Consider Him in Dec 2020

 🕑 12 mins

The author of Hebrew letter mentioned in 12:3 Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Jesus showed His love to the mankind (Jn 3:16), fulfilment of the Father's Laws/commands to build the everlasting relationship (Mt 5:17) and distributed simplified commandments to the New Testament life (M7 22:37-40). One of the practical lessons that was outlined from His Life was on endurance (the ability to endure an unpleasant or difficult process or situation without giving way) & to consider Him who endured. Hallelujah.

  • The Life Jesus and His first set of apostles lived and went through the unpleasant or difficulties.
  • David said that Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Ps 23:4
  • Paul offered prayer to Colossians (Col 1: 10-11) so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all Power according to His Glorious might so that you may have full endurance and patience,...
  • Rom 5:3 says - Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance
  • James said ( 1:2-3) Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
  • 1 Peter 5:8 says - Be sober-minded; be watchful & 1 Pt 4:12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you.
  • Apostle John mentions (8:32) And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
  • Psalmist in 100:5 declared, For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever (2020 and beyond), and His faithfulness to all generations.

Father God, help us not to loose heart in the day of distress. Father, Thank you for offering peace and courage in the midst of trials and challenges (in 2020). The troubles we are facing did not catch you by surprise, neither are they outside of your control. Help us to take heart in the midst of our troubles by remembering your finished work. *You are a good and faithful God*, and we Praise you for giving us strength and endurance in 2020 . Help us to consider Your foot steps, place our hope continuously (2020 and beyond), not in the things of this world, but in You and You alone. Like Parable of the Sower confirms that like the seed in the good soil bear fruit with perseverance, help us to preserve the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruits always. As David mentioned that we are declaring that we have set the LORD always before us. Because He is at our right hand, we will not be shaken. Therefore our hearts are glad and our tongues rejoice (Ps 16:8-9), In Jesus's Name, Amen.

At the altar, our destiny is altered

At the altar, our destiny is altered... Reference-  Job 37:23-24 MSG “Mighty God! Far beyond our reach!     Unsurpassable in Power and Justice!     It’s unthinkable that HE would treat anyone unfairly. So bow to HIM in deep reverence, one and all!     If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship HIM.” God is unfolding His story in His own way. The Sovereign and Supreme Ruler is in control of everyone, everything, and everywhere, and the accuser must seek His permission before acting against us. He sees us as His own, and we belong to Him just as He belongs to us. As Job said, God can do all things, and no purpose of His can be stopped (42:2). The Just and Righteous Judge – Our God is fundamentally just, and it’s unthinkable that He would treat anyone unfairly. His rule and governance are righteous, even if at times our eyes, ears, and hearts may not fully understand. The source of all wisdom and revelation is God , whose knowledge is complete unlike ...

God's way is the Power

God's way is God's Power Reference- 1 Cor 4:20 MSG -  God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life!! In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to a divided church where some were proud, eloquent, and believed they were spiritually superior because of their words and wisdom. He contrasts this human pride with the true power of God, shown in the cross, in changed lives, and in the work of the Spirit, the God's Power. It’s an empowered life—God’s ways are the true power, not found in mere talk, endless words, idle chatter, or impressive responses built on layers of discussion. It is a life empowered by the power of His Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is power that breaks chains, sets us free, anoints us, and creates new opportunities, fresh paths, flourishing streams, divine strategies, abundant life, and limitless expansion. Paul didn’t ask the Corinthians to be practical . It’s not about having everything, but about having Him alongside others. That’s why h...

Efforts that counts...

Efforts that counts... Reference- 2 Ch 17  Context: King Jehoshaphat was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to HIM; he wasn’t like Israel (at that time, Ahab was ruling Israel). And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honoured. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone - Apostle James in 2:17 Efforts that showed his intention to Seek and Keep Him: Sticking to the ways of Asa (his godly father). Rejecting Baal — non-conformity to the ungodly culture. Removing high places and Asherah poles. This is personal reformation — the king putting his own house in order spiritually. Efforts that enabled others to Seek and Keep Him: Building defences — not just military, but spiritual covering. Sending teachers throughout Judah with the “Book of the Revelation of God” (likely the Torah or existing OT Scriptures). ...
