Gist:  Whoever offers praise glorifies Me.

Two blind men came in search of Jesus Christ. He looked at them and asked, “What do you want?” When they replied, “We want to see!” Jesus asked them, “Do you believe that I have power to grant you vision?” When they replied affirmatively, He said, “Let it be so according to your faith” and immediately they received vision in their eyes (Matthew 9:28).

On this day, whatever be the problem that you are faced with just open your heart and acknowledge saying, “Lord Jesus Christ! I believe that You have the power to perform miracles in my life.” As you read this message trusting in Lord Jesus who has assured to abide with you always even till the end of the ages and believe that with Him all things are possible then you will see His power descending into your life now (Matthew 28:20; Luke 6:19).

On this day, whatever be the ailments that are tormenting you it shall be rebuked in the mighty name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The diseases will leave your body and you will be made whole. Jesus Christ cried saying, “Lazarus come forth!” (John 11:43). Lazarus came alive immediately. Whether it is tumour, cancer, headache, thyroid problem, kidney problem, diabetes, stomach problem or any other physical illness it should come out of everyone in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. God delivers you from all sickness and makes you glad on this day. You are going to shout with joy, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).

Two young boys went to a garden. There were a lot of mangoes hanging on a particular mango tree. They were tempted to taste that fruit. So they plucked one fruit and partook of it. It was delicious. So one young boy plucked all the fruits and took it to his house. The one who saw his friend take home all the fruits without giving him any uprooted the mango tree and set it in his home.

Following this, he took great care of the mango tree and during the mango fruit season got lots of delicious mangoes to eat. In the same way, we believe that Jesus Christ has the power to do miraculous and wondrous acts in our life. It is true that Jesus Christ can perform miracles in your life. Asking for miracles is like tasting one mango fruit but asking for the anointing of the Holy Spirit is planting the mango tree in your home or asking Jesus Christ Himself to abide with you always. Then there were will be no lack of any goodness in your life.

Just plead, “Loving Lord Jesus Christ! Please come and dwell in my heart on this day.” Dear Friend! Don’t you desire to have the One who is all powerful in you? Don’t you have the desire to possess the nine gifts and fruit of the Holy Spirit? Jesus Christ alone can heal the broken-hearted, cleanse you of your sins and deliver you from all evil. God says, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me” (Psalm 50:15).

All those who call upon His name will be kept in high places. God also promises to honour all those who call upon Him. “He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him” (Psalm 91:15). Therefore, on this day, call on the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to receive the honour that He has in store for you. Be of good cheer!

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus Christ,

I praise You with all my heart. On this day, give me the grace to confess my faith before all men. Help me to have such a faith as that of a mustard seed by which I can command the fig tree to be uprooted and planted in the seas. Please kindle faith in my heart to serve You more and more. I invite You to come and dwell in my heart and in our house. Like Joshua help us to serve You as a family abounding in faith coupled with actions.

In Your precious name I pray.

Amen.
