Dearly beloved in Christ,

I greet you in the sweet name of the Lord Jesus Christ!

Once I went to a family who had no children though they were married for years. In prayer, I saw in her stomach balls of the leaves of a particular tree. After prayer, I enquired her about the leaves of that tree which she had eaten. She told me that one sister gave it to her. She had been falsely assured that the Lord would bless her womb if she ate it. She also believed in her words and ate it.

Dear child of God, commit to do everything according to the Word of the Lord. There are several people who are enslaved by false teachings and methods to overcome witchcraft in their trade or business. They resort to certain rituals and practices which enslave them. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord” (Jer. 17:7). “... for I know whom I have believed ...” (2 Tim. 1:12). Let us be careful about this. The Lord will deliver us and bless us. King Solomon confesses, “Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes” (Eccles. 7:29). They add to their woes. Let us know the Lord Jesus Christ who said that He is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6) and be blessed in Him. Even though we walk in the midst of troubles, the Lord who was victorious on the cross for our sake, will do everything for us. Let us commit to walk in His way so as to be blessed with health and comforts.

May the Lord bless you!
