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 John 16:24, “Ask and you will receive that your joy may be full.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, From the above context we realize that we need to ask God and receive our blessings. When we ask God, He gives us our heart’s desire. On that day the Lord opened a way to Canaan and led the people of Israel safely. They went to the land flowing with milk and honey. They were afflicted and oppressed by the Egyptians for 430 years under the cruel taskmasters. They were asked to make bricks without hay. The Israelites were treated cruelly in Egypt. They were engaged in the construction of huge buildings in Ancient Egypt from stone or mud. They were employed to carry heavy and large stones from one corner to the other.
Pharaoh limited the personal freedom of the Israelites and charged heavy taxes. They were whipped and tortured. They were beaten and smitten by the cruel masters. So the people of Israel cried out to the Lord God of the Fathers. The Lord heard their voice and looked on their affliction, hard labor and oppression. The Lord heard their cry and sent Moses the deliverer to the land of Egypt and delivered the people by performing many signs and wonders. With a mighty hand and an outstretched arm he led the people out of Egypt to the land of Canaan, a land flowing with milk and honey.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Maybe you need to go abroad and hence you want citizenship over there. To give you citizenship in a strange land is a trivial thing for the Lord our God. If God wants to place you in a land which you desire, He will surely grant you citizenship for you to settle there. Many of you are in need of Visa, Green card, P.R and other materials for your settlement abroad. God is making every arrangement for you to obtain those documents. Some of you, who are working abroad and are thinking that your project is about to an end, and you need to get your Visa within the stipulated time, if not your stay abroad will get canceled and you might have to return to India. Do not be worried. God is preparing the premium green card for you overnight. Ask the Lord saying, “ You have promised to give me and my descendants the land on which we set our feet upon. Ask God to give you the land you desire to settle down. And He will give you what you desire. God will give you generously the land you want to possess. God promised that He would give the land of Canaan, to Abraham and His descendants. And He fulfilled His promise. He told Caleb, that He would give the land on which he sets his foot upon. So Caleb asked God to give him the mountainous land “Hebron.” So God gave him the land which he asked for and fulfilled his promise.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God will give you what you ask for. God says,” I will make you glad according to the days wherein you have been afflicted”. Ask God to perform a miracle for you. He will bring an end to your poor state of life. He will beautify the meek. The Bible says, Delight yourself in the Lord, trust also in Him and He shall give you the desires of your heart. He will deliver you from your tight corner situation and liberate you from all your hurdles. He will bring peace and harmony in your life.
Prayer
Dear Lord, we pray that you will grant us our heart’s desire. Please fulfill Your promise in our lives. Teach us to depend upon You for all our needs. Lord, help my children to get their appointed blessings in their lives. Liberate them from their problems.
In Jesus name, we pray.
Amen.
