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.
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.
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.
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.
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 John 16:33, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” These were the last words spoken by Jesus to His disciples. The above context is the conclusion of our Lords sermons to His disciples.
Jesus was sharing about His departure from the Earth, to prepare a place for them and all about the persecutions and afflictions they should endure for His sake and the many blessings, both of grace and glory they should enjoy. He also spoke to them, about the oncoming tribulation in the world. While there were tribulations and problems in the world He realised that there was no true peace to be enjoyed for the people in the world. He knew very well that the world could not give that peace. One can enjoy real peace only through Christ who is the object of all grace.
Christ gives peace by His blood on the cross; and there is peace in Him which is enjoyed through faith. Christ is the omniscient God and truth Himself. Christ became a fountain of peace. He says to His disciples, “Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
My dear brothers and sisters, today the Lord wants you to live in peace and harmony. It is the devil who comes to steal, kill and to destroy. But Jesus came that you may have life and that you may have it more abundantly.
Everyone has troubles in this world. No one is at peace. Everyone goes through oppression. But God will not tempt you beyond, your capacity. The Bible says, “No temptation has overtaken you except, what is common to mankind. And God is faithful.” He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear. Therefore, however the situation may be; Remember that God is in control of your life. He will solve all your problems. He will deliver you from all your obstacles. Cast your care upon Him for He cares for you.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord you know the pain and agony that your children go through. Relieve them of their distress. Do not test them beyond their capacity. Lord! send your angels and comfort them. Wipe away their tears. Change their sorrow into joy. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
