"He has brought me to His banqueting place, and His banner over me is love." Song of Solomon 2:4 says so. Yes, my friend, God is going to bring you into His banqueting place! Think of a marriage feast. As the parents celebrate their son or daughter’s wedding, they say, “Give our guests the best!” The best biryani, the finest sweets, something new and delightful for all to enjoy. Sometimes even the cooks proudly say, “We’re preparing a brand-new dish just for this wedding!” Everyone walks away saying, “This was the best wedding, the best feast!” If earthly parents rejoice like this, how much more your Heavenly Father, who delights in you, His bride. You are united with Jesus, one with Him. So He has set His banner of love over you and will bring you to His banqueting place, not to isolate you, not to make you suffer, but to say, “Come, enjoy My love!”

Of course, we must carry the cross and deny ourselves daily. We must say no to the world and the evil connections of this world. We must live a sanctified life, but that’s not suffering; it’s the path to enjoy the banqueting blessings of Jesus. The Bible says, His mercies are new every morning. Every day, as we ask “What’s special today?”, He gives us something fresh. Just like breakfast at home, one day, my wife would say, there's Poori (a “glory day!”); the next day Idli, then Dosa, or Roti. God never feeds you with yesterday’s meal. Why? Because the devil attacks in new ways each day, so God prepares a new banquet of mercy to overcome it. He will strengthen you, lift you, and raise you to greater heights. Do not be afraid. The Lord loves you, and He will give you a banquet.

Even if you're walking through wilderness or dryness, God says, “I will do exceedingly more than you ask. I will open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing you cannot contain!” You’ll laugh with joy, just like Abraham and Sarah, who laughed when God gave them a child in their old age, and named him Isaac, meaning “Laughter.” God will prepare a banquet before your enemies, before those who wronged you, before the devil himself. He will honour you in public. I declare it in Jesus’ name, may this banquet begin in your life right now! I also want to share about Winston James Daniel, a student from Karunya University. His father was an alumnus, and Winston joined for B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence. At Karunya, he grew in faith, was trained to face the real world, and connected deeply with Jesus. God gave him peace, purpose, and a campus job in his final year, a 13.5 lakh per annum offer at Sabre Corporation. He stepped out with God’s light in him. Just as Winston received his banquet from the Lord, may you, too, receive yours because of God's great love for you.

PRAYER: 
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing me into Your banqueting place and setting Your banner of love over me. In the midst of my wilderness and weariness, You prepare a table overflowing with Your new mercies, joy, and abundance. You are not a God who withholds, but a Father who delights in my blessings far beyond what I can ask or imagine. Even when I walk through dry and lonely paths, I believe that You are preparing a feast before me, even in the presence of my enemies. Lord, help me to rest in Your love, rejoice in Your promises, and receive the fullness of Your grace. I surrender myself to Your plan. Let Your banquet of mercy, honour, and laughter begin in my life today. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
