He gives grace to the humble. Proverbs 3:34 b

But He gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” James 4:6

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. 1 Peter 5:6

Humility is the prerequisite quality of a Christian. Does it mean that he should look poor, disheveled and needy before others, though he can put up a decent appearance. Not at all.  That is false humility or a pretense of it. Humility is an attitude and a mental attribute of accepting the sovereignty of God and walking in submission to His love and directions; according to His precepts and will.  Walking with God is inclusive of love and respect for others, as they are His children. That’s the reason the Bible exhorts us to submit to each other in Godly love.

In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 1 Peter 5:5-6

The first sin was pride which happened in heaven.

You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones. You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings. Ezekiel 28:14-17

Beware of pride.

Pride goes before a fall.

David was called a man according to God’s own heart. God called him so. God knew him  as one who is humble before God.

After removing Saul, He made David the king of Israel.. God testified concerning him:

 ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’ Acts 13:22

David had a heart for God. He had human weaknesses. But he loved God and trusted Him. Whenever he realised his mistakes and sin he sincerely repented and cried out for forgiveness.

My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise. Psalms 51:17

This realization is great in his relationship with God. David was king and had authority. But he was not arrogant. He gave due respect to King Saul as he was the anointed of the Lord.  Even when Shimei uttered reproachful words against David he didn’t strike back telling that the Lord had allowed it.

In Luke 18 we come across two people, a Pharisee and a tax collector who came to the temple to pray. Pharisee appreciated his own position and self-righteousness and assessed himself superior to the tax collector. But the tax collector humbled himself before the Lord and cried out for mercy.

“I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Luke 18:14

Let’s see what st. James says

But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (6-7)

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.(10)

James 4:6-7, 10

The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

Matthew 23:11-12

Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

John 13:14-17

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:5-11

Who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. Philippians 3:21

Prayer

Loving heavenly Father, we are sorry for being arrogant and proud at times. Help us to come closer to You Lord with a broken and contrite heart. Forgive us Lord for forgetting Your sovereignty and our helplessness. Let us be always thankful for your support and provisions in spite of our lack of gratitude.

SECRET ANSWER TO PRAYER

You know that Jesus gave us the no. 1 secret to always pray and to always get your prayers answered. Jesus said, in the gospel of Matthew.

“But when you pray, go into your room, and when you shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.”

Matthew 6:6

In this there are seven secrets to answered prayer that we totally miss.

“But you, when you pray,” In that it says, “when you pray”.  It doesn’t say if you pray.  That means every person is called to pray every day. At least 2½ hours: Recommended!

“Go into your room”. That means you need to have a place that you consistently go in, with the purpose and intention to seek God and pray. That is the secret place.

“And when you have shut the door”. This is like physically getting alone and becoming quiet and also removing yourself from every distraction so that you quieten your soul and begin to hear from the Spirit of God.

        How do you quieten your soul? Read Isaiah 26:3

“You will keep him in perfect  peace, whose mind stayed on You.”

The Lord himself will quieten your soul when.  you are in the secret place.

“Pray to your Father who is in the secret place”. You are not praying to Jesus or the Holy Spirit, rather you are praying to God the Father in Jesus name by the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Remembering Jesus promise in the gospel of (John 14:13-14) “And whatever you ask in My name that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.

“And your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly” (Matthew 6:6)

“And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do.  Heathen means Gentiles, “For they think that they will be heard for their many words. (Matthew 6:7)

Therefore, do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him” (Matthew 6:8)

Then Jesus thought the “Lord’s Prayer” in this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen

Testimony:

Our eldest son and his family were down on a short holiday in Goa, last two weeks. Then they returned to the UK on 16^th of this month (April 2023).

Two days later, early morning, at around 3.30 am local time, we got a call saying that the baby who is three months old, started vomiting her feeds. Soon after her father got the same attack and hours later his wife and son got the same problem. It was probably a viral attack.

We prayed online and said the “Lord’s Prayer”, the “Our Father”, and fasted. Today the 20th April 2023, in the afternoon we got a call that everyone of them is fine, and this was confirmed through a video call. All praise and glory to God Almighty. We experienced the power of deliverance through the prayer “Our Father”, Jesus thought. Amen.

We love because he first loved us.

1 John 4:19

• UNCONDITIONAL LOVE – AGAPE

We love him because HE first loved us.

 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

Acts 4:12

JESUS who involved himself in our life and opened our eyes to receive the salvation. we never work for this salvation. Really, I felt sometimes what I can give him for this much of Love. I belonged to a typical Hindu family worshipping God and singing many slogans. I strongly practised by my parents to have faith to that God. I learnt more things from my family like Love to God, Truthful to God, Respect to God but without knowing who the real God is. My soul was searching a God who can speak with me. Many days I stare to my god Idols for a long time whether it will speak to me. It never happened in any day.

 The true God of helpless people who I seek speak with me when I was in a helpless situation. I feel his presence, I hear his voice first and the voice of God was WILL YOU TRUST ME. I could not answer since my heart is full of worries. Again, HE ASKED WILL YOU TRUST ME.MY EYES WERE FILLED WITH TEARS.I REPLEID GOD, I DON’T KNOW HOW TO WORSHIP YOU AND TO READ THE BIBLE. From that day onwards I came to know there is a speaking God who will speak to us without any invitation. JESUS IS A REDEEMER TO ALL THE HELPLESS PEOPLE.

Listen! My beloved!  Look! Here he comes, leaping across the mountains,  bounding over the hills.

Song of Solomon 2:8

• INTIMACY WITH GOD

RELATIONSHIP with God is very important in our spiritual Life. King David never forget he is a shepherd throughout his life. He always confesses to God and maintain a good relationship with God. When God raised us to a certain growth in our spiritual life, we should always confess that he is owner of our all-good deeds. Pride is only thing which breaks the relationship with God immediately.

Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.

Proverb 22:4

Sol.Jothi Kumari

In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

We remember these verses in our difficulties. Let us see the background of this verse when Jesus was saying it to the disciples. The disciples were with Jesus for three whole years and they were blessed abundantly. They had no worries in life as everything is taken care by Jesus. The disciples had big dreams and hopes but these words came to shatter all dreams the disciples had. The chapter starts Jesus explaining all the struggles the disciples going to face very shortly after the cross.

They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. 

John 16:2

In our life are we expecting only blessings or accepting the struggles of the world?

Now lets see why there is struggles in the world. When Adam & Eve sinned , it separated them from God & gave satan the power over them . Yes sin separates us from God & gives way for Satan to enter our life. Satan has no control over the nature or anything on this world but he can control people when they fall in sin

This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child

1 John 3:10

There are only two categories of people in the world as per scripture , The Satan creates selfish people who by their selfishness, destroys the world . A few years back we never heard many diseases or people dying after eating a meal in hotels. But now we see all these because Satan controls people who does selfish things to get profit in their business . We see immoral relationship & people with no love committing all the crimes in this world. There are struggles in this world , health issues, deaths, murders, cheating, breakups or fights in families but it is not from God but by Satan controlling the people to do it .

But in the midst of all this struggles we can win since our Lord who won the world is with us.

But how do we win? Jesus said “Carry your cross“

A famous preacher who is known very well in South India once shared a testimony of his life . He was disabled when he was 5. He was very sad all through his school & college days when he saw his fellow students playing & enjoying life. But when he came to Jesus after college days he understood that this was the cross given to him to carry. He said God is powerful to heal me completely but I don’t expect God to cure me because it is my cross which I have to carry in this life. God has now blessed his life by saving lakhs of people & led them to Salvation & kept him blessing for others.

There is a parable of a guy carrying a heavy cross in his shoulder & walking . A Satan in the form of a man came to him & said why are you carrying such a burden you give it to me I will lesser it for you he said. He gave his cross to him. Satan shortened the length of the cross & gave it to him and now the guy was very happy to carry it, because now the length of the cross is less. He started his journey of life. When he came close to heaven he saw a big river to cross to reach heaven. He saw how people were crossing it . They put the cross as a bridge to cross the river. When he put his cross since the length was short the cross fell in the river & he lost his way to heaven.There are no shortcuts and ways which we think are easy but they make us lose our paths completely.

There are struggles in this world but lets carry our cross given to us & win the world holding on to Jesus. Amen

Faith without obedience is no faith.

Without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6)

If we do not hold the unwavering belief that our Heavenly Father has plans and blessings of great goodness in store for us, we will be unable to obey Him. Although many of us have been promised much by the Lord, few of us have borne witness to the fulfillment of these promises. The root cause of our disappointment may lie in our own unbelief, which breeds disobedience. God tests us in the crucible of life, as He would refine gold, in order to purify us before we arrive at the promised land. And the crucial step in passing these tests is to submit ourselves in obedience to His will. Without complete trust in our Heavenly Father, we will lack the necessary faith to follow His commands.

Abraham, the faithful servant of the Lord, received a divine promise. To demonstrate his unwavering faith, he obeyed the Lord, left his homeland and settled in a foreign land. The Lord blessed him and Sarah with a son, Isaac, as promised. However, the Lord then asked him to make a tremendous sacrifice to test his heart – to offer his only son as a burnt offering.

He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” (Genesis 22:2 NIV)

Despite the great difficulty of this task, Abraham had unshakable faith in the Lord, believing that He could resurrect Isaac to fulfill the promise. Thus, he was ready to obey the Lord’s command, showing that his faith was unbreakable. His faith brought obedience and the fulfillment of the promise.

When the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt, the Lord promised to deliver them from bondage and lead them to a land of milk and honey. However, when they reached the Red Sea with the Egyptian army behind them, they found themselves trapped and without an escape. Despite the promise they had received from the Lord, they began to doubt His ability to save them.

They also complained to Moses, “Wasn’t there enough room in Egypt to bury us? Is that why you brought us out here to die in the desert? Why did you bring us out of Egypt anyway? 12 While we were there, didn’t we tell you to leave us alone? We’d rather be slaves in Egypt than die in this desert!” (Exodus 14:11-12)

They saw the impossible before them and lost faith, causing them to complain against the Lord. Many times the Israelites didn’t trust the Lord and disobeyed him. All of them didn’t see the promise but died in the wilderness except Joshua and Caleb. Israelites’ unbelief caused disobedience and brought death.
In the Garden of Gethsemene, Jesus fervently prayed to the Father, asking Him to remove the suffering that He knew lay before Him. Though Jesus wished for the suffering to be taken away, He ultimately surrendered to the Father’s will.

Abba,[a] Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” (Mark 14:36 NIV)

Initially, it appeared that the Father had not answered Jesus’ prayer, and He faced death on the cross. Nonetheless, Jesus trusted the Father even when His prayers seemed unanswered. He obeyed the Father’s will and faced His suffering with unwavering faith. On the third day, the Father raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand, giving Him dominion over everything. Jesus’ faith led him to obedience and fulfillment of the promise.
The path to the Lord’s promises is not always smooth or easy. Like Abraham and Jesus, we must obey the Lord’s commandments and trust Him wholeheartedly, even when the circumstances around us seem impossible. We must believe that the Lord who has made the promise will fulfill it, and this faith will cause us to obey and the fulfillment of the promise.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV)

Prayer
Father, give us a new heart and a renewed mind, that we may trust in you with all our heart and submit to your will, allowing you to make our paths to our promised land straight. Amen

JESUS  HAS  ALL  POWER

After His Resurrection, Jesus these Words :

“All powers in heaven and earth has been  given under me. Therefore go and make disciples in all nations . And be sure of this : l am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Mt 28:18

      The word “POWER” in the Bible always means power to Rule, to take Dominion and  Authority. ALL simply means that the devil has none. .Through His death,  Jesus has dethroned him.

“l am the first and the last,l died but see l am alive forever have the keys of death and the grave.”

Rev 1: 17,18.

JESUS Gave Power To Believers:–

He gave the same power and Authority to His disciples and believers

The70 disciples He sent returned with great joy saying ” Lord even the demons submit to us in your name And Jesus said to them” Yes”, !  I saw Satan falling from heaven like a lightening flash. These signs shall follow those who believe. Mark 16 :17.  So we have no reason to fear demons, it is they who tremble in our presenc. It is most important to know who we are in Christ Jesus.                                

^{If your name is written in Heaven ,it   will be known in hell .!Those who turn away from the Lord or don’t believe in Him will be written in the  earth. Because they have turned away from the spring of the Living Water.Earthly powers and positions are for a moment when compared to eternity.}

PURPOSE OF GOD:–

God has a purpose in our lives. Our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life to evangelize the earth. The devil knows it and trembles .We have authority on earth. But we have to have a childlike Faith and right relationship with Jesus. God delights  in using His children to defeat the enemy. He chose a young shepherd to slay the giant Goliath. He has chosen poor,foolish and weak to shame the rich and wise.It means God can choose any of His children to defeat the devil if they know who they are in Him.                  

DEVIL’S WEAPON IS DECEPTION:—

  The reason for so many defeated Christians is  DECEPTION of devil. He deceives by his lies. Jesus said “ “He is the father of all lies “. If we believe his lies as Eve did in the garden of Eden, then he will gain a foothold in our lives to destroy ; if there’s no resistance from us.lt we become weak ,his next step is to accuse us , condemn us and make us feel guilty to hide from the Holy God; instead of Repenting and asking for Forgiveness, forgetting that He is our loving and forgiving Father.

Testimony :–

Jesus was crushed , broken ,derided , beaten and humiliated before he was asked to carry a heavy and rugged cross to be brutally, mercilessly nailed on it for sins of the wholeworld.

Prayer:–

Thank you Lord for that pain, sorrow and slights you bore and the heavy price you paid on that Cross where our names were written .We repent of all our misdeeds ,please forgive us Lord , our manyfold sins and mistakes ,in your Holy name we pray.  Amen.

How to act when we are disappointed. What does bible say  about Disappointment?

“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.

Psalm 34:17-19

 All of us  are disappointed over many matters. Everyday  we face troubles. But the  Lord is close to the brokenhearted and  brings peace during  the times of pain and suffering. God Cares about Our Disappointment and Worry

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. “

1 Peter 5:6-7

In spite of  hard work, sometimes our  efforts are not successful .During that period  We should lookup on God for his intervention to guide us.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”

Jeremiah 29:11-13

God never forgets us and  is  listening to us always. Through disappointment our lord restores us  and makes strong, firm and steadfast. 

1 Peter 5:10-11 .

Disappointment is temporal. God will restore us.  He will make us strong, firm, and steadfast for our growth and His glory.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Isaiah 55:8-9

_{God has a plan even in our disappointment.} 

Let us thank our Lord for His  promise of a glorious future. During disappointment we should surrender ourselves to God. He will strengthen us.we will become wise to deal any challenge under  any circumstance .so let us not murmur against God when we are disappointed. God allows us to work through these painful moments and guides us to lead a victorious life on earth and also to enter  his kingdom . Let us thank God for being with us through  day and night and  carrying  us in his hands throughout our life.

How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

Psalm 13:1

This is a psalm penned by King David, a psalm of transition, in discouragement and despair, when he was in trouble. Have you ever asked this question to God at any time, have you felt whether He still loved you or has forgotten you or how long do I wait, am fed up. Oh, I have, many times, even recently, often I just heard silence. The question is repeated four times, so David must have been desperate for a deliverance, great anxiety, while he waited wondering will God turn up? He thought God must have been so busy that He forgot David.

    2 Peter 3:8 says with the Lord one day is as 1000 years and 1000 years as one day. 2 Peter 3:9 says that God is not slack concerning his promises towards us but our timing is not His timing, He is working His redemptive purpose in us. This is why in Proverbs 3:5 (TPT version). Note here we are asked to TRUST God like we would when we never check a chair’s legs before sitting, we just take for granted that we are safe, like when a baby jumps fearlessly into a father’s arms, with full confidence, not on our opinions. And, we are asked not to make our own decisions but be INTIMATE with God in all our matters. He will lead us.

    Let us visit Abram’s tent, he was 75 years old when God called Him promising (Gen 12:1-3) to make Him a great nation and his wife Sarai was well known as “barren” Gen 11:30. Abram had his own plans and he thought his servant Eliezer could be his heir, but God sabotaged that plan (Gen 15:4) and made him count the stars, so numerous would be his offspring. He must have gone around telling people what God told them and now years passed by as each year dawned, they thought, this year we would have an offspring. Sarai finally said, it’s pointless waiting so let Hagar be the surrogate mom and Abram at age 86 thought that’s a perfect idea and without consulting God, he resolved his childlessness, which messed up matters. Abram was 99 and Sarai 89 when God changed their names to Abraham (Father of nation) and Sarah (princess) and a year later Isaac was born. That was an impossible wait, God was teaching them that He is God and He can do the impossible, if He has spoken something He is well able to do it. God expects us His children to live by faith, the “just shall live by faith.”

 In my own personal experience I have realized, sometimes God is putting us through a process like he trained Joseph to take up a position as second to Pharaoh, sometimes it is because God wants us to be “Still and know that HE IS GOD!” He waits sometimes until our prayers get desperate which shows our helplessness and we turn to God to take care of our matters. He has always answered for my ” How long?” questions,  transforming me, spiritually building me, enlightening me , and always arriving faithfully to help me out of the situation. So, if you are in this state of mind, don’t hesitate to pour out your heart to our Father, He is patient, loving and caring.

Sol Lalitha Menon

But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him “

– Jeremiah 17: 7-10

 

We are so blessed that we have a Living and Loving God, who is always present to help and protect us. But sometimes we can forget that we need to “trust in the Lord with all our heart and not lean on our own understanding”, according to Proverbs 3:5-6.

         We sometimes try to do everything in our lives according to our own will, desires, and intelligence. Because we think we are self-sufficient, or we live in a culture which expects us to give rather than to receive. The worry of getting proper children’s education, their well-being, marriage, worries about finances, health, the future -slowly erodes upon our peace and happiness. We are living a worldly life of social media which is fraught with stress, anxiety, hardships, health problems and lack of peace. When we try to navigate all these meandering ways on our own, we are unsuccessful and often even depressed, because obviously we are trying to do it all by our own human strength and are tired and exhausted. 

         But the solution is simple as Jesus says, “Come to me all who weary and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.” When we give Jesus the first place in our lives and commit all our works to him with thanksgiving and prayer according to Philippians 4:6-7 “the peace of the Lord which surpasses all understanding comes upon us.”

        So let us trust in the Lord, for he will take care of all our needs when we give him the first place in our lives, not just through our words but also in our hearts – “For the Lord searches the heart and mind and rewards a man according to his conduct according to what his deed deserves.”  

^{We must remember that Our Lord God Almighty is the One who divided the Red sea, made ‘manna’ fall from heaven, answered Elijah with fire from heaven, raised Lazarus from the dead but He is also the same God, Jesus Christ who cooked breakfast for his disciples in John21:1-17. So, there is nothing too great or small for our Lord, we just need to have faith and ask him for his help.} 

        Let us try to lead a practical Christian life by following the word of the Lord, let us not just be the hearers of the word but also the doers.

Expect to Hear HIS Voice

The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice, and I know them and they follow Me.

John 10:27

So many believers are unsure of their ability to hear GOD or know HIS voice. They’re always afraid that they won’t be able to tell when the Spirit of GOD is talking to them.

What they don’t realize  is this: Hearing the voice of the SPIRIT is a privilege that the Bible says belongs to every believer (Rom. 8:14). All we have to do to exercise that privilege is to receive it by faith and put ourselves in a position to hear.

Next time the devil tries to tell you that you can’t hear GOD’s voice, remember that.

JESUS said HIS sheep will know HIS voice and a stranger’s voice they will not follow. That is a promise of GOD to you today. You see, the SPIRIT of GOD will never guide you in opposition to the written WORD of GOD (John 16:13). So, if you’re not familiar with what the WORD says, you’ll find it more difficult to discern HID leading.

Get familiar with GOD’s voice by meditating and studying the WORD of GOD. Follow GOD’s instruction to Joshua and meditate on it day and night. Act on what you find in the WORD, not just when it’s easy but every time. Be obedient even in the slightest things.

^{That continual obedience to the written WORD will bring you into maturity and tune your inward ear to the voice of the SPIRIT. You’ll soon be able to recognize it as easily as you recognize the voice of your dearest friend.}

So, instead of wondering about it, start expecting to hear from HIM. Then start sharpening your spiritual ears by spending time in the WORD.
