Beloved Children of God in Christ, Greetings and blessings to you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! The Bible says in 2 Chronicles 19:11, “Behave courageously, and the Lord will be with the good.”
Do not be afraid—step forward boldly and courageously in everything you do. Fear is a sign of unbelief. If you have taken a step forward and anxiety or nervousness begins to creep in, remember: such feelings often lead to failure. But when you act with faith and prayer, it becomes like hitting a sixer or a four in cricket—a confident strike full of belief!
The Lord stands with those who are good and courageous. So take that step of faith and move forward, especially in the matters concerning your work, ministry, and life. Just as people say in cricket, “Hit boldly, somehow you must score,” let us apply the same with spiritual fervor. Work diligently, be good, and God will surely support and bless you.
Just like Isaac who sowed and reaped a hundredfold harvest, you too will see such blessings in your workplace, ministry, and business. If you live like Job—blameless and upright—God will make you great. Job was known as the greatest man among all the people of the East. Likewise, God will lift you up in the very place where you once felt shame and held your head low. He will honor you and make your name great!
Even if you are burdened with commitments today, submit yourself to a life of truth and righteousness. The Lord will surely meet all your needs.
Testimony:
Sister Shalini, “I completed my engineering studies but couldn’t find a job suitable to my qualifications. For two years, I worked as a teacher. Later, I went to Dubai and got a position as an Assistant Planning Engineer, but I was assigned a sales job instead. My boss often criticized me and I felt broken. I resigned and sent a prayer request to Brother Stephen through email. Brother prayed and replied back. Soon after, the HR department called and offered me the actual Assistant Planning Engineer position along with a salary hike! The same boss who once shamed me witnessed my promotion. The Lord truly made my name great in front of those who put me down. I praise God for His wonderful work!”
Prayer:
Loving Lord, We thank You for Your goodness. I pray that You would fill Your children with a spirit of courage and enthusiasm. Remove all unbelief and strengthen their faith to do their work with passion and integrity. Let them stand firm, knowing that You are their support. May they live upright lives, and may supernatural miracles follow them. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
