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 48:17 ““The holy God of Israel, the LORD who saves you, says: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.”
From the above context we understand that our God teaches us to be wealthy. He teaches us how to make profit in all walks of life. May be in your business, to work brilliantly at your work spot, and excel in your education, progress in any profession. He also leads you by the way you should go. In the Bible God says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will guide you with My eye.”What more do you want? If you make such a God as your portion then you can obtain whatever you expect from him. The God of wonders is within you. And so you have a great wealth that you could not afford to lose it. He is Jesus Christ. He operates in you through the Holy Spirit. Un seen God present within you is a comforter, Jesus sent after his resurrection.
The Lord, the Holy One of Israel, who rescued His people from enslavement in Egypt, is the same Almighty God who graciously redeemed us from the slavery of sin, the moment we believed in Him. “Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, ‘I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go. He is the One who promised to teach the people of Israel those things that would benefit them, in their daily life. And He is the same Lord Who has promised to guide us into the way of truth, direct us through deep valleys of darkness and uphold us with His righteous right hand, as we climb the hills of difficulty that crop up in our earthly way.
The same Spirit of God who led the people of Israel through the desert, and rained down manna from heaven and opened the river Jordan so that they could enter the promised land, is the same Holy Spirit Who teaches and trains us in the way we should go. He guards and guides us during our sojourn on earth. The Holy Spirit who guided the children of Israel through the desert is the same Spirit of God Who guides us along the path that is best for each one of us as we tread along the journey even if it is sometimes uncomfortable or difficult. The Spirit-filled words of Isaiah were an encouragement to the people of Israel, who were suffering affliction during their journey to the Promised Land. And it is the same Holy Spirit that speaks to us and gently leads us through the peaks and pitfalls of this worldly system.
God convicts us of our sin and saves and sanctifies our souls, guiding us along the path of duty, and instructing us on the highway of righteousness, and bearing us up on eagle’s wings through times of exhaustion. He is the One Who protects us in the way of affliction, He guides us into all truth, by speaking to us through the word of God, and He is the One that unveils the gracious character of God, teaching us to live a life that’s pleasing to Him. It Is the Holy Spirit, who points us to Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
“Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, ‘I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go.'”
You might have lost your house or your job, or all that you consider as wealth during this period of lockdown. Many would have lost your dear ones and still grieve over their demise. They were all the wealth you possessed. Now you seem to be left alone. But you have not lost the one who grants all the wealth. If God is with you then you are blessed. In case God is not with you then your conscience would be spoilt, and your days would have come to an end. But when you have begun to search for God, it is an indication that God is within you. He is your wealth and He is your portion, as long as you have not lost Him. And since he is within you, it is possible for you to get all that you desire in life. The Bible says, You shall remember the Lord, your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You, Father, that You are our Guide and Defender, our Rock and our Stay. Thank You, because You remain the same even today as You were when You led the children of Israel through their times of difficulties and oppression. Give us a teachable spirit, listening ears, and an attentive heart so that we may learn all that Your Holy Spirit desires to teach us. And continue to guide us in the way that is best for us.
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 66:13, “As One whom his mother comforts so I will comfort you, and You shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”
“My Dear Brothers and Sisters from the above context we know that Pastors and Ministers are instruments of God and are of great comfort to those who are grief stricken. Yet God is the sole efficient cause of comfort to mankind. Since He is an immense and infinite Being possessed of all perfections and yet revives the spirit of the humble and contrite; as He is the Maker of heaven and Earth and all things and those whom He comforts are, ordinary dust and ashes, moreover, He is just and righteous. Though people are ungodly and guilty of backsliding and sometimes revolting against God Himself. Yet He comforts them as He has loved them with an everlasting love, and has given His only begotten son, for them and quickens them though they remain dead in sin.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, we read that just as a Father pities his children So the Lord pities those that fear Him. Today God says, I will comfort you just as your mother comforts you. In the worldly sense, there is no other greater character who can comfort us more than a mother. Because a mother carries her child within her womb for ten long months and also suffers from pain while begetting her child. During her pregnancy she cannot sleep peacefully. She suffers from vomiting and she is not even able to eat what she desires during the time of her pregnancy. She cannot run about and do her work as she likes. Sometimes she struggles to breathe. Some suffer from giddiness. She patiently goes through all these issues before she delivers her baby. She is cautious about her baby in the womb and takes great care till she brings forth her baby.
My Dear brothers and Sisters, Passing all these hurdles she sacrifices almost ten months to give birth to her child. Similarly after the baby is born she is not able to bear any problem that her child undergoes. Sometimes the baby might fall down from the bed or cradle she immediately runs to pickup her child, carries in her arms and hugs and kisses the fallen child. That is the love and comfort a mother shares. There is much more one could mention about a mother. In the same manner our God takes great care of us and comforts us throughout our lifetime. Our God is the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in our troubles. He says, “ Look I shall not leave you as orphans. I will come to you.”David says, Lord when I was troubled within my heart, Your consolation brought me great joy. God further consoles us by saying, “I even I am He who comforts you. Who are you that you should be afraid, of a man who will die? And the son of man who will be made like grass?
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, What more do you need when you have a God on your side. I know many who read this message are going through various troubles, in your life. Apostle Paul encourages us by saying If God is on our side then who can be against us? This is the assurance you need to have as a Child of God. Remember in this world you will have tribulation, but take heart God has overcome the world. May the Lord comfort you. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for revealing to us the greatness of a Mother. And that You comfort us as a Mother comforts her child. We praise You Lord for comforting us at times of troubles. Give us the strength to overcome our grief and sorrow by holding on to You. Help many to be good mothers to their children. Grant them the grace to grow their children in the fear of God.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved, 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 Numbers 24:8, “God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn, he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.”hi
From the above context we learn that God brought the people of Israel out of Egypt, who were in bondage for nearly 430 years, as slaves under the Egyptian task masters. The very word “Egypt”’ reminds us of slavery. God gave his people the strength of an unicorn so that they will be able to fight all the nations that came up against them on their way to the land of Canaan. God gave His people an unknown strength so that they would break their bones and pierce them through with his arrows.
The term “Egypt” denotes slavery and oppression. Today even you are subjected to some kind of slavery. You may be a slave under your master or your boss or some person, from whom you have borrowed some money. You may be a slave to some type of character, or cult or habit, of yours, or to some kind of sinful activities. You may be addicted to drugs or you might be a chain smoker, and you are unable to free yourself from, such bondage. You may be bound by huge debts, and you are not in a position to pay back your dues or you may be a slave to some kind of illness.
Today while you are reading this message, I wish to say, that whatever type of slavery you may be bound by, God is going to deliver you. Set you free and liberate you. When God liberated the people of Israel from the land of Egypt, He blessed them with strength, of the Unicorn, and brought them out, so that no one could prevail against them. The Egyptian task masters treated them very badly. So these people looked up to God in heaven, and cried up to Him. The Lord called Moses the Deliverer and said, to him, I have surely seen, the oppression of My people, who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry, because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.”Similarly God knows your sorrows too. He has seen you crying within the four walls of your house. Do not be worried or dismayed. Be strong and of good courage, because the Lord will deliver you out of all your hurdles. He will deliver you, your family and also your children from slavery and oppression.
God is delivering you from all your misery and obstacles through this message. God wants to comfort you by His word. You seem to be asking God, when all these problems will come to an end. Will I not be able to come out of my debts, Will not my child give up his bad habit. Will he not come out of his sinful activities? God wants to wipe away your tears, so He is taking every step to deliver you and your children from all your troubles. You are rather scared as to what might become of you, since there is no one to help you. If God decides, He can save you in a second. He will open the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places. He will gird you and make peace in your borders.
May be until today people from whom you borrowed money might have been threatening you, but hereafter they will be in good terms with you. God will grant you favour in the sight of others, He will open ways and means for you to close all your debts. Your problem which seemed to be huge and disastrous will end up peacefully. God is speaking to you prophetically, through this message that you trusted someone and gave a blank cheque for having borrowed very meagre amount of money, or you had given a blank promissory note, but now he has filed a case in the court, against you saying that you have borrowed very huge sum of money, and have failed to repay the loan. Do not be afraid. Just hold on to Jesus. For God says, “Present your cases. Bring forth your strong reasons. I will do justice for you.” When you totally surrender you life and your problems to the Lord, He will rise up for you. He will defend you. He will fight for you. So put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. He will keep you through. Though the storms may rage and the winds may blow He will keep you sailing on. So do not fret or fear. Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank you for such an encouraging message. Thank You for speaking words of comfort. We bless Your Holy Name. You have delivered us from all our debts, sickness and other problems. You have set us free from bondage and liberated not only us but also our children from every evil practice. Give us the strength to hold on to You when we go through trials and tribulations.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
My dear Brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given you for today is from the book of, 2 Kings 4:6 “Now it came to pass when the vessels were full that she said, to her son, “Bring me another vessel.“And he said, to her there is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we read about the incident of a widow who was the wife of a prophet. The Prophet had left behind a huge debt and she had to pay back a large sum of money. The creditors often troubled her and threatened her that he would take away her sons if she failed to pay back the dues. She was rather scared of them and she did not wish to part her two sons from her. She was going through a painful trouble. So she ran to the prophet Elisha and cried out to him for help. So Elisha said to her, “What do you have in the house? The woman replied that she had nothing other than a jar of oil with her. Then he said to her “ Go borrow vessels from everywhere. From all your neighbours-empty vessels, do not gather just a few.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Prophet Elisha told her that once she collected all the vessels, she should shut the door behind her and her sons, then pour it into all the vessels, and set aside the full ones. Now it came to pass when the vessels were full that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” “And he said, to her there is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased. ’ The oil stopped pouring out until all the vessels in the village had been filled with oil. Then she went and told the man of God that she had filled all the vessels that she had borrowed. And he said, “Now go and sell the oil and pay your debt. And you and your sons live on the rest.” Just as she was directed she sold the oil and paid the debts. Thus she saved her two sons from the creditors cruel hands. She not only cleared the debts but also provided for her sons and their future.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God is going to bless you with such kind of blessing. God is going to bless you with overflowing blessing. She approached the man of God when she was in a poor state of life. God solved the problem of the widow. And made her a prosperous woman. In the same way God will solve all your problems if you approach God in a humble manner. Nothing is too hard for the Lord to do. You too like the widow may be facing financial crisis. You may have to pay back your creditor huge sum of money. Or maybe you are in a tight corner situation because of some misunderstanding with your spouse. Or maybe you are going through a tough period in your work spot because of your boss. Whatever situation you may be going through God is able to deliver you, and set you free. God wants to bring an end to all your problems. He will perform a miracle for you. He spoke and it was done .He commanded and it stood fast. Halleluiah.! Our God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or think or pray. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you for helping the widow clear off her debts and provide for the future of her sons. Help us also to pay off our debts and live in peace and harmony. Give us the strength to overcome all problems that crop up in our life. Bring an end to all our problems and help us see better days in life.
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 2 Corinthians 1:4, “God comforts us in all our tribulation that we may be able to comfort them who are in trouble.”
From the above context we understand that our God comforts all those who are in trouble. The Bible says, “In this world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Yes, our God has overcome all the troubles that you should go through. He has borne not only your troubles but also your disease, your debts and all other problems that you have to experience in your life.
Our Father in heaven has a wondrous array of divine qualities, and godly characteristics. But one of His essential elements is that He is our God of all comfort. He is our Source of all consolation. Jesus himself while he lived as a man in this world had to go through several problems. He came into the earth to fulfil His Fathers will, yet he needed favour of man and God. Whenever He was helpless He looked up to God in prayer and was comforted. He learned obedience by the things that He Himself suffered, and this is more than adequate to identify with our hurt and pain and to empathise with our sorrow and suffering. Oh yes, He is more than equipped to comfort us in all our afflictions.
The Apostle Paul in this verse confirms the above character of God, as “the God of all comfort”, by his own experience, and that of his fellow ministers; who, in spite of their great tribulation and affliction for the sake of Christ, and his Gospel, yet were not left destitute of divine help and support under their trials; but had much consolation administered to them by the presence of God. Why God was pleased to comfort them in such a manner was not because of their own account; but for the good of others. And there is a wider purpose and a greater reason that our Father of mercies, and God of all comfort never fails to stoop down and comfort us in our affliction and to console us in our miseries, for He has purposed that we who are comforted of Him, may be ready and equipped to comfort and succour all those who are in any kind of affliction.
Our God became a God of comfort, because of his living experience. He had felt that ever-continuing comfort was flowing into his soul, and he knew that it had not been given to him for his own profit only, but that it might flow forth to others. The Lord is able to give peace to the troubled conscience, and to calm the raging passions of the soul. It is our Saviour who says, Let not your heart be troubled. All comforts come from God, and our sweetest comforts are in him. He comforts everyone, by the rich mercies of his grace. He is able to bind up the broken-hearted, to heal the most painful wounds, and also to give hope and joy under the heaviest sorrows. The favours God bestows on us are not only to make us cheerful, but also that we may be useful to others.
Today many of you are reading this message with great expectation. Many are reading this message with tears in your eyes; you seem to be broken hearted. Some of you are not able to pay back your EMI for the loan you received from the bank. Some are unable to complete your house construction. You have no money to finish it. You look very troubled. Some are saying, “Look poverty is lying at my door step.” You have lost all your hope. You are unable to pay the fees for your children and now the schools are about to be opened after the Lock Down period. Some are unable to treat your sick children since you have no money. Some of you received only half your salary and you find it very difficult to maintain your monthly expenditure. Surely your hope and trust will not be in vain, nor shall any be ashamed who trust in the Lord. So don’t lose hope in God. God says, “I will not forget you nor forsake you. I will guide you with My eyes. For you are the apple of My eyes. Do not be afraid, I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.” God is watching you and the problems that you go through. He will rescue you, from your problems because He is a comforting God.
God Himself allows trouble in our lives that we may look up to God and be comforted. Many are the troubles and afflictions of those who are called to serve Him. But it is the will of God that they should be comforted: So we should speak comfortably to the people of God who suffer tribulation or affliction. The Bible says, “Comfort, yes comfort My people” only then they are blessed with a rich experience of divine consolation in themselves. Troubles cause the poor to come to God. For God hears the cry of the afflicted. And kindness should be shown to those who go through affliction. When we experience troubles then we are able to understand those who are in trouble and will be able to lend a helping hand. May God help you to extend a hand of help to those who are struggling in life. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for comforting us in times of affliction. Grant us the strength to overcome all our trials by placing our faith in You. Help us to speak words of comfort, to those in trouble. Uphold us by the arm of your mercy and help us to come out of all our troubles successfully. Do not put us to shame before others.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
