Father Jacob Found Yhwh at Bethel

 Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London - 07Mar2025

Jacob decided to return to the Lord by seeking Him and His favour first.

Reference Scripture: Hosea 12:1-6

When God brought the charges against Jacob, aka Israel, is punishing Jacob according to his ways, repay for what he did in the past. Jacob got the best of his brother, he cheated his father to get the first born blessings, stayed with his uncle to get his love of his life for 14 years, he had experienced change in wages almost 10 times, ran away many times from the problems. At some point of time the Lord brought him to his knees. Finally he has decided to repent, wept, prayed- he was left alone. wrestled until the day break- begged for God's favour, guidance and made supplications. 

The prayer language changed for Jacob. Instead of merely asking, "God bless me," he interceded with the words, "Lord, I will not let you go unless you bless me." Assurance from the Almighty was his desire; the hunger and thirst in prayer brought that closeness.

The Bible says that finally Jacob discovered YHWH truthfully. At Bethel, the Lord spoke to him face to face- He kept on asking to bless him. I call it as the time of transformation. He was tired, feared, ran, waited, grew-up as a big family, he produced 12 tribes. However when his purpose met perseverance of faith, understood the need of seeking God's favour, guidance, blessings, words and rhema, he has decided to Pray intimately. God revealed , spoke to him by mentioning him as the God of the angel of armies. 

Let us never give up but pray without doubt, ceasing, and tiredness. Jacob prayed for favour over fear, promise over problem, victory over victim mindset, success over struggle, calm over calamity, worship over worry, Praise over Pressure situation. Amen. 

Hosea 12:6 says by the help of your God, return, hold fast to love and justice, and wait continually for your God. Call on Him is the call to all of us. Let's forsake our wrong ways, negative thoughts and return to Him by fasting, weeping, mourning. God is compassionate, slow to anger and abundance in Loving devotion. Let us seek good not evil, the Lord of Hosts will be with us. Trust in the Lord is the key to get the desires of the our heart in Him, by committing our ways, by serving Him only. Let us seek His face always, lean not in our own understanding but acknowledging HIM in all our ways will cause HIM to make our paths straight. Jacob learned the secret of seeking first the Kingdom of the Lord and His righteousness, which helped him to Please YHWH much better than ever. 

Father Jacob found Yhwh at Bethel very closely and spoke with Him. Beautiful experience to discover the great love in Him. Let us Call on Him and Pray and wait expectantly for God continually. Hallelujah!!!

Peace be Upon the State of the Israel and us.
Shalom. Have a Great weekend.

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). ...
