My dear friend, today we're meditating on Psalm 85:12, which says, “The Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.” Today, are you saying, “My life feels like a total loss. Nothing I have is working for me. I'm a failure at my job. My business is failing. My relationships are falling apart. I don’t have peace in my home. I’m struggling in my studies.” You may feel like, “Whatever I have, whatever I’m doing, it’s not yielding fruit. I’m trying so hard, working hard in my job, working hard in my studies, in my relationships, but still, nothing seems to be bearing fruit.” My friend, God will bless you today. Whatever He has given you is the best. From today, you will begin to see the fruit of your labour.
Let me share the testimony of a dear brother named Bobby. He was working as a teacher in Eluru, and he had a desire to start a business. So, in 2023, he took a bold step of faith; he quit his job and launched his business. But the beginning was tough. The business was not yielding any profit. No success, and soon, his friends started mocking him. They put him down. Even his own family discouraged him, saying, “You're not good enough for anything. You can’t do anything. You’re going behind useless things, wasting your time on this business.” Their words pierced his heart. He felt deep pain, discouragement, and depression. Nothing was working out. He was running out of time, and it felt like he had to shut everything down.
But then something powerful happened. On October 19, 2024, in that broken state, he was scrolling through YouTube and came across a video on the Jesus Calls - Telugu channel. It was a “Today's Blessing” message shared by Dr. Paul Dhinakaran. As Bobby listened and joined in the prayer, something miraculous happened. Suddenly, during the prayer, Dr. Paul called out his name, saying, “Bobby, you are free in Jesus' name. God will bless you.” He was shocked. He had never spoken to Dr. Paul. He had never shared his problems. Yet, God knew. At that moment, Bobby was delivered from all his bondages. He felt peace flood his soul. One by one, all the problems began to disappear. God began to bless his business abundantly. Today, he is seeing 10 times more profit than before. Yes, he was once mocked, once broken, once fruitless. But what God had given him turned out to be for his good. God met him, encouraged him, and blessed the fruit of his labour. His land began to yield its harvest.
My friend, today, maybe everything feels like a failure in your life. You may be asking, “Why am I in this family?” “Why am I in this school?” “Why am I doing this job?” “Why am I doing this business?” But from today, change your heart. Say to the Lord, “Thank You, Lord, for this job You’ve given me. Thank You, Lord, for my husband, my wife, my children. Thank You for my school. Thank You for my business. Whatever You have given me is for my good.” God has given you the best. Start thanking Him every day for what you have, and you will begin to see the harvest. You will see peace and joy in your family. You will see an increase in your job. You will see profits in your business. You will see marks in your studies you’ve never seen before. Once you start thanking God and say, “Lord, You’ve given me what is good,” you will begin to see increase, fruit, and harvest in every area of your life.
PRAYER:
Loving Lord, I come to You in my brokenness, feeling like nothing is working. I’ve laboured hard, yet seen no fruit, but today I choose to trust You. Thank You for all You’ve given me and blessed me with, in my life. Even when I don’t see the harvest, I believe You are working behind the scenes. I fully trust that what You have given me is good and for my blessing. Please fill my heart with Your peace and joy, and let them overflow in my home. Open doors of success and bless the work of my hands. I believe my labour will yield its fruit and harvest in Your perfect time. Thank You, Lord, for turning my lack into abundance. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
