Topic: Wait for God (The Blessing)
Bible Verse: Romans:8:18
"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."

Message: At the end of our wait God will provide a double portion of Joy & blessing (Is:61:7) which is more than what we hoped for. He will not add sorrow to the blessing (Prov:10:22) & no one can snatch the Joy from you (Jhn:16:22). Secondly, you will understand the meaning for your wait at the end (Deu:8:16 & Prov:8:28) you will know the purpose of the ways you are led by God & will glorify Him. Finally, Holy Spirit is leading us daily towards the blessing & he will make our eyes see the blessing of God (Luk:2:22-38). So let's stand in faith each day because soon God will end your sorrow & wait (Is:60:20 & Luk:18:8). God bless you

Prayer: Dear Lord help us to stand in faith & receive the blessing which you have in store for us. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

Truth 4 the Week
Topic : Waiting for God (Do part)
Bible Verse: Isaiah:40:31 "but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint"

Message: As we wait for God we should be aware of what we have to do during wait. First we should trust God, His name, power, word etc.(PS:27:13,14). Since we do not know the abundance of His goodness for us & His will (PS:31:9 & 1Corin:13:9) we have to trust Him completely. Second, we should realise God is with us in our wait & gives us new strength (Is:40:29 & Mat:12:20). Bible says Jesus wept along with Mary & Martha during their wait for miracle on death of Lazarus (John:11:35). He has promised not to leave us as orphans in our wait (John:14:18). Finally, we should never give ourselves to evil ways in our wait because God is a righteous judge (Mat:24:49-51). So we have to be faithful & true to Him who is with us always. God bless you

Prayer: Dear Lord as we wait for you help us to trust & obey you. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

Truth 4 the Week - Waiting for God (Why Part)

Truth 4 the Week
Topic : Waiting for God (Why Part)
Bible verse : Hab:2:3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.

Message : Bible records lot of events on waiting for prophecies & promises of God. We often have the question of 'Why?' when the waiting comes to our lives. First we should realise God is never late he acts on the appointed time till His will is accomplished (2 Pet:3:9). In wedding at Cana we see Jesus asking mother Mary to wait for His time (Jhn:2:4). Since we donot know God completely we donot understand His time & will completely (Rom:11:33-36). Second, wait time is till we grow & reach a faith level(Rom:8:20-25)Jarius, Martha & Mary & many had to wait for miracle till their faith level is increased. Third, there is a wait till enemy & his works are destroyed (Heb:1:13) baby Jesus staying away till death of evil kings & wait for answer to Daniel's prayer are examples of wait till enemy is destroyed (Dan:10:12,13 & Mat:2:20)

Prayer: Dear Lord in our wait help us to understand & grow in you more. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

Truth 4 the Week - Serving God

Truth 4 the Week
Topic : Serving God
Bible Verse:Joshua:24:15
"But as for me and my house we will serve the Lord"

Message: God has delivered us from sins, given us blessings & now it's important for us to be a blessing to others. Only God can make us a blessing to others when we are ready to serve Him (Zec:8:13). So first our willingness to serve God is from seeking His face more than His hand (PS:27:8). We are mostly seeking God's hand for our blessing & not His face for knowing His desire & will. Cast all your cares & need to Him so that you will be available to seek His face & get His need (Mat:11:28-30) Secondly we should be obedient to Masters command which is given through His Word & Holy Spirit. God will reveal more of himself only to those who obey Him(Jhn: 14:21). Finally we have to be faithful in serving our Master till the end; it's not one time commitment it's till His Second coming ; Bible says blessed will be such servant whom the Master finds faithful (Mat : 24:45,46). God bless you

Prayer: Dear Lord help us each day to serve you faithfully. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen
