OUR STORY AT THE RESURRECTION

CULMINATION :           OUR STORY AT THE RESURRECTION Mark 16:17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. --------------------------------------------      When Jesus said we can do more greater things than He did, what did He mean? The problem we have with belief is the thinking that certain things are done by specific people. But the question is , how specific are those people? Our thinking is contrary to what Christ thought about us. And He still does. In John 16:33, Jesus said that we shall overcome the world because He overcame. Regardless of the troubles that still may cont...

BLOODY LIFE

CULMINATION:               BLOODY LIFE Matthew 16:21 From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life. --------------------------------------------        There is a way we seem to forget some rule. We tend to forget the trend of life . We tend to forget the way it feels to ride on a road to success. We tend to forget the pain that lies on a road to higher heights.  Jesus being the son of God would make us think that he wouldn't have to be persecuted and wouldn't have had to suffer in that way. Even when he could call angels to strike the opponents, he didn't do so. He knew the rule clearly. He knew the kind of life he was supposed to live. He told these ways of the road to the disciples that he would suffer to death ...

TWILIGHT

CULMINATION :                 TWILIGHT Luke 22:42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. --------------------------------------------        Did Jesus sweat blood or was it that his sweat dropped like blood from a skin? The above verse tells that it was like....like like blood.  Anyways let's continue to search;  In the blueish expanse, they sat on the slope counting time. The Messiah was counting pains. Knowing he should die is something else, but knowing how he would die drives great natural fears. Knowing what is exactly your death becomes another pain to deal with before the real occasion. He wasn't certain about the decision by heaven. Him to suffer... 'really'....he pondered. He shed so...

PECULIAR TREASURE

CULMINATION :           PECULIAR TREASURE 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. --------------------------------------------        If God gave His best to save human beings, then how much better are human beings? If Jesus sacrificed His glorious existence in heaven and came down to die for us - the sinners, then how much treasured are the human beings living on the planet. It is like spending 50,000 to save an object. Could you say the fifty thousand you spent is far better than the object you saved? Obviously not, the object you saved is better than the fifty thousand you spent. It is also like buying things from the supermarket. Can you say that what you are buying is much cheaper than the fifty thousand that you are using to buy the commodity. Obviously not, the commod...

REWARDS

WORKAHAULIC :           REWARDS  1 Corinthians 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. --------------------------------------------      Most people give up when they think there is no pleasure in doing something. The greatest element that drives the brain to work harder is when there is a promise of pleasure afterwards.  Working can be a stone in the shoe. You never complete tasks. Every day presents it's own task list which seems never to end and also seems repetitive. A dream can feel far and too big to tackle. And even after breaking things into small tasks, it all seems hanging without reason. In order to run in such a way as to get the prize, you have to master the ways to run. You must keep running. In most cases, the brain understands best with two elements. The first element is pain. And the brain can do all it can to avoid pain. It ...

EAT YOUR BLESSING

-
Image
WORKAHAULIC :         EAT YOUR BLESSING 2 Thessalonians 3:7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. --------------------------------------------       Every time you enjoy free things you train your brain to want free things.  There is way we like to keep hands folded while seeing work accomplished and things ready. It is like how it feels to wake up early morning only to find all house chores done. We want someone to do the work. We want someone to care and provide. This is how you will see some brethrens who best identify as beggars.  What I have learnt is the habit of begging even when you don't necessarily have to limits the way God provides in your life. It is a way of suppressing your own ability to provi...

COPYCAT

WORKAHAULIC             COPYCAT Hebrews 6:12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. --------------------------------------------       The problem today is that certain systems have trained us to be self centered and that we need to own the results. They have trained our consciousness to think copying is wrong. That is why you see many people want to do their things alone. Build a business alone. It is one of the reasons you see so many informal businesses and too many shops in the same locality selling same things. And they are so much together that one shop is 2 meter wide and some are a meter wide. And no one shares with the other - strategy and how 'we all can rise'. Anyway it is lame that way, we break it trying to straighten the thing. So no big worries if you are there. Straightening your own is obviously possible.  Education system has tra...

OUR SALVATION .

OUR SALVATION . Isaiah 12:2   Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid.The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation .” --------------------------------------------  It is not for nothing that there is weakness found within you. There is a downfall, there is an imperfection. Where we are weak, God is strong. God wouldn't have been God to us if we were strong throughout and that there is no weakness found within us.  The above clearly means that when you feel you are down, it is the point at which God has to work. The wisest of man's wisdom is the foolishness of God. Where man's greatest intelligence ends is where God's foolishness begins. It means when you work your way out and feel you have reached the climax and yet there is still gap, it is the start of God. Many times, we try to step in the space that God is supposed to take. We try to wear the shoes that God is supposed to wear. We try to solve challenges t...

IN-TOUCH

IN-TOUCH   Ephesians 6:18  And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. -------------------------------------------- If you had a friend of yours, and it comes to your attention that you have spent 5 years without seeing them nor hearing from them, yet you know where they stay; would you still be friends? Christ rightly said it; "the things of the earth are a reflection of the things of the spirit". The same way you will lose the friendship just by the detouch, is the same way you could lose the relationship you have with your heavenly father if you are not in-touch.  One very important element that links us to the spiritual bodies in higher realms is prayer. Prayer is a way we communicate to God. It is a way through which we reveal ourselves to Jehovah. The true self that you are is best revealed through speaking to the unseen. As I was walking my own...

POWER THROUGH PATIENCE.

-
  POWER THROUGH PATIENCE.     _Isaiah 40:29-31_ He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. --------------------------------------------    He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. You think which "weak" are they talking about "any weak"...NO. Not any weak. To those who wait patiently and walk with the Lord.  You cannot get the fullness of God's power if you are not a waiter. You need to be patient.  Patience proves a strong personality in you. It proves that you not just mere man but are a person with an element of "god". You cannot be called true child of God if you don't embrace patience. If you pray, be will to be patient through your prayer life. If you love, be w...
