December 28, 2024
Beloved Children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all on this day, December 28th, through this daily auspicious message. May God bless you abundantly. What is the auspicious word the Lord has for us today? Let us meditate on Proverbs 12:12 (latter part): “The root of the righteous yields fruit.”
This verse connects beautifully with Isaiah 11:1, which says:
“There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.” This passage foretells the birth of Jesus Christ. The “root of the righteous” refers to the progeny of the righteous. The children of the righteous will bear fruit because their roots are established in righteousness. The Bible says, “What you sow, you shall reap.” A righteous man who sows righteousness will see his children reap righteousness. If the root is righteous, the fruits will surely reflect that righteousness.
Perhaps in the past, your children have not borne good fruit. Maybe you’ve lamented, saying: “My children have tarnished our family name.” “Their actions have brought disgrace.” “They have made mistakes no one in our family has ever made.” If this has been your situation, take heart! God promises that the root of the righteous will yield fruit. However, the first step is for you to walk in righteousness. As you surrender yourself to God and commit to righteous living, He will bless your children, helping them to bear good fruit.
Today, as we approach the end of the year, let us engage in self-reflection and self-cleansing. Just as you expect new blessings in the new year, the Lord also expects changes in you. Submit yourself to the righteous way of life, and you will witness transformation in your family. If you or your children have been waiting for the fruit of the womb, claim this promise today. Believe in the Word of God:
“The root of the righteous will yield fruit.”
Testimony of God’s Faithfulness:
Sis. Mary from Chennai shares her testimony:
“My daughter had been married for 10 years but was sorrowful because she had not conceived. Despite consulting many doctors, there was no result. In this state, I participated in the Anabarin Paathathil Fasting Prayer. At the end of the meeting, Brother Stephen prayed for me. After that prayer, we consulted a doctor, and they confirmed that my daughter had conceived! I thank the Lord for blessing my daughter with the fruit of the womb.” See how God fulfills His promise: “The root of the righteous will yield fruit.” Even barren wombs that could not bear children will yield fruit according to God’s Word.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, we thank You for Your Word that says, “The root of the righteous will bear fruit.” We pray for those who are waiting for the fruit of the womb. Let them surrender their lives to You, turning away from old ways and living as new creations in Christ. Forgive their sins, cleanse their hearts, and bless them abundantly. Break every hindrance to marriage and fruitfulness in their families. Open the wombs that have been barren and bless them with godly progeny. May their lives bear the fruits of the Spirit, bringing glory to Your name. Let all disgrace and bad names in families be replaced with good testimonies and honor. Lord, bless them to be families of good name and fame, living in gratitude to You. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus.
Amen.
