Knowing yourself as a believer

This Sunday we enjoyed a lot in church as there was prize distribution ceremony.

Today’s church preaching was done by our Pastors mother in law. She is really great and blessed lady. From 40 years she is in teaching field. At the age of 18 she started teaching. She comes from Hindu Brahmin family. But our great Lord transformed her life miraculously.

I loved the way she started preaching and she took a very common topic that as believer what we should do and what we must not do.  And she also declared that whoever will give answer in between the preaching will get prize.

The things we should not do as believer are unforgiveness, unresolved anger, selfishness, lust, idolatry and pride etc. and things which is necessary for a believer of Christ is to help the needy, go to church on Sundays, prayer for self and everyone, loving your neighbor, forgiving your enemies, reading bible daily, memorizing scriptures, spreading the gospel, respecting elderly and parents, fear GOD.

In church also she was preaching us as a teacher so that everyone is gaining knowledge and getting blessed. And finally she thought knowing ourself as a believer.

I was really blessed. :-)

Thank you for stopping and visiting my website. God bless you.

God's Promise - To love you forever

Isaiah 55:3 ³ Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Can you imagine having someone to be eternally loyal to you, someone to love you forever? For most of us, even the thought that there is an eternity just blows our mind. We can’t imagine our self being 80 years old which is much less living forever and ever and ever. But our God loves so much that he promises not only to let you live with him forever, but to love you and be loyal to you. That’s the friendship our God have for us.

God has so much confidence in who you are, who he made you to be, that he want to spend forever with you. Even if your friend had desert you, he would still love you. If you did something and hacked off everyone you know, he would be loyal to you. God has not committed himself to you for the length of your life but length of his life i.e for the eternity.

Don’t run behind the worldly things to get trapped by the devil.

Luke 21:34-36

³⁴ And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

³⁵ For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

³⁶ Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Above words are from Bible which was shared by my Pastor Sandesh this Sunday. I like to share this as this word  is for every one as we are in our end times.

Whatever you do i.e. whether you eat, drink, talk etc. just don’t do excess or over crossing your limit as you yourself will fall under the trap of devil.

Please listen to this story by my Pastor Sandesh. There were 2 birds in the train sitting on the window and were watching the people around them. People around there were rushing, as they were in hurry to reach office, to meet there relatives, someone got hurt in his arm still they were in hurry to move ahead. Watching this scene one bird ask these people in the earth are so busy as if they worried about many things in their life. Other bird answered yes these people on this earth don’t have FATHER like us who take care for us.

From this I understand we should not worry as Father in the heaven is taking care of us because we are more precious than bird. Therefore friends who come across this website or reading this remember the word which is written in bible Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Yeah I understand it is easy to give advice but to act upon the word is hard. Yes its really difficult but you can give a try and submit yourself and your worries, tension, anxiety to GOD and just feel relaxed and believe whatever will happen will happen for the best. Trust in the GOD, GOD loves you so much that God will never leave us nor forsake us. And get prepare to see the results.

The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard

20 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. ² He agreed to pay them a denarius^[a] for the day and sent them into his vineyard.

³ “About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. ⁴ He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ ⁵ So they went.

“He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing. ⁶ About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’

⁷ “‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered.

“He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’

⁸ “When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’

⁹ “The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius.  

¹⁰ So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. ¹¹ When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. ¹² ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’

¹³ “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? ¹⁴ Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. ¹⁵ Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

¹⁶ “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”

Above is the parable from Bible dear friends. Did you understand the moral behind this? Yeah! It actually means we should not bother about others; we should see ourselves not getting envious about anything and waste your precious time. But enjoy with what you have receive.

I am holding God's Hand

Isaiah 41:13 - For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, 'Do not fear, I will help you.'

In the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (Bible). The king had thrown these 3 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego guys into the fire because they would bow down to God. But the fire didn’t burn them up. And when people looked into the flames they saw four men. Well here the fourth person was JESUS.  Because he was with those guys they didn’t burn. In fact they didn’t even smell like smoke when they came out.

Well, Jesus is with us in the same way. In Isaiah he says he is holding our hand. He is with us through the fire of hard turns in your life preventing the flames from injuring you but letting the heat melt away some of the things about you that are not godly. With holding your hand he can calm you down when things aren’t going so well. If you wont let go of him, he can lead you to the place he wants you to be.

How to stay positive when Your life Stucks?

The most reason why people think there lives is stuck is that they are not living their own lives. If you ponder deeply you will find people acting  to please  others such as pleasing  family, friends and society. Understand to know who you are and what your needs are and then make choices to follow your own path.

 What are your good qualities you like about yourself? Are you funny, intelligent, sincere, generous. Try focusing on positive area of your life. You may have positive influence on other people even when you think you’re worthless.

Don’t try to find negative things about you. But make an effort  in creating yourself. When you have bad mood, you may think of negative things such as  “ I m dumb and annoying”  “I am better off dead”. “ I am ugly”,  “I wish I look different’ etc . Even though its not true. Change your mind. Look for your good features. Think about the features you love, look on greater side. Realize nobody life is easy and that there is always up and downs in life. Don’t assume that nobody cares. Every person matters to someone. You’re LIVE  for a reason.

Look in the mirror Find some beautiful things about yourself.... Do you have nice skin? nice nails? beautiful eyes? lips? Find stuff that charms to you. When you can't change something, change your attitude towards it.

Remember there is always somebody there who wants to help you. You are precious.
