My precious friend, today’s promise from the Lord is found in Philippians 2:13: “It is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.” What an assurance! God is actively working in every part of your life to bring His blessings into fulfillment. He works in your spirit, your mind, your body, your being, and your family, ensuring that His perfect will is accomplished in every area of your life. You belong to Jesus, and when you are blessed according to God’s divine plan, it brings Him joy. His will is perfected in you, and He takes great pleasure in seeing His purpose unfold in your life.
This promise is reaffirmed in Romans 8:28, which declares, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” Evil may rise, tribulations may come, and trials may challenge you, but you can rest assured that your life is in God’s hands. He will make everything work together for good because your life brings Him pleasure. More than you expect or hope for blessings, God desires to see His good work perfected in you. Trust in Him, dear friend, and praise Him, for He will ensure that everything will work unto good for His glory and your joy.
Let me share with you a powerful testimony of how God’s promise came to life in the family of Mr. Dayalan from Pondicherry. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mr. Dayalan and his wife moved from Chennai to Pondicherry with their two daughters, expecting to return shortly. However, financial troubles struck. He lost his job, and their income became very limited. For three long years, he struggled, selling small bike parts to make ends meet.
But in the midst of their hardship, he remained faithful. He visited the Prayer Tower, seeking prayer and strength from the Lord. During a Partners Meeting, I had the privilege of meeting him and other partners. I laid my hands on him and prayed, declaring, “God will surely bless you, and you will receive a double portion!”
Amazingly, God’s promise began to manifest in their lives. Mr. Dayalan got his old job back, restoring financial stability to his family. They brought a sister suffering from cancer to one of our meetings, and as we prayed for her, Jesus healed her completely! His daughters received blessings in their college studies, excelling in their education. Today, the entire family serves the Lord together, testifying to His goodness and faithfulness. This testimony is a living example of how God makes everything work unto good for His pleasure and purpose.
Dear friend, just as God worked in Mr. Dayalan’s life, He will do the same for you. Whatever challenges you face, know that they are not beyond His power. For His pleasure, for His joy in seeing you blessed, He will turn every situation around for good. Trust Him, hold onto His promises, and walk in faith. The Lord is faithful, and He will perfect His will in your life, bringing blessings and joy beyond measure.
PRAYER:
Loving Heavenly Father, thank You for working in my life to fulfill Your perfect will and good pleasure. I surrender every part of my being - my mind, body, spirit, and family into Your hands. Strengthen my faith to trust You in every trial and tribulation I face. Please help me remember that You are always working things together for my good. Let Your joy overflow in my life as I align with Your divine purpose. Give me the patience to see Your plan unfold in Your perfect timing. Let Your blessings not only meet my needs but bring glory to Your name. Thank You for Your faithfulness and the joy of being Your beloved child. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
