Today's Word of Blessing

GOD'S GREAT GOODNESS

I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders.    (Psalm 9:1)

  Dearly beloved, God is abundant in goodness.

David had to go through various afflictions in his life. Fearing his own son, he was hiding in the hills and caves. But the Lord was with him all through his afflictions and sufferings, and blessed him in an abundant measure.

Hence David wrote the following words with great joy: “I will sing to the LORD, for he has been good to me” (Psalm 13:6). “I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders” (Psalm 9:1). “How can I repay the LORD for all his goodness to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD” (Psalm 116:12,13).

In a Jesus Calls Prayer Festival held recently, a brother by name Kishore shared his testimony before the mammoth crowd. Everyone was thrilled to hear his testimony. He got married in 1995 and after two years, was blessed with a boy child. But alas! The child died after three days. Within the next 15 days, his wife lost her father. So the entire family was immersed in deep sorrow.

One day while they were watching a Jesus Calls TV Programme, my beloved Father Bro. D. G. S. Dhinakaran was delivering the Lord’s message. It seems during the prayer time he prophetically said, “Now I see a sister, who has lost her son as well as her father, going through much sorrow. The Lord is touching her today and satisfying her with His goodness.”

The wife of Bro. Kishore firmly held on to these prophetic words. Within a few days she conceived again. What a wonder! The Lord blessed her with triplets. All the three babies were boy babies. She lost one boy child in February but got three boy babies in December in the same year. When Bro. Kishore and his wife brought their three sons and shared their testimony, everyone was thrilled. My husband named them as Joshua, Joseph and Joel. Today, the three have grown up and are doing their 10th standard.

You may be going through various problems in your life. Just look at the Lord and tell him, “Lord I have lost my children one after another. How long should I suffer without a child? How long should I wait for a job? Lord, bless me today.” The Lord who blessed the family of Kishore is able to bless you also.

Today, the Lord will bless you also in the same way. He will anoint you with the Holy Spirit and satisfy you with His goodness. He will also supply all your needs. He who promised, “Even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you” (Zechariah 9:12), will certainly bless you in double measure.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are abundant in goodness. I praise You for You have been good to me. I thank You for your benevolence. Lord, I seek your blessings . Remember me in your kindness and show me your favour. Satisfy me with your goodness. Supply all my needs. Bless me in double measure.

In Your matchless name I pray.

Amen.
