Truth 4 the Week - Store Treasures in Heaven

Topic: Store treasures in  Heaven
Bible Verse: Matthew 6:20 "but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal"

Message : Many of us save our riches in earth for meeting our future needs. It is also important to save riches in heaven so that God will reward us in His coming (Revelation 22:12). When we do things for God to see and not man & do without expecting any return it will be stored as a treasure in heaven (Matthew 6:3-18). Let's meditate on 3 such actions. Firstly, pray for others in your personal time with God; since such prayers are incense before God it will be a treasure in heaven (Revelation 8:4). Secondly take care of the poor and needy around you. Since  they cannot do it back to you what you did will be a treasure in heaven (Luke 14:12-14). Finally, treat God servants & ministries through comfort, prayer, financial support etc. For such things are taken as done to God and hence will be a treasure in heaven (Matthew 10:42 & 25:40). God bless you.

Prayer: Dear Lord help us to store riches in Heaven. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen.

Truth 4 the Week - Protection from plague

Topic: Protection from plague
Bible Verse : Revelation 18:4 " And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues."

Message : We all know that there is always a punishment and curse for sin. Plagues are one among them. That's why in the above Bible verse we read how God wants his people to come out of evil ways so that they are not affected by plague. God calls everyone as His people because Jesus bore the sin, punishment and curse for every single individual in earth. If we accept our sins, humble ourselves and ask for forgiveness we will become God's people (1John 1:9). Not only that Jesus will come into our life, help us live a Holy life and will protect us from all plague (John 14:23 & Psalms 91:10). Finally, we have to pray continuously for evil things to move out of our lives society and country. Most of times we only pray when we see the curse due to evil. Ask God to show evil ways in our life daily. (Psalm 139:24). God bless you.

Prayer: Dear Lord forgive our sins and always be in our life. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus Name Amen.

Truth 4 the Week - Meaningful Lent

Topic: Meaningful Lent
Bible Verse : 1John 4:9 " In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him" 

Message : One of the important focus for Lent season is to meditate on the sacrifice of God; which is Lord Jesus Christ crucified for our sins on cross. Many know it only as a history or event ; they have not realised or understood the love of God shown in this sacrifice. Firstly, to realise this love we have to be ready to give up world & it's pleasures(1John:2:15-17). Secondly, only God can help us to realise depth of his love. For this we have to seek Him earnestly (Jeremiah 29:13). Finally, we have to see Love of God in all the blessings we receive, only then we can share this love to others. When Ten lepers were healed by Jesus only one realised the Love of God and came back to thank Him.(Luke: 17:15). When blessed do not boast on our prayers but try to understand God's love behind the answers to our prayers. God bless you.

Prayer: Dear Lord help us to realise your love for us. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen.
