March 1, 2025
Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I wish you a very happy and blessed new month of March 2025. The Bible says in Psalms 9:18, “For the needy shall not always be forgotten; The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.”
In this verse, the word “needy” refers to a simple poor man. A simple poor man is often easily forgotten by friends, relatives, and society. Even in the family, if there are five brothers and sisters, the well-off siblings may join together and treat the poor brother or sister differently. Sometimes, a poor sibling may not even be invited to special family functions and would be completely forgotten. Even today, if you feel forgotten by your relatives, do not worry, for the Lord remembers you. God is mindful of you and says, “You will not be forgotten by Me.”
In the story of Hannah, after getting blessed with a child, she said, “Lord, You remembered me and gave me a son,” and she offered her son for God’s service. Our God never forgets us, and remembers our prayers and requests. You may have placed many prayer requests at the feet of the Lord and might be thinking that He has not answered, that God has forgotten you.
Today, the Lord says He remembers you and will never forget you. Today, God will search you out and perform a miracle—even for prayers you have forgotten. Sometimes, we pray and later stop praying about certain things, just like the couple Zechariah and Elizabeth. They continuously prayed for a child but eventually stopped as they became old. However, the Lord remembered their prayers and sent an angel to Zechariah, saying, “Zechariah, I bring good news to you. Your request has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will conceive and bear a son, and you shall name him John.” God remembered the prayers of Zechariah and Elizabeth.
In the same way, the expectations of the poor will never perish.
Today, you may be in a lowly situation, despised by others, facing reproach like Hannah for not having a child. You may be reproached by others for not having a good job, income, marriage, child, financial stability, social status, or education. The Bible says the expectation of the poor will not perish, so do not lose hope in the Lord. Trust Him, and He will bless you and take you to the next level. All your crises will change, so do not worry or lose faith. God will surely put an end to all your problems, debts, and shame, and your hope will not be cut off.
I would like to share the testimony of a sister that was shared during our Anbarin Paathathil meeting once. She shared that it had been more than five years since her marriage and that she had been affected by PCOD and thyroid issues. She mentioned that people often said it was difficult for a woman with these conditions to conceive. However, she prayed daily, asking God to grant her a natural conception without any medical treatment. She and her husband participated in the Anbarin Paathathil fasting meeting, where they met me for an individual prayer. During the prayer, I prayed that she would receive a positive pregnancy result and conceive in Jesus’ name. Holding onto that prophetic word, she and her husband continued to pray with faith. Later, when the doctors examined her, they confirmed that she was pregnant. In due time, she gave birth to a beautiful, healthy son. She expressed her gratitude to God, who had blessed her with the gift of the womb after five years.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, we thank You. As You have promised in Your Word that the poor will never be forgotten, I pray and bless those who are reading this. Lord, please remember them, hear their prayers, and perform a miracle in their lives. Just as You remembered Hannah and gave her a child, and as You remembered Zechariah and Elizabeth and blessed them with a child, please remember Your children today, answer to all their prayer requests and perform a miracle in their lives. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
