Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London.

The Lord bestows Grace and Favour and Honour

The Bible confirms, in Ps 84:11 that The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. In other words, No good thing does YHWH withhold from those who walk uprightly, with integrity and blameless. This is the experience of David and multiple millions of the believers who have been witnessing the Faithfulness of the Lord among us. 

As we are concluding 2024 in few days, Let us take a stock of the things that the ADONAI Graciously showered upon us, His miracles, guidance, favour, strength, care, love, protection, provision, promises, prophecies and faithfulness. In Luke 10, Mary seated herself at the LORD's feat, to continually listen to HIS teaching, heard HIS Word to what the Master taught and absorbing every revelation HE shared. 

Instead of embracing Martha's footprints, by blaming, comparing, complaining, getting distracted, keeping ourselves very busy with numerous chores, preparing what we planned for and interrupting JESUS, telling HIM what to do/ how to do certain things, Let us TRUST HIM in 2025 as believers by letting HIM to do HIS Things in our lives in HIS timings to bring Glory to HIS Name. Amen. Hallelujah. 

HE knows us well and what we are going through in the life journey. All our hairs have been numbered (not just counted), every good things are at HIS reserve, HE knows our needs, Our Heavenly Father knows how to give good things to those who ASKs Him, it absolutely cost nothing to us and it's free to us. HE is simply asking us to TRUST HIM. Our God is able to make all Grace abound to us, so that in all things, at all times, having all that we need, we will abound in every good work (2 Cor 9:8). From HIS fullness we received GRACE upon GRACE from HIM (Jn 1:16) in the past, we will continue to receive them now and in future. It's our birth right in HIM!

Are we distracted by the big/worldly things that we were preparing/aiming for, worried, bothered and anxious about so many things? JESUS advised Martha to choose the good part, necessary part, better part, needful part and challenged her to discover good things. Do not fussing far too much is the warning to many of us as we enter into 2025. 

CEV of Ps 55:22 narrates a prayer like this...

LORD, we belong to YOU, we tell YOU what worries us, YOU will not let us fail, fall or slip. Amen. Let us commit our ways to the LORD (Ps 37:5). As David said in Ps 55:23, Let us also declare that as for me, I TRUST in YOU.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favour and honour in 2025 and beyond; no good thing does HE withhold from those whose walk is blameless, In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Happy New Year 2025, in advance.

Peace be upon Israel and Us. 🙏🙏🙏

Have a Blessed weekend!!! 

In His Grip..

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). ...
