Beginning with blessings – Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran
“From this day on I will bless you.” (Haggai 2:19)
Dear friend, today the Lord has a special blessing for you. It is from Haggai 2:19, “’From this day on I will bless you.’” May the Lord stretch forth His hand and bless you. Do you know in what situation the Lord says this? Before He says the blessing He recalls, “Is there yet any seed left in the barn? Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne fruit.” It is then the Lord says, still I will bless you from this very day.
The Lord gave this same blessing to the widow of Zarephath. When she and her son were about to die, without any food for them to eat, the prophet Elijah goes to her and asks for some bread. Then she blessed him with the bread and Elijah blessed her and it was so, “For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the LORD spoken by Elijah.” (1 Kings 17:16) Until the time the Lord sent rain upon the earth, they were provided with everything.
In the same way, the Lord will bless you also today. You might be saying, “Everything has come to stand still. There’s no more food in our hand. No money in our hand. I have lost all my health. I have lost all my blessings.” But then, the Lord will bless you from this day on. Just believe it dear friend. And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19) God will not just meet your need, He will bless you with surplus. He will make sure you never lack ever again.
Prayer:
Loving Father,
Thank You for this wonderful promise. Thank You for I will no more lack any blessing. Thank You for from this day I shall be blessed. Thank You for You will meet all my needs richly. Heal me today and restore health back to me. I give You all the glory.
In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
