Loving Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. For this month of October let us meditate how God can make us prosper and when God will give us rest in our lives and to obtain this what we are suppose to do now.

2 Chr 14:2 And Asa did good and right in the sight of the LORD his God, …2 Chr 14:7 For he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered.

(The answer is in what King Asa did good and right in the eyes of the LORD, there are thirty things to note.)

2 Chr 14:2 - Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God,

2 Chr 14:6 And he built fortified cities in Judah, since the land was undisturbed,

1. Prov 16:7 When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him.

2. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

3. 1 Cor 14:33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the congregations of the saints,

4. Phil 4:6 & 7, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

And there was no one at war with him during those years, because the LORD had given him rest.

1. Isa 28:12 to whom he said, "This is the resting place, let the weary rest"; and, "This is the place of repose"-- but they would not listen.

2. Mat 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

3. Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

2 Chr 14:7 For he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered.

Dear brothers and sisters, God has a special plan to prosper you in this month as in Jer 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Definitely God will prosper us when we walk in all the way that the LORD your God has commanded as in Deu 5:33 Walk in all the way that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.

We will prosper as we obey God s in Deu 6:24 The LORD commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the LORD our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today.

When we carefully follow the things of God there will be prosperity as in Deu 29:9 Carefully follow the terms of this covenant, so that you may prosper in everything you do.

A righteous will prosper to make the city rejoice as in Prov 11:10 When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices.

Let us see some of those who prospered even in a very difficult situation in the strange land because of God.

May the Lord help each one of us to have a real peace of God and cause us to prosper in our life in spite of difficulties in life. Amen.

God's Promise For October - 2002

Dear brothers and sisters, Loving Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. For this month of October let us meditate how God can make us prosper and when God will give us rest in our lives and to obtain this what we are suppose to do now. 2 Chr 14:2 And Asa did good and right in the sight of the LORD his God, …2 Chr 14:7 For he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered. What we must do to get the Peace of God in our Life? (The answer is in what King Asa did good and right in the eyes of the LORD, there are thirty things to note.) 2 Chr 14:2 - Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God, 2 Chr 14:3 for he removed the altars of the foreign gods. And he removed the high places, And he broke down the sacred pillars And he cut down the wooden images. 2 Chr 14:4 He commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, And He commanded Judah to observe the law And He commanded Judah the commandment. 2 Chr 14:5 He also removed the high places And He also removed the incense altars from all the cities of Judah, and the kingdom was quiet under him. 2 Chr 14:6 And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest; He had no war in those years, because the LORD had given him rest. He made use of that time and made some useful things for the safety of the country as in 2 Chr 14:7 Therefore he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities, And made walls around them, And made towers, And made Gates, And bars, while the land is yet before us, Because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered. Kept prepared for war, while they were at peace as in 2 Chr 14:8 And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand from Judah who carried shields and spears, and from Benjamin two hundred and eighty thousand men who carried shields and drew bows; all these were mighty men of valor. Cried to God and trusted in him during the war time as in 2 Chr 14:11 to 15, “And Asa cried out to the LORD his God, and said, "LORD, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O LORD our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God; do not let man prevail against You!" Put away the abominable Idols away from the Land of Judah and Benjamin as in 2 Chr 15:8 And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had taken in the mountains of Ephraim; He restored the altar of the LORD that was before the vestibule of the LORD. Held a holy convocation as in 2 Chr 15:9 Then he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who dwelt with them from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, for they came over to him in great numbers from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him. 2 Chr 15:10 So they gathered together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. Gave the Lord from all his income as in 2 Chr 15:11 And they offered to the LORD at that time seven hundred bulls and seven thousand sheep from the spoil they had brought. He entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God as in 2 Chr 15:12 Then they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; 2 Chr 15:13 and whoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. Made a promise to God to serve him only as in 2 Chr 15:14 Then they took an oath before the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting and trumpets and rams' horns. Rejoiced with the people when they took a decision for God as in 2 Chr 15:15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and sought Him with all their soul; and He was found by them, and the LORD gave them rest all around. Removed his own mother from her queen ship since she did nor honor God as in 2 Chr 15:16 Also he removed Maachah, the mother of Asa the king, from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of Asherah; and Asa cut down her obscene image, then crushed and burned it by the Brook Kidron. Asa was loyal all his days as in 2 Chr 15:17 But the high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was loyal all his days. 2 Chr 15:18 He also brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated and that he himself had dedicated: silver and gold and utensils. He was a good King so there were no war during his time as in 2 Chr 15:19 And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa. What all the blessings we can get from the Lord? God can give us undisturbed peace (rest) and Prosperity. 2 Chr 14:6 And he built fortified cities in Judah, since the land was undisturbed, 1. Prov 16:7 When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him. 2. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. 3. 1 Cor 14:33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the congregations of the saints, 4. Phil 4:6 & 7, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. And there was no one at war with him during those years, because the LORD had given him rest. 1. Isa 28:12 to whom he said, "This is the resting place, let the weary rest"; and, "This is the place of repose"-- but they would not listen. 2. Mat 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 3. Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 2 Chr 14:7 For he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered. To prosper in life we need the help of God. Dear brothers and sisters, God has a special plan to prosper you in this month as in Jer 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Definitely God will prosper us when we walk in all the way that the LORD your God has commanded as in Deu 5:33 Walk in all the way that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess. We will prosper as we obey God s in Deu 6:24 The LORD commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the LORD our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today. When we carefully follow the things of God there will be prosperity as in Deu 29:9 Carefully follow the terms of this covenant, so that you may prosper in everything you do. A righteous will prosper to make the city rejoice as in Prov 11:10 When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices. And a generous man will prosper as in Prov 11:25 A generous man will prosper. Let us see some of those who prospered even in a very difficult situation in the strange land because of God. Joseph in the strange land as in Gen 39:2 “The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. The King Solomon even in a very young age as a king of the whole Israel as in 1 Chr 29:23 “So Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king in place of his father David. He prospered and all Israel obeyed him. The King Asa prospered by the Lord as in 2 Chr 14:7 "Let us build up these towns," he said to Judah, "and put walls around them, with towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours, because we have sought the LORD our God; we sought him and he has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered. The King Hezekiah did what was good and right and faithful before the LORD as in 2 Chr 31:21 “In everything that he undertook in the service of God's temple and in obedience to the law and the commands, he sought his God and worked wholeheartedly. And so he prospered. Daniel Prospered as in Dan 6:28 “So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian. Ezek 36:11 I will increase the number of men and animals upon you, and they will be fruitful and become numerous. I will settle people on you as in the past and will make you prosper more than before. Then you will know that I am the LORD. Acts 13:17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers; he made the people prosper during their stay in Egypt, with mighty power he led them out of that country, May the Lord help each one of us to have a real peace of God and cause us to prosper in our life in spite of difficulties in life. Amen. With love and prayers for you to prosper in this world. Your Loving Web-site Pastor, Rev. T. Marcus Devasahayam. Baroda Bible Club. May The Lord Bless You Greatly In This month.
