Blessing

3 October 2011 Blessing

 We are actually motivated to run after or our mind has been focused on materialistic wealth, power politics, packed with egotism, and instigated with pride. There is a sharp demarcation between a blessing from God and from satan.

Lord blessings were enriched with joy and no pain or sorrow was added to it. But the blessings brought down by the satan has its own character ingrained. Of course it has its curse and other tribulation attached with it.

God gives Blessing. Have a biblical principle to be followed: "Position yourself for blessing, and you will be blessed."

 Blessing actually means that 'something to be thankful for what has been received'. It makes us happy, and gives a healthy body and mind .A blessing is  a desirable one, something we all want and wish for.

God’s Blessing is not a magic or  by chance which protects us from danger. Blessing is not a way to assure that everything will  always remains with good shape. Blessing is not something that is bestowed on us by chance or in a random way. God’s Blessing is bestowed upon us because of His mere GRACE.

"Position yourself for blessing, and you will be blessed. That's so important- you may get ant one, may be a - Spiritual blessing, physical blessing, moral blessing, financial blessing -the list is endless.

     God’s Blessing gives us  peace:

“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.John14:27

“.. you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.Isaiah 48:18

“And great shall be the peace of your children”. Isaiah 54:13

Bible warns that: “There is no peace,” says the LORD, “for the wicked.” Isaiah 48:22

Wealth acquired in a wrong way leads to destruction and no person will escape from the wrath of God on the judgement day.

Beware of unaccounted income bribes, back-door earning, illegal income, cheating all sorts of deceits and others evil routes through which wealth flows in.

"Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,And wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness .Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:1-4


God knows the heart of a person, 
nothing is hidden from His eyes.

"The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it."Proverbs10:22

The blessing of the Lord, of course, makes us rich. Whatever we receive definitely, has God's blessing in it. No snags or troubles, or difficulties will come  along with all the property / wealth acquired. God's blessing gives simple enjoyment packed with peace and no tax is levied upon the comfort we enjoy.

All riches  comes from the Lord, and we should  acknowledge that and  it is not attributed to the diligence, meticulousness, wisdom and merit of men. No need to boost about the riches acquired in a  back-door method or  in a different route and it does not contain a perfect blessing from God.

True riches consist in having the blessings of the Lord, for there is no sorrow attending the Lord’s enrichment. But often the riches of the world are accompanied by great sorrow because they may:

•          Have been obtained in a wrong way -with evil motive
•          Have become a source of idolatrous trust. –with selfish greedy nature
•          Cause one to lust after forbidden things. – with disobedience to God’s law
•          Going  back from the faith-  due to lack of faith.
•      But godliness with satisfaction is a great gain.

“For we brought nothing into the world, and
 we can take nothing out of it.
 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 
Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and 
a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that
 plunge people into ruin and destruction.
 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.
 Some people, eager for money,
 have wandered from the faith and 
pierced themselves with many griefs.  (1 Timothy. 6:6-10).

·         Because of constant anxiety,

“Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment (1 Timothy 6:17).

Wealth is not the key to happiness, contrary to what many think, for most of the desirable things in life cannot be purchased by wealth—salvation, peace of mind, health, happiness, heaven, etc., but these are all the gifts of God, who gives more to us while we are sleeping than we can earn ourselves.

"Unless the LORD builds the house, 
   the builders labor in vain. 
Unless the LORD watches over the city, 
   the guards stand watch in vain. 
In vain you rise early 
   and stay up late, 
toiling for food to eat— 
   for he grants sleep to those he loves. (Psalm. 127:2)

PRAISE THE LORD

Everlasting LORD

1/10/2011 Everlasting  LORD 
David’s Prayer

  David praised the LORD in the presence of the whole assembly, saying,

 “Praise be to you, LORD, 
  the God of our father Israel, 
  from everlasting to everlasting. 
 Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power 
  and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, 
  for everything in heaven and earth is yours. 
  Yours, LORD, is the kingdom; 
  you are exalted as head over all. 
Wealth and honor come from you; 
   you are the ruler of all things. 
In your hands are strength and power 
   to exalt and give strength to all. 
Now, our God, we give you thanks, 
   and praise your glorious name. 1 Chronicles 29:10-13

This beautiful thanksgiving prayer, is an expression of gratitude. Sometimes it is good, just to stop, praise and to thank God for His goodness, grace and mercy. WE have to learn to lean on God for every thing.God gives power,strength and victory .
 Relax a second and think about the goodness you have enjoyed from God.    


       Greatness

•   "Praise the Lord, O, my soul, O Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. psalms 104:1 –
• "For great is His love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord." Psalms 117:2

       Power.

• "The power of God lifts us from sin. Colossians 2:12
•       "God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self discipline," (2 Tim. 1:7). Power belongs to God.

         Glory.

•   "And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken." Isaiah 40:5. God is characterized by GLORY, it signifies the highest esteem and honor.

        Victory.

•   " ... the Lord gave David victory wherever he went." 2 Sam. 8:6
•   "For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory." Deut. 20:4 ..

He is worthy of praise due to His greatness; His power, glory, victory and majesty.

Stop for a moment to praise God For He has done vast things and thank God for His goodness,  unfailing mercy,  everlasting grace.

The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, 

  without painful toil for it.Proverba10:22

GOD BLESS.

I will not forget you

30 September 2011 I will not forget you 
As humans we always want to show our love and affection to one another. Starting from home to the entire  world of relationships, the word Love dominates. Even the business word, started using the concept for its profits. But nothing can be compared to God's unchanging love.Among living creatures mother's love seems to be the best. BUT....

“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me. Isaiah 49:15-16

A mother's love is instinctual, unconditional, and forever. And she understands what a child does not say. but Gods love is above everything Starting from the day you are formed in your mother’s womb and now at present , the future too God cares for you.Just as a nursing mother cares for her children, God cares for you.

  " My frame was not hidden from you

   when I was made in the secret place,

   when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

   Your eyes saw my unformed body;

   all the days ordained for me were written in your book

   before one of them came to be.Psalm 139:15-16-
 This is the way you are formed. 

Even a mother can throw away her child,may be sunk with various causes.Some times the motherly affection may vanish for other materialistic benefits.

Even a mother may curse her own child, having a stone heart. ( that is the world left in the hands of satan). In such situation do not look to anybody or loose hope . The Lord Almighty who have formed you and carried you till date, is  standing beside you and is with you. Feel the presence of God. His love is an unchanging LOVE.

I have formed you, you are My servant; ....... you will not be forgotten by Me! Isaiah 44:21


What a privilege to be the child of GOD.
Taste and see that the Lord is GOOD




GOD BLESS.

LORD, You are our helper

29 September2011  LORD, You are our helper

“LORD, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us, LORD our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this vast army. LORD, you are our God; do not let mere mortals prevail against you.” 2 Chronicles 14:11

 Whenever we are faced with impossibilities and overwhelming condition in life, it is always the smart to turn to God and pray persistently. Some times we loose our strength to fight the devil in day to day activities.Some times we may be blank in mind and not knowing where turn for remedy.

“…… For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” 2 Chronicles 20:12

Abnormalities are nothing for God because HE who is the creator of  heaven and earth

    Even the mightiest army of man is nothing against  the Almighty power of God. Nothing is impossible for God.God Can provide anything (wealth or health  you name it-) according to the riches In Glory.

  God is greater than any mortal. As the heavens are high and the earth .

“……. LORD does not deliver by sword or by spear; for the battle is the LORD'S and He will give you into our hands." 1 Samuel 17:47

   In our mind we think about the problems as tough tasks and impossible matters, that thinking pattern puts a constraint to God’s power. We ourselves draw a circle around us and refuse to come out of it. God will give you  the freedom.
" IN THY NAME WE GO AGAINST THIS MULTITUDE.  This is a prayer to show that We are so anxious to get God on our side, reflects the total surrender to the God's will  and waiting for God to bless our program.

   "When Your people go out to battle against their enemy, ..... and they pray to the LORD .... . .. 1 Kings 8:44

     Acknowledge that LORD, THOU ART GOD and None like You in all the earth.

“They were helped against them…….for they cried out to God in the battle, and He answered their prayers because they trusted in Him. 1 Chronicles 5:20

 “… yet God will bring you down ....the enemy, for God has power to help and to bring down." 2 Chronicles 25:8

God gives power to overpower Satan , who roams always around God's children to pull them down.
 Praise the Lord and move forward.
GOD BE WITH YOU.

See the beauty of God's creation.

you are the chosen one

28 September 2011 

It is really amazing to read the way we are taken care of, by the Almighty God. If you realize the fact, then you will never turn away from God.

“This is what the LORD says your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb, I am the LORD, the Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens, who spreads out the earth by myself” Isaiah 44:24.    Thank you Master.

“Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book, before one of them came to be.”Psalm 139:15-16

 God has the blue print of your life sketch. 
Then why you want to carry yourself with a long face or with a sunken mood? Everything will be beautiful in its own time.

“From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother’s womb.  I will ever praise you. Psalm 71:6

         God tells you  clearly that you are his chosen vessel God, He  wants to use you, to Glorify His name

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart;..”Jeremiah 1:5- What a timings God has to make His plan.

Read the verse you will have your trust fortified and synchronized.
 

“you whom I have upheld since your birth, and have carried since you were born. Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. Isaiah 46:3

‘ You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away:Isaiah 41:8-10

“ You are My witnesses,” says the LORD, “ And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me.Isaiah 43:9-11

“Because of the LORD who is faithful, The Holy One of Israel; And He has chosen You.”Isaiah 49:6-8

“For many are called, but few are chosen.”Matthew 22:14

You shall be like a watered garden..
Water falls @ Munnar Kerala

LORD has chosen you to stand before Him, to serve Him.

GOD BLESS.

The LORD will fight for you.

27 September 2011 .

In this materialistic world, at every side we are jammed and being targeted.

Sometimes it ends with a victorious tone, sometimes it plunges us into great depression or with mental agony.

 As children of God we should be double careful about the matters which roams around us. We have to learn to submit ourselves and our entire activities in the hands of God. You know He has the blue print of your life plan in His Hand, and He will never allow any harm to come near you  or touch you.

“For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.” Deuteronomy 20:4

“LORD your God …… fight for you” this concept reveals the fact that God is the same.

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”Hebrews 13:7-9

Now God will fight for you ,and give your enough training to fight the evil power. 

“Praise be to the LORD my Rock, 

who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.”Psalm 144:1

Read the verses below to affirm ,the fact that God has been with us in our past,  

in the present, and in future life. And He will sustain you to Glorify His name.

“You have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations because of you, for the LORD your God is He who has fought for you”. Joshua 23:3—past

“LORD your God is He who fights for you, as He promised you”. Joshua 23:10 present.

“The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace”. Exodus 14:14 -future

When we are totally lost or sunk in our hardships and adversities- our mind is blocked. We won’t trust anybody or anything. Everything seems to be dark and gloomy. We mix up things.

“Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; 
though war break out against me, even then I will be confident”. Psalm27:3

"All those gathered here will know....  that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.” 1 Samuel 17:14

God is there as your protector
You can be as cool as this Pink Anthurium

There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan 
  that can succeed against the LORD.

  The horse is made ready for the day of battle, 
   but victory rests with the LORD. Proverbs 21:30-31




GOD BLESS
