VICTORY PRIZE

The Holy Bible says, “….Israel’s Holy God is great, and He lives among His people.”  (Isaiah 12:8)

PART TWO

Invite Jesus Chrit as Lord and Saviour, accept Him as the Master of Your way, life and truth. The moment you open your heart to Him; He will rebuke the darkness and the bitterness of sickness, afflictions, sin and its death. You may be a wretched sinner in His sight today, yet He still is the same loving God, patiently knocking at the door of your heart. Your heart may be devoid of love at this moment; do not be disappointed for your Saviour Jesus- the ocean of unconditional love allows anyone to take a sip from Him as per their heart’s desire. One merciful look from Him is enough to melt all the contents of your concrete heart; transforming it into a fleshy one. To those who accept Him and win the victory, Lord Jesus says, “He will be given the right to sit beside Me on my Throne, just as I have been victorious and now sit by my Father on His Throne.”  (Revelation 21)

Get the knowledge of the truth by reading the Holy Bible and you can improve and be steady on your faith which can create a constant hope in future in His Promises.  That will create a new birth in Christ so instead of struggling for momentary pleasures and pleasing the wicked destroyer to perish yourself.  It is hundred percent worth to work for the Lord and conquer the hopeless world and its power.

St. Paul continues encouraging us that the victory prize is not only for him, but for all who wait with love for Lord Jesus to appear. Through His teachings Lord Jesus emphasises us to practice justice, mercy and a superior faith. So disregarding our past, let us from now on strive for a holy life and be put right with God; pray for His mercy that can guide and for good faith that will lead you to be a true follower of Christ. From a desire arising to dwell in His presence and performing His will alone ; He will open a Holy Way for your needs; let us fast from usage of harsh cursing words, cruel thoughts, plotting to take revenge against the hurts received. Instead train your ears to listen to His call by reading, listening and meditating the Holy Word of God and spiritual hymns.  Can a mother give up her child saying I am tired of carrying him?  So also how can we get tired of our Redeemer who lived for us keeping aside all His personal needs?  In order to make all the laws of God become easy for us to follow, He was a wanted and an accused person.  He was humiliated because He mingled with all poor and under privileged.  Being the King of kings He refused the kingship and throne , walked through the streets barefoot.  The love for everyone He stood in front of the worldly king like a lamb who was about to be slaughtered, never murmured a word against their plot for your sake because He took all our sins and iniquities on His body means He became in the form of a sinner. 

Dear ones, if you have a heart towards your Creator spare few minutes with Him, your ears and eyes will be opened.  There will be life-giving streams running through your heart.  Does not matter whether you follow Christianity or not?  What matters is He paid His life for you and God raised Him from dead and made Him to conquer the perishable world.  If you have little sense remaining accept your wrongdoings, be truly sorry for it, ask pardon to Him, take wise and holy decision that you will work hard to avoid sin and sinful atmosphere, to comfort your Lord who is still loving you and is so kind enough to be patiently knocking at the door of your heart.

How many years passed since the Saviour is knocking and waiting at the door of your heart? How do you react when you are made to wait after knocking at a doorstep? So let us bring an end to testing the Lord’s patience and not keep Him waiting anymore! Your victory prize awaits you at your doorstep!

May the Lord bless you and take care of you. May He be kind and gracious to you. May the Lord look on you with favour and give you peace.

With love filled blessings,

Your Sister in Christ

A RETREAT TO SPIRIT FILLED CHRISTMAS

PART II

How perfect are the deeds of God, how dependable His words! He is like a shield for all those who seek His protection. The Lord alone is God; God alone is our defence. He is the God who makes me strong, who makes my path safe. He makes me sure-footed as a deer; He keeps me safe on the mountains. He trains me for battle, so that I can use the strongest bow. O Lord, You protect me and save me; your care has made me great, and your power has kept me safe.   (Psalms 18)

You may ask what exactly are we supposed to do this Christmas? How can we have a spirit filled Christmas?

Dear devotees, it is essential to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation at the commencement of December month. It is only when we shatter the doors of falsehood, injustice etc to approach the Lord, can He come as the Lord of our life.

When decorations adorn only the exterior portion of our lives, we tend to defame the word ‘Christmas’. The Holy Infant laments, “As I enter to glance into every home, no where do I receive a welcome or a place to call my own. Everywhere people are miserably exhibiting the master of the world. They spend time preparing the most beautiful crib but fail to invite Me to it. People are busy exchanging greetings but forgeT to present themselves to Me.”

The Infant weeps bitterly when He finds you immersed in drinks; inattentive to His groans and fails to honor Him as the chief guest of His birthday banquet.

Dear devotees, let us retreat from the traditional rituals. Check for yourselves as to how long has that Lamp of divine truth  been burning without oil?

Let’s come to the Lord’s presence to experience the beauty and spiritual happiness that is wrapped up in Christmas.

Offer every minute and big deeds and accomplishment as a penance for the sins of self and your family; the Lord in return will surely grant you great satisfaction, acceptance and unity among the family members. You will be blessed with the opportunity to decide things together and carry them out in all unity.

When the Infant sees this heart adorned with good décor He will enter into it, establishing a place for Himself in  your family, presiding as the chief guest of your home.

Your heart and home will be filled with renewed, spirit filled experiences.

Two thousand years ago, God sent His love into this world in the form of an innocent child. While on this earth, He was known as the carpenter’s son, who recognized the measure of hard work of His mother and foster father.  While healing the hearts and bodies of those around him; He understood the depth of their lifeless situation of their Spirit.

Lord Jesus spent the majority of his life engrossed in doing good by helping the people, loving children, strengthening the weak all the while bringing them closer to Salvation. Not only did He preach the Good News but the Lord provided the physical and spiritual needs of His people in abundance.

Since Lord Jesus’ teachings were very light; He exalts us to become like little children. He excluded preaching about practicing rituals or traditions and educated people on love and how to live in love. He taught about things necessary to enter the Kingdom of God. (Matthew 22:7)

Becoming the friend of the people who were rejected and abandoned by the world; He took heed not to sell Himself for the approval of the Holy Word.

Jesus told them thus, “You shall enter the kingdom of God before those people who are sealed as good by the world and those who are considered holy and upright.”

Seeking comfort of His message, many followed Him. However the Teachers of the Law and other jealous authorities were filled with awe. To them the deeds of the carpenter’s son seemed threatening, thus turning them hostile, and carrying out unmerited actions against Lord Jesus.

In spite of His innocence being proved, the world crucified Him. For three days, His divine body rested in the lifeless tomb but on the third day by destroying the doors of death and hell, and uplifting the banner of victory, He rose to eternal life.

This man celebrated as Jesus Christ, was not just a prophet, Teacher, a Rabbi, or a Master. He is the Son of God, the only holy lamb of Salvation for the entire mankind; the Everlasting Peace of every family.

Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ. (John 1:17)

He is the Creator of the entire Universe. He is everything.

Dear devotees, In order to fetch us, who have gone astray and distant from God due to our sinful nature and deeds; and to lead us more closer to the Streams of Everlasting Love; He came and Lived among us with  the name ‘Jesus’.

His life is handed over to us as a lesson as He is the only way for our Salvation.

Jesus, the Savoir, says, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one goes to the Father except by Me.” (John 14:6)

LET’S BE AWAKE AND SOBER

The Holy Bible says, “Submit to God, resist the devil and he will run away from you.”  (Jam 4: 7)

PART II

Click here for the earlier part

Dear devotees of Christ, consider yourself a blessing if you have accepted Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord; filled with His supreme power of the Holy Spirit and venerated Him at the center of your heart. After being cleansed, the Holy Spirit will begin to work in you, giving you timely inspiration to lead a disciplined and orderly life. He will illustrate you a quite place and time that can be designated to the Lord in communication. The Holy Spirit will lead you in progress thus attaining tremendous heights of peace and joy.

Be sure to memorize that just as God’s mercy are sprinkled so also are the temptations scattered everywhere.

 It is essential to remind ourselves that Jesus too was tested by the evil spirit after the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Jesus resisted him with the Word of God. Though the devil left Him; it is mentioned in the Holy Bible, ‘the satan left Him for a while.’

 

Similarly, the owner of those old evil habits that you abandoned due to True repentance is always on the lookout to capture you again. Unable to admit failure, it is the devil’s grudge and aim to harm those who threw him out. We often come across people who are unable to accept their mistakes and maintain grudge and anger to harm those who correct them.

The satan that left Jesus in the wilderness, always did try to capture Him through the Pharisees and Teachers of the Law. When the time came for Jesus to be handed over to the power of the world, satan re-entered through His own disciple Judas Iscariot. (John 6:70)

The Holy Scriptures indicates the return of the devil with seven more badly than him.

If we go through the Light of the Holy Word it mentions a woman, Mary Magdalene from whom seven devils were cast out; she resisted the devil and went on to be Jesus’ constant follower, observing the Crucifixion with the Lord’s Mother.  She was blessed to be the first to witness and converse with the Risen Lord.    

Similarly, in the Gospel of Mark the devil himself confesses that ‘there are so many of us’. (5:9)

Lord Jesus rebuked and cast out all the evil spirits, proving His power and authority; so that whoever believes in Him need not fear the power of the world.

In the Holy Bible, the number ‘seven’ is a symbol of completion and perfection. While the devil traps you with his seven destroyers, the Holy Spirit anoints our life with His seven wonderful gifts.

It is important to correct oneself  at the  on start of the evil trap be it a small white lie or a casual disobedience; or else these habits may grow to more serious and cruel deeds. The satan throws in all his perishable and poisonous pleasures and turning him/her to a murderer or destroyer of the world. One of his worst natures is cheating and deceiving each other. When you do evil, sin is crouching at your door.

So let us be alert and control our life from the lust of eyes, body and pride. The devil is always in action capturing the number, power and spreading wickedness in all its fullness, as he knows he has very little time left. (Rev 12:12).

Lord Jesus said through the parable that those who are not ready to repent and have a stagnant life will advance to such tragedy, that they will be thrown in the lake of fire and sulphur along with satan. 

When our actions are accurate in the sight of God, the joy that radiates will be relevant on our face. St. Paul, undoubtedly declared that human race has the power of victory over the demons as he wrote in his letter to the Romans (16:20),’God our source of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.’

It is prudent to resist the entry of devil into your life. He blinds us to our numerous blessings through discontentment, throwing our attention to others and their prosperity, spinning a web of aloofness; striking the flame of enmity between your dear and true ones who flourished your life with prosperity.

If you have shared your heart with evil some you will turn a deaf ear to the Voice of God.  

Turn to the Savior Lord Jesus and the Merciful Lord will pardon and save you, and He says, ‘I will never leave you; I will never abandon you. So let us be bold and say the Lord is my Helper, I will not be afraid what can anyone do to me?’ (Hebrews 13).

The Holy Bible says, “They will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil who had caught them and made them obey his will.”  (2 Timothy 2:26)

Dear ones in Christ, you may consider that it is impossible to overcome temptations. But it is possible when you lead a life in union with Christ, filling your heart with His constant love; and shielding your thoughts, deeds and speech with God’s love and fear.

Though we do not belong to this world, yet there would be tendencies to fall into the trap but as an ardent believer of Christ we all must be aware of the devil and its tricky nature.

Blessed are those whose journey on this earth is steady and union with the Blessed Trinity. 

Even when you go through a mountain of suffering, be sure that Christ is leading you. Accept the rejections and insults for the sake of God and even if you fall through weakness, pray with greater determination to rise in good spiritual and physical health. Fight like a good soldier for the Kingdom of God.

Pray as the Lord taught, “Do not bring us to the hard testing but keep us safe from the evil one.”  

Keep your soul always shining; let your peaceful life be an inspiration for others to overcome their anxiety, fear and desperation.  Never argue or boast about your faith - especially to those who abandoned and wandered from true faith.  You may encounter many such people, so guard your faith as the only treasure which can reach you to your goal.  Pray to God for His grace that you may avoid sin. 

St. Peter warns us, “Be alert, be on watch, your enemy the devil roams round like a roaring lion for someone to devour.”  (1 Peter 5:8)  While St. Peter warns, , St. Paul advises us, “Be alert against the devil putting on the armor that God gives you so that you will be able to stand up against the devil’s evil tricks”  (Eph. 6 : 11). 

Whoever calls for safety of Lord under His protection can achieve victory over the devil. 

Lord Jesus has given us an example to use the Word of God like burning arrows to shoot against the devil, so when you confess the Word of God against it, your temptations will be powerless and disappear. 

Confessing your faith in Christ will help win over evil thoughts.  The one who believes in the Name and power of Jesus can overcome the tricks of the devil.

 The God whom you trust says to you, “He will crush the head of satan.”  When the Lord is your refuge you need not fear the wicked spirit. 

Let us imitate Job, who succeeded his faith test, confessing “His hands will kill the escaping monster.”  (Job 26: 13).

Lord Jesus has given His power and authority over the evil to His disciples and believers when He declared, “Believers will be given the power to drive out demons in His Name.”  (Mark 16 :17)

St. Paul says to the people who abandon their faith, “I am surprised at you! In no time at all you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are accepting another gospel.”  (Galatians 1: 6). 

St. Peter wrote about those who turn to sin again, “If the people have escaped from the corrupting forces of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Son Jesus Christ and then are again caught and conquered by them, such people are in a worse state at the end than they were at the beginning.  What happens to them shows that the proverbs are true – a dog goes back to what it has vomited  and a pig that has been washed goes back to roll in the mud.” (2 Peter 2: 20-22)

Never get discouraged dear ones.  Lord Jesus Christ is our Redeemer and Deliverer; also a High Priest who can wash us once again and accept us.   Whoever holds out to the end will be saved. 

Let’s all pray together to keep our faith alive by not restraining the Holy Spirit and also do not despise inspired messages.  The Holy Bible says, “Pray at all times, be joyful and be grateful to God in all circumstances - favorable or unfavorable.  Avoid every kind of evil – be it great or small. 

Things may change, life may change, surroundings will change, people around will change, but your Lord who called you never changes, would never forsake you, because He is a Faithful God.  Amen.

Reciting few prayer beads like the below will spiritually increase your zest to grow in the goodness.

‘Jesus, meek and humble heart, be my love’,

‘My Lord, my God, I love and trust in You’,

‘Soul of Christ sanctify my soul’

Give assurance to your mind – I prefer death than disobeying God.

With love filled blessings,

A NEW NAME

PART II

My dear friend, I pray that everything may go well with you and you may be in good health -- 
as I know you are well in spirit. (3 John : 2)

Click here for the earlier part.

When God stretches His hands to bless you, your family too will attain His grace and be blessed through you.

As the Holy Bible says, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved- you and your family.” (Acts 16:31)

When Abraham believed in God’s covenant; his family too was blessed. 

Similarly, when Jacob was staying with his father-in-law, the Almighty God blessed Laban and all that he had in abundance.

When Jacob was ready to leave his house, Laban said to him, “Let me say this: I have learnt by divination that the Lord has blessed me because of you.” (Genesis 30:27)

Laban was amazed to see the miraculous prosperity he achieved through Jacob.

Are you lamenting? Is poverty rampant in your family? Are you in bed of tears due to sickness? Are you broken hearted?

Do not lose hope, the Lord who blessed Laban for the sake of Jacob, will surely bless your family for your sake.

Dear young children, always remember that you can be the source of your family’s prosperity. Do regularly ask the Lor d to place His hands upon you, and enjoy the bountiful blessings that will flow into you and submerge your family members too.

It is a noble act to receive blessings from your parents too; dear parents, make it a practice to lay your hands upon your children while blessing them; couples in the family too can lay their hands and bless one another. This small but dignified act will surround your family with the Supreme Love and unity of God and aid you to experience the peace of God. Almighty Lord will bless parents, to be proud of your children, while they learn to remain in love and loyalty to you.

As you experience the hand of God over you, His blessing will follow and reflect in your daily life. Be it the people around you or the workplace. Your superiors will be blessed, as God brings prosperity to your work.

Let us reach out to the Holy Bible where it mentions about a young man Joseph, whose brothers had plotted against him and had him thrown into a dry well to die. Joseph was pious and he loved God dearly and faithfully. The Lord in turn blessed him and he prospered in all that he did. God blessed the Egyptians for the sake of his servant Joseph.

As mentioned earlier, there was a stage in my life when I had to sacrifice my family, my home and everything I possessed in this life in the light of the Holy Gospel.

All those brothers and sisters, who helped me sincerely during those days, have been and still being blessed abundantly by Lord. Broken families were rejoined, sick with good health; those who were jobless were blessed with good jobs and are in high positions today. Peace and joy were showered immeasurably.

Dear devotees, I can assure you that the Lord who blessed those who sheltered God’s chosen daughter, will surely bless, sanctify and uphold your family.

God who blessed whole of Egypt through a slave, will surely bless your place of work and all your colleagues.

Almighty God who blessed Laban through Jacob, will surely prosper you and your family members.  

With the Divine Hands upon you, no curses will touch you. The fear of curses from your ancestors will vanish in his Precious Blood.

Once the Israelites camped in the plain Moab and Balak the King of Moab was terribly afraid of those people. He sent his people to Baalam the prophet to curse the Israelites. Balaam was confused and looked at the Lord. The Lord said Balaam “Do not go with these men and do not put a curse on the people of Israel, because they have my blessing” (Numbers 22:12)

Again the king took Balaam to another place to curse the Israelites once again Balaam looked at Lord and after receiving the command of God he said “I have been instructed to bless, and when God blesses I cannot call it back”. “I  forsee that Israel’s future will bring her no misfortune or trouble the Lord their God is with them”. (Numbers 23:20-21).

Yes if you are under the blessing of God and give due reverence, no curse or evil can afflict you and also your ancestors debts will also be cleared through your blessings.

Let us pray

Jesus, King of the family, sent your Holy Spirit upon each family of this world to bring peace and forgiveness among us to eradicate the brokenness and weakness of  our soul, mind and body, bondage of hereditary curses, debts and illness especially psychological disorders.  

Mother Mary Queen of the Family, send your holy legion that under your command and by your power, they may pursue the evil spirit, resist their bold attacks and drive them into the abyss of eternal home. Amen!

With Love Filled Blessings,

A LIFE IN THE LIGHT

PART II

The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has never put it out. (John 1:5)

Click here for the earlier part

The Holy Bible says “Be alert, be on the watch! Your enemy, the devil roams round like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.”(1 Peter 5:8)

The Lord is God and He is so good to us; It is normal that whoever belongs to God would be often attacked by the worldly people and its power. The devil aims to cut off our relationship with the Divine Lord; continuously shattering our attempts to lead a holy life, so that he can succeed in pushing us deep down into hell.

His sharpest and most successful weapon to cause distress, hopelessness etc, in our life would be to influence us through our loved and trusted ones.

The very example that would befit this: Judas giving in easily to the devil’s trap to betray His Master Jesus for 30 silver coins. He ended losing the presence of God and been thrown into the valley of darkness.

If you have been a recipient and witnessed His mighty blessings, it is noteworthy to humble yourselves under God’s Mighty Hand, stand firm in your faith all the while resisting the devil having nothing to do with the worthless things, leaving all your burdens and worries unto Him who cares for you. If you succeed in doing this, God in His Mercy will uplift you

The Philistines army had gathered in a large numbers to fight against Israel, when David was king.

He humbled himself before the Holy presence and inquired God if he should proceed with the battle. God answered him not to go straight  but to circle them and get ready to attack them from the balsam trees. The Holy Lord further instructed them to advance quickly when the sound of marching could be heard from the tree-tops for that’s when God would go ahead of David to defeat the Philistines.

Though David had won many battles, yet He would not boast himself.

Every time David would humble himself before preparing for a battle by going to the feet of the Lord and enquired the Will of God by asking: “Lord, shall I go against the Philistines?” and God responded with instructions and commands to lead him to victory.

Lord our protector expects the same humbleness and willingness to seek His will, from us. Crafting us as a source of His blessing He bestows His Supreme and Divine Power, to others.

If you were a person witnessing God and His miracles, healings occurred through you but feel that you have now stagnated in your fruits, take some time out to think if you have taken refuge in your own strength, gradually forgetting the presence and power of God that was the source of your honor. Cause that’s when you meet failures, after striving hard, yet yield no fruits and yourself begin to turn against to blame God the Almighty.

Dear devotees in Christ, when the Lord blesses you abundantly granting you victory in all your endeavors, make it your aim to be more polite and honor God; move closer and listen to His voice instructing you to divert your path towards the Holy Salvation. Be a refugee in God, stand firm in your faith so as to follow Him.

The Holy Bible initiates us not to do anything with a selfish ambition or a cheap desire to boast.

Though Christ Jesus had the nature of God, He did not think that by force He should try to become equal with God instead with His own free will He gave up all He had and took the nature of a servant; He became like men and appeared in human likeness. He was humble and walked the path of obedience all the way to His death on the cross; because of this reason God raised Him to the highest place above and gave Him the name greater than any other; in order that in honor of the name of Jesus all beings in heaven, on earth and in the world below will fall on their knees and all will openly proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father.

He taught us to pray for the people who ill-treat us; also He made known to us that the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

The Holy Bible says, only the person who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God can defeat the world.

So let us keep on acknowledging our faith, confessing Jesus, ‘My Lord, who is the Son of God’, and then we can win victory over the world by means of our faith.

May the light of the Lord Jesus protect you from the storms of destruction and be with you forever. Amen!

With Love Filled Blessings,

Your Sister in Christ

Parable of the rich fool

Part ii

The Holy Bible says “…….Because I live, you also will live. (John 14:19)

For earlier part click here

Again the Holy Bible mentions, “Give generously to anyone who faithfully obeys God. If you are stingy in giving to the poor, God will be stingy in giving to you. Give according to what you have. The more you have, the more you should give. Even if you have only little, be sure to give something. This is as good as money saved. You will have your reward in a time of trouble. Taking care of the poor is a kind of offering that pleases God in Heaven. Do this, and you will be kept safe from the dark world of the dead.” (Tobit 4:8-11)

It is sheer foolishness to dream about our future life and the many pleasures that life has to offer.

 Jesus the Origin of Life, teaches us to question our self, “Suppose tonight you have to give back your life to God, who is going to enjoy all this.?

Never consider this perishable world and its fleeting pleasures as your life.  Run away from all the greed, boasting, influences, addictions and everything that enslaves you and keeps you away from the Word and Will of God.

The letter of St. James wonderfully describes and warns us against ‘boasting’.  “You don’t even know what your life tomorrow will be!  You are like a puff of smoke, which appears for a moment and disappears. What you should say is this : “If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this and that.”  But now you are proud, and you boast; all such boasting is wrong.”  (Jam 4 : 14 -16)

Finally, the parable sums up teaching that it is not his richness in wealth that defines a man, but his loving acts of kindness towards mankind that makes him a true human. Our prime purpose of life is to live in God’s love and a life in union with Him to serve Him. 

The Holy Bible says (Mt 16 : 26) – “Will a person gain anything if he wins the whole world, but loses his life.  Of course not there is nothing he can give to regain his life.”

Lord Jesus concluded that life is more important than everything and also your body.  So your Heavenly Father knows that you need all those things. Be concerned with His Kingdom and He will provide  His blessings to each one accordingly.

A person who gets rich without sinfully chasing after his money, is fortunate and he deserves his wealth and everyone will praise him for his generosity.

If you need to focus on the Lord and His Will your heart is to be filled with His promises. When your heart is full of His promises, it will certainly be blessed with His joy and hope which can lead you to peace.

Prayer :   Gracious Father, thank You for the insight You gave through this parable.  May You be my greatest Richness throughout my life. You have said “ your heart will always be where your riches are”   The richness that I gathered without even offering alms, ignoring the needy ones who stand in front of me, has made me restless and sleepless.  Give me the alertness to realize that death is always knocking at my door.  Grant me, I pray, a generous heart to move towards the needy ones, even if they are my enemies, so that I can open an account in Your Bank where there is no fear of thief or moth.  In every decision give me the grace to seek Your Will and accept it – be it loss or gain.  Let our children also adopt these virtues.  This we pray in, Lord Jesus’ Name. Amen.

RECONCILIATION

Part II

How wonderful it is, how pleasant, for God’s people to live together in harmony………that is where the Lord has promised His blessings – life that never ends.  (Psalms 133)

Click here for the earlier part.

When you accept God, you will be bestowed with the grace to accept yourself and your partner. The relationship given by God should not be broken.

But, aren't there numerous broken chords that ought to be tied?

 You may be a son or daughter not accepted by your father or mother or it could be that you would not have accepted them.   

It is time to seal the cracks that you have with your parents as it has erected an invisible wall between God and you. Unless you strive to correct it, you will observe a downfall in your life, resulting in you being a unsuccessful individual.

Remember God does not want to see His beloved children like this.

 The more arrogant, stubborn and delay in correcting yourself, your actions will result in many people’s tears which will reach to the Lord, who cannot close His eyes to injustice.

By the arrival of other generation, events turn out to be more serious.

That is why is it more vital to clear the issues as early as possible and be free from misery.

 God is very thorough with the correction of His children; and therefore He chose and sends prophets among the people to deliver His message.

There are also instances when God uses our little children as His tools to correct and reveal His teachings and will for us.

 When you observe that your child reacts to your advice adversely, instead of punishing and reprimanding them, turn to the Lord and ask forgiveness for your wrongdoing. Be humble and eager to correct yourself.

 The Holy Bible says, “The children are a gift from the Lord, they are a real blessing. The sons a man has when he is young are like arrows in a soldier’s hand.” (Psalms 127:3-4)

Some parents tend to be too casual when their little ones get mischievous; forgetting that if they are not corrected at the proper time, may turn out to be serious offenders in the future.

Every moment God is watching such parents and warning them.

It is time to bring changes in your behavior towards God and your child.

Break the walls that were build up because of you and your attitude, as the wicked world with its fast, foolish growth is awaiting to swallow your next generation for the reason that if you are the cause for it, it is truly terrible for you.  

Check and reconcile with all the relationships so as to bring up your child with God’s blessings. Accept Lord Jesus as your Spiritual Teacher, learn about Him and as parents spend time together with God, because Lord Jesus says, “I tell you more : whenever two of you on earth agree about anything you pray for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.”  (Matt 18:19) 

You have been trying this for many years, but in vain.  Why? 

Take a look back again, there could be much many more walls put up by you against your blessings.

Don’t think Sister is being too harsh with you.  Never! dear ones. I am a lady who sacrificed her family for the sake of the Gospel as per the Will of God to win families.

It is my responsibility to help you with true spiritual knowledge, so that families may be saved. By spreading the knowledge we would be able to help save each other, successfully defeating the cunning enemy. It is only for your peaceful future and for the salvation of your soul from the cruel foe fighting against out Heavenly Father, who is so full of pure love.

If you have ears, listen!

Let’s take a walk down the memory lane to the early days of your life. Engraved in your thoughts will be your home a dwelling of  your family— be it poor, middle class, or rich, orthodox consisting of grandparents, parents, siblings, other relatives etc. surrounded by good neighbors, teachers, friends, and other well wishers etc;

Where are they now? How are they doing? Are you in good terms with them ? Do you visit, help or console them often? Are they in good health or bedridden? Or are you bed ridden? Could be that some are leading a lifeless and meaningless life? Are they visiting you? Do you invite them or they keep inviting you? Deep in your heart are you cheerful when they reflect in your memory?

Where is the good Samaritan who helped you to progress in your life by bringing up your child? There are other few who emptied themselves by helping you and your siblings etc;

These are the few among the numerous questions God your Creator is raising over you!

God wants us to renew every relationship for the welfare of our descendants.

How can you forget the old home where you were born and lived with your siblings in limitations? In the absence of your parents, how you overcame the fear of the heavy thunderstorm by tightly holding your sibling. The meals she/ he fed you when in hunger, sat, cried and consoled you when sick in bed, the roads traveled without caring the distance, be it to school, church etc; games you played together; learning the initial lessons of sharing and caring for each other; the movies you watched together, etc;

If possible, put a pause to your busy life to recollect and reconcile with them to make a complete family tree to introduce them to your children, inviting them to take a dip in the blessings that God has showered over you.

Our Good Loving Father desires a unity like the Holy Trinity i.e. the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. A tri-chord will not break easily. So reconcile with yourself, parents, siblings, children etc and then soon God will bless you and your dream home.

Certainly it is not easy to reconcile and patch up the differences because evil has pierced through it. But the Lord Jesus who is the same yesterday, today and forever can penetrate into our past and remove the obstacles. Certain incidents may be fresh and cancerous.

You may deny all this, saying that you have nothing against them.

But analyze for yourself, if you are peace when alone? Is your soul safe in God’s hands? Are you content when you offer prayer and sacrifices? Are you able to present peace to your partner and children? Are you truly guilt free?

The Lord is giving an opportunity to recollect and repent truly for having forgetting them when life was greener on your side.

Let us make use of this opportunity to discard any miscommunication and reach out to our siblings and relatives, forgetting what so ever may be the reason we drifted apart.  

The greatest gift we can give each other is the ‘gift of prayer’.

The Holy Bible instructs us: “First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, requests and thanksgivings be offered to God for all people.” (1Timothy 2:1)

The Lord is always looking for someone who will to pray. As their names or any memory comes before you simply lift them to the Lord in prayer. Ask Him to help them and release His Power and Love on their behalf.

Talk to the Lord as you would to your dad.

“Father, I pray, please meet their needs, as Your heart desire be done.”

The best way to begin reconnecting is by lifting them in Prayer to the Father.

“You are the God who works miracles; You showed your might among the nations.” (Psalms 77:14)

Lord, grant me your blessing and let your light adorn and shine on my family tree.

With Love filled Blessings,

Your Sister in Christ
