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, Psalm 1:3, “He shall be like a tree, Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf shall not wither And whatsoever he does shall prosper”.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, the Lord will prosper you in all the work of your hand. May be until this time you have only experienced failures in your life. But in future the Lord will prosper the effort of your work. Many would have done evil to you but God will change every evil to your good. Joseph said, to his brothers, But as for you, you thought evil against me, but God meant it unto good, to bring it to pass, as it is this day to save much people. Hallelujah! In case anybody had thought it evil and done evil for you then it will turn out for your good. He turns and changes it in favor of you. People will look at you and be surprised.
This psalm shows us the Holiness and Happiness of a godly man. The sinfulness and misery of a wicked man. A godly man does not walk in the council of the ungodly, even though he is surrounded by evil men, sinners and the scornful. The man who is blessed proves to be a happy man.
God says,you will be planted by the rivers of water. Like trees that appear to be a tree of righteousness filled with the fruits of grace of the spirit and of good works. These trees are rooted and built upon Jesus Christ and established in the faith of Him. You will be like trees planted by the rivers of water that brings forth fruit in its season and its leaf will not wither and whatsoever you do will prosper. These trees are like that of a green olive tree, or a palm tree, or a cedar in Lebanon to which David compares himself and the righteous. To prosper you need to meditate on the word of God day and night. Such people will be blessed.
My Dear Brothers and sisters, this is a psalm of instruction concerning good and evil, setting before us life and death, the blessing and the curse. That we may take the right way, which leads to happiness. The psalmist tells about the difference between those that serve God and those that do not serve God. The psalmist speaks about the righteous and unrighteous, the children of God and the children of the wicked one. Hence you need to have a good perspective of your future. A person filled with spirit of God who does everything in faith, to the glory of God and in the name of Christ prospers and therefore is a happy man.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly, Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for helping us to understand the way of righteousness. To choose that which is perfect and right in the sight of God. Help us to be planted like trees by the rivers side. So that we may be fruitful in and out of season. May we prosper in all the work of our hand as You have promised. 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 Daniel 3:17, 18,” If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace. And He will deliver us from your hand. But if not, let it be known to you O king that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up”.
The above context is about the three friends of Daniel namely Shad rack, Meshach and Abed –Nego. These three men were determined to serve the living God. They refused to bow before the golden image which king Nebuchadnezzar, had set up. They were clear about their calling. They knew the purpose of God’s calling in their lives. So they boldly challenged the king of Babylon. Though the king increased the heat of the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated they still refused to bow before the golden image. That was their determination for God. As a result the king commanded the mighty men to cast them into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. So they were bound and thrown into the midst of the fire. The king was astonished to see four men loose walking in the midst of the fire and they were not burnt. The fire had no power over their bodies. The hair of their head was not burnt, nor their garments affected, and the smell of the fire was not on them. The king was surprised to see these three men strolling about, in the midst of fire alive. He strongly believed that there was no other God, who can deliver like this. So he promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abed- Nego in the province. This is how God exalts His people. In a moment they were upgraded. Life was transformed.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, God can transform your life too if you will submit yourself to the Lord, like these three men who knew their calling and were firm in their decision. They had great faith in the God whom they served. I am sure God has a purpose for you in your life. You have been called to do something special in life. For He who is called you is faithful. You need to know the definite will of God. You should know why God has called you for. Where there is no guidance the people fall. But in abundance of counselors there is victory. You need to heed to the voice of God. Because our plans sometimes fall for lack of knowledge. The major factor in the down fall of Israel was because Solomon, began worshiping the false gods. Be firm in your calling. If you need to be healthy , wealthy, and lead a contented life, then you need to cling on to Jesus, who is the author and finisher of your faith. When you are firm about your calling then you can avert from being fallen. Whether it is your education, business, job undertaking or marriage settlement, seek Gods counselling. Then you shall be successful.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for instilling an urge to remain true to You in our life. To seek Your counselling in all that we do. Lord reveal your plan and purpose for me in my life. Help us to be like the three friends of Daniel who stood the test, and rose victoriously to greater heights. In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
My Dearly beloved 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 15:11, ” These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you and that your joy may be full”. In the above context Jesus explains about the vine and the branches. Jesus said, “I am the true vine and you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him bears much fruit”.
My dear Brothers and Sisters God expects His children to abide in Him. If we abide in Him and He in us then we will be fruitful. The Lord takes pleasure in those who hope in His mercy. When you are united in Him, rooted and grounded in Him then you become unshakable. And your relationship with the Lord becomes similar to that of the bridegroom over the bride, which will always, remain and continue the same, for there is always, a reason to rejoice in Him, even in the most afflictive circumstances of life.
To enjoy the fruitful life with God we need to keep the commandments of God, as He kept His Fathers commandments and abided in His love. I would entreat such persons,however to recollect what our blessed Lord has demonstrated for us on the cross of Calvary, in order to rescue us from the bondage of sin and slavery and has saved us from the mouth of the grave.
Yes it was just prior to facing the agonies of Calvary that Jesus spoke of these things.In fact it was the only time that He spoke of His joy. His joy is different from that of the world. It is the joy of Christ.—- that “My joy may be in you” is the desire of our Lord Jesus Christ. This abiding joy is not found anywhere else except in Him. To have this abiding joy we need to possess Him. Having a burning desire to read Gods word, Be submissive to Him, and be filled with the Holy Spirit then you shall be fruitful.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank you for filling us with Your joy. Help us to be rooted and grounded in You Lord. May we enjoy the richness of your glory. Teach us to refrain ourselves from all the worldly things that distract us from keeping in tune with the Lord. May we be fruitful in the land of the living. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. As I waited upon the Lord with tears, the word that the Lord gave me to bless you is from the book of Luke 1:13,14 ‘But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth’.
The Lord has an appointed place and time for each and every blessing. Even if it takes time, He will do it. He is a God who will fulfill all that He has spoken. Today, the Lord says ‘your request has been heard’. Do not be troubled. The Lord has decided to fulfill all the desires of your heart. He is going to give answers to all your pending prayer requests. God is looking upon you and telling, ‘All your sorrows are going to turn into Joy’.
The Lord who blessed Elizabeth according to the desires of her heart is faithful enough to fulfill your desires too. Are you dejected in life because of the problems you face? Or are you worried that you do not have a proper job? This is what the Lord says to you this day: “Take heart; do not be worried about anything for I have everything under control”. Rejoice in the Lord. He is all powerful to perform a miracle in your life.
God Bless You
Prayer:
Our Loving heavenly Father, I thank you for this blessed day. Lord, You have said that You will not test them beyond their capacity. I pray that You may perfect all that concerns your children in due time. Father, may You grant all the desires of their heart. In Jesus Name we Pray,
Amen.
Dear Beloved Brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet you all and Bless you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. As I waited upon the Lord with tears, the word that the Lord gave me to bless you is from the book of Isaiah 61:7 ‘Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours’.
The Lord is about to bless you with double Honor and Blessings this year. This year, God is going to equalize all the failures that you have had with a double honor over your life. God is going to make you a lender and not a borrower; the head and not the tail. There might have been people who have made fun of you because of your problems. But in this day, the Lord is going to make you a double portion of blessing over your life.
Our God is a God who is capable of giving you name instead of shame. You have to ask God, ‘Lord Jesus, You have promised that you will make me a person of honor and fame this year, what do you expect me to do for that?’ Ask the Lord to teach you the things that He is willing for you to do. When you ask the Lord for His guidance, he will guide you in the way you should go.
God Bless You
Prayer:
Our Loving Lord Jesus, I thank you for this blessed day. I pray that You may bless Your beloved children with your precious Grace and give them a great name instead of their shame. In Jesus Name we Ask and Pray,
Amen.
