Forgotten God

 *Truth 4 the Week*

Topic: *Forgotten God* 

 *Bible Verse* : Deuteronomy 8:11 " _Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day_ "

 *Message* : We forget lot of things in life. But some scenarios like forgetting God can have very adverse effects in our life. We may remember there is God but if we have forgotten His Love, His teachings, His blessings, His nature & His sacrifice then we are forgetting God & have lack of interest towards God (Malachi 1:1-8 & 3: 13,14). Secondly, when we forget God & depart from Him we face the punishment for our sins, we may not be covered under His mercy or Grace because God will turn His face away & forget us & our children (Hosea 1:2-9 & 4:6). Finally, we can always remember God if we whole heartedly meditate His Words, Testimonies, wonders, sacrifice etc.. We should speak about them, share with our children so that we remember the Lord our God (Deuteronomy 6:5-21). God bless you.

 *Prayer* : Dear Lord help us not to forget You. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

Holy Desires

 *Truth 4 the Week*

Topic: *Holy Desires*

 *Bible Verse* :  Psalm 20:4 " _May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed_ "

 *Message* : A true desire comes from heart & if it's always evil or worldly then there needs a change, which can only be given by Jesus (Psalm 51:10). Firstly, desire God's word which is the Holy Bible. We will have light to our path, comfort in sorrow, protection from sin & understand a living God when we desire God's Word (Psalms 119:97, 9, 92, 105 & Hebrews 4:12). Secondly, desire for God's presence; we will find Joy & Confidence at any situation & never feel lonely. Whenever we seek Him alone or in group we will find Him (Matthew 6:6, 18:20, Psalms 27:3,4 , 139:7 & John 14:18).  Finally, desire Heaven where there is no more sorrow or tears (Psalms 23:5, John 14:2,3 & Revelation 21:4). Never desire or think of hell but set your treasure on Heaven so our heart will always long to be in Heaven (Matthew 13:42 & 6:21). God bless you.

 *Prayer* : Dear Lord sanctify our desires . Draw us close to you. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

Obstacles to return to God

 *Truth 4 the Week*

Topic: *Obstacles to return to God* 

 *Bible Verse* : Jeremiah 3:22 _"Return, you backsliding children, And I will heal your backslidings.”_

 *Message* : We all have sinned & went far away from God (Psalms 14:3 & Romans 3:23). There are some obstacles for us now to turn back to God. Firstly, the obstacles brought by devil in form of sins, lies, hard heartedness etc (Hosea 5:4,5, John 8:42-47). Without true heart of repentance, faith & love we cannot return to God (Hosea 5:6,15, Isaiah 29:13, Hebrews 11:6). So bind first the devil & his works in Jesus name (Mark 3:27). Secondly, people in authority & false teachers are used by devil to turn us towards fake god's (Hosea 5:10, Deuteronomy 13: 1-4). Pray for our spiritual eyes to be opened so that we turn to the true God (Ephesians 1:18). Finally, we are just one true prayer away for turning back to God. Also when we pray for others God can use us to bring them back (Mark 2:3-5 & 1John 1:8-9). God bless you. 

 *Prayer* : Dear Lord help us to return back to you. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

We Shall Overcome

 *Truth 4 the week* 

Topic: *We shall overcome*

*Bible Verse* : 1 John 5:4 " _For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith_ "

 *Message* : We often feel down when surrounded by world of sin, sickness, temptations, false teachings etc. We can still overcome & enter Heaven. Firstly, through Jesus Chust we receive the Holy Spirit of God who reminds us that we are Children of God & not of world (Romans 8: 16 John 14:17, 18). This is a reminder of our righteousness, authority & responsibility as children of God (Isaiah 52:11, 12, Romans 8:17). Secondly, through the Holy Spirit we can overcome the evil works & thoughts of flesh (Romans 8: 5, 13). Always feed your Spiritual being & not the weakness of flesh. Then we will be strong in Spirit & use the spiritual armour to fight against devil (Ephesians 6.10-17). Finally, use your authority in faith, for nothing shall be impossible, in faith (Matthew 17:20) So grow in faith daily. God bless you

 *Prayer* : Dear Lord help us to overcome & be victorious. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen
