HIS HOLY PEOPLEDate: 08-03-2010
Speaker: Sis. Stella Dhinakaran Gist: God will make us His holy people and bless us abundantly.
“The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways.” (Deuteronomy 28:9). This verse reveals an important truth for those who want to follow the Lord Jesus. Abraham was a man called by the Lord. Initially, he did not know the truth about the Lord in the proper perspective. But, we come to know from the Bible that later on Abraham followed the Lord diligently and obeyed Him implicitly. So, the Lord blessed him and his descendants from generation to generation. If we also keep His commandments and walk in His ways, He will make us His holy people and bless us abundantly (Deuteronomy 26:19).
Once, there was a family that did not know the true love of Jesus. They lived a carefree and sinful life like others. One day, their only beloved son, returned home from school with a severe and terrible headache. All the treatment given to him failed miserably. As days went by, it created more and more complications. At that time, a “Jesus Calls Prayer Festival” was conducted in that place. A family that knew the Lord took this family along with them to this Jesus Calls Prayer Festival. The comforting and loving words of Jesus spoken in that meeting gave a new hope to this heart broken family. From that day onwards, they trusted the Lord whole-heartedly. The boy who was touched by the nail-pierced hands of the Lord gradually improved in health. Shortly, he was healed and went back to his school. Through this experience, God in His immense grace and mercy made this family walk in His ways to become His holy people.
Dear Friend! The Lord wants to give this divine experience to every one by His grace. Like this devout family, if we also create opportunities for the people who do not know the Lord, to come to Him and follow Him, He will surely bless us and make us vessels of honour, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work (2 Timothy 2:21).
Prayer:
Loving Lord!
Bless me with this divine experience. By Your grace, give me and my family a sanctified and holy life to abide in You. From today onwards, shower Your riches blessings in our life. In the holy name of our Lord Jesus, I pray.
Amen. |
