QUOTES ON TOP

“I want something really worthwhile to live for. I want to invest this one life of mine as wisely as possible, in the place that yields the richest profits to the world and me…wherever it is, I want it to be God’s choice for me and not my own… Christ said, “He that would find his life shall lose it” and proved the truth of this divine paradox at Calvary. I want Him to lead me and His Holy Spirit to fill me.” – Betty Stam

YOU ARE MINE AND YOU ARE A SPECIAL TREASURE SAYS JESUS CHRIST


“But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.” – Isaiah 43:1
Today you might be walking through the path of sorrow and dejection. You might feel lost in this world. Do not worry. God is telling you today: “You are Mine”. 

My dear young friends, you belong to God. You are God’s own people. If you read I Peter 2:9 you can understand that you are a chosen generation and His own special people. 

Deuteronomy 7:6 says like this: “For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.”

Today God wants you to know that you belong to Him and He has chosen you for a purpose. He loves you with a great zeal. You are special to Him. You might live in sin and you might have moved far away from Jesus Christ. Do not get discouraged for He still loves you. 

Holy Spirit had put in my heart to share with you three blessing that God has stored for His own people. As you belong to God, He will bless you with these blessings in this month.

1.      You will never be put to shame.

“You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame.” – Joel 2:26
The first promise that God is giving you today is “you will never be put to shame.” You might go through a path of difficulty in your studies, job or family life.  You might be struggling hard in your life. As you have looked to Jesus Christ for help, you will never be put to shame. He will grant you victory. He will raise you high. 

2.       You will be satisfied with God’s goodness.

“....My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the Lord.” – Jeremiah 31:14
You might not have received the blessing that you are yearning for. You might be discouraged as you are waiting for a particular blessing for a long time. You might be in hunger to receive God’s blessings. You will be surely satisfied with His goodness. 

You want to do something for the glory of God but some guilt is tormenting you a lot. You are saying to yourself that you are not a good person and you will never be useful to Jesus Christ. Today Holy Spirit is telling you, “You are chosen by Jesus Christ. He has already forgiven you. Do not remember your past sins and hurts. Jesus Christ will satisfy you with a special anointing and blessing filled days.”

3.      You will see God opening new ways for you.

“.....I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen.” – Isaiah 43:20

You have to remember that you worship a Mighty and Loving God who brings waters out of wilderness and desert for His people. 

You might feel like all the doors for your future has been shut and there is no way to move on. You might be facing hurdles in your job place or your family life or your studies. Do not lose hope. Jesus Christ is there for you. He will go before you and remove all the hurdles in your life. He brings out rivers from the desert. Your life might also be like a desert. Jesus Christ is promising you today that the rivers of blessings will flow into your life.

My dear young friends surrender your life to Jesus Christ. He wants to bless you abundantly. Psalm 34:5 says like this: “They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed.” All you have to do is to look to God to receive His blessings.

I heard about a testimony of a young woman who received a blessing from Jesus Christ. She was happily married and her life was going well. But even after some years into marriage life, she had no child. She was so sad that she was not able to conceive a child. Days rolled on. She faced so much of shame among her relatives, there was no goodness in her life and her future seems to be shut in darkness without any blessing.

One day she decided to pour out her heart to Jesus Christ. She prayed very earnestly for a child and Jesus Christ heard her prayer. She could not control her joy when she came to know that she was carrying a child in her womb. Happily she went to a doctor for a check up. They took a scan and told her shocking news. They told her that her child has only one kidney and the child won’t survive. So they advised her to abort that child.

She could not bear her grief. She went to another doctor and he also said the same. Again she went to another doctor but the third doctor also told her the same. Hearing all those words from the doctors she ran to the feet of the Lord and cried terribly.
She came out of her prayer room and told her family people like this: “I belong to God and the child I carry was given by Him. I know my Jesus will never forsake me and He will do a miracle for me.”

Everyone around her including the doctors thought she gone mad. She continued looking to God. Finally the birth day came and the doctors carried the child to the scan room immediately after the birth. They scanned the child and to the surprise they found that the child was well with two kidneys. Even today the child is alive and healthy. As the mother of the child looked to Jesus Christ for help she received a miracle. She was not ashamed at the end; she got goodness from God and Jesus Christ turned her wilderness to rivers of blessing. Jesus Christ will do the same to you.

My dear young friends, you are God’s own people and if you look to Jesus Christ,
                                    You will not be put to shame
                                    You will receive God’s goodness
                                    He will make a way for you in the wilderness and rivers of blessings will flow into your life.

May God be with you in this month and bless you according to His promise in the coming days. God bless you.
