January 25, 2025
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 on this day, January 25th, through this daily auspicious message. May God bless you abundantly.
Today, what is the auspicious word the Lord has for us?
Psalms 53:6 says, “Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.”
Jacob was a deceiver—he cheated his brother and his father-in-law. However, even during that time, there was one thing about Jacob that pleased the Lord. As mentioned in this verse, the Lord gave him joy. Why? Because Jacob longed for the anointing of God. His brother, Esau, had no regard or desire for the anointing. Hence, he lost the blessing of the firstborn in his life. Jacob, however, received that anointing. That is why Jacob was blessed with joy. Later, when Jacob transformed into Israel, he also received gladness. Today, many of you may feel like Jacob. You might be zealous for the Lord and have received His blessings so far, but you may also have areas in your life where you have wronged others. Perhaps you’ve cheated someone, taken what belongs to others, or made mistakes. Yet, the Lord has safeguarded you because of your zeal for Him.
However, if you continue to live as Jacob, the Lord cannot fully bless you. Today, you need to become Israel—a new person. When you transform into a new creation, you will receive the gladness and abundant blessings that the Lord promises. This means that joyous events will begin to happen in your family. Your broken life, which has been filled with bad news, will now hear good news. Good deeds, good things, and miraculous blessings will come your way. The Lord promises to repay you with blessings for all the years of suffering you endured. Do not be afraid. The Lord says, “Your days of sorrow have ended.”
Testimony:
Sister Prabha Jebastin from Thiruvannamalai
Praise be to God! I have a son, but for 10 years, I was unable to conceive again. I experienced three miscarriages, and each time, the child did not survive. In this season of sorrow, without knowing the reason, I happened to listen to a sermon by Brother Stephen on Cross TV. During the sermon, Brother Stephen said: “Daughter, someone close to you has given you an object as a keepsake. That object is in your cupboard. You do not need it—take it and throw it away, and all your barriers will be removed.” He prophesied and prayed for me. Just as Brother said, there was a family in my street who had visited some religious places and given me an object as a gift. I had kept it in my cupboard. Respecting Brother’s prophetic word, I took the object and threw it away. After that, the barriers in my life were removed. By God’s grace, I conceived again. Without any complications, I carried my baby to full term and delivered a healthy baby girl. The Lord has abundantly blessed my family and filled us with joy and gladness.
This is my testimony. When you hear such good news, the first thing you must do is obey. Just like Mary said, “Here I am, the servant of the Lord; let it be unto me according to Your word.” If you obey the Word of the Lord, He will surely do miracles for you, just as He did for Sister Prabha Jebastin. Even today, if there is anything accursed or displeasing to the Lord in your home, throw it away. The Lord will perform a miracle in your life.
Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You.
Lord, as You have said in Your Word, “Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad,” I pray for joy and gladness to overflow in the lives of Your children. I pray that all obstacles hindering their joy and gladness be broken in the name of Jesus. If there is anything in their lives or homes that displeases You, give them the wisdom and courage to remove it. Lord, liberate Your children from every barrier and settle them peacefully in their lives. Let joyous events and marriages take place in their families. Let the barren wombs be opened, and may they receive the gift of children. Bless their travels abroad, grant them homes to live in, and rebuild their broken lives. May Your miracles abound in their lives. In Jesus’ Name, I wholeheartedly bless them. Amen.
