Showers of Blessing!



The blind man (Bartimaeus) said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” Mark 10:51.

Whenever I read Mark 10:46 – 10:52 I always say to myself that I was also once blind like Bartimaeus. I was a traditional Christian who regularly attended church on Sundays. Matthew 15:8 says, “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me and in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.” I was exactly like this.

One day, Jesus opened my eyes too and I was never the same again. My relatives and my friends left me as soon as my eyes were open. They treated me like a leper but I have Jesus on my side forever. He is in charge of my family and my life. What more do I want?  Isaiah 42:16 says, “I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight…” This is what happened to me when I started following Him; miracles, signs and wonders and everything happening until this moment is supernatural.

Bartimaeus wanted a change in his life and he knew only Jesus could do it for him. When Jesus came into his life his days of begging were over and he ended up being a follower of Jesus (Mark 10:52).

There are a lot of people who worship Jesus Christ but sad to say their eyes are not open. They do not see the way Jesus Christ wants them to see Him. Psalm 146:8 says, “The LORD opens the eyes of the blind…” 

When Jesus opens your eyes you will “worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23 – 24.

“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; He shall call upon Me and I will answer him…I will deliver him and honor him” Psalm 91:14-15.

We find in Daniel 6 that King Darius thought of setting Daniel over the whole realm because he saw that Daniel had an excellent spirit in him.  The governors and the satraps were jealous of Daniel, who was so faithful to His God and to the King that they tried to find fault with him concerning the law of his God.  They established a royal statute that whoever petitions any god or man for thirty days, except King Darius, shall be cast into the den. In fact, King Darius did not know the real purpose behind this decree.

Although, Daniel knew about the statute, it did not hinder his prayers to the living God.  Daniel 6:10 says, “And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.”  

We read in Daniel 6:16 that Daniel was cast into the den of lions and the following morning the king asked Daniel, “…has your God whom you serve continually been able to deliver you from the lions? Daniel’s reply was, “My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you.”

If you are going through tough circumstances like this in your life, please do not get troubled. Jesus Christ is there for you. He is standing beside you to help you. He will send His angels for you whenever you call upon him for help. Psalm 91:11 says, “For He shall give His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up…You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.”

Be blessed!

“Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be Christ?” John 4:29


These are the words of the Samaritan lady whose life was completely changed because of an encounter with Jesus Christ at Sychar. This lady met Jesus at Jacob’s well and it was the turning point in her life. All of us might still remember how we all turned to Jesus. She did a wonderful job in spreading the word about Jesus Christ and thus turned many more in the city to Jesus.


In verse 28 we read, “The woman then left her water pot, went her way into the city, and said to the men… The water pot was a hindrance for her to spread the word about Jesus Christ. It must have been heavy to carry around. I have often thought that some of us who are called to spread the Word of God are carrying similar water pots. The water pot can resemble our jobs, future of our children, financial matters and so on. It can drift us away from our call to spread the Word of God even without our knowledge.


My dear friend, as the Word says in Matthew 6:33, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”


Be Blessed!

Showers of Blessing!

Many a times I have asked this question to the Lord Jesus Christ and to myself, “What am I doing here?”  I know that the Lord has great plans for me so as to fulfill His greater plans. The other day when I asked this question to myself I added this too.  “What did I do to deserve this?” I know that I have no reason to complain at all against the Lord because I walk and live supernaturally in this part of the world.  What really made me ask this question is the tensions and the negative attitudes of those at my workplace.

As soon as I asked this question, my wife answered me, “This is your training period.”  I know most of us have asked this question to ourselves even after receiving a promise from God.

Moses was raised in Pharaoh’s palace and had all the best in life. God had chosen him to be the person to lead the Israelites out of bondage from Egypt.  God had planned beforehand the route from Egypt to Canaan which was through the wilderness. It was exclusively for this purpose that God took Moses out of the palace into the wilderness so as to teach him about the wilderness.  In Exodus 3:18 we read, “The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now , please, let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.”  The Lord, “I AM WHO I AM” did not want to surprise Moses about the wilderness. Therefore, the wilderness experience was given to him ahead of time so that he was ready to take the Israelites out of Egypt at God’s time.

Now, when I say the wilderness experience, I do not mean suffering, sickness, poverty and persecution as some men of God regularly preach. The word says, “Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.” Psalm 35:27. So please do not get me wrong.

Moses had a great responsibility of leading about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides children (Exodus 12:37).  In order to equip Moses to lead the six hundred thousand men and children God took him to Midian.  We read in Exodus 3:1, “Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian.”

Quite often we might think we are at the wrong place doing the wrong job.  Do not worry.  He is training you for the great one. So, get ready for the BIG one. It is coming.

Be blessed!

“The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.” Job 1:21

This verse has been misinterpreted throughout the Christian world which blames Jesus Christ for any disaster that happens in any part of the world. I have heard priests quote this verse during funerals and very recently, I happened to see Job 1:21 written on a house damaged due to the tornado that hit Moore, Oklahoma. I firmly believe the person who wrote it has the same mindset of Job. In Job 38:1, “the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said: “Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?” Don’t you think this is happening even today?

Job did not fully understand the Lord which he himself admits in Job 42:3 “Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.” He goes on to say in Job 42:5, “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear.” Most Christians are likewise.

In my own life, I would say that my Jesus carried me in His hands. What would I do without Jesus in my life?

As we read Job 42:10 we find “The Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.” God does not take away anything from us. In fact, He is a giver. In this context we should know who takes away things from us. John 10:10 says, “The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.”


In order to have a closer relationship with the Lord Jesus we need to read our Bible. Do not be led astray by wrong teachings. Joshua 1:8 says, “This book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate it day and night …For then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have good success.”

“Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams” 1 Samuel 15:22.

Prophet Samuel made this statement to King Saul after he disobeyed the Prophet’s instruction. In my life, Jesus Christ has always instructed me to do certain things and I was obedient to His Word. Until this day, my obedience has reaped supernatural results.  I am sure Jesus Christ has spoken to you too through His Word or through His (true) prophets.

Last week, very early in the morning, the Lord spoke to me in my sleep. He said that I should remain in this land like Isaac did when there was a second famine in the land. We see this in Genesis 26:2 – 5,”Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land which I shall tell you. Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you…I will give to your descendants all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes and My laws.”

And again He spoke to me and said, “If you do not obey Me your fate will be like Lot.” I woke up from my sleep and prayed and I decided to obey His voice. In Genesis 13:10 we see that “Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere like the garden of the LORD… As you read on we find that Lot lost everything in life.

I know it is a little difficult to be in this situation. For me, this has always been my experience with the Lord. He does the planning for us. 1 Peter5:6 says, “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”

We see in Genesis 40:36 – 38,”Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would go onward in all their journeys. But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day that it was taken up.”

Dear reader, if He asks you to stand still and remain in the place where He wants you to be, go ahead and obey His voice. There is always a blessing attached to it.

Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” Matthew 9:29

Jesus Christ, during His entire ministry had compassion on the people and healed everyone who was sick. He was willing to heal anyone who needed healing. We see in Matthew 8:16 that “He cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick.”

It is rather sad to hear when men of God preach that sickness was given to them to teach people a lesson.  I have heard them preach that you should have brokenness and suffering from God. I don’t understand why people listen to such teaching and I came to the conclusion that it is because people do not read the Word. Was there anyone in the Holy Bible during Jesus’ Christ ministry that He did not heal?

I know people who believe that sickness is given by God. Jesus Christ does not want to teach you a lesson by giving you sickness. It is the devil who brings sickness in you. John 10:10 says, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.”

We read in Matthew 10:1,”And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.”

In Matthew 8 we see how Jesus Christ healed a leper, the Centurion’s servant and Peter’s mother-in-law and in verse 16 we see that “He healed all who were sick.” He told the leper, “I am willing, be cleansed” and to the Centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed so let it be done for you.” That is the mind of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!

In Matthew 8:17 we see that “He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sickness.”

Believe that Jesus Christ is still willing to heal you. He loves you. Read the Word and you will understand the depth of His love for you. He has been good to me all of my life. He is such a loving God. Walk closely with Jesus as Enoch walked with God (See Genesis 5:22 & 24).

“I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Psalm 34:1

Hallelujah! Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ! Where would I be without the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? His praise is always in my mouth. He has done wonderful and mighty and awesome things in our lives. Those were miracles which are beyond my imagination. He is still in the process of mighty miracles. I believe “His eyes are always on us” (See 1 Peter 3:12).

“He has hedged me behind and before, and laid His hand upon me” Psalm 139:5. I know for sure that He will not forget me. See I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands.” (See Isaiah 49:15-16).  My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is a wonderful God.  I cannot stop praising Him at any time. “He has put His words in my mouth and has covered me with the shadow of His hand.” (See Isaiah 51:16).

I cannot “go from His Spirit or flee from His presence. If I ascend into heaven, You are there…….Even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.” (See Psalm 139:7 – 10)

What a wonderful God we serve. “The LORD has called me from the womb; from the matrix of my mother He has made mention of my name. And He has made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of His hand He has hidden me, and made me a polished shaft; in His quiver He has hidden me.” (See Isaiah 49:1 – 2)

Hallelujah! It is a privilege to serve the LORD Jesus Christ “Who formed me from the womb to be His servant.” (See Isaiah 49:5)

Thank you Jesus!

Some time later, the LORD spoke to Abram in a vision and said to him, “Do not be afraid, Abram, for I will protect you, and your reward will be great.”

Genesis 15:1 New Living Translation

Now the LORD had said to Abram:

“Get out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.

I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.

I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Genesis 12:1 – 3

“Ephphatha,” that is “Be opened.” Mark 7:34.

These are the words of Jesus Christ to the deaf and mute man.  Throughout the Holy Bible we come across several instances where God opened mighty ways and worked miracles for His own people.

The Lord opened a way for the Israelites who were pursued by the Egyptians by dividing the Red Sea.  He instructed Moses to lift the rod and to stretch out his hand over the sea (Exodus 14:16).  It was a blessing for His people whereas it was a severe punishment for the enemy. 

When the Israelites were travelling through the Wilderness of Sin they camped in Rephidim where there was no water for the people to drink (Exodus 17:1 – 7).  Moses cried out to the LORD and the LORD said, “Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it that the people may drink.”  

In Joshua 3:13 we see how God opened the Jordan for the Israelites.  When the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, rested in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan was cut off.

In my life, I have gone through several situations where the Lord Jesus Christ himself has sent His angel down for me to overcome my severe problems.  It is the same angel we come across in Exodus 23:20, “Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.”  I know for sure that the same Jesus Christ is there for you too.  When I come across such a situation I always remember the cry of blind Bartimaeus which stopped Jesus (Mark 10:46). 

Be Blessed!

“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers” 2 Corinthians 6:14. 

Apart from King David’s instruction in 1 Kings 2:3- 4 to Solomon the Lord appeared twice to King Solomon and He said, “I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you.  And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days.  So if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days”  1 Kings 3:12 – 14.

We read in 1 Kings 3:3 that “Solomon loved the LORD” and in return “God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore” 1 Kings 4:29.  He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were one thousand and five 1 Kings 4:32.

King Solomon drifted away from the Lord because of his love of foreign women of whom the Lord had said to the children of Israel, “You shall not intermarry with them nor they with you. Surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods” 1Kings 11:2. 

The Word says, “Solomon clung to these women in love” (1Kings 11:2) and his wives turned away his heart (1Kings 11:3) from the Lord. 

We read how King Solomon went after other goddess and did evil in the sight of the Lord.  This made the Lord angry with Solomon who had appeared to him twice (1Kings 11:9).

Jesus Christ has great plans for you.  Do not hinder His plans by entering into relationships which the Lord does not approve.  Be careful with whom you associate with.  Stand firm in the Lord so that nothing can persuade you and take you away from the Lord. 


2 Corinthians 6:16 says, “And what agreement has the temple of God with idols?  For you are the temple of the living God.


Be Blessed!

“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers” 2 Corinthians 6:14. 

Jehoshaphat, King of Judah was a God fearing king and he held high the Prophets of the Lord.  He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD (1 Kings 22:43).  We read in 2 Chronicles 17:3, “Now the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of his father David; he did not seek the Baals, but sought the God of his father and walked in His commandments and not according to the acts of Israel.”  Whenever he faced a problem he depended on the Lord as we see in 1 Kings 22:5 and in 2 Chronicles 20:12. He was a lover of peace and made peace with Ahab, the King of Israel. 

On the other hand, the Lord condemned Ahab because of his wickedness.  However, King Jehoshapat was a close friend of King Ahab which displeased the Lord.  The Lord had warned him to stay away from the wicked King Ahab as we see in 2 Chronicles 19:2, “Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD?  Therefore the wrath of the LORD is upon you.” 

On a second occasion, the Lord again warned King Jehoshapat because he allied himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who acted very wickedly.  2 Chronicles 20:37 says, “Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works.” 

In our daily lives, this is something which we need to remember.  Stay away from wicked people and those who hate the Lord. I have seen God’s children doing business with such people and you know what the outcome is.  This is applicable when it comes to marriages too. Naturally the question arises, why?  This is because “you are the temple of the living God” 2 Corinthians 6:16

“For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14.

Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?  2 Corinthians 6:15.

Be blessed!

“You shall eat the old harvest, and clear out the old because of the new” Leviticus 26:10.

What a wonderful promise we have from the Lord Almighty.  As I read this promise this morning I wanted to share with you because this is a promise and a blessing for each and every one of us.  It is an excellent promise for the believer but the Lord keeps a condition for every blessing. There are promises in the Holy Bible which are for His people and the only condition for these promises is perfect obedience to His Word.

You may interpret the Word in this way - the old harvest is already in my home and I am enjoying the harvest with my family.  I am not done with the old harvest because the harvest is so huge that I cannot finish it within the next harvest season.  The blessing of the Lord is overflowing on me.  We read in Psalm 23:5 – 6 “My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”

As I am enjoying the old harvest here comes the new harvest.  The Word says that I have to clear out the old harvest because of the new harvest.  This is the volume in which the Lord is waiting to bless His children.  How can I stop worshipping my Lord for all his blessings?

When you are in perfect line with the Lord Jesus Christ “He will give you rain in its season, the land shall yield its produce and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit” Leviticus 26:4.

Please read Leviticus 26:1 – 13 and be blessed.

“Then Elisha said, “Hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the LORD: ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria” 2 Kings 7:1.

The situations are all adverse for the King of Samaria. The King himself was responsible for all the calamities but he puts the blame on Prophet Elisha. The officer in charge also joins the King to blame Prophet Elisha. 2 Kings 6:32 says that the king even sent a messenger to kill the Prophet. But the Prophet prophesies a blessing upon the people by which the famine is going to end and there is going to be abundance in Samaria. The King’s officer could not believe the prophecy because he could not digest the volume of the Prosperity that is going to come.

I have seen people reject “Prosperity” because they think it is not from God and in their own words ‘it is demonic.’ All of a sudden they become too “spiritual.” God wants His people to live in Supernatural Prosperity. Let me tell you, the negative speaking will see God’s prosperity but will not enjoy it and that is exactly what happened to the king’s officer.

The four lepers who were at the entrance of the gate took a step of faith and entered the enemy’s camp. In 2 Kings 7:8 we read, “they went into one tent and ate and drank, and carried from it silver and gold and clothing ….. Whatever the Samarians lacked was found in the enemy’s camp. God used the four lepers to bring in the blessing of the Lord to Samaria although they were not allowed in the city.

I know there are Preachers and Pastors who do not believe in God’s Prosperity but on the other hand live in abundance. Dear believer, even if you do not believe in God’s Supernatural Prosperity, please do not speak against it. God’s Prosperity is not just finance but it is prosperity in all areas of your life. That is exactly what God has intended for you.

A blessing is at your doorstep. Be ready to receive it. It could be today, tomorrow or any moment.

Be Blessed!

“But he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.” 1 John 5:18.

The enemy uses his weapon against the Lord’s children in all ways he can. But it is of no use because the Lord’s children are protected and especially when we are covered by the blood of Jesus the enemy’s weapon shall not prosper. In fact, the weapon which the enemy uses against the believer will turn against the enemy itself. I have seen that whenever it happened to me.

King Saul was very angry when the women sang as they danced and said, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.” (1 Samuel 18:7-8). “So Saul eyed David from that day forward. And it happened on the next day that the distressing spirit…” came upon King Saul from the devil. (1 Samuel 18:9-10). 1 Samuel 19:1 says, “Now Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David; but Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted greatly in David.”

David’s anointing worked for him. He was supernaturally protected by the Lord. We read what King David said in Psalm 34:7, “The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them.” King Saul had a tragic end. “The archers hit him, and he was severely wounded by the archers” 1 Samuel 31:3. “Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it” 1 Samuel 31:4.

In the book of Esther, we find Haman was filled with pride after he received a promotion from King Ahasuerus. Everyone in the palace and the King’s servants bowed and paid homage to him except Mordecai, who would not bow or pay homage to him (Esther 3:5). Haman decided to kill the Jews (Esther 3:8) and laid out a plan to kill Mordecai too. The King ordered Haman to be hanged on the same gallows which he built for Mordecai.

Be assured that the enemy cannot even touch you or your family because you are born again.

Be blessed!

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8 – 9.

It is so true that the Lord’s thoughts and ways are completely different from our thoughts and ways. I surrendered completely to my Lord Jesus Christ from the day I came to realize that His thoughts and ways for me are flawless. Moreover, I came to understand that nothing works for me and my family except through His plans. God’s plans for us are way higher than we think.

In Genesis 15:3-4 we read, Then Abram said, “Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!” And behold the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.”

In Genesis 16:2 we see that Abram heeded to the voice of Sarai which was not what God had planned for Abram. So now we see how the plan of God was altered.

The Lord told Jonah to go to Nineveh and preach repentance to the people. Although Jonah made other plans were he ended up in big trouble, he had to return to Nineveh and preach the Lord’s message which in turn saved one hundred twenty thousand people and much livestock as mentioned in Jonah 4:11.

“The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations.” Psalm 33:10-11.

Our Lord Jesus Christ has wonderful thoughts and ways for us. Wait for his ways to come to pass.

There is a beautiful verse in Jeremiah 29:11 which I know will be a blessing for all of us. It says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Be Blessed!

“Put Me in remembrance” Isaiah 43:26.

Welcome to our readers to a blessed, supernatural and a prosperous 2012! If you have promises from previous years which are not yet fulfilled, please do not fret. Jesus Christ is in control. It is worth the wait. The Word says in Exodus 23:20, “Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.” We know that Jesus Christ is working for us. His plans are flawless and He does not want us to meddle with His plans.

When we find that things are stagnant and nothing is working in our favour, there is one thing we can do; and that is to put the prophecies and the promises of the Lord into His remembrance.

In the Holy Bible, there are the Lord’s saints who put the Lord into remembrance and one of them was Samson. We read about him in Judges 16:28. “Then Samson called to the LORD, saying, “O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, just this once, O God, that I may with one blow take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes!” God granted his request and we read in verse 30, “So the dead that he killed at his death were more than he killed in his life.”

In the first book of Samuel chapter one verse six we read that Hannah was provoked severely by Peninnah which made her miserable because she did not have children. In verse 10 it says, “And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, and wept in anguish. Verse 11: “Then she made a vow and said, “O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.” In verse 18 we see that Hannah went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad. God answered her prayer by giving a great Prophet who was also a great judge. His ministry took off with the downfall of a great Prophet – Prophet Eli.

In 2 Kings 20:1 we see that “King Hezekiah was sick and near death.” God sent Prophet Isaiah to inform King Hezekiah to “set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.” King Hezekiah refused to die and we read in verse 2, “Then he turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying, 20:3 “Remember now, O LORD, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what was good in Your sight.”

Prophet Isaiah returned to King Hezekiah to inform what the Lord had told him according to verse 5, “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the LORD."

Moreover, the Lord gave King Hezekiah an additional blessing as we read in verse 6: “And I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for My own sake, and for the sake of My servant David.”

He surely remembers you because the Word says, “He remembers His covenant forever, the word which He commanded for a thousand generations” Psalm 105:8.

Be blessed!

Showers of Blessing!

“I will lift up my eyes to the hills – from whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD who made heaven and earth” Psalm 121:1 – 2.

Thanks, praise and glory be to the Lord who blessed and prospered us beyond our imagination throughout 2011. I am so full of love, joy and grateful to my Lord for walking us through 2011 in Super Natural Prosperity. Our hearts swell with joy and happiness for all the wonderful and beautiful (excellent) things He has done in our lives.

As we move into the New Year God has wonderful things in store for us. He is ready to “act for the one who waits for Him” Isaiah 64:4. We read in 1 Corinthians 2:9, “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” Love the Lord Jesus Christ unconditionally. You can see the results in days or in hours as it happened in 2 Kings 7.

The people of Samaria experienced a famine and Prophet Elisha prophesied which realised the following day. The four leprous men found an abundance of what they needed in the Syrian camp. Can you imagine an army coming for war with an abundance of gold, silver, clothing and food? Well, if you need a miracle today expect the same which happened in Samaria. God is going to bring to you what you need through someone. With God nothing is impossible.

In 1 Kings 17:4 we see that the Lord commanded the ravens to feed Prophet Elijah. For a moment, can you imagine a raven bringing food for the Lord’s servant? Normally, it is the raven which should eat the food as soon as it sees it. But the raven could not eat it because the Lord had commanded it to bring food for His servant. Likewise, you will see ravens feeding you in this New Year. Do not be surprised. Jesus Christ had ordered several ravens to help us while we moved into this part of the country. God moves the hearts of people to help His children.

God is going to provide divine connections in the New Year. You might not even know the person whom God is going to connect with you. He or she might not be of any importance to you. See how God arranged Boaz to be in a divine connection for Ruth the Moabitess when she came to Bethlehem. When Ruth accepted the Lord to be her Savior, everything fell in place. Hebrews 13:2 reads “Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.”

May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you abundantly in the New Year. Psalm 91: 14 says, “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because He has known My name.”

Moreover, the Lord will protect you from all evil as the Word says in Psalm 91:10, “No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.”

Have a blessed and prosperous 2012!

Showers of Blessing!

“The one who breaks open will come up before them; they will break out, pass through the gate, and go out by it; their king will pass before them. With the LORD at their head.” Micah 2:13.

This is a beautiful promise in the Holy Bible which keeps me going when I face difficult situations in my life where I am totally stuck, nowhere to turn to and completely rejected by people for no reason. I don’t know if you have gone through any of these situations in your life. This has happened to me several times. Jesus Christ is the only answer in such terrible situations and He gave me this blessed promise. Yes, He is the MIGHTY BREAKER and He has opened doors for us miraculously which we could never imagine and ‘it was only for us.’

This verse is a strong promise for all of us and know for sure that Jesus Christ is the only person who will be there for you in such situations. He is the MIGHTY BREAKER for all of those who believe Him. Let it be any problem in your life; believe, He is standing right by you to help you through. Hold on to His hands, He loves you and follow Him.

There are several instances in the Holy Bible where God opened doors for His people. In the book of Exodus, we see God brought the Israelites into Canaan, a land flowing with milk and honey, which belonged to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and the Jebusites. Exodus 23:20 says, “Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.”

In the book of Acts, chapter 12 we see Herod the king arrested Peter and put him in prison because it pleased the Jews. Acts 12:7 “Now behold an angel of the LORD stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up saying, “Arise quickly!” And his chains fell off his hands.” Although Peter was sleeping in the prison, Jesus Christ sent His angel in the prison to rescue His precious child. As we read on in verse 10 it says, “When they were past the first and the second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened to them of its own accord; and they went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.”

You are a precious child of the Lord Jesus Christ. Your friends and your relatives will really forget you when you need help. And remember, they cannot help you in any way except Jesus Christ. He is concerned about you and is closely watching you all the time. “Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands.” Isaiah 49:15-16.

In Acts 16:25, Paul and Silas were in prison for healing a demon possessed girl. Unlike Peter, Paul and Silas prayed and sang hymns to God. In verse 26 we read, “Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.” God opened the prison doors for His precious people.

Dear reader, the MIGHTY BREAKER loves you and He is going to open a door for you today. Love Him and talk to Him. He loves you more than anyone else in the world. Expect a miracle today.

Be blessed!
