Beloved Children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you today, December 21st, through this daily auspicious message. May God bless you abundantly. Today, what is the auspicious word that God has for us. Numbers 24:17 says, “A Star shall come out of Jacob; A Scepter shall rise out of Israel.”
A scepter signifies a ruler who reigns justly. This prophecy refers to Jesus Christ, foretelling His birth long before it happened. The phrase, “A star shall come out of Jacob,” points to Jesus as the great and true Star, who illuminates the whole world. Today, we may hear about many earthly “stars”—celebrities or notable figures who shine for specific communities, countries, or languages. But Jesus Christ is the ultimate Star, the Light for all humankind. He declares, “I am the Light of the world. I am the True Light.” He is coming into your homes today to bring His light.
Beloved, you who may feel insignificant, God is going to make you a shining star in your field. This word is a prophetic declaration over your life: the Star that came from Jacob desires to be born in your life today. If Jesus enters your life, you will gain wisdom and become an achiever. The things you have been unable to accomplish so far, He will enable you to achieve.
The Word says in Psalm 138:8, “The LORD will perfect that which concerns me.” Moreover, the scepter that arises from Israel represents a ruler who brings justice—a symbol of God’s righteous governance over your life. If you have been denied justice, the Lord promises to intervene. He will deliver you and ensure you receive justice.
Now, I wish to share a testimony of God’s faithfulness:
A young boy struggled with his engineering exams, having failed multiple times and accumulated 18 arrears. Despite repeated attempts, he could not pass. Feeling hopeless, he and his mother came to me. He said, “Uncle, I have tried so many times, but I cannot pass even one subject. I have no hope left of completing my engineering degree.”
It was his final chance; if he failed, there would be no further opportunity. I prayed for him and encouraged him, saying, “The Lord who helps—Ebenezer—will be with you. Commit your studies to Him. Work hard, study day and night, and trust that God will take care of the rest. When you go to the exam hall, say, ‘Jesus, come with me.’ The God who gives victory—Jehovah Nissi—will grant you success.” The boy followed this advice, studied diligently, and sought the Lord’s help. By God’s grace, he cleared all 18 arrears in one attempt! The secret to his success was simple: God was with him. Today, if God is with you, He will do great things in your life.
Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You for the Star that has come from Jacob to give us a bright future. We praise You for Jesus, the Scepter from Israel, who reigns with justice and righteousness. Lord, we ask that You bring justice to all who have been wronged and make their hearts rejoice. Thank You for being the God who perfects all that concerns us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
