The Adonai's Crescent

Indeed I have kept alert to God's ways Reference- 2 Samuel 22:1-4, 7, 20-22 MSG David prayed these words to God in song after being saved from all his enemies and from Saul. They can be our words too, as we praise Him for what He has done and for the things He is still working on for our good. Many times, we don’t fully trust the Lord or surrender every part of our lives to Him. We need to be honest, without hypocrisy, and approach Him with openness from the heart. We often have our own reasons for not aligning with Him, and it’s easy to make excuses, but it’s far better to depend on Him.   David’s life was a true testament—God delivered him from his enemies and from Saul, through both small and great challenges. Yesterday, today, and forever, He saves us. In every season, in every place, in every situation, and under all conditions, God is good. His mercies endure forever, at all times. Hallelujah. There are seven declarations I’ve repeated many times (there are plenty more ...

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 ...

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). ...

 The Journey of Isaac  Reference Gen 26 God told Isaac to stay for a while in a place, and he did. He yielded and followed the instructions. He dug again the wells that had been made in the days of his father Abraham but were blocked by the Philistines after Abraham’s death. And he renamed them, using the original names his father had given them.  During Esek (Contention), he did not fight for a disputed blessings even though he was string enough to defend. During Sitnah (hatred), he moved on / adjusted his life priorities as per Yhwh's instructions, commands and decrees.  When he found Rehoboth(Room, more room, broader space, blessings) and recognised no one given him a trouble, he gave credit to the Lord- Declared that now the Lord has give us room and we will flourish in the Land, He planted seeds in the dry environment and God blesses him 100 fold. He become wealthy (Not just rich).  All his enemies came to him, realizing that God was on his side, and said t...

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...
