His Love Saves Us





Trinity Before Eternity Began!








Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

Think about this beautiful scene in heaven dear saints. There was nothing but only God was there. God was planning to create angels to help Him serve to bring the ultimate creation of a tribe on a planet named earth in which He had been thinking to create sons and daughters in His own image and likeness. God was excited about it all. Father God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost were discussing and were creating a blue print for the future of mankind in their eternity past in which they were having fellowship and intimacy with one another. But then the biggest risk was to be given as a choice to man in order to be in the likeness of God, which is exercising a individual choice, and also upon their own will the power to choose God Himself as their guide which will help them stay in His perfect likeness and image or else be disobedient to bring upon themselves a imperfect marred image of God. As God was dwelling on these things, Father God clearly spelled without any apprehension that if His image was marred in humans, the only way to redeem them back will be nothing but one of us becoming like them to make them regain our likeness and image. And Father God said that if we do not decide this now, we can never go ahead with this plan of blue-print any more, so who wants to go to earth and become like the one we are going to create in our image. A moment of silence prevailed and Jesus joyfully with great love in His heart for these people who might need His help, stepped forward before the Father and said, "I want to go and be one among them if they ever take the wrong choice and become marred in their image of us." Immediately Father God embraced Jesus and said, "I will send the Holy Spirit to help you invisibly fulfill all these endeavors but you have to be a bond-servant to fulfill all my commands without fail. At the end of your life, you will be killed and then because of you all those imperfect humans will be made perfect again when they will choose to believe you as their Lord and Savior." Jesus agreed and jumped with joy because of His love for all humans who are going to come, and regain the image of God even if they become marred by their own poor choices! The rest is His-Story.....

The above discussion is not a story but was a reality and that is why Jesus prayed this following prayer before dying on the Cross,
"20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. 24 “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. 26 And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”" (John 17:23).

In short, the Triune God loved us and wanted to share His love for us and that why we are here today. Jesus built the bridge which was broken in the beginning back for us to have friendship and fellowship with God again through His death and resurrection. Praise the Lord! The glory of God which was restored to us through Jesus is nothing but the very image of God and the reflection of His character within us. No human can love others unconditionally, unless the Love of God flow within him. The more we look in to the face of God the more reason we will find that our very reason for existence is to be loved by God, to love God back and reflect that love to other humans who still have not yet found the reason for their existence on earth.

May God overwhelm us all with His Love and make us to realize that His love is an everlasting and unconditional love towards us as we are His loving sons and daughters born and born again to serve Him for HIS GLORY! Praise Jesus!

Much Blessings.... :)

A Pastor's Cat





God's Sense Of Humor








Whoever said the Creator doesn't have a sense of humor? Please do read this!

A preacher recently told a story about the pastor of his church.

He had a kitten that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down.

The pastor coaxed, offered warm milk, etc.

The kitty would not come down. The tree was not sturdy enough to climb, so the pastor decided that if he tied a rope to his car and pulled it until the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitten.

That's what he did, all the while checking his progress in the car. He then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent sufficiently for him to reach the kitten. But as he moved the car a little further forward, the rope broke.

The tree went 'boing!' and the kitten instantly sailed through the air - out of sight.

The pastor felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they'd seen a little kitten. No. Nobody had seen a stray kitten. So he prayed, 'Lord, I just commit this kitten to your keeping,' and went on about his business.

A few days later he was at the grocery store, and met one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. This woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, 'Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?'

She replied, 'You won't believe this,' and then told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child had begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, 'Well, if God gives you a cat, I'll let you keep it.' She told the pastor, 'I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. And really, Pastor, you won't believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A kitten suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws outspread, and landed right in front of her.'

Jesus revealed the secret of answered prayer by saying, "And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” (Matt 21:22). This faith of this child is so sincere that God immediately heard that prayer and set up a answer to it from heaven. Never underestimate the Power of a sincere prayer of faith towards God and His unique sense of humor in fulfilling it. May God help us to pray believing so that we will receive God's answer in His own time and way, may be sometimes miraculously and humorously like in the story above.


Much Blessings....

Be Available To God In All Seasons Of Life!!





A Pastor And His Son







Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts.

This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring rain.

The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, 'OK, dad, I'm ready.'

His Pastor dad asked, 'Ready for what?'

'Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and go out.'
Dad responds, 'Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring rain.'

The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking, 'But Dad, aren't people still going to Hell, even though it's raining?'

Dad answers, 'Son, I am not going out in this weather.'

Despondently, the boy asks, 'Dad, can I go? Please?'

His father hesitated for a moment then said, 'Son, you can go. Here are the tracts, be careful son.'

'Thanks Dad!'

And with that, he was off and out into the rain. This eleven year old boy walked the streets of the town going door to door and handing everybody he met in the street a Gospel Tract.

After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking, bone-chilled wet and down to his VERY LAST TRACT. He stopped on a corner and looked for someone to hand a tract to, but the streets were totally deserted.

Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk to the front door and rang the door bell. He rang the bell, but nobody answered.

He rang it again and again, but still no one answered. He waited but still no answer.

Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to leave, but something stopped him.

Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding him there on the front porch!

He rang again and this time the door slowly opened.

Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady. She softly asked, 'What can I do for you, son?' With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, 'Ma'am, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that * JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU * and I came to give you my very last Gospel Tract which will tell you all about JESUS and His great LOVE.'

With that, he handed her his last tract and turned to leave.
She called to him as he departed. 'Thank you, son! And God Bless You!'

Well, the following Sunday morning in church Pastor Dad was in the pulpit. As the service began, he asked, 'Does anybody have testimony or want to say anything?'

Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet.

As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face, 'No one in this church knows me. I've never been here before. You see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband passed on some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world. Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more so in my heart that I came to the end of the line where I no longer had any hope or will to live.

So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic of my home. I fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof, then stood on the chair and fastened the other end of the rope around my neck. Standing on that chair, so lonely and broken-hearted I was about to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought, 'I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away.'

I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly...

I thought to myself again, 'Who on earth could this be? Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to see me.' I loosened the rope from my neck and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder.

When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for there on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to you!

The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice, 'Ma'am, I just came to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU .' Then he gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand.

As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly every word of this Gospel Tract. Then I went up to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be needing them any more.

You see-- -I am now a Happy Child of the KING. Since the address of your church was on the back of this Gospel Tract, I have come here to personally say THANK YOU to God's little angel who came just in the nick of time and by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in hell.'

There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts of praise and honour to THE KING resounded off the very rafters of the building, Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was seated....

He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.

Probably no church has had a more glorious moment, and probably this universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love & honour for his son.... Except for One.

What lesson can we learn from the above story? God sees not our ability but rather our availability to be used by Him at all season and all times. If we are willing and available to God, he will use us like He used this little boy of the Pastor to bless and save the needy old woman. Age is not a factor that restrains God from using for His Glory, in fact when the Pharisees and Scribes restrained themselves and others from praising God through Jesus when He did wonderful things, God used the children to praise him as the promised Messiah and bring glory to Himself through Jesus (Matt 21:15). When these evil hearted Chief Priests and scribes became indignant hearing that and asked Jesus, " “Do You hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes. Have you never read,‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants you have perfected praise’?” (Matt 21:16). In other words, God says that He is ready to use even children in the work of God if they are readily available to do His work and bring glory to Him. What a lesson!

May we all be ready with the word of God filled in our heart in season and out of season, so that we can preach it and convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching so that souls might be saved for eternity for the Glory of God (2 Tim 4:2; 1 Tim 4:16). You might be the next person to touch someone in need and save them for eternity ahead if you inculcate the heart and passion of this little Pastor's son who reached a precious dying soul with the good news of Jesus in the midst of all his external difficulties that he faced on that particular day. Kudos to the little boy! Be ready as a general of JESUS' army in these end times to wisely save souls and thus fill heaven and empty hell! Praise the Lord!!!

Much Blessings....

Oh So Lowly In A Manger!





The Oriental Manger






Britisher Geoffrey T. Bull, missionary to Tibet, was cold, exhausted, and hungry. He had been seized by Communists following their takeover of in 1949, and his future was bleak. His captors drove him day and night across frozen mountains until he despaired of life. Late one afternoon, he staggered into a small village where he was given an upstairs room, swept clean and warmed by a small charcoal brazier.

After a meagre supper, he was sent downstairs to feed the horses. It was very dark and very cold. He clambered down the notched tree trunk to find himself in pitch- blackness. His boots squished in the manure and straw on the floor. The fetid smell of animals was nauseating. The horses sighed wearily, tails drooping, yet the missionary expected to be kicked any moment. Geoffrey, cold, weary, lonely, and ill, began to feel sorry for himself.

“Then as I continued to grope my way in the darkness,” he later wrote, “it suddenly flashed into my mind. What's today? I thought for a moment. In traveling, the days had become a little muddled in my mind. Suddenly it came to me. ‘It's Christmas Eve.’ I stood suddenly still in that Oriental manger. To think that my Saviour was born in a place like this. To think that He came all the way from heaven to some wretched eastern stable, and what is more to think that He came for me! How men beautify the cross and the crib, as if to hide the fact that at birth we resigned Him to the stench of beasts and at death exposed Him to the shame of rogues.

“I returned to the warm, clean room which I enjoyed even as a prisoner, bowed to thankfulness and worship."

No human born on earth have the choice to decide which place, time, family he or she should be born in to, because it is all pre-planned by God and executed by Him in His perfect timing. Only one person had the choice to decide his own birth place, time and family, it was Jesus who was God before He came to be born as a baby on earth (John 1:1-3). But Jesus did not choose to be born in a palace, but chose the humble manger in which even the poorest of the poor will not be born in to. Jesus chose this place, time, family to be born in to, to tell all the humans who suffer that He understands more than all what it is to to suffer on earth because of the curse of sin that has come upon the mankind because of their disobedience.

What can we learn from the above story of the missionary?

If we can look to Jesus in all our day to day suffering, all of our self pity will soon vanish as we see what kind of suffering our Master Jesus went through in His life just for the sake of redeeming us from sin. We have no reason to be unthankful at any time when we understand that Jesus set Himself as a example so that we can follow Him in our life, and be thankful and grateful for everything in our lives as He was for all things in his life towards God (1 Peter 2:21; John 17:25; 11:41; Matt 26:42). By accepting to suffer in the circumstances God has allowed us to go through in our lives, we will learn obedience toward God more and more, and thus glorify God in all things and will live pleasing to Him (Heb 5:7-9). We cannot suffer more than our Master Jesus, but can suffer like Him at the maximum, and so we must be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer and above all rejoice in our suffering, knowing that the Spirit of glory rests upon us and God gets glorified because of this reason (Matt 10:23-25; Rom 12:12; 5:3; 1 Peter 4:13-14, 16). We must positively choose to be bowed to God in thankfulness and worship God at all times and in all circumstances for the glory of God! No circumstances in our life can be too bad to stop being thankful, instead we should realize that God has allowed each circumstances of our life by His sovereign will and therefore we must learn to give in to His will and not resist it. We must also rejoice in the Lord always to maintain the consciousness of God's goodness towards us all the time which is a fact never changes.

Much Blessings....

God Hears Only Songs Of Your Heart





The Old Monk






Corrie Ten Boom used to tell a story about an old monk who sang a Christmas song every Christmas Eve for his brothers in the monastery, and for visitors who would come from the village for the special services. His voice was very ugly, but he loved the Lord and sang from his heart. One year the director of the cloister said, “I'm sorry, Brother Don, we will not need you this Christmas. We have a new monk who has a beautiful voice.”

The man did sing beautifully, and everyone was happy. But that night an angel came to the superior and said, “Why didn't you have a Christmas Eve song?”

The superior was very surprised. “We had a beautiful song,” he replied. “Didn't you hear it?”

The angel shook his head sadly. “It may have been inspiring to you, but we didn't hear it in heaven.”

“You see,” Corrie would say, “the old monk with the rasp voice had a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus, but the young monk sang for his own benefit, not for that of the Lord.”

What can we learn from this story? It is not how we sing that matters to God, it is with what depth of relationship we have with Him we sing songs. God is not concerned about how melodious our voice is but how pure our motives are in singing a song. We can give a good performance and also can make people happy with our song sung in a public meeting, but heaven hears only the song that are sung with a pure heart and a depth of relationship with God. It doesn't matter whether our voice is melodious or rasp, but our heart condition is very important to the Lord (Psa 66:17-18). Learn to sing and worship the Lord in spirit and in truth which God desires, and always heaven without fail will rejoice to hear your song (John 4:23-24)!

Much Blessings...

The Little Baby Gift From God To All Humanity





A Gift Of Life






In 1910, a terrible plague swept through the former Czechoslovakia during the Christmas season. It was diphtheria, and it devastated the little Czech village of Velky Slavhov.Nearly half the village contracted the infectious disease, and many of the victims were less than ten years of age. Whenever a member of a family would show symptoms, a large black “X”would be swabbed on the doorpost of the house as a warning that it had been quarantined.

There was an “X” painted on the doorpost of the home of Jano and Suzanna Boratkova. In little less than a week, the young couple, parents of three, found themselves childless. Their oldest child, a five- year-old daughter, had been the first to go. And even as Jano was working in the wood shed, pounding together a coffin for her, his two sons were dying.

As the two young boys breathed their last, Suzanna broke into agonizing sobs. She cleaned and wrapped the two boys for a final time and carefully laid them in hand- made pine caskets. She and Jano lifted the coffins onto the wagon and started the slow journey through the biting December cold and the foot-high snow toward the graveyard. They passed by house after house marked with an “X,” but they didn't have the strength to offer sympathy or encouragement. They were too wrapped up in their own grief.
The young couple laid their children in freshly-dug graves and struggled through the Lord's Prayer. Then they trudged back to the wagon and returned home. No one was there to meet them. It was too dangerous, for the house was quarantined. It was a frightening, dark little tomb. Little high-heeled brown leather shoes were still lined up against the wood stove, as they usually were when the children were tenderly in bed. But now the beds were empty, the house was cold, the shadows deep and cold.
Jano himself was sick. “I won't see another Christmas,” he said, wheezing and coughing. “I don't think I'll see the New Year in, either.” He pushed away the soup and bread, for it was too hard for him to swallow. The diphtheria had tied a noose around his neck, allowing neither food nor sufficient air to sustain him. Suzanna gathered some kindling and lit a fire for the night, sure that her husband was about to die. The snow was starting to fall again, and she paused to gaze through the window. Her mind went to a verse of Scripture-- Psalm 121:1, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord who made heaven and earth."

Suddenly she saw someone approaching, a peasant woman tramping through the snow, a red and purple plaid shawl draped over her hunched shoulders. A kerchief was wrapped around her head, and her long skirt was a bright display of cotton and linen patchwork. In one hand, she held a jar of clear liquid. She approached the house and knocked on the door.

Suzanna cautiously opened the door. “We have the plague in our home.” she said, “And my husband is in a fever right now.” The old woman nodded and asked if she could step inside. She held out her little jar. “Take a clean,white linen and wrap it around your finger,”she said. “Dip your finger into this pure kerosene oil and swab out your husband's throat, and then have him swallow a tablespoon of the oil. This should cause him to vomit the deadly mucous. Otherwise, he will surely suffocate. I will pray for you and your family.”

Then, having left her folk remedy against diphtheria, she turned and left. Suzanna followed the woman's instructions, and early Christmas morning, Jano retched up the deadly phlegm. His fever broke, and Suzanna entertained a flicker of hope. There were no presents under the tree that year, but an old woman with her jar of oil was a gift of life. Jano recovered, in time. The Lord gave the couple more children. In the 1920s Jano and Suzanna emigrated to America with eight children, which included a set of triplets and two sets of twins.

It’s a story that has been handed down through the generations of that family, the little peasant woman who came on Christmas Eve bearing the gift of life. Jesus, too, came on Christmas bearing the gift of life for hopeless, grieving dying people. He came for Jew and Gentile. He came for you and me.

If we could believe and receive the gift of life in Jesus which God has given to us freely, then we and our generations will remember this good decision that we have dared to take for generations down the line. God can only bless you and me only one way, and through that way only can remove the curses that come against us, and that one way to life eternal with God is the way of believing and receiving Jesus in our heart to be our Lord and Savior of our life.

If you are not sure that you are saved, now is the time to invite Jesus in to your heart by saying, "O Jesus, I am a sinner and cannot save myself. Please come in to my heart and save me from sin to give eternal life of God forever. Thank you for being my Savior and Lord of my life from now on."

May we be grateful to God for the gift of life we have received in Jesus all the days of our life and may our succeeding generations follow us to glorify God through their lives too more and more.

Much Blessings....
