Daniel 2 Message-27.05.2023

Malachi 3:1“Behold, I send My messenger, And he will prepare the way before Me.
And the Lord, whom you seek, Will suddenly come to His temple,


Even the Messenger of the covenant, In whom you delight. Behold, He is coming,”
Says the Lord of hosts. 

The word “apostle” comes from the Greek word meaning “sent”. The web bible encyclopaedia describes as Hebrew: מֲלְאָךְ —transliteration: mal’ak –meaning: a messenger. This Hebrew word occurs 213 times in Scripture.Greekἄγγελος —transliteration:  angelos meaning: a messenger or an angel. This Greek word appears 176 times in the New Testament and usually refers to heavenly angels. (web bible dictionary)

This is the prophecy about John the Baptist which was fulfilled in Matthew 11:10 in response to the complaints of prophet Malachi, to God being unjust. John the Baptist made the way for the King of kings, announcing the arrival of the Messiah and preparing His way as mentioned in Isaiah 40:3-5. The word Before Me” indicates that the Lord Himself is coming not a prophet, the Messenger of the new blood covenant. Jesus is the divine messenger who came to announce that the Kingdom of God is at hand and repent!!  He is involved in the past, present and future- promised land, eternal life, salvation of mankind.

Dan 9:22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, “O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand. 


Here Gabriel, the heavenly messenger of one of the highest rank, visits Daniel to give insight and understanding of the vision he saw. In 1Kings19:4-8 we find an angel came and tapped the great Elijah who had just completed a great feat, was running away from threats of Jezebel and was suicidal, an angel tapped on his shoulder, provided him with food and water and asked him to energise himself for a long journey to the mount of Horeb.

2Cor 5:20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God

Here Paul says all those who responded to Jesus’s plea are representatives or ambassadors of the representing nation, the Kingdom of God and is sent by God, he has been commissioned and has no opinion of his own but speaks on behalf of the King. Paul is speaking or pleading on behalf of Christ to turn to God, be reconciled. We, the whole world is asked to reconcile and those who have turned to God, are asked to be ambassadors to plead with the lost.

Let us return to God and be the bearer of the good news!!

I Thirst

What am I really thirsting for??

I was imagining Jesus saying to  each of us

 I THIRST FOR YOU.

Come to Me, and I will fill your heart (Psalm 37:4) and heal your wounds. I will and make you a new creation, (2 Corinthians 5:17) and give you peace, even in all your trials, because I THIRST FOR YOU.

And I wonder do I really thirst the way Jesus wants me to thirst?

We must never doubt in Jesus’ mercy, Jesus’ acceptance of us, Jesus’ desire to forgive, Jesus’ longing to bless us and live Jesus’ life in us. Because Jesus THIRSTS FOR YOU AND ME.

If you and I feel unimportant in the eyes of the world, that matters not at all. For Jesus, there is no one  more important in the entire world than you and me  . JESUS THIRSTS FOR YOU AND ME.

Jesus says to each one of us everyday,

Open to Me, come to Me, thirst for Me, (John 7:37-38) give me your life – and I will prove to you how important you are to My Heart.

Don’t you realize that My Father already has a perfect plan to transform your life, beginning from this moment?

Trust in Me. Ask Me every day to enter and take charge of your life – and I will. I promise you before My Father in heaven (Luke 24:49)that I will work miracles in your life. Why would I do this? Because I THIRST FOR YOU.

And yet ,do I believe and thirst for my Jesus. 

All Jesus is asking ask of you and me is that we entrust ourselves to Him completely and He will do all the rest.

Jesus speaks to us saying:

Even now I behold the place My Father has prepared for you in My Kingdom.

 Remember each of us are a pilgrim in this life, on a journey home. Sin can never satisfy us, or bring the peace we seek. All that we have sought outside of Jesus, has only left us more empty, so you and I  must not cling to the things of this life.

Above all, we must not run from Jesus when we fall. We should go to Jesus without delay and give all our sins. There is nothing that Jesus cannot forgive and heal; so come now, let us all  unburden our soul.

We don’t need to change to believe in Jesus’ love, for it will be our belief in Jesus’ love that will change us. When we forget Jesus,  yet Jesus is seeking you and me every moment of the day – standing at the door of our heart and knocking.

Do you find this hard to believe? Then look at the cross, look at Jesus’ Heart that was pierced for you and me. Listen again to the words Jesus spoke there – for they tell us clearly why He endured all this for us and says: “I THIRST…” (Jn 19:28)

Whenever we open the door of our heart, whenever we come close enough, we will hear Jesus say to us again and again, not in mere human words but in spirit:

“No matter what you have done, I love you for My own sake. Come to Me. with your misery and your sins, with your troubles and needs, and with all your longing to be loved. I stand at the door of your heart and knock. (Rev3:20) Open to Me, for I THIRST FOR  EACH ONE OF YOU ….”

 Prayer

Father, extreme thirst, being parched, is something I can relate to. But adding to the physical torment and exhaustion was the crushing spiritual aloneness. That is beyond my experience. Thank you for your love that conquered all to save us. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Spiritual laziness

Spiritual slumber is the situation in which the believer is weak, weary and worn out. In this instance, he is too lazy to pray, fast or engage in Bible study. He finds it too boring to participate in ministry. He won’t get up early for morning prayer. He will avoid night prayers. He is always late for any work. He seldom finishes. He is full of excuses and unrealistic dreams and so on.

Proverbs 12:27 The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.

Proverbs 13:4

“The soul of the lazy man desires and has nothing. But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich”.

Signs of spiritual laziness:

  1. If we feel that fellowship is not necessary to live a Christian life that means we are spiritually lazy. Christian fellowship is a must. But it does not mean we should go to a big church with a large gathering. Troop Church in houses and workplaces is the model approved by our Lord.
  • If we assume that we know everything in the Bible and we need not read the Bible every day, then we might be spiritually lazy. It’s crucial that we read and meditate the words daily since God speaks through His Word. We should apply the word in our life.

Oh, how I love Your instructions! I think about them all day long. – Psalm 11

We should not allow pride but should be humble. When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. – Proverbs 11:2 (NIV)

  • If we feel that others are perfect and we are worthless, that is a sign of spiritual laziness. We should depend on the Holy Spirit when we are feeling low. He will strengthen us .
  • If we care more about worldly things than about heavenly care then definitely we are in spiritual laziness.Let us evaluate our priorities to see where God is fitting into our life and schedule!

Proverbs 10:4 tells us that we are to be diligent workers, not lazy. The Bible also instructs us to work with eager hands (Proverbs 31:13) and work as if we are working for the Lord (Colossians 3:23).

  • If we recite prayers without feeling the words then we are in spiritual laziness. We should understand what our intentions are. we should talk to God from our heart, prayer is nothing but conversation with God. We should feel the presence of the Holy Spirit and also feel heavenly bliss during our prayer
  • If Our life doesn’t reflect Christ and others don’t see Christ in us then it is surely a sign of spiritual laziness. We should be witnesses to others.

In this article, we have listed some of the signs of our spiritual laziness. There may be many more signs of this situation in our life. The Holy Spirit warns us whenever we face this situation He helps us to escape this trap of the devil. He guides us to regain our spiritual growth.

We should recover from spiritual laziness by our faith, courage, honesty, patience, humility, willingness, brotherly-love, integrity, self-discipline, and service.

May God strengthen us in our weakness and help us to come out of these dangerous situations and lead us to eternal life. Amen.

Ambassador for Christ

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ….

2 Corinthians 5:20

You are an ambassador for Christ! If you have made Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, you have been sent to act as a representative for Him in this world. Just as nations send ambassadors to represent their interests in other countries, you’ve been sent here to look after the interests of the kingdom of God.

Think about that. Everywhere you go you are representing the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. That’s a very high honor. It may also seem like a rather tall bill to fill. But God has equipped you to do it. He’s given you His Name and the power of His Word. He’s even put His very own Spirit inside you. And He’s given you the ability to hear and obey the directions of that Spirit.

I heard a prophecy years ago that said there would come a time when men on the earth would walk and talk and act like God. They’d be motivated by His power and His Spirit so strongly that people would say of them, “Look at those believers. They think they’re God.” “No,” the Holy Spirit said, “they are not God. They are agents of God, children of God, ambassadors of God, sent to do the works of God.”

I believe we’re living in the day and hour that prophecy was talking about. We’re seeing that army of light begin to grow.

This is no time to be half-consecrated and half-dedicated. This is the time to go all the way with God, to give Him your whole life. If you’ll do that, He’ll give you back such anointing and such power and such glory and goodness that you’ll shine for Him, as Philippians 2:15 says, as lights in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation.

Begin to think about yourself today, not as just another ordinary man or woman but as an ambassador of Almighty God. Let the interests of His kingdom be foremost in your mind and heart. Submit yourself to Him and say, “Lord, show me how to be Your representative in everything I do.”

You are an ambassador for Christ. Begin to live like it today.

Fight the good fight of faith as a soldier of Jesus Christ

A Christian faith must be as strong as a soldier of Jesus Christ. A soldier is the one who fights the battle till his death, he does not give up, he fights it on a do Or die situation. A true soldier is ready to die for his nation till the end of his career defending with all strength and might only to win. He has prepared himself mentally so also physically.

Lord Jesus when  teaching in His days said you must count the cost before you can finish the job.

  • Example 1

Luke 14:28-30 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counted the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?  Last haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,  Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

  • Example 2

Luke  14:31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulted whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? 

  • Example 3

Luke 14:32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desire the conditions of peace.

Here above it is depicted the mind of a soldier. Jesus had a mind of a soldier that’s why he overcame all the strongholds of the mind and put His thoughts of a good fight into action. You will notice never once He withdrew Himself from the battle. He made up His mind for what He was sent to do by His heavenly Father. And He did it exactly what was desired of Him by His Father. He always said He who has sent me have I done and He received an applause from His Father. Saying Here is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.

Matthew  3:17  And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

A mind of a soldier is therefore Jesus wants His disciples to put on.

What does the apostle Paul says, put on the mind of Christ. The Mind of Christ is sacrifice. So also the mind of a soldier is sacrifice.

2 Timothy  2:3-4 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

Yes, we are called to please our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore we must fight the good fight of faith with patience to yield a good fruit. You as a Christian has received faith of Lord Jesus Christ the day you were born again in His kingdom. So let us not give up the fight. For we are on the winning side for our victory is already won by our Lord and Master Jesus Christ. That’s why apostle Paul says we are victorious in Christ Jesus, we are more than conquerors.

We are called to contend for the faith.

Jude  1:3  Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

Daniel 2 Message-22.05.2023

Great Leader and Great Servant

Genesis 2:19 – 20  Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.

  • Humbleness:

God created everything – birds, animals, plants, sky, sun and man. All of them were the works of HIS hands. Despite possessing the authority to effortlessly assign names to all the animals and other living things He had brought into being, God graciously entrusted Adam with this profound task, eagerly anticipating the names he would bestow upon them. Whatever name Adam chose, it became the identity of each creature. In this remarkable display of magnanimity, God regarded Adam not merely as His creation but also as a cherished companion, treating him with profound respect and affording him the honor of naming the entire animal kingdom. God, not concerned by any sense of superiority, did not harbor thoughts such as, “I have created all things, and therefore, I alone should assign their names.” Instead, He illustrated through His own actions the essence of genuine humility that befits a true leader. By voluntarily giving credit for His awe-inspiring creations to Adam, God exemplified the virtue of humility.

  • Gives changes to fix mistakes:

Gen 3:8 -9 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”

In the wake of their transgression, God, in His omniscience, possessed complete awareness of their fall from grace. His divine understanding includes every event in the universe, extending to the minute details, such as the very number of hairs in our heads. Despite this intimate knowledge, the Lord approached them and inquired, “What have you done?” In this act of inquiry, He extended to them an opportunity to account for their actions, to express remorse and seek forgiveness. Had they chosen to genuinely repent, rather than deflecting blame and casting accusatory fingers, the outcome could have unfolded in a manner, altered by their sincere contrition.

  • Lead by example:  

When Jesus lived on earth,  Jesus exemplified a life guided by principles rather than mere words. He carried His own cross, bearing the weight of ultimate sacrifice as He offered His life selflessly for our sake. In a parallel manner, we too are called upon to make sacrifices for those entrusted to our care. We are encouraged to approach the Lord fervently, asking Him on behalf of the lives and souls of those placed under our leadership.

Mat 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.

A servant gives glory to his master:

1 chr 29:14 – 19 “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand. 15 We are foreigners and strangers in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope. 16 Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you.

In humble recognition, he abstained from harboring pride over the contributions made by himself and his people towards the construction of the temple. David’s contentment did not arise from the abundant generosity displayed by his people. Instead, he firmly believed within his heart that it was solely the Lord who gave them the means to accumulate such wealth and the heart to give everything. In his profound understanding, David acknowledged that the essence of generosity originated solely from the divine source, and thus, everything they offered rightfully belonged to the Lord. He refrained from claiming ownership or seeking personal credit for his people’s magnanimity, as he attributed the credit to the Lord, recognizing that all praise and honor were due to Him alone.

Now, let us evaluate ourselves. Do we possess the qualities of a commendable leader? Are we dutiful servants, both to the Lord and to our fellow human beings? Whether we assume the roles of a father, mother, elder sibling, manager, leader, coordinator, or hold positions such as SMP, SMLA, or speaker in AOJ, we are entrusted with the responsibility of guiding, enlightening, and uplifting those placed under our care. In this regard, we are called to emulate the example set forth by the Lord Himself, with Humbleness,  by giving chances, Leading by example,  Not taking credit but giving glory to the Almighty,  by being Happy for them, encourage and pray for the people the Lord has given us.

Daniel 2 Message-21.05.2023

SALVATION BEFORE CHRIST

we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus and not by our own efforts or works (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Grace Alone. Faith Alone. Grace alone means that God loves, forgives, and saves us not because of who we are or what we do, but because of the work of Christ.

1. Salvation was by grace through faith in the Old Testament, the same as today. They looked forward to the coming Messiah; we look back to the cross.

2. Compliance to the law of God in the Old Testament could be summed up in these words; “Do or die.” In the New Testament: “Die and do.”

3. The gospel message was given throughout the Old Testament and in the New Testament as well; from Genesis to Revelation.

4. Jesus and the apostles usually proclaimed the gospel in the context (setting) of the kingdom of God.

5. The primary purpose of the proclamation of the gospel, was so God would receive honor and glory unto Himself through the holy and righteous life of the repentant sinner. When his heart and will is changed, he reflects the character of God to those around him. “Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever”,

6. The God -centered gospel is taught throughout the Scriptures, but is often overlooked. In Ephesians 1:3-14,it mentions different aspects of our salvation; and this is usually what pastors focus on. Somehow they overlook the primary reason that God extended His grace to man; “it was to the praise of the glory of His grace.” This phrase is basically repeated in verse 12, and also in verse 14, “to the praise of His glory.” Isn’t it time we went back to the God glorifying gospel of the Scriptures?

Salvation in the Old Testament was, of course, according to the same gospel that we know today ( Gal. 3:8), though it was revealed less clearly. It was by grace through faith, apart from personal merit. Saving faith in the Old Testament, like saving faith in the New Testament, was faith in God himself. Most basically, it is generally presented as a belief that God exists, in submission to God especially in the form of believing that what God says is true (e.g. Gen. 15:6), and in trust in God as Savior. In the Old Testament, the idea of God as Savior did not appear in the fullness of the revelation as in the New Testament.

The specific content of saving faith was different at different points in time because, as time went on, God said more things. The greater the revelation God had given at any point in time, the more he expected people to believe. The point was that they believed that God was who he said he was (as far as they knew it), that they loved him, and that they trusted him to take care of them (especially by forgiving, saving, blessing, etc.). For example, Abraham believed God when God said he would bless Abraham, and Abraham was justified on this basis. We aren’t told that Abraham understood all the theological arguments regarding the means of salvation, or that he understood the relationship of faith to works, or even that he understood that he was justified on the basis of faith alone.

In a very important sense, the primary referent of our faith must be the object of our faith, namely God himself, the one in whom we have faith, rather than the content of our faith. This is in no way to depreciate the importance of recognizing all three aspects of faith: knowledge, assent, and trust. It is just to emphasize that we need knowledge of a person, not just of facts; we assent by agreeing with a person; and we trust in the truth of the gospel, but not apart from trusting the God whose gospel it is. As Calvin put it, faith is more than a “common assent to gospel history” — nothing is worth knowing except Christ (Institutes 3.2.1).

Now, none of this is to suggest that we can be saved apart from faith that includes Christ in its content: the person who has never received Christ will not be saved. (Of course, God can work miracles, and can give faith in the gospel to whom he wishes, even apart from the normal means of preaching.) But it is Christ’s divinity we worship and trust, which was present and revealed in the Old testament also in the New.

Lord there are various sects and cults raising even inside Christianity, because of various different opinions and  not preferring the truth. Ignorance of scriptures, lack of knowledge, Old testament is as important as New testament.. Old testament is the shadow foundational truth on which the new testament manifests.. Thankyou for unfolding the truths step by steps.. Lord we give you all glory.. Help us to draw nearer and nearer and to know you more.. How could a person know you more by reading and believing the Word of God.. Amen..

  GIVING

Righteous gives without ,Sparing.

Proverb 21:26

**  If it is said about a Righteous and our God is the Creator of the Righteous , then how much more He must be having a passionate and deep desire to give an overflowing one, to the righteous whom he has created in love and in his own image.

Remember what He said in John 3:16. “For God so loved the world that he GAVE..            

**  When God gave Jesus to this sinful world, there was nothing more PRECIOUS and GREATER left in heaven.He was God’s BEST.

Love and Giving cannot be separated. They are complimentary to each other like two sides of the same coin.

If you see from the world’s point of view ; it is not very easy to give. Specially when our giving is being watched by God Himself.

Believe me–When you give, God doesn’t see how much you are giving but rather how much is left in your wallets and purses.

That’s what He saw in the Temple, and commented on the giving of a poor widow who put two copper coins in the collection bag , saying “She gave more than all the wealthy people because she was putting ALL SHE HAD TO LIVE ON .Can you imagine  the Reward she must have received in heaven.

And yet some people put in the bag coins and old crumpled notes. What God said in —Zachariah 11: 13 b……

 “The handsome price at which they priced me ! the thirty pieces of silver…throw it to the potter”—-Therefore we must honor God by our giving.

When we were dead in sin, He poured out all.. his Blood ; to give us eternal life.. Redeemed us from Eternal  Condemnation.

What can a man give in exchange for his life? Jesus said,” This is my Blood given for your life..l give them eternal life. “What have we given  to God for taking our place on the Cross.

Word says,” Without shedding of Blood there’s no forgiveness.” He not only cancelled our sins but also wiped away the written code with all its Regulations which was against us.

What are we giving him for all this ?

The Word says…Give ,because we receive to give.

lt is a sin to Test God .  ** When Jesus was being tested by Satan in the wilderness he replied to him by saying “,lt is also written” Do not put the Lord your God to test.,”

But for Offering he says in Malchi 3:10 . “Bring the whole Tithe  into my house and Test me in this .if l will not open the floodgates of heaven, and pour out such blessings,  that u will not have room enough to store it. Lets not hold back but honor God by our giving .

Proverb 18: 16 A gift opens the way for the giver and ushers him into the presence of the greats.

PRAYER

 Thank you Lord for making us understand  how important it is to give generously ,trusting you for all the blessings promised in Mal:3:10.11.Amen

Using words with diligence

Matt 22:15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap Jesus in his words.

Matt 22:22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So, they left him and went away.

In this chapter, Pharisees are looking to trap Jesus legally to arrest him and kill him. So, they were acting like good people and asking Jesus about paying taxes/tithes to the temple and the Roman government. Jesus gave a great answer by telling them to show a denarius. It has Caesar’s inscription. So, he answered them, pay to Caesar what is Caesar’s and pay to God what is God’s.

Jesus’ words are very apt, to the point and extremely knowledgeable and diligent.

We also see in the book of Nehemiah, how he started to use words very carefully and diligently to convince many people to rebuild Jerusalem, starting from the King, his fellow brothers, priests, local religious leaders who were opposing, other kingdoms who were trying to destroy him, etc. He did not tell his plans directly to anyone directly of what he is going to do.

Nehemiah 2:12 I set out during the night with a few others. I had not told anyone what my God had put in my heart to do for Jerusalem.

We will all need to learn to use words very carefully and diligently to accomplish certain tasks.

Let us look at a few verses from the Bible about how we use words/tongue to bring success/failure or life/death into our lives or into others’ lives.

Proverbs 18:21: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.

James 3:5-6: “So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!

Proverbs 21:23: Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble.

Proverbs 17.28 Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.

We can generate spiritual fruits through our words/lips.

Hebrews 13:15 The fruit of our lips is giving thanks to His name.

Prayer

Our father in heaven, give us wisdom to use our words diligently and carefully so that we will give life and build. In Jesus name we ask. Amen.

Daniel 2 Message-18.05.2023

“The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out  by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord on the head of them”.  Micah2:13

            The power of God is revealed through this promise. God is a barrier breaker( chain breaker), a strong hold destroyer and a way maker.Micha prophesied that Israel’s sins were going to bring God’s stern discipline upon them. This is a warning for us today.Sin brings judgement.But the good news of the Gospel is that our Heavenly Father would appoint a person to be the people’s king who” passes on before them”. This king would lead God’s people out of  captivity. We can call this king” the breaker—the one who opens the breach”. He will lead His army out from captivity.This is God’s promise of salvation for His people.

                  Sometimes we have to go through some challenging experiences. The king who breaks through and goes on before the people, is none other than the Lord Himself. What Micah prophesied hundreds of years before the birth of Christ, has been fulfilled by Jesus Christ. He was born to set the captive free .”The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor: He hath sent  me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised”. Luke4:18

    The king , our leader goes ahead of us to remove the hurdles in our path. He has wisdom ,power and strength to remove the obstacles in our path.

“….Christ the power of God,and the wisdom of God “.  1Corinthians 1:24

He is both king and servant.He had walked the paths of suffering,leaving us an example.

       The opening of a door needs Faith.Jesus proclaimed Himself as the gate to everlasting life, the door to salvation.He is an over comer and expects us to be an over comer.Every difficulty or challenge is a gate or door that the Lord breaks open for us. “ Jesus saith unto him,I am the way the truth and the life:no man cometh unto the Father,but by me”. John 14:6

  We have to be patient. He will send His angels to help us, to break through in tight situations. We would be careful not to rely on the opinions of others or compromise with the world but to rely entirely on the promises of the Lord.

          Father God give us wisdom, power and strength to endure the challenging experiences patiently and to rely only on your promises. I pray in Jesus name, Amen
