He knows that you are being surrounded by enemies, who prevent you from moving forward in your studies, in your business, in your career, or even in your family life. The enemy, wants to intrude into your life and spoil the peace and harmony of your life.
God found Noah to be the most righteous man, perfect in his generation, and Noah walked with God, Therefore God blessed him and his family and protected them from the floods that destroyed the earth. Similarly God wants to protect you and your family from the condemnation of this world. The scripture plainly declares, that there is therefore no condemnation to them, that are in Christ Jesus. That means, they walk with Christ each day of their life. Such people God encircles them as a wall of fire, and God will be the glory in the midst of Israel.
God is sending a peaceful wind to sweep over your family. He is spreading a wind of peace over your business, over your business centre, work spot, and your ministry so that all the turbulence in your life, can come to an end. God wants to give you another opportunity. May be you have lost all your wealth, property, your name, fame and health. But God wants to rejuvenate and restart your life. God is destroying every weapon formed against you and releasing you from all bondages that you are caught up with. Satan has planned to destroy you and your business, but God has planned to flourish and prosper you and your business. God is providing a hedge of protection around you and your family. He surrounds you with a wall of fire all around you to protect and safeguard you. May God help you to be within the protection of God.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for protecting us from the hands of our enemies. Help us to be just and righteous in our life that we may receive the blessing of God. Surround us with a wall of fire and safeguard us from all our foes. Make us successful in all the work that we do, in our studies, career, and family life.
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 Esther 9:1, “Now in the twelfth month, that is the month of Adar, On the thirteenth day, The time came for the kings command. And his decree to be executed. On the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, the opposite occurred in that the Jews themselves overpowered those who hated them.”
“My Dear Brothers and Sisters from the above context we realize that King Ahasarus ruled over 127 countries, He was a powerful ruler. He ruled from India, to Ethiopia. Many different kinds of people lived in these nations. And the Jews were spread across these 127 nations. The ruling government then issued an order, saying that on a particular day, at this particular time, the law will be implemented.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Similarly a law was passed stating that all the Jews should be killed in the twelfth month Adar, on the thirteenth day. All the Jews sat mourning over the decree about the death sentence passed against them. They trembled to hear the decree about the death. They were filled with fear, and anguish. All the Jews in these nations gathered together. There is only one opportunity to change or alter this situation. They knew that only God could bring about the change. So they fasted three days, and prayed earnestly for the king to change the law.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, The Kings commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution that on the thirteenth day, of the twelfth month all the Jews should be killed. Great expectation there was, no doubt, of this day and the issue of it. The Jews cause was to be tried, by the court of Shushan and the day was fixed for the combat by the authority. Their enemies resolved not to lose the opportunity given to them. They were with much hope to overpower the Jews.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, On the other hand, the Jews relied on the goodness of their God and justice, of their cause and resolved to make their utmost efforts against their enemies. Queen Esther boldly entered into the presence of the king and requested the king to change the law in favour of her people. The King was prepared to do anything for her so he altered the law in favour of the Jews at the last minute. Finally the day came, and we learn that it was a day, of great victory and triumph to the Jews both in the city of Sushan and in all provinces.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, The day which was selected by Haman with great industry and art as the luckiest day, turned out to be the unluckiest day, for Haman and the people of Sushan. The people of Sushan who were drenched in fear, began to rejoice at the verdict passed by the king. In the same way God can bring about a great change in your life too. Whatever problem you may be going through, God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or think or pray. Our God can change the very situation of your life in your favour and just the opposite will occur. It is an easy thing for the Lord to do. So don’t be afraid. Trust in Jesus. He will set you free from every bondage.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you for hearing the cry of the Jews and answering their prayer. Thank you for helping queen Esther to be bold and enter into the presence of king Ahasarus and intercede on behalf of her people and thus change the very course of the history of the Jews. Thank you for turning their sorrow into joy.
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 Psalm 66:5 , “Through You we will push down our enemies. Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.”
From the above context we see the sufferings of David, being vividly described, which says, “’Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water” refers to the kind of trials and affliction he experienced in his life.
“ David believed that “Through God’s help he will push down his enemies. And Through the Name of Jehovah, he will trample all those who rise up against him. ” David was one such person who relied on God and trusted Him for all his purpose. He was being chased by his own uncle, King Saul who gathered three thousand men to capture a single man. God had disapproved Saul of being the king of Israel as he disobeyed God. The Bible says, (King Saul disguised himself and approached a woman (witch of Endor) who was practicing witch craft to rise up the Prophet Samuel who was dead. )
David was being chased by Saul and his army as one who hunts a partridge in the mountains. David was hiding among the hills and caves and mountains. And God directed him to escape to the temple of God. So He ran to the temple of God, there he sang a song, saying “You have caused men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water; But You brought us out to rich fulfilment.” He entered the temple of God singing and praising God, with burnt offering and paid his vows. He tells the Lord that he could not battle anymore against his enemies and surrenders to the God of Compassion. The moment he surrendered his life (himself ) to God, the Lord began to fight for him. While Saul was in the battle of Mount Gilboa, he fell over his sword and killed himself. Absalom, who rebelled against his father David, was killed during the battle of Ephraim’s Wood against the Philistines. Soon after the death of King Saul and Absalom David established himself as the king of Israel and ruled for nearly forty years both Israel and Judah. David thus put down his enemies.
Many of you who are reading this message, may be fed up of your lives. Because of your own people, who is a constant threat to you. They Search for you, to destroy you and your children. Some of them are trying to separate your children from you. You have not found any justice for all your good deeds in your life. Therefore you have become vexed with your own self, your own life. You don’t even find any sign of justice being done to you. Though it looks as if there is no sign of justice being done for you, a time will surely come when God will intervene and do you justice. Everything, every situation, all the people so close to you may seem to come against you all of a sudden. Yet God of Compassion, will come when you never expect Him and He will perform a miracle for you. He will turn everything in favour of you. Many may come against you. They come to spoil your peace joy, your happiness and cause menace in your life by probing into your family matters, and endanger your own lives. But the moment you call upon Jesus Christ, God will come to your aid and help you from all your difficulties. He will change all things in favour of you. So do not worry, but cast your burden upon the Lord, for he will never allow the righteous to be moved, instead, He will care for you. And will sustain you. May the Lord do justice to you today.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for doing justice to David. Though he struggled for his life yet in the end he emerged victorious. Likewise turn all things in favour of us, for we solely depend upon you for our sustenance. Prevent our enemies from coming to our homes. Give us the discernment to understand and avoid such intruders, who step into our homes to deliberately cause trouble to us.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
