Welcome, my friend. Today is a very special day. It’s the birthday of my beloved mother, Mrs. Evangeline. Apart from her own ministry, she faithfully prays for each of us in the family, covering every detail of our lives in prayer. That’s how our ministry is being built today through her love, intercession, and faith. We thank God for her life. On this meaningful day, the Lord speaks to us through Proverbs 28:25, "A greedy man stirs up strife, but the one who trusts in the Lord will be enriched."

Yes, there will always be greedy people, those who stir up fights, those who try to create trouble. Sometimes it happens simply because you’re doing well in something. Or maybe you are receiving a good name in the family. Perhaps it’s because you are inheriting some great blessing like a property, land, or favour. And just like that, opposition arises. But what does the Word say? "The one who trusts in the Lord will be enriched." Look at Israel. Throughout history, they have been surrounded by enemies. The Amalekites, the Midianites, and the Ammonites constantly rose up to fight against Israel, especially when Israel was prospering or gaining territory.

Even today, we see the same pattern. Groups from Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran try to stir up strife and harm Israel. But what does God do? He gives Israel complete victory. He makes them flourish to greater heights in technology, security, farming, and beyond. Whatever they do, they shine, because God enriches them. Not only that. God even gives the wealth of their enemies into their hands when they are attacked. My friend, it will be the same for you. Don’t fear the strife. Don’t fear the opposition. God will prosper you. God will give you a great name. Trust in the Lord, and you will be enriched.

PRAYER: 
Loving Lord, I place my trust in You. When jealousy rises because of the blessings You've given me, be my defender. Let not greed or opposition shake my peace or steal my joy. Just like You enriched Israel, enrich me, Lord, in every area of my life. Turn every attack into a testimony of Your power and favour. Help me to never fear when opposition comes, for You are with me. Bless me with Your wisdom, divine increase, and a good name among all. Let my victory be a witness to others of Your faithful love. Thank You, Lord, for being my shield, my source, and my reward. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
