Today's Word of Blessing

GOD REJOICES OVER YOU

The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.    (Zephaniah 3:17)

  Dearly beloved, the awesome, mighty, incomparable, victorious and compassionate God who has the power to save you is with you on this day.

God is in the midst of you and is always approachable. The Bible says, “The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you…” (Zephaniah 3:17).

God lives in unapproachable light (1 Timothy 6:16). Normally, no man can enter into His presence. However, our loving Lord Jesus Christ says that He can take us to the Father.

He says, “My dear children! Ask in My name for anything and I will give it to you.” That is why, whenever we make our supplications to our heavenly Father, we offer it in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Through Him, one can enter into the presence of the Almighty God.

The Lord says, “But I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people” (Jeremiah 7:23). The Bible says, “For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.’ ‘I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty’ (2 Corinthians 6: 16, 18). The Lord longs to walk and dwell with you as a mighty God to pull you out of all your troubles.

When my sister Angel passed away, we wept. One day, the Lord spoke to us through the Holy Spirit: “My children! I am also crying with you. Don’t think that I am hard-hearted. If I were to explain the reason as to why I allowed this, you will not understand. At the right time, you will understand it. You must understand that now I am also weeping with you.” Truly, He weeps along with us when we weep.

It is recorded in the Bible that Lord Jesus Christ did weep along with Martha and Mary. Only after that he questioned them, “Where have you laid Lazarus?” Lord Jesus went to the tomb where Lazarus was laid and cried out, “Lazarus come forth!” Lazarus came out as a living soul.

Lord Jesus Christ rejoiced upon seeing the overwhelming happiness on the faces of Martha and Mary when Lazarus was brought back to life. This is the wonderful heart of our Lord Jesus Christ. He wants to see us happy. It was for this purpose He had suffered on the cross at Calvary.

Lord Jesus has destroyed the powers of sorrows, sickness and sin. Today, when you cry out to Him, “Lord! Save me from sin, sickness and devil,” He will descend as a mighty God in your midst to deliver you. He will delight in your deliverance.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

I confess that You are with me as a mighty warrior. Help me to place my trust in You to be strengthened always. Grant me the anointing of the Holy Spirit that I may be strengthened to do good works throughout my life. Help me to watch and pray. I trust that Your only begotten Son is the Bread of Life and He shed His blood to cleanse me of my sins. On this day, may the joy of the Lord be my strength.

I ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen.
