When runners are called - Part 1

Wrong perceptions make us to run....

Acts 7:29 CEVUK - When Moses heard this, he ran away to live in the country of Midian. His two sons were born there.

🏃‍♂️When Perception Fuels Flight

- Moses ran after realizing his own people rejected him as a leader. Acts 7:29 captures that moment of rejection and retreat. But Midian became the place of preparation—where he encountered God in the burning bush and was called back to lead.
  
- Elijah fled from Jezebel after a dramatic victory on Mount Carmel. Despite calling down fire from heaven, he was overwhelmed by fear and isolation. Yet in the wilderness, God met him—not in the wind, earthquake, or fire, but in a gentle whisper (1 Kings 19).

🔍 The Deeper Insight

Wrong perceptions—whether of rejection, danger, or inadequacy—can cause us to run. But God often uses those detours to reshape our calling:

- Running isn’t always rebellion; sometimes it’s a reset.
- The wilderness isn’t punishment; it’s preparation.
- God doesn’t abandon runners; He meets them on the way.

Running as a Spiritual Metaphor

These stories show that:
- Flight isn’t the end—it’s often the beginning of transformation.
- God meets us not just in triumph, but in retreat.
- Perceived rejection or failure can become the soil for deeper calling.

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). ...
