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, John 10:9, ” I am the Door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved. And will go in and out and find pasture”.
The above context actually refers to the sheep and the shepherd. There are many false shepherds in this world and they considered Jesus as an imposter. A sheep needs man’s care and in return they lend service to man. In order to protect the sheep from the wolves and other wild animals, they had their sheep folds within the backyard of their houses for the safety of the flocks.
The sheepfold lies much exposed to thieves and robbers. The shepherd safeguards the sheep from the cruel hands of such thieves and robbers. The sheep hears the voice of his shepherd and enters the door of the sheepfold and are therefore safe. They go in and out under the watchful eyes of the shepherd and are led to green pastures where they find food and rest.
My dear Brothers and Sisters we are living in a dangerous world. Any where we turn, we are surrounded with horrible disease. Cancer, heart attack , Diabetes, Arthritis, and so on. There is a question that rises in our minds. Who will save me from this situation? There is no remedy for certain disease and even before we could diagnose the disease the person dies of illness. Such is the state of our current life.
That is why God says, I am the door. I alone am the healer. I am the one who sustains you. Anyone who enters the door will be saved, will be healed. Take Jesus along with you where ever you go. He will never fail you nor forsake you. God wants to protect us from the adversary he devil, that walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. The sheepfold represents the church. When one enters the church he will be saved. One must realize that Jesus is the door of the kingdom of God. Anyone who enters through the door will be rescued. He will be saved from sin, curse and condemnation, from wrath to come and would be kept safe in the hands of God.Then no one can pluck them out of his hand. May the Lord help you to enter the door and be safe.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly, Father, we thank You for this blessed day. We thank you for protecting us throughout the year. Thank you for preserving our lives, from sickness, from disease, and from dangers. May You help us to enter the door and be safe. Teach us to humble ourselves and be blessed. In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen
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 Psalms 66:12, “You have caused men to ride over our heads, we went through fire and through water. But you brought us out to rich fulfillment.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we see the hard times that the people of God had experienced, by the evil powers . It must be understood, that the man of sin, and son of perdition who rides upon the heads of men, exalts himself above all that is called God and has exercised dominion, over the saints in a most lawless and tyrannical manner.
The people of God had to pass through affliction, through fiery trials and over whelming providences. The Bible says, that the children of Israel, endured trials, and afflictions, even the greatest hardship, and difficulties. for the sake of Christ.
After a period of adversity and persecution the Lord will grant rest unto His people. There will be no more persecution, no more fines, imprisonment, and torturing deaths, for the sake of Christ and His gospel. All the churches will be like the well watered place like the land of Canaan. The spirit of God will be poured down like floods of water upon the dry ground. The gospel of God will drop as the rain and as showers upon the grass. It will be a time of great plenty and prosperity, in spiritual things. It will be a place abounding with all good things. At that period of time, the saints will be enriched with every gift and be rich in grace and in all good works.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, are you going through a rough patch of life? Have you lost your dear one? Or is it a financial crisis that you are going through? Are you broken hearted and depressed because of your huge debts? Are you unable to come out of it? Is there no one to help you at all? Is someone hurting you because of jealousy at your work spot, Well remember the Lord God Of Israel is at your side. He says, “As I was with Moses So I will be with you. Be strong and of good courage, I have inscribed you on the palm of My Hand, Your walls are continually before Me. You shall not be ashamed, who wait for Me”. So entrust yourself in the mighty hands of God. He will deliver you from all your struggles, whatever it might be. However huge your problem might be, He is able to save you to the utmost. For our God is bigger than your problem and it is a trivial thing for God to help you whether with many, or with those who have no power.
God bless you.
Prayer :
Our Loving Heavenly Father, We thank you for this blessed day. Thank you so much for revealing to us that after adversity the Lord will grant rest unto His people. We need that rest in order to be at peace in our family, work spot, business, and everywhere we go. We believe in you, as you have inscribed us on the palm of your hands and you encourage us to be strong and courageous. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of, Hosea 14:5, “I will be like the dew, to Israel; He shall grow like the Lilly. And lengthen the roots like Lebanon”.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, ”The above context refers to the word of God. “My Words Shall Be like the Dew to Israel. ” The essential word of God, is like the dew, either in His divine or human nature, but it is to be understood, of the blessings of grace He is to His People as Mediator, being to them wisdom, righteousness , sanctification, and redemption.
Again the line, “He shall grow like the lily.”’Refers to the people of God, and the church are compared especially for their beauty and comeliness in Christ. Usually the root of the lily lies buried in the earth for a long time. Sometimes it seems as if it was dead. But all of a sudden it springs out of the earth and grows up to a great height and becomes very flourishing. This is not owing to its toil, but because of the dew of heaven. In the same manner, God’s elect, in a state of nature are dead. But being quickened by the grace of God, spring up all of a sudden, and grow very fast. This is not because of themselves, but because of God’s divine grace and due to the influence of the Holy Spirit, they rise up in their faith and hope to the high calling of God in Christ and such people become fruitful, in grace and in good works.
Dear children of God, the Lord will make you to stand firm like the roots of Lebanon. He will plant you in the place that he has promised to take you and there He will plant you and no harm shall befall you. You shall be a blessing, in the land that the Lord takes you. You shall be successful in all that you do, provided you do everything in accordance to the will of God. You shall be like the roots of lily that shoots up to a great height, strong and sturdy. God will straighten you like that of the lily. You shall be a blessing, and fruitful. If only you obey His word, and walk according to his will, God will bless you with a good income, prosperity in your business, and bless your future. May you be fruitful and flourishing.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our Loving Heavenly Father, We thank you for this blessed day. Lord help us to discern your will in our life. May we understand that all our achievement is not because of us but it is the gift from God. We realize that we are blessed because of Your divine grace. Thank You for the dew that comes from heaven to satiate our longings. 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, the blessed word that the Lord gave me to bless you today is from the book of Mathew 25:23, “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!” When you are faithful in little things, God will make you to rule over great things. Some of you are taking your own steps to reach your goals. You need to be precautions while making a decision.
Some people fail to understand that, because of the eagerness they have for the worldly gains, they tend to go away from the presence of God. When a person faces any crucial situation in their life, they tend to shift their attention from God to money. Instead of keeping their faith on God, they keep their faith in the worldly gains.
God has called you with a purpose. Do not go after money or the pleasures of the world. Faith can move mountains. Believe in the words of the Lord. It will all be fulfilled.
Repent from all your wrong doings and ask the Lord to help you to be faithful in little things. Depend totally on God for all your needs; then God will make you to rule over many things.
God Bless You.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. I pray that You may bless Your dear children. Father, teach them to be faithful in little things so that they may rule over many. Give them the grace to face all hardships in their 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 Job 2:10, “Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept, adversity? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.” My dear Brothers and Sisters God allows the good and bad things in life, and we can trust Him to work all things.
In a single day Job received news that his oxen donkeys and camels were stolen. He heard about the death of his ten children. He lost everything. He tore his clothes and sat in ashes. His grief was inexpressible. God saw all that He had made and it was very good. When it comes to good and evil, we should not forget that there is both good and bad in the world. And one must face such challenges during the course of his life. When good things happen, we need to enjoy the goodness of God in our life. But when times are evil you need to allow God to rule your life. Soon the dark cloud will disappear and you will see a silver lining emerging brightly.
Satan brings calamity in our life. At such times you must believe that God’s will is the only good and perfect way. Job’s wife couldn’t tolerate the pressure of disaster that occurred in the family. Hence she became vexed in life and rebuked her husband saying, “Are you still maintaining, your integrity, curse God and die.” But Job told her that she was behaving like a foolish woman, and tells her, “Shall we expect good from God and not trouble? “Job seemed to be a man of better understanding. He knew very well that both good and evil comes from God and He is capable of changing, evil into good.
Dear brothers and Sisters we are not to condemn Job’s wife for behaving in such a manner because she was actually a good woman. But the terrible circumstances that she was going through and height of disaster made her to speak like a carnal person. Job refers her to an ungodly woman. Therefore he reproves her of her folly.
Job suggests that he and his wife had received many good things from the Lord. And they had very much enjoyed the blessings of God. So when God permitted disaster Job was prepared to accept it from the hands of God. The Bible says, in all this Job did not sin.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, I urge you to consider the life of Job, when troubles strike your doors, and in case you are struggling in your life remember to hold on to God like Job and believe with all of your heart that God is able to change your sorrow into joy, and He will never put you to shame. If you remain firm in Him, then just as the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning, He will bless you too. He will change your curse into a blessing.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for reminding us to walk like Job. Never to sin with our mouth even if we have to go through worse situation in our life. Guard us and preserve us to be faithful till the end. Never to shrink in our faith. Bless us Lord as you had blessed Job with a double portion of blessing. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
