Truth 4 the Week - Do not yoke with unbelief

Truth 4 the Week
Topic : Donot Yoke with Unbelief
Bible Verse: 2Corinthians:6:14 "Donot be yoked together with unbelivers"

Message: Many times we get yoked  into sufferings due to our works of unbelief. One of the main reason for this is we give ourselves to evil ways of world & then suffer which is of no profit (2Pet:2:20,21) We should not commit sin by misusing the freedom & grace given through Jesus,(Rom:6:1,2). Secondly, when we don't take up God's yoke we get yoked with world. Jesus said to follow Him one should deny himself &  take-up cross. (Mat:16:24). Also yoke of God is light (Mat:11:30); because He helps us to carry. (2Corin:6:10). St Paul & Silas could Praise God  even when they were beaten up because they were carrying yoke given by God. Finally, we should not deny power of God working in us (2Tim:3:5). God also gave us Spirit of power through whom we can overcome any situation (2Tim:1:7). God bless you.

Prayer: Dear Lord help us not to get yoked with works of unbelief. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

Truth 4 the Week - Message of Cross

Truth 4 the Week
Topic: Message of Cross
Bible Verse: 1Corinthians:1:18" For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God"

Message: As a believer it is important that we focus & meditate on the message of cross. Now we have the question of why & what is the message of the cross. Firstly, God had displayed the full extent of His love on the cross (John:3:16). So if we do not focus on love at cross we end focussing on worldly love (1John:2:15). Love of God helps us to crucify daily on cross the desires of world & flesh (Galatians:5:24 & 6:14). Secondly, the love of God on the cross helps us to walk through & overcome challenges in life (Romans:8:37). We will not grow weary & loose heart even at trouble times if message of cross is our meditation (Hebrews:12:3). Finally, cross reminds us of the victory over devil & sins (1Corinthians:15:57). It reminds us to put our trust on God's grace & not on our wealth or fame or strength. (Philippians: 3:9-21). God bless you

Prayer: Dear Lord teach us more of your love on cross. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

Truth 4 the Week - Getting Prepared

Truth 4 the Week
Topic: Getting Prepared
Bible Verse:Mathew:24:37 " As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man"

Message: Bible signs Noah's days for 2nd coming of Jesus & for our preparation. It's important we get prepared to meet our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ (Revelation:1:3,7). Our acts of preparation is exhibition of our faith (James:1:18-20). Noah did exactly that by obeying God's word. When we put into practice as instructed by God's word we get prepared else we are seeing our mistakes but not correcting it (2Timothy:3:16,17 & James:1:22-25). Secondly, we have to safeguard the good deposit which God has given through God's Strength (2Timothy:1:14 & 2:21 & James:1:21). Noah safeguarded his holy life in a evil world. Lots wife loved the world & it's desires hence couldn't be saved from wrath even when grace was given (Luke:17:32). Finally, just like Noah prepared his family we too should prepare others for 2nd coming of Jesus (2Timothy:2:25,26). God also expects us to stand in gap & pray for others (Ezekiel:22:30)

Prayer: Dear Lord prepare us and all around us for your 2nd coming. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

Truth 4 the Week
Topic: Name of Jesus
Bible Verse: Philippians:2:9-11 " Therefore God exalted Him (Jesus) to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name .. "

Message: Firstly, those who believe in name of Jesus are saved, healed & delivered from all evil, they also deliver others (Mark:16:17,18 & Jhn:1:12). For there is no other name by which mankind can be saved (Acts:4:12). Because name of Jesus means He bears our sins & give us victory (Mat:1:21). Secondly, the name God is a strong tower of refuge (prov:18:10). Children of God should & can call on his name always (PS:91:16). Moreover whatever we ask in Jesus name will be provided. But for those who misuse name of Jesus for selfish or evil gains will perish like sons of sceva (Acts:19:13-17). Finally, donot be deceived by false prophets & preachers who come in name of Jesus. (Mat:24:5). You will identify them by their bad fruits (Mat:7:16). We who call on Jesus name should bear good fruits (Mat:8:21-24). God bless you.

Prayer: Dear Lord thank you for giving us the right to call on your name always. Help us to obey you & give good fruits. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen
