Inspirational Quote: 00002

"Our God is the God of impossibilities but sometimes it is impossible to leave you without teaching a moral. The teleological approach by God is for your betterment, so don't complain/panic when He reproves."

"Gods fidelity and humans infidelity" I know few senior servants of God, who never read Bible (Gen-Rev) till date at least once. Bible is very clear that it is neither in heaven nor beyond sea but it is very near to you to observe (Deut 30:11-14). Dear God, you set life and prosperity, death and adversary before us. We know if we obey/love/walk and observe WE WILL LIVE. Nevertheless, several times we skip reading/ learning /meditating and exhorting your Word. Choosing Jobs, ministries, dealings, work, over took our spiritual nurturing. Deut 30: 19b says "CHOOSE LIFE." Dear God we choose life in every area of our life. Thank you for your admonition. Amen.

O God of Lamech. We know very less of him. He was a mysterious figure in Genesis: 4 recorded as a polygamist, killer, wild man and the poet of “SONG OF THE SWORD” (Gen 18:21-22). Bible did not record whom he killed and the reason behind it.  But we can learn something from his life. In Gen 5:30b he said “Out of the ground that the Lord has cursed this one (Noah) shall bring us relief from our work and from the toil of our hands.” He was the daddy of Noah. Parents always expect great things from their children. It is Lamech’s hope that Noah shall bring relief. He lived for 595 years after the birth of Noah. May be he confessed of his guilt, pleaded with God and asked favour on his son. Bible says, “Noah found favour in the sight of the Lord” (Gen 6:8). Dear parents, let us ask God to bless our children, pour out His choicest blessings, and to give uncommon favour. And know that your Hopes will never be cut off.

"Pray for those who persecute you, So that you may be children of your Father in Heaven" (Mat 5:44, 45). I see a great schism in our Christendom. It is reminding me of crusades during 11-14th centuries. People of God are asking /fighting /demanding for justice. As minorities, we have every right to ask and demand. But St. Paul though he was a ROMAN (citizenship) had undergone imprisonments, floggings, often near to death, lashes, beaten with rods, stoning, shipwrecked, adrift, danger from bandits-own people-GENTILES-false brothers and sisters, hungry, thirsty, and health reasons. In spite of all these hardships he made a bold statement "FOR WHENEVER I AM WEAK, THEN I AM STRONG." Where are we going? How we are going to achieve justice? How are we going to build the kingdom of God on Earth? How are we going to love our enemies? How can we claim that we are children of the most high? Please do not settle for cheap grace. HIS GRACE (costly) IS SUFFICIENT FOR US.

"Drop the matter before a dispute breaks out" Pro 17:14. Persecution is not a new concept, phenomenon, or ideology. It started when Cain killed Abel. I would say Gospel and persecution are the two sides of a coin. When Stephen gave speech to counsel was filled with Holy Spirit saw the Glory of God but people became enraged. We are hearing anti persecution cell, toll free number for anti-persecution, justice slogans, agitations, and awareness about safeguarding Christianity and so on... Jesus taught us “love your enemy and turn your cheek." I don’t think that we all need these anti persecution strategies, laws, Panels and committees. It’s just a matter of perseverance and endurance. Dear God, help us to bear the witness of love even in the time of persecution. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

God heard the prayers of Israelites and started doing His job through a long process in releasing Israelites from captivity. God sent Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh with admonitions and at the same time, he hardens Pharaohs heart. Is it a dualistic role of God? If so, why? I would say if Pharaoh Releases Israelites in the first plague itself, Moses and Aaron might have underestimated the power of God. God demonstrated His mighty power over nature and over His creation. Thus, showing HIS ALMIGHTY POWER TO THE NEWLY APPOINTED LEADERS. If we get victory in every aspect of our life in a common way, there is nothing special about it, but when we get success in an uncommon way that is special and plan of God. You are not an ordinary person and you are very special to God. Your victory is on the way. Stand still and see the power of Almighty God in your life.
