Truth 4 the Week - Weary Part2

Topic: Weary - Part 2 😥

 Bible Verse: Isaiah 28:12 " To whom He said, “This is the rest with  which You may cause the weary to rest,” And, “This is the refreshing”; Yet they would not hear"

Message: God has provided ways to bring us out of weariness. But at times we reject the rest and comfort which God provides us. Firstly, when we indulge in sinful ways and worldly pleasures we become weary (Psalms 32:1 & Job 20:4,5). We cannot enjoy God's rest until we are willing to give up these evil ways and get cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ (Proverbs 28:13). Secondly when we don't trust in the promises & works of God we become weary and we are not receiving rest because our eyes are hidden to see the great purpose & the hand of God working behind (2 Kings 6: 13-17). So let's give up evil ways & trust God's promises at all times so that we receive His comfort and rest at all situations. God bless you

Prayer: Dear Lord help us to receive the great comfort and rest which you are giving us. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

Truth 4 the Week - Weary - Part1

Topic : Weary - Part 1 😥

 Bible Verse : Isaiah 40:29 (NIV) "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak"

 Message : We often get weary in spiritual and worldly things. Why are we getting weary? Firstly, we put the entire pressure of getting the desired result on our own head and try with our efforts. But our efforts will be in vain if God doesn't act (Psalms 127). So like Hannah we should learn to leave it to God, trust Him & do as He instructs then we will find more than the desired result in spiritual & worldly life. (I Samuel 1). Secondly when we lack waiting in prayer and meditating Bible we easily get weary. Prayer gives strength & is needed for us to stand in Faith during second coming of Jesus Christ (Isaiah 40:31 & Luke 18:1-8). Finally, Jesus never forsakes anyone who is getting weary. He calls them unto Him so that He can strengthen them (Matthew 11:28 & 12:20). God bless you.

Prayer :  Dear Lord we often grow weary. Strengthen us & Lead us. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

Truth 4 the Week - God's Protection

Topic: God's Protection

Bible Verse: Psalms 121:5 (ERV) "The Lord is your Protector. The Lord stands by your side, shading and protecting you"

Message : We all need protection from sin, sickness, failures, dangers etc. God's protection is the prime & highest above all. How does God protect His people? Firstly, God protects by giving warning. Meditating God's Word (The Holy Bible) daily we receive warnings from falling into evil ways & wrong decisions (Psalms 19:11). Secondly, God protects by giving us grace. In our weakness God's grace is more than sufficient to protect us (2 Corinthians 12:9). His grace & mercy are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23). Hence receive it daily through prayer. Finally, there are many ways God works to protect us which we don't realise many times. God sends His Angels to protect us from devil, He also protect us by watching over us, keeping us as apple of eye and many more ways (Psalms 91: 11, Psalms 17:8). God bless you

 Prayer :  Dear Lord thank you for protecting us. Help us realise the ways you protect us. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

Truth Snippets - One accord

One accord or oneness in Group Prayers

Bible Reading : Acts 1: 14 & 2:1-5 ,  

Matthew 18:. 19,20

Group prayers are more effective when they are done with oneness in heart of all who participate 

1.One accord comes through obedience to God's Word. Deciples of Jesus obeyed His Word and came in Prayer Acts : 1:14. 

2.One accord comes in name of Jesus. Ephesians 4:11 

All our differences in status, position, education, skill etc will go when each of us who gather are connected to Jesus in personal life. 

3.One accord comes through the Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 6:17 and 12:13

4.One accord comes through brotherly love and kindness Ephesians 4:. 2,3

4.1 Enquire about your Brothers

4.2 Forgive eachother Matthew 5:23,24

4.3 Listen to others prayer and pray along - Romans 12:10.

 When we don't listen & pray along we disrespect others

Truth 4 the Week - Questioning God's Protection

Topic: *Questioning God's Protection* 🤔

*Bible Verse* : Psalms 22:1 _" My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why  are  You  so far from helping Me, And  from the words of My groaning?"_

 *Message* : Nothing can harm us when there is God's protection. We see this very clearly in life of Job (Job 1:8-10). But when we go though difficult times the question arises on God's protection. Why we face trouble if there is God's protection?. Firstly, when we do not heed to God's warning given through Holy Bible & preachings  from God's Word at Churches, fellowships etc we end up in trouble. (Psalms 119:165 & James 1:23 - 25). So not just be readers or hearers of Holy Bible but meditate & follow. Finally, certain situations come into our lives for our good  so that we get a greater reward in Heaven & that our place in Heaven is protected (Romans 8:28). Though we go through suffering it will be for a shorter period, God will reveal His purpose and embrace us (Isaiah 54:7). God bless you.

 *Prayer* :  Dear Lord help us to understand your protection even when we go through tough times. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen
