My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Isaiah 51:22, “See I have taken out of your hand, The cup of trembling ,the dregs of the cup of My fury; You shall no longer drink it. “But I will put into the hand of those who afflict you.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters from the above context we understand that, God can change the very situation of your life. He will change the evil situation for your goodness. He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us. For He is a wonder working God. He does great things, and unsearchable, Marvellous things, wonders beyond numbers. God changed the evil that came upon Job, for his goodness. God changed his sorrow into joy. The Lord restored Job’s losses and gave him twice as much as he had before. For He is a God who saves the needy from the sword, in their mouth. He saves them from the clutches of the powerful.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I wish to share an incident that took place in the life of a sister, who came to me for prayer. I think she did not have money at that time so she took some gold and thrust it into my hands. Even before I could realize, she was out of sight. Some months later, I met her again in another meeting. She said to me that she was falsely accused and she was about to be arrested. She was quite scared. But one thing that she said almost touched my heart. She was a teacher, so she said, “My students will be in search of me.” She was a responsible and dedicated teacher but unfortunately she was accused. I prayed sincerely for her. God brought about a great change in her life. God said , as prophesy, “’There will be an elevation and through you My name shall be glorified.”’ After some days, I came to know that the very person who cunningly trapped her into this difficult situation was himself arrested and sentenced to jail. Halleluiah!
My Dear brothers and Sisters, The Bible says, “See I have taken out of your hand, The cup of trembling, the dregs of the cup of My fury; You shall no longer drink it. “But I will put into the hand of those who afflict you.” According to this verse, God punished the person who afflicted her. Isn’t this amazing? He will turn the table upside down for you. God will even change the evil for your goodness. From the beginning of time, it has been said that God is good. He is good to us in so many ways. He listens to our thoughts and prayers. He keeps us from harm and always does good things to all. He does not know to do evil. God is going to fill your house with all good things. He will open the treasures of heaven, and bless you. God prepared the tasty wine in order to serve you and nurture you for His purpose. Hence put your trust in the Lord, for the Lord upholds all those who fall, and raises up all those who are bowed down. Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for changing even the evil for our goodness. Thank you for filling our houses with good things. Thank you for telling us that you will protect us from all our foes. We will not be the victim but will be the victor always. Teach us to realize that You are a God, who opens a way where there is no way. Be a strong support to us O lord. Never forsake us or forget us.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
