My precious friend, Psalm 9:10 says, “Those who know Your name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.” God never forsakes those who seek after Him, and today, you are seeking after Him.
Mary Magdalene sought after Jesus. She went to the tomb, expecting to find Him dead. She was looking for His lifeless body, but that morning, Jesus had risen from the grave by the power of the Holy Spirit. He appeared to her alive, the resurrected Jesus, and said, “Mary, you are seeking Me as a dead person, but here I am, alive and well, resurrected with power.” My friend, you are not seeking a dead Jesus; you are seeking the living Jesus. When you know Him as the living Lord, He will never forsake you. When you seek Him, He will add every blessing to your life. “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” Seek Him with all your heart, and you will find Him. He will draw near to you and bless you as you draw near to Him.
When you seek Him, He will handle every need in your life. “Those who seek Him early shall find Him.” Seek Him first, not as a last resort, after seeking human help, money, or worldly solutions. Seek Him above all else, and He will fulfill all your needs.
Let me share a beautiful testimony. Yathish, a brother from Karnataka, lost his father and faced overwhelming financial struggles after the pandemic. His heart was filled with fear as he worried about marriage, building a house, and moving forward in life. In his despair, he even grew angry at God, rejecting Jesus. But he married a woman named Geetha, and she encouraged the family to join the Family Blessing Plan, and their children were enrolled in the Young Partners Plan. One day, Geetha said, “Let’s go to the Bethesda Prayer Center in Coimbatore.”
The Bethesda Prayer Center is a place of blessing and prayer, surrounded by beautiful mountains near Karunya University. It’s a sanctuary for those seeking God’s presence. Yathish agreed to go, thinking of it as sightseeing. Yet the moment he entered, he felt the presence of God touch him. The prayer intercessors prayed with deep compassion for him and his family, and divine peace filled his spirit, connecting him with God.
When they returned, his life began to change. His salary rose from 30,000 rupees per month to 50,000 rupees, and his wife received a job paying 80,000 rupees. God blessed and increased their resources nearly fourfold. Two years later, they returned to Bethesda for three days of prayer and meditation. God gave them an idea to start a business, which they pursued. Today, their business employs 30 people. God has prospered and made them a blessing.
My friend, God will do it for you too. He will not forsake you. As you trust in Him, you will experience added blessings. He will be close to you, and He will perfect everything in your life as well.
PRAYER:
My living Lord, I seek You with all my heart, for You are alive, powerful, and full of grace. I put my trust in You, knowing You will never forsake me. You are my first refuge, above all worldly help and strength. As I draw near to You, draw near to me, Lord and fill my life with Your added blessings as I seek Your kingdom first. Lord, please handle every need I bring before You today and help me to always seek You, early and earnestly. Thank You for Your faithfulness and unfailing presence. I know that You will perfect all that concerns me, my Lord and King. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
