Hello, my dear friend! The promise verse for today is taken from Joshua 5:9: "Then the Lord said to Joshua, 'Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.' So the place has been called Gilgal to this day.”

The Lord rolled away the reproach of Egypt. This means He pushed it far away. We see this in the resurrection of Jesus, where the stone that closed the tomb was rolled away so that Jesus could resurrect. In the same way, the Lord will remove all the problems from your life today. All your enemies and the people trying to cause you harm will be rolled away from your life. The Lord will also elevate you to great heights.   

Today is a great day at the University of Karunya. On the same date last year, Karunya received A++ accreditation from NAC. This is a very prestigious award for any university, and it is only because of the grace of God that Karunya received this honour. I remember that day very clearly. We prayed fervently for this accreditation to happen, and it was due to the Lord's grace and mercy that Karunya was blessed with this great honour.  

In the Bible, in the book of II Kings, there is an incident where Elisha prayed to God, asking for his servant's eyes to be opened so that he could see the protection surrounding them during a battle. When his servant's eyes were opened, he saw a large army surrounding Elisha. Elisha reassured his servant, proclaiming, "Do not be afraid for those who are with us are more than those who are with them" (II Kings 6:16). In the same way, there are more people with you than there are with your enemy. We may not be able to see it with our eyes, but the Lord is with you like a mighty warrior. He is going to remove all your enemies, including those who backstab you and those who try to bring harm into your life. Just as He rolled away the stone from His tomb, the Lord will roll them away today and bring blessing after blessing into your life. 

The Lord's protection is upon you, my friend. Every time we pray for Karunya, we always feel a great sense of protection throughout the entire university and the campus of Karunya. In the same way, the Lord has His hand of protection upon you and your family. No enemy can touch you, no curse can touch you, and no evil words or harm can touch you. No harm that is planned against you will prosper.

PRAYER: 
Loving Lord, today I thank You for Your hand of protection upon my life. Who am I, Lord, that You have thought of me and protected me? Many have risen up against me, waiting to bring harm into my life. I have been heartbroken by the ones that I loved dearly and trusted because they have backstabbed me and are trying to destroy my life. Yet, I will put my trust in You, Lord, and proclaim Your blessings upon my life. I pray that You will shatter the wicked schemes of the enemy and deliver me. Let Your hand of protection rest upon my life. Let me receive Your blessing after blessing and be raised to great heights. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
