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 Jeremiah 30:19, “Then out of them shall proceed thanksgiving, and the voice of those who make merry. I will multiply, them and they shall not diminish. I will also glorify them and they shall not be small.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we understand that our God cares for His people. So He says, that He will make them to be very numerous even though they dwell in tents. God says, “I will glorify them, I will put honour upon them everywhere they go. So that they shall be no longer contemptible. This will be a very great change for them as they are now despised all over the earth.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God is so concerned about the people of Israel. After their captivity they dwelt in tents in the wilderness. But God knew they will rebuild the city and establish themselves, in palaces of Jerusalem and in walled cities. They will no longer offer ceremonial sacrifices as in their past days. Rather they would be more thankful for the divine favours shown to them by God. They will now engage in sacrifices of praise and thanks giving only which they will attend with great mirth and melody.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, God says, that out of their mouth shall proceed thanksgiving, and they will make merry because God will multiply them and bless them. They will not diminish in their number and will not be considered small for the Lord will glorify them. He will magnify them and exalt them as He has chosen them for His good purpose. The Psalmist says, “All the saints will join together in solemn praise and thanksgiving. When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion they were like those who dream, and their mouth was filled with laughter, and their tongue with singing. Then they said, among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them”. The Lord has done great things for us. And we are glad. They said unto God, “Oh Lord Bring back our captivity. As the streams in the south. For those who sow in tears will reap in joy.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, In the same manner until today, may be, you, your children, your husband or your dear and near ones, may have been trapped into some kind of captivity. You may be tied to some kind of bad habits like being addicted to alcohol, smoking, or addicted to face book, or any form of sinful habits. Until this day they might have been a failure, in their studies career, business or in their family life. Today God is releasing you and your children from the hold of such captivity. And once they are released from their captivity there will be rejoicing and singing in your houses. God always desires that His children live in peace, harmony, and fellowship. Joy is a feeling of great pleasure and happiness. It’s the emotion we feel when life is good. God wants to turn your sorrow into joy.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for turning our captivity. For putting song in our mouth. For considering our affliction and delivering us from our foes. Help us to rejoice in the power of your glory. May we praise and thank you for all your goodness towards us.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
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 66:12, “You have caused men to ride over our heads, we went through fire and through water. But you brought us out to rich fulfillment.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we see the hard times that the people of God had experienced, by the evil powers . It must be understood, that the man of sin, and son of perdition who rides upon the heads of men, exalts himself above all that is called God and has exercised dominion, over the saints in a most lawless and tyrannical manner.
The people of God had to pass through affliction, through fiery trials and over whelming providences. The Bible says, that the children of Israel, endured trials, and afflictions, even the greatest hardship, and difficulties. for the sake of Christ.
After a period of adversity and persecution the Lord will grant rest unto His people. There will be no more persecution, no more fines, imprisonment, and torturing deaths, for the sake of Christ and His gospel. All the churches will be like the well watered place like the land of Canaan. The spirit of God will be poured down like floods of water upon the dry ground. The gospel of God will drop as the rain and as showers upon the grass. It will be a time of great plenty and prosperity, in spiritual things. It will be a place abounding with all good things. At that period of time, the saints will be enriched with every gift and be rich in grace and in all good works.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, are you going through a rough patch of life? Have you lost your dear one? Or is it a financial crisis that you are going through? Are you broken hearted and depressed because of your huge debts? Are you unable to come out of it? Is there no one to help you at all? Is someone hurting you because of jealousy at your work spot, Well remember the Lord God Of Israel is at your side. He says, “As I was with Moses So I will be with you. Be strong and of good courage, I have inscribed you on the palm of My Hand, Your walls are continually before Me. You shall not be ashamed, who wait for Me”. So entrust yourself in the mighty hands of God. He will deliver you from all your struggles, whatever it might be. However huge your problem might be, He is able to save you to the utmost. For our God is bigger than your problem and it is a trivial thing for God to help you whether with many, or with those who have no power.
God bless you.
Prayer :
Our Loving Heavenly Father, We thank you for this blessed day. Thank you so much for revealing to us that after adversity the Lord will grant rest unto His people. We need that rest in order to be at peace in our family, work spot, business, and everywhere we go. We believe in you, as you have inscribed us on the palm of your hands and you encourage us to be strong and courageous. 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 26:28, But they said, “We have certainly seen that the Lord is with you. So, Let there now be an oath between us, between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we understand that those whom God blesses and favours, have reason enough to forgive those that hate them since even the worst enemy cannot do them any real hurt. Isaac too appeared to be as much the favourite of heaven, as Abraham was. It appears from this verse that a strong sense still prevailed of God’s providence and of his ordering the affairs of men so that blessings might come on the righteous. So the Philistines not only observed this with regard to Isaac, but also desired to enter into a covenant with him on that account. The Bible says, when a man’s ways, please the Lord He makes even his enemies, to be at peace with him.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, The Philistines said, that they not only saw, Isaac prosper while he was among them, by the fullness of the land, he sowed, and by the increase of his family, his flocks, and herds, but also after he had gone from them in the valley of Gerar and later in Beersheba how God had exalted him. So they talked one to another, about his prosperity. So they decided to make a covenant with him. They said, “Do not hurt us. As we have not touched you. Thou art now blessed of Yahweh. ’’ But Isaac needed no guarantee from them as the Lord was with him.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Kings hearts are in the hands of God and when He pleases He can turn them to favour His people. So it is not wrong to deal well with those who have acted unfairly with us. But Isaac did not insist on the unkindness which the Philistines had done to him. He freely entered into friendship with them. God teaches us to be peaceable with all men. Providence smiled upon what Isaac did. God blessed his labour. The treaty with Abimelek was similar to what Abraham had with the king of Gerar. Isaac’s prosperity was a manifestation of the Lords favour. Hence Abimelech and his men desired to make a treaty with him.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for blessing Isaac with your providence. Also you have shown your favour to him and magnified him before the Philistines. Similarly please cause your face to shine upon us. May we be blessed like Isaac. Lift us up before others and reveal to others that God is in the midst of us.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given you today is from the book of 3 John 1:2, “Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.” .
Today God is calling each one of you as ‘My Beloved’. You are beloved in the sight of God. According to the world, you might be considered to be a person of less importance. But the Lord says, “My Beloved I wish, you prosper in all things just as your soul prospers.” The Lord wants you to do well in your education, your life, work place, your ministry and so on. Today God wants to perform a miracle in your life in the area where you are weak. The strength of the Lord is enough to help you prosper in life.
We see in the book of 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Apostle Paul faced shortcomings in his life. He asked God to take away his shortcomings. But God said to him, “My grace is sufficient for you. For my strength is made perfect in your weakness”. Apostle Paul rejoiced in the strength of the Lord.
You may be worried about some situation that you are going through. You might be facing some problems at your workplace or even in your family life. Do not lose hope. The Lord is always by your side. His strength is enough for you to overcome all your weaknesses. You are God’s beloved.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. I pray that You may bless Your children. Lord give them the strength that they need to overcome all their weaknesses. May they prosper in all that they do. In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. As I waited upon the Lord, the blessed word that the Lord gave me to bless you today is from the book of Jeremiah 31:20, “Is not Ephraim my dear son, the child in whom I delight? Though I often speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore my heart yearns for him; I have great compassion for him,” declares the Lord. You are a beloved child of God. God loves and cares for you. Though you might have done some unpleasant things against God, He has not forsaken you.
Are you not happy to know that God loves you in spite of your wrong deeds? You are so precious in His sight. Today, will you decide to do that which is pleasing in the sight of God!
Sometimes, God allows certain things to happen in your life. This does not mean that he wants to punish you but, He wants to draw you closer to Him. David says in Psalms 119:71, “It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees”. Even when you go through hardships, the Lord never forgets you. God is always mindful of you. God will not be able to bear the pain of what you go through. He will come to rescue you when He hears your cry for help.
When you surrender to do the will of God, He will bless you and will help you succeed in all your endeavors.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. I pray that You may bless Your dear children. Father, may You help them to understand that Your ways are higher than theirs and that You will do only what is best for them. Lord, be with them wherever they go. In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
