Blessing Message

“The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” (Psalm 126:3) 
The promise for today is from Psalm 126:3 were we read, “The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” As soon as I read this verse the first thing that came to my mind was the birth of my dear daughter Katie. It was such a joy when she was born into our lives. Actually the due date was further away but the Lord surprised us by bringing her into our lives sooner than expected. We were filled with so much joy because of this great thing the Lord had done in our life.

Though there were injections going on in each of my hand I couldn’t feel any pain as the Lord filled me with His joy. Yes in the same way the Lord is going to do wonderful and marvellous things in your life today and you are going to experience the joy of the Lord. The Bible says in Psalm 45:7, “You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.” The Lord is going to anoint you with the oil of joy. When you are anointed with joy it will overflow and people around you will experience the joy of the Lord through you. You will be set apart from your companions.

Believe in this promise and thank the Lord in advance because the Lord is going to do wonderful things in your life from now. The Bible is filled with stories that display the wonders of God. One such story is that of Esther’s. She was just a simple girl but the Lord caused everything to fall in place for her to rise up as queen. God is going to do such great things in your life today. Are you going through shame? Be patient. God is going to bring you honour you have never imagined. Just as God lifted Mordecai’s head and Esther’s head He will lift your head too. The circumstances that threatened their life were turned into their benefit and God caused all things to end well. God will do the same for you. Expect great things from God and attempt great thing for God in the words of William Carey. You will receive joy in abundant measure.

Prayer:
Loving Jesus,

Thank You for this wonderful promise verse You have given this day. Thank You for the great things You have done so far and thank You for You are going to do great things in the future. Fill me with Your joy. Lift my head and honour me. Let Your name be glorified through the great things You do for me.

In Your Name I pray, Amen.

“He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.” (Psalm 25:9) 
Dear friends, the Lord has a beautiful promise verse for you today. It is taken from Psalm 25:9, “He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.” First the Lord will guide the humble to justice and then teach them His way. How does He guide us and what is the path of justice? It is the path of the cross. We read in Acts 14:22, Paul and Barnabas went around “strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said”. According to God, we have to go through so many tribulations in order to enter the kingdom of God. This is how the Lord leads us. This is the way of God.
 
In Hebrews 12:5,6 we read, “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you. For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.” When we go through the path of affliction it is very hard for us. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it (Hebrews 12:11). When we go through trouble it will be painful but this is the way God teaches us His way. He also teaches us through the Word of God. We see in Psalm 94:12, “Blessed is the one you discipline, LORD, the one you teach from your law;” Yes, everyday the Lord teaches us through the Word of God. Not only that He sends His Holy Spirit to live among us and teaches us all things.

What a wonderful God we have! He teaches even the small things to us through the Holy Spirit. He will beautifully lead us and guide us even today. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it” (Isaiah 30:21). You don’t have to turn to the right or to the left. God’s voice will lead along the straight path to Heaven. The Lord will catch hold of your hand and lead you beautifully. He says, “Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you” (Isaiah 46:4). Do not be discouraged. The Lord who teaches you is always living in you.

Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father,
 
What a wonderful God I have in You Lord. You are my Teacher and my Guide. You are my only hope Master. Even now as I am going through much tribulation, guide me and teach me Your way. Free me from my troubles Lord. Let me have joy instead of sorrow. Let me see a change in my life from today. Lead me have a straight path. Guide me beautifully. Hold on to my hand and lead me.

In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.“ (Luke 2 :10) 
 
The Lord reminds us of a special promise today. It is in Luke 2:10 “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.”  God has good news for you today. Even now, you might be full of fear. Fear about the future, about what might happen next might torment you. Fears like “Will I get a life partner? Will I get a family life? Will I get a child? Will I get a job? Will I pass this exam? Will I be prosperous?”  might be causing stress in your life. You might be full of fear because of your insufficiencies and be afraid of living your life but remember God’s Word when fears assail you. God says to you, “Do not be afraid”. You will always have hope in Jesus. That is the good news about Jesus.
 
Knowing Jesus you cannot be hopeless or fearful.  Jesus is a living God. So we can always trust Him. Once there was a king who was very worried about many things and lying down depressed. The queen came in to see him and told him, “Do you know king? Jesus is dead.” The king got up with a jolt and said, “What is wrong with you? Jesus rose up from the dead. Jesus is living.” Then the queen said, “But if you knew that He is living you would certainly not be lying down worrying about your needs.” The king’s face brightened. He knew Jesus was living but he did not let the truth sink into his heart. He realised his mistake and became cheerful remembering that if Jesus is living He can surely take care of all his needs. Yes, my dear friend, Jesus is reigning and He is in control of everything. You don’t have to be bothered about anything.
God has a beautiful plan for you to have a beautiful future even before you were born. Isn’t that good news? We read in 1 Peter 1:8, “Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,” As you love Jesus without seeing Him and because you believe in Him, God will fill you with inexpressible joy and remove all your fears. Believe that God will give whatever you need and you will find hope in Jesus. Trust in Jesus and He will fill you joy that you cannot contain. Every fear and worry will flee from you. There is good news for you today. God will do everything for you. You have hope in this world. Cheer up!

Prayer:
Loving Jesus,

Thank You for assuring me that You will bring me only good news. Lord, remove all the fears from my heart. Fill me with Your hope. Thank You for You have a bright future for me. Teach me what to do and how to be successful in life. Heal me and build my life. Prosper all that I do. You are my good news. Fill me with inexpressible joy of having You in my life. Thank You for You are living and You will control my circumstances.

In Your sweet Name I pray, Amen.

“He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless” (Proverbs 2:7) 
 
My dear friend, today’s promise is from Proverbs 2:7, “He (God) holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless.” Today we remember the father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi. We remember his sacrifice for the nation. It was the sacrifice of Jesus through His love that was close to his heart. The victory that Jesus won on the cross through His love inspired Him to follow a sacrificial life. That’s why he introduced and established the satyagraha for victory through love, patience and humility. He believed in prayer. May God give us grace to continue to care for our nation and may God give us an upright heart. The Bible says God gives us victory when we are upright. May God give you victory as you have an upright heart before God.
 
We also read, “For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless” (Psalm 84:11). Yes every good thing will come to those who walk uprightly. The Bible also says, God helps those who are upright. For we read, “But the men said to Saul, “Should Jonathan die-he who has brought about this great deliverance in Israel? Never! As surely as the LORD lives, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, for he did this today with God’s help.” So the men rescued Jonathan, and he was not put to death.” The passage talks about Jonathan. He risked his life for the people so God stood with him and saved him. It was because of God’s help that he was victorious. God helped him because of his upright heart.

Even in your work as you are upright, God will help you and fight your battles. As you are upright God will give you victory. God will give all the provisions for your life because you are upright. For this He gives you wisdom according to Proverbs 2:7. He will teach you to succeed for in Him are the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. For Bible says, “in whom (Jesus) are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:3).Yes, wisdom is no one else than Jesus Christ. He is the treasure of wisdom and knowledge. May God give you the wisdom to walk uprightly and to have victory, provisions and God’s presence in everything you do.

Prayer:
Father,

Bless me with the grace to walk uprightly before You. Let all the blessings of uprightness come upon me. Lead me to see success in all my endeavours. Provide everything for me. Help me and teach me Your wisdom so that I will be victorious.

In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work withinus, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.“ (Ephesians 3:20) 
My precious friend, may God bless you in abundance this month. As we are moving towards the end of the year, I pray that God will make everything prosperous for you who love God. This month’s promise is found in Ephesians 3:20. The scripture says, “Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” In the promise given to Abraham by God in Genesis 17:20, we read that He is a God who blesses us in an exceedingly great measure. So, God has the heart to pour blessing, which we cannot hold. I pray this blessing upon you this month in the name of Jesus. Let us see three people, who were blessed exceedingly and the reason why they were blessed exceedingly.

An angel appears to Mary, the mother of Jesus and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favoured! You are blessed.” (Luke 1:28) Yes! It was a superlative blessing saying “You are greatly and highly favoured by God” because she had a heart to submit to God’s plans. Look at the life of Jesus. When He was twelve years old, in Luke 2:52 the scripture says, “Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man” because He was obedient to His parents. Obedience is the key for receiving favour. As Jesus came and did a miracle by turning the water into wine when His mother who was highly favoured asked Him to do so; He will come and do miracles for you providing sweet wine, sweet blessings, and His sweet presence to you who are highly favoured by Him. You are highly favoured. Do not be afraid.

Secondly, Daniel was also greatly favoured by the Lord. An angel appeared to him and said, “You are greatly beloved of the Lord.” (Daniel 9:23) Do you know why? It was because Daniel claimed the prophecy of Jeremiah for Israel. When we humble ourselves claiming the prophecies, claiming the will of God and pray with fasting, God sends angels to say ‘you are My beloved, greatly beloved.’ Finally, “Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the LORD blessed him. The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy.” (Genesis 26:12 & 13) In this moment of drought, famine, and joblessness, as you give your offering to God’s ministry, God will give you hundred times and increase you with His riches. As you build God’s Kingdom in the lives of people, God will build your life. Great riches came to Isaac as he sowed during the famine. God will bless you as you believe Him and sow in His ministry. You are greatly favoured and are greatly beloved so you will be greatly prosperous. God bless you my precious friend and fulfil His promise to you.

Prayer:
Loving Jesus,

Thank You for this great promise for this month. Lord, let me experience Your great favour and great love so that I become greatly prosperous. Fulfil Your Word that the end will surely be prosperous. Help me to uphold the ministry, do Your will and pray claiming the prophecies so that Your will will be done on earth just as it is in heaven.

In Your sweet Name I pray, Amen.

“Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.” (Proverbs 8:34) 
Dear friend, it is very essential and important for us to listen to God’s Word everyday. It is very important to sit at His feet, read His Word and wait for Him to speak to us. Every morning when we wait on Him, He pours His blessing on us. According to God’s Word in Proverbs 8:34, blessed are those who listen to His Word. The Lord will surely bless everyone who comes to Him and to hear from Him. We should therefore make it a practice to wake up early in the morning and listen to God’s voice.

I know a girl who used to see visions from her childhood. She was telling of how the Bible turned into Jesus Christ Himself once in her vision. That’s when I realised how important the Word of God is. We read about the Word of God in Psalm 119:105, “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” When we ask God to speak to us as we meditate on the scriptures the Lord will guide us and show us the path we need to walk on by being a light to us. He will lead you and direct you in each step of the way as you ask Him to speak to you. You might be very confused thinking what to do and which way to turn but when you turn to God, He will show you the way you should take. 

In the Bible, we see how God commends Mary when she sat at His feet to listen to Him. Martha and Mary were sisters. One day when Jesus had gone to their house, Mary ran and sat at the feet of the Lord to heed to His Word. Martha was busy in the kitchen taking care of the household chores. We might feel that Martha did the right thing but Jesus clearly says, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things. But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.” Jesus meant to say if only you sit at my feet you would have all your worries taken away. Jesus wants us not to care about anything more than we care about our relationship with Him and what pleases Him for only what we do for the Lord will stand against time. So, are you ready to be renewed in your thirst to read God’s Word? You will surely be blessed.

Prayer:
Loving Jesus,

I thank You for this promise verse Father. Help me to sit at your feet and listen to Your Word each day. Remove all anxiety. Let Your words strengthen my heart and show me the way I should go. Lead me according to Your will. Show me the right direction.

In Your sweet Name I pray, Amen.

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10) 
Mr precious friend, God will make your day beautiful. God says, “Do not fear. I am with you.” The Lord does not want any fear to come into the hearts of His children so, He assures us again and again that He is with us and we need to fear nothing. God has poured His love into our hearts and whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love (1 John 4:8). Scripture also says, “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love” (1 John 4:18). Only God has perfect love and His love can drive out the fear in our hearts. He alone loves us at all times and in all circumstances. Thank God for His love for you today.

God says, “I am with you to pour My love upon you. My love will change all things and prefect all your concerns. Just trust me.” When Moses was leaving the world, the Lord asked him to lay his hands on Joshua and dedicate him for the mission of leading the Israelites into the promised land. So, Moses laid his hands on Joshua so that the Spirit of Moses would come upon Joshua. God said, “No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Today, you might have great responsibilities but not have the strength to fulfil them, but God’s anointing will come upon you and strengthen you to fulfil the mission for your life. The same grace that was on Moses, on Jesus, will come upon you.

You will receive the strength to accomplish the responsibilities you have for today. Just as God said to Joshua He says to you, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” You may have to go through certain circumstances, go to certain places and do certain things that might be new for you but God says that wherever you go, whatever you do He will be with you to strengthen you. The Lord will perfect everything that concerns you (Psalm 138:8). God is with you to pour His love on you and do everything for you so do not fear. Be strong.

Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father,

I give myself into Your hands. Fulfil Your promise to me. Be with me. Come with me wherever I go. Perfect everything that concerns me. Help me experience Your love and be strong and courageous to accomplish all my responsibilities. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

“Wherever I cause my name to be honored, I will come to you and bless you.” (Exodus 20:24) 
My precious children of God, the Lord says to you today, “I will come to you and bless you” (Exodus 20:24). These are the words of Almighty God. He wants to bless you.Are you disheartened and worried about many things? God says, “I want to come and bless you my child.” The Bible says, “he will bless those who fear the LORD- small and great alike” (Psalm 115:13). You might be a young person praying to the Lord for a blessing, the Lord says, “I will surely bless you. Psalm 115:12 says, “The LORD remembers us and will bless us.”  The Lord is mindful of you my dear one. You will receive God’s blessings in an abundant measure.

God says, “Their descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the LORD has blessed” (Isaiah 61:9). You will have a blessed generation like Abraham. From Abraham till Jesus the generation was blessed. Similarly, God will bless you too. Are you saying, “I have no child. How can I enjoy this blessing?” Today, God says, “I will bless you my child.” Remember this promise in Isaiah 61:9 and claim this blessing. Jesus will come to you, stay with you and make you rejoice with blessings. Just as we read in Psalm 115:14, 15, “May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children. May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth”, God’s heavenly and earthly blessings will come upon you and your family beyond belief.

All the children of God who sought Him diligently were blessed. Hannah in the Bible went through sorrow because she had no child. Year after year she went to God’s house with just one prayer. She made this vow: “O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, if you will look upon my sorrow and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I will give him back to you. He will be yours for his entire lifetime, and as a sign that he has been dedicated to the Lord, his hair will never be cut.”God did not cast her away. God listened to the silent prayers of her heart and blessed with a child who grew up to be the prophet of Israel. God will do the same for you. You too are going to be blessed. He will answer your prayers and lift your head.

Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father,

You are a God who wants to bless Your people. Bless me Father. Come closer to me. Take away all my sins. Wash me with Your blood and give me a new life. Bless me financially. Meet all my needs according to Your glorious riches.

In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

“For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.” (Psalm 149:4) 
God has a beautiful promise for you to hold on today.  The Bible says, “For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory” (Psalm 149:4). In another translation we read, “For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation.” Yes, the Lord loves you so much though the whole world belongs to the Lord. The Lord has created the whole world but He takes pleasure only in His people. Who are His people? In John 1:12 we read, “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” Because you have accepted Him and believed in His name, you are His people in whom He takes pleasure.

The Bible says, “Surely it is you who love the people; all the holy ones are in your hand. At your feet they all bow down, and from you receive instruction” (Deuteronomy 33:3). The Lord loves His people and He gives His word for the day to His people. Everyday He nourishes them with His word. We read, “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Only because He loves you He leads you with His Word and teaches you what you should do everyday. That is why Paul says, “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want” (Philippians 4:12).

The Lord will teach you all things like how He taught Paul. He will teach you how to manage your life whether in plenty or in want. You will receive contentment in your life. He is the one who makes your life beautiful. We read, “May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, “The LORD be exalted, who delights in the well-being of his servant” (Psalm 35:27). The Lord delights in the wellbeing of His servants, you who are His people. Because He delights in you He blesses you with His Word and His blessings. Today, God assures you that you are His delight and He Himself will lead you.

Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father,

As I have read how much You love me let Your love overflow in me. Let Your love be poured into my heart right now. Holy Spirit enter into my heart and make me whole. Feed me with Your word everyday. Teach me how to live with Your word. Draw me with Your loving kindness and adorn me with Your holiness. Take away all my sins and make my life beautiful. Let Your beauty be seen in me. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
