YOU CANNOT GO WHERE I AM GOING!

Again Jesus said to them, “I will go away; you will look for me, but you will die in your sins.  You cannot go where I am going.”  So the Jewish authorities said, “He says that we cannot go where He is going.  Does this mean that He will kill himself?” 

Jesus answered, “You will belong to this world here below, but I come from above.  You are from this world, but I am not from this world.  That is why I told you that you will die in your sins.   And you will die in your sins if you do not believe that ‘I Am Who I Am’”

“Who are you?”  they asked him.

Jesus answered, “What I have told you from the very beginning.  I have much to say about you, much to condemn you for.  The One who sent me, however, is truthful and I tell the world only what I have heard from Him.”

They did not understand that Jesus was talking to them about the Father.  So He said to them, “When you lift up the Son of man, you will know that ‘I Am Who I Am’; then you will know that I do nothing on my own authority, but I say only what the Father has instructed me to say.  And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.” 

Many who heard Jesus say these things believed in Him.

(John 8 : 21 – 30)

TEACHING ABOUT CHARITY

“Make certain you do not perform your religious duties in public so that people will see what you do.  If you do these things publicly, you will not have any reward from your Father in heaven.

“So when you give something to a needy person, do not make a big show of it, as the hypocrites do in the houses of worship and on the streets.  They do it so that people will praise them.  I assure you, they have already been paid in full.  But when you help a needy person, do it in such a way that even your closest friend will not know about it.  Then it will be a private matter.  And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you.

(Matthew 6 : 1 – 4)

This is the Word of Lord

Thanks be to the God

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 favor and give you peace.

GLORIOUS GRACE

PART I

Lord, You are my God, I will honor you and praise Your name. You have done amazing things; You have faithfully carried out the plans You made long ago. (Isaiah 25:1)

In the Holy Bible we can learn that Apostle Paul after gaining deep knowledge and the importance of God’s grace has adorned it in his life and experienced the true victory of it. The same has been applied and described in his letters.

I think it would be appropriate if we who are leading a sin loaded life go through the unmerited favor given by Our Father in Heaven.

See how much the Father loved us!

“For God loved the world so much that He gave His Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not die but have eternal life. “ (John 3: 16)

Even if we sin, God loves us, because He is love. He reveals his individual love towards each one of us saying, “I can never forget you! I have written your name on the palm of my hand."

He is aware of every little happenings of our life, and proved the same by His caring words: “Even the hair of your head have all been counted.”

His love is so unique and holy, that if we check, human love has got so many invisible impurities and selfish ambitions blending it. Here again, God convinces us, “I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring the future that you hope for.”

Dear friends in Christ, Our Father is not the One who wants to do only His Will. He promises that “I will give you a future that you dream for.”

When I was young my ambition was to be a teacher, but as I grew up, was tuned to another profession.

My Heavenly Father, who knew my dream, gave me the knowledge of His Kingdom and made me a well experienced candidate through my life. At the age of 40, He appointed me for the post of ‘Spiritual Teacher’ of his Kingdom!

 Praise God!

Though my ambition was buried in my memory, God fulfilled the little girl’s dream at His appropriate time.        

    

Am confident enough to assure you that when  you love Him and simply say a Yes to the powerful Father who can turn the ocean to a desert by a command can also turn your adversity into prosperity.

In Old Testament our forefather Abraham is famous to everyone. God had asked Abraham to offer His Son Isaac for Him. Being a faithful man, Abraham whole- heartedly obeyed.

But what happened when Isaac was about to be sacrificed? God interfered and stopped Abraham from sacrificing his son.

God comforted him saying, “Abraham, good you have obeyed Me. I have got a covenant with you. Through Isaac I have to complete that. I will give my son to your children so that they all will become free from slavery. “

Yes!! Glory to God. 

Dear Ones, believe in His Faithful promise, unchangeable God who blessed Abraham wish all of us to hold the trophy of victory and offer it to Him.

Let us continue about His favor. God who loved the world so much that He gave His only Son Jesus Christ, says to you, “The mountains and hills may crumble but my love for you will never end.”

Yes Abba Father, here we thank you for your steadfast love for human being. May I be worthy of it through the merit of Jesus Christ. I love you Father.

Among human love, God considers motherhood love as true and selfless.

He again takes guarantee of his concern for us saying, “Even if a mother should forget her child, I will never forget you.”

If you are lacking your parental care, He is consoling you.

Thank you Father for your outpouring love which hugs me.

FATHER’S DAY SPECIAL

Let us gather and pluck each little hearts of ours, washed in the Blood of  Jesus and make a garland to adorn the footsteps of our Loving Father.

When faced with a big mountain, I will not quit, I will keep on striving until I climb over, find a path through a tunnel underneath or simply persevere and turn the mountain into a goldmine by holding my Father’s hand.

Glory of God Our Father be blessed,
