Topic : Happy Independence Day! 🙂 We Have Freedom. But Freedom From What?

2 cor 3 : 27 Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom and liberty..

Paul writes in Romans 8:2, “For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death."

What is the significance of Independence day?

It marks the day when the country gained independence from British rule in 1947. This day reminds us of the sacrifices and courage all men and women took to free our country from the Britishers.

Freedom is something that money can't buy. Its the result of struggles of many brave hearts. Freedom is the atmosphere in which humanity thrives.

We got independence and freedom from British Raj. But violence not only within the state like Manipur but has been spreading all over India. Is this the freedom we are talking? My sincere thought is what did we get after we gained independence?

Just got freedom from British but we are still chained with hate, grudge, violence, rape and crime and muscle power.. Does this bring peace happiness and contentment?

Crime, rape, hatred and violence has increased manifold in the country.

Independence and true freedom to every child not only in India but the whole world is - FREE from slavery of sin, darkness, witchcraft, anxieties and fear, is Jesus Christ.

The Lord gave true freedom to everyone who believed Christ's death for the human cause, His burial and resurrection gave mankind to enjoy life in freedom to its fullest.

Therefore to have true freedom, peace, joy, victory and satisfaction in life is only through Jesus Christ alone. John. Says , Jesus is the way truth and life.

We have freedom then from addiction, freedom from pornography, adultery and all the works of darkness.

So, those who wish to know that Jesus as the only Saviour for true freedom from sin, satan and dark witch craft forces, can come to Him by repentance, for being washed by His blood and believing in the resurrection of Jesus.

Independence day freedom is limited to this planet only. But freedom in thee i.e Christ gives us that freedom to enjoy here on earth and in the one to come from above. Rapture. In Jesus....

Topic! Why We Should Worry? "Worrying will not take away tomorrow's troubles: but will take away today's peace."

"Worrying is like walking along with umbrella waiting for it to rain." - Khalifa.

Mt 6 : 25-35 : Jesus preached against worry three times in this passage. Jesus said, Do not worry" "Look at the birds. They do not sow nor reap nor gather into store houses.. . Are you not more valuable to God more than these sparrows?

Worry is one of the major reasons for stress. Worry will hold one captive, saps one energy, wastes our time, and robs one of today's joy.

Worry is fear based.

Worry is meditating things which we are afraid of.

The bible says in 2 Tim 1:7. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love and sound mind. Satan is the author of fear. And fear will give the devil a legal entry into our lives.

Fear is a spirit that must be resisted. And here are three biblical truths hat will help us to overcome stress and fear.

1.

*Revelation Of Gods Love..*

john 4.18. Gods love sets us free. Gods love sets us free from worry and fear. When we understand how much God loves us and draw nearer, then, its the key that fear will leave us..... When we are afraid, we will live in fear when we comprehend how much God loves us, worry distances itself. But, only when we allow Gods love within us, fear will disappear from the back door.

2.

*Faith Will dispel fear..*

Fear and worry can flourish only in the absence of faith. Instead of trying to fight fear get full of faith and fear will be dispelled. Faith is the expectation of good. Fear is the expectation of evil.

People who live by faith and who are in faith are excited about tomorrow. People who are in fear dread tomorrow.

3

*Avoid Meditation of Wrong Things.*

Worry is wrong meditation.

Avoid meditating on Wrong Things Avoid focusing on wrong and negative people in life.

Worry is nothing but wrong thinking, negative thinking, defeated thinking, failure thinking, inferior thinking on things which contradict the Word. Worry contradicts the Word.

Bible says in Philip 4 8. Finally bretheren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue, of there is any praise worthy , meditate on these things. And the God of peace will be with you..

May God dispel worry and anxiety and fill us with His Word which brings us Peace..

Have a blessed and joyful new week! 💐🌹🙂

Topic :True And Rich Blessings! Doing Some Good To Those Who Are In Need Without Expecting Back Any Gain. That's True Giving And Helping...

Prov. 14:32. Whoever is kind to the needy honours God.

Prov. 14:21: He Who Has Mercy On The Poor / Needy Blessed Is he.

Ps 82: 3. Uphold the cause of the poor and oppressed.

You may be ordinary person, or extraordinary person, poor or rich it doesn't matter. If you and I have a strong desire to help those who are in need without expecting anything back, then the world, the nature and Creature of the creation will bless and reward us richly beyond our human comprehension.

We can watch in this video a a true story. A young boy was found drowning. And a poor farmer who has a son of similar age dives into the waters and saves the boy. Rest of the strory is history.

Pl watch it carefully and be blessed.

Reward for those who help the needy without any hidden motives will be truly blessed and honoured by God.

Let us watch this short familiar video.

Have a blessed and joyful time!💐🌹🙂

Topic : Blessings Of Those Who Fear The Lord.

When Bible speaks of fear of God, it does not mean to be afraid of God, but to give reverence to Him in obedience as He is holy.

The wonderful gift from God has brought joy and gladness into the lives of several God's children who had the fear of the Lord.

The fear of the Lord is so crucial in our lives, Solomon emphasis its importance in Prov. 1:7. Fear of the Lord is the begining of knowledge.

Here are also some unique blessings for those who fear the Lord.

1.

There is *no lack* to them who fear the Lord. Ps 34: 9. There is no lack or no want to those that fear Him

1. *It Protects And Delivers us from all harm, evil, sin and danger.*

Ps 34:7.The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and delivers them.

2. *Showers His Mercies.* Mercies of the Lord are always upon them that fear Him.

Ps 103 : 17. Mercies of the Lord are from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him and not on everyone.

Ps 11: 11: For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great us His mercy towards them that fear Him. And not on everyone.

Luke 1: 50.

And His mercy is upon those who fear Hom from generation to generation.

How true it is... If we observe godly parents, godly saints who fear God and give reverence to Him in obedience, they also show the same respect and reverence and conduct themselves well and decent in the society. Such people, their generation and generations are blessed.

3. *Gives us strong confidence and faith.* Prov. 14: 26. In the Fear of God one has strong Confidence and his children will have refuge.

These blessings do not come to us, if we just preach, pray good and be busy in Christian activities without the fear of God.

If we keep on sinning and holding on to our sins, we cannot expect the Lord's hand to protect us nor to show mercy. It will neither give us the resurgence in faith. Only when we repent and live a life with reverence and fear of God, we enjoy these things and our generations will be blessed.

Topic: Be An Overcomer! Weakness Is Not An Excuse....

A young man who had the gift of music came to me one day and said, he had been addicted to alcohol and was unable to come out of it. And its become part of his day to day life.

One young girl though she experienced a new life told his pastor that her eyes were her weakness, unable to come out of it. And her eyes bring forth time and again impure thoughts and acts of defeat into unholiness.

Though many are saved its the greatest thrill to fall again and again without even making an extra effort in prayer, but go on to excuse himself or herself for this sin saying its the weakness that makes them fall again and again.

God never built weakness into the human being. The weakness for certain things in life has developed since years, perhaps due to the result of bad associations and could be the lack of spending time in His presence.

To indulge in joyless sinning is no joy. It has no greatness if we keep on indulging in sin and keep on saying, "Lord have mercy on me.". This attitude blocks the relationship with our Lord.

2 Corin 5:17 says, "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new." And these words of authority comes from the most powerful book in the world, the Word of God.

The definite transaction of conversion must take place in our lives. And no compromising whatsoever. The attitude of repentance must come into our lives decisively if we say we had the conversion. It must lead us into true pardon which leads us into joy. The joy of salvation.

We now then have put old things far away and all things have become new. We may be conscious of our weakness, but we will be more conscious of the mighty power that is sustaining us. Now we can say, "I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me."

Let us affirm and say, "I am redeemed by His blood: I am an overcomer: He will protect me: He will give me His power. All my sin, all my weakness, all my condemnation, all my misery, all my fears, I give it to you Lord. I belong to you, the King of Kings. Amen!

Topic :Press On! Never Give Up. Pursue Till You Succeed.

Everyone faces hardship, injustice, adversity, sickness, loss of loved ones, failures, ups and downs in life.

Philip 3:14. “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

To press toward the mark is, to faithfully continue on the “strait and narrow path which leads to eternal life” with our Savior and our Father in Heaven.

Discouragement because of failures or defeats, or life not up to our expectations can rob peace, joy, contentment and loss of hope, and thereby we many tend to give up in the middle.

But I know people whom I observed who appeared to be in an impossible situation. A few years later, however, to my joy and suprise they were in a terrific place in terms of their circumstances, or their emotions. What could be the reason? They never gave up amidst adversities, difficult challenges and hardship. Instead of sulking in self pity

or blaming others for their situation, they chose to come back and believe God and believe in themselves, step out in faith and come out of the emotional self pity.

We see initially Habakkuk, the prophet cried out desperately questioning the Lord Almighty saying, "How long shall I cry and you will not hear? Why do you show me iniquity and cause me to see trouble? Hab. 1 : 2 & 3.

Both, Prayer and hard work are needed to climb the Mount Everest of success, even when we are down and out. When we work hard together with persistent prayers, we can walk into an impossible situation, climb the mountains of challenges and move in confidence in ways mightier than we can imagine.

Do you and I can live in eager expectations of what the Lord will do? Or di we choose to linger in depths of despair, desperation and self pity? It's upto us.

Can we not turn our disappointments, dejection and depression to His appointments and blessings like prophet Habakkuk? In the end, ad we know Habakkuk comes back triumphantly concluding his positive conversation with God in Hab. 3: 17 to 19 saying, "Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labour of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation."

Topic: Finding Grace In The Dungeon.

2 Cor. 12: 8 & 9. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that the thorn might depart from me. And the Lord said, My grace is sufficient for thee.

Like Paul, all of us too had our own share of sorrows, pain and heartaches at some point of time or the other or even right now some may be going through that unbearable pain and sorrow. We all have dungeons of various kinds. Sometimes it's very hard to find grace in our own dungeons.

Fanny Crossby, the most prolific hymn writer of all time has become blind since childhood.

Yet she found the love of Christ and His grace. She never felt any lack but experienced His grace, peace and boundless joy. And no wonder Ms. Fanny Crosby wrote the words or rather composed more than 8,000 hymns.

Favorites include “Safe in the Arms of Jesus,” “Rescue the Perishing,” “I Am Thine O Lord, “To God Be the Glory,” and “Blessed Assurance” (co-written with Phoebe Knapp).

Let us see the life of great apostle Paul who wrote more than half of the new testament. He was the most persecuted and imprisoned saint of God.

If we would have been in the place of apostle Paul's persucations and imprisonments, we would have asked, "Lord give me your grace." I am in prison for no wrong of mine."

A gentle reminder to us that we know Paul wrote the letters of Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians to these three churches and one personally to Philemon - these all four were written from prison. Can we imagine a man writing encouraging, comforting and edifying letters to these churches from prison.

Among the most beautiful of Paul's writings are these lines: "This salutation is in my own hand. Remember, I am in prison. Grace be with you.

We would have expected Paul too to say, I am in prison. God give me grace. But he did not. He put it the other way. Grace be with you. I have found Grace in the dungeon. Not only enough grace, the extra grace to pass it on to you.

Topic : Friendship Day! Happy And Blessed Friendship Day! "Choose Your Friends Wisely, For It Will Decide Your Destiny." - Benedict James.

Yesterday we all have shared "Happy Friendship Day Wishes" to all of our loved ones.

Dear beloved!

Wishing you all once again a Blessed Friendship Day in the name of Jesus Christ The Greatest Friend who gave His life so we could have Abundant Life.

Friendship is more complex as an adult, especially in your 20′s and 30′s.

Prov 27: 9. A sweet friendship refreshes the soul.

Few quotes:

"Don't give up! Be friends with people who work hard." - Magic Johnson.

"A man is known by the company he organises." - Ambrose Pierce.

"Tell me the company, and I'll tell thee what thou art." - Cervantes.

"You Will acquire the vices and virtues of your close associates. The fragrance of their lives will pervade your life." - John C. Maxwell.

"In choosing a friend, go up a step." (Not down) - Jewish proverb.

"A wise man may look ridiculous in the company of fools." - Thomas Fuller.

But foolish people will realise the worth of the wise man later. But, it will be too late. So, it's important to think wisely before you choose your friends.

"It is better to weep with wise men than to laugh with fools." - Spanish proverb.

Why we need a close friend when we have so many friends? A great writer said: "There are so many gases in the air But, We need only oxygen for life. And that is Jesus Christ. Have Christ as your friend, I assure you, your friendship never ends. He always desires as a true friend that we are always happy, peaceful and blessed in life.

He is ever ready to understand our situations and be of strength, and guide us in right direction.

Topic: Humility! It Brings Sweetness In Words And Softness In Behaviour. One Who Is Spiritually Secure Can Afford To Be Humble.

2 Chronicles 7:14

if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Word of God says, those who are called by His name must first humble themselves...

"Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less." - Rick Warren.

"It was pride that changed angels to devil's; its humility that makes men as angels." St. Augustine.

"Humility brings sweetness in words and softness in behaviour."

A humble person can be easily identified from a big group. Their walk and talk and conversation will be graceful esteeming those who are listening higher than them though they are of much higher value than the group.

When we preach, we need humility, when we worship we need humility. A humble person is always calm, confident, cheerful and joyful because they do not carry any other loads of offence, grudge, pride and hate.

The thing of humility in this world is grossly misunderstood. Its the rarest of all gifts and hardest of ALL lessons. We have gotten to a place where we feel that humility is a sign of weakness. It's not a weak and timid quality at all. It's clear show of strength and maturity.

When we preach with humility, lives are transformed, the audience sees the little Christ in the speaker. And it's all tears of joy and change of hearts. Because the preacher exalts the name of Christ and humbles himself or herself.

God is still looking for such individuals who has this virtue of humility.

Show me a person without humility having great spiritual strength and security? There is NONE. Only in humility we find great spiritual strength and spiritual security. One who is spiritually secure can afford to be humble.

Help us to understand that humility is not the weakest link but the most secured one which gives access to your power and holiness. Help us ....

May the good Lord enlighten you, empower you, equip you and guide you with His amazing Word today.

Topic : God's favour! Part 2. Who Gets God's Favour? When We Honor God His Favour Is Upon Us.

God's favour was received by Abraham when he honoured him by obedience. Gen 18:13.

Moses also received God's favour. And unique blessing of seeing God's glory. Ex. 33: 17-23.

Who gets God's favour?

James 4:6. God resists the proud and giveth grace to the humble. The word grace means "unmerited favour." God pours out his favour upon those who keep a humble heart. Let us not brag about our talents, giftings, power and wealth, but ne humble to acknowledge its given by Him.

Ps. 84 11. The Lord God is a sun and a shield. The lord bestows favour and honor. No good thing that he beholds from whose walk is blameless.

God expresses favour when we express remorse over our sin. When guilt consumes us to the point of conviction. When we confess with our mouth Jesus is lord and believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. (Rom 10:09)

Favour of God does not look at our background, academic qualification, age, status, etc. Favour of God is seen upon all of them who desired to walk His path, stand for Him in times of trials and temptations and have a desire to be witness living a blameless life.

Was Daniel favoured by God? Another key element to Daniel's success was he had favour of God because of his stand for even unto death.

"Now God brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the Prince of the eunuchs." - Dan 1:9. Because Daniel refused to be defiled by the food given at the king's chamber. God was honoured. So, God poured out His grace on his situation. He and his three friends looked ten times more healthier and good looking than others apart from being wiser too.

Dear Lord, as you are our sun and shield and you bestow your favour and honor on all those whose walk is blameless and trustworthy. Help us to live blameless and witnessing life so that we find your favour and honor upon us.

Waken our hearts each day to seek you first God so that you will direct us to have your favour. In jesus precious name we pray.
