How many times have we gone off-track from the plan of God because the reply from God did not reach us in time due to congestion (busyness of life) in our bandwidth (time= 24 hours) after we waited so long making request for a direction. Having faced delay in answer how many times did we act according to human wisdom and thinking thereby missing a wholesome healing in the lives of people whom God sent to us from time to time. (read it again n again) How fast our attention gets diverted from God and His kingdom business to the pleasures and wealth of this world. (New technologies and gadgets that appear in the market..Do that tempt us? Are we tempted to change mobiles according to the latest trends?) How much debts are we in today due to lack of discipline? How many time have our prayers for a miracle not been answered, but we blamed the lack of faith of the person who came for prayer? How often do we find ourselves short of weapons to fight the devil and even those weapon that we hold ...

How much do you love Him? I was really desperate about my spiritual condition. Was longing for a change and fresh revelations (voice of God) with all my heart. It was when the Holy Spirit started to speak to me in a deeper and clearer way than what I have been experiencing in the past lately. I was reading the above passage from an NIV translation one day and my mind started asking this question, “Why did Jesus appear to Mary Magdalene in person first before He ever appeared to anyone after He rose from the dead?” That seemingly-simple question initiated a whole lot of thought processing and search for the answer. I started to read and re-read the passage thereafter. Then I discussed it in the group of young disciples that we work with and shared it to three different small congregations in the following week. In the process, I found a reason which is encouraging me to be like Mary though I am nowhere near her commitment. But I believe if I continue to long for Him and not lose the mom...

2Co 4:2   But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. This is averse that we all need to look closely or have to dig deep to find living water coming from deep beneath. To have a glorious ministry and to experience that glorious ministry, Apostle Paul mentions some of the steps involved.

This world is full of experiences and most of them make us feel bad and sound also bad. Human beings are becoming more and more self concentrated and greedy to live their own life not caring for others. I don't mean that we need to care and do all for everybody, but there seems to be no humanity found. For and example to say... God has given me all that I need and still I am trying to make myself happy even though I see someone who is in need. This reminds me of the story that Jesus told about the Richman and Lazarus. Why could not the rich man see Lazarus who was needy? I would not say that the Richman had to give all his property for Lazarus, but he could have at least given a day’s meal which would help the poor beggar to survive. Something could be done, but the Richman ignored Lazarus and finally God too had to reject the rich man because of his deeds. The Bible clearly teaches that we will reap of what we sow on earth. So why not be careful and thoughtful of what we do and s...

St Paul, a great leader and servant of Christ Jesus was reminding me of the ministry that he had obtained from Christ Jesus. A ministry in which he was moving forward and forward even though there were lot of hindrances. His words “2Co 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;” sound the joy in doing this ministry even though he had to suffer hunger, or being bet many times for the sake of the Gospel. There appear words of being proud enough in doing the glorious ministry handed to him by God the Father and Jesus Christ. Another point I saw was that Apostle Paul was giving a message about God’s Mercy bestowed on them or to all who were doing the glorious ministry and another voice speaks to me where it tells that Paul depended upon God’s mercy to do all that he was ordained to do and so he boldly says “we faint not”. Can we say so? Do we say so? We all are so disappointed when we do the ministry. We always look towards others hands for financ...
