I greet and bless 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 Numbers 23:23 , There is no divination against Jacob, no evil omens against Israel. It will now be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘See what God has done!’
From the above context we learn that Balaam was called by Balak the king of Moab, to curse Israel. But Balaam found that all his enchantments, and divinations, signified nothing and would never prevail, to bring a curse upon Israel. He knew it was vain thing for him to use them. And it was also vain for Balak to expect anything from them. Neither Balaam nor any other enchanter, or soothsayer, can use all the arts, they had practiced to hurt the people of Israel, who were the peculiar treasure of God. No one could ever stand against them as they were considered precious in His sight.
Dearly Beloved, people would have asked you, what has your God done for you? You have been going to the church regularly. What did you benefit by going to church? They might have criticized you. You would have been put to shame by them because you have not seen any good days in life. But they are all doing well in life. But nothing big has happened in your life. And so you may be disappointed. Yet you have not lost your hope in God , therefore today God is going to make you count all the good things that He has done for you.
If you are not able to list down His goodness or you are not able to rejoice in God’s work due to some satanic bondage you would have lost God’s blessings. Some satanic bondage is stopping you to rejoice all the blessings that God has blessed you with. You may be worried that you don’t know what is happening in your life. You may think that you have lost everything in your life. But today God says, that “There is no Divination against Jacob and no evil omens against Israel”. God loves and cares for Israel. God says, “Look I have found you in the furnace of affliction.”See I have inscribed you on the palms of My Hand, Your walls, are continually before Me.”
God has blessed you, but evil bondage has chained all your blessings until now, God is going to break those chains, barriers and bondages and liberate you. No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from Me,” declares the Lord.” Sometimes you may suffer from serious sickness in your body this is because of evil bondage. Once Jesus was teaching in the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God. In the same manner God will cure you today, of your sickness that is due to curse or evil spirit.
The Lord will not let the enemies who rise up against you be prosperous. They will come against you from one direction but flee from you in seven direction. God will rebuke all the things that brought you shame. Your failures, your debts, or your diseases would have brought shame to you, whatever it is. God of Israel will not put Israel to shame. They could devour hostile nations and break their bones in pieces; and with their arrows they pierced them. God gave the strength of a wild ox to the people of Israel while they departed from the land of Egypt. Likewise, today, God will bless you with the strength of a wild ox. And you will rejoice over all the blessings that God has blessed you.
Prayer
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord, bless us with your goodness. We are patiently waiting for, whatever goodness that is yet to come. Lord will never put us to shame before others. Grant us good health, strength, skill to work, intelligence, wisdom, and good understanding. Remove all sickness from our body and break all the evil chains that we are caught up with, deliver us and make us free from all the bondages.
In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
Dearly Beloved, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of Isaiah 40:31 “But those who wait upon the Lord, Shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”
From the above context, we do understand that where God had begun the work of grace, He will perfect it. He will help those who wait in humble dependence upon Him. In the strength of Divine grace, their souls, shall ascend, above the world. They shall run according to God’s commandments cheerfully. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. Which means, they shall put forth fresh feathers like the eagle. They shall run and not be weary. Which means that they who trust in God, would be vigorous, elevated, unwearied, that He would sustain and uphold them. And that they would not faint while doing His service.
Today is the day when the Lord is going to give you new strength. His mercies are new every morning. God desires to bless His children with new mercy and grace every day. He grants such mercy to children who wait on the Lord for a long period of time. In that matter for which you have been waiting for so long a time, God wants to perform a miracle for you. Today as you are reading this message, many good things will happen in your life. But you need to wait on the Lord patiently. When you expect a great blessing from God you need to wait for a period of time and this involves patience. Only when you wait you will realize the greatness of receiving your reward.
People who wait, on God without using any means to obtain his goal, is meaningless. For instance the farmer who awaits a good crop should wait on God, while he ploughs and sows his field. He should do his part and wait patiently for the Lord to display his power and greatness. Such people will renew their strength. Which means, they shall increase, renew and cause to revive and restore that which is decayed.
We need to wait upon the Lord as children wait on their parents, to do them honour, and receive food and blessings from them. As servants depend upon their masters, to do their work and have their wages. As clients on their patrons to have advice of them. The waiting implies of course, the expectant attitude of faith. Even the eagle with hope renews its plumage in extreme old age. Because, there is no failure for the faithful, and faith knows no weariness.
The Psalmist says, I will wait for the Lord, who hides his face from the house of Jacob. I will look eagerly unto the Lord, for help. No one who puts His hope on the Lord will be put to shame. Therefore I urge you Brethren to wait on the Lord and be of good courage. The Lord will grant you new strength and perform miracles as He has promised you in the future. He satisfies the longing soul, and fills your mouth with good things. So that your youth is renewed like the eagles. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we are thankful to you for appointing opportunities, and means for us to achieve our blessings that you have stored up for us. Teach us to wait patiently and with an act of reverence to receive our goals. Lord grant us new strength. That we may soar high like the eagles and reach great height in our lives.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
Dearly Beloved, 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 Joshua. 1:5, “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses So I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage, for to this people, you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.”
From the above context we understand that Moses the elect leader of the people of Israel, who went up to mount Nebo to the top of Pisgah looked over the promised land, of Israel and died at the age of 120 in Moab. He did not enter the land of Canaan. As a result all the people were distressed and troubled in their heart over the death of their leader who had brought them up to the borders of Jordan. Now there was doubt, fear, and anxiety in the minds and hearts of the people of Israel. They wondered as to who would lead them further into the land of Canaan. And it was at that time when God appointed Joshua as the next leader to lead the people of Israel into the land of Canaan.
When Joshua was elected as the next leader of Israel, he was troubled in his heart, as to what he was going to do in future with the people of Israel, and how he was going to lead them into the land of Canaan. So God called Joshua, and assured him that He was there with him and asked him not to be troubled. He tells Joshua, “’No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses So I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage, ”God actually encouraged Joshua, to carry out his mission. After Elijah God chose Elisha, Apostle Paul prepared Timothy to carry on his discipleship. The death of ministers, apostles and preachers cannot arrest the task of the Lord. God Himself appointed new leaders as soon as the former leader had completed his task.
Some of you like Job, who have lost everything in life, are reading this message. May be you are disturbed in your heart as to what God has in store for you. Well it is only in such trying period, that you tend to draw close to God. Both Job’s wife and his friends criticised Job for his righteousness and asked him to curse God and die. But Job never sinned against God by his mouth. Therefore God blessed the latter part of his life. Only when you go through a great loss in your life, God changes your sorrow into joy. God immediately changed the sorrow of the people of Israel into joy by electing a new leader Joshua, to take care of them in the wilderness. God tells Joshua, “Be strong and of good courage, do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you, wherever you go. Similarly God is encouraging you today that He will lead you safe in the land of the living. He will instruct you with His eyes and lead you beside the still waters. Though you walk through the way of darkness, He will lead you with His rod and staff, So be cheerful in the Lord. Hold on to Him, then he will turn your sorrow into joy.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we are thankful to you for appointing new leaders the moment the former leader completes his task. Thank you Lord for your care and concern regarding the people of Israel. You not only led them to the land flowing with milk and honey but also made Joshua to distribute the land as an inheritance which God had sworn to their fathers. Lord bless us, as you blessed the Israelites.
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 Luke 18:27 Jesus Said, “ What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
From the above context we learn that our God is known as Elshaddai, God Almighty. Lord Jehovah Jireh God who provides. He is a mighty God, He is an awesome God, with such a God, all things are possible. What is impossible with man is possible with God. Jesus once said to the rich young ruler, ‘’Sell all that you have and follow Me.” The young man went away sorrowful. Christ then turned to his disciples and said, “It is very hard for those who are rich to enter into the kingdom of God. ‘’The disciples were greatly astonished and answered, “If it is so difficult to enter the kingdom, who then can be saved? And Christ gave this blessed answer. “The things which are impossible with man is possible with God. “’ Then Jesus explains that what is impossible with man is possible with God.’’ He can enable wealthy men to walk humbly before God as Abraham did. Just as He can enable a poor man like Lazarus to do so. He is able to save to the utmost, all those who come to Him through Jesus.
He is the God of the impossible. It is a reminder that, if it was not for God’s all prevailing goodness not one of us would be saved. But nevertheless it is necessary for us to thrust aside anything that hinders us from following God fully. God knew that in the case of this young man the problem was that he was too bound, to his possessions. God knew that unless they were removed they would ever be a burden around his neck. His heart would never be set on God. Thus he had to choose between God and mammon and he had to choose decisively.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, have you made a right choice in your life? Are you busy with the affairs of this world and all its wealth. Is your heart set on the things of this world ? The Bible says, For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil. And some while, longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves through many sorrows. Apostle Paul charges those that are rich in this world, that they may not be high minded. Nor trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. For Godliness with contentment is great gain. May the Lord give you the grace to discern for yourself that which is right and pleasing in the sight of God. We pray that the Lord help you to set your affection on things above and not on things on the earth. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord teach us not to be bound by the things of this world. Help us to make a proper decision, with regard to godliness and seek those things that are above. Let our life be hid with Christ in God. May we put off the old man with his deeds and be renewed in Christ. Help us to realise that what is impossible with man is possible with 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 Isaiah 26:3 “You will keep him in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, In order for us to have peace, all we need to do is to focus our minds on the Lord, then we begin to trust in Him and His power. This wonderful promise was given to Isaiah when Israel, was going through its darkest period. We see even today, that many people are surrounded by much gloominess, and depression and when we are constantly threatened with the three great enemies of doubt, fear and worry, we need to keep our minds fixed on the Lord Jesus Christ and realize how precious and comforting these words become to us.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, God is telling you to cling on to Him firmly from this day onwards. At times you might have been unsuccessful in achieving your goals. And this may be because you had left Jesus behind. But from now on you hold on to Him. Then you will find a progress in your life. God is not happy with those who backslide from the Lord. The Bible says, “For a righteous man fall seven times and yet he rises again.” The Peace which God offers is very practical. And this can be experienced by us through His grace. And this peace can be attained by trusting our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul through his letters encourages the Philippians to rejoice in the Lord always. He says, “ Rejoice in the Lord always, and I say again rejoice.” Let your gentleness be evident to all. For the Lord is near, therefore do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanks giving present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. The Lord Jesus Christ procured peace for us, upon the cross of Calvary, and that peace is conveyed to our hearts and minds by the Holy Spirit, as stated in the Bible. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness and faithfulness. Further the Bible says, Great peace will come to those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, God gives us a guarantee that if we will walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, He will keep our hearts, in perfect peace. If we do our part, then He will do His part. Therefore I encourage you to love the Law(commandments) and meditate in it day and night then observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then you will make your way, prosperous and then you will have good success. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You Lord for having procured peace for us on the cross of Calvary. Teach us to keep Your commandments. Help us to cling on to You O Lord, for all our needs. Be with us and guide us in our day to day life. May we enjoy the fruit of the spirit in our life. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
