His provision Before The neeD!!

Jesus kept on speaking for a quite log time..........

Time was not a barrier when he spoke and walked on this earth...His voice was so powerful that people forgot their tiredness and hunger...This is what it means for the creation to be with theCreator..But how often we do not enjoy the sweetness of His presence..

Our eyes stay glued on the watch..on our body..rather than Him..

Lets move ...Three days this crowd was with Him and Master understood the need for food....Before anyone asked Him..

Child of God..heavenly Father knows what you need when you are with Him before you ask Him....??

What a glorious truth...but let me share with you something deeper.

Without seeing that Boy with 5 loaves and 2 Fish He wont take us with Him..He knows to provide your need where He takes you.
Abraham was asked by God to offer up His only son whom He loved so much Isaac as a burnt offering!!Before Abraham climbed the Mount Moriah there was the Ram brought by God...
Without seeing the Widow of Zarephath,the brook Cherith did not dry for Elijah nor the food brought by the Ravens stopped....
Without seeing Christ on the cross and raising Him up,he didnt chose to plant the Human race on Earth......

What a glorious truth...........Before the need arises He sees the provision for you!!Be happy.......Stay where you are .......He is in control.....Hallelujah

Ur deeper need--------------------

The man was there for 35 long years in the pool of Bethesda.His desire was to jump when the angel stirs the water and get healed.Gradually the need was a SOMEONE who would help him jump.The deeper need was Healing but he was looking for that SOMEONE...

There was a man who was crippled from birth..He gave up on Himself and was asking alms and living outisde the gate called BEAUTIFUL in the Temple...His deeper need was Healing..but this man substituted Deeper need for alms.

Mary and Martha was shocked because jesus didnt turn up...Lazarus was dead and gone...their need was substituted by their reasonming"Lord if u were here ,y brother would have been alive"

Child of God..What is that deeper need you have and the good news is Christ wont substitute anything for that!!!

The man at the pool of bethesda needed a SOMEONE to put him..But Christ came before Him..not for carrying Him and putting Him in the pool but asking Him to" Rise up,take up your bed and WALK".

The man at the temple needed money..but The name of Jesus provided Him healing....A far greater joy that money couldnt give,..Peter Said"Siver and Gold have i none..but What i have I give to you..In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth Rise up and walk"
Jesus didnt console mary and martha by justifying why he was Late..He shouted LAZARUS COME OUT!!!!!!!!

ENdNote:HE knows ur deeper need and wont substitute anything else for that!!!!

It doesnt Matter!!!!!!!!----------when He is there

The boat in which the creator of this world was resting began to toss about..
The storm was too much the wind was against them..........But the Master was in the boat..

The wedding at Cana had many VVIp's..........crowds more than expected turned up..
The wine they had prepared ran short............accusers,critics all were there..
But the one who mattered was there in the HOUSE...He was there........though the Wine was not there..

The House in Bethany.........suddenly was gloomy.Young Lazarus was no more...the loving sisters Mary and Martha had sent word to the Healer "The one whom you love is Sick".........They thought Jesus their closest friend would come and heal them.
No,He didnt turn up..Death was there.........Paid mourners were there......But the one who mattered came...In times of sorrow,unbearable pain when people gave up hope
on them..He was there..The resurrection and life!!!

Child of God....Storms doesnt matter when the one who created them is in the boat..He is strong to pronounce PEACE.........!!The waves and winds will obey HIM.
Shortages in life doesnt matter when the one who provides for you is there..he is jehovah-Jireh who supplies all YOUR NEEDS according To His riches.He will turn water to Wine!!
Your face will never be put to shame.
Death doesnt matter when the one who is the ressurection and life is near you..he will weep with you in your intense sorrow..But also will raise Lazarus from the dead!!

IF GOD IS FOR US WHO CAN BE AGAINST US!!!??

RelatiosHip(5)-Sustaining Relatioships

RELATIONSHIP(5)-Sustaining a Relationship
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Many a time we fail in sustaining a relationship..Have you ever wondered,why murder is happening in the world,why wars??
Why divorces..??why hatred..??People do not sustain the relationship..THE FIRST LOVE IS LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With my limited knowledge let me lean on His grace to impress some thoughts on How to sustain a relationship..
LET ME TELL YOU
1)RESPECT...........To sustain a relationship we need to respect one another..
There is a saying"Give Respect and take Respect"....Our lives should be worthy of respect..
RElationships however "CLOSE" should RESPECT one another and their feelings.
Rom 12:10.Honor one another above yourselves
2)ENCOURAGEMENT........Relationships never should be taeraing down..but it should build one another...
Encouraging one another..Lifting one another always leaves a mark....
3)Love-As i Told perfect love should not only the starting of a relation but it should continue..

4)Adaptability:Its natural that through our relationships,misunderstandings camn happen...circumstances may not be the same always..its our duty to adapt as per the change imposed.
Adaptablity is very important in sustaining a relationship..So i have heard in marriages where the couple telling./.."In better and worse,in richness and poverty,in sickeness and in health" to cherish one another.
Not only in marital life..this can be extended across all possbile relationships.

5)Trust;Trustuing one another is very important....We should have so much confidence in our relationships..Relationships should be based on a determination that will make it work!!
Even God expects the trust of His children so much...When we trust one another we feel so good!!

6)Influence:In sustaining a relationship,the influnce we have amongst this is so vital.I have heard of children who have lost the love of their parents and they dont feel like loving them,because of the negative influence they have had on the children.
In our relationships...is selfishness taking a prime place...Is it our dreams that we want to fulfil..Do we have the heart to look into the lives of others and what is the influence we have on them..If it is negative..lets correct it..Ask the Holy Ghost to fill you
with His power in exerting a postive influence,

7)Openness:Our lives should be transparent...should be also open to change..As we are transparent and ready always for the betterment of anything..our relationships can sustain

8)NO to ego ,No to anything that breaks relationship..SAY NO To the things that harm a best relationship..
THESE points are summarized in the Word"RELATION"...

Above all trust in the almighty God..Let Him be the LORD of our relationships...
When He dictates ..everything absolutely everything will fall in place;-)

"Guard your heart with all diligence,for out of it flows issues of Life"
Father I pray for thy child who took time to read what thou wanted to say to them.Lord be the Lord of our relationships..Rule every aspect of that.
May broken relatioships be mended in Jesus name..Aid us by thy Spirit ..to be like you O Lord..Mould us and make us..
Thank you Lord..
In Jesus name we pray
Amen

Relatioships(4)-Hierarchy

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Relationship heirarchy
-----------------------------------------------------------
Am so glad from many reponses that this study on relatioships is being a blessing and is hitting the enemy's camp...Pray for me too...
Let me come to one important aspect in Relationship...The hierarchy..(The priority we need to have)..
Trust this will also help all of us in our walk with God.

GOD EXPECTS US TO PLACE HIM FIRST IN EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!

IN OUR RELATIONSHIP HIERARACHY HE SHOULD BE THE FIRST!!
-----------------------------------------------------
Abraham was blessed with Isaac.Abraham was so happy..Guess he should have loved issac so much..that in genesis 22..God breaks forth and says..
TAKE YOUR ONLY SON>>>THE ONE WHOM YOU LOVE MOST...and offer him to me as a sacrifcie.
Why did the Lord let this acid test on ABRAHAM..Answer is very simple..God was so interested in knowing whom ABRAHAM loved the most!

Blessings God give us....but do we love the blessings more than the one who blessed us??

God is very interestd in us that he cant bear our attention getng divided...
ISnt it strange that wen we have no job..we pray a lot..and we we get one we forget the one who blessed us
Isnt it strange that wen we lack many things in life..we call on..cr7 to Him..but once things are set right..we cooly nowingly or unknowingly say to our dear God
"God,thank you..bye byeeeeeeee""

Think abt this...if you need to get back to Him..do it...
Matt 6;33
33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,
Mat 10
37"Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

Who is first in your relatioship hierarchy??The time whom you spend with ??The one whom you talk maximum to??To whom you maximum give??
Think abt it,,,

2)The second in our relationship hierarchy should be our PARENTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Exodus 22:12
"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
Eph 6:1
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2"Honor your father and mother"—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3"that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth."[a]
The bible clearly mentions the obedience which we need to have.
Isaac obeyed abraham..Christ displayed supreme obedience as He obeyed the Father evn to die on a cross...
How do we honor our parents??DO we give them importance in decisions we take??
Do we regard them??Check this out...

I thank God for our precious parents who led us thus far..Lets honor them...lets better do that.

All other relatioships should fall under this....Husband-wife,friends..etc..
Check out your relatioship hierarchy...Its revealed by your actions..
BY words we can say I have God...i love Him first..i love my parents etc..WHAT DO YOU DO TO PROVE THAT..

Lets not get too attached to the blessings that we forget the one who blessed us...

If at all you need a reunion with God..Do that now.these moments in the stillness of your heart...take a decision to honor your God and your parents.
May The blessed Lord help u do that

I love You, Lord and I lift my voice
To worship You, O my soul rejoice
Take Joy, my King in what You hear
May it be a sweet sweet sound
In Your ear

Relationships(3)-Foundation

-----------------------------------------------------
FOundation of a relationship
------------------------------------
RElationships......
.wow trust we have learn together various aspects regarding this..Let me come to an important
point..
TRust this discourse will bless all of us..

THE FOUNDATION OF ANY RELATIOSHIP IS LOVE
--------------------------------------------
Many of us start relationships based on FEELINGS or EMOTIONs.Sudden feeling..

When feelings or emotions become the foundation of our relationships..IT WONT LAST;-)

RELATIONSHIPS BASED ON LOVE WILL LAST-----------------!@$

The Bible is a book of the best love story!!
Man sinned..He said in His actions he didnt want God..BUT GOD loved the world You and me While we were unlovable..

Thats love...When everything is good and lovely..we say we "love" a person(Attractivity) ..Thats not love..thats emotion..
Do we get attracted to a person who is ugly...wanted by no one...??i see many eyebrows raised;-)
When we think of them …when we do something even for them.THATS LOVE...The highest form f love..
Thats what heavens did..Christ loved us and gave His life..while we were ugly..THATS LOVE!!!!

Let me go thru 1 corinthians chapter 13..
There are several characteristics of LOVE mentioned here
LOVE IS PATIENT....
Patience we wait on our friend..we wont give up on one another,,
God is so patient to wait for His creation to belive Him , to start a relationship with Him..ELSE WE ALL WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSUMED BY NOW..
Wow that is love...God is so patient with us because HE IS LOVE

lOVE IS KIND...The acts we do..to help one another..IT i so kind...God diplayed His kindness to us...Are we kind to one another in our relationships??

LOVE DOES NOT ENVY..No envy...it never thinks bad abt others...If we love one another we wont envy others as they become blessed...

LOVE DOES NOT BOAST....O God..if we do some good to anyone we love to tell it with a loud speaker..

I DID THIS TO HIM...Love doesnt boast...
LOVE IS NOT PROUD..A proud person cant love,...Humbleness always generates love

LOVE IS NOT RUDE---It does not beahve in an unsocial manner...VIOLENCE we see evrywhere..killing and figthing..No bodies can stop the wars and the rude nature of man..except God's love.

LOVE IS not self-seeking---We expect many thing from our relationships..Relationship based on LOVE DOES NOT EXPECT ANYTHING...hard to digest rite???LOVE GIVES,GIVE S and GIVES...
Never expects/...CHRIST GAVE HIMSELF FOR US>>He didnt sign a contract with mankind and die on that cross...He didn’t
THATS love!!
LOVE IS NOT EASILY ANGERED--we live in world that makes us angry so easily..its very easy to get provoked..a person filled with love IS NOT ANGERED easily..
LOVE KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS..Search our hearts..we have many hurts caused by relationships..BUT LOVE ERASES ALL THAT..Perfect love covers the multitude of Sins

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth---It rejoices with Truth..it cant bear evil...tpo make it in common terms..we see a media that GLORIFIES VIOLENCE and EVIL>.LOVE DOESNT DELIGHT IN EVIL….these days “love” rejoices in premarital sex which is EVIL..it rejoices in UNHOLY relatioships which is EVIL…compromises on the vital spiritual values that can cost eternity…

LOVE ALWAYS PROTECTS...Gods proetction in our lives match no comparison..we also need to protect one another
LOVE ALWAYS TRUSTS...Trust is the backbone of every relationship based on love...
Trusting one another..not believing in circumstances and gossips....

LOVE ALWAYS HOPES...It is not weary..love always hopes
LOVE ALWAYS PERSEVERES...

LOVE NEVER FAILS......Wow...so beautiful..it never fails...Gods love for you it never fails..

Even in the church of the living God we find so many Hi talented people..Great men and women of God who are gifted by prophecy and tongues..
ITS SO RARE SO SO RARE to find people of God with this Gift called LOVE>...

What can we do??so clear...you can make a difference if you become a carrier of divine love..You can set an example in your relationships based on love...in this fragile world of relationships

The Holy Ghost can aid you

Rom 5:5
because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.


May the blessed Lord fill you with His love as you read this...Let me stop..Let the Holy Ghost continue to work...

May our relationships be based on LOVE AND NOT ON feelings!!!

Reltaionships(1)-Garden of Eden

GARDEN OF EDEN
1)God--the originator of relationships
---------------------------------------
In the garden of Eden..God created ADAM in His own image..God saw that the MAN was good..The purpose of God creating Adam was to see Himself in ADAM...Our image casts out on who we are..GOD THE FATHER,GOD-THE SON and GOD the Holy Ghost created BODY,SOUL and SPIRIT in Man.

.Now listen.. the triune God together..there is such exchange of love.They delight so much in their fellowship..SUCH EXPLOSION OF LOVE!!

When God created man He wanted man to be storehouse of that love...

He expected man to have that love..God cherished always the fellowship He has with man..and OF ALL THE THINGS YOU GIVE GOD NOTHING COMPARES TO THE JOY HE HAS WHEN YOU GO TO HIM WITH ALL HIS LOVE IN YOUR HEART AND CONVERSE....GOD CREATED MAN FOR A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM...
Gen 1
"Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [b] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;



He understood that MAN was lonely...

18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."

19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.
But for Adam [h] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs [i] and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib [j] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

23 The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman, [k] '
for she was taken out of man."

24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

The man whom God created felt the vaccum..for a deeper relationship and there God comes as a help..O GOD KNOWS YOUR DEEPER LONGING!!He the one who created you knows what you need and whom you need!!!

God worked when man was sleeping..;-)

... the Bible is a book of relationships!!!

Some conclusions from the Garden of Eden
-----------------------------------------
1)God is the one who establishes relationships...He created Adam..He brought Eve to Him.

2)Devil wants to spoil relationships...HE DESPERATELY WANTS YOU TO LOSE THE RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE WITH GOD
He came by questioning God..questioning His word...Has the Lord told you??Why did the Lord tell you...??In the modern world also its like that.....NEVER LET ANYONE QUESTION YOUR GOD OR THE WORDS HE HAS SPOKEN...

3)ADAM took heed to EVE....that He forgot the WORD OF GOD..in a split of second he disobeyed God...It eventually spoilt His relationship with God.RElationships established by God spoil when we forget His word.

4)NEVER LET THE HUMAN RELATIONSHIP DICTATE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD..BUT LET THE DIVINE RELATIONSHIP DICTATE YOUR HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS.

I am leaning on His grace to continue again....I pray that his word will be a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.

THINK FOR A MINUTE...What is the state of your relatioship with God??
What all do you do to maintain the intimacy of that relatioship.??
WHich relationship do you give most importance to..??

The Lord loves you so much..would you draw close to Him...

Draw me close to You
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear You say that I'm Your friend

You are my desire
No one else will do
'Cause nothing else could ever take Your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to You



You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know You are near
