The Peace of God

 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 Sisters God loves you too. He cares for you. He wishes to save you from all your problems, your difficulties and all your worries. So cast all your cares upon Him.  I wish to illustrate how a brother who was so poor and had nothing at all to mention,  came to meet me at the Anbarin Paathathil  Oru Naal Prayer Meeting and after I prayed for him how things turned in favour of him.

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.

You shall live in Peace

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 season, so that the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit.  And they will be able to eat in plenty and live in safety in their land. The trees of the field yielded fruits like figs, olives, pomegranates, with which the land of Israel abounded. The Lord promises to grant peace to the people of Israel, He says, “I will give peace in the Land.” The Lord promises to keep his people free from riots,  contentions and civil wars among themselves. God comforts them by saying “’You  shall lie down and none shall make you afraid.”God promises that his people would lie down upon their beds, and they shall sleep quietly and comfortably and not be afraid of thieves and robbers. God also says that He will get rid of all the beasts, like lion, bears, wolves and no sword shall destroy His people.

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.

Prisoner to Prince

My dear Brothers  and sisters   in Christ,   I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.  The blessed word that God has given you for today is from the book of Genesis 50:20, “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to  accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives”.

 Dear Brothers and Sisters,  Joseph was a unique character in the Bible.   Joseph held on to God firmly.   Joseph   was the  most  loved son of  Jacob. His brothers were jealous of him so they threw him into the pit. Later they sold him to the merchants as a slave. The brothers told his father that a wolf had eaten  him up and Jacob was in great sorrow.  Jacob mourned for his son many days.  There in Egypt Joseph was purchased  by Potipher  an  Egyptian Officer. Potipher   trusted Joseph the Hebrew,  much.

In Potipher’s house, he was appointed as the head man.  Potipher’s wife desired to be intimate with him. But Joseph continuously refused to oblige to her request.  He said, “’How can  I do this great wickedness  and sin against God? “  One day, she grasped his garment.  But Joseph  slid out of his clock and ran outside.  He ran away from committing sin. This self control earned him the appellation , Joseph the righteous.   Potipher’s   wife  accused him  falsely,  as a result, Joseph was thrown into the prison  though  he did  not  do any wrong. Yet he patiently endured the sufferings.   Even in  the  prison he was made the head man. He never lost his faith in the God of Israel. In the prison he found favor in the eyes of the warden.   Along with him the kings cup bearer   and   baker were  imprisoned . They had dreams while they were in the prison.  Joseph interpreted their dreams. According to his interpretation,   the   butler   returned-to  the kings palace within three days. But the chief baker was hanged just as Joseph had interpreted. 

Two years later,  king Pharaoh  had  a dream and Joseph  was summoned,  to the palace by Pharaoh. So from the prison he was taken to the palace. He was asked to interpret the dreams the butler had reminded the king of a young  Hebrew man who had interpreted his dream. Joseph said to   Pharaoh, “Iris not in me;   God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace. There in the palace Joseph interpreted  what God had revealed to him , that was about to happen in Egypt.  The Pharaoh said to his servants can we find such a one as this,  a man, in whom is the spirit of God? And Pharaoh said to Joseph ”See I have set you over all the land of Egypt.” Impressed by Joseph’s wisdom, Pharaoh appointed  Joseph as the governor, of Egypt next to King himself.  

Dear brothers and sisters , Thus we see how  Joseph , from a prison, was exalted to the post of a governor. He married the daughter of  Potipherah, a priest.  He was blessed with two sons,   Manasseh   and Ephraim. God exalts   those   that   humble   themselves. Even  though Joseph was hurt and envied by his brothers, he never rebelled   against   them?   Instead   he   provided   food for the   entire family of his father Jacob  during  famine, when they came to Egypt for settlement. He told his brothers, God   sent  me before you to preserve a  posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives.  They  schemed evil for him but God turned  it  for his good. God  changed his sorrow into joy.  

God bless you.

Prayer:

Our loving heavenly Father, we thank  You for this blessed day.   Lord we thank you for revealing to us the greatness of being humble in our lives. Teach  us to be like Joseph  who in spite of being hated by his brothers still continued to hold on to Jesus. He never retorted with his brothers instead he forgave them of their mistake. Help us to continue in faith  and hold on to Jesus  all the days of our life.  In Jesus Name we pray.

 Amen.

Be content with what you have

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 Hebrews 13:5 , “Let your conduct be without covetousness and be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

My dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we learn that our conversation should be without, covetousness. For it is an immoderate desire of riches and being over anxious for worldly things. And not being in any way useful to others. Rather being self orient. Instead of making use of one’s talent for the glory of God, they engage themselves in laying up treasures for a man’s own self. This is a very great evil. A believer’s conversation should be seasoned with grace. Godly people are expected to deal uprightly.

Secondly be content with such things as you have. A true child of God should be content with such things as they have, may be present losses, burdens, present reproaches and afflictions, and showing contentment with these things, shows your gratitude for every mercy that God has shown to you, and your ultimate submission to God.

Thirdly , He has said, “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.” This is a promise that God made to Joshua, and this belongs to all the believers. “As I was with Moses so I will be with you.” That is why David says, “I have been young, and now am old. Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken nor his descendants begging bread.” God will not leave them to themselves, nor will he leave them, destitute of his presence. For though He sometimes hides his face and withdraws himself, yet not wholly will he forsake His children.

My dear Brothers and Sisters, the above context assures you of Gods awesome providence and His mighty arm of protection. The above verse expresses his good counselling to the church of the Hebrews. He instructs them with a view that they might not be forsaken by God. What God really expects of you is to be content, with what you have, and to be thankful, to God for all that he has blessed you with.

Today we find that many are dissatisfied with what they have. But the Bible says, Godliness with contentment is great gain. Godliness is a God centred life. Dear Brothers and Sisters are you God centred? Are you focused on things pertaining, to God and His kingdom? Then the Lord will bless you with all the things of this world. Good health, good job, wealth and prosperity. For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro, throughout the whole earth. To show Himself, strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.

God bless you.

Prayer:

Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you for teaching us to be content with what we have. Help us to be God centred. And be focused on the things of God rather than worldly things. Teach us to be loyal to God and those around us. You are a God who has not forsaken us. We thank you Lord for your eyes that watch over us and for supporting those who are loyal to You. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.

No weapons shall prosper against you

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 54:17,  “No weapon formed against you shall prosper. And every tongue which rises against you in judgement, you shall condemn”.  

My dear Brothers and Sisters,  from the above context we come to understand   that  all the weapons  of  war which are made with a design to hurt and destroy the people of God shall be rendered useless, not one of them shall prosper to the advantage of their enemies.   All those who serve the Lord Jesus Christ shall be treated as sons rather than as servants.   And they have an inheritance assigned to them. Not only protection from all enemies,  and absolutions from all charges.  But they shall receive the reward, of the inheritance   in heaven, since they serve the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says, who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Therefore who is he who condemns the children of God.  For it is Christ who died for you and is also risen and  seated  at the right hand of God and who also makes intercession for you.  People  of  God who are afflicted and tossed and go through grief and fear would be comforted by these words which says, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper”. 

“And every tongue which raises against you in judgement you shall condemn.” which means no one shall be able to injure you by words and accusations. If others reproach you and accuse you then you shall be able to convince them of error by manifestation of the truth to condemn them. God looks at you my dear Brothers and Sisters   and says, “No harm shall befall you.” No enemy shall prevail against you. God will deliver you not only from the fury of the war, but also from the strife of tongues,  from  all the threatening and reproaches of your enemies.  This is the heritage or blessings allotted by God for his people who go through affliction.

My Dear Brothers and Sisters you may be trembling because of the losses, sickness, failures,  or problems  each day of your life. But God says, He will take the cup of trembling, and put it into the hands of those who afflict you. Many may turn against you or plot evil against you, but none of them will prosper. The Lord will cover and protect you under the shadow of His wings. Therefore rejoice in the Lord always.

God bless you.

Prayer: 

Our   loving   heavenly Father, we thank   You   for this blessed day.  Lord deliver  us from the hands of our  enemies.  You O Lord have assured us, that no evil shall befall us, and you will be with us in trouble and will deliver us and honour us. Lord protect us from sudden terror and the troubles from the wicked. Thank you Lord for being  our confidence. In Jesus name we pray.

Amen.
