WONDERFUL COUNSELOR

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.    (Psalm 32:8)
  Dearly beloved, our God is wonderful in counsel (Isaiah 28:29). He says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you” (Psalm 32:8). The Lord sees those who have been forsaken by everyone. He shows them the way they should walk. He keeps His eyes upon them and instructs them.

Recently, I had been to Singapore to do the Lord’s ministry. I spoke about Jabez in one of my meetings. His mother had named him Jabez saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory. Let your hand be with me and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request (1 Chronicles 4:9,10). This was the crux of my message.

One of the sisters who heard my message that day, came running to the dais in order to share her testimony to glorify God. She said, “Today, I have lost everything and I am literally on the street. I do not know what will happen when I return home.”

“Inspite of my agony, I came to this meeting with great expectation. I firmly believe that today’s message was given only for me. Although I have lost everything in life, today God has filled my heart with His divine joy and peace. I am confident that the Lord who sees me will certainly bless me in double measure just as He blessed Jabez.”

After a few days, I received a phone call from the pastor of the church who arranged that meeting in Singapore. He told me, “Sister, do you remember that person who shared her testimony as to how she lost everything in life and how your message was a blessing to her? Today, God has blessed her in an abundant measure and she is leading a happy life.”

In the same way, God saw the tears of Hagar. The angel of the Lord found her near a spring in the desert and asked, “Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She answered, “I am running away from my mistress Sarai.” Then the angel of the Lord told her, “Go back to your mistress and submit to her.” Hagar obeyed His words and returned to her mistress. She delivered a child at the right time and her family was blessed (Genesis 16:15).

Even today, the Lord is looking at you. He wants to be with you and guide you. When you obey His instruction, He will supply all your wants and bless you.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are wonderful in counsel. You are the Lord who sees me and knows my situation. Trusting in your faithfulness, I submit my life to You. I choose to obey your words and live by your counsel. Guide me with your divine counsel and enable me to experience your wonderful grace. May blessings follow me all the days of my life.

I ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen.

THE GLORY OF REDEMPTION

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.    (John 3:16)
  Dearly beloved, Lord Jesus came to the world to redeem us.

Every human being entering this world is born in sin. Even a new born child, after a few months, feels jealous if its mother carries or hugs another small baby. Though it cannot express the jealousy within words, it shows it by crying.

As the baby grows, it refuses to share its toys with other children. This is what the Psalmist says in Psalm 51:5, “And in sin my mother conceived me.”

Because a man is born in sin, he surely needs redemption from sin. That is why some people offer the blood of goats, cows and other animals as an offering to be redeemed from sin. But this can never give them permanent redemption. Therefore, our Almighty God sent His only begotten Son into this world as the propitiation for our sins (John 3:16, 1 John 3:1).

Though I was born in a Christian family, I did not receive the free gift of salvation. I was only a nominal Christian. One day, when I was alone, I was longing for the love of my parents. And that was the time Lord Jesus came in search of me. He filled my heart with all His love. The same day He became my closest Friend.

He not only gave me this free gift of salvation in my life but also started using me as a tool to enable others to receive salvation. How great is the love of our God! The Lord who gave this blessing of salvation to me and my family members will also bless you so that you can be redeemed from sin.

Dear Friend! Today, the same love will redeem you and give you freedom from the slavery of sin and lusts of this world. Yes, our God is impartial and not a respecter of persons (Acts 10:34, Galatians 2:6, Romans 2:11). God is eagerly waiting to redeem you with the blood He has shed on the Cross. Without any prejudice He wants to give freedom from a life of sin, curse, anger and evil in your life.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You gave your life for my redemption. Help me to understand the glory of Your redemption. Accept me as Your child. Let Your divine will be fulfilled in my life also. Further, use me as Your vessel to help others to be redeemed from sin. Give me the grace to live for your glory.

I ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen.

THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDES US

In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.    (Acts 2:17)

Dearly beloved, the Lord has promised, "…My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest" (Exodus 33:14). Moses prayed, “If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people" (Exodus 33:13).

When Moses cried out to God, “Lord, You have called me by name and I have found grace in Your eyes. You are going before me. Hence show me Your way,” the Lord graciously showed Moses His way (Psalm 103:7).

God has planned everything for us. He has planned as to how we should walk, what we should do, whom we should marry, etc. He is our Heavenly Father. He says, “For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11).

All we have to do to receive His blessings is to know His way. He gives us His Holy Spirit only to show His way.

The Bible says: “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams” (Acts 2:17). “This is what the LORD says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: 'I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go'" (Isaiah 48:17).

When we plead with God to show us His way, He will open our eyes and show us the way. When we walk in His way, we will be blessed.

After the home call of my father Bro. D. G. S. Dhinakaran on 20th February 2008, I was standing near his coffin. Nearly one million people came to pay their last respects to him. All of them unanimously cried, “Father, you have left us.” Only then I realized that doing the Lord’s ministry is not just preaching a message or bringing miracles or singing a few songs. It is much more than that. We must know the plan of God for the people and reveal it to them. We must lead them just like a father.

From that day onwards I started praying, “Lord, what should I do? My father revealed Your plan to the people, ministries and the nation. Now who can be a father to them?” I cried like this for 23 days. The Holy Spirit came upon me mightily on 14th March 2008 and told me as to what I should do and what will happen in the world. That day, He revealed His grace to me and strengthened me to be a blessing to others.

When we know the will of God and do it, we will receive His blessings. Balaam said, “The oracle of one whose eye sees clearly” (Numbers 24:3). In the same way, God will open our eyes also. He will pour His Spirit of prophecy into us and enable us to know His will. Through that, we can enjoy rest and we do not have to worry about anything. When we do whatever He says, He will give us more and more rest.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are my Heavenly Father. You have planned everything for me. Pour your Spirit into me. Open my eyes and show me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Teach me to do your will that I may receive your blessings. Strengthen me to be a blessing to others.

I ask this through Christ our Lord
Amen.

LIVING IN VICTORY

The LORD watches over you-- the LORD is your shade at your right hand    (Psalm 121:5)
  Dearly beloved, the Bible assures, “The LORD watches over you-- the LORD is your shade at your right hand” (Psalm 121:5). God loves you and watches over you all the time. He is ever ready to help you.

The Bible says: “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:37-39).

We go through bitterness in this life. Some people even try to commit suicide. Committing suicide is not a solution to all your problems. It is the love you have for the Lord which will enable you to lead a victorious life. The Bible says that God is love (I John 4:8 and 16). Our loving God will never allow us to suffer for long.

Consider the life of Esther. Suddenly, she had to face a storm in her life. Haman, a cruel man, wanted to destroy the Jews completely. He also had the support of the king. So no one could question him. When Esther heard about his treacherous plan, she clung on to God. She and her friends sought the face of God with fasting for three days. She poured out her heart at the feet of God.

She cried out to God according to the following Scripture verses: “Arise, cry out in the night, as the watches of the night begin; pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord” (Lamentations 2:19). “I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy. I pour out my complaint before him; before him I tell my trouble” (Psalm 142:1,2).

The Lord heard her prayer and granted her a new hope and new confidence. With the help of God, she began to act. The Bible says, “He did this today with God’s help (I Samuel 14:45). The Lord was with Esther and protected her (Isaiah 52:12). Finally, Haman and his family were destroyed by the king and the Jews were saved.

The Lord will do the same for you also. Probably, you are going through tribulations in your life. May be you are going through agony as a result of your failures. You must learn to look only at Lord Jesus. Although Esther was a queen, she humbled herself and fasted in the presence of God for three days. Many people lose all their hope and keep crying all the time. Many others go to various places seeking deliverance due to their ignorance.

Dearly beloved, do not indulge in activities that do not please the Lord. They will only drag you into sin. Lord Jesus is eagerly waiting to remove all your afflictions. He says, “You can do nothing without me.” When you abide in Lord Jesus Christ, He will make you a conqueror.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are my Deliverer. I call upon You in the day of my trouble. I cast my cares on You. I trust You to get through this trial. Standing firm in my faith, I pray for my deliverance. Deliver me from this trial in your name and authority. Let my faith in You bring me victory.

I ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen.

GOD'S WATCHFUL EYE

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.    (1Peter 3:12)
  Dearly beloved, the Bible says, “The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer…” (1Peter 3:12).

Many years back, when my son Paul was quite young, my husband sent a message to one of the Evangelists through him. He asked him to bring back a reply from him. Paul took his bicycle and went to that house.

He knocked the door of that house around 7.30 in the morning. But the door did not open. He kept on knocking. Then one of the neighbours said, “Why are you simply knocking? They will never get up before 8’o clock.”

What do the neighbours say about you and your family?

The Scripture says, “Who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body” (Philippians 3:21). In the above mentioned Scripture verse, God Himself has promised to transform our lowly bodies into His glorious body. So plead with Him to transform you today. The Bible says, “For everyone who asks receives” (Matthew 7:7,8). He will surely answer your prayer.

You must seek the Lord as a family early in the morning. This is what God has graciously taught us to do in our family. Every day, we will have our family prayer at 6’o clock in the morning. That is why God has blessed us in an abundant measure. When you seek the Lord in this fashion, He will bless you also.

What did Lord Jesus tell His disciples?

He said, “I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high" (Luke 24:49). “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about” (Acts 1:4).

The disciples of Lord Jesus were gripped by fear. They were wondering as to what would happen to them after His death. They were very much worried about their future. So they were sitting in a room with all doors closed fearing as to what would happen to them. It was at that moment Lord Jesus appeared before them and said, “Peace be unto you.”

Today, are you worried about your future? The Lord will surely remove all your fears and anxieties and bless you with His strength. Then you will be able to lead a witnessing life for Him (Acts 1:8). The Bible discloses, “For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him” (II Chronicles 16:9). According to the above mentioned Scripture verse, the Lord is very much concerned about you. He watches over you all the time.

When you maintain a close relationship with God and reflect the love of Lord Jesus to others, God will be pleased with you. He will save you, transform you and enable you to grow in Him. He will also fill you with perfect knowledge and grant His abundant blessings.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

I seek You earnestly. In your mercy, look upon me and give ear to my prayer. Remove all my fears and anxieties concerning my future. Bless me with your strength. Transform me and help me to lead a life for your glory. Fill me with perfect knowledge and grant me your abundant blessings.

I ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen.
