Divine Blessings In All That You DoSpeaker: Dr. Paul Dhinakaran Gist: When God is your partner, whatever endeavour you take upon yourself with the guidance of the Lord, you will reap a reward hundredfold. "Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him" (Genesis 26:12). Though it was a period of famine, wherever the servants of Isaac dug a well, they struck water (Genesis 26:19,32). God blessed everything that he did.
Many years ago, a widow had reared her twelve children and brought them to high positions. There was once a ceremony to felicitate one of her famous children. News reporters who were there asked the elderly lady this question, "Madam, in these days, it is next to impossible to bring up one child to an exalted position; how was it possible for you to do this enviable task in the case of twelve children?" The Mom calmly replied, "When my husband died, I prayed to the Lord, 'Lord, from today I am going to do some work for my children; please help me to accomplish it and prosper all my twelve children. The listening Lord made my every single effort successful and His hand was with the affairs of every one of my children. That is why; all of them have been uplifted today.
"He has made everything beautiful in its time."(Ecclesiastes 3:11)
"The Lord will perfect that which concerns me." (Psalm 138:8)
How literally true are these covenantal promises!
From the time my father met the Lord face to face, every time He converses with him, He unfolds to him each project to be linked to 'Jesus Calls' ministry. He said, "My son, consoling words should be spoken over the Radio to broken-hearted people to comfort them." The sequel was the commencement of the Radio Ministry, by which my father transmitted powerful messages. Countless were the people who were comforted by the Words of Jesus Christ, which they heard through the Radio. The Lord gave an injunction, "Jesus Calls" magazine should be published". Braving many difficult situations, my father began the Magazine ministry. Again thousands of people were blessed through God's messages published in 'Jesus Calls'. Jesus told him, 'You must build a Prayer Tower.' Obeying His order, my father founded the Prayer Tower. Today, people from the far corners of the world contact the Prayer Tower to receive miracles. The same is true with Public meetings and the Television Ministry, Young Partner's Plan to pray for the young ones, Karunya Education Ministry, to equip the young people with job-oriented higher education and instil into them the power and wisdom of God, transforming them into skilful Administrators like Daniel and Joseph, shining stars, and Ambassadors of Christ. My father is fulfilling each and every wish of Christ according to His guidance. That is why, the 'Jesus Calls' Ministry keeps on ever expanding with its multifaceted dimensions like a huge banyan tree shooting out its multifarious branches rooting into the soil. Numerous people from all over the world derive innumerable benefits.
In a like manner, when God is your partner, whatever endeavour you take upon yourself with the guidance of the Lord, you will reap a reward hundredfold.
Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father,
Help me to have faith in Your promises. At the same time, help me to obey Your commandments too. You be my Guide and enable me to reap hundred fold blessings in all I do. In Jesus' matchless name, I pray.
Amen. |
