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 Job 14:14 “ If someone dies, will they live again? All the days of my hard service. I will wait for my renewal to come.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, From the above context we come to understand, that Job speaks to God, He stopped speaking to his friends. As it did not serve any purpose. He pleads with God for his mercies. He says man’s life is short and sorrowful. He thought that God was too strict and severe with him. Because during his early days, Job lived a glorious life. But a day came when he lost all that he had. His children, his cattle, his wealth and he had boils all over his body. Even his friends doubted his righteousness. They thought that he might have committed some serious sin in his life to suffer such affliction. Even his wife asked him to curse God and die. But Job says, “I will wait till my change comes.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, All Job’s expressions here shows his belief in the great doctrine of the resurrection. Since his friends proved miserable he consoles himself with the expectation of a change. He says, “’ All the days, of my appointed time, I will endure with patience. ”How the change will be, he does not know. But he thinks that it might be relief from his sufferings, or it might be happy in some future state. He was certain that life was to be passed over and that man could not go over his youth or his age again. Job says, that he would wait for the day when his renewal will come. Job knew there will be an end to all the days of hardship and affliction. But he was prepared to wait for a change to come in his life. God is able to change your bad time into a good time as He did it for Job. Because he waited with patience for that spectacular day, the day, of prosperity.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, All the blessings that you enjoy today, are given by God. He gives and takes away. And what He takes away He is able to give it back to you. The Lord will give you back all the blessings that you have lost in your life. Your job, your house, all your wealth, happiness, and peace in your family life. God will give you a double portion of blessings. The Bible says,The Lord restored Job’s losses, and the Lord gave twice as much as he had before. He will bless you with the same measure if you wait on the Lord patiently for a change until it comes.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord, we thank you for encouraging us with your word. That if we wait patiently on you, You will give us back all that we have lost in life. Help us never to sin nor charge God with wrong. Teach us to seek God during bad times. And commit our ways to God.
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 1 Corinthians 10:13, “No temptation has overcome you except such as is common to man. But God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are, but with the temptation will also make the way, of escape that you may be able to bear it.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, From this passage we understand that when you are tempted, God will provide a way out, so that you can endure it. As an ambassador of God, I tell you that God guarantees you, that God is faithful, and will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear. The Lord will give you the strength to bear it during the times of your troubles, and as a guarantee, He will also provide a way to escape out of all the problems. Helelujah! May be you are stuck in some kind of trouble. However great your problem might have been, the Bible says, “ No temptation has overtaken you, except what is common to mankind.” Wasn’t Job just a human being? Yet he faced a terrible disaster in his life. He faced his problems patiently. He did not murmur against God. So God changed his sorrow into joy. The Lord gave twice as much as he had before.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, you too might have faced such problems in your life. It might be huge debts that you cannot overcome. Or may be a terrible disease that you are suffering from, Or It might be shame caused due to some unpleasant, situation. Or you are going through some kind of failure, in your life. The Lord knows very well how much you can bear or you cannot bear. Only the Lord Jesus Christ knows your capacity.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God will permit only the difficulties that are common to mankind. Nothing beyond your capacity will happen in your life. The Lord who promised is truthful. He is truthful enough to rescue you from all your troubles. He will cause a way of escape and deliver you completely from all your problems. So make the Lord your confidence. For the Lord says, I am with you to deliver you. For God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are. God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord you know our capacity, as to how much we can bear, and accordingly you allow difficulties in our life. Teach us to bear our problems patiently and not murmur about it. Give us the strength to tolerate our affliction that we face in our life.

My dear Brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless everyone in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ . The blessed word that God has given you for today is from the book of 1 Samuel 1:27, “For this child I prayed and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of him.”
Hannah is one of two wives of Elkanah. The other, Peninnah, had given birth to Elkanah’s children, but Hannah remained childless. So one day, Hannah went up to the temple, and prayed with great weeping . Eli the High Priest heard her weeping bitterly at the altar. Hannah was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the Lord and wept in anguish. She made a vow saying, ‘’Lord if You will give me a mail child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life.” When Eli inquired the reason for her weeping she told him that she was a woman of sorrowful spirit, therefore she had poured out her heart to God. Eli said , “Go in peace, and the God of Israel will grant your petition.” Hannah conceived and bore a son. And called his name Samuel, God looked into her affliction and heard her cry and answered her prayers. God not only heard her prayer but answers everyone who cries out to him in truth and spirit.
I would like to share a testimony about a family in America. I went to Australia in July 2017. And a family came for prayers . When I asked them what I should pray for? They told me about their elder brother who was in America. They had been married for almost ten years but they had no children. So I prayed for them through the phone. I sent God’s word and believed that He will perform a miracle. I said to the Lord, “You are a God of miracles. You hear the cry of the needy. You are a God who does more than what we ask , think or pray. Therefore kindly bless my son with the gift of a child. You are a God at hand and a God afar off”. I sent the word through the phone hoping that God would perform a miracle. The word took a form within her womb, and she conceived three children in her womb. Praise be to God.
God saw her affliction and blessed her with three children. I again went to Australia in the month of July this year 2018, that family came again to meet me. I couldn’t recognize them. I asked them what I should pray for? Then they narrated the entire episode that took place in 2017 in my previous visit. They said that God had blessed their elder brother, after I had prayed with two daughters and a son. They were filled with great joy. They said that they had come to thank me. God sent forth the word and performed a miracle. God will perform a miracle for you too if you wait upon Him.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord I thank you for answering the prayers of my children. When we call You in distress you hear our cry. Lord we praise You for Your kindness. Bless all those who are in need of a child and may they rejoice in You all the days of their 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 2 Corinthians 8:9, “ For You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich yet for your sake, He became poor. ”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we learn that Apostle Paul in his letter, to the church in Corinth makes mention of the saints of Macedonia, about their concern and care for others. Because they freely gave to those who were in need. He therefore encourages the Corinthian saints, to help the poor. Paul also taught about the blessings that come to those who cheerfully give to the poor. Grace is God’s undeserved, unmerited goodness to us. By grace, God has saved us from the mouth of the grave and from being a slave to satan. Kindness and Mercy are the most beautiful acts possible to human being. The beauty of Jesus Christ is to draw you close to Him by His self giving love of Jesus. This is what grace is. There is no beauty like giving to others.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, It was grace that led God to send His only begotten son, to die on the cross, that no one should perish but have everlasting life. He loves you and therefore, He is not willing to see you perish. God knows the sinful nature of man. He knew how they had rebelled against His holy laws. He also knew that there were some men who responded to His love and would even give their lives for Him. They would willingly worship Him in truth and spirit. For their sakes, His grace was shown. The Bible says, Though He was rich He became poor. He emptied Himself. He was rich in the glory of the divine attributes, but He gave up His glory for a while and took our nature in all its poverty.
My Dear brothers and Sisters, God chose the lot of the poor, almost of the beggar. And this He did that men might see His life, of self surrender and be partakers with Him in the eternal wealth of the spirit, and find their treasure not only on earth but in heaven too. The Grace is all the more wonderful because of the majesty, and Sovereignty of the Lord. Grace is love that is shown to unworthy and transgressing recipients. For our sake the Lord Jesus “became poor” that He might lift you up into communion, with Himself.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Are you in tune with God? Is there an intimate closeness with God? Have you ever experienced the grace of God? To receive the blessings of God, you need to come out of all the things that
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Thank You for telling us that we need the grace of God to be successful in our lives. Thank You for becoming poor that we might be lifted up in our lives. We praise, you Lord for Your goodness, kindness and mercy. Help us O Lord to fix our eyes on You. and commune with You all the days of our life. Teach us more about You. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
