Topic: Jehova Jireh - The Lord Provides. Amen!

Gen. 22:14..

Whether we believe or not the Word of God refreshes us, Restrengthens us and Reignites us to life and light in times of obscurity. When we are groping in times of uncertainty He shows us through the Word that He will never fail us. How we grope for the light switch in darkness we can grope for the Word of God which provides our pressing needs..

Does the Lord really provides us? Why then there is lack? Why then there is no good job for me which I'd been praying? Why then I'd been waiting for soo long for my marriage? If the Lord provides, Why then I face financial crunch? These are few questions which often prayed for and waiting for answers by many..

Who used this Word Jehovah Jireh? Under what circumstances it was used? 🤔

Pl read 📚 and meditate Gen. 22: 6 to 14.

We know as per the command of the Lord Abraham set forth towards the land of Moriah to offer his only son, Isaac.

As they were about to climb the mountain, we see Isaac enquiring with his father Abraham asking so politely "My fathe! where is the lamb for the burnt offering?"

Abraham replies too politely with his son saying, "My son, the Lord will provide Hinself a lamb for the burnt offering."

Unlike today's generation son did not riducle dad for his illogical reply. Its beyond my comprehension how Abraham an old person could lay Isaac on the altar? Can we imagine how Isaac responded? One thing is evident. He voluntarily obeyed his father. That's the reverence and obedience is the need of present generation.

Well, as Abraham was about to slay Isaac an angel of the Lord appears to Abraham saying not to slay his son and provides a ram to sacrifice in place of Isaac.

And Abraham named that place as Jehovah-Jireh meaning "God will provide."

Jireh is a masculine name in the Hebrew origin. Even to this day that mount of the Lord at Moriah where Abraham did this act of obedience can be seen.

See when we go through this passage many questions and mysteries unravel?

Did Abraham tell Sarah that he is taking Isaac for sacrifice? To my understanding of the background of Sarah, the Hagar's episode I'm sure Abraham has not revealed to Sarah.

What I understand is Abraham was ready to sacrifice and he acted and obeyed in action. Because of Abraham's obedience God fulfilled the need at that scenario. A lamb in place of Isaac was provided.

And he called the place Jehovah Jireh.

The lesson I learnt and we all can Learn is, it costed Abraham his only son. We need to take such costly decisions to obey the Lord. And then whatever may be my need or your need he will provide.

Lord, thank for teaching us thy Word not only refreshes us, comforts us and strengthens us, but provides us when we take decisions of obedience during testing times.....

Topic: Procrastination Is Like A Credit Card. Do It Now (DIN) Is The Most Powerful Formula For Success And Happiness.

Do it Now. Sometimes 'later' becomes 'never'.

"The future depends on what you do today." Mahatma Gandhi.

"Your future is credited by what you do today and now, not tomorrow. "

"Laziness travels so slowly poverty soon overtakes him.

Prov. 10: 4 & 5

Millions of people all over the globe have great plans laid out on paper, but they don't begin. Years pass by but nothing happens.

How we spend our time on day to day basis reveals a lot about ourselves.

With confidence begin first before we keep talking.

We need to know that "doubt increases With inaction; growth comes from progress; so for all reasons, BEGIN.

"Procrastination Is like a credit card; it's lot of fun until you realise the danger which is beyond reach."

"It's like a the grave in which opportunity is buried."

Jeremiah had every excuse ready when God called Him to be a prophet instead of taking the initiative.

Moses gave several excuses to God before he took the challenge to lead Israelites to promised land.

Help us Lord to do thy work entrusted to us and to do it Now and not to delay..

Help us to be cautious of the time and redeem the time without losing out any good thing in life.

Topic: Friendship Day! Who Is Our Greatest Friend?

Happy 😊 And sweet friendship day to all! Sweet because true friends are like sweetners adding spice to our lives. True friends brightens our days with kind, warm and encouraging words, actions, gestures and smiles. These friends hold our hands tight when things are tough and bring us the courage we need to carry on when things are rough. These true friends stand 🧍‍♂️ with you in the tough and dark times and come out as light in the darkness.

They refresh you and bless you.

A true friend inspires us to seek God, and they see that you rise and flourish..

Someone last year enquired with me as why peopke call as 'true friends'? Are there true, bad and fake friends too?

The answer is 100% yes. There are true genuine friends as well as bad and toxic friends. We need to seek God's wisdom to chose.

If your association is with bad or worldly friends, they will lead you down in life and dent your character too in bad things. There is a saying, "Bad company corrupts good character."

There are toxic friends too we must be aware. They are never helpful but take take take from you and leave you once you are down and dry. They only catch people from whom they get help and leave them once they are òdown and work is over. And they also ensure and make efforts to cause your downfall secretly and envy your rise. We need to identify and be careful and wise with such toxic people who come as friends.

But I would say with all smiles 😃 there is no truer friend than Jesus. He is the one who knows even our thoughts, our heart, our success....

He also knows our failures, our weaknesses, our shortcomings, our falls, our disappointments our dejection and even times of our obscurity.

Unlike the friendship in this world Jesus our greatest friend will never leave us when people leave us, He will never leave us when we face failures and anandoned. But He will be with us and guide us to safety, progress and encouragement.

C S. Lewis said, "As followers of Christ, our friendships are founded in Christ." Jesus said in *John 15: 14:*

*Ye are my friends, if Ye do whatsoever I command you.*

Let us understand! Only when you give give give you are a friend and not take take take and hold back without giving especially when you can and it's in your capacity.

In history, Is there any friend on this earth who gave his or her life for someone? No one except Jesus Christ. He gave His best, He lay down His life and become our friend and Saviour.

Familiar Song, "What a friend we have in Jesus, all our things and griefs to bear, wat a privilege to carry, everything to Lord in prayer.

Ty Lord for being with us and loving us as a friend, knowing our shortcomings and failures.... Thou as a friend become not only our help in times of need but also may you be our shied, refuge and fortress....

Topic: Trust: Our Trust In The Lord Dispels Darkness And All Fears.

Every christian's privilege is to enjoy unbroken assurance while living close to Christ. God wants us to trust Him fully just as fully in the shadow as in the sunshine. For the Word says in Prov. 3: 5 & 6. .... Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thy own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy path. The point here we need to understand that when we are close to Christ our trust level increases and brightens in the darkness. There is Grace enough in Christ to give light and joy in the darkest experience provided we do not drift away from the Master.

Yet, it is just as true that many of God's noblest saints , in all ages had seasons of depression when they lost the joy of salvation. And could not speak triumphantly of their hope. It is true also that there have been devoted followers of Christ who never in their life could get farther than to hope they were Christ's disciples. Is this the best the love of God and grace of Christ can do for those who are saved?

"Every difficulty we face in every waiting place we have been given a chance to trust in the things unseen and to be abundantly blessed." Cherry Hill.

Its only when we are closer to the Lord we can face adversities of life and have the blessings of assurance to run our life smoothly to the shore.

Help us dear Lord to trust in the things unseen and know that thou art there holding us from a fall....

Topic: Two Major Decisions Of Naomi. Ungodly/Worldy Decision And Godly Decision.

Life is full of decisions. Day to day decisions and major decisions.

Pls read prayerfully Ruth 1 1 to 6 verses. KJV so that you can understand today's devotion easily.

We will discuss today 1st major decision taken by both Naomi and her husband, Elimelech.

We see here Naomi and Elimelech were living as citizens in a very rich and blessed nation and place, called Bethlehem. Bethlehem means "House of Bread."

Elimelech, Hebrew name, means "My God is King" A very proud and blessed name indeed. Naomi means, Pleasant.They had two sons.

As long as they lived in Bethlehem the very name Naomi, she indeed has been living a joyful and pleasant life. And Elimelech experiencing God as His king by obeying the commands of king.

But we ought to understand life now or 2000 years back, either rich nation or poor nation, blessed nation or a cursed nation or poverty stricken nation, all have their own share of challenges, sometimes Victories, defeats, joy, sorrow, anguish, grief, promotions and demotions.

Though they had famine in Bethlehem but still it's a blessed and divine place of Israelites. And the period of dryness will not last long. And grace of God will prevail over the place sooner...

But, they took a wrong decision to sojourn to Moab, to enjoy immediate pleasures, knowing it's a cursed nation. The very name Moab means, "Destruction."

If we read carefully they decided to sojourn means, decided to stay there for a certain period only, but looked like they stayed for much longer time, till disaster struck them. Naomi's husband died.

When we decide to sin one time, it repeats and later we stay in that sin.

When we are in sin, we don't know what we are doing. This is what happened. Naomi makes a 2nd mistake. She marries her two sons to heathens, the Moabites.

Then we see both the sons died. Pleasant Naomi tasted grief, sorrow and anguish. She was no more pleasant but struck with bitterness and grief.

The decisions we chose to take on daily basis, and the major decisions we take are very important. If ungodly decisions or wrong decisions are taken, they not only ruin an individual but the entire family, an entire Organisation, or ministry or an entire church. They all must be taken unitedly in a godly and Christ Centred manner.

Whether we take personal decision, or a family decision or a ministerial decision, we ought to carefully, prayerfully and unitedly take decisions lest we tread on Moab and be destroyed.

Tomorrow we will see what happens to Naomi when she took her 2nd major decision of her life.

Every decision we take will either make us or break us. Every decision we take will either bring blessings or destruction. So Lord, help us to take godly decisions which bring joy peace and divine blessings....

Topic: Decision Making: It Can Either Make Our Life Or Wreck Our Life. It Can Either Lead Us To Blessed Prosperous Life Or Destruction And Ruin.

Cheer up dear beloved this morning! We have hope and assured joyful life in His divine Word. It says in Ps. 37: 4. Delight in the law of the Lord and He will fulfill the desires of your heart.

We have seen last two days, how two major decisions in the life of Naomi made a negative and positive impact in her life, and in her family and generation.

The 2nd decision to Realise, to Repent And To Return back to the God's destined destination, Bethlehem turned her life from bitterness to sweetness and from further destruction to complete restoration.

We often hear these words of "Restoration, Breakthroughs And Progress" nowadays and nothing happens to God's children for months and years, be it financial, job, marriage, relationship, or planning to go abroad. It bloats or stirs only our emotions but in reality it doesn't happen. *only when we work hard and turn away from wicked thoughts and deeds and lean on God's counsel and Will it will be a turnaround for complete restoration..*

Her name Mara which means, 'bitterness', Naomi tasted in Moab and finally restored back to 'pleasant' befitting her name.

So, only when we Realise our mistakes and move out to take godly decisions which obviously will be daunting and challenging like Naomi who made a turn around to follow the God of Salvation, we then will be restored with true prosperity joy, blessings and happiness.

It is said that every human being faces hundreds 💯 s of small decisions every day. And every time we come to take decisions we need to check and see from God's lens and ascertain, "Is it God's will? Am I doing it to bring God glory by this decision?" Rather than making decisions based on our own judgement.

When we delight in the Lord and in His divine Word He will guide us with His counsel to take right decisions and timely decisions which lead to 'no regrets' but joy and further progressive blessings.

Ps 119: 105: Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and light unto my path.

As we take numerous decisions everyday in our lives and sometimes major. And these decisions may mar and break us or may make and progress us. Help us therefore Lord, with your wisdom and counsel to take right decisions as per your will to be blessed and prosper....

Help us clearly not to lean on our own understanding and assumptions but to trust in you to guide us in right path to take right decisions.....

Topic : Naomi's 2nd And Last Major Decision In Her Life.

Here is her 2nd major decision:

Ruth 1: 6th verse. Then Naomi arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the country of Moab, for she heard from the country of Moab that the Lord has visited His people in giving them bread.

Our God is a God of second chance. He has given us freedom. If we go away from Him He will not force us. Because He has given us free will. But He waits for us to return back. There are soo many Christians who tasted the Love of Christ and the praise of Judah and had visited the "House of Bread" in Bethlehem but went back to Moab and literally died spiritually.

We know the story of prodigal son in Luke 15th chapter 11 to 32 verses. Father never went out in search for him. Because son went on his own will and interest. But father was waiting everyday for His return. Weeks months and years passed away, but still he has never given up waiting for Him. One day he saw his the same old wayward son far away weak, pale, shabby with begarry dress coming towards home. When the son comes near, he repents of what he did and asks him to keep him as his hired servant. Did the father do that?

Immediately he orders for a big feast and to dress a fatted calf and puts on the best robe, and new sandals and a great feast of celebration took place.

Similarly the Lord was waiting for Naomi to return back. He is also waiting for all those who left the first love. We will have nothing but sorrow of sin today and the prospect of hell tomorrow. If we are stubborn, God will not force but with love He waits for His wayward children to comeback. Father said, "My son was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found."

Naomi did not have the peace and joy when she was in Moab. She had the consequences of losing her husband and two sons. She was crestfallen and heartbroken.

The first major decision wrecked her life and her family. With great joy and happiness I would love to describe with you Naomi's 2nd major decision in her life and ofcourse it's been her last major decision. This decision of Naomi to me has been the greatest and the most precious decision she took. We can read Word by Word in 6th and 7th verse.

First thing: She heard in the country of Moab that the Lord has visited His people in Bethlehem. Of course from where or from whom she heard is not written.

She alongwith her daughters -in-law rose that she might Return from the country of Moab back to her Bethlehem Judah.

Then she left Moab, the sinful and destructive city and moved away from Moab setting her focus to reach her final destination of "Praise" and "House of Bread." 🍞 .

She Realised, Repented, Rose and Moved Away from destruction to a place of abundance and praise and joy.

The rest of her story is History.

Whether you may be a Pastor, Evangelist, Engineer, Doctor a leader. This story of Naomi and prodigal son reminds us that a person's repentance is purely a personal matter between God and himself or herself. And we cannot and must not judge their condition. What spiritual condition we are is known to none but the Lord. You may have everything but you must be missing the important thing. Joy, peace and assurance.

The God of Naomi is the God of you and me. If you have lost the joy and happiness you can comeback and be blessed like Naomi with

-

1.

God's Joy and Praise

2.

God's Presence and

3.

God's Providence.

He knows each and every one of our Spiritual state and condition.Those who have gone away from Bethlehem to sinful world Moab, we pray for their comeback so that you will bless them with Praise and your loving and protective Presence and also bless them with Providence in abundance. ....

Topic: Love, Unity, Forgiving Spirit And Helping Others To Rise Brings Great Blessing.

One of the most dangerous thing as a child of God is not the sins that we do, but few 'sins of omission'. One of such sins is unforgiving spirit. When we do not tame it, it grows stronger and stronger and hatred or the grudge will finally ruin our peace, our mental life. And will destroy our joy and keeps a full stop to our spiritual growth. And gradual decay or decline in our physical and mental health takes place. The appetite for growing in the lord will no longer be there though we might be doing many Christian activities. But it will bear no fruit.

An unforgiving spirit not only fails to solve anything, but it acts like a poison on our souls. It brings great harm to ourselves.

This hatred and unforgiving spirit can be on anyone, be it in the office, or in your own family or could be in the church. The moment you see someone you are offended. Then simultaneously a sort of hatred takes place. The common phrase on the outer... , "Praise the Lord" but inside you never want them to succeed.

Who is the greatest person on earth? He is not the one who gives best sermons, not the one who prays good, not the one who religously does Christian activities, but the one who has a forgiving spirit without any malice, hatred and grudge in his or her heart.

Millions of families suffer without peace because 'love of Christ' is missing and unforgiveness and hatred is increasing thereby wreaking the peace in the families.

Thousands of churches have become fruitless and dry without real growth in Christ because of lack of love and unforgiving spirit among the Body of Christ, though busy with activities.

Word of God Says in Eph 4;32: Be ye kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving one another even God for Christ sake has forgiven you.

Forgiveness is not a feeling nor an emotion. It's purely the act of our will. Forgiveness is Christlike nature.

Forgiveness allows God's blessings and the power of Joy and Peace. And His blessings are released which have been blocked by unforgiveness for long time. Forgiveness will halt other sins of grudge, revenge, envy and bitterness as the power of God is manifested within us

Help us to forgive the trespasses of others so that you will forgive our trespasses and give us peace and power within.
