Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you on this January 3rd through today’s Auspicious Message. May God bless you abundantly! In this list of blessings, I too am included, as today is my birthday. I humbly ask you all to remember me in your prayers. By the grace of God, I have been mercifully enabled to complete 61 years and step into my 62nd year. With a heart full of gratitude, I offer a million praises and thanks to the Lord for His goodness and mercy over the past 61 years.
Now, let us meditate on today’s auspicious word: Isaiah 60:3 The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising. In the past, perhaps you experienced rejection—no one wanted to associate with you, visit you, or even speak to you. You may have lived in a state of shame and isolation. But today, God declares that nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
This transformation occurs when God, the giver of true light and brightness, dwells within you. When His light shines in you, people will no longer see you but the God within you. Those who once rejected you will come seeking you. They will invite you into their homes, honor your presence, and eagerly await your arrival. Where there was once rejection, God will lift you up. As He blessed Isaac, granting him a hundredfold harvest and making him great, so He will do for you. Kings will seek you, and those who once despised you will acknowledge you as a person of God. You will witness God’s hand restoring your honor and bringing extraordinary blessings into your life.
Testimony
Let us now hear a testimony: Bro. Karthick, Gopichettipalayam,
“We live as a joint family. Due to a small misunderstanding, my wife decided we should live separately. This led to 1.5 years of separation, and eventually, the situation escalated to talk of divorce. My life was filled with darkness during that time. One day, I attended a meeting at the CSI Church in Gopichettipalayam, where Brother Stephen shared God’s Word and prayed individually for attendees. During prayer, Brother Stephen prophetically said, ‘Your wife will return, and you will live together peacefully.’ By God’s grace, in just a few days, my wife came back home. The darkness in our lives was replaced by God’s brightness. We reunited as a family, and peace was restored. The Word of God fulfilled its promise in our lives!”
Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You. You have promised, “Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.” Let Your light and brightness fill Your children. In their businesses, may they see a hundredfold harvest. In their careers, may they experience breakthroughs and divine favor. In their ministries, may there be a hundredfold harvest of souls. Let those who despised and shamed them come to seek their blessings. May financial setbacks be removed, and may they become lenders, not borrowers. Let peace prevail even among their enemies. Thank You for lifting them up and glorifying Your name through their lives. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
