FROM RELIGION I HAVE RESIGNED

"All "Religions", even our own, are only meant to control men, and it's always for monetary gain. But Jesus said; "I have come to give life, and life more abundantly. He also said if the son sets you free, you shall be free indeed." THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE ANY CHURCH I KNOW OF, DOES IT? Most men that I know of that talk of the "Religious spirit", always talk about, "other peoples" religious spirit but they don't even recognize their own religious spirit that they use to control with. I love the church and I love God's people, but I've resigned from religion."

Deepti: Our Churches are dead. They have become SPIRITUAL RELICS. Leaders are hungry after power, status, money, recognition (IDOLATRY). They control, manipulate and intimidate God's people. They suppress TRUTH. Isaiah 42:8 says "I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not give my GLORY to another or my PRAISE to idols".

Most Leaders have touched his Glory. They have become idolators. And if we know our Bible, we WILL know WHAT THEIR END WILL BE !!

I once told my PASTOR : "I find the WORLD more loving, helping and SAFE place than the CHURCH." That is what some people have reduced Jesus' Bride, The Church to! But wait. JUDGMENT IS ROUND THE CORNER.

For 13 years I argued, cajoled, discussed, cried, prayed, got angry................... but sometime last year God said : Lay off, its time for ME to act. After that I am enjoying my SABBATH REST for MY GOD HAS GONE BEFORE ME into the battle. Halleluia.

WOMEN ATTACKED, OUR SOCIETY IS SICK, SAYS THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA. (TIMES OF INDIA DT. 2/11/2010)

Hitting out at the attacks on women by their husbands and relatives, the Supreme Court of India said the hallmark of a healthy society was "the respect it shows to women, and ours has become a sick society", an anguished bench of Justices Markandey Katju and Gyan Sudha MIshra said in a recent judgment. "What is the level of civilization of a society in which a large number of women are mistreated? What has our society become," asked the bench. The bench said crimes against women could not be classified as ordinary . "They disrupt the entire social fabric". The bench further said "The time has come when we have to stamp out this evil from society with an iron hand".

Crimes against women fall under four broad categories: Physical, Mental, Emotional and Financial. Women from all strata of society are mistreated.

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY : Colossians 3:18 says "Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting to the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not treat them harshly".

The great Paul was a very PRACTICAL TEACHER. And here he turns to the working out of Christianity in the everyday relationships of life and living. The CHRISTIAN ETHIC is an ethic of reciprocal obligation. It is never an ethic on which all the duties are on one side.The rights and the obligations rest with every man.  As Paul saw it, husbands have as great an obligation as wives. It is an ethic of mutual responsibility, therefore, it becomes an ethic where the thought of privilege and rights falls into the background and where the thought of duty and obligation  becomes paramount.

Under Jewish law a woman was a thing, the possession of her husband, just as much as his house or his flocks or his material goods. She had no legal rights whatever; A husband could divorce his wife for any cause, while a wife had no rights whatever in the initiation of divorce; and the only grounds on which a divorce might be awarded her were if her husband developed leprosy, became an apostate or ravished a virgin. In Greek society a respectable woman lived a life of entire seclusion. She never appeared on the streets alone, not even to go shopping, She lived in the women's apartments and did not join her menfolk even for meals. From her there was demanded complete servitude and chastity; but her husband could go out as much as he chose and could enter into as many relationships outside marriage as he liked without incurring any stigma. Under both Jewish and Greek laws and custom all the privileges belonged to the husband and all the duties to the wife.

NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN. ISN'T IT?

Into this situation, God sent Paul and see how beautifully he brings a solution to the problem. I am amazed by Paul for here Paul, a bachelor is advising married couples !!! THIS IS ONLY GOD'S DOING. Halleluia !! God put so much into Paul. I thank God for Paul.

THE WHOLE OF CHRISTIAN LIFE IS LIVED IN CHRIST. IN ANY HOME THE TONE OF PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS MUST BE DICTATED BY THE AWARENESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS AN UNSEEN BUT EVER-PRESENT GUEST.

The wife is to be submissive to her husband; BUT THE HUSBAND IS TO LOVE HIS WIFE AND TO TREAT HER WITH ALL KINDNESS !!! The practical effect of the marriage laws and customs of ancient times was that the husband became an unquestioned dictator and the wife little more than a servant to bring up his children and to minister to his needs. The fundamental effect of this CHRISTIAN TEACHING is that marriage becomes a partnership. It become something which is entered into not merely for the convenience of the husband, but in order that both husband and wife may find a new joy and a new completeness in each other. Any marriage in which everything is done for the convenience of one of the partners and where the other exists simply to gratify the needs and desires of the first, is not a Christian Marriage.

MARRIAGES ARE MEANT TO BE COMPLEMENTARY - TWO PULLING TOGETHER AS ONE, NOT IN COMPETITION, BUT IN MUTUAL ASSOCIATION. LEARNING HOW TO WORK TOGETHER AND HOW TO LIVE TOGETHER IS THE "MAINTENANCE" OF LOVE. THE BIBLE SAYS IN ECCLESIASTES 4.9 "TWO PEOPLE CAN ACCOMPLISH MORE THAN TWICE AS MUCH AS ONE; THEY GET A BETTER RETURN FOR THEIR LABOR.


So then, didn't I say that the BIBLE has got solution to all our problems. You name the problem and the BIBLE will pop up a solution. I love you LORD for empowering the various authors of the Bible by your HOLY SPIRIT to write what YOU wanted them to write. Thank you for the WORD written by you. We would be lost without IT.

GOD'S WRITTEN WORD, THE BIBLE.

  • Melwyn Misquitta
    Yes Indeed the BIBLE is God's communication with Man.
    Consider Psalm 19:7-9 and its glorious statements about God’s written Word and allocate them accordingly.
    a. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul – its sublimity, uniqueness, power, and Person.
    b. The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple – its prophecies, history, science, miracles.
    c. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart – its wisdom, reasonableness, witnesses, integrity.
    d. The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes – its spirituality, witness, and salvation.
    e. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever – its plainness, practicality, survival, and opposition.
    f. The judgments of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether – its fruit, writers, and morality.

    Consider Psalm 19:10-11 and its glorious descriptions of the value, pleasure, and profit of the Bible.
    a. The words of the Bible and their teachings are to be valued above gold, even above much fine gold.
    b. The words of the Bible and their teachings give more pleasure than honey, even sweet honeycomb.
    c. The words of the Bible warn us of trouble and judgment for sin and tell of good reward for obedience.

WHAT IS THE BIBLE

  1. THE BIBLE is God's communication with Man. Its God talking to Man.
  2. THE BIBLE is a life changing Message that has the Power to transform your life for ever. It is a Book written by God himself and can be practically applied to our daily, often, ordinary lives i.e. our jobs, friends, marriage, neighborhood, family, country ....... etc. etc. You name it and the Bible has a solution for it.
  3. Studying and meditating on the Bible is learning to relate TRUTH to LIFE in order to transform belief into practice.
  4. Reading the Bible for the sake of reading is like squirting petrol at the opening of the fuel tank from 10 feet away. Most of it ends up on the ground. But with the help of the HOLY SPIRIT, as you earnestly study and meditate upon it, you will succeed getting a lot more petrol in the tank !! Be hungry. Be thirsty. Then see HOW HE SATISFIES YOU AND CHANGES YOUR LIFE FOREVER !!
  5. The Bible is a LOVE LETTER written to me by my MAKER, HEALER, DELIVERER, PROVIDER, REDEEMER, SAVIOUR and LOVER OF MY SOUL.
  6. INDEED MY GOD IS MAGNIFICENT, BEAUTIFUL, MAJESTIC, ALL SUFFICIENT, GLORIOUS, LOVING, PERFECT TEACHER AND REBUKER. I LOVE BOTH, HIS ROD AND HIS STAFF. LORD, YOU ARE MY HERO, MY IDOL, MY HE-MAN. YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING AND I LOVE YOU A ZILLION TIMES AND MORE.

      Satan has power but does not have authority. We must use our God given AUTHORITY to keep the devil in place because we have both, POWER AND AUTHORITY. " Go thee, therefore, and teach all Nations." (THE GREAT COMMISSION). You need the HOLY SPIRIT inside of you to fulfill this Commission without which you are easy meat for the prey (the devil) HOLY SPIRIT .... He is THE KEY, THE POWER, HE IS GOD : A part of the TRINITY. We need the HOLY SPIRIT FIRE. You have the Holy Spirit when u r Born Again but does the HOLY SPIRIT have you? Thats the crux. And that is where the Church and the Christian fail miserably.

GOD HIDES THINGS FROM THE WISE BUT REVEALS THEM TO LITTLE CHILDREN.

GOD HIDES THINGS FROM THE (SEEMINGLY) WISE BUT REVEALS THEM TO LITTLE CHILDREN (THE HUMBLE)

by Deepti Bankeshwar on Thursday, October 28, 2010 at 8:53am

October 21, 2010 - 9.07 a.m.

I PRAISE YOU FATHER, LORD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH BECAUSE YOU HAVE HIDDEN THESE THINGS FROM THE WISE AND LEARNED AND REVEALED THEM TO LITTLE CHILDREN. MT. 11:25. THANK YOU LORD.

ALL GOD'S REVELATIONS ARE SEALED UNTIL THEY ARE OPENED TO US BY OBEDIENCE. YOU WILL NEVER GET THEM OPEN BY PHILOSOPHY OR THINKING. IMMEDIATELY YOU OBEY, A FLASH OF LIGHT COMES. OBEY GOD IN THE THINGS HE SHOWS YOU, AND INSTANTLY THE NEXT THING IS OPENED UP. ONE READS TOMES ON THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHEN ONE FIVE MINUTES OF DRASTIC OBEDIENCE WOULD MAKE THINGS AS CLEAR AS A SUNBEAM. YOU MAY THINK YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THESE THINGS SOME DAY. NO. YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THEM NOW IF YOU WANT TO. IF YOU ARE DESPERATE TO UNDERSTAND. IT IS NOT STUDY THAT DOES IT, BUT OBEDIENCE. THE TINIEST FRAGMENT OF OBEDIENCE, AND HEAVEN OPENS AND THE PROFOUNDEST TRUTHS OF GOD ARE YOURS STRAIGHT AWAY. GOD WILL NEVER REVEAL MORE TRUTH ABOUT HIMSELF UNTIL YOU HAVE OBEYED WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW. BEWARE OF BECOMING WISE AND PRUDENT. YOU WILL OBEY ONLY IF YOU FEAR GOD. "THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF KNOWLEDGE, BUT FOOLS DESPISE WISDOM AND DISCIPLINE." Proverbs 1:7. FURTHER READ PR.3.32, PS. 25.14. then THERE IS A VERSE WHICH GOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS ( I CANNOT FIND IT) " THE LORD WILL NOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT TAKING THE PROPHETS INTO HIS CONFIDENCE. " WOW WHAT PRIVILEGE. BUT FIRST OBEY, OBEY, OBEY, PERIOD.

    • The words OBEDIENCE and DISCIPLINE are not there in the CHURCHES' dictionary today. Good, for that makes the PASTORS job a cakewalk. You scratch my back, I scratch your back. Pander to the rich and powerful. Relegate the SPIRIT FILLED to the periphery of the CHURCH LIFE. Shoot down the other four vital MINISTRIES AND what do you get : A DEAD CHURCH WITHOUT THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD. Often the PASTOR and the EVANGELISTS hang on to one another and attempt playing church-church. But what these charlies CAN do without the APOSTLES, PROPHETS AND TEACHERS. ZILCH. NOTHING. Therefore a strong 5 FOLD MINISTRY IS a must for a ROBUST, SPIRIT FILLED, JOYOUS,, BOISTEROUS, NOISY, LOVING, MAD, CRAZY AND WORLD-CHANGING CHURCH. HALLELUIA. HELLO? IS ANY BODY OUT THERE LISTENING. NO ONE? NO PROBS. CONTINUE THE WAY U ARE CONTINUING. ONE FINE DAY A DEAD END WILL COME.

      DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TODAY. IN FACT NOW. GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES NOW AND CONFESS AND GET CLEANSED. PLEASE. ISAIAH 6.1-9. IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE TODAY, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS. OUR GOD IS SLOW TO WRATH AND ABOUNDING IN LOVE. PLEASE REAS ISAIAH 1.18-20


FALSE WORKMEN - PART I

FALSE WORKMEN I

The acts of sinful nature are obvious: debauchery, idolatry and witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy. I warn you as before that those who live like this will NOT INHERIT the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Gal. 5:19-23.

Lord, help and teach us to recognize people by their fruits. In Jesus’ powerful name we ask. Amen.

Beloveds, let’s watch out for false teachers or mere HIRED MEN. Watch out also for the false prophets - those who prophesy peace when there is no peace (Jer.6:13). They come to us in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are FEROCIOUS WOLVES. The cause of false teaching is evil and selfish ambition. (here insert like priest like people*) Be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves. Be wise. Don’t follow any one blindly. If a blind person follows another blind person, both will fall into the pit. Mt 23:8 onwards says (paraphrased) you have only ONE MASTER, ONE FATHER AND ONE TEACHER THAT IS JESUS CHRIST. 1 Tim, 6:3-10 says, if any one teaches false doctrines and does not agree or obey the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and godly teaching, he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, suspicions and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.

Beware of covetous people who regard people as dupes* to be exploited for their own ends. Please read 2 Peter 2. In Galatians 1:1-9 we see that the Judaizers, that is the false teachers were motivated by a jealous desire to destroy Paul’s authority. Their false teaching threatened the new churches and HAD TO BE COUNTERED. A twisting of the truth is more difficult to spot than an outright lie. There will always be people who will twist truth to suit their own ideas/lifestyles. Either they do not understand what the Bible teaches or they are uncomfortable with the truth as it stands. How can we tell when people are twisting the truth? You can’t if you yourself don’t know the truth! Therefore, individual Bible reading, study and meditation are absolutely non-negotiable aspects of Christian living. Teaching has to match the truth in God’s word. Then like the Berean Christians you can weigh what anyone teaches. But for that we have to know the scriptures ourselves. “Lord, help us in this area. Open our spiritual eyes. Have mercy upon us. Forgive us for playing the fool for so long. Shake us out of our complacency. Help us to take our salvation seriously and work it out as set out in your Word (Phil. 2:12-13). Put zeal in us to know you better and better through your WORD. May we not only read study and meditate on it but enable each one of us by your mighty HOLY SPIRIT to obey and do what it says so that little by little we are made more like our Lord, Jesus Christ! Halleluiah! Lord, we confess we are weak but Lord you are strong. Will you help us? Please. In the all powerful NAME OF JESUS we ask. Amen”

In 2 Cor. 11:14-15 Paul warned that Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Here he invoked a curse on any angel who spreads a false teaching – a fitting response to an EMISSARY OF HELL. Paul extended that curse to include himself if he should twist the WORD OF GOD. HIS message must never change. Paul used strong language because he was dealing with a life and death issue.

False teaching comes from the desire to put its own ideas in the place of truth of JESUS CHRIST. The false teacher is guilty of nothing less than of usurping the place of Christ. False teachers encourage men to take the way of blatant error. Both, the false teacher and his followers are lost to shame. They care for the judgment of neither man nor God. In 2 Peter 2:2 we saw that false teaching brings Christianity to disrepute.

False teaching destroys people’s faith. We must not shape the doctrines of Scriptures to match our opinion. If we do, we are putting ourselves above God. Instead our beliefs should be consistent with God’s Word. False teachers still spout lies. Some distort the truth, some dilute it, and some simply delete it. But no matter how many people follow the liars, the solid foundation of God’s truth never changes, is never shaken, and will never fade. ONLY WHEN WE FOLLOW GOD’S TRUTH, HE WILL NEVER FORSAKE US.

Any teaching which produces a person, who repels men from Christianity instead of attracting them to it, is a false teacher. False teaching and false prophesy is the work of those who are ENEMIES OF CHRIST! The ultimate end of false teachers and false prophets is destruction. Their doom is foretold even in the Old Testament (Deut. 13:1-18). It might look as if that sentence has become inoperative or is slumbering, BUT REJOICE it is still valid and today the day has come when false teachers, false prophets, liars, accusers, false witnesses, false brothers, hired hands, false workmen, masqueraders, legalists (CHURCH MAFIA), smooth talkers, deceivers, manipulators, intimidators, idolaters, stooges of devil, enemies of the cross, spies, in short FALSE BELIEVERS and those taken captive to do SATAN’S WILL INSTEAD OF GOD’S, will have to pay the terrible price for betraying the SON OF GOD, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. Please read 2 Tim. 3:1-9. NO MAN WHO LEADS ANOTHER ASTRAY WILL EVER ESCAPE HIS OWN JUDGMENT.

The wicked suppress truth. Truth is suppressed by wickedness. Please read Rom. 1:18-32. Verse 32 is a BIG ONE. God bombarded me with this one verse 7 times since 30.1.01. The second time on 11.8.01, 20.1.03, 19.10.06, 8.11.06, 24.7.07 and finally on 19.1.08. And as of today (7.4.2009) I have lost count (practically every day!).Many of us will be surprised on judgment day to discover that even though we may not have committed the same evil acts as wrongdoers, if we approve of what they do, we will, in God’s sight, be as guilty as those who do them. If someone is doing something wrong, our being silent is giving them our approval for their acts. IN GOD’S KINGDOM SILENCE MEANS APPROVAL. And it is a sin. Whenever the honor of our LORD JESUS CHRIST is at stake, we need to speak-up but in TRUTH AND LOVE.

TRUTH FOREVER ON THE SCAFFOLD. WRONG FOREVER ON THE THRONE. YET THE SCAFFOLD HAS SWAYED AND WILL YET AGAIN KEEP SWAYING THE FUTURE, AND, BEHIND THE DIM UNKNOWN STANDETH GOD WITHIN THE SHADOW KEEPING WATCH ABOVE HIS OWN.

Lord, help and teach us. Have mercy on us. We have failed you. We have been faithless to you. But now O Lord we accept that we have sinned against the HOLY SPIRIT. We have grieved and resisted you. Will you forgive us? Will you take us on; for YOUR GLORY AND HONOR, for YOUR KINGDOM and for the sake of the PERISHING LOST? Will you Lord? Please? In JESUS’ MIGHTY AND ALL POWERFUL NAME WE ASK. AMEN. THANK YOU LORD. WE LOVE YOU.

ALL GLORY AND HONOR TO HIM

APART FROM HIM WE CAN DO NOTHING!

I AM MAKING A WAY IN THE DESERT AND STREAMS IN THE WASTELAND TO GIVE DRINK TO MY PEOPLE, MY CHOSEN, THE PEOPLE I FORMED FOR MYSELF THAT THEY MAY PROCLAIM MY PRAISE. I WILL REPAY YOU FOR THE YEARS THE LOCUSTS HAVE EATEN - THE GREAT LOCUST AND THE YOUNG LOCUST. I AM DOING THIS BECAUSE YOUR CRIES HAVE REACHED MY EARS. WARN THE WICKED AMONG YOU THAT THE DAY OF RECKONING HAS ARRIVED. LET IT BE A FINAL WARNING FOR I AM ABOUT TO CRUSH THOSE WHO CRUSH MY PEOPLE. I AM GOING TO DEAL WITH THOSE WHO ARE WAY LEADING MY BRIDE. THEY WILL WISH THEY WERE NOT BORN. I AM ABOUT TO POUR OUT MY WRATH ON THE ENEMIES OF THE CROSS ON WHICH I SACRIFICED MY ONE AND ONLY SON TO RECONCILE YOU TO ME. ALL THESE YEARS I DELIBERATELY HELD MY HAND BACK FOR I WANTED TO TEST YOU ALL.. NOW THE TIME OF SIFTING HAS ARRIVED. I WILL SIFT THE CHAFF FROM THE GRAIN. THE GRAIN GOES INTO MY BARN. THE CHAFF TO THE FIRE. I AM DOING THIS SO THAT YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM A LIVING GOD AND THAT IT IS BETTER FOR YOU TO LIVE IN (HEALTHY) FEAR OF ME. YOU DON'T SEE ME SO YOU MAY THINK I DON'T EXIST. BUT I AM IN THIS WORLD BY MY SPIRIT. ONE DAY YOU WIL SEE ME FACE TO FACE. BUT FOR NOW KNOW THAT I AM A GOD WHO SEES, HEARS, FEELS, SPEAKS AND ACTS JUST AT THE RIGHT TIME. THEREFORE, CHOOSE TO ALWAYS FEAR ME NOT MAN WHO IS HERE TODAY AND GONE TOMORROW. I AM HERE AND ALSO WILL BE THERE (IN ETERNITY). ONE DAY WE WILL BE FACE TO FACE. ONE TO ONE, AND I WILL QUESTION YOU ABOUT YOUR LIFE OF EARTH. DREAD THAT APPOINTMENT AND WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION HERE WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING. I LOVE YOU ALL. I HAVE ALREADY DEMONSTRATED MY LOVE FOR YOU WHEN I GAVE UP MY SON FOR YOU. I WILL AGAIN DEMONSTRATE IN THE DAYS TO COME HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU. THEREFORE STRAIGHTEN UP YOUR LIVES AND OBEY ME. BEING IN THE CENTRE OF MY WILL IS THE SAFEST PLACE FOR YOU. I WILL PROVIDE FOR YOU AND FULLFILL ALL THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART. I AM A GOD WHO MEETS ALL YOUR NEEDS NOT YOUR WANTS. BE EITHER COLD OR HOT TOWARDS ME. I HATE LUKEWARM CHRISTIANS. DHOBI KA KUTTA GHAR KA NA GHAT KA! YOU HAVE WAVERED ENOUGH. TODAY CHOOSE WHO YOU WILL FOLLOW ME OR SATAN. TAKE YOUR PICK. I AM A GOD WHO GIVES YOU FREEDOM TO MAKE CHOICES. ITS HIGH TIME YOU MADE THIS ONE."

      A warning to 'lukewarm Christians' and to 'chalta hai' attitude Christians. Beloveds, OBEDIENCE is the key. otherwise you will perish. Tanaz Currim said in one of the episodes of BIG BOSS : disappear, disappear ........ sadly we will not disappear but keep burning in the eternal fire of hell and not die. Horrendous isn't it. So I plead my dear brothers and sisters : get serious with JESUS, get serious with CHURCH. Its not child's play. Its matter of life and death. BTW the heresy "once saved always saved" is the lie of the ENEMY, DEVIL, SATAN. Beware and turn back. Please. I implore you. Lord Jesus, help us. Amen
      a

SUFFER FOR YOUR FAITH

"It is when men see that we are prepared to suffer for the FAITH,which we say we hold, that they begin to believe that we really hold it.If our FAITH costs us nothing,men will value it at nothing."Love you all immensely.Even those who hate me.Lord,give me GRACE to love those who dont like me.Give me grace 2 love my enemies.I confess its not easy. But Lord,with you by my side,I am learning to do it more and more.Amen.

LOVE YOUR ENEMIES

Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward you will get ? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect and your heavenly Father in perfect. Mt. 5.43-48.

This is what God has been impressing upon my mind since morning. Brothers and sisters, please pray for me that I may be perfect as my heavenly Father is perfect. I have a long way to go. But I have this desire in my heart to be more like my Saviour, Jesus, day by day. I fail Him miserably many times yet he NEVER LEAVES ME NOR FORSAKES ME. What a wonderful God we serve. What a marvelous God we serve. Lord, we love you very very much. Come and help each one of us by your MIGHTY SPIRIT. Amen

TRUE SUCCESS

People's acceptance of you is not the measure of your success. God's approval alone is your standard of service. Bring God's message to others even when you are rejected. Do His work even if it means SUFFERING for it. People will not listen, but speak and write your MESSAGE anyway because eventually SOME WOULD LISTEN. Be consistent therefore.

2 Tim.4:1(b)-5 says "I (Paul) give you (Timothy) this charge: Preach the Word, be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their ITCHING EARS want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths."

2 Pe. 3:3 (b) says " in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires."

TRUTH

TRUTH

Jesus said I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me (John 14:6). John 17:3 says this is eternal life that they may know you (i.e. God) and Jesus Christ. What is eternal life? KNOWING GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE! We get to know God through His Word. Therefore reading and meditating on the Word is very very vital. If we don’t read the bible and OBEY IT, we will continue to remain in darkness and the devil will keep on deceiving and lying to us. Hos. 4:6 says MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FROM LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. Hos. 8:12 says I wrote for them the many things of my law but they regarded them as something alien. And Hos. 4:14 says A people without understanding will come to ruin

John 8:31, 32, says you are truly my disciples if you keep obeying my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Verse 36 means that only the son can set us free. So if Jesus sets us free, we will be free indeed. Jesus alone is the truth that has the power to set each one of us free. He is the source of truth, the perfect standard of what is right. He frees us from deception by Satan. He shows us clearly the way to eternal life with God. He does not give us freedom to do what we want but freedom to follow God.

Acts 17:11 says, now the bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Many of the Jews believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men. If we study the bible, we will know how to evaluate what we hear. We must always compare what we hear with what the Bible says. If we give God’s true message we will never contradict or explain away anything that is found in God’s Word. And when we give a true message, people will hear, believe and be saved/grow and become mature.

In 2 Tim 2:15 Paul advises Timothy to handle the word of God correctly. Because God will examine what kind of workers we

have been for him, we should build our life on his word and build his word into our life. THE WORD alone tells us how to live for him and serve him. Believers who ignore the Bible will certainly be ashamed at the judgment. Consistent and diligent study and obedience of God’s word is vital; otherwise we will be lulled into neglecting God and our true purpose for living. A ton of reading and meditating on the word will never produce what an ounce of obedience will. After all the reading, if we don’t obey, we nullify all the reading. Obedience is the key. And we will obey only if WE LOVE HIM! We will obey only if we are ever grateful for what JESUS had to go through to reconcile us to the FATHER – THE CROSS. He died to give us life. He took our sin so that we would be forgiven for ours.

Ephesians 4:14-16 says then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. The Holy Spirit who guides the church is the spirit of truth (Jn 16:13). Satan, by contrast, is the father of lies (Jn 8:44). Therefore, as a Church, we must be lead by the Holy Spirit not by man-made agendas/programs. We are either led by Christ or by satan. Period. As followers of Christ we must be committed to the truth. Our words should be honest. Holding to the truth in love is not always easy, convenient, or pleasant, but it is absolutely necessary if the church is going to do Christ’s work in the world.

Failure to speak the truth is a failure to trust in God. Walk and talk the truth. Jesus died for truth. You may have to lay down your life for truth. Give-up your life than give up your commitment to truth. He will give you courage and power to not depart from truth in word or deed.

TRUTH FOREVER ON THE SCAFFOLD, WRONG FOREVER ON THE THRONE. YET THE SCAFFOLD HAS SWAYED AND WILL YET AGAIN KEEP SWAYING THE FUTURE, AND, BEHIND THE DIM UNKNOWN STANDETH GOD WITHIN THE SHADOW, KEEPING WATCH ABOVE HIS OWN.
