Ashes-Capsule(5)

Psalm 121:5:“The Lord is your keeper,the Lord is your shade by the right hand”

 

Thought1:Keeping things in a perfect order is a difficult task..we try to “keep” our belongings safe..in our homes we put gates,walls,grills to KEEP us and Our belongings safe. Here the Psalmist encourages us by telling..THE LORD IS YOUR KEEPER. He values you.He keeps you…Many a time we find it so difficult to “KEEP” ourselves.The pain in our body,anxious mind,troubled hearts,broken dreams,shattered hopes……..We find it so difficult to keep ourselves.But then through this capsule let me ask you to eat this truth..HE IS YOUR KEEPER…Isaiah says in chapter 26 and verse 3..”THOU WOULD KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE WHOSE MINDS ARE STAYED ON THEE”…

 

Thought2.The second part of this small verse talks about the SHADE God gives us by being at our right hand……The psalmist imagines to be in wilderness,where  he walks in the hot sun..where he looks for some shade to rest under..the journey is long..the way before seems to be so puzzling..!!!Then God inspires His senses..YOU have  shade to rest under and its by your right hand..You just need to open the “UMBRELLA” and rest.Yes the tedious journey in the wilderness demands us to have a shade at our right hand..DOnt look for Temperory trees along the way…don’t expect there trees to travel with you all the way…ALWAYS HAVE THIS ASSURANCE THAT WHEN THESE TREES HAVE THEIR LIMITATIONS IN LOCOMOTION..we have a locomotary shade……by our right hand..You just need to rest under His shelter….

 

Introspection

1)Were there times that you could not “keep” yourselves??

2)Have you looked on to the “temperory trees” that provide shade for sometime and lost sight of the shade by your right hand???

 

Application

1)Stay close to your keeper,so that He can keep YOU properly

2)Rest in His presence…He is your shade so close by your right hand..

Ashes-Experience(2)

1)These days if you look at Malayalam news channels, you get a video footage of a JCB(or bull dozer) demolishing “beautiful” buildings. The resorts in Munnar,streets of cochin,Trivandrum,almost all parts of Kerala, the JCB is in action. The reason is people have constructed huge buildings, resorts in government properties.

They “encroached” the government property and utilized it for their interests. The public was benefited ,but they thought the government wont ask them anything as such.

Now they have landed in losing  huge amount of money in addition to public disgrace.

We too many a time have taken God’s grace for granted, we build institutions and “resorts” in fact many are blessed, but we “encroach” the divine property. We take His name in vain, and we build our own “Resorts”…Remember the day of judgment is near….Lets give what is due to HIM TO HIM…Tithes belong to Him, don’t get slack in this. Glory and honor belongs to HIM alone…Let us not be culprits for “Divine resource encroachments”….

 

Jude 4..For certain men have crept in unnoticed,who long ago were marked for this condemnation,ungoldly men,who TURN the grace of our God into lewdness…

 

2)Most of us look forward to the weekend. I specially look forward as I will drive back home to be with the loved ones at home. When I go home ,I usually stop at a place for having a tea and Banana Fry..Over the days I made it a point that I will go there.My friend also will be there.Last week when I went and sat there, the teashopvaala came and served me the banana fry and tea without me asking Him.See though there was a gap of some days,this man noticed us coming once in a particular time every week…he knew what I needed.

I was imagining,only if we made it possible to go to our Heavenly Father frequently, at a particular time. We needn’t even ask Him, He will start His work of healing,deliverance.But Only if we  go to Him He can do that.Make it a point to got before the throne of grace!!

 

Matthew 6.8:For your heavenly father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him

Ashes-Expereince(1)

God was pleased to give my family a maruti 800 car….and nowadays am using it.My dad asked me to ckeck with the Maruti workshop on whether we need to change the oil and when inspected we found the oil has turned black,and it was starting to solidify.!!This could have done the car a lot of damage if it was not changed..

The guys at the workshop changed the oil and washed the car so well that all dirts which was not removed by the “garden hose” in my house was removed by the professional equipments in the service center.Guys out there know better than me,but the point that I pondered was there should be a thorough inspection of our lives not by us..but by the Master who created us.He knows what to change,how to change and He got the required “equipments” that can make us ready to “run” in the world.Only if We pause in front of Him and hand over our life to Him..and ask Him to have His way..we would be very useful!!He will “renew” a “right Spirit” within us and wash us with HIS BLOOD and cleanse our impurities and dark spots…….!!!

Psalm 139:23-24 Search me, o God ,and know my heart:Try me and know my anxieties;And see if there is any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting

The other day My pastor was here in Trivandrum to visit a patient in the Hospital.It was getting late and I had to drop him in the bus stand for him to board a bus at 8:10 P.M…Time passed by and by God’s grace I dropped him in the bus station at 8.We waited and waited the bus didn’t come.The officials in the bus station said that “THE BUS WILL COME”..though the scheduled time was over.A guy comes running at 9 and asked us “has the bus gone”..We said “NO”..He breathed a sigh of relief and at last the bus turned up five minutes later.The bus was early for the “late entry” but was “late” for early comers like us.

Jesus Christ is coming soon,He wants and waits for latecomers..for them He will be “early”..for us a bit “late”…………….So hold on……

2Peter3.9:The Lord is not slack concerning His promise,as some count slackness,but is longsuffering toward us,not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

capsule-Psalm 103;10

Psalm 103:10

he does not treat us as our sins deserve

or repay us according to our iniquities





Thought1:God’s character is not based on our nature



Here we see an unchanging God who does not treat us as our sins deserve…just imagine,how true is this!!The mankind is filled with evil and sin but also see that God is still letting the earth to “spin in its axis”.The sun is rising and setting…rains come and go..technological advancements.All these are God’s gifts that keep on coming to man.Even seeing ourselves,are we really worthy of all the blessings we enjoy??Our private sins,nagging thoughts,murmuring,grumbling,complaining…YES He does not treat us as our sins deserve,He is also not repaying us according to our iniquities…What an unchanging God we have whose character is not based on our “Sinful” nature.



Thought2:Our nature should change according to His character



The psalmist as he is thinking doesn’t want to remain in this realm,he wants to tread on new heights.as we keep reading the psalm we can get that.Child of God,we have sins we have our iniquities.But also remember that we need to renew our selves daily,as the sun rises we need to get new mercies of Him,ur heart and mind whould be renewed,our thoughts,acts,deeds should get confirmed to Him.Lets walk in the Spirit.

He is a loving God and He doesn’t deserve the “sin” treatment we give Him…lets come with a broken heart,contrite Spirit..to the cross and ask Him for His mercy…



Introspection

1)What are those personal sins in your life that must have grieved Him???



2)Are you willing to let go of these and come closer to HIM???





Application



1)Fight against those sins and iniquities which the Spirit is reminding you of….through prayer ,place it before the cross and ask Jesus to cleanse you with His precious Holy Blood and fill you again with His power



2)Sing those songs which you get reminded of …….songs like “create in me a clean heart”,”change my heart o God”..meaning every word you sing

mountains-capsule

Psalm 97:5

The Mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD,at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Great to hear that you guys are immensely blessed thru these “capsules”..that increases faith and refocuses our life!!

This day I would like to share from the verse shown above……

Thought 1:The Mountains Melt when His Presence is felt

Mountains usually in biblical perspective refers to problems…Thus Jesus said “If by faith you ask this mountain to be cast into the sea it will be done as that”..here the psalmist goes one more step ahead..Mountains??it is nothing when compared to the presence of God..!!We also have several “mountains” in front of us,we just cannot climb those and at those times its necessary to view these”mountains” melt when exposed to the presence of the almighty God!!!yes His presence when experienced in our homes,bodies and families..the “mountains” melt!!And you feel refreshed..the same was experienced by that lady who had a dreadly disease for 12 years

Thought 2:The verse also says that at the Presence of the Lord of the whole earth,the mountains melt!!

The earth belongs to God..Mountains are a part of the “EARTH”…in other words,yes problems and sufferings are a part of our life..they are there..But God is GOD of that too,The LORD of our life which includes problems,sufferings……hallelujah..The Lord of all the earth is the Lord of the mountains too

He is the God of your moods,your emotions,your hurts,your worries..your good times,your bad times..your shallow waters,your dark valleys..

He is GOD..YOUR OWN LORD AND GOD!!!THE GOD AND LORD OF YOUR LIFE!!!

Introspection

----------------------

1)What sort of mountains have you got in your life now??

2)Do you see that as an opportunity to experience God more or you use it as a way to give the devil a foothold??



Application

---------------

1)When is the last time you felt His presence so close??Set apart some time to experience His presence EVERYDAY!!and see your mountains melting before the LORD YOUR GOD

2)If the mountains melt,lets chose to be broken always in His presence!!



Maranatha!!

Ashes Capsule-Tears God's divine steps to walk to you

Ps 61.2:From the end of the earth I will cry to you,when my heart is overwhelmed;lead me to the rock that is Higher than I

Thought 1:Crying to God eases your heart…many a time we get overwhelmed in our heart..We feel a great weight in our heart because of tensions,anxieties and worries..YOUR TEARS ARE A GOD_GIVEN MECHANISM TO EASE YOUR HEART!!when the worries and tensions accumulate in your heart..God who created us didn’t allow His creation to accumulate these..He devised the tear glands to secrete..Hallelujah..And remember He values your Tear drops rather than multitude of words……..!!The Psalmist uunderstood this great truth and said”LORD FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH..in short…..when am lonely..sourrounded by none..WHEN MY HEART GETS OVERWHELMED…I WILL CRY TO YOU(my tear glands and you will store it in your bottle)!!!

Thought 2:When circumstances like this come.We tend to go down..feel so down that we just like being secluded..we just like being not used by anyone..we love to be in the worldly plains causing harm to none,loved by the devil(as you are posing no threat to him)…than being in a higher heavenly realm..Thus Psalmist is telling..I don’t want to go down when my heart is overwhelmed but I want to experience that heights where you would lead me.The psalmist knew that he cant make it on his own,thus he cries for heavenly guidance……lead me to the rock that is higher than I…remember your tear drops are the steps that the maker devised for Him to guide your life

WHEN OVERWHELMED IN YOUR HEART…CRY TO GOD…REMEMBER IT’S THE ROAD TO THE ROCK HIGHER THAN YOU……You can have a grip on it…..its clefts are so secure that you can hide in those……and its unshakeable in shaking times and situations…….A rock higher than yours!!!!!

Introspection:
1)Have you experienced this “overwhelming” of heart??
2)What is your response to those situations?????
3)Have you ever realized that your tears matter to GOD..??In your time of prayer do you take much time in “ordering God” or “crying to HIM”???
4)When is the last time you cried to HIM??

Application

1)Do not restrict your tear glands….God values that most than the multitude of Junk words we use in our prayer

2)Check out Hebrews 5:7 and follow the pattern of Christ in your prayers

Heart-->Head-->Harp

The Anointing of David
1 Samuel 16
Let me share with you some thoughts………………

GOD HAS ALTERNATE OPTIONS

Samuel was disappointed about how the first King of Israel fared.He was so sad.That was the time when God asked Samuel to go to the household of Jesse.The new King was to be anointed there….Let me tell you an important truth..God has appointed us with gifts ,talents and resources.But how do we fare??What to do we do with those??Is God happy with us??
This portion clearly tells that GOD HAS ALTERNATE OPTIONS!!

Jesus said”I tell you that if these should keep silent,the stones will immediately cry out”(mark 19.40) Esther was warned by mordecai”if you remain silent at this time,God will deliver His people from another source,but you and your household will perish”…..Remember GOD HAS ALTERNATE OPTIONS IF YOU FAIL HIM..so take your talents and gifts seriously.Trade it………..MAY GOD USE YOU in the Plan He has for you

FROM THE HEART--- TO THE HEAD-----TO THE HARP

In this portion we read that God anoints a person based on the “inner condition”..
6 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, "Surely the LORD's anointed stands here before the LORD."
7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
The anointing fell on DAVID not because of any other reason,just because He guarded His heart..do you feel dry,do you think that God is impressed by your external…please check up……..do not fool yourself..Guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flows issues of Life…

SO the process that started from David’s heart moved to David’s head when Samuel poured that oil from the horn!!Notice this is the same way God anoints a person..From heavens He sends His Spirit and pours it on the HEAD…O Child of God..is the anointing resting on your head..???I sincerely pray that God will release a mighty outpour on His Spirit on your head seeing your heart!!!

13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power. Samuel then went to Ramah.

The anointing then was reflected in the HARP of David……….many singers were there..but noone was effective when that evil Spirit came on to Saul.Child of God…..David,Joseph,Daniel,Esther,Ruth all were used by God ……….in a tremendous manner………The Lord blessed their skills to deliver KINGS AND KINGDOMS………….

I sincerely pray that The HEART you have and the Head we possess and the Harps we use will reflect the anointing of the almighty…….You got the power……..Claim your flame now in the name of Jesus!!!!!

Please pray with me

Precious Lord,Thanks you for new insights of thy word.I Thank thee for thy children who took time to read thy Holy Word..See our hearts..help us to maintain it pure..use us Lord….let the anointing rest on our heads…hallelujah..so that it will flow to the harps we use……..so that it will deliver individuals,families,Kings and Kingdoms………
We honor thee and bow down before thee.Thank you for being a prayer answering God..I pray specially for those who feel dejected depressed in their life..Let them understand that it’s the time for a deeper anointing….a deeper cleansing ..a deeper
Walk with the precious Lord..many are suffering from evil thoughts in their heads..they feel disturbed and pained in their head…right now father as thy servant I pray for deliverance and outpour of thy sweet spirit onto their heads and all their thought cells……….Be free in Jesus name..our heads should be the place of anointing!!!!!!!!!!where it rests rather than being stronghold of ego,jealousy and pride and harmful thought put in by the evil devil..amen Blessed be thy name!!
We love thee and give thee all praise..for we know our prayers are answered when we ask in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ our Lord!!

Amen and amen

The Power of His blood!!!!!

usually ask God to speak to me on how to move about in a new month…………..forgetting the past failures…..overcoming the Present sins and worries that easily gets “entangled” to us..to have new vigor and commitment in serving Him and each month reminds us that HIS COMING IS GETTING NEARER..AND TIMES WONT BE JUST THE SAME AGAIN…God spoke to me on a simple thought but I was in praises………



Moses had a rod that fell on Mount Horeb that God used to display His immense power….this same rod was used by Moses in front of Pharoah and the evil magicians,After a meanwhile Moses “forgot” about that rod of power,as we usually do.When we face new challenges we forget that God is still the same..and He has given us a rod….God asked Moses to stretch forth the rod and “DIVIDE THE SEA”……O precious child of God,the same God who expressed Himself in Christ asked the disciples as they confronted a storm..”where is your faith”………….where is it..where are its works……The starting days of this month God asks you..”where is your faith”……..Moses’s rod signifies the unshakeable faith we need to have..that we need to use to DIVIDE our problems!!!!Yes a common rod in Moses hand describes the Faith we need to have



Coming to the predecessor of Moses,Joseph was known for His garment..His father jacob had made a “beautiful” garment that made his brothers envious of Him..The garment of Joseph was the attacking point of Pothipher’s wife……….Child of God…..the gament of Joseph signifies the holy life we need to live..WITHOUT SANCTIFICATION NO ONE SHALL SEE GOD……….the song writer asks”are your garments spotless??are they white as snow??”

Is your life exposing the evil selfish nature of the world or is it a consecrated one set apart by the standard of God’s Holy word…Return to Holiness..return to the truth you once believed..let not the evil one touch your garment and spoil your life….Yes I can sense some people reading this are guilty about your life and acts…Return to the Lord…a garment in Joseph’s life signifies the sanctity we need to have



Samson the strong man had something common that enabled Him to do exploits….The hair of Samson essentially signifies the Powerful life we need to have…Samson was not sluggish.he was a man who was known for His power..but later He became powerless..his eyes were destroyed by the devil as He laid his head on the lap of Delilah..Please dear one..dont play with the world…………..O No..please don’t..you will never know when the Spirit goes from you and you soon become one as the world..You are to fly..on wings..rather than to lay and play with the world……….!!!!!!!!!The hair of Samson needlessly points us the importance of DUNAMIS POWER in our life strong to bring down strongholds of the devil……



Elijah had the “cloak” of authority………that later fell on Elisha…….and Elisha had to face the roaring Jordan in the very starting moments of his ministry,,,,,,Christ said “All authority is given unto me.therefore GO………..ye unto all nations”..Go based on the authority you have in CHRIST……….The witnessing life was pointed to us by the cloak of Elijah…………Elisha struck the river Jordan crying ”Where is the God of Elijah??”….When faced with confusions,turmoils……walk with Authority and testify the Lord to others..If we don’t tell about His love…………..its woe unto us……..Child of God..tell about His love..walk in your offices,into broken homes with His peace and authority!!



We as New testament church do not have literally the rod of moses or the garment of Joseph,neither do we literally have the Hair of Samson or the cloak of Elijah..BUT GOD HAS MADE A PROVISION FOR YOU……….Yes He has given that to you…….its nothing else but HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD…hallelujah….as you trust in His blood..you will be possesors of uncommon faith…..uncompromising on the standard of Holiness…recipients of uncommon dunamis power..through His blood and also the our lives will be dedicated for Him by doing our very best in our testifying Life……..trusting in the authority of the blood of the lamb..Forgive me I cant write much more than this !!I rely completely on the blessed Holy Ghost..If I could come and shake you from your seats .i would have done that..but I rely comepletely on The Holy Ghost!!!!!



LIVE EVERY HOUR by His POWER!!!!!!!!!THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB!!!!CLAIM YOUR FLAME NOW…THERE IS VICTORY IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB!!!Halleujah……..Praise the Lord



Father I place my dear brother/sister who took time to meditate with me thy Holy Word,As thy child I pray that he/she will LIVE and not DIE………Will be Full and not dry….by the power of thy precious blood ..In thy precious name I resist all powers of darkness bring physical weaknesses when they sit to pray that causes them to worry over the challenges in their lives………Set thy children free…..Let them praise thy Holy Name……….O GOD let them live this month and henceforth by the faith,holiness,authority,strength everything by the power of thy Blood..Lord we together Lift thy Holy name………….Be with our families,friends..our workplaces…..our testimonial life.SHAKE US O LORD……..Set our hearts on fire………….!!!!!!!We worship the lamb who was slain and by whose blood purchased us for thee…..

Place thy nail pierced hands and bless them……….We take Victory over everything n the name of Jesus trusting in thy Holy Blood……..We dedicate our lives for thy Glory!!!!



We love thee and pray this prayer in the name of thy son and our savior Jesus Christ!!

Amen!!!!!



Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There's power in the blood, power in the blood;
Would you over evil a victory win?
There's wonderful power in the blood.

There is power, power, wonder working power
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb.

GOD who cOmMandS your Provision

The word of the Lord came to Elijah saying..”U go and hide eastward besides the Brook Cherith ,I have commanded the raven to feed you”..In midst of the famine around the locality,there was this raven not so “Goodlooking” but an agent that carried His word.Let me tell you a truth,this crow was fed by the Lord “so much” that it faithfully obeyed the Lord’s service..The Lord is a God who gives to the crying ravens its Food(Ps 147.9)..God who Commanded the raven to supply food to Elijah was the same God who fed the raven in midst of that terrible famine..the guardians you have,the church you belong,the company you work for,the food you eat,the money you get,the clothes you wear,the education you cherish,the family you have…all are existing because of the ALMIGHTY”S Command!!!Give Him praise for His
provision in your life……..amen!!

Elijah also had no “food problem” till the book dried up.Child of God,God who fed Elijah is our God..He commands our provision.Sometimes He dries up our resources..dry finances,dry fields…the resources we have trusted thus far may dry..BUT HIS SUPPLY NEVER DRIES!!!He will never let the one who trusts Him to be DRY…He who made a Brook Cherith for you will open up a zarephath for you…..

God’s eyes that fell on the “not –so good appearing” raven,the eyes that fell on His lonely servant Elijah also fell on that widow who was ready to die with her son after finishing their last meal.O child of God..Ps 146.9 says the same….The Lord watches over the stranger;He relieves the fatherless and the widow;”


Do you see drying and dying circumstances around………

THE ALMIGHTY GOD WHO COMMANDED PROVISION FOR THE RAVEN,for ELIJah and the Widow at Zarephath has seen you………He will COMMAND HIS PROVISION FOR YOU..

1Samuel 7

This morning I was meditating from 1 Samuel 7 and I was taught by the Lord about 4 significant locations mentioned there

1)KIRIATH JEARIM(v1).If we see the background of this chapter we can see the great judgement God sent on the Israelites…On Eli and his household…The ark of the covenant was captured…The Lord inflicted so much on the Philistines that they decided to send the ark back to Israel..they sent it via Beth samesh where 70 people were slain for PEEPING INTO THE ARK…Imagine this….Just for looking into the ark,70 people were slain…Child of God we hear a lot about God of Grace but lets not forget that He is also a God of Judgement..His character is Holiness……WITHOUT SANCTIFICATION NO ONE SHALL SEE GOD.

The people of Kiriath jearim ended the judgement streak of God by placing the ark on a HILL(shows prominence) and they CONSECRATED Eleazar to take care of the ark…They gave the ark of God its great importance,……DO WE GIVE THE PRESENCE OF GOD DUE PROMINENCE??They valued that….

2)MIZPAH(v 5):The second location is Mizpah where we see a great CONFESSION of sins happening.God used Samuel to ask the people of Isarel to throw away unholy devotions….We see that whole Israel had a revival…THIS PLACE TALKS ABOUT OUR PRAYER LIFE!!

Child of God do we have a mizpah in our life??Do we confess our sins and like samuel did INTERECEDE for people….when the enemy heard that the people of God coming together,they gathered themselves and tried to attack the people of God…CONFESSION AND INTERCESSION WILL PUT THE ENEMY INTO CONFUSION!!

When the ENEMY comes to Plunder you…God our GOD will thunder from heaven and we shall destroy the enemy against us…

3)EBEN-EZER(v 12):Samuel put a stone between Mizpan and Shen and named it EBEN-EZER which means THUS FAR THE LORD HAS HELPED US…..Eben-EZER talks necessarily about our THANKSGIVING..How much we owe to God….If we see ourselves none us are really worth of all the blessings God has given us..we are so unworthy..but we don’t thank Him..Its not only the Praise life we have with God..its how we regard one another,…..its how we respect the people and servants of God.EBENEZER…..let spend some time in thanking God…….

4)RAMAH(v 17)….We read that Samuel used to take a circuit a journey acroos all territories of Israel and solve the problems of the people there…but He always used to return to RAMAH where he stayed and there He built an altar……We need to come back to the place where we started….You might be reading this mail from different geographic locations but we need to come back to the STARTING POINT..the foot of the Cross….Rededicating our life and will to the almighty God…..Focussing on Him..seeing His broken body…seeing His precious blood ..o what kind of love is this….lets come back to the starting POINT!!!!


May the Good God bless you for taking time to read His word…lets pray

Father we come back to the starting point..the foot of the cross..did ever such love and sorrow meet or thorns compose so rich a crown….Thou has blessed us father and we are thankful for that..for the guardians we have,for the intellect and jobs you have showered on us because of thy grace..Father remind us to give importance to sanctification,throwing out all that hinders our walk with thee….help us to be serious about Confession and intercession….many blessings of many are dependent on our talking with thee….Father revive us Lord..Forgive our lack of zeal Jesus..we have spoke unwanted things,seen unholy things ,have yielded our bodies to the evil patterns of this world..Forgive us Lord./forgive us….wash us Jesus..wash us….Thank you for thy love ..thank you for thy grace

/..thank you fro thy peace………………………….We love you so much….



For we pray in the precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord



Amen

Fighters And Seekers

Hi all

Let me in fact take you through some of the common verses of the Bible we know very well..buT It has UnCommon Implications!!

These verses contain more power than the strongholds of weaknesses we have ..let me take you these days through some of these

Here we go Psalm 34:10

The Young Lions lack and suffer hunger,but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any Good Thing!!!

*Young Lions have strength to fight..they are fighters..but the Bible says They lack and they suffer hunger

THOUGHT 1:It’s the strong fighters that lack and suffer hunger(WORLDLY GIANTS) but NOT the POOR SEEKERS(Seekers) for they lack No good thing

*We all look for some good to come…eg:When we are sick,we look for the goodness of healing,when we are in poverty we look for the goodness of wealth when we are lonely we look for the goodness of companionship..we see a man similar like that in John 1:46..His name was Nathanael who asked Philip “Can anything good come out of Nazareth”…we all look for good things we are seeking good things that we forget to seek God..but this common verse has a POWERFUL TEACHIN

THOUGHT 2:When we seek God we will lack NO Good thing!!!in other words..Seek God and Not the good things..

As we seek God..we become the storehouses of Good Things…

We will have the goodness of healing in our bodies and people will come for healing to YOU!!When you seek Him..You shall be supplied with all material benefits needed that YOU SHALL FEED OTHERS….You shall not suffer loneliness..but will be a solace to the lonely!!it was not the rich who conquered the world..It was the SEEKERS OF GOD who changed the World!!Seek Him while He will be found…seek Him O Child of God…be a STORE HOUSE OF GOODTHINGS!!

Psalms 63:1..O GOD You are my God;early will I seek You;my soul thirsts for you;my flesh longs for you

Child of God,thus our Lord Jesus Christ said”Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteosness and all these Things shall be added unto you(matthew 6:33)

Unexpected!!!

The unexpected happened in the marriage house at CANA.Mary said it literally to Jesus.."THEY HAVE NO WINE".Its absolutely NO wine.Many a time the unexpected happens when we have the "NO" taking its predominance.NO JOB,NO MONEY,NO PEACE...but when the Lord's presence is there..we can say.."HE IS THERE".

I dont care about these NO'es when "HE IS THERE".Mary asked the people in charge to "DO whatever HE Tells you".YES HE.Mary still points her finger to us telling "not me".."HE"....He can do something new when the UNEXPECTED strikes..The master's eyes fell on those stone jars kept in the frontyard..He did not run to the place I call as KITCHEN..but straight in the front was the miracle..Deliverance and miracle came from the unexpected place when the people there obeyed the voice of the Lord!!!The water turned to sweet wine..we read Jesus manifested His glory..many a time when God does something our lives manifest external fashionable things,wealth power,Job importance..rather than HIS GLORY!!what is it that is manifested from us??Is it His glory or our jobs,money,health,external beauty increasing mechanisms??Its dangerous ..be careful!!!

WHen the israelites came to the waters of marah,they, with all expectations started to drink when the unexpected happened..the waters were bitter,they could not drink it.God showed Moses a piece of wood..He asked him to throw it into the water.The water became sweet.Remember in the same place where you found bitterness God will cause you to drink sweet water.The Lord did not create "that piece of wood" all of a sudden..when people of God face bitter situations remember God has ordained a way of escape and provision also!!We should look up and see the way of escape.

Remember when the unexpected strikes you God will open a way from unexpected place in an unexpected manner..but remember to give HIm glory and honor

You Request..He Commands!

Paul from His dark hours in the prison asked the church to REJOICE in the Lord always...and admonished them to make their REQUESTS KNOWN UNTO GOD!!
Elijah was bold enough to stand before wicked ahab and jezebel to declare their wrongdoings and told them that a great famine is coming...but God COMMANDED the ravens to feed ELIJAH.The ravens obeyed God ,Elijah drank from Brook Cherith.
When Brook Cherith dried,God COMMANDED the widow of Zarephath to feed Him.

Psalmist while pondering on the great protection and privilege a child of God has records in Psalm 91."he shall COMMAND His angels to guard you in all you ways"

In another portion He says"His words runs swiftly,He sends His COMMAND to the earth"

Child of God ,to your feeble weak cry,to that desperate request to the throne of God..Heavens wont keep silent ..GOD WILL COMMAND PROVISION ,PROTECTION,GUIDANCE ,HEALING ,DELIVERANCE for you.
YES You Request and He commands!!!So make your requests known to Him with prayer and supplication with thanksgiving

The Extent He goes...........

Nebuchadnezzar increased the heat 7 times of the furnace tto burn the 3 hebrew slaves who refused to obey the Emperor,who chose to take a stand for the God.Such intense was the heat that the men who carried them to the furnace got burnt.Much more intense was God's care and love that made Him walk along with those lads....as Nebuchadnezzar says"Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods."

Peter along with the disciples had a bad night in the sea,they were getting tired rowing the boat amidst the intense storm that struck them,but more intense was the Love of God that made Jesus walk on the waters to reach them in the fourth watch of the night .

A criminal all His life was condemned by the Romans.The execution was to be done by crucifixtion.Somewhere in the back of His mind He desired goodness,he hungered for that.The intense punishment could have made him feel bitter but more intense was God's love who saw Him.Jesus ,God's own son saw His hunger and chose to die along with him on the cross which resulted in Christ saying"truely i say to you,today you shall be in Paradise with me"

The circumstances may hit you with cruel intensity but the extent God will work for you is unimaginable beyond all thoughts....because of His intense love for you.He wont let you go!!!

Greater is HE and HIS!!!

St Paul from being elated in His heavenly visions was given a "thorn" in His flesh.We quite understnad that it was a physical infirmityHe asked/requested God to take that away from Him....Heavens responded"MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR THEEFOR MY STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN YOUR WEAKNESSES"....
The infirmity was great but greater was God's grace....Rather than looking into our weakness..Lets look at His great Grace.

Christ as He was teaching on the earth and the Bible records

"From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
"You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve.
Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God"...

Peter understood the greatest truth one can perceive...Christ dealt with the most important aspect.."HE HAD WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE"....Peter understood that ETERNAL LIFE WAS MORE IMPROTANT OR DESERVED GREATER SIGNIFICANCE than the wordly life..Thus Christ taught in the beautitudes in

Matthew 6 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well

Perceiving that it was almost time for Him to leave the earth..He said to His disciples I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world
He knew that troubles we have to face was great,but He asseted a truth "MY VICTORY IS GREATER THAN YOUR TROUBLES"
Child of God....His grace,Eternal Life,His Victory is greater than our infirmities,worldy worries and tribulations!!

As 2006 is setting down and we anticipate 2007 Long for a greater understanding of these!!
May His grace,His power and Victory lead us into 2007

BUT THANKS BE TO GOD WHO GIVES US VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST!!

God of Intense Repetitions!!----------------------------

Samuel........The little boy was growing up in the place where the ark of the covenant was.The lights were not "off"..The boy must be in His bed,pondering..when many get the love of their parents...when many are "privileged" WHY in the world am I here??Suddenly came a voice calling Him "Samuel"..he jumped and went to Eli..He sadi he didnt call him.Second time He called Samuel..again the lad went to ELI...Third time it repeated..ELI understood what this meant..He asked Samuel to say"Speak Lord for your servant hears"...

Elijah!!Rise up and eat..He tried so much to reach that wilderness...;-)Many a time hearing the evil voice of "JEZEBEL"who threatens your todays and tomorrows we travel a long way to sleep with discouragement and complainings!!Literally worn off.HE only wanted to die..BUT GOD wudnt leave ..HE sent His angel who said "Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.Twice He did that!!
And the word of the LORD came to him: "What are you doing here, Elijah...Elijah told His heart out without knowing the provision of the Lord...Again the voice came with more intensity..."What are you doing here, Elijah?"..Then God reminded Him of His provision and the great ministry ahead of HIM!!

When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs." Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."
The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you."

COnclusion:God is God who repeats and each time it strikes us with so much intensity...These moments do you hear the gentle voice of God..that calls you so that He can share somethings with you...so that He can give you a new ministry and a vision and a mission.A question that repeatedly asks youDO YOU LOVE ME??
amen!!

Hang on................Its not over!!!

Hang on................Its not over!!!
----------------------------------------
The widow of Zarephath was on her way to prepare her last meal for her and her son..They had a bit
of oil and flour hardlysuffiicient for both of them.There unexpectedly came an uninvited "guest".
He asked her to give Him something to eat..He gave her a promise "For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD gives rain on the land.'
She obeyed Him...We read later' So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family.".

Another widow had a little oil in her house,she was threatened by the enemy to take her Children as slaves if she didnt pay her debt!!!
Now here we see God didnt consume the adversary but gave the Widow that little oil that was enough to pay back her debt and live the "rest of her life"


Jesus saw the five thousand plus gathered there and used the Little the young lad had.
Five loaves and two fish..He took it in His hands..and broke and multiplied that.

The famine was great but when the little was there, they did what was required of them,The widow in zarephath gave that to the man of God!!
The other widow ran to Elisha before the the little oil ran out
The little lad gave what He had to Jesus!!!who in His hands turned it to a blessing

Endnote:We all have needs that are great..The famine will cause our resources to run short,The threatenings of the enmy will cause us to forget the Little Oil we have which is so powerful..
HANG ON!!!Hang On!!!Its not over....as long as you have that "LITTLE" covered by the great promises!!
Yes A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.
In faithfulness he will bring forth justice

Heavens ...it opens!!

Christmas..............thats what December brings along with it every year...Time to be free,relaxed,looking at where we stand..taking new commitments for the new year..The last 31 days are really greatly anticipated..Let me just ask you as one year is going to pass us by..

HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE BLESSED THROUGH YOU??

TO HOW MANY HAVE WE TOLD THE GOOD NEWS??

Have we faithfully done what He expects from us..

Let me not take much of your time..Christ is in us coz Heavens were open to us..allow me to elaborate a bit..

Jacob feared Esau after being blessed by Isaac.Though we are blessed there are many things which we fer of rite??Blessings doesnt take our fear away many a time..but blessings will always lead you to Him..Jacob fearful could not walk a bit more as it became so dark..Fleeing from home in fear..dont know what will happen next..In the place called Luz..he took one stone from there and started sleeping..heavens were opened to Him...Luz turned put to be Bethel!!

Stephen was being "stoned" for speaking the goodnews..Is there anyone out being 'Stoned" by the world for fearlessly being a witness of Christ..Pain was excruciating......but.but..Stephen "Full of the Holy Ghost" looked up and saw the heavens opened!!!The earthly pain didnt prevent the heavens from being opened!!

John,the disciple whom Christ loved the most was exiled to Patmos..All around Him were bones and no one else.. the fellowhip He was missing..he was missing his "children'..a lot.Noone to sing with Him..pray with Him..but..hallejujah..heavens opened..Patmos truned out to be the REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST!!!

To make it short..Fear of man or future...pain from the stoning world..loneliness in an island nothing prevented Heavens being opened..Thats what Happened in that hour also when Christ was born in this world..The sins in the world..the pain He was going to undergoe..The rejection he was gonna get,the betrayal from his close aids..Nothing prevented the Heavens from being opened as someone said"the Love for His children was greater than the pain of the journey!!"

This season its my earnest prayer and I believe this is His will that in midst of all you face..The happiness,sorrows,sickness,loneliness..YOU WILL SEE THE HEAVENS OPENED
Amen...Have a great season of Christmas and a may God give us grace to step into 2007 with so much of grace!!
With love and prayersMaranathaBenjamin,Anita,Anila and Ashley

Tired??have wings;-)

Tired???
Elijah after the single man victory slew the prophets of baal,who spread evil amongst God's people ,ran to the top of Mount Carmel.Its easy sliding down or walking down..its always hard walking up!!!Elijah climbed on the top and placed His head between His feet and started praying,He only got up after He saw his servant reported a small cloud..a small sign..hallelujah...Let me tell a mystery and proceed..never get up from ur time with God unless you perceive a small sign..a small cloud..Down came Elijah.he asked the king to go fast as the rain approached.The Bible is very clear wen we see ELIJAH reached on foot faster than ahab on the chariots~~

Philip was asked by the Lord to go to the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.Purpose to proclaim the goodnews to Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. The talk ended in the baptism of this official..see what happened next"When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away"..the transport of Philip was a greater one than the rich ethiopian...

Christ the image of God..who came down as a man dispersed the crowds after a busy day and went up a mountain to pray...He was not too tired to wait in His Father's feet..See Him walking on the waters coming at the fourth watch of the night to the weary ,torn down disciples..

All these people lived in flesh...but they waited..they were not too tired that they never waited..
The secret was seen by Isaiah when He said30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

The secret is when the world walks on their foot...move in their chariots,the child of God who waits for God..O I cant type this...Who hopes in the Lord..that little boy with polio,that diseased ladywith paralysis,the discouraged soul when they wait on God..they neednt walk..but they will have wings...wings that take you ahead of ahab,wings that take you to the divine service,wings that enable you to walk on water..

THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS LIKE EAGLES they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Do u walk and get tired...Its time to wait and mount up with WINGS!!!God bless you through His word

Its all HiM!!!

Noah was asked to build an ark,the design was God's ,He was the chief architect.The wood prescibed was Gopher ,who all should be inside,the measurements of everything to be used,everything was given by God.The mind was God's,His hand had the resources,Noah had to build.

Moses was asked to build a tabernacle,so that God could dwell amongst His people.The specification was His,God was the chief architect.Moses was not person to build it.Bezelel was given that intelligent Spirit.In Short it was in God's mind,the resources were in God's hand,Moses had to execute.

God wont ask neither will He lead you to go through a path which His mind has not seen nor His hands short of resources.If he asks you to do something...always understand this truth..IT is in His mind and resources are in His Hands!!!

Come to the womb of your mom....He had a design,His hands carefully knit you,those nerve fibres to grow,those tendons to shape you...absolutely everything.No interference from outside...He saw a temple for Him to dwell....You were in God's mind,the resources were His..HE HIMSELF had to work....

Come to the cross..it was in the mind of God....crucifixtion was the cup Jesus saw in the garden of gethsamane...it was in God's mind,He himself did it..


Psalmist saw this understood these and sang
"The earth and its fulness belongs to God"..........
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
How precious to [b] me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

Endnote:Many a time we give a lot of credit to man made structures....we give lot of credit to instruments who carry out God's plan..Have we apreciated the work which He Himself carried out on the Cross??Have we apprecaited and lived according to what He did in your mother's womb??
ITS ALL IN HIS MIND..ITS ALL IN HIS HANDS.........

Stay and Go!!

Christ after He rose again from the dead appered to the disciples for 40 days..He was proving to them that He was alive when He appeared to them when the doors were shut..Let me not proceed from here without telling you that..werent there times when we felt ourselves afraid,shut in...we didnt ask him to come.we acted as if He was dead..BUT HE CAME>>>Whispering PEace...........showing those scars of love,talking to us and we felt our hearts burning...restoring us when we ate of His provision,blessed us and we were filled with joy...ITS JESUS.....WHO IS ALIVE...for you and me..

He specified two things that caught my attention..he asked His disciples not to hurry but tarry.....Stay in Jerusalem,till you are clothed with power from above..feeling void??comfortless?powerless??dont be in hurry....lets stop....stop from our routine...We need to get clothed.If you dont have power..its equivalent to nakedness..We all love being clothed except for some perverts who take shame in their nakedness....We take time to clothe..we wash oursleves..we take time selcting the best cloth...Child of God,its time to get clothed from above...How??WAIT....Be still..dont b in a hurry...wash yourself..wait..He is faithful to clothe us

Then He said"GO...."....after getting clothed we dont stay idle..we go...go into the world...When people see us..they see us with our Clothes put on...The heavenly power displayed in our lives..The grace that is shining on your face..the calmness we have in solving problems..The sanctity by which we conduct ourselves..
Yes...take time..dont be ina hurry.....First experience the risen Christ..Stay where you are till you are clothed..Go into the world.........He is coming soon to take us....

Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountainFree to all,
a healing streamFlows from Calvary’s mountain.
Refrain
In the cross, in the cross,Be my gloryever;
Till my raptured soul shall findRest beyond the river.

Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the bright and morning star
Sheds its beams around me.Refrain

Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadows o’er me.
Refrain

Near the cross I’ll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.Refrain

Unstable life------but Firm shelter!!

Abraham was born in a rich city in a prestigious family...but He wandered after he got the call........Egypt,Moriah...fights,struggles,pain..Life was not quiet.... but was was secure in God's plan

Joseph started well..father's favorite,enemy of brothers..Life went from house,pit,pothiphars house,prison and palace.....Life was not quiet..but He was secure

Moses was born in a dangerous situation when the Pharoah had given orders to kill all hebrew babies.
He was born in a poor hebrew family,spent some tme in Nile river after 3 months..was reared up by Pharoah's daughter..........grew in the palace,fled to Midian..........led the Israelites out..Life was not quiet..in the world but secure in God's plan



David a young lad..........unrecognized in His family....shepherd of His sheep.........Lion,bear,Goliath...
His life was centered in the Forest for some time..then in the palace in front of an evil Spirit...In Philistine under fear..........Life was not quiet but was secure in God's plan


Jesus born in a manger...grew as a carpenter...tempted in the wilderness...rejected by men...Bethlehem,Jordan,Desert,Galilee,Samaria.................Calvary...........Unstable circumstances..but was secure and had victory..

ENDNOTE:Their experiences were different,They lived in different places as time passed..they had different experiences..had fierce battles..but they stood firm..How??
Answer Ps 91:1.........."1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [a]
2 I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
Dwell in His shelter.rest in the shadow of the almighty.......GOD"S PLANS WLL BE FULFILLED

Heavenly Greeting!!!!!!!!

Hail!O favored one........Mary was puzzled by this greeting!!An angel..........she must have heard about angels..but here is onegreeting her.Heavens are so much interested in greeting the chosen ones.and heavens do MEAN IT!!

Fearful Gideon was also greeted by the angel of God.........."O Mighty man of valor..The Lord is with you"...to that person who was afraid to thresh the grain coz of His enemies.heavens addressed him as MIGHTY MAN OF VALOR..

Daniel was so full in awe when he heard the angel telling Him............"for thou art greatly beloved".......

Child of God heavenly salutation is not based on your earthly achievements or situations or based on you past.............Mary was not in the excellent of situations when the angel saidHAIL O Favored one.but heavens knew the power behind that greeting and who MARY was gonna be.Fearful Gideon dint understnad when he was greeted as MIGHTY MAN OF VALOR..but heavnes knew that this fearful man was going to defeat the mighty midianites.

The Backslidden disciples heard the voice of the master greeting them"CHILDREN....................."
He knew that these were the chosen ones who would declare to the ends of the earth abt the Gospel.

How are the heavens greeting YOU>>?>

Nothing could stop em!!

Nothing could stop em!!!!------------------------------------------

In the rough sea..the disciples were perplexed..they must have raised their eyebrows,"why did the master allow us to row like this??"But in the fourth watch of the night,when no one was there to help them,here came the Master.The disciples were puzzled and afraid.Jesus said "fear not,its me"....Child of God reading this......See His presence drawing close to you in midst of the storms you are facing.hear His voice"Fear NOT"Excited Peter said.."If its you,ask me to come to you"...Christ who never rejects anyone said "COME"..The gravitational force of the earth became powerless in front of the HIgher calling.The deep and rough sea and the raging storm could'nt prevent Peter from reaching Christ!!

Zacchaeus the tax collector was short in size.the city branded "sinner"...the chances of Him seeing Christ was less,but deep down the desire was strong.The noblest of all desires.........Christ saw the desire of the Zacchaeus ,as He kept moving........His physical state couldn't stop Him from meeting Christ.God who honors the strong desires

The woman who had an issue of blood for 12 years,all her livelihood was spent on her treatment..The crowds pressed around jesus..The diseases,the loss,neither the crowd coud stop that woman who had strong faith..She was unstoppable in reaching Christ!!

Barthimaeus knew it was His day..he was blind,but noone could stop His loud voice that was crying for mercy...Crowd turned their backs..but Christ stopped..

Raging sea,limitations,losses ,diseases..nothing stopped them They made it to Christ..they were unstoppable.....COZ OF THE STRONGER CALLING,DESIRE,FAITH AMD PRAYER..Do v have a lesson here??

Not By Power Not by Might BuT...........!!!!!!!!!!

In the beginning...........the earth was formless and void.See what is narrated in Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, "Let there be light,"

It was not a great enviroment..circumstances when it is dark..nothing around

but see the act of the Spirit....the Spirit was hovering over the waters and God said..."Let there be light"

Listen..before anywork that God undertakes...The Spirit's activity is decisive..

The Temple was destroyed..the people of Israel were buredened..Things were not happening the way it should be..
But in Zechariah 4:6
So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.

The Lord took Ezekial...round and round the valley filled wth dry bones...He asked..Will these bones live??

"Son of man, can these bones live?" I said, "O Sovereign LORD, you alone know." 4 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath [a] enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.' "

Am telling an important truth to you.............Listen carefully..The circumstance you are in, might not be so good..It must be like the earth which was formless and void..You might be seeing a destruction in your spiritual life..like the rubbles in the temple of Jerusalem..or you might be walking around dry bones...With fear and anxiety..INVITE THE SPIRIT into that area of yours..God will work....

Let those cells in your body be under the work of the Holy Ghost..That ministry devoid of power..ask God to breathe on it..Marriage life..broken relationships..debt..financial burdenEducational difficulty......Ask the Holy Ghost to come over it...Soon you will say"'Not by might nor by power, but by The Spirit
hallelujah
Sing these songs and be drenched under the anointing for the anointing shall break every yoke

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!!!

Relationships(2)-Garden of you heart

GARDEN OF YOUR HEART
------------------------


The relationship that God desires!!!
-----------------------------------
Let me state some important facts that God expects in our relationship with HIM

1)Accept the invitation wholeheartedly
--------------------------------------
The heart matters a lot in our relationships.The relationship spoilt by the devil in the garden of EDEN was reestablished when
CHRIST wholeheartedly died and paid the price on the cross.....God left His heavenly pleasures..came down,became one amongst us..
1)HE Committed NO SIN....(1 Peter 2:22)
2)HE HAD NO SIN... (1John3:5)
3)HE KNEW NO SIN(2 Cor 5:21)

HE ShoweD the BEST WAY OF RESTORING BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS...

*HE humbled,no room for ego...He lowered Himself..

ARE u facing a lost relatioship..in marriage,with parents,between friends..??
The only way to mend that is to HUMBLE...GIve no room for ego.

Christ loved us..and He knocks gently at the door...(rev 3:20).............

OPENING YOUR HEART..to His voice...yes to the one who left everything,gave up everything for you...You accept the invitation.

2)BELIEVE AND CONFESS WHOLE HEARTEDLY
-----------------------------------
Healthy relationships are built upon TRUST...that too from your heart..

That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Beliveing in that all important place and confessing with your mouth...accepting Him..starts this divine relationship....

GIVE HIM YOUR WHOLE HEART..not bits and pieces..Crown Him Lord over every are of your life..SEE THE DIFFERENCE HE MAKES...........WHen this relationship is strong..The earthly relationships will be guided by Him.

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

Intoleranceeeeeeeeeee----------------------

Jesus the Son of God...after His baptism was led into the desert where He fasted and prayed for 40 days..here comes the unexpected guy in the picture.After tremendous time of prayer and fellowship with God we get so excited but always this unexpected one comes to us....at the most unexpected time..See Jesus encountering the prince of the world-Lucifer..

He tells Jesus.."You are hungry.."in other words you lack something...Many a time devil uses this tool to deceive us..He tells see others are eating..but you are hungry..you are in want.Dont let the deceiver deceive you..

Then He asked Christ the son of God to THROW HIMSELF DOWN..The devil likes playingwith your life..DOnt allow the wicked one to dictate or play around with your life.Whenever he draws near telling you to end your LIFE....take victory as Christ did through the word.

Ultimately the Devil wants you to worship Him..to end your divine relationship.The shameless deceiver asked jesus to worship him,in exchange for the world...CHRIST dealt with that without any tolerance...."AWAY FROM ME ..."He said..

We dont need anything in the world if we have HIm..Devil will illusion you,take your focus from God...Deal with Him ruthlessly

Another time when Peter rebuked Christ from His divine mission..Christ dealt with intolerance..He said"Get behind me SATAN"

Child of God..enemy wants to spoil you..He comes to you after the Carmel Fire and even after the 40 day fasting..Discern the voice of the Devil..Deal with him with intolerance..

Are u facing the enemy just say and cast Him out...!!!!!!!May you take victory in Jesus's mighty name

In the name of Jesus(2)
We have the victory,
HallelujahIn the name of jesus(2)Demons will have to flee
When we stand on the name of Jesus
tell me who can stand before
In the mighty name of Jesus
We have the victory

The God of Elijah!!

Elisha was walking with His master too long..he was a viewer of wht miracles Elijah was doing...ALl of us like to be viewers rite??in our xtian life also we just would love to view wats happening around and we get so happy,but Elisha inside had a deep longing...so honest and clear..THE DOUBLE PORTION OF THE SPIRIT THAT RESTED ON ELIJAH!!

Whats your goal regarding your spiritual life???We have been walking too long with Christ ..dont know sincerely or name sake;-)..BUT WATS that goal we have spiritually??Think abt this??

Let me Proceed..
Elijah said...If you see me taken upto heaven you shall have that!!
Elisha moved with elijah weherever he went..Was so faithful and that moment came when elijah was taken up..Elijah went up but down came His cloak!!
Child of God..Jesus Christ ascended to heaven...but down came the HOLYGHOST...
Here was Elisha standing with the Cloak that covered Elijah..The anointed child of God has the same Spirit that covered the Lord Jesus Christ.

Also came his way the overflowing Jordan...Elisha wasnt stuck there..He didnt start a new movement there..HE DIDNT START.."THE CLAOK OF ELIJAH MOVEMENT"..he didnt make the cloak of Elijah an idol!!He took the Cloak and struck Jordan....Crying.."WHERE IS THE GOD OF ELIJAH"..and Jordan parted.

Elisha who has the Cloak will have a Jordan in front of Him... Moses with the rod will have a red sea before Him...David who has the sling and stones will have goliath in front of Him..

Child of God the natural difficulties can only be overcome by the SUPERNATURAL spiritual resources God has given you.

Are you in front of Jordan..Srike it with the Cloak..front of the red sea..stretch forth your rod..in front of Goliath..........Use the sling..Victory is yours...

The God of Elijah is our God....
