Topic : Our Words!! Our Words Will Reveal Our Worth. "One Good Word Is A Gift. It Will Repay Good. But One Grevious Or Hurtful Word Is Like A Debt. We Need To Pay Interest."

Words are FREE; But how we use them cost us.

"Words can plant gardens; also words can burn large forests too!"

"To kill a person one weapon is enough; but to kill and hurt a mind just ONE hurtful word is enough."

Prov. 18:21. Death & Life are in the power of the Tongue.

Prov. 15:01. A soft answer turneth away wrath; but harsh words stir up anger.

I've shared on this topic many a times. We pass in several areas of areas of our lives but falter in one particular area of life.

Words are FREE; but how we use them cost us. Our Words can bless people. Our words can curse people.

Words have lot of power. With one word we can break relationship.

With one word where there is no relationship it can be built.

With few kind words we can steadily develop relationship; but on the other hand one wrong or hurtful or grevious word is enough to lit a great war of friction & storm.

It is the best that can happen is - 'to lose the debatable arguments and win the relationship'. But, often times it happens that we win arguments but lose precious relationships.

So, it's so important to be very careful. "Not raising our voice but raising the value of our words will build healthy & fruitful relationships." Because it's rain that grows flowers but not thunder.

"One good word is a gift. It will repay good. But one grevious or hurtful word is like a debt. We need to pay interest."

"Words can plant gardens; also words can burn large forests too!!"

What we eat may not remain in our stomach; but what we say remains in our heart forever and so, it's very important to think twice before we speak..

We use water regularly and we also use our words, but once they are used they cannot be retrieved.

To kill a person one weapon is enough; but to kill and hurt a mind just ONE hurtful word is enough.

When people come & shout without any proper reasoning, let us just ignore them, because It's not the rupee notes which make noise but coins make noise where it's value is insignificant.

Have a blessed and joyful time!🙂🙋🌹

Topic : Blessings Of Thanksgiving And Praise In A Prayer.

We cannot claim or receive the promises of God without obeying His commandments.

Word of God is very clear.

As I said earlier, "Prayer itself, we must understand is not asking asking and asking but giving giving giving too!" Giving of Thanks and Praise!

Then only it becomes a complete meaningful and effective conversation with our Heavenly Father. Not just pray but to give thanks to the Lord.

Word of God says in Philip 4: 6, "Do not be anxious of anything but in everything by prayer and supplication *with thanksgiving* let your requests be made..."

Many prayers made by many are requests from us asking to bless us, bless our sons and daughters, bless our grandchildren, bless our in laws, then our close relatives, and than others and close it with "Amen."

Prayer for many is a shopping list.

Paul clearly exhorts the Philippian church with prayer and Thanksgiving let our requests be made known unto God; and then the blessing is - peace of God will gaurd our hearts and minds not through anyone but through Christ Jesus.

A person who is close to God will have his basket full of gratitude, thanks and praise and few petitions - ofcourse. And even these petitions will be in line with His divine purpose and not his own choices which most young people and others do and regret later.

While thanking and praising God our hearts are well prepared and well tuned like a guitar to touch the heart of God. That's why we see people who are close to God have the lifestyle of thanking and praising God. And when they pray, their prayers may be brief and simple, but it blesses, comforts, strengthens and rejenuvates the lives of others.

Thanksgiving gets us through the gates and praise into the courtroom of the king of kings.

We must understand without thanksgiving and praise our prayers stand outside of the court of God without being heard.

Do you really want to know the blessings or benefits of Thanksgiving ?

1. It soils our hardened heart to experience His presence, His power, His Healing, His Deliverance and Restoration.

2. Reduces depression, Improves self-esteem, improves mental, physical health and spiritual well being.

3. It cripples the wings of satan and powers of darkness.

4. Relief from stress, fear and bondages.

A great man of God said, "Praise and thanksgiving is the big gun of faith."

A man of gratitude you might have noticed will be a humble, a gentle person who is close to God.

Help us lord to have a thankful and grateful heart for what you have done - for giving your only Son for the redemption of mankind.

Help us to have a lifestyle of thanksgiving and praise to conquer fear, inferiority, stress, anxiety and evil forces....

Have a blessed and joyful time, and a victorious week! 🌹💐🙋🏽‍♀️

Topic: Rest From The Troubled And Turbulent World!

Bible says in Mt 11:28. "Come unto me all who labour and are heavy laden I will give thee rest."

Rest is a gift from God. There are many people who wrestle in the night instead of having a sweet restful sleep. Recently after preaching in a church, a person came to me for counsel and Prayer.

He said that in his house there are several family members, his wife, son, two daughters and his grandparents. Though we all stay under one roof, loneliness, fear, uneasiness and unrest grips me like a mechanical vice. In the nights though I make a prayer and sleep, I struggle and inspite of keeping the bible beside my bed side, the clock clicks 11,12.00 noon, 1, 2 & 3 am early morning he is still awake. "And though I wrestle and make every effort to sleep, worries, anxiety and fear grips me and compounds me further, and as I keep thinking about my wayward children, and rebellious wife, daughters yet to settle down in marriage, son neglected his studies - these all added further misery to my unspoken problems. He wanted me to come home and pray for his family.

Well, there are several families like this struggling within the four walls but show to the world that everything is fine n ok.

Keeping bible beside the bed and trying to sleep will never give sleep. Keep the Word of God alive in the heart it gives courage, hope, rest and peaceful sleep. While praying in the night before you sleep, dont keep asking, asking asking, but keep giving, giving with whole hearted thanks and give praise to God by singing meaningfully 2 to 3 songs experiencing the lyrics, and short sincere Prayer is enough to get good rest. Ensure your Life is clean without any sin before you sleep. Ensure you cut off grudges, hatred anger before you go to sleep. Otherwise it will be disturbed unhealthy sleep.

Most of them even bearing the name of Christ get up with frown, worries, anxious moments and are physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually exhausted and burnt out.

When we read, enjoy, trust and receive God's Word, it gives us peace, rest, calmness and guidance. Bible says in .. "Come unto me all ye that are heavy laden I shall give thee rest." Rest from the troubled n wearied world. Don't go to anyone, they talk sweetly but are ready to put you down. Go to your Sovereign God who knows you by name and He will give you rest, peace & joy.

Topic: Why God Blessed Simon Peter As A Powerful Apostle And Leader Of The Early Church Though He Had Series Of Failures And Denials?

We heard in devotion 1 and devotion - 2 few days back, the fall of Peter before crucifixion of Christ.

His distancing from Jesus, His denial of not knowing Jesus...

Then why the Lord forgave him and restored him as the great leader of the apostles?

Very simple. Jesus saw the heart of Peter

His motives. What all Peter did during his ministry he daw that he was sincere, enthusiastic, showed more leadership qualities than others and Passionate to follow Christ.

Lord knew that Peter had more faith in Him than other disciples.

Most of the times he was the first to come forward and took the initiative.

Peter was bold and courageous than the rest. .

Peter moved in a closer and core circle of Jesus.

He was a witness to the Transfiguration, when Jesus was revealed to be God's only Son.

Though he denied Jesus, it was Peter who clearly understood who Jesus is... When disciples were giving vague answers to Jesus, it was Peter alone who clearly testified that Jesus is Christ, Son of the Living God.

Though his courage deserted him, the Lord knew it is Peter who will be one of the great leader of the apostles. It will be he who will stand before the kings and authorities to share with power, boldness, courage and with authority the undiluted gospel of redemption.

From his bold declaration that he would “never deny Christ” ... to his bitter denunciation, “I don't know the man- Christ!” The good news is that Peter was forgiven and restored by Jesus. And once Peter had been restored, he went and preached a sermon to the very people who had crucified Jesus. And 3,000 people were saved! It was the first sermon after his series of failures. Great revival and big defeat to satan's kingdom. The first apostle to do the first miracle after Jesus Resurrection. The church took birth after his fiery sermons.

The lesson that we all learn from Peter's life is, though we may fail, if our heart is true and sincere to be trustworthy and loyal like Peter, we too will be lifted up against our failures, defeats, humiliation to the pinnacle of glory, fame and success...

Topic : Character! It Is The Building Of The Character That Should Be Central Aim In All Of Our Lives. "Character Is What You Are When No One Is Watching." - Heraclitus

"Knowledge will give you power, but character respect." - Bruce Lee

Ps. 26: 1 Declare me innocent O Lord, for I have acted with integrity.

It is the building of the character that should be central aim in all of our lives. Business, school, college, church, profession, pleasure, struggle, reading all are but means to the one end.

The growth of one's manhood is infinitely of more importance than the growth of one's fortune. Everything we do leaves it's impress within, upon our soul. We are building life all the while whatever we are doing.

The work itself may fail, the efforts may fail, but in the workers' disappointment, amid the failure of his plans, the work on his or her character goes on or lives on. Even in defeats the struggling leaves a recompense within. Giving though nothing gift comes from the gift, blesses the giver.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will and character.

"People are interested by our talents, power and fame. God is impressed by character."

"Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It's created little by little, day by day."

"The truth of our efforts is expressed through the choice of our actions."

Character Character Character Is Most Important.

Topic :Wilderness Training! Every Christian Has To Go Through Wilderness Training! It Is The Place Where God Draws His Prophets To Crucify And Crush Ambitions, Pride, Arrogance, .....

And anything that will get in the way of them becoming a pure vessel to serve the Master.

The training ground for all called prophets of God is the wilderness. This is the place where God draws His prophets to crucify and crush ambitions, pride, arrogance, carnality, and anything that will get in the way of them becoming a pure vessel for His Spirit to move through. It is in the wilderness where the personal desires of prophets die and the desires of God come alive. Craving platforms, microphones, and a travel itinerary is crucified and crushed in the wilderness.

Biblically speaking, there is a calling, consecration, and then a commissioning. Too many believe that because God has called them, they have now been commissioned into prophetic ministry. This is not the truth and forsakes the most important and crucial development of the prophet/ God's servant; consecration. The consecration process, which will be repeated numerous times throughout the life of a prophet/ God's servant is known as the wilderness training.

One of the greatest pitfalls of the prophetic ministry is, when prophets refuse wilderness training. When prophets are not trained in hiddenness, they crave the platform and know nothing of the prayer room. They will chase after the applause of men because they have never heard the Father affirming them in secret.

When prophets refuse wilderness training, but they will desire fame and fortune over holiness and repentance. Prophets that refuse wilderness training will tear down with their character what their prophetic gifting has been built. The wilderness is where God creates a place inside of the prophets/ servants for them to carry His Heart with undefiled intentions and motives. Prophets/ servants of God that have not been wilderness trained make prophetic ministry all about them, their influence, and their success. Prophets/ God's servants that have been wilderness trained do not fear men, but live for the Glory of God and value the secret place over any public space.

Have a blessed and joyful time!!

Topic : God's Presence: God is with us through Our Tough Times And Adversities Of Life!

We know that God’s abiding comforting presence is always with us. His Word contains several promises of His loving presence. Let us take a moment to meditate on on God’s comfort presence.

Isaiah 41:10 - God presence strengthens us.:

"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

God has promised us His strength. He will never give us a trial which we are unable to handle. As children of God, we can call upon His presence at any time.

Jeremiah 33:6 - God brings healing to us:

Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.

John 14:27 - God provides peace to us:

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

Sometimes an unexpected pain or illness may frighten us. Let us accept God’s gift of peace, and let it create a calm spirit within you.

Matthew 11:28-30 - God presence lightens our burdens:

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Many times we feel overwhelmed in our Christian life. God has promised us that we can find strength in Him, and He will provide rest for us.

Topic : A Pure Heart! "God Favours A Man With A Pure Heart; And A Clear Conscience." - Chris Lumpkin.

Where our heart is there is our mind and eyes too!

Prov. 23: 26 & 33. My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my way.

Your eyes will see strange things. And your heart will utter perverse things.

It's really good to be healed from cancer, aids, carona virus, T.B, but the greatest healing in life is the healing of heart and saving of soul from eternal damnation of eternal fire.

I came to know a person who was suffering from last stage of cancer...

...So, I believe, "Healing of heart and being born again" is the greatest miracle in life.

Heart is deceptive and full of evil. Unless we cleanse it and and confess and repent of our iniquities, we all perish.

Kind David knows our human heart is full of wickedness and deceptive. Unholy and impure thoughts. He prays a sincere prayer with a repentant heart, praying, "Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me."

If our heart is good we will do good and edifying works. If not, we will do deceptive works and see evil things of world with our eyes. And thereby bring reproach and shame to ourselves leading us to eternal destruction.

Here are few Inspiring quotes!

"Live with a clean heart; love with a clear motive; sleep with a clear conscience." - Brian Houston.

"God favours a man with a pure heart; and a clear conscience." - Chris Lumpkin.

"A clean heart won't let your mouth speak dirty. Purify the heart, and it will cleanse your speech." - Ben.

Topic: Our Words Reflect Good, Bad Or Ugly. Idle Lips Are Devil's Mouth Piece.

Words Are Like Nitroglycerine - They Can Blow Up Bridges Or Heal Wounded Hearts.

To build someone's life, or to destroy and wreck a life it rests on our tongue.

When fish opens its mouth that it gets caught. Our words reflect our fate. Either we will be justified by them or we will be condemned.

Prov 16 23 & 24. :

The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

The best time for us to hold our tongue is the time when we feel an urge to say something or bust out. People say, "Not even the fastest car can catch a word spoken in anger. Most of the times, if not always, silence is the ultimate weapon of power. Its one of the hardest arguments to dispute.

Words have consequences or rewards. The tongue therefore can be both helpful or hurtful. An encouraging warm word to someone can lift them up from despair to path of joy and life.

Some people keep speaking, and some from experience, don't speak.

Good words are the seeds that always bring rich harvest.

Few quotes on tongue:

"We have two ears and one tongue so that we would listen more and talk less."

Tongue has no bones but is strong enough to break a heart.. So, be careful with our words. - Annonymous.

"Tongue is like a sharp knife. Kills without drawing blood."

"Never trust your tongue when your heart is bitter." Samuel Johnson.

Have a joyful time and blessed new week!💐🌹🙂

Topic : True Spiritual Healing And Restoration Is Far Better Than physical Healing." Eternal life Is Secured.

Let's not limit God by asking for temporal and small things. Higher and deeper our prayer life is, higher will be our Godly desires.

Our little prayers to God are over answered. We ask for temporal things; And He gives us both.

Ps. 37:4. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

No true, faith-winged prayer goes unanswered, but many a prayer that seems to us unanswered is really over-answered. The very thing we ask God does not grant, because He is able to do something infinitely better for us. We ask for bodily help or relief, and He sees that we need far more some deep spiritual blessing. He answers our soul's needs before He gratifies our personal wishes. Otherwise we don't change!!

Jesus raised Lazarus from death. After Lazarus was raised, how he lived no one knows. Nothing is ever mentioned in the Bible. But, then, he died the 2nd time.

An alcoholic, on death bed, fearing death, gave an oath of not touching the wine. He gave his life after the counsel. God in His mercy healed him completely. But, he is back to his old habbit.

I always therefore emphasis ; True spiritual healing is much better than physical healing." Eternal life is secured.

So, we ask for a temporal ; He does not give it to us, but instead He bestows upon us a spiritual good that enriches us forever.

We ask for lifting away of a burden or sickness or averting of a sorrow; our plea is not granted in form, instead we receive the new impartation of the power of Christ, or an angel comes and ministers to us. Thus many times our little prayers are over-answered.
