Deferred Hope - Bro. T. Stephen

Beloved Children of God in Christ, Greetings to you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ! I am delighted to connect with you today, December 15th, through this Daily Auspicious Message. May the Lord’s abundant blessings be with you!

Today, let us meditate on the word God has given us: Proverbs 13:12
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.”

For many years, Hannah experienced this very verse in her life. She waited and longed for a child, and the prolonged delay left her heart sick and filled with agony. Yet, one day, she came to God’s temple, knelt at His feet, and poured out her heart. God heard her cries, and soon after, she conceived a child.

Beloved, what is the burden of your heart today? What is the matter you have been waiting on God for? Perhaps it is a government job, an opportunity to go abroad, a blessed family life, a promotion, a transfer order, a favorable result in a legal case, the fruit of the womb, or a fresh anointing. Whatever it may be, take a moment today after reading this message to kneel in God’s presence. Pour out your desires and burdens before Him, for He is a God who hears and answers prayers. Just as He performed a miracle for Hannah, He will surely do it for you.

A Testimony of Faith
Let us read this faith-filled testimony from Sis. Nimmi Rachel:
“My husband was working in Arakkonam, in a village named Jelorepettai, and for the past six years, he had been trying to get a transfer to Dharmapuri. However, the local political leaders in Arakkonam declined the request and delayed signing the necessary papers. In this state, I sent a prayer request via email to Bro. Stephen. He earnestly prayed and replied that God would grant us favor with the officials and fulfill our heart’s desire.

By the grace of God, after receiving the prayer, the transfer that had been delayed for six years was granted immediately! What we had hoped for and waited on for so long became a reality in an instant. Truly, God turned our deferred hope into a tree of life!” Beloved, today, God can do the same for you in the matter you have been waiting for. Trust Him and lay your burdens at His feet.

Prayer:
Dear Lord, We thank You for Your faithfulness and love. Today, we bring before You the burdens and desires of Your children who have been waiting with agonized hearts. Just as You did a miracle for Hannah and for Sis. Nimmi Rachel’s family, we ask You to do a miracle for them as well. Whatever they have been waiting for—whether it is a job, a promotion, a transfer, a family blessing, or an anointing—let it be granted in Your perfect time. Fill their hearts with joy and turn their deferred hopes into fulfilled promises. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
