( This Message was preached by Pas. C. Peter Chandran,Ph.D., in the New Grace God’s Church in Saidapet , Chennai -600 015 T.N. On 1 st January 2017 first Sunday of this year 2017)
 

“Every good gift and perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning” (James 1:17).

This is the year of Divine gift. James here says that God’s gift is good and God’s gift is perfect.Because His will for you is good, acceptable and perfect . Each gift comes down from above.It is better to put our hope in the LORD in this year 2017, rather than expecting something from human beings. “We trust in God”. Those who trust in the LORD shall be blessed.

The Word of God says:

“ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven”(John 3:27).

Good things are given to us from heaven. God has given us precious gifts. One of the greatest gifts is the Gift of the Holy Spirit. The greatest gift of all precious gifts is Jesus the Son of God. He loved us and gave His life for us. How can we thank Him! The Holy Bible says:

“ For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

The person who loves another person will express his love by way of giving. God loves the world, that is why He gave His one and only Son Jesus.

The Bible also pictures God’s goodness in terms of Common grace. That is, God provides goodness to believers and unbelievers. God loves everyone.Let us see what goodness of the Lord is:

“ Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons filling out hearts with food and gladness(Acts 14:17).

God always does good to all of you. He gave us:

  • Rain from heaven,
  • Fruitful seasons,
  • Filling our hearts with food and gladness.

God is our good Father. He is almighty God. He is the giver of good gifts. Rain is the blessing of God. Because of rain, it produces good climate, and seasons. He fills our hearts with nice nutricious food and it causes gladness in your mind. God provides abundance of rain, changes seasons and makes us happy. The Apostle Paul says confidently, “ Rejoice in the LORD always Again I say, rejoice!”

Heavenly wisdom has seven characteristics. Heavenly wisdom comes down from above, by having communications with God. The Word of God says: 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy(James 3:17). The Word of God mentions another important gift and Royality or inheritance, that is : “Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD” ( Proverbs 19:14). God gives to all life, breath, and all things. God formed adam from the dust of the earth.He breathed into Adam’s nostrils the breadth of life, and man became a living soul.( Acts 17:25b, Gen.2:7). God is the source of life. Just like a father as a source of life to his son or daughter. A father leaves an inheritance to his beloved children. What are these inheritances? House and riches, and most importantly, the life of God.

Here let me introduce to you a concept from environment: The concept of Sustainable Development.The definition of this concept is: “Sustainable development is the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs”.

Air, Water, Land and Environment are the systems which were created for the benefit of human beings. You can get income from these sources. But you should not spoil these resources so that others will not benefit from these sources of life. For example, If a good and rich father gives his beloved son a gift of $10 Million as his life time gift. When he deposits in a good investment or bank, the son can benefit from the interest the bank provides. But if he spends unwisely from the capital, instead of benefiting from the interests, he wastes all his capital. If he spends wisely, all through his life, he can have a happy and peaceful life and ministry throughout his life. God sustains us through his good and perfect gifts. He is our good Father. The word of God says from Luke 11:13 :”If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? “. Let me explain what GIFT is:

G = Gift of God
I = Invite the Holy Spirit
F = Fullness of Blessing
T = Thank God

LET US STUDY THIS DIVINE BLESSING MESSAGE:

G = Gift of God...Rom.6:23

  • Eternal life...Rom.6:23
  • Living water...John 4:10
  • Salvation...Ephesians 2:8,9

“ For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”(Romans 6:23).

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest anyone should boast”( Ephesians 2:8,9).

“ Jesus answered and said to her,” If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, give me a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water”(John 4:10).

From these words of God, we understand that the gift of God is eternal life. The living water is God's gift of born again experience and become a child of God. Salvation is forgiveness of sins, healing and deliverance. The living water is our New life experience with the Lord Jesus.

I = Invite the Holy Spirit...Acts 1:8

We invite Very Important People (VIP) to our family. You have Jesus in your life and heart, since you have invited him, a very gentle person.The Holy Spirit is that very inportant person. Welcome Holy Spirit! The Word of God propmises: “ But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, and to all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8).

Our Lord Jesus said,” You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you”. When His power (dunamis) comes on you, you become strong physically, spiritually and financially. You become a light in the dark(sinful) world. You shall be a witness to His death and Resurrection just like the Apostles of our Lord Jesus.

Earthly fathers, being evil, they know how to give good gifts to their children ( food, clothing, shelter, education etc.,). How much more your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit. Ask the Heanenly Father, He will give you the Holy Spirit. Invite Him, He will empower you.

The Holy Spirit is a person. He dwells in us. Everyday He is leading us and guiding us in the right paths. Holy Spirit, teach us how to pray and for what to pray, teach us Holy Spirit! To understand God's Word, and its exposition, Please teach me Holy Spirit. ”Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come”(John 16 :13).

F = Fullness of God's Blessings...Gen.49:25,26

Everyone wants to be blessed. Blessing is divine empowermnet to fufill divine agenda. God's blessing is God's empowerment of doing things rightly. Jacob is the third generation in the lineage of Abraham and Isaac. He had 12 sons and one daughter.At his end of life on the earth, He called to him his sons and blessed them by uttering prophetical words: Joseph, his favorite son obtained special blessings. Let us read that wonderful blessings:

“ By the God of your father who will help you, and by the Almighty who will bless you with the blessings of Heaven above, Blessings of the deep that lies beneath, Blessings of the breasts and of the womb. The blessings of your father have excelled the blessings of my ancesters, upto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills. They shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers” ( Genesis 49:25,26).

The Almighty will bless you! What are these special blessings? They are:

  • The blessings of heaven above
  • The blessings of the deep
  • Blessings of the breasts and of the womb
  • The blessings of your father

In this year 2017, they shall be on you. On the head of Pas. C. Peter Chandran, on the crown of the head of me, who is separate from my brothren. Put your name and claim your spiritual blessings. These are are physical, and social and family blessings. And there is yet another higher blessing which is mentioned in Ephesians 1:3:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ”. Read the list of seven spiritual blessings in Ephesians 1:1-14.

T = Thank God ... Psalm 103:1-5

If someone helped you or they gave you something, you thank him or them. For example, I thanked Pastor( Doctor), for my birthday present. I am happy that something good has happened. The Apostle Paul thanked the cornthian believers for their generosity. Above all Paul thanked God for His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.The Word of God declares: “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift” ( 2. Cor.9:15).

Similarly, we see in the Book of Psalms that King David thanked the LORD for His manifold blessings and Divine Provisions: “ Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul and forget not all His benefits. Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's”( Psalm 103:1-5).

The LORD Jesus forgive, heals, redeems,crowns and satisfies you.Therefore my youth is renewed like the eagle's. I will have and enjoy my Best Life. For that, I am always thankful to the LORD.

CONCLUSION:

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

  • G = Gift of God...Rom. 6:23
  • I = Invite the Holy Spirit ... Acts 1:8
