I WILL GIVE YOU THE TREASURES Speaker: Dr. Paul Dhinakaran Gist: God would give us in plenty the hidden treasures, concealed wealth and buried blessings. With this faith, enter this year courageously. "I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places" Isaiah 45:3.
Dear friends, our Lord God is one who breaks the door of brass and breaks the bars of iron. They might have been closed so far. But this year the Lord would go before you, break open the barriers and dig out the treasures that had been hidden so far in your lives. The blessings that had been withheld from you this year so far will be released from this year onwards. He will make you rejoice and celebrate this new year in a new way.
Years ago, the people in Arabia lived as shepherds and they were in poverty stricken condition . One day, one of the shepherds came to the king and reported, "You majesty, something dark is bubbling out of the earth in our region. Our sheep drink this and die. Please save our lives. If we lose our sheep we cannot survive." There was an English man in the palace who taught English to the children of the king. He suggested that it would be better if the king paid a visit to the site facing such a crisis. When the English man went to the place, he recognised the black liquid as petrol. He said to the shepherds, "This is not something that spoils your lives. It is something precious that would enrich you." All the experts were invited. They tested the site and then began to pump out the expensive petrol. Through this the poor shepherds became rich sheiks. This gold like oil was lying under their feet. They never knew it. At the right time, the Lord opened their eyes and they identified the petrol. The people of that region became millionaires and the whole nation became very rich.
The Lord would do likewise for us this year. He would give us in plenty the hidden treasures, concealed wealth and buried blessings. With this faith, enter this year courageously. The God who guides us, makes the crooked places straight, breaks the barriers, throws open brass doors and destroys iron bars He goes before us, clearing all the impediments that had been blocking our path so far.
"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers" (III John 2).
Accordingly our Lord God would bless you and prosper you this new year 2005

My dear Father,
I praise You with all my heart for in You are hidden the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Grant me this day the hidden treasures which You have stored up for those who love You. Prosper my efforts in all the things that I venture, bless me with good health and also prosper my soul this day. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen |
