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 1 Corinthians. 10:13, “No temptation has overcome you except such as is common to man: but God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are, but with the temptation will also make the way, of escape that you may be able to bear it.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, From this passage we understand that when you are tempted, God will provide a way out, so that you can endure it. As an ambassador of God, I tell you that God guarantees you, that God is faithful, and will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear. The Lord will give you the strength to bear it during the times of your troubles, and as a guarantee, He will also provide a way to escape out of all the problems. Hallelujah! Maybe you are stuck in some kind of trouble. However great your problem might have been, the Bible says, “ No temptation has overtaken you, except what is common to mankind.” Wasn’t Job just a human being? Yet he faced a terrible disaster in his life. He faced his problems patiently. He did not murmur against God. So God changed his sorrow into joy. The Lord gave twice as much as he had before.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, you too might have faced such problems in your life. It might be a huge debt that you cannot overcome. Or maybe a terrible disease that you are suffering from, or It might be shame caused due to some unpleasant, situation. Or you are going through some kind of failure, in your life. The one who keeps the ability to overcome your problems within the mind of a human being is the Lord Jesus Christ. Only who placed the ability within you, knows how much you can withstand or you cannot withstand. The Lord knows very well how much you can bear or you cannot bear. Only the Lord Jesus Christ knows your capacity.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God will permit only the difficulties that are common to mankind. Nothing beyond your capacity will happen in your life. The Lord who promised is truthful. He is truthful enough to rescue you from all your troubles. He will cause a way to escape and deliver you completely from all your problems. Hallelujah. !So make the Lord your confidence. For the Lord says, I am with you to deliver you. For God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are. God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord, you know our capacity, as to how much we can bear, and accordingly, you allow difficulties in our life. Teach us to bear our problems patiently and not murmur about it. Give us the strength to tolerate the affliction that we face in our lives. May we consider it a joy while we go through trials and temptation. 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 2 Corinthians 8:9, “ For You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich yet for your sake, He became poor. ”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we learn that Apostle Paul in his letter, to the church in Corinth makes mention of the saints of Macedonia, about their concern and care for others. Because they freely gave to those who were in need. He therefore encourages the Corinthian saints, to help the poor. Paul also taught about the blessings that come to those who cheerfully give to the poor. Grace is God’s undeserved, unmerited goodness to us. By grace, God has saved us from the mouth of the grave and from being a slave to satan. Kindness and Mercy are the most beautiful acts possible to human being. The beauty of Jesus Christ is to draw you close to Him by His self giving love of Jesus. This is what grace is. There is no beauty like giving to others.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, It was grace that led God to send His only begotten son, to die on the cross, that no one should perish but have everlasting life. He loves you and therefore, He is not willing to see you perish. God knows the sinful nature of man. He knew how they had rebelled against His holy laws. He also knew that there were some men who responded to His love and would even give their lives for Him. They would willingly worship Him in truth and spirit. For their sakes, His grace was shown. The Bible says, Though He was rich He became poor. He emptied Himself. He was rich in the glory of the divine attributes, but He gave up His glory for a while and took our nature in all its poverty.
My Dear brothers and Sisters, God chose the lot of the poor, almost of the beggar. And this He did that men might see His life, of self surrender and be partakers with Him in the eternal wealth of the spirit, and find their treasure not only on earth but in heaven too. The Grace is all the more wonderful because of the majesty, and Sovereignty of the Lord. Grace is love that is shown to unworthy and transgressing recipients. For our sake the Lord Jesus “became poor” that He might lift you up into communion, with Himself.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Are you in tune with God? Is there an intimate closeness with God? Have you ever experienced the grace of God? To receive the blessings of God, you need to come out of all the things that
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Thank You for telling us that we need the grace of God to be successful in our lives. Thank You for becoming poor that we might be lifted up in our lives. We praise, you Lord for Your goodness, kindness and mercy. Help us O Lord to fix our eyes on You. and commune with You all the days of our life. Teach us more about 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 Isaiah 48:17 “I am the Lord Your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we understand that God’s teachings are all directed to the profit, of those to whom they are addressed. All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable. If Israel had known Jehovah as its faithful guide, and obeyed His commandments, things would have been totally different. But Israel failed to attain righteousness by the keeping of the Divine Law. God tells Israel, “Behold I have refined you, I have proved you, in the furnace of affliction. For My own sake I accomplish it and My glory I give not to another.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Every teachings of Christ leads us to a successful or profitable life. Both spiritually and materially. He teaches you things that will help to further your welfare. God is your conductor and guide. God thought of them as He does His people now, by His providence. His word and His spirit, the way in which they ought to go. At times God teaches through affliction that we may attain profit, at the end. If you do not profit, then it’s because of your own fault and poor discernment. My Dear Brothers and Sisters, The salvation which we received by the grace of God, the effect of the love of God, the doctrine, of His eternal love, the redemption by Christ, justification by his Righteousness, Pardon by His blood, atonement by His sacrifice, and the perseverance, of the saints, in faith and holiness. These are profitable doctrines which serve to display the riches of His divine, grace. For He is the Redeemer, and sanctifier, of those who put their trust in Him. He is their peace, joy, comfort, and salvation. Whom He redeems, He teaches. He teaches to profit, by affliction, and then makes them partakers of His holiness. My
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Christ Himself was a teacher while He was on the earth. And He still teaches them by His ministers. Thus His teachings leads you by the way you should go. Christ leads his people out of the wrong way into the right way. He takes them by the hand, and teaches them to go in the path of faith. He leads them in the way of truth, and righteousness, in the way of holiness, in the path of duty. And sometimes through a rough way of affliction, yet in a right way to heaven and happiness. May the Lord lead you in the right way and help you to live a life acceptable in His sight. For the Bible says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will guide you with My eye.”God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Lord we thank you because you instruct us and teach us in the way we should go. You are willing to lead us in the right way. Help us to accept You as our guide and conductor in our life. Teach us to learn the true doctrine of God and follow his footsteps. 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 Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering. For He who promised is faithful.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters from the above context we learn that God is faithful, in His promises. He is faithful enough to deliver you from all your problems. We have full confidence of protection and provision by our God. He is faithful, to save you to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through Him, since he always, makes intercession for them. We also understand that the above context deals with faith. Holding fast is the first indication of faithfulness. Faithfulness also means reliable or trustworthy, because it is fully convicted of the truth of God. Faith in God corresponds to God’s faithfulness. Gods faithfulness should awaken faith in us. So we can respond in submissive obedience. If He is worth trusting we should trust Him.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Since God is faithful, it has become our responsibility to imitate Him in being faithful by committing our lives to well doing. Our Lord who is faithful in His promises is faithful enough to deliver you from all your problems and to provide the means for a relationship with God. Faith is defined as complete trust or confidence in someone. Having faith in the love and sovereignty of God is the most prevalent concept, of the Bible. Scripture compares us to have faith in God and the commandments of His word.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Faith is confidence in what we hope for, and assurance about what we do not see , because faith comes from hearing and hearing through the word of Christ. We need to know that it is impossible to please God, for anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek Him. Paul commands them to hold fast to their profession. Paul exhorts them to continue to persevere in the grace that God had already shown.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, We need to exhort one another, in the faith, zeal and diligence and in all works of piety and virtue. They must draw near to God, their conduct should be pure and holy.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, thank you for teaching us to be concerned about others and to have a close relationship with God. Teach us Lord to draw near to God. Help us to be chaste and Holy. Make us to know how important it is to be faithful to God and hence walk by faith.
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 26:7-8, “Then we cried out to the Lord the God of our ancestors, and the Lord heard our voice, and saw our misery toil and oppression.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, From the above context we learn that Jacob went with his wives and children, cattle and sheep to settle in Egypt when his son, Joseph was the governor there. Then they were few in number, and there Jacob became a great nation mighty and populous. But the Egyptians mistreated them and laid hard bondage, on them. They were poor, despised, oppressed, people in Egypt. So they cried unto the Lord, God of their fathers, and the Lord heard their voice and looked on their affliction, and their labor and their oppression. With great terribleness, and through the plagues that were inflicted on them, especially the slaying of their firstborn, God delivered his people who faced tremendous misery and treated as slaves in the land of Egypt. The Lord brought them out of Egypt, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, with great terror, and with signs and wonders. He brought them to a large land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, just as God saw the affliction of the people of Israel, He has seen your misery and has heard your cry. He will bring you out of all your problems. When you share your problem with others they may laugh at you. You will not get any good solutions to your problem through them. They will only confuse you all the more. But when you call upon the name of the Lord, He will hear your cry and answer you speedily. You are precious in God’s sight. When you call unto Him in the time of your misery God will send forth His word and deliver you. God says, Call upon Me in the day of trouble, I will deliver you and you shall glorify Me.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, When the Israelites cried out to the Lord He sent forth His servant Moses to deliver them from their captivity. Similarly, the Lord will send His angels to attend on you and rescue you from all your problems. God is always beside you, to save you, protect you, and keep you from all your woes. If you have Jesus by your side, nothing can shake you. All you have to do is to trust in the Lord, as the people of Israel did. They trusted in the Lord their God and cried out to Him. So the Lord delivered them from the hands of the cruel taskmasters. What is the problem that you are going through? Call upon the name of the Lord. He will answer you and you shall glorify Him.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord, You know all our problems, our tears, and sorrows. Help us, Lord, when we call upon Your name. We will be thankful to you when you hear our cry and rescue us from all our woes. Teach us to glorify your name and be grateful to you for the good things you have done in our life. Keep us as the apple of Your eye.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
