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 on this day, January 18th, through this daily auspicious message. May God bless you!
What is the auspicious Word that God has for us today? Let us read it together.
Isaiah 45:2 says, “I will go before you and make the crooked places straight.”
What a beautiful verse, isn’t it? The Lord promises to go before us. Now, who is this Lord who goes before us? He is the Almighty God who created the universe and holds it in His hands. He reigns over the heavens and the earth. The Lord, who owns all the silver and gold, and the fullness of the earth, is now going before you! Perhaps you have woken up and are preparing for the day—maybe you are heading to work or dealing with a challenging situation, such as a court case, an enquiry, or a tender process. Are you planning to start a new business, go for a hospital check-up, or visit a doctor? Are you seeking a bride or groom for your child? Whatever your plans may be, know this: the Lord promises to go before you and make the crooked places straight.
In every area where you face challenges or delays, the Lord will make the way favorable for you. He will smoothen the crooked paths, remove obstacles, and lead you to success. You will no longer wander aimlessly or face unnecessary delays. Some people may say, “I was made to wander,” or “I lost my way.” But today, no one will cause you to wander because God Himself will go before you and make the path straight. If you are preparing for exams or facing an important task, do not be afraid. The Lord will prepare the way for you, help you achieve your goals, and ensure your success.
Testimony
Sis. Mariah Devaraj shares:
“My husband, Devaraj, had severe diabetes, which caused his face, hands, feet, and stomach to swell terribly. He was in a critical condition. He even suffered from involuntary motion and urine leaks, and his fingers had developed wounds. In this desperate situation, I sent an email to Brother Stephen, requesting prayer for complete healing. Brother Stephen prayed and replied. After receiving the email, the swelling, pain, and every problem in my husband’s body were miraculously healed by God. The crookedness in his health was made straight, and he received divine healing. Praise the Lord! The same God who performed this miracle for us will do it for you too.”
Prayer
Dear Lord, we thank You. In the name of Jesus, I greet and bless my children. Lord, You have promised to go before us and make the crooked paths straight. I pray that every crooked area in my children’s lives and futures will be made straight. Wherever they go, let them be established and walk in Your favor. Your Word says that we should run toward the goal for the prize. Let my children move forward without regression. May they hold onto Your hand and achieve great feats. I bless these children, Lord. Whatever matter they pursue today, let it be successful. By evening, let them return with testimonies, giving thanks to You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
