Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of Isaiah 23:18 says, “Yet her profit and her earnings will be set apart for the Lord; they will not be stored up or hoarded. Her profits will go to those who live before the Lord, for abundant food and fine clothes”. God says that you shall be satisfied with the blessings from His hands.
According to this verse, the Lord is going to bless you with new income. When you commit to spend the little income that you receive in a faithful way, the Lord will see your faithfulness and will bless you with a better income. Matthew 25:21 says,“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!”
God sends His blessings directly from heaven. The income that you receive also comes from the Lord. The income that the Lord gives to you, must be spent wisely. When you misuse the income that the Lord blesses you with, God will be displeased. My dear children of God, use the blessings that the Lord gives to you, wisely.
The bible says, “God blessed and anointed Saul to be the King of Israel. Eventually when King Saul misused and disobeyed God’s commands and instructions, the Lord rejected him as King and God himself regretted for blessing Him”.
The book of James 1:17, says, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows”. Dear children of God, you should examine yourself today and analyse how you have spent your earnings. If you feel that you have not spent your earnings in a rightful way, repent to the Lord today and start afresh. When you do so, the Lord will be pleased with you and will bless you with a better income. The book of Psalms 90:17 says, “The Lord will bless the works of your hands”. According to this verse, the Lord will bless you.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Father, Your word says in the book of Luke 16:10, “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much”. According to this verse, Lord, may Your children be faithful in all that they do. I pray that You may give Your children the wisdom to spend their income wisely. May they stay blessed all the days of 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 Jeremiah 30:19, “Then out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry. I will multiply them and they shall not diminish. I will also glorify them and they shall not be small. Their children also shall be as before. And their congregation shall be established before Me.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we learn that those who inhabit the tents of Jacob, and dwell in the cities and palaces of Jerusalem shall make melody and sing music with great spiritual mirth. They will lift up their voice with thanksgiving. They will no more offer any ceremonial sacrifices as they performed in their own land, but they shall offer sacrifices of thanks giving. The Jews shall no longer be few in number. But God will multiply them. Though Jacob is small at present he will arise and become a great multitude. God will also glorify them before other nations.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, It’s a joy to share the testimony of a rich brother who once came up to me and cried that even though he was rich he couldn’t be at peace because his only son was a drunkard. He caused him much disgrace and put him to shame before his neighbours and friends and relatives. He used to be found fallen beside the huge dustbin and trash boxes. Immediately he would rush to pick up his drunkard son as soon as someone informed him about his son lying beside the platform or beside the trash bin. This brother used to rush up and carry home his only son. I asked that brother to go to a nearby church continuously for seven days and pray for his son. That brother did as I had instructed. He went up to a nearby church daily in the early morning and sincerely prayed for his son.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, The miracle happened on the seventh day. On returning home he found his son in tears waiting, for his arrival. He came up to his father and asked him to forgive for his wrong deeds and confessed his mistake. He cried bitterly to his father, and poured out his heart to his father. The son gave up all his bad habits and especially his drinking habit. He was no more a drunkard. The father’s joy knew no bounds. He entrusted his business entirely into the hands of his son, who proved to be a responsible person. This miracle happened because of the father’s dedicated prayer. God has turned him to a new being. Only after he came out of his bondage was he able to enjoy an increase and goodness in his life. He began to shine in his life.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God who heard the cry of this brother will also hear your cry and cause you to shine in your life. You might be distressed about your children. You might say, never did I think that my children would behave in this manner. But God will wipe all your tears. And God will turn your captivity. God will help your children to fly and flutter, after this day. So don’t worry. According to the above context God will make you and your children to sing and raise your voice, with merry and you will make melody. God will multiply you and glorify you. For you or your children will not be the same again. Because once God brings you out of bondage or captivity and exalts them or multiplies them then they will never grow small. For God says, He will have mercy on your dwelling places and your life will be established. God will release you from all your bondages and you shall be liberated. God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for answering our prayers and hearing our cry. Thank You Lord , for delivering us from all our bondages and establishing our lives. Help us to be filled the fullness of God. Give us an increase that we may never grow small. 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 2 Chronicles 26:5 , “He sought God in the days, of Zechariah who had understanding in the visions, of God and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper”.
This Zechariah was one that had understanding, of the visions of God. Zechariah the prophet, was well versed in prophesy. He was intelligent, devout, good man and had great influence with Uzziah. This brought a great change in shaping Uzziah. Zechariah the prophet guided king Uzziah to walk in the fear of God. King Uzziah was good in character. His great prosperity in his wars, his buildings and all the affairs, of his kingdom, proved his courage , valour, and capability. Though he was not very eminent or zealous, in his piety yet he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. He kept up the pure worship of the true God. Such great men are happy because they are willing to be advised by them. They are true seekers of God. Some seek God for worldly benefits but Uzziah was not so. He did not worship idols. Instead he sought Jehovah the living God and therefore prospered.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Do you seek God wholeheartedly like Uzziah. Do you have friendship with good believers, god fearing people. Are you wasting your time with worldly friends who give you momentary pleasure. People usually have the tendency to seek after money, fame, recreation, entertainment, and materialism. All of those things only lead to emptiness. However seeking God, brings more value to our live than anything else on this earth. The Bible clearly says, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be given unto you as well”. Seek God regardless of your life situation. The Bible says, King Hezekiah prayed for the people saying , May the Lord who is good, pardon every one, who sets their hearts, on seeking God. And the Lord heard Hezekiah and healed the people.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, seek God because He is looking for you. He looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. Seek God and Be blessed.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord teach us never to let go of God from our heart. Help us not to lose Him from our lives. Thank You Lord for opening our eyes to realize how important, it is to seek the Lord. May we be loyal to the Lord, all the days of our life. Thank You Lord for your mercy and grace that enables us to prosper in our lives. Make us successful in our lives since we trust in 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 33:6 , “ Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times. And the strength of Salvation. The Fear of The Lord is His Treasure.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God wants to give all those who fear God, three treasures, namely Salvation, wisdom and knowledge. Those who wait for God by faith shall, find Him gracious to them. But if God leaves us to ourselves any morning then we are undone. We must commit ourselves to Him every morning, and go forth in His strength to do the work appointed to us for the day.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, when God arises His enemies are scattered. True wisdom and knowledge lead to strengthen our salvation which renders us steadfast in the ways of God. And true piety is the only treasure, that cannot be plundered from us. May all those who fear the Lord, acknowledge, that God can do everything you ask for, according to His will.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, The Word stability denotes firmness, steadiness, and constancy that prevailed during the time of Hezekiah the king of Judah. Strength of salvation –refers to the Saving Strength or Mighty Salvation. During his reign he undertook several reforms. He removed the high places and broke the sacred pillars. He cut down the wooden images, and broke in pieces the bronze serpents that Moses had made. Thus he did what was right in the sight of God. Therefore God expanded his life span to 15 years. In those days, King Hezekiah was sick and near death. God sent word through Isaiah and so he said, to Hezekiah, “ Set your house in order for you shall die, and not live.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Then Hezekiah prayed to the Lord reminding Him of all His good deeds. So God heard his prayer and added 15 years. Hezekiah trusted in the Lord God of Israel, so after him there was none like him among all the kings of Judah. For King Hezekiah held fast to the Lord. He did not depart from following Him, but kept His commandments. Therefore the Lord was with him. He prospered wherever he went.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, the Lord will prosper you too if you keep His commandments. You will also be blessed with all the three treasures of God namely, Salvation, Wisdom, and Knowledge. God wants you to experience the same first love, you had when you were saved in Christ. God wants to bring you back to His fold, and wipe away all your tears because of your backsliding. He wants to re establish complete Salvation in your life. God is delighted to hear that His children walk in the Truth. The Bible says, In an accepted time I have heard you. And in the day of Salvation I have helped you. Now is the time of God’s favour. Now is the day of Salvation. This is the day to be saved.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You Lord, for forgiving our sins, and from backsliding. Help us to turn again to God. Teach us to acknowledge God, as our Saviour and Lord of our life. May we like Hezekiah trust in the Living God, and hold fast to His word. Help us not to depart from following God. Bless us with the three treasures, Salvation, Wisdom, and Knowledge.
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 3 John 1:2 “Beloved I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.”
My dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we understand that it is the prayer of St John for the Elder, Gaius and it includes three particulars, namely health of body, health of soul, and prosperity in secular affairs. These three things are necessary to the comfort of life. God expects that we prosper or succeed in all temporal affairs. In the business, in our career, in our marital relationship, whatever it may be, success of this sort depends upon the blessing of God, which makes one rich, it is to be wished and prayed for all such blessings.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God wants to bless us with good health that is of body. One has to be physically fit. For above all things, above all outward mercies, the most desirable is our good health, for without this the richest of dainties, the largest possessions, or the best of friends mean nothing to us or will be of no greater significance. Hence God prefers that we live with a healthy body free from sickness or diseases.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, To enjoy all the above goodness of God in the land of the living, One has to seek God with all of his mind soul, and spirit. For the soul is diseased with sin, and needs to be in good health. When all the sins and iniquities of a person is forgiven then he is said, to prosper. One must have a spiritual thirst for the gospel, the sincere milk of the word. He should feed upon it, and be nourished by it. He grows thereby and when it is in the lively exercise of faith, hope, and love, and when spiritual knowledge is increased or it grows in grace, and in the knowledge of Christ Jesus, and when the inward man is renewed day by day, with fresh strength, and when it enjoys communion with God, it becomes fruitful in every good work.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, just as St John prayed for the Elder Gaius, to be blessed with good health, sound spiritual life, I too sincerely desire that God bless everyone who reads this message, with good health, sound spiritual life and secular prosperity. May God bless you to draw closer to Him, and thus inherit, the blessings of God, for the blessings of the Lord makes one rich and does not cause sorrow. The Lord will not allow the soul of the righteous to famish. The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you. Worship the Lord your God, and His blessing will be upon you and your descendants.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. We thank You Lord, for Your good thought towards us. You want us to be blessed physically, spiritually, and with all secular blessing. Lord help us to worship you and obtain all the blessings from you. Teach us to pray for other fellowmen to receive all the blessings you have prepared for them.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
