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 47: 5-6, “Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph saying Your father and brothers have come to you. The Land of Egypt, is before you, Have your father and brothers dwell in the best of land. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, From the above context we get to know how God blessed Jacob and His sons, through Joseph in the land of Egypt. God in this passage reminds us of the days of Joseph. God had made him ruler over Egypt. For the first seven plentiful years, the ground brought forth abundantly. And for the next seven years, there was famine all over the land. There was a great famine in the land of Canaan too. But there was sufficient grain in the land of Egypt. So Jacob sent his sons to buy grain from Egypt. The brothers came to know, that their brother Joseph was still alive, whom they had sold for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelite. Joseph was the Governor of Egypt.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Joseph brought his father Jacob before Pharaoh. Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph. Saying, Your Father and brothers have come to you, See the land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and brothers in the best of the land. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen. And if there are competent men among them then make them chief herdsmen over all the livestock. Not only settle them but also provide government jobs for them. Then Joseph provided his father and his brothers and all his father’s household, with bread according to the number in their families.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, In the same way, the Lord wants to bless you and your family with the best of land. There are many who are living in poor facilities. Some of you have sold your land documents for want of money and struggling in slum locations. To such people, the Lord is saying that He will bless you with the best of land in the heart of the city or anywhere suitable for your living. He will make you prosperous like Joseph for the spirit of the Lord, was with him and he found mercy and favor in the sight of the Lord. You too will find God’s favor and mercy. God will help you live in good fertile places. God will remove all shame and sorrow and poverty and exalt you when you humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God. God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you for promising us with our own house in a good locality. We praise your Holy name. You remember us in our lowly state. You are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. The God of Joseph is our God too. Help us to find mercy and favor in the sight of all those who come in contact with us O Lord. Let the spirit of God be in us as it was with Joseph. 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 24: 60, “And they blessed Rebecca and said to her, Our Sister, may you become, The Mother, of thousands of ten thousand: And, may your descendants possess, the gates of those who hate them. ”
The above word of God tells about, Rebecca. She was chosen by Eliezer to be the lawful wife of Isaac, son of his master Abraham. So she along with her servant were going away from her father’s house to a distant country to Abraham’s house. As her family thought that they may not see her in the future, father Bethuel and her brother Laban blessed her from the depth of their heart. It is supposed to be a farewell blessing and good wishes of the father. It was based on two points. Firstly she should be the mother of many descendants and secondly that they should be victorious over their enemies. They actually prayed to God to make her very fruitful. They wished the best and choicest blessing upon her and said unto her, “ May you be the mother of thousands of millions.”And accordingly, she became the mother of the Edomites and Israelites both springing from her. And they also said, “Let thy seed possess the gate of those who hate them”. Indicating that her descendants would exercise dominion and authority over their enemies. Let them not only be numerous in number but also victorious.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, just as Bethuel and Laban blessed Rebecca God wants to bless you. He wants you to enjoy the wealth and riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. God is mindful of you, your family and your children. He remembers you in your lowly state. He is a God who provides food to all flesh. He alone does great wonders for his mercy endures forever.
My dear children of God may be you are going through some kind of financial stress or caught up with huge debts or may be in the state of poverty in your life and do not know how to overcome this situation. Well the Lord will deliver you from all your financial crisis. And redeem you from your distress. The Bible says Though He (Jesus) was rich, yet for your sake, He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich. Trust in Jesus, Believe Him, for He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. Especially when you are broken, and are in need of financial success. Our God is one who opens his hand and satisfies the desire of every living thing. God who did not spare his own son, (Jesus) but delivered Him up for us all, How shall He not with him also freely give us all things? The only thing God expects of you is to submit to God and be at peace with Him. In this way, prosperity will come to you. You will be enriched in every way for he who trusts in the Lord will prosper.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. We thank you for being mindful of us. We pray Lord that you will redeem us from our financial crisis, and bring about a financial breakthrough. Help us to manage our family through difficult times. Grant us the spirit to trust in You at all times in sorrow or in joy. Never to leave you, or drift away from you. May we prosper and be successful in our lives. 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 Proverbs 8: 19-21, “ My fruit is better, than gold. Yes than fine gold. And My revenue than choice silver. I traverse the way of righteousness in the midst of the paths of justice. That I may cause those who love Me to inherit wealth, That I may fill thy treasuries. ”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we come to understand that God wants to bless you in abundance. God will open the treasures of heaven. Which means the rain of blessing will pour down upon your house. He will bless the work of your hands. Maybe through your job, your business or your endeavor to gain revenue. God will bless the work of your hands. But to be blessed you need to remember the Lord your God. For it is He who gives you the ability to get wealth. He gives you the power to make wealth. Thus says the Lord, Your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. I am the Lord your God who teaches you to profit. He is the one who leads you by the way you should go. Regarding Prosperity Job says, “When my steps were bathed with cream, and the rock poured out rivers of oil for me.” He expresses how the Lord had blessed him in the early days of his life.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God says, ‘’ My fruit is better than gold, yes than fine gold.” The Fruit is compared to the blessings of grace, such as redemption, reconciliation pardon, justification, adoption, and eternal life. ” The grace of his spirit also includes faith hope and even good works. All these qualities of grace are preferable to the finest gold. They are more valuable, more useful, and profitable. They are more satisfying and more lasting. “ And My revenue than choice silver.’’ This means that just as the fruit is referred to grace, the word SEED is referred to Christ Himself and the word of God. The fruit of revenue comes from God. The revenue thereof is the profit arising from the riches from estates and gain obtained through merchandise.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God wants to fill your house with many good things. God wants to clear all the blockades of your finances and bless you with revenue from the abundance of His treasuries. Once the revenue begins to flow over you, then you will not have to borrow, to pay your debts. God will enable you to lend to others and not borrow, from others. God resists the proud But gives grace to the humble. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God. He may exalt you in due time. For the grace that God gives is even stronger. God shows favor to the humble, So draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Only then can you be blessed and your house will be filled with all good things. Trust in God and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind. If you humble before God you will gain the ability to save from your earnings for you and your children. God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord bless the work of our hands. Help us to work hard for our livelihood. Never to be lazy. Fill our house with good things as you have promised in the scripture. For you are a God who daily loads us with benefits. Teach us to humble ourselves and be confident in the Lord. Give us the power to increase our wealth and fill our treasuries with revenue that we may lend to others and not borrow from others. 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 6: 12, “Then Beware lest you forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we understand the importance of remembering God when we are satisfied with the good things that God has provided for us. To receive God’s blessing you need to walk uprightly. God expects you to humble yourself in the mighty hands of God so that He shall exalt you in due time. Meditate on the precepts of God, and contemplate your ways. Delight yourself in His statutes and forget not His word, then God will fill your house with good things. You shall be prosperous and God shall bless you in all the work of your hands.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, All these years, you might have experienced, drop by drop blessing in a little measure. But in future God will bless you in abundance. If God promises, He will keep His promise. This is an easy thing for God to perform, whether with many or with those who have no power. He is a God who gives power to the weak and to those who have no might He increases strength. God says, He will fill you with good things and you shall be satisfied. Maybe all these years you had not been satisfied with any good thing in life. But in future God is going to give you a double portion of blessing.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, when God has thus blessed you with every good thing then beware lest you forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. The Lord wants to fill your house with good things for He will not withhold, from you any good thing if you walk uprightly. All these years you have been lamenting and murmuring over the sorrows of your life. But in the future, God is going to bless you with a good job, a rise in your salary, promotion in your job, maybe a good life partner, and an increase in your business. Therefore instead of lamenting, you are going to keep praising all the days of your life.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God says, that He is going to restore to you all that you have lost in your life. Then you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied. And you should then praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. God shall never put you to shame. My Dear Brothers and Sisters, at that point of time when you are satisfied with good things, then beware lest you forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt. We need to always remember the Lord God of Israel. You should never forget the creator who made you and blessed you with all good things. Therefore whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all things to the glory of God.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you for telling us that we need to remember the Lord our God when we are filled with His blessings. When we have eaten well and are satisfied with all the good things. We bless your holy name. Teach us to be grateful to God in all circumstances, whether in grief or in 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 Joel 2:12, “Now therefore says, the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, In John 1:12, we read that to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. God the Father wants us to be His children. He says, I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings. Just as a Father has compassion on His children so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. This is the nature of a Father.
When the prodigal son returned to his father, we see the graciousness of the Father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son; as it is the memory of the Father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son back home. There are some who for their own selfish reason backslide and draw themselves away from the presence of God. When they go away from God, the devil tries to attack them. They might be well educated Medical students or Engineers. But suddenly such students get caught up in depression. This happens when one goes away from the Lord. Then the devil takes possession of such people. You should never give such an opportunity for the devil to take possession of you. This is the moment you fall into sinful things and lose the glory of God.
Backsliding can cause disastrous consequences. The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways. He may simply fall back through neglect by not praying, reading the Bible, and not keeping his focus on living for God, It can bring dishonor to the one who laid down His life for us (Jesus Christ).
But the Lord to such people gives an invitation saying, Return to Me with all your heart. In order to revive, the spirit of the lowly, And to revive the heart of the contrite. “Return backsliding Israel, says the Lord. And I will not cause My anger to fall on you. For I am merciful” says, the Lord.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God’s merciful purpose to His people are to revive and to restore. God calls us back to himself. God demonstrated His love for us through the death of His Son. Even today check your life. Have you gone away from the Lord? Repent today and return back to Him. For God is merciful with the merciful, and with a blameless man, He will show Himself blameless. Accept Jesus as your savior. Don’t neglect or postpone this opportunity. God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord if anyone has backslidden I pray You to be merciful to them. Forgive them of their sinful nature and cause them to reconcile with You. Help them to cherish your best rather than submit themselves to worldly pleasures. May they experience the glory of God in their lives. In Jesus name, we pray.
Amen.
