~~DOUBLE FOR OUR TROUBLE~~

Our Heavenly Father tests us for several reasons:

1. To humble us
2. To teach us
3. To know what’s in our hearts
4. To see if we will keep His Word or not. (Deut 8:2)
5. And He compensates our perseverance during these tests—our determined persistence in pressing through them with His Word—with DOUBLE FOR OUR TROUBLE!

Because you got a double dose of trouble and more than your share of contempt, your inheritance in the land will be DOUBLED and your joy go on forever. (Isaiah 61:7)

Be blessed and sealed in the name of JESUS.... Amen!!!!

Is any thing too hard for the LORD?

Is any thing too hard for the LORD? Genesis 18:14



This is the question asked to Abraham when Sarah laughed about the conceiving of a baby at very old age.(They have no hope that they will bear a child at that age)

Now, God is asking the same Question to us....

Many of us face Tremendous Problems:

1. Domestic problems,
2. Physical problems,
3. Spiritual problems,
4. Financial problems,
5. Church problems,
6. Friendship problems


But......

There Is No Promise Too Hard For God To Fulfill.

There Is No Prayer Too Hard For God To Answer.

There Is No Problem Too Hard For God To Solve.

There Is No Church Too Hard For God To Revive.

Let's check few verses in the Bible...

Job 42:1-2
Then Job answered the LORD, and said, I know that thou canst do every thing....

Jeremiah 32:17
Ah Lord God! ... there is nothing too hard for thee.

Jeremiah 32:27
Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for the Lord?;

Matthew 19:26, Mark 10:27
With God all things are possible.

Luke 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Luke 18:27
The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

Revelation 19:6
The Lord God omnipotent reigneth.


The only thing that God cannot do is act contrary to His own character and nature. For example, Titus 1:2 and Hebrews 6:18 states that"He cannot lie". Because He is holy (Isaiah 6:3; 1 Peter 1:16), He cannot sin. Because He is just, He cannot merely overlook sin. Because Christ paid the penalty for sin, He is now able to forgive those who will turn to Christ

Truly our God is an awesome God...unchanging, eternal, unlimited in power, in majesty, in knowledge, in wisdom, in love, in mercy, and in holiness.

So, my dear friends.. Never fear for anything you face in your lives. We have a Big God to look after all our problems. They are very small and minute infront of Him.


Cheer Up!!!!

How can I know God's will for my life?

There are two keys to knowing God's will for a given situation: 1) Make sure what you are asking for or considering doing is not something the Bible forbids. 2) Make sure what you are asking for or considering doing will glorify God and help you grow spiritually. If these two things are true and God still is not giving you what you are asking, then it is likely not God’s will for you to have what you are asking for. Or, perhaps you just need to wait a while longer for it. Knowing God’s will is sometimes difficult. People want God to tell them specifically what to do—where to work, where to live, whom to marry, etc. God rarely gives people information that direct and specific (through word of God, Visions and dreams). God allows us to make choices regarding those things.

Romans 12:2 tells us, “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will.” The only decision God does not want us to make is the decision to sin or resist His will. God wants us to make choices that are in agreement with His will. So, how do you know what God’s will is for you? If you are walking closely with the Lord and truly desiring His will for your life, God will place His desires on your heart. The key is wanting God’s will, not your own. “Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4). If the Bible does not speak against it and it can genuinely benefit you spiritually, then the Bible gives you the “permission” to make decisions and to follow your heart. If you truly seek God’s will with a humble spirit and an open mind, He will reveal His will to you.
"God's will is the best, perfect and complete". Let's depend only God's will and receive blessings from God rather than facing consequences.

5 S’s to Develop your PR with God !

I think whoever has a Personal Relationship with God, I mean somebody who knows & understands God’s heart and seeks His face for everything and in every situation can have a life of abundance. Whether he / she is alone or in the midst of a crowd, his / her face sparkles with overflowing joy. He / she doesn’t have to declare that ‘I am a child of God.’ His / her sparkling face makes this fact clear to everybody.

Guilty consciousness for anything hinders us to have a good relationship with God, with others and even with our own self. We cannot have a life of Joy if we have a guilt conscience. We need to have a clear conscience to be at peace with God, with others as well as with our own self. A Personal Relationship with God gives us the sense of good and bad, so that we could have a life without blemish and also without guilt conscience. We can lead a joyous life.

There are few people in the Bible like Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Joseph, and Paul etc., who had walked in peace with God and with others in their whole lifetime. They had never spent any moment of their lives in guilt consciousness, because all of them had a wonderful personal relationship with the God Almighty.

How is your relationship with God today? Is there even a relationship exists with God? If the answer is NO, then I want to disclose few secrets of developing a good relationship with God in our daily lives as under:

1. Spending quality time with Him in Prayer.
2. Studying His word to know Him better.
3. Shedding all your tears only before Him.
4. Saving the first Place for Him in your life.
5. Sharing your Joy with others to magnify Him.

Dear friends! He is eagerly waiting for us to take the first step. Let’s build up a fresh relationship with God and be joyous & in peace with the Almighty, with others and with our own self.

How do I avoid temptation? – James 1:12

The first is to love God, which in the greek is agapao, meaning to be devoted. So we must counter temptation and sin by spending a huge amount of time thinking about God. Reading His Word, in prayer, making God a major focus in our life.

The second one is the importance of enduring. Just keep going, stay
on the path, being determined not to give up, even when other have departed. Stand firm!

The third one is to reduce the affect of temptation, is to desire the crown of life. The crown is a reward given by a king, and that king is God, and the reward ceremony will be in heaven! This is something we really need to work on, desiring our reward in heaven.

And the final one is to yearn to be blessed. Blessed refers to God’s favour, of God working through our life in amazing and wonderful ways.

So how do I reduce the affects of temptation in my life? we must seek to be devoted to God, to endure through the hardships, to desire after a reward in heaven and to yearn to be blessed. Praise God!!

"Christian fasting - what does the Bible say?"

Scripture does not command Christians to fast. God does not require or demand it of Christians. At the same time, the Bible presents fasting as something that is good, profitable, and beneficial. The book of Acts records believers fasting before they made important decisions (Acts 13:4; 14:23). Fasting and prayer are often linked together (Luke 2:37; 5:33). Too often, the focus of fasting is on the lack of food. Instead, the purpose of fasting should be to take your eyes off the things of this world to focus completely on God. Fasting is a way to demonstrate to God, and to ourselves, that we are serious about our relationship with Him. Fasting helps us gain a new perspective and a renewed reliance upon God.

Although fasting in Scripture is almost always a fasting from food, there are other ways to fast. Anything given up temporarily in order to focus all our attention on God can be considered a fast (1 Corinthians 7:1-5). Fasting should be limited to a set time, especially when fasting from food. Extended periods of time without eating can be harmful to the body. Fasting is not intended to punish the flesh, but to redirect attention to God. Fasting should not be considered a “dieting method” either. The purpose of a biblical fast is not to lose weight, but rather to gain deeper fellowship with God. Anyone can fast, but some may not be able to fast from food (diabetics, for example). Everyone can temporarily give up something in order to draw closer to God.

By taking our eyes off the things of this world, we can more successfully turn our attention to Christ. Fasting is not a way to get God to do what we want. Fasting changes us, not God. Fasting is not a way to appear more spiritual than others. Fasting is to be done in a spirit of humility and a joyful attitude. Matthew 6:16-18 declares, “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

"Power of Repentance"

He who covers his sins WILL NOT prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them WILL have mercy. (Pro 28:13)

… "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" (Matt 3:2)

Humbling ourSELVES and repenting isn’t a shame-faced, weak-spirited attitude, for God commands we come trustingly and boldly to His throne of grace. (Hebrews 4:16) Instead, repentance is a broken–hearted, sin-sorry, spiritual POWER returning us to our rightful, higher place WITH God. And, furthermore, it’s through repentance—the remission of our sins—that our Father grants his obedient children the “knowledge of salvation” (Luke 1:77) we need for breaking free of every hindrance blocking His blessings from our lives. And because Abba wants us freed from Satan’s snares even more than we do, He’s ordained His power of repentance as the key for unlocking those chains, in Jesus’ name!

Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, "Let the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant." (Psalm 35:27)
