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
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 have 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. Then you will have good success.
God Bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank
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, 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.
Back sliding 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 dishonour 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
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 goodness 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
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, “Blessed be to God” is an ascription of praise and glory to God. God is exceedingly merciful. He delights in showing mercy to poor and miserable people, and is rich and plenteous in exercising His mercy. Not only is our God merciful but He is a God of spiritual comfort. Whatever comfort or consolation the saints enjoy comes directly from God, the Father of Christ.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, Jesus says, I will not leave you as orphans. I will come to You. God comforts us in all our tribulation that we may be able to comfort those who are in trouble. Just as Job was tested, sometimes God allows you to go through trials and temptation. And through this God wants you to trust and rely on Him for all your needs. Therefore you need to fix your eyes on Jesus the author and finisher of your faith. Thus we are encouraged to come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy. And find grace to help in time of need. The Lord is able to give peace to the troubled conscience and to calm the raging passions of the soul.
It is the nature of God to look after His people. That is why we call Him , ”Our Father”. Our God heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds. Apostle Paul had been aware of how God had helped him while he was almost at the verge of death, while ministering in Asia, in Macedonia and other places. In all these experiences Paul realised that God was constantly with him, to help him and support him. During these difficult experiences, Paul saw that God was using him to help other people too.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, God can use you also for His purpose. God will bring many people into a right relationship with Himself through you. Through Paul’s work God was making other brethrens much stronger. They very much needed the strength and courage that only God can give. If you depend on God then God will be your refuge and strength. A very present help in trouble. The God of Jacob will be your refuge. God comforted , Mary and Martha over the death of Lazarus. The Lord prepared a plant and made it come up over Jonah , that it might be shade for his head to comfort him from his misery. And Jonah was very grateful for the plant. This is how God comforts His children. David says, This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has given me life. God will comfort you also in a similar way.
May the Lord bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for comforting us through your word. Lord you heal the broken hearted and bind up their wounds especially when your children go through sufferings. We do realize that You comfort those in distress. Help us also to comfort 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 Leviticus 26:6, ” I will give peace in the land — and sword will not go through your land”.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, From the above context we learn that, God cares for His people and promises that there would be no war in their land. Our God is a peace loving God. He is not the author of confusion but of peace. The sword of the enemy shall not prevail into your land and destroy the inhabitants of it. God says, “Do not fear them for the Lord your God is the one fighting for you”. The Lord your God will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you. They shall come out against you in one way and flee before you in seven other ways. It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory. But it was the right hand of God that saved them because He loved them.
My dear Brothers and
He said “ I heard that food is being supplied after the fasting prayer meeting. So I came here to have one good meal as I did not have any way for food.”’But the spiritual food that he received in the prayer meeting was so good that all his hunger, poverty and his hopeless situation vanished away even before the food was served after the meeting. He regained confidence and received life within him.
He held on to the words that I spoke and went back home. By the abundant grace of God he got a good job, and now he is doing very well. He said, “I am now earning hand full. ” Both he and His wife began to call me Father , Father, and they began to kiss my hands, they did not wish to leave me. He further said, I came to this meeting in search of the Lord, and the Lord has blessed us with great wealth. Now I can lend money to many people to clear others debts. The Lord has blessed us with our own house.”
Dear Brothers and Sisters, this is how God works miracles for those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Today is your turn. God will not send sword to destroy you, rather He will honour you. The hands of the Lord will come upon you boldly such that your hope in Him will not go in vain. The Bible says You will lie down and no one will make you afraid. Because no debtors will stand at the front of your house. You will sleep in peace. A sword is used only when you fight with others. The sword represents all kinds of weapons used in the warfare. Such weapons will never again pass through you , but the Lord will bring an end to the use of all these weapons. When God sets His eyes upon you then your financial problems will change and your business will flourish. The Lord will fight for you and you will remain still. You will sleep well in your homes and there will be peace within your walls. You shall know that your tent is in peace. You shall visit your habitation and find nothing amiss.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for your hand of protection that constantly protects us from all danger and harm. We pray that you would bring an end to all the weapons of warfare that trouble us at times . Help us to sleep in peace and not be afraid of our enemies. May we lend and not borrow from others. Teach us to gain confidence in You and live a life of peace and harmony. 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 Leviticus. 26:4, 6, “ I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit. And you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land. I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove wild beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country”.
My dear brothers and Sisters, from the above context we understand, that the Lord is so concerned about His children. He promises to send rain in due
My dear brothers and sisters, in the same manner God wants to give you peace and help you lie down peacefully. But for this you need prosperity in life. So He wants to bring about an increase in your income, your business and ministry this year . Rain indicates prosperity. The Lord who said, that He will pour out rain in its season will pour out a great rain upon your life. The Lord will give you a blessing in your education, in your career, in your relationship, in your business, in your health and in all spheres of your life. The Lord is going to give you such a blessing as never before. Our God, is a God who fulfils by His hand, all that He has spoken by His mouth. And since the sight of the Lord is upon you, day and night you shall lack nothing. Hallelujah!
To illustrate this, I would like to explain about a brother who came to the Anbarin Padhathil Oru Naal. They did not have sufficient money for both of them to come to the meeting. So this brother alone came to the meeting without his wife. I prayed for him saying, that he will have a bright future. I said, “The Lord will bring forth a spring for you”. He held, on to these words. The very next day he was called by his friend to do a mason’s job. He took it up cheerfully. He earned some amount. He was so happy. Gradually because of his sincerity the local people in that area slowly engaged him with all kinds of construction work and soon he became a rich man. He built his own house and was able to educate his child. God totally changed his situation. God will bring a change in your life too. For He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Just believe in Jesus. He knows all your needs. The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for keeping a watch over us. Lord we know that you will never put us to shame. But you will send the rain and increase us on every side. Be gracious toward us, for you set on high those who are lowly. And those who mourn are lifted to safety. Awake for us and prosper our rightful habitation. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
