My dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given you for today is from the book of Psalms 68:9,10 , “You O God sent a plentiful rain, whereby You confirmed Your inheritance. When it was weary. Your Congregation dwelt in it. You O God provided from Your goodness for the poor.”
My dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context, we learn that God sent a plentiful rain. The spirit of grace, and the gospel of grace, are the plentiful rain. Christ himself, the rain of blessing, shall come as showers that water the earth. Such rain as never fell before, dropped on the desert sand. Bread from heaven, and winged fowls fell all around the host of people, good gifts, were poured upon them. Rivers leaped forth from rocks. The earth shook with fear. And in reply the Lord as from his abundance shook out blessings upon it. So the original may be rendered.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, until this time they had been weary and tired even dry. But after the plentiful rain they were speedily refreshed. Their foot did not swell all those forty years. When they were exhausted, when they were weary, God did not neglect them. They were His chosen heritage, and so although he allowed them to experience, weariness and dryness, in their life, he watchfully tended them and tenderly considered their distress.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, In the same manner, the elect of God who tread down in this wilderness state, are apt, to become, tired and faint. But their ever-loving Jehovah comes in with timely succours. God cheers the faint, strengthens the weak, and refreshes the hungry. By this faithfulness, the faith of God’s people is confirmed and their hearts established. The timely supply of grace, strengthens them again.
The Bible focuses on the people of God, in the land of promise. We see the mercy of God extended to them while they were wandering in the wilderness. They were considered as flock so poor, and wretched. They had no resources of their own, for they were a poor oppressed and afflicted people.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, some of you who are reading this message seem so worried as you did not get a reply to your request. Some are confused about certain things. God knows in what state of mind you are. So God will speak to you. The Lord will send plentiful rain in your life too in order to provide for the poor. Poorness indicates those who are badly in need of something. God is going to send a rain of blessing in the area, which you lack or in which ever area you are poor. May be in your business, in your studies, in your ministry, in your career.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, All these days, you were experiencing a great dryness and draught in your life. You are going through a season of poverty and famine or a period of scarcity. In all these areas a shower of blessing is going to pour down. Not an ordinary rain but a plenteous rain. When the plentiful rain falls, every dry stump will begin to grow and green shoots will spring forth. Similarly your life will bloom and you will shoot up in life. The Bible says, a Rod shall come forth from the stem of Jesse and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. Likewise your light shall break forth like the morning and your healing shall spring forth speedily. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You Lord for considering the poor and sending a plentiful rain. For enabling even the dry stumps to shoot up green. We are blessed because You consider us O Lord. Help us to come out of this period of scarcity and poverty and grant to us a period of prosperity that we may glorify Your Name. . In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
