Truth 4 the Week - Unknown God

Truth 4 the Week
Topic : Unknown God
Bible Verse Acts:17:23 "I even found an alter with this inscription To The Unknown God. Therefore the one whom you worship without knowing; Him I proclaim to you"
Message: When St Paul was at Athens he found this inscription of Unknown God and he preached about God. Many of us know Jesus as a character in Biblical history or as a God worshipped by our forefathers. Many have not experienced Jesus in their lives; hence God remain unknown to them  The experiences of talking with God, feeling His presence, walking with Him still remain alien to them. Bible says taste and see that the Lord is good (Ps:34:8) & God also right from creation of world is willing to talk with mankind (Heb:1:1 & Ps:91:15). He is knocking at our hearts door (Rev:3:20) So first we have to open our hearts to Jesus & give full control to Him (John:14:23) He will come in and become our father, friend and everything (John:15:14) Second we have to give our time in to listen to Him through prayer (Jam:1:19-22) Seek & you will find him (Deu:4:29) Third ask for greater heavenly gifts the you may know God & understand him more daily (John:16:24) God bless you.
Prayer: Dear Lord let's know you more and worship you. Continue to speak with us . In Jesus name Amen

Truth 4 the Week - Faith in God

Truth 4 the Week
Topic : Faith in God
Bible Verse Hebrews:11:6
"And without faith it is impossible to please God"
Message: We believe in God and in his ways through the instructions received from Word of God, Preachers of Word, & the Holy Spirit (Rom:10:17, John:16:9) But Faith is demonstration of this belief through works. Faith without works is dead (Jam:2:26). There is difference between belief and faith; Even demons believed in God and they shouted Jesus is Son of God. Let's look at how a person gets saved he has to believe the word, through his works get rid of sins and have faith (Eph:2:8). We see in lives of God's people like Abraham, Noah, and many who had faith into works. Secondly, through faith we become pleasing to God and our works should be testified by God (Heb:11:4-6 & IJohn:5:7). The testimony given by God is true and is above all(IJohn:5:9 & John:5:31-38). Third, we live in a world which is getting more evil and filled with trials and temptations to be righteous we need faith with works (IJohn:5:5). Through faith we are gaurded in God's power (IPet:1:5). Bible says the Just shall live by faith (Heb:10:38). So let's seek Jesus who is perfector of our faith (Heb:12:2) & who is able to present us blameless and Holy (Jude:24). God bless you
Prayer : Dear Lord help us to have faith as you desire. Mould us daily. Continue to speak with us.In Jesus name Amen

Truth 4 the Week - Praying for others

Truth 4 the Week
Topic : Praying for others
Bible Verse Ezekiel:9:4
And the Lord said to him, "Pass through the city, through Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all abominations that are committed in it"
Message : In this week's Bible verse we see how God values the prayers made by people because of the sins in their country. God search for people who will stand in the gap and pray for others (Ez:22:30). Many of us pray for ourselves but not for families, friends, neighbours, state & country. Why should we pray for others. First it's God's desire that we pray for others (I Tim:2:1-3) God loves everyone he shed his precious blood on cross for all mankind. He wants everyone to be saved & to know the truth. Second, praying for others builds love and harmony with others (Mat:5:44,45) If we love others we need to carry eachothers burden & also support them in prayers (Gal:6:2 & Eph:6:18) We are all parts of one body in Christ. When any part of body suffers others to suffer with it.(ICor:12:26) Third, God reveals his answer & prophecy to those who earnestly pray for others. (Jer:33:3) We see this in lives of Daniel, Jeremiah , Nehamiah etc So let's pray for one another. God bless you.
Prayer : Dear Lord help us to pray for each other through your guidance. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

Truth 4 the Week - Offering

Truth 4 the week
Topic : offering
Bible Verse Psalm:116:12 "What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me"
Message : Bible records alot of offerings done by mankind which was pleasing to God like offering of Abel, Noah, a widow lady etc; also offerings which did not please Him like that of Israelites , annaniah etc. How to present an offering which will please God. First our offering should be without blemish (Mal:1:7-9) which means God will not accept an offering with evil heart (Is:1:13), with enemity on brotherin (Mat:5:23,24), without love(ICor:13:3), without Thanksgiving (PS:116:17) second we should give the best to God just like the poor widow who offered the best when others offered out of abundance (Luk:21:4) Third we should remember that Jesus offered himself as a sacrifice for us (Heb:10:12) David says for all that God has done we cannot return anything  equal but lift the cup of salvation and call on his name. Let's offer our life as a living sacrifice and then present our offerings of wealth. God bless you.
Prayer : Dear Lord help us to always remember your sacrifice on cross and present our offerings acceptable in your sight. Continue to speak to us in Jesus name Amen

Truth 4 the Week - Prayer

Truth 4 the Week
Topic : Prayer
Bible Verse :Matthew:26:41 "Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak"
Message: Prayer is an essential part of our lives. Prayer is to talk with God. Let's meditate on few points about prayer. When we pray we should first believe & have faith that God will answer us and do a miracle; If we doubt we cannot receive anything (Jam:1:6,7) Second we should not give up our prayers until we receive a blessing or an answer. For God will surely answer all who wait for him in prayer(PS:40:1) also he will fulfill his revelation & word (Ha:2:3) Third we have to pray like Jesus. Some of the words of Jesus on cross were short Prayers. Jesus prayed to forgive all who persecuted him. We need to bless & pray for all who curse or harm us only then we can forgive them(Rom:12:14) Finally we have to pray at all times in Holy Spirit (Eph:6:18) because Holy Spirit guides us in what to pray for and He prays with goarnings as per the will of God (Rom:8:26,27)
Prayer: Dear Lord guide us through your Holy Spirit in our prayers & help us to wait in faith for your answer. Continue to speak with us in Jesus name Amen
