GOD OF ALL COMFORT
Dear
children of God, today we need comforts from every side of our life. But we
live in sorrow without any comforts from every side. The world looks for a
comforter to comfort in the sorrowful and critical situations. Mankind wants to
come out from mourning, weeping and wailing. No one has to comfort them in the
sorrow and mourn and no one has to help them to come out from their mourning
and distress conditions. When we lose our dear ones and loved ones, then we
look for someone to comfort us in those situations. Sometime we left behind
without any comforts. Today friends I like to introduce a God of all comforts,
who came down from heaven to become a man to understand their sorrows, mourning
to give comfort and peace. He is the man of sorrow and he was despised and
rejected by men and acquainted with grief. Surely he has borne our grief
and carried our sorrows. He is our Lord Jesus Christ. He says that
blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comfort. Mourning means the
expression of deep sorrow. Jesus came down to bear our grief and sorrows and
carried away on the cross to give us comfort and peace
COMFORTS
IN DISTRESS:- David had cried unto the Lord
and said, the snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on
me; I suffered distress and anguish. The cords of encompassed me; the torrents
of destruction assailed me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I
called upon the Lord; to my God I cried for help. From his
temple he heard my cry, and my voice to him reached his ears. His rod and his
staff, they comfort me. When I thought, my foot slips, your steadfast love, O
Lord, help me. When my cares of my heart are many, your comforts cheer my soul.
Dear friends do not afraid, let not your heart be troubled, though you walk in
the midst of trouble, God of all comforts will preserve your life. Again King
David cried and said, Lord, my enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my
life to the ground; he has made to sit in darkness like those long dead.
Therefore my spirit faints within me; my heart within me is appalled. God of
all comfort led him on good ground without stumbling. God of all comforts
comforted David in his distress and trouble and helped him to increase day by
day in the midst of his enemies. Today the same god of comforts is ready to
comfort you to rise up from the distress, shame and trouble in the midst of
your enemies. When Joseph came to the prisoners [baker and cup bearer] in the
morning, he saw that they were troubled and distressed. Joseph as a comforter
asked them, why are your faces downcast with distressed today? We have had dreams, and there is no one to
interpret them. Joseph has introduced a God who comforts them in distressed and
troubled. God of all comforts revealed their dreams to comfort them in their
distress and trouble. Dear friends, today we have a God who is able to comfort
you in your distress and trouble.
COMFORT
IN MOURNING:- our God is a God of all
comforts in our mourning situation. Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his
disciples and a great crowd went with him. As he drew near
the gate of the town, behold a young man who had died was being carried out,
the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from
the town was with her. She was already distressed, because she was a widow, now
only hope of her only son was dead, and she became comfortless. No one was
able to comfort her. She was weeping and wailing behind the bier. When
the God of all comforts: Jesus saw her and her comfortless, distressed
condition. The comforter Jesus said to her, “Do not weep”. Then he came up and
moved with compassion, touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And Jesus
said, “young man” I say to you, arises. And the dead man sat up and began to
speak, and Jesus gave him to her. Fear seized them all, and they glorified God,
saying, a great prophet has arisen among us! And God has visited his people.
Dear brothers and sisters, our God of all comforts has visited us to give
comforts to wipe away our tears and mourning. Isaiah the prophet came to King
Hezekiah, “thus says the Lord: set your house in order, for you shall die, you
shall not recover”. Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the
Lord, God of all comforts, and said, please, O Lord, remember how I have walked
before you in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and have done what is good
in your sight. And he wept bitterly and said like a swallow, or a crane I
chirp; I moan like a dove. God of all
comforts saw his mourning said comfortable words, I have heard your prayer; I
have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life. He was
healed and restored from his sickness, on the third day he went to the house
God to give thanks. Dear brothers and sisters, because of your sickness your
doctors may have discouraged you by saying settle yourself and house, you shall
die. But today a God all comforts says that I have seen your moan, your tears.
I will heal you, this is the comforting words. So do not worry.
Beloved
brothers and sisters, blessed are the God and the father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the father of mercies and God of all comforts, who comforts
us in all our afflictions and sufferings. So that, we may able to comfort those
who are in any affliction; with the comfort with which we ourselves are
comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through
Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. If you are afflicted, it is for your
comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which
you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer.
Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings,
you will also share in our comfort. Paul experienced in Asia, affliction that
they were utterly burdened beyond their strength that they despaired of life
itself. They had received the sentence of death. But that was to make them rely
not on themselves but on God who raises the dead. He delivered them from such a
deadly peril, and he will deliver them.
Dear
beloved ones, the God of all comforts, declare that comfort, comfort my people,
speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended. Today
your warfare of distress is ended. Today your warfare of mourning is ended.
Today your warfare of sickness is ended. Today your warfare of affliction and
suffering is ended. Today your sorrow is turned into joy. He gives power to the
faint, and to him who has no might he increases
strength. God of all comforts says that your days of mourning shall be ended;
so rejoice in the Lord. Jesus said that I will not leave you as orphans or
comfortless; my father will send in my name the comforter [Holy Spirit]. When a
woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because the hour has come, but when she
has delivered a baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for the joy that
human being has been born into the world. Your heart will rejoice, and no one
will take your joy from you. If you are comforted by the God of all comforts,
kindly share with others and send a word to my email ID. revsjc@gmail.com, revsjc12@hotmail.com, johnchelliah857@yahoo.com.
