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 Titus 3:5, “He saved us not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit”.
From the above context we understand that by the grace of God we have been given a rare and wonderful opportunity to rise above the rest of humanity. We are heirs of God, possessors of the hope of eternal life, and of the knowledge of God’s purpose. We are, as Jesus said, to be the lights shining in the darkness of this evil age. So Paul says, it is our responsibility as God’s children in this world to fight the evil human nature within us and instead display the nature of God, in all of our actions, towards one another.
We were not saved from our sins and brought into the family of God, because of our good works, righteous deeds, important heritage or exemplary behaviour. But the whole matter is exclusively based on the kindness and love of God. It all centres on his grace and mercy towards us. It is because He is rich in mercy and not willing to perish, but that all should come to repentance, and turn from their sins.
Those of you reading this message may have lent money to others or you might have borrowed money from others. That’s fine. But just to get the money back from the person, who borrowed from you, kindly don’t squeeze them or torture them because God will not be pleased with you. You need their blessing and not their curse. When you trouble them they might curse you in return. They may not have the required money to pay you back. So treat them gently and not go to their house and abuse them with harsh words rather deal with them more kindly and give them sufficient time to repay the money or exempt them from major payments. Help them; if possible be kind to them. Then the Lord will bless you.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Suppose you have signed any document saying that you will make payment to someone then be sure to be honest and repay the amount as you have signed in the document. Suppose you have the required money and you don’t want to return the money from whom you have borrowed then it is a curse to you. So be careful to pay back the dues you owe to someone. Don’t be slack concerning your payment. One who lent you the loan may be a financier or a millionaire but that does not matter to you. But you need to pay back the money you have borrowed promptly. Hallelujah!
I would like to share an incident that took place with one of my friend. I had a call from him, and he said that one of his friend who borrowed some money from him was dodging him, and refusing to make his payments. Moreover he was not picking up calls. They were in good terms as long as the other had not borrowed money from him. But after he had borrowed a great change came upon his behaviour. He stopped calling my friend and would avoid him. So my friend called him on another number and that person immediately picked up the call. Then my friend spoke to him saying, “Never mind, if you don’t pay the money but you do one thing, you watch the Tamilan channel on Wednesdays at 7am every week. And if possible get an appointment with that Brother Stephen and pray with him.”
My friend knew very well that if they watch the programme then they would be touched by the message and they will receive deliverance. They would have better understanding and would repent of their error. And God might open the doors of prosperity and they may not suffer from further debts. ”Therefore that brother came to meet me for counselling with his family and by God’s grace and through prayers that family has been set free from all their debts and now they are living a happy life far from troubles. God of grace and mercy had been merciful to this family and liberated them from their captivity. Halleluiah! God knows how to twist and turn the minds of the people so that both will not be offended and God will make it in favour of you. Just as God was merciful to this family God will be merciful to you. For the Bible says, “All those who wait for him will be blessed.””Wait on Him and be blessed.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for being so merciful to us, and for forgiving our sins. Lord we pray that we will owe no man any dues. Help us to be honest with all our dealings. May we follow God’s teachings and remain honest in all that we do. May we be willing to repent of our sins. Lord be merciful to us just as Your Father is merciful.
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 14:16, “I will pray the Father. And He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I am glad to meet you all, through this message on this Day Of Pentecost. All the churches are celebrating this festive season, and on behalf of God’s Love Ministries, I once again greet and bless each one of you reading this message.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, in this world we need water, air, food and various other things for our survival. But the most necessary and needful thing is that you need to be filled by the Holy Spirit, to live a spiritual life that is pleasing unto God. We all desire to live a victorious life upon this world. And that is what God expects from you also. Isn’t this your expectation too? To lead a victorious life you need the Holy Spirit to dwell inside of you. While Jesus lived in this world He shared with His disciples, that He would pray to His Father, that He would give another Comforter Or Helper that He may abide with them all the days of their life.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, 2000 years ago, when His disciples gathered together with one accord on the upper floor of the house and waited anxiously for the Holy Spirit, He descended upon each one of them in the form of divided tongues as of fire, and they began to speak in different tongues. Now you too as you are reading this message with one accord as a family, I pray the Holy Spirit will descend upon those of you who think you need to have the Holy Spirit to operate inside of you. Then you will repent of your wrong deeds and not be neither cold or warm, but will be as burning fire for the Lord. Receive the Holy Spirit and don’t hurt Him. For He longs to be inside of you, forever.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God wants to reign inside of you as the Holy Spirit, and Comfort you forever. Because in this world of strife and struggle, sickness, pain, and sufferings, and while you are looking out for someone to comfort you, it is the Holy Spirit that can Comfort you as you desire. His way of Comfort will be awesome, most desirous, and helpful, especially at times of frustration and distress. And for this you need to walk along with the Holy Spirit on daily basis, and, experience the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life to feel the warmth and Comfort.
Some people of this world are walking according to the desires of their heart, I sincerely pray that an end may come to such kind of living or life. And may you begin to walk in the fear of God. Especially during this period of “Corona.” We see that all of you have been locked inside your houses. We call it “Lock Down.”Ever since this disease named Covid 19 had started to spread all over, the entire world seemed to have come to a standstill. Not able to advance any further economically or industrially. Nothing seems to work. All have lost their joy and peace. Many have lost their loved ones while some have lost a lot of benefits that they enjoyed all this while. They seem to have been struck down helplessly. And my suggestion at this time would be, that you concentrate on spiritual life. It will be better for you to empower yourself with the Holy Spirit. This is a period when you need to recharge yourself with spiritual fervour and spiritual sanctification.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, some of you have lost the presence of the Holy Spirit because of your sinful life. Hence the Holy Spirit has departed from you. You need to reconcile with God and ask God to fill you once again with the Holy Spirit. This is a special period given to you that you may return back to God. And give up the pleasures of this world. And when you receive the Holy Spirit then you will surely enjoy the blessings of God. Firstly you will receive the Power or Spiritual Strength. The Holy Spirit will help you with an unknown power that will enable you to shine in life and keep yourself away from sin. Secondly When the Holy Spirit comes into your life then He will guide you into all the truth. Thirdly, He will give you a fresh anointing of prayer. He will intercede on behalf of you to God the Father. Fourthly you shall receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. God will bless you with all spiritual blessing, in the heavenly places, in Christ. Finally you shall be set at liberty. For the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I sincerely urge you to attain this Holy Spirit that He might abide with you forever, and guide you into all the truth. Then you shall enjoy real liberty to serve the Lord and stand firm rooted and grounded for Him and His glory. You will enjoy the anointing of prayer and not only be a blessing to you and your family but to be a blessing all over the world. God will enlarge your territory. And thereby enjoy all the gifts of the Holy Spirit, that God has granted unto you. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for protecting us from this crude disease Covid 19 and helping us to live a life of adjustment. Teach us the importance of hoarding the Holy Spirit within us that we may be comforted at times of sorrow and distress. Help us to enjoy the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Lord forgive us for grieving the Holy Spirit and help us to reconcile with God.
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 Luke 13: 11-13 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.
From the above passage we come to understand, that Jesus put His hands on a woman with a spirit of infirmity for 18 years, who came seeking for Jesus Christ in the temple. She was desperately in need of deliverance. God gave her deliverance. She immediately, straightened up, and praised God.
In fact she had got used to looking at people out of the corner of her eyes, by looking up and sideways., she could hardly remember any other way of seeing the world. But on this particular Sabbath, there was a special excitement at the synagogue, where she regularly went to worship. A Galilean preacher and prophet, Jesus of Nazareth, had arrived in town and would be teaching there. She and the others in town had heard reports about Jesus–how he talked about God’s reign arriving soon and how he healed sick people. She was not sure how many of the rumours to believe, For Her life already had too many disappointments to count.
When she entered the synagogue, the place was abuzz. As Jesus began to teach, however, the room was hushed. Moments later, his words turned from teaching to invitation. He had caught her eye, It was no mean feat, for He had to lean over and incline his head to do so. “Come here,” he said to her. She slowly made her way to the front of the assembly. What happened next amazed the whole congregation. “Woman, you are set free from your ailment.” When Jesus, spoke those words and put his hands on her broken, bent body, she felt power surge through her. Without hesitation, she straightened her once crooked back. She stood tall and praised her God.
When the Lord removed all the evil spirit from her body her back straightened and she became healthy. She went away praising and glorifying God. In the same way God wants to give deliverance to you also. He wants to bring about a change in your life also. God desires that his people are set free from bondage and slavery. To enjoy freedom from bondages , keep on praising and thanking God. Draw more close to God. May be all these days you might have been moving away from the presence of God. By moving away from God you have been facing only loses, pain ,sickness, prisons, cases, and more of such things. So God wants to draw more close to you.
God wants you to come out of all these struggles. He wants to open new doors for you in your life. God wants to provide a life of Canaan. A life flowing with milk and honey. An abundant life for you. To receive such a life you need to submit to God. When you sanctify yourself, all the evil spirit will disappear. And you will receive the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit removes all sickness, sinful nature and evil spirit out from you. God will bring deliverance to you as He gave deliverance to the woman with a spirit of infirmity. But when that which is perfect comes, then that which is in part shall be done away.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord help us to receive complete deliverance from all our infirmities. Straighten all the crooked areas in our life. Teach us to be diligent, filled with knowledge and wisdom. May we desire the life of Cannan in our life. Teach us to go the extra mile in order to receive what has been appointed for us. And not be slothful and lethargic in achieving our goals.
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 you for today is from the book of 2 Samuel 7:29. “Now therefore let it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You O Lord God have spoken it, and with Your blessing let the house of your servant be blessed forever.”
From the above context we learn that, David’s prayer is full of devout affection toward God. He had low thoughts of his own merits. All we possess must be looked upon as Divine gifts. He speaks very highly and honourably of the Lord’s favours to him. God knows us better than what we know ourselves; therefore let us be satisfied with what he has done for us. David ascribes all to the free grace of God. Both the great things He had done for him, and the great things He had made known to him.
When Prophet Nathan tells David as prophesy that God is going to build a house for him. And when David received the word through Nathan he says, “Lord the moment my ears heard that You are going to build a house for me, I am encouraged to pray for a house. Dear Brothers and Sisters God is speaking to you through the words of Nathan, that God is going to provide a good house for you to live and also establish you as a family. Just as David was encouraged to pray for his house, you too should pray and ask God to provide a house for you. May be your children are living abroad. You might be wondering if it is possible for you to have a house of your own in foreign countries. Well anything is possible if the Lord intervenes in your life. When God decides to bless you with what you desire then no one can stand against you or stop you from getting your blessing. For God cares for you. He knows your desire. Halleluiah. !
If God promises to bless you, He will fulfil it. He will never fail you. When God built a house for David, He entered into his house with a grateful heart and began to thank God, saying Lord let it please You to bless the house of Your servant. David knew very well that unless God blesses him and his house, he cannot be blessed. He believed that every gift comes from above and comes down from the father of lights with whom there is no variation. You cannot inherit anything unless it is given from His hands. God opens his hand and satisfies the desire of every living thing.
David asks God to bless his house that it may continue forever before God. David wanted God to keep an eye upon his house all the time. He wanted his house to be always filled with God’s presence. He knew that life without God or a house without God’s presence cannot be blessed. David desired the blessings of God. He expected God to bless everything that entered into his house his wives , his children, all his wealth, etc. David loved God with all of his heart for God found David the son of Jesse, a man after God’s own heart. So David maintained a personal relationship with God in order to inherit God’s blessing. David had great faith in God. He knew that life without God is vain. He refused to accept anything that entered into his house without the blessing of God.
How about you dear brothers and sisters? Do you want God to bless your house with the goodness of God.? Are you willing to receive God into your house and bless you? Is your house worthy of God’s presence? Say, Lord search me, and know my heart today, Try me, O Saviour, know my thoughts, I pray. Then God will bless you and your house.
Prayer: Our Loving heavenly Father, We thank you for this blessed day. Lord bless us and our children with a good house. Let them not suffer in rented homes. Bless our homes with your presence O Lord. Protect us and surround them with your angels. Let peace be within our walls and prosperity be within our palaces.
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 you for today is from the book of 1 John 4:12 “If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.”
The Bible says, that God is Spirit, and John tells us that no one has seen God at any time. But the invisible God was made manifested to the world, by His birth, through His only begotten Son Jesus. Today however the invisible God is manifesting Himself through His Church, and we are called to abide in Him, to rest in Him, to remain in Him and to live holy in Christ Jesus. When we abide in Him and live godly in Christ Jesus, then the Holy Spirit abides in us and He transforms us into the likeness of the Lord Jesus, and when we remain and abide in Him the love of God is perfected in us. Christian love for one another is the outward manifestation of the invisible God in our world today. As God abides in us and His love is perfected in us. And we become a channel of His love to each other. Hence the way God manifests Himself to the world today is through the love we have for one another.
From the above context we learn that God expects that His children love one another and dwell in unity and harmony. To such people God would command his blessing, even life for evermore. God wanted to bring about unity between the two brothers Easu and Jacob. So He urged Jacob to return to his home land, to his father’s place. So Jacob having become a wealthy person decided to return to his father’s place, along with his wives, children and cattle. He was on the other side of Jordan. He came to Haran with a staff, but now God had blessed him with two companies.
Jacob was a wealthy man of God. He was afraid to meet his brother Easu who was beyond Jordan with four hundred men. If he crossed Jordan and went to meet his brother he knew that trouble awaited him. There was a breach between him and his brother. Their enmity lasted for years. Because Jacob had cheated his elder brother twice. Once he had taken away Easu’s birth right cunningly and later he had grabbed all the blessings of Easu from his father Isaac. Therefore he was afraid of meeting his brother.
Now Jacob was prepared to lose anything in order to renew his relationship with his brother. So he divided the flocks and herds and camels into two companies. He prayed to the Lord to deliver him from the hands of his brother. For he was afraid that he would attack him and his family. He put the maid’s servants and their children in front, Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last. Then Jacob crossed over before them and bowed himself seven times and he came near his brother.
But Easu ran ahead and met Jacob and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him and they wept. Thus God reunited the brothers. Jacob said to Easu, “If I have found favour in your eyes, accept this gift from me. For to see your face is like seeing the face of God” It was a moment of great rejoicing. This is what God expects of His children. Relationship is so important in one’s life. You cannot afford to lose relationship for it causes deep pain. The Bible says, “A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city.” Therefore remove all bitterness from your heart. In case there is some misunderstanding between you and your siblings then take immediate steps to reunite with them. When you renew your relationship with your siblings and dwell in unity then God will bless you abundantly from heaven.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord take away the spirit of separation from us. Help us to live in oneness of mind and unity. Renew relationship between parents and children husband and wife, and among siblings. Help us to be humble and submissive to each other. And teach us to love one another as God loved us.
Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
