Beloved children of God in Christ,
I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Bible says in John 12:13, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! The King of Israel!”
Today, as the world celebrates Palm Sunday, we remember a powerful moment in history. The people of Israel, who had seen Jesus going around doing good, healing the sick, and teaching with authority, desired that He would remain their King forever. In great reverence, they made Him sit on a colt, laid garments and palm branches on the road, and joyfully led Him in a royal procession to the temple of Jerusalem. They shouted, “Hosanna! Son of David!” and praised Him as their King. This significant event is what we now commemorate as Palm Sunday.
This moment marks the beginning of the final and most meaningful days of the Lenten season — Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. As we reflect on Palm Sunday, one truth must remain in our hearts: “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! The King of Israel!” Jesus came in the name of the Lord — not just as a teacher or miracle worker — but as the Redeemer and King. The people saw Him as the One who understood their pain, who performed miracles, who taught them righteousness, and who brought hope. And so, they accepted Him as their King.
Today, we too must make the same decision — to accept Jesus as our King. Let us declare from our hearts, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord — the King of Israel — who lives in me is blessed!” Keep Him at the center of your heart. Give Him thanks. The Lord will lift you up. He will make you the head and not the tail, place you above and not beneath, and elevate you to walk in His divine favor.
The people during that time believed that if Jesus was to continue doing good in their lives, He had to be their King. The same is true for us today. If we want to see miracles, healing, and breakthroughs, we must enthrone Him as King in our hearts. When He comes, sickness disappears. When He comes, the power of witchcraft is destroyed. When He comes, every dark plan of the enemy is cancelled, and God’s glorious purpose is fulfilled in your life. The Lord will do amazing things for you and bless you mightily.
Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! The King of Israel!” We praise, thank, and glorify You. Children, if you have already welcomed Jesus as the ruler of your heart, let Him continue to dwell there and lead you. Elevate us on high, making us the head and not the tail, above and not below, with the inheritance of Jacob. Meet all our needs and do good for us. Today, in our homes, bring about change—transform our debts, break our bondages, heal our sicknesses, and open our wombs. May good events abound and may You honor Your children. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
