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 Revelation 21:4, “He will wipe every tear from their eyes.”
He is a God who wipes our tears. He wants us to live a happy and comfortable life. He does not want us to suffer and weep over our problems. But because of our own mistakes or because of our sinful nature we get entangled into some kind of captivity. Yet, God due to His love and mercy wants to set us free from all our struggles and wipe our tears. He even gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. God strengthens us when we are weak. He loves you and He cares for you. So trust in Him for every need of yours. Because the Lord will give what is good.
The Lord says, weeping, shall endure for a night – and the tear-drops, that have dampened our pillows will one day be wiped away. God Himself will dry every tear, for He enters into every searing pain and each aching heart. Not one secret sigh that crosses our minds, nor one stabbing pain that cuts deep into our hurting heart is missed by our gracious God of love, for He is our great God of comfort and Lord of life .We live in a fallen world and none of us can escape from the difficulties and tragedies that stalk the path of every person that is born into this fallen race. But through this beautiful truth, God is giving us a tiny glimpse about the new heaven, and a new earth, that is to be established by God.
The day is coming when the Lord Himself, will live with men – and they will be His people and He will be their God. This will be a day when all wrongs are set right. Joy will replace sorrow, and God Himself will dry every teardrop. “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will no longer be any death. There will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things would have passed away.” The Lord knows the deepest pain that breaks the heart of His people and in Psalms we read, that “The Lord puts all our tears into His bottle.” He treasures the tears that His people shed in this world, for they witness many evils and have to endure much persecution and pain for the sake of Christ. But the tears of His people are precious to the Lord, for they are sharing in Christ’s suffering and pain.
Jesus was despised and rejected when He came to earth and gave Himself up, as the sacrifice for our sin. He was a man of sorrows and acquainted with the same grief and agony that we often have to undergo. But He also faced the agony of the cross on our account, to gain the victory over sin and satan, death and hell. What a blessed truth, that a day is coming where every tear will be dried by our precious Saviour, because of His sacrifice. “And there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain – for we will reign with Jesus on this earth. Because of His sacrifice, there will be no weeping in heaven, death and destruction will be swallowed up in victory by his resurrection. We will be able to rise up into newness of life, where pain and sorrow will flee away, what a wonderful day that would be. Many who are reading this message are unaware of this truth that one day we will be along with Jesus in Heaven.
Many of you reading this message are caught up in some kind of captivity. You feel so disheartened because, though married for several years, you have not been blessed with a child. Some do not have a stable business. If you take one step forward, you fall behind ten steps back ward. You have no one to lift you up in your business either financially or through man power or give you moral support. Some suffer because of their children, who do not do very well in their studies. Rather they have grown disobedient and they are more focused in gadgets like mobile, internet, chatting, playing video games and listening to their peer groups instead of being dutiful, to their parents. In fact they have become a nuisance to their parents. Some parents think “ why did I ever have such a son or daughter who cause disgrace to the family.
A day is already set, for God to wipe away all your tears. But never forget that in this world of sickness and sin, hardship and pain you have a Saviour, who understands your sorrow, pain and agony. Never forget that you have God’s indwelling Spirit of comfort, Who is with you every moment you shed tears. Jesus came to heal the broken-hearted and set the captives free so He understands, He knows, He loves, and He cares, for each one of us, so draw closer to His arms of comfort, and trust in His love today, for a day is coming where there will no longer be any mourning, crying, or pain. You may not understand why you have to endure some of the things in life that cause such heart-ache and pain. He is our present help in trouble today, and tomorrow He will wipe away the tears from all of our eyes.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Father we know that You hold our future, and so we entrust our life into Your hands today. We know that You are with us in every trial, and pain we are facing. We really don’t know why we go through such sufferings but we trust in Your loving kindness, and tender mercies, which are new every morning. And your faithfulness towards us is so great.
In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
I greet and bless each one of you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of Isaiah 46:11, “Calling a bird of prey, from the east the man who executes My counsel, from a far country. Indeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it. I will also do it.”
From the above context we learn that Balaam was called by Balak the king of Moab, to curse Israel. But God changed his mind against Balak and instead of cursing the people He blessed them. No one could ever stand against the Israelites as they were considered precious in His sight.
God is sending someone from a far off country to bring you good news, or do something good in your life. God wants to speak to you through this message. God is actually sending someone from a far away country to fulfill what God has purposed in his heart regarding you. He is sending someone to show favor to you. You might be wondering what that stranger is about to do for you or what good news he is going to bring for you. But you can be assured, that something good is going to happen for you.
May be you might be getting a good job through him. Or you might be getting a good proposal through him, for your son or daughter. Or through that person, you might get a favorable judgment. God says, He is sending someone, who would fulfill His counsel. God is sending a person who would implement what He has purposed in His heart regarding you. That person is coming to fulfill God’s commandment, in your life.
He might be an angel or God himself in the disguise of man. In this regard I shall quote certain incidents from the scripture. Balaam climbed to the top of the mountain and from there he saw the people of Israel spread all over scattered according to their tribes. They dwelt in tents. God instructs Balaam to go there and not to curse the people but to bless them. This was the commandment of God to Balaam. So he looks at the people and said, “I have come with the commandment of God to bless you.” God had sent him purposely to bless Israel. And after receiving the blessing of God, it was easy for the people to move steadily to the good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, without any difficulty.
Similarly God will send someone to bless you. They will come to you with the commandment of God to implement His counsel. God sent Ananias to help Saul regain his lost sight. So according to God’s commandment he went and touched his eyes and immediately his eyes were opened. Tabitha called Dorcas, learned from Jesus, a giving way of life. She helped others with what she had. She was known for her acts of charity. The little servant girl in Naaman’s house helped her Master to receive healing through the prophet Elisha. She was an angel in disguise. Jacob was returning to His father’s land Canaan. But while he was at the ford of Jabbok, he was left alone. And there a man wrestled with him, Jacob realized that he had wrestled with God. God met Jacob in the form of man and transformed him.
Thus we see God used several people to help others in the scripture. Likewise God will send someone to help and bless you. To save you from being caught, in some trouble or disaster, God is sending someone, who will implement his commandment, as He had purposed in His heart to rescue you from the oncoming danger and thus bless you. God is concerned about you. So He will never forget you or forsake you.
Prayer: Our Loving Heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Lord we are glad to know through this message that you send someone from afar to help us in times of need. We thank you for your kindness. Help us never to doubt Your kindness in any form and accept it when necessary. Teach us to recognize your help, when You send it through someone. And help us to be grateful to you.
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 Amos 5:4 “For thus says, the Lord to the House of Israel, “Seek Me and Live.”
From the above context we learn through Amos the prophet of God, who emphasises the people of Israel to “seek God.” For Amos, “to seek God” means seeking good, doing justice and rightness, worshiping God in the right way, and seeking the word of the Lord. Then they would receive the assurance which God had promised to Israel, that “They would live” and prosper. The Word of God, “Seek ye Me and ye shall live” – describes the Wonderful conciseness of the prophet who speaks about, man’s duty and his reward. To seek God is to live. For to seek God is to find Him, and God is Life and the Source of life. But the seeking is diligent seeking.
“Seek Me,” that is, seek God for Himself, not for anything out of Him and not for His gifts, not just to obtain something from Him for this is not seeking Him purely. All is found in Him, but by seeking Him first, and then loving Him in all,” You shall live,” God will help you by prolonging your life, then He will help you to escape from your enemy; then give you the grace to live a better life. As the Psalmist, says, in his psalms, “your heart shall live who seek God” Amen.
Amos prophesied, during the period of the reign of Jeroboam II, which was a period of great prosperity and of great corruption. Amos, was accustomed to the simple life of a shepherd. He was provoked to anger at the signs of misused wealth and selfish luxury that he saw everywhere. Amos’s first call to Israel is but the echo of God’s call to men, always and everywhere. All circumstances, all inward experiences, joy and sorrow, prosperity and disaster, our longings and our fears, they all cry aloud to us to seek His face. Amos’s promise is true still, to those who seek God. There is no surer way of promoting true well-being than seeking God. ‘The fundamental principle of Amos’s teaching is an eternal truth, that to seek God is to find Him, and to find Him is life.
Having read this message I am sure that God has touched, you through His word and that you might seek him, and not postpone. Today is the day of salvation. Today is the accepted time. “Today, if only you would hear God’s voice, and do not harden your hearts.” Then you will be blessed. Then you will shine both in your spiritual and material life. Therefore Seek God and Live. When you seek God you shall be blessed. You will prosper in all walks of your life. Be it in your education or in your business, or in your family life or in the life of your children you will find the mercy of God. I pray God grant you the wisdom to Seek God above all things in life. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for telling us through this message that we need to seek God above all things in life. Teach us to refrain ourselves from all worldly life and Seek His face. Strengthen us in the Lord. May we give up all that is ungodly and live according to the commandments of God and the instruction of prophet Amos to the people of Israel.
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 Matthew 11:28, “Come to Me all you who labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”
From the above context, we understand that our God calls us to come unto Him and take rest under the shade of His mighty arms. In this world there will be tribulation and trials. There will be sorrow and pain because we have to labour for our living. Since we are subjected to hard labour and work we easily become tired and worn out hence God calls us to take rest.
The heavy yoke of bondage to sin is a weighty burden we all have to carry on the treadmill of life, which causes physical weariness, spiritual fatigue and emotional exhaustion. But Christ’s invitation to “COME”, brings rest to the weary, comfort for the hurting, solace to the heavily laden and rest for the soul. Jesus is the well-spring of Life and the Light that has come into the world, to give hope to all who will trust on His name. Christ alone is the One Who can heal the hurting, rescue the perishing and save a sinner for there is no other name given among men whereby we must be saved. Jesus came into the world, to show us the Father God. He shines forth the radiance of the glory of God, for He is the exact image of God, and upholds all things by the word of His power. The invitation from Jesus has no limitations. He will turn no one away. He alone can lift the heavy yoke of bondage to sin, which weighs down the burdened heart. He alone can heal the broken-hearted, rescue those that are perishing and set the captive free from the weighty burden of sin. And His invitation is open to all who will believe on His name.
You may have great troubles and trials in this world. But God will cause. His grace to fall upon you. You will receive the fruit of blessing in your hand. In the past, you might have experienced much sorrow. You might have lost your job, your loved one, your business might have been a failure, and there was no one to lift you up, And so you might have even lost your hope. But in future God wants to do something good through you. You might be wondering as to how God is going to help you in this year 2020 when all things are so weird and disappointing. Many of you reading this message are thinking “what good can happen in my life?” We have lost everything and what can we hope for? Well there was a king by name Asa, He sought God and so he was blessed. He said, “Come let us build these cities. And make walls, and towers, and gates and bars around them, for we have sought Him and He has given us rest, on every side. So they built and prospered.”
All things are possible to them that believe. If only you will believe, you will see the glory of God. For faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of the things not seen. “Come to Me,” is an invitation for the broken-hearted soul and burdened sinner. Therefore COME, just as you are. “Come unto Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden.”Come and take rest. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You Lord, because we can come close to You, knowing that the barrier of sin has been removed. Thank You for giving us true rest for our soul and perfect peace in our heart and even in the midst of any storm Your peace that passes human understanding remains forever. Thank You for inviting us to come unto You and take rest.
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 Matthews 25:21. His Lord said to him, “Well done good and faithful servant, you were faithful over a few things I will make you a ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.”
In this context we see that the master was going on a long journey so he gave talents to each of his servant, according to his own ability. And when He came back He asked them what they had done with their talents. The one who received five talents said that he had gained five more talents. The one who received two talents said, he had gained two more talents besides them. But the one who received one talent said,“ ‘Master, ’I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.” His master was very much displeased with his servant, so he said, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest”
His Lord appreciated his other servants who made good profit of the talents given to them. So said unto his servant, well done, My good and faithful servant, you have done well. You know that you cannot do anything by yourself, without the help of God. For you know you can do nothing well of your selves, and when you have done all you can, you acknowledge that all you do is owing to the grace of God. You are a good and faithful servant: who have the grace of God implanted in you, You have begun a good work and possess good qualities, and abilities, without which you can never be good servants to your master. You have been faithful over a few things: so the master said, “I will make you ruler over many things.”
Confidence in an unfaithful man is painful and vexatious; for when we put any stress on him, he not only fails, but makes us suffer because of it. A faithful servant by serving his master to the expectation of his master and to the best of his capacity, gains confidence of his master, such that his Master entrusts him with bigger opportunities that needs greater responsibility, for the master is now, confident that his servant is capable of doing the given task perfectly. While we observe the shepherd boy David we see his faithfulness in tending his father’s sheep. David refers to integrity and uprightness as the attributes that will preserve him. And David exhibited both integrity and uprightness that is necessary for a good servant. His enemies were trying to discredit him, but the Lord knew David was righteous. David certainly could trust the Lord to do what was right and keep him safe. David states that he was waiting on the Lord. The word “wait” indicates that David was trustfully expecting the Lord to fulfil His promises, to make a great name for David, to give him rest from his enemies, to give him a heritage, and to establish his kingdom forever. This should be the attitude of every servant who will be willing to wait on the Lord their Master and gain a good portion of reward.
The parable of the talents though it speaks about the kingdom of heaven, but it offers an important lesson about success. God measures our success not by what we have, but by what we do with what we have-for all that we have is a gift from Him. We are really only managers to whom He has entrusted resources and responsibilities. The key thing, He looks for is faithfulness doing what we can to obey and honour Him with whatever He has given us. We may or may not be “successful” as our culture measures success, in terms of wealth, prestige, power, or fame. In the long run that hardly matters. What counts is whether we have faithfully served God with what He has entrusted to us.
From the above passage we learn that if you wish to lead a happy family life, or do your ministry effectively and peacefully, or work efficiently at your work spot, or do well in your studies, or prosper in any profession, then God expects something important from you. You need to be honest in few things that God has entrusted to you. If you are found faithful in few things then God will make you ruler over many things. May the Lord help you to be wise and serve faithfully. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for telling us through this message that we need to be honest and sincere in all that we do. Help us to be like those servants who invested their talents and made a good profit. Give us the wisdom and understanding to serve those in authority with reverence and diligence.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
