Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you this March 10th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word for us today? Let us read from Book of Psalms 128:5: “The Lord bless you out of Zion.”
The Bible says that the sky is His throne and the earth is His footstool. The place where His feet rest is where you and I are living. That is why the Lord says, “I will bless you out of Zion.” This means that when God blesses you from heaven, you will receive heavenly blessings.
What is the difference between heavenly blessings and earthly blessings? When a blessing comes from heaven, there will be no sorrow added to it. It will bring happiness, goodness, and lasting peace. It will not bring agony or curses.
However, sometimes people try to obtain blessings through wrong ways—through incorrect methods, dishonest work, or improper business practices. When blessings are obtained in such ways, sorrow, poverty, and even curses may follow them.
Sometimes it may appear that wealth comes quickly, but it also disappears quickly. It may seem as though it comes through one door but goes out through another. In some families, the parents may accumulate wealth in wrong ways, but when the next generation comes, those blessings disappear quickly because they were not true blessings from God.
Therefore, we must surrender ourselves to God and pray, “Lord, bless me from Zion.”
We should say, “Lord, the blessings You give are enough. The income You give is enough. I only want what You give me, because the blessings that come from You will not bring sorrow.”
The promotion You give, the increment You give, the riches You give—those are enough for us.
Sometimes we hear people say, “My monthly salary is three lakhs, but by the 10th of the month there is not even thirty rupees left in my account.” Others say, “My salary is two lakhs, but by the 20th everything is gone, and from the 21st I have to start borrowing.”
Why does this happen? Because of unnecessary expenses, unexpected losses, debts with interest, medical expenses, or betrayal by others. But when the Lord blesses you from Zion, He will remove all such problems.
The Lord will stop unnecessary expenses, cancel losses, and break every financial blockage. He will bless you from Zion and help you save money.
When God blesses you from Zion, many blessings will come—your own house, vehicles, a peaceful home, a good life partner, and the blessing of children. Everything will come as a blessing from heaven.
The Word of God declares this promise, and today we are going to receive it.
Testimony from someone who received such a blessing.
A mother shared this testimony: “My son faced many troubles at his workplace because of certain higher officials. Due to this, he lost his peace and was constantly worried about what would happen each day. Because of this stress, he even fell into depression.
At that time, I contacted the God’s Love Ministries 24-hour telephone prayer tower and requested prayer for my son. The prayer warrior prayed earnestly with the promise from Book of Jeremiah 1:19.
They spoke words of hope and encouragement to us. Our family also held on to that verse and continued to pray together.
The Lord heard our prayers, brought an end to all the problems, and turned those difficult situations into great victories.”
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. The Lord who performed a miracle for Gomathai will also perform miracles for all those today.
According to this Auspicious word, “The Lord bless you out of Zion.” I place this word upon the heads of all those watching this program and bless them wholeheartedly.
Lord, whatever blessings Your children are expecting as they kneel in Your presence or stand with folded hands before You—thank You for granting them today.
Let delayed marriages take place. Let closed wombs be opened. Let those who are struggling to build or buy their own house receive that blessing. Let miracles happen in their studies and careers.
Some say, “I have worked so hard, yet I am not progressing or able to purchase my own house.” Lord, bless the works of their hands. Increase their income and open good ways for their livelihood. Honour them and lift them up.
Finally, look upon those children who are celebrating their birthday or wedding anniversary today. May this word be fulfilled in their lives.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you through this Auspicious word on this March 9th. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word for us today? Let us read from Book of Isaiah 60:22: “A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation.”
What does this mean? Some people may think this verse is meant only for young children in the home. But that is not the meaning. “Little one” refers to those who are humiliated, looked down upon, and considered inferior by others. People may say, “He is just a small boy; what does he know?” or treat someone as insignificant.
If you are among those who have been treated that way, the Lord says, “I will multiply you a thousandfold.” Those who once humiliated you and considered you insignificant will see the Lord lift you up and honour you greatly.
We see a similar example in the life of Hannah. One day Hannah came into the presence of God and prayed, “Lord, look upon my humiliation. I do not even have one child, and people despise me and treat me with contempt.”
She cried out to the Lord asking for one child. But according to God’s grace, the Lord not only answered her prayer but blessed her with five children and honoured her life.
Today, if someone is humiliating you because you do not have a child, remember this promise: “A little one shall become a thousand.” Just as God blessed Hannah beyond her request, the Lord will also bless you abundantly and remove your shame.
The verse also says, “A small one a strong nation.” This means that God will not only multiply you but will establish your life strongly. A “strong nation” means your life, generation, and descendants will be firmly established and blessed.
The Lord will give such honour that your name will become great. Your family and future generations will be blessed and settled strongly in life.
Testimony
A person shared this testimony: “I wrote many exams for a government job and tried very hard, but every attempt ended in failure. I was very sorrowful and wondered whether I would ever get a job.
At that time, Brother came to deliver a sermon and pray at a meeting in Madurai. I also attended that meeting. The message he preached felt as though it was meant just for me. During the individual prayer, Brother said that the Lord had prepared a government job for me and that the order had already been sealed. He prophesied these words and prayed.
After that prayer, within a few days, I received the order for a government job. Though thousands had applied for the position, by the grace of God and through the prophetic prayer and blessings of Brother Stephen, I received the job. I share this testimony with joy to glorify the name of God.”
The Lord who performed this miracle will surely do a miracle for you as well.
Payer
Loving Lord, we thank You. Those who are considered inferior and humiliated by others—make them a thousand and a strong nation according to Your word.
Lift them up and honour them. Before the very people who looked down on them, make their name great and help them live with their heads held high.
Even today, look upon the children who are celebrating their birthday or wedding anniversary. May this word be fulfilled in their lives.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you through this Auspicious word on this March 8th. May God bless you.
As we all know, today the world is celebrating International Women’s Day. Therefore, in the name of Jesus, I greet and bless all the sisters in your homes. It may be your sister, mother, younger sister, or mother-in-law. Whoever it may be, on this Women’s Day I greet and bless them.
The Bible teaches us to give them the respect they deserve. When you honour the women in your home—your sisters, mother, or mother-in-law—the Lord will bless you even more.
Let us look at today’s Mangala Vaarthai from Song of Solomon 4:12: “A garden enclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.”
Today the Lord looks at all the sisters and says, “You are an enclosed garden.” This means that no evil or work of the devil will destroy you. Just as a gardener encloses a garden with a fence so that insects or animals cannot enter and destroy it, in the same way the Lord is placing a protective fence around you.
Today the Lord is protecting you and your daughters like an enclosed garden. He is placing a fence around your body and also around your workplaces and business places.
Secondly, it says “a spring shut up.” This means there is a fence around your soul, so that the devil cannot destroy your soul or cause any spiritual loss. It represents a spiritual protection that God places around you.
Thirdly, “a fountain sealed” refers to your spirit. This means that no one can destroy your spirit, because the Lord protects it by surrounding it with the Holy Spirit. In this way, the Lord protects your body, soul, and spirit.
Not only that, the Lord will also protect your possessions and worldly blessings. He will help you succeed and become achievers in life.
My beloved children of God, in earlier times women were not given much respect. Many had to remain in the kitchen and were not allowed to study in schools or colleges. But now things have changed. By the grace of God, women are given opportunities and positions equal to men.
There was a time when women were treated almost like servants in their own homes. When the men of the house returned home, women had to bring water for them or even wash their feet. Sometimes when the father sat down, the daughter or wife had to remain standing. Such customs existed in those days.
But today many of these things have changed. The Lord has given women dignity and rights. At the same time, dear sisters, do not misuse these rights, but use them wisely and beautifully. Then the Lord will make you achievers.
Today we see women holding great positions. Even our nation’s President is a woman. In the same way, you too should rise to great positions and accomplish many achievements. As a servant of God, I bless the sisters in your homes. The Lord will surely do great things.
Testimony
Praise be to God. A sister shared that during a time of deep struggle she had pawned her thali chain and went to Dubai on a tourist visa to search for a nursing job. Her visa was going to expire in two months.
Before the visa expired, she sent an email asking for prayer that she might receive a nursing job. After prayer, a Mangala Vaarthai was sent to her saying: “Even before you prayed, the command has been sent from heaven. Your request has been heard, and a job is waiting for you.”
Exactly as spoken, before her visa expired she received a nursing job with a higher salary than she expected. The Lord blessed her wonderfully.
Just as the Lord performed a miracle for His beloved daughter Subha, this Women’s Day the Lord will also do a miracle for you.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. In the name of Jesus I bless these children. Lord, look upon every woman and sister and every family. Make them like an enclosed garden, a spring shut up, and a fountain sealed. Protect and safeguard them. Lord, give them a bright future. Restore the faith that has become weak within them. Help them to achieve many great things in their lives.
Lord, some sisters are heartbroken and say, “I cannot do anything.” Look upon them and stretch out Your helping hand. Lift them up and glorify them.
At the right time, Lord, lift up those who humble themselves under Your mighty hand.
Touch each one of them. Turn their weaknesses into strengths. Remove every confusion from their minds and give them clarity.
Thank You, Lord, for blessing them.
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you through this Auspicious word on this 7th of March. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word for us today? Let us read 1 John 5:4: “This is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”
In this world, winning a race alone is not victory. Passing an exam alone is not victory. Even succeeding in life alone is not the complete victory. Beyond all these things, overcoming the world is the true victory.
The world includes not only the world itself but also everything in it—the flesh and the devil. If a person overcomes the world, the flesh, and Satan, he will surely be counted among the true victors.
If anyone wants to overcome this world, he must overcome his flesh. He must control his five senses. He must control his lusts and desires. Only such faith can overcome the world. When a person lives like this, the Lord prepares a place for him in heaven and will make him sit in His glorious kingdom.
Today the Lord says, our faith is the victory that overcomes the world. This means that first there must be faith within you that you can overcome the world, the flesh, and Satan.
You must believe that in every situation the Lord will lead you in victory. In your studies, He will lead you in victory. In your ministry, He will lead you in victory. In your spiritual life, you will live victoriously by the grace of God. Do not speak negatively. Before writing an exam, do not say, “I will not pass.” Before going to a race, do not say, “I will not win.” Before going to an interview, do not say, “I will not get the job.” Do not speak negative words. Instead, develop faith and positive confidence today. That is true faith. Throw away every negative thought in the name of Jesus.
Let faith fill your whole being—your mind, body, nerves, and spirit. When faith lives within you, you will surely win. If you do not have faith and confidence, you may lose. Therefore, you must rise to the top in your field. To live victoriously and stand in the highest place, increase your level of faith today. Have unshakable hope in the Lord, and He will do great things.
Testimony
A sister participated in the APO fasting meeting and prayed for a shop to start a business. During the individual prayer, she asked Brother Stephen to pray for her. While praying, he said, “You will expand to the left and to the right.” He gave this Mangala Vaarthai and blessed her.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. In Jesus’ name I bless these children. You have said, “This is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”
Lord, those who have lost hope and those who are discouraged—strengthen them today. Help them to take up the shield of faith and receive victory.
Those who speak negatively, saying, “I cannot do anything… I will not succeed… I am not qualified… I do not have the ability”—Lord, reveal to them the abilities and gifts You have placed within them. Strengthen their faith so that they may accomplish great things.
I bless them wholeheartedly. Thank You, Lord, for doing miracles.
Finally, look upon the children who are celebrating their birthday and wedding day today. According to this Auspicious word, may this whole year be a year of victory for them.
Amen.
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all this March 6th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word the Lord has for us today? Let us read Job 8:7 “Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would increase abundantly.”
Children of God, this verse tells us that even if your beginning is small, your end will be abundant. If you expect everything to be abundant right from the beginning, it becomes difficult. Many people want everything to happen instantly.
For example, if a child has to be born, first there must be a marriage. After that, the child needs about ten months to grow in the mother’s womb. Even if you take all efforts, the baby will not come into your hands the next day. It takes time. The child must grow and be nurtured in the womb, and only then will it be born.
But today, in this instant world, many expect instant miracles. As soon as they begin a job, they want a salary of one lakh or two lakhs. But it does not happen that way. The Lord says, do not despise the day of small beginnings. Only then will abundant growth come.
This verse teaches us that if the beginning is small and difficult, the end will be abundant. I often say that those who do not experience struggles in the beginning may not experience true abundance later. Their blessings may reach a certain level and then stop. But those who begin with struggles and are sometimes treated as insignificant will build a strong foundation. When the right time comes, they will rise firmly and reach greater heights. They will sit in positions higher than those who had a good beginning. Abundance means going beyond everything else.
Therefore, do not lose heart if your beginning is small. Only when the beginning is small will the end become glorious. During small beginnings, we learn many valuable lessons. Some people begin well and immediately gain luxury and success. But what God has planned for us will surely come at the right time.
So humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God. Do not be jealous of others and rush into things that may lead to loss. As a servant of God, I give you this counsel. Surely, those of you who have a small beginning will experience an abundant ending.
Testimony
My son got married and my daughter-in-law conceived, but in the fifth month she had a miscarriage. After that, I continuously participated in the APO fasting meeting and prayed. During the individual prayer time, I also prayed with Brother Stephen. By the grace of God and through those prayers, my daughter-in-law conceived again and delivered a beautiful baby girl. The Lord heard the prayers and has now blessed my son and daughter-in-law with two children. My beloved children of God, the Lord will do the same for you.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. In Jesus’ name, I bless Your children. Lord, in the APO meeting that will happen tomorrow, bring thousands of people. Fulfil the heart’s desire of each and every person. Tomorrow, let each one make time and participate in the APO meeting.
Even now, kindly look upon the children who are celebrating their birthday and wedding anniversary today. May this word be fulfilled in their lives.
Amen.
