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 all today, December 11th, through this daily Auspicious Word program. May God bless you abundantly.
What is the auspicious word God has given us today?
Psalm 126:4 “Bring back our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the South.” In the fields, villagers know how to irrigate their land by redirecting streams. They block one side to divert the water to where it is needed, filling one area before turning it smoothly to another field. Those familiar with village life will understand this method. In the same way, God is saying today that He will turn your bondages and lead you into flourishing springs whose waters never fail. He will guide you to green pastures and still waters.
Bondages such as unredeemable debts, witchcraft, or powers of sorcery that hinder your progress, or other burdens like sin, sickness, scarcity, shame, and even imprisonment—God will deliver you from them all. Just as streams are redirected to bring life to the fields, He will turn your captivity into blessings and make you flourish in His still waters. If you are burdened by debt, submit it to the Lord. Trust Him, and He will make you prosper. This Christmas season, if you are heartbroken because of your children’s bondages or sins, submit these concerns to God. You will surely find deliverance.
Testimony
Today, we will conclude with a powerful testimony.
Brother Kanagaraj from Coimbatore “I have been married for 23 years. Before and after my marriage, I struggled with an addiction to alcohol and smoking for a total of 39 years. One day, I came across Bro. Stephen’s message on YouTube. As I listened, faith began to arise in me, and I felt a deep conviction to leave my sinful habits. Every word spoken by Bro. Stephen touched my heart, and I began to cry without realizing it. From that day onward, I lost all desire for alcohol and smoking.
Soon after, I lost my job unexpectedly. However, I attended the Erode meeting in October and prayed with Bro. Stephen during the individual prayer session. He prophetically declared that I would regain my job, and, to my amazement, the very same workplace recalled me. I rejoined my job, and now my family is happy and at peace. From 39 years of captivity to sin, alcohol, and smoking, God’s Word has transformed me, and my life is now settled. The greatest blessing of all is salvation and repentance. This Christmas season, let us not be destroyers of fruit but bearers of fruit.”
Prayer
Dear Lord, we thank You.
In the name of Jesus, I bless my dear children. Lord, turn back their captivity as the streams in the South. Just as streams are redirected to bring life to fields, turn their bondages of sin, curses, sickness, debt, and every other captivity into blessings. Lead them into flourishing springs and lush green pastures. Your Word says, “He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.” Let this Word be fulfilled in their lives. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
