February 8, 2025
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 all on this day, February 8th, through this daily auspicious message. May God bless you.
Today’s Auspicious Word:
Let us read from Isaiah 25:4, “For You have been a strength to the poor, A strength to the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, A shade from the heat; For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.”
Many of you may be facing opposition like a storm raging against a wall. You may not have done anything wrong to them; you are simply going about your work, ministry, or business. Yet, out of jealousy, people rise against you. You might wonder, “Why are they angry with me? I have no connection with them. I don’t even know them, yet they oppose me!”
Jealousy and irritation cause some people to rage against others. In the workplace, if someone is envious of your success, they may act against you. In business, if someone struggles while you prosper, they may become angry. Even in ministry, some continuously find fault in others. However, the Bible teaches that those who focus on finding fault will not grow, while those who endure will flourish.
The Word of God assures us in 2 Thessalonians 1:6-7,
“Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, and to give you who are troubled rest.”
This means that those who unjustly rage against you will face consequences, while God Himself will be your refuge and strength. When storms arise against you, God will shelter you. When enemies bring trouble, God will protect you. He is your shade from the heat and your stronghold in distress. God knew even back then that His faithful children—whether in work, business, or ministry—would face opposition. That is why He promises to be our refuge, shade, and strength. He says, “I am with you; do not be afraid!”
Testimony – Brother Elson from Kerala
My name is Elson, and my brother’s son, Manoj Kumar, was working in a company. Out of jealousy, one of his subordinates falsely accused him and filed a complaint with the police. As a result, the police arrested my brother’s son. In great distress, I immediately contacted God’s Love Ministries and requested prayers. The prayer warriors prayed fervently, and God heard our cry. When the police investigated the case, they found that Manoj Kumar was innocent. By God’s grace, he was released without any harm. See how jealousy led to false accusations, but God defended and delivered him. Just as He did for Manoj Kumar, God will fight for you. Be patient and trust in Him—He will do great things in your life.
Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You. In Jesus’ name, I bless and pray for my children. According to Your Word, turn the raging storms in their lives into peace. Meet those who oppose them, transform their hearts, and lead them to repentance. Fill my children with a generous heart and protect them from harm. Lord, arise as their refuge and shade. May no weapon formed against them prosper. Those who come against them in one way, let them flee in seven ways. Be their protection, their support, and their comfort. Let every jealous scheme against them fail, and may You do wonders in their lives. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
