Eternal CovenantSpeaker: Sis. Stella Dhinakaran Gist: Will you surrender your lives at the hands of our faithful God who keeps His covenant and mercy for a thousand generations? He will establish His covenant with you and lead you; He will make your soul prosper. "Nevertheless I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you." (Ezekiel 16:60)
"Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant." (Hebrews 13:20, 21)
God, the Father, has made an everlasting covenant through the blood, shed by Jesus Christ on the cross. The God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, grants this blessing to everyone who has been washed by the blood of Jesus, accepting Jesus as his or her Saviour.
My dear friend, have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Saviour? Do you profess that your sins have been washed by the blood of Jesus, making you holy? If so, God will bless you by this eternal covenant, originated by the blood of Christ.
"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers."
(3 John 2)
Our Loving Father, who has made an eternal covenant with us calls you, today, 'beloved'. He tells you, 'My dear child, you are dear to me!"
When I was a child, my father did not call me, 'Stella' but called me 'stella'ma' in a loving manner. Even today, when some people call me Stella'mma (Mother Stella in Tamil) I recall my father's abiding love for my father call me." But during my prayer-time, God tells me, "It's true that your father loved you; but I, your heavenly Father loved you; but, I your heavenly Father love you more than your earthly father did." How delightful.
My dear friend, are you dissipated by the thought; "I am a forsaken person'. Do not be dismayed; there is your eternal Father who tells you, "Beloved, you are dear to me.' You shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will name... you shall no longer be termed forsaken, nor shall your land any more be termed desolate. (Your soul shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water).. You will 'dwell in safety' (Psalm 4:8).
Will you surrender your lives at the hands of our faithful God who keeps His covenant and mercy for a thousand generations? He will establish His covenant with you and lead you; He will fill you with His holiness and peace. He will make your soul prosper in all things.
Prayer:
Most loving heavenly Father,
I adore You for loving me and calling me as Your beloved child. Thank You for guiding me everyday. Fill me with Your peace and make me holy. Bless me and make my life prosperous. In Jesus' mighty name, I pray.
Amen. |
