Dearly Beloved in Christ! I greet and bless you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
On this Christmas Day, on behalf of God’s Love Ministries, and on behalf of my family, I wish you all a very Happy Christmas. I consider it a great privilege to share God’s word with you on this day. Today’s word is taken from Luke 1: 28, “And having come into the house, the angel said to Mary, “Rejoice highly favoured one the Lord is with You. Blessed are you among women.”
From the above verse we see that God proclaimed a good word from heaven to Mary through the Angel Gabriel and blessed her.
Well, what did the Angel tell Mary? Firstly the Angel said, you have found favour from God. Favour means grace. Grace is a good gift from God to His children.
Why is grace important in our life? The grace of God is very important because the word of God says, “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed. Because His compassions fail not.” Again the Psalmist says, “When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy”. Yes it is God’s grace that protects us. If not for Him , we would have been lost in our lives.
Today as the Angel entered into Mary’s house and shared the good word , God has entered your house to give you a good word and bless you. Hence do not be worried thinking I have no one to support me. Today God’s grace will help you to rise to greater heights in your life.
Secondly the Angel said, “The Lord is with you.” Mary received grace because the Lord was with her. When we see the life of King David, David increased day by day because the Lord was with him. In the same way the Lord will be with you and will bless you as He blessed David. God has promised to be with you, always till the end of this age. So be assured that God will always be with you and you will be never alone.
If God remains with you then you need not fear any harm. He will keep you from all dangers. He will be a shield to you. God said to Abraham , “I am your great shield.’’ If God becomes your shield then He will keep you from all hurdles in life.
Thirdly He says, to Mary, “You are blessed among women.”God says the same words to you and is blessing you, today. People might have said, you are a useless person and you are cursed . People would have disgraced you in such a way. But today during this festive season, God is directly looking at you and saying, “ You are blessed among women and you are blessed among men.”God says, “ I will bless the work of your hands. I will bless your ministry and your business. I will bless your education. ‘’
Many of you in the past were caught up in debts. You are running your life by borrowing money from others. So you are drowning in debts. Some are thinking, “Will I live a life without debts at least in the future.” Will the Lord who is born in this world, bring a change in my life? Today take hold of God who can bless you. The Bible says, one who holds on to God will be kept in perfect peace. God will do great things for you. God bless you.
Prayer: Lord we thank you. During this festive season, just as you sent an angel to tell Mary that she is blessed among all the women, You are passing the same blessing to all those who are reading this message. As the angel entered into the house of Mary , Lord enter into the house of your children and bless them. Let all your promises be yes and amen in their lives. May God lead them in their business in their work spot, in their family life and let all blessings be placed on their heads. Lord be present with my children in all their undertakings. Redeem them from all unnecessary problems and grant them a peaceful life. Since you have blessed them in this season, let them see success in their lives.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
