My dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. On this occasion on behalf of all the members of God’s Love Ministries and the members of my family, I wish you a Merry Christmas. While all of you are in a festive mood, I would like to share God’s word, from Micah 5:2 ,“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”
My dear Children of God, two thousand years ago, in the city of David, Jesus who was born for your sake, is today, coming to be born in you, to govern you to guide you. God has risen to live inside your heart. God expects that all our hearts be decorated with His presence.
Our Lord Jesus is a loving God. His love is unconditional. In the Bible we read about a woman who was caught red handed in prostitution. Jesus called her my dear daughter, he did not call her as sinner. He looked at the crowd who wanted to stone her to death, and said,” He who is without sin among you let him throw a stone at her.” They thought for a while and slowly they walked away, They had sinned. There was sin in them. There was something less in them.
My dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ, today think about your life. Have you been hurt by your husband or by your wife or by your children or by your relatives . Do not have any grudges against them. You may think, how can I forgive them. How can I stoop down and talk to them. If Lord Jesus had desired to be born in a royal family , He could have chosen it. But He was born in a carpenter’s family. He did it in order to prove His humble nature. So don’t hesitate to stoop down, for after all they are your loved ones. Can’t you forgive them? So just come down one step, that is what will tell that you live for Jesus and Jesus reigns in your heart. Today like Jesus forgave the sinners , forgive people who have hurt you. God will heal the hurt in your heart. Decide to call your loved ones whom you have not forgiven and forgive them with all your heart. Call them for this festive season and share the love of Christ.
If the forgiving Jesus has come inside you, and reigns in you, then this is the sign of real Christmas celebration.
Have a blessed Christmas with your loved ones.
God bless.
Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father, Bless my children during this festive season, Let all auspicious and blessed occasions happen in their life and let all the obstruction be removed from them. During this festive season, I pray that my children will forgive the hurts caused by their loved ones and will re unite with them. I bless that you open the wombs that are closed. And bless them with the gift of children. Let the good news of the birth be proclaimed to all those whose womb is closed until now. Let poverty and famine be irradiated from every one of them. Let them see the fruit of salvation in every member. Let the redeemer Jesus Christ, save every member of their family. Put upon them the cover of your salvation. In the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, I bless each and every one. In Jesus Name I 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, the blessed word that the Lord gave me to bless you today is from the book of Exodus 34:10, “Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you”.
God will do wonders for you as never before in front of all those people who considered you to be useless, who cursed you, who despised you and who caused pain to you. Until God accomplishes His promise in your life, He will never leave you nor forsake you. He is a faithful God. He is a God of promise. God wants you to be sanctified; so that He will be able to do wonders in your Life. Joshua 3:5 says, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you.”
When God brought the people of Israel out from their bondage, God performed mighty miracles. God did wonders through Moses for the Israelites. If this is true and if you believe that God delivered the people of Israel by performing miracles, He will perform miracles for you too. John 11: 40 says, “If you believe you will see the glory of God”.
As God performed miracles through Moses and honored him in the midst of the Egyptians, He will honor you in all your endeavors. Be prepared to experience the wonders that God is going to perform in your life. Your sorrow will be turned into Joy.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for giving us this day. We see in the book of Job 5:9, “He does wonders beyond numbers.” I pray that You may give Your children the grace to sanctify themselves; so that You will be able to perform wonders in their life. Bless Your dear children. 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 Ruth 1:16, But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.” When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.
The above context shows the intimate relationship between Ruth and Her mother in law Naomi. Naomi went with her husband and her two sons to Moab from Bethlehem as there was a famine in the Land. Suddenly her husband died and she somehow managed to live with her sons peacefully. She got them married with Moabites women. During the course of time her two sons also died leaving their young wives as widows. It was a miserable and painful moment for Naomi. So she decided to leave Moab and return back to Bethlehem. She was so frustrated in life that she called her daughter in laws and asked them to return to their father’s house.
Orpah kissed her mother in law and went to her home. But Ruth refused to return to her father’s house. She held on to her mother in law firmly and said, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.” She held on to Naomi because she loved Jesus. Since she came along with Ruth, God blessed her abundantly. She worked for Boaz a rich man, in his farm and found grace in the eyes of Boaz. Later she got married to him. God rejuvenated her life once again. She was like a dry parched tree but God made her bloom. God rewarded her for her faithfulness to her mother in law. God is a righteous God. Orpah’s story ended after she left Naomi. But the story of Ruth continues. The book of Ruth in the Bible, speaks volumes about her goodness. Therefore God blessed her with a son Obed, through whose genealogy Jesus was born. Thus God blessed the latter part of their life, both Naomi and Ruth.
Dear Brothers and Sisters I urge you to hold on to Jesus the way Ruth held onto her mother in law. Then your life will be prosperous. He makes all things new. God says, I will gird you, though you have not known Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other, I make peace. I the Lord do all these things.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You Lord for teaching us to hold on to Lord Jesus Christ. Help us to be like Ruth who never forsook her mother in law even in her old age. May we share the love of God with others in our life. Teach us to be humble and long suffering so that we may attain God’s grace. 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 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 James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” The scripture says, that all those who looked at Gods face became radiant. In the same manner those who are struggling in the darkness are brought to light. Privately given gifts pacify wrath and payments made secretly appease great anger. So gifts play an important role in the life of a person. But one must remember that every gift and perfect gift comes from the Father of lights.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, you are blessed every day with certain benefits, but you may not have realized that they have been given to you by God. The Bible says, God daily loads us with benefits,even the God of our salvation. God blesses his children with several gifts. Almost every day we experience the blessings of God in one way or the other. God has blessed you with a good family, good job, children, wealth, business, property; you may be holding a good status in the society, all these are gifts that God has blessed you with. Every such gift is from above and is not from a man’s self or from below but from heaven and from God. who dwells, there and comes down from the father of lights, with whom there is no partiality.
The word gift denotes the act of giving. The emphasis is on the giver. God is the author of each and every good gift. God gives us wonderful gifts such as the gifts of righteousness, Remission of sins and eternal life.
God is the Father and author of lights. The sun, the moon and stars, all natural lights are considered both as spiritual, and eternal light, the light of glory made perfect. With God, who is light himself, and in him there is no darkness, there is no change or anything like it. He is changeable in his nature, perfections, purposes, promises and gifts; wherefore he being holy cannot turn to that which is evil. He is the fountain of lights. And since every good gift and perfect gift comes from him, evil cannot proceed from him. Therefore I pray that God bestow his richest blessing upon you. May He open the windows of heaven and fill your barns with plenty and may your vats overflow, with new wine.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord thank you for loading us with benefits daily in our life. Lord thank you for opening our eyes to see how good you are and realize that every good and perfect gift is only from You. May we enjoy the good gifts that you have granted to us carefully in our day to day life. May we acknowledge your goodness and kindness to us. In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
