Dearly Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you 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 2 Corinthians 13:11 finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you. “
The First Church Corinth is a community torn by factions, Paul appeals to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same purpose.”The apostle expresses the same wish: “mend your ways,” “agree with one another,” and “live in peace” For Paul, agreeing with one another or, thinking the same way should not be read as an appeal to uniformity. The apostle has recognized and has applauded the diversity of this congregation Having that kind of love for another will facilitate living at peace and mending the factions that have torn this congregation. That kind of love, however, is not possible without the power of God’s Holy Spirit at work in the congregation. Paul’s exhortations urge the Corinthians to demonstrate fruit of the Spirit — particularly joy and peace. For Joy is a marker of God’s kingdom.
Apostle Paul wrote two letters to the Church of Corinthians. He admonished the people in the church at Corinth over various issues. In his second letter Today, The Lord is going to give you and your family the same blessings that he had given to the people of the Corinthian Church. The five kinds of blessings are the blessing of rejoicing, Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace and harmony God Himself will bless you with these blessings if you come to Him in truth and in spirit. The Bible says, The Lord takes pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
Firstly, God will meet the people who are troubled and weep in their heart, God is going to give you the blessing of Happiness as mentioned in the verse in the Bible. Then young women will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow. God’s promises are true. He is not a man to lie. He will fulfil the desire of those who fear Him. God will turn your sorrows into joy especially the young children in your house, who have lost their peace due to their own sins or troubled due to failures in their life. God is going to turn those troubles into Joy. God is going to bless the people who are finding difficulties in getting the jobs or finding it hard to settle in their career. God will settle you in your Career. God will strengthen and heal their children’s broken hearts. God is going to meet the old people who weep inside the four walls of their house. God says, He will comfort them and give him joy instead of sorrow.
God will give you today the divine happiness. God says, that He hears your cries ‘and He will bless you with His divine Happiness. The Bible says, his poor man cried and the Lord heard him, And saved him of all his troubles.
Prayer
Our Loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Lord bless us and our children, like the way You blessed the people of the church in Corinth. Bless us with peace and happiness. So that we will rejoice in You. Be merciful to your people and comfort them and keep them happy so that they shall seek all the goodness that you have stored up for them.
In Jesus Name
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 2 Kings 4:32-35.
Today we are going to meditate on how God listens to His prophets and answers to their prayers. Shunammite woman was a wealthy, married woman. In order to honour, the Prophet Elisha, she set up a guest room acknowledging him as a true prophet and holy man of God. She often compelled him to eat food at her home. So it was, as often as he passed by that way he turned in there to eat some food.
Elisha in return wanted to show some favour to her. So he called for her through his servant Gehazi, she came and stood just before him by the door. Gehazi told Elisha, that she actually had no son and her husband was rather old so Elisha said to her, “About this time next year, you shall embrace a son” And just as he had said, the woman conceived and bore a son when the appointed time had come of which Elisha had told her. It is through the prayers of this prophet that she got a baby boy and he grew up as a lad. All of a sudden the boy developed a high temperature, and the boy passed away.
What the Shunammite woman did was amazing, She took the dead body of her son and placed it on the cot in the upper chamber which she had prepared for the prophet and even without telling her husband she ran to mount Carmel in search of Prophet Elisha. As soon as she conveyed this incident, Elisha gave a staff to his servant Gehazi, and directed him to lay it on the face of the child thinking that the child would wake up at once. But she was adamant. She refused to leave until Elisha agreed to accompany her. She knew that only the words of the prophet will perform a miracle. Halleluiah!
In the mean while Gehazi went ahead and laid the staff on the face of the child but there was neither voice nor hearing. Elisha entered the chamber where the dead body of the boy was laid on the cot and he shut the door behind the two of them. He stretched himself out on the child and looking up to heaven he prayed earnestly. When he lay over the child the flesh of the child became warm, The Child sneezed seven times and the child opened his eyes. Elisha called for the Shunammite woman and said “’pick up your son”’ She fell at his feet bowed to the ground and she picked up her son and went out cheerfully. God answered the prayer of the prophet and brought life into the boy. The Bible says, The effective fervent prayer of a righteous avails much. Elisha prayed earnestly and God heard his prayer. The Bible says, in 2 Chronicles 20:20, Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established. Believe his prophets and you shall prosper. So the Shunammite woman and her son prospered because she honoured the man of God the prophet.
God has anointed and appointed men of God, to pray for the children of God. I humbly would like to share this to make people understand the glory of God. God has been using me to bless multitudes. Whenever the problem goes beyond their control people approach me for prayer. When I pray for them to the Lord, He speaks words of prophecy through me by His word. They take hold of the word that proceeds out of my mouth and it turns out to be a blessing for them. I praise God and give all the glory to God alone. I pray and bless everyone who reads this message. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for appointing prophets who can pray for the people. May those with problems be able to approach these prophets to stand in the gap and intercede for them. Help them to be true and faithful while they prophesy. Bless both the prophets and those who are in need of prayer.
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 thousands: And may your descendants possess, The gates of those who hate them.”
From the above word of God, we learn about Rebekah. She was chosen by Eliezer to be the lawful wife of Isaac , son of his master Abraham. So she along with her servant Deborah were going away from her father’s house to a distant country to Abrahams house. And her family might not see her in the future. So Rebekahs father Bethuel and her brother Laban bless 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 objects. 1. That she should be the mother of many descendants and secondly that they should be victorious over their enemies.
They actually prayed God to make her very fruitful in the land where she goes. They wished the best and choicest blessing might descend upon her and said unto her, “ May you be the mother of thousands of millions.”And accordingly she became the mother the Edomites and Israelites both were born from her own womb. 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.
Just as Bethuel and Laban blessed Rebekah 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 you are in a poverish state throughout 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 break through. 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 Isaiah 30-18 “ Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you. And therefore He will be exalted that He may have mercy on you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for Him”
From the above context we realize that our God is willing and is always waiting to help His children who totally depend upon Him. For our Lord is a God of Justice. God waits to save his children from getting into trouble. God has a right time to help us. He is a God of judgement. He is a righteous God. His waiting is full of work to fit us to receive His grace.
Today we find that God’s children are surrounded by ungodly people. Even though we are in this world we do not belong to this world spiritually. But we find many people planning to destroy us by any means. They plan to destroy our family, our children. A group of people are waiting to come against you, and wait as to when you will fall, when your family will be completely destroyed, when your children will be caught up in some kind of trouble. They rejoice at your fall. They may be your own relatives or neighbours, friends, or your own dear and near ones. They pretend to be good on the outside, but deep in their heart, they wish to see your downfall. This is the kind of attitude people have towards you.
You may not have a child to inherit your large property or your wealth. So immediately they see that you remain barren always, by trying all kinds of sorcery and witchcraft against you in order to usurp all your wealth and property for their children. They plan to grab your wealth for the simple reason that you are childless. Some wait to see when you will lose your post in the office concern, where you are employed, so that they may occupy your position or grade of work. They plan to destroy your good name, and reputation. While some try to tease and criticize and pull your legs down from your high position by spreading false or wrong information about you. While all this is happening in your life, the God of compassion is quietly waiting to show compassion and mercy to you if you look up to Him during times of distress or tribulation.
I tell you that the God of compassion is patiently waiting beside you to help you, to be gracious and merciful to you, in spite of all the efforts people have taken to act against you. For God is our refuge and strength. A very present help in trouble.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Our God is a God of Compassion. So however people try to destroy you, God is there to help you come out of all such odd situations. Reason out for yourselves when others inquire about the welfare of your children. Be cautious in all your doings. Pray to the Lord. Then He will directly reveal all things to you about your friends or other people who wish to destroy, your peace, happiness, and plans for your life. God’s waiting is very patient. God’s waiting is full of divine desire to help. Blessed are all they that wait for Him. This waiting upon God in His way with faith and patience is a surer way to your safety and happiness, than seeking any other carnal remedies. May the Lord direct your steps and help you seek God while you are in trouble.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for teaching us to depend upon God when we go through tribulation. Help us to be cautious when others inquire about our loved ones so that no harm might befall them. Give us the mind of discernment, to identify the odd person in our life and cast him aside. Save us from such people who plan to destroy us.
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 13:12 , Hope deferred makes the heart sick but when the desire comes it is a tree of life.
My dear children of God may be until now you have not received the desire of your heart. But soon God will satisfy the longing soul. When your desire comes to pass then it will be like a tree of life. The Bible says, For He satisfies the longing soul and the hungry soul He fills with good things. To Accept Jesus as your Father firstly you got to believe in Him and then you need to accept Him as the Lord and Master Of your life. Make Him the redeemer, and Saviour of your life. Some are willing to believe in Jesus but they hesitate to accept Him as the Lord and Master of their life. This indicates that you are far from receiving God’s blessing. When you receive Jesus as your personal Saviour, then God will destroy all your enemies. “The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. Every form of witch craft and sorcery will flee away from you and your family. Sometimes your own family people will suppress you because of your weakness. It may be due to poor financial condition or due to low family status. God will destroy everything that stands against you And He will place a wall of fire around you and protect you from every form of evil forces. And God will grant you victory and joy in the morning.
The Bible says, Weeping may endure for a night But a shout of joy comes in the morning. That means one may experience sorrow during the night but joy arrives in the morning. Bible gives us examples of stories like Lazarus whom Jesus raised. The sisters Mary and Martha had lost all hope when their brother Lazarus had died. Both the sisters were stricken with grief and sorrow. The hard reality of death had not destroyed their love for Him. But it had demolished their hope. They expected Jesus to come to their aid immediately But Jesus delayed visiting them for He knew that, this sickness will not end in death, but for the glory of God. He arrived in Bethany after Lazarus had been dead and buried for four days. Martha said to Jesus, “Lord if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me shall never die. And when the stone was removed, Jesus cried with a loud voice,” Lazarus, come forth. ” So Lazarus came forth from the tomb alive. Mary and Martha rejoiced to see their brother come back to life. They knew that Jesus alone could save their brothers life. Jesus changed their sorrow into joy in a moment. There was great rejoicing in the family at Bethany. Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes it is a tree of life. There was joy and merry in the house of Martha and Mary. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Teach your children to believe and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. Enable them to accept Jesus as their saviour. So that they may inherit the blessing of the Lord. Help them to draw close to Jesus and not to keep Him at a distance. Enable them to enjoy the goodness of God. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
