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.
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 Chronicles 20:20, ” Believe in the Lord Your God. And you shall be established. Believe His prophets and you shall prosper”.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God has appointed men of God or Prophets for the sake of his people. God has anointed and appointed men of God to talk, and plead and to intercede on behalf of his children. During the time of Prophet Elisha, the Shunammite woman did not have a child for many years. She had everything, but she was not blessed with a child. It was the practice or custom of the woman to invite the prophet, Elisha, while he was on his Missionary journey, to her house, give him food and let him stay on the upper room of her house. She was a woman of great honor. It was through the prayers of this great prophet that she got a baby boy. And he was growing up. All of a sudden the boy developed a high temperature and the child passed away, as she was attending to him on her lap.
She was a mother with a difference. She had a room on the upper floor of her house with a cot table and a chair. And it was exclusively for the prophet. She laid the dead body of the child on the bed in the upper room of the prophet and closed the door. Then she saddled a donkey and asked her servant to drive quickly and not to stop on the way. She went to the man of God at Mount Carmel. As soon as she conveyed the incident to him, Elisha first gave a staff to his servant Gehazi and directed him to lay it on the face of the child, believing that the baby would revive back to life. He left at once. But she was adamant or determined that she would only leave if the prophet came along with her. So Elisha accompanied her to her house. He went straight into his room and shut the door behind him and prayed to the Lord. He knew that if the boy had to come back to life then it would be possible only with God. The Lord listened to his prayer and brought back life into the child. Hallelujah! Thus we see how the Prophet of God prayed for the Shunammite son and brought him to life. He called the Shunammite woman and handed over the little boy. And departed back to his home.
Similarly, we see Moses another prophet of God who interceded on behalf of the children of God namely the Israelites. As Moses delayed coming down from Mount Sinai, the children of Israel made a golden calf and began to worship it. They provoked God to anger and sinned against Him deliberately. The wrath of God was kindled and He wanted to destroy them. So Moses went back to the Lord and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold. But now, please forgive their sin—but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.”Moses was willing to lose his heavenly position for the sake of his people who followed him diligently to the promised land flowing with milk and honey. This is the attribute of a true Prophet of God. He was willing to let go off his leadership in order to save the people of God.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, I urge you to trust in the Prophets God has appointed and be benefitted by their earnest intercession, prayer, and supplication for your needs.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. We thank you, Lord, for anointing and appointing prophets who could plead and intercede on our behalf to the Lord and grant us our petition. May the children of God believe the words of the prophets and prosper in 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 Jeremiah 31:14 “I will satisfy the priests with abundance and My People will be filled with My bounty.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we understand that God will satisfy the needs of His people. The Bible says, God, scattered Israel, throughout the land. Therefore He knows where to find them. It is clear and comfortable to observe the goodness of the Lord regarding the gifts of Providence. God promises to satisfy His people with His loving kindness. God further promises to bless the priests, by giving success in their ministry and letting them see the fruit of their labor, and make them rejoice. Hence the priests of the Jews after the captivity kept the feast, of the dedication of the temple with joy. The Bible says The Lord had made the people joyful. And the people were satisfied with the Lord’s goodness.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, the Bible says, that there would be no manner of trouble and affliction in those times among the people. Thus the Lord met the needs of the priests. In the same way, the Lord wants to satisfy the needs of His children. God wants to bless you with all good things. We see that many people do not have sound sleep. This is because they are controlled by the evil spirit. Satan does not permit them to live in peace and harmony. Satan wants to make them mad, and let them suffer in their normal lives. They would behave in a peculiar manner and if questioned they would say, they did not have proper sleep the previous night. Such people would not be able to do anything correctly. Sleep is essential to maintain a healthy life. To sleep well you need the grace of God.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, do you have proper sleep? Are you worried about the issues of your family? Is something worrying you and are you not able to come out of it. The Bible encourages us to put our trust in God as an assurance of peaceful resting. If you are troubled by worries then your sleep will be disturbed. For worries prevent you from sleeping. So you need to cast your anxieties upon the love and sovereignty of God. When deep sleep falls on people as they slumber in their beds, they see dreams and visions at night. Once when Jesus spoke about Lazarus of Bethany to his disciples, He said, “Our friend Lazarus sleeps. But I go that I may awake him up.” But the disciples of Jesus said, to him, “ Lord if he sleeps, he will get better.”Yes if you sleep well you will get better.” Sound sleep provides sufficient rest during the night as we recover our energy, to take on the next day. David in his Psalms says, “ I lie down and sleep. I awake again Because the Lord sustains me.”He says, In peace, I will lie down and sleep, for you alone Lord make me dwell in safety.” God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord, we thank you for telling us of the importance of sound sleep. We also thank you for giving us rest through deep sleep. Remove all our worries and troubles that cause distress and disturb our sleep. Give us the grace to sleep well so that we may have a healthy life. In Jesus name, we pray.
Amen.
