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 36: 8, “They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink, from your river of delights.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we come to know that the Lord will bless you with the abundance of His house. You shall receive all your blessings in abundance, in the house of the Lord. By his “house” is meant the church of God, of his building, and where he dwells; by the fatness of it provisions there, the word and ordinances, and the blessings of grace which they hold forth; and especially Christ, the bread of life, whose flesh is meat indeed, and whose blood is drink indeed, and which make a feast of fat things; and these they that trust in the Lord are welcome to eat and drink of abundantly, and to have abundant satisfaction.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, They shall be abundantly sallied with the fatness of thy house.; This statement says, that the people of God shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of his house. Those who learn to put their trust in God shall be received into his house and shall share in the provision laid up there in. The dwelling place of the Lord is not confined to any particular place. Instead, our soul becomes the house of God, then the believers shall find in sacred worship the richest spiritual food.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, “And thou shall make them drink of the river of thy pleasure” By This verse we understand that the love of God, make glad the city of God. The fullness of His grace, the eternal glory, and happiness, enjoyed in the presence of God, in which there is the fullness of joy, and at His right hand are pleasures for evermore.
The Bible says, Happy is the soul that can drink of the dainties of the gospel, for God’s everlasting love bears to us a constant and ample comfort of which grace makes us drink from the river by faith. The Lord not only brings us to drink through faith but makes us drink of his divine love. With God we shall find mercy, This is a great comfort to all believers. God does all things wisely and well. But what he does we may not know now. God’s loving kindness is precious to the saints. They put themselves under his protection and find consolation in Him. The souls desire more of God but they never desire more than God. The gifts of providence satisfy, them and they are content, with such things as they have. God not only works in them a desire for these pleasures but by his spirit, fills their souls, with joy and peace, in believing the truth. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord, we thank you for your blessing in abundance and for the fullness of your grace. We thank you for your house that provides the bread of life and the blood of Christ that flows like a river. May the children of God eat of thy bread and drink from the river by faith. We thank you for your providence that satisfies every hungry soul with joy and peace.
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 28:12, “And The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, And to bless the work of your hand”.
The Lord shall open unto you his good treasure. Here His good treasure indicates His treasure of rain. He gives rain for the earth and water for the fields. Thereby He prepares the earth for his people and sends forth a rich harvest of grain. Thus He sends down rain from His storehouses on the hills. He waters the mountains from His palace. He provides rain on the countryside like rain falling on a field like showers watering the earth.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, when God gives He gives in plenty. Rainfall represents greenery, wealth, prosperity or well being. The blessing of the Lord rests upon the head of the righteous. God wants to bless his children with the riches from His storehouse. But in order to receive the blessings from the Lord one must obey His voice and walk according to his precepts. The Bible says the Lord will bless you in His time.
Dear Brothers and sisters when you pass through hard times, during the course of your life, God will intervene in a marvelous manner and bring you out of all your hurdles.
It may be that you are facing a serious financial crisis, or you are terribly caught up in a huge debt from which you cannot release yourself. Or maybe you are suffering from some dreadful disease that causes tremendous pressure. You need relief from all these problems. Hence the only thing you need is to call upon God. He will set you free from all your hurdles. When you call unto Him He will perform a miracle in the right season. He knows what is best for you. God will never disappoint you. He will satisfy you with all that you need. The Lord will then open the heavens to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hand.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, be humble before God. Pray and wait on the Lord. He will exalt you in due season. He will bless you from His storehouse of blessings. For He is a God who takes pity on those who hope in His mercy. Therefore obey the voice of the Lord and inherit His blessings.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you, Lord, for sending rain in due season. Lord, you cause the grass to grow for the cattle and herb for mankind. Lord, you have granted us life and favor, And your care has preserved our life. Therefore we praise you, Lord. Help us to realize how awesome and great you are. Fill us with your treasure in heaven.
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 John 16:33, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” These were the last words spoken by Jesus to His disciples. The above context is the conclusion of our Lord’s sermons to His disciples.
Jesus was sharing about His departure from the Earth, to prepare a place for them and all about the persecutions and afflictions they should endure for His sake and the many blessings, both of grace and glory they should enjoy. He also spoke to them, about the oncoming tribulation in the world. While there were tribulations and problems in the world He realized that there was no true peace to be enjoyed for the people in the world. He knew very well that the world could not give that peace. One can enjoy real peace only through Christ who is the object of all grace.
Christ gives peace by His blood on the cross, and there is peace in Him which is enjoyed through faith. Christ is the omniscient God and truth Himself. Christ became a fountain of peace. He says to His disciples, “Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
My dear brothers and sisters, today the Lord wants you to live in peace and harmony. It is the devil who comes to steal, kill and to destroy. But Jesus came that you may have life and that you may have it more abundantly.
Everyone has troubles in this world. No one is at peace. Everyone goes through oppression. But God will not tempt you beyond, your capacity. The Bible says, “No temptation has overtaken you except, what is common to mankind. And God is faithful.” He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear. Therefore, however, the situation may be; Remember that God is in control of your life. He will solve all your problems. He will deliver you from all your obstacles. Cast your care upon Him for He cares for you.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord you know the pain and agony that your children go through. Relieve them of their distress. Do not test them beyond their capacity. Lord! send your angels and comfort them. Wipe away their tears. Change their sorrow into joy. 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 Psalm 113: 7,8, “He raises the poor out of the dust and lifts the needy out of the Ash heap that He may seat him with princes.’’
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today the Lord is going to give you the staff to earn your royal bounties, and thus be blessed in your life. For He raises the poor and lifts the needy. Until yesterday you would have been a failure. But today the Lord is going to bless you with needed education qualification, capacity, skill, wisdom, knowledge, and everything that is necessary to lift you up in your status. You will be successful in your interview. I wish to illustrate, how a brother by the name John Solomon, who attended Anbarin Padathil Oru Naal our monthly fasting prayer meet, regularly grew up to a better status in life. He came to Chennai as a poor man with a meager salary of Rupees Four thousand.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today he looks fair and handsome but when I saw him for the first time he was not so appealing. He was working in a small job then. I used to see him seated at the front row regularly at the Fasting Prayer Meeting. The Lord blessed him step by step. He got married and was blessed with a son. He soon built his own house. You must have seen him listing out all the miracles the Lord has performed in his life. He said not a single prophesy had failed to happen in his life. He had bought a house in Maddipakkam, I inaugurated it. I then told him that he would build more houses. He built another house in Trichy Halleluiah! As a spiritual father, I feel very happy when I see the growth and prosperity of the children of God.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, his growth was too fast, but all of a sudden he lost his job. He said to me “Uncle, only now I am shooting up in my life but at this point of time, I have lost my job”’ I told him that when the heart of Pharaoh was hardened good things happened to the people of Israel. If one door is shut, another door will be opened for you in an MNC company. The Lord is going to take you across the nation.” He held on to these words. He got a job in an MNC company, later He got an onsite project, and now he and his family are very happy. Do you know the reason for it. Just like you all, one day, he came and sat, in the meeting without anything. But it was the talents, that the Lord had kept within him and the fear of the Lord, that enabled him to shoot up in his life. When he became rich and wealthy he did not throw away God, instead, he honored him. Like Jacob, he said, “I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which you have shown, your servant.” John Solomon was a humble brother. So God exalted him. So my dear Brothers and Sisters, in the same way, God will exalt you, if you fear the Lord and humble yourself in the mighty hands of God. God will bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you, Lord, for teaching us to fear the Lord and be humble in life. Make us hold on to the Lord, during times of difficulties. Never to refrain ourselves from God for any reason. Remove all poverty and lift us up to a better status in our life. May the Blessings of God be upon us so that Your name may be honored.
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 Genesis 30:43 “And the man increased exceedingly and had much cattle, and maid servants, and men servants and camels, and asses.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we learn that Jacob prospered in the house of his uncle Laban because of his hard work. Firstly He tended sheep. His salary was changed ten times by his unkind uncle. Later he partnered along with his uncle in sheep rearing and earned much. Only after becoming exceedingly prosperous he returned to his homeland Canaan. He says, “While crossing Jordan this staff was my only treasure. It is the staff that the Lord gave me in my hand. I held on to this staff, and departed to my uncle’s place from my father’s home.” We see from the above context how Jacob worked hard to make a good living. Jacob held on to the staff that the Lord had given him till the very end.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Are you making use of your talents that the Lord has given you? The master gave five talents to his servant and when he came back the servant gave the master double the talents by working hard and making a good profit in his business. The master appreciated his hard effort. God also will appreciate your hard work. Therefore make use of the talents that God has bestowed into your hands. The Lord has blessed you with a good education. You have acquired a good degree, so you must make a good income or earn well by putting up hard work. You must earn your royal bounties.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, We often see how much pain parents take to give sound education to their children, they at times face problems because of them and are forced to stand before the Principal and face shame and humiliation too, yet for the sake of their children they bear it all cheerfully. But some children fail to make use of their education and hurt their parents by not going to work. They become lazy and stay at home, instead of working hard. Such children can never prosper in their life. Everyone wishes to come up in life. No one ever wants to go down in life. To become a great person, you must work hard with the staff that you have in your hand.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Jacob was very strong in his decision, that he would not go back to his homeland until he became a wealthy man. Only after he had earned well and made a lot of wealth he went to his homeland. That should be your decision too. That you will work hard and become great in life. There is nothing impossible to them that believe in God. For all things are possible to him who believes. May God bless you to earn your Royal Bounties.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank you for the staff you have given us to earn a better living. Teach us to make use of the staff carefully. Help us to work hard and aspire to be great in life. Give us the strength to work hard. May we like Jacob, make good decisions in our life and achieve greater heights.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
