August 30, 2024
My dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. On this day, August 30th, I am glad to meet you through this auspicious message. May the Lord bless you. Let’s read together from the book of 1 Peter 1:25, “But the word of the Lord endures forever.”
My dear brothers and sisters, today the Lord wants to bless you with a permanent blessing. If God grants a person a blessing, He will not bring sorrow with it. The Lord blesses the righteous with His blessings. So, what you need is a permanent blessing—one that doesn’t just last for a few days and then disappear. Sometimes, a person might buy a car, but it requires repairs, leading to a financial crisis. They might end up having to sell the car, or if they can’t pay the financer, the financer might take the car away. This kind of blessing is not permanent.
Similarly, some people buy a house with great desire, but due to debt and insufficient income, the bank might seize the house. They could end up standing on the road like orphans. The peace they enjoyed in a rented home isn’t found in the house they purchased because of their debts. They couldn’t establish themselves in the house permanently. This is a problem many face. However, this verse says that the Word of the Lord endures forever. It doesn’t say the blessing will endure forever. The Lord will send His Word and establish it. He will confirm it by sending His Word. The Bible says that God first sends the Word, and after He has spoken, He fulfills it with His hands.
The Bible also says, “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My Word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:10-11) So, all the Words and promises that God has given you will be fulfilled. Hold on to the Words of the Lord which are firm and established, and the Lord will bless you.
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, we thank You. I bless all the children in the name of Jesus. Lord, You have said that Your Word will remain forever. Please fill the hearts of these children with Your Word that remains forever. Fill them wholly with Your Word, and bless them with blessings that endure, just as the ocean is filled with water. Let their hearts be filled with the knowledge of God, and let Your Word fill them with the riches, wealth, and fortune that they need. I pray with humility that the verses and promises You have given them, which are yet to be fulfilled, may come to pass in their lives.
In Jesus’ Name, we pray.
Amen.
