Sayings

 Bill Hybels writes, ‘If the request is wrong God says “No”. If the timing is wrong God says “Slow”. If you are wrong God says “Grow”. But if the request is right and the timing is right and you are right, God says “Go”.’

Winston Churchill said: “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”

God is so generous and kind. He gives us so much. A ‘talent’ was a huge sum of money – probably equivalent to twenty years’ wages. Even the person with one talent was given so much. In the parable, the talent represents not only your money but your gifts, skills, time, energy, education, intellect, strength, influence and opportunities.
Be faithful with whatever you have been given. It is no good wishing that you had been given more. You are simply called to do the best you can with what you have.
Use it For Him, By Him, To Him and With Him.

Man says: Death - that's it.
God says: Death will be swallowed up in victory – prophesy.

Man says: Why would God have the Jonah and big fish story in the Bible?
God says: Jesus believed it predicted His resurrection.

Man says: It would be easier to accept the resurrection with other examples.
God says: Many other bodies did it!

Man says: People in the Old Testament didn't believe in the resurrection.
God says: Moses did! Job did.

Man says: Maybe Christ's resurrection was a vision. Did anyone touch him?
God says: Jesus had His disciples touch Him.

Man says: It would be impressive if Jesus predicted he would resurrect. God says: He did.

Man says: I don't believe anyone lives beyond death.
God says: Jesus says we DO.

Man says: There's no proof Jesus came back from the dead.
God says: Jesus appeared for 40 days.

Man says: Once you're dead, you're dead. It's impossible to beat death.
God says: It's impossible for Jesus to stay dead

Man says: Hey, Jesus did exist. Then he died. End of story.
God says: Paul saw Him!

Man says: What did Saul, the Christian killer, decide about the resurrection?
God says: His main point was Jesus rose from the dead.

Man says: What does the resurrection prove anyway?
God says: That we can be accepted by God.

Man says: I believe in Christ. I don't however believe he came back from the dead.
God says: If He didn't we're lost.

Man says: I'm a Christian, but death and hell still scare me.
God says: Don't be afraid, Jesus is risen indeed!

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). ...
