God's Nature : Love and Justice, Judgment

    
       In John 3:16 we see the Universal love of God to all those who come to him through His Son Jesus Christ. Because He is not only God of the Jews but also God of the Gentiles too. There is no division and racialism in Jesus Christ. Yet He is the God of Justice and Judgment also to let know of His nature God put this very story in Genesis 15:16 about the waiting of the full of the sin of the Armorites and also in Genesis 19:23-25 about the Episode of the Judgment of the Two City Sodom and Gomorrah. These examples shows the patient of God and the judgment upon those who do not repent , though they might be Individuals or Nations.
      Every one of us know that God is love but some Children of God failed to understand He is the God of Justice too, and by His righteousness He must execute Judgment upon the evil doers. Some one would questions “if God so loved the sinners, why would He judge them?” here is the answer God loves the sinners but hates sin. That is why He said “ Vengeance is mine; I will repay’ Roman 12:19. The reason why God must judge is because He is “ Just God” Isaiah 45:21.
     In the Episode in Genesis 15:16 God said to Abraham about the time when the children of would return “But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Armorites is not yet full”, means God is patient as we see in 2 Peter 3:9 “but is longesuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” And waiting to the full of the iniquity or sin of the Armorites to judge them, because He is the just God and loves all His Creation, He gave time to repent. He is the God of Love and Justice, If people would judge one another why not God Judge the Nations, and visit their iniquities.

     The best example of God’s love shown here in the Bible and the whole world was in the Person of Jesus Christ, his Life made light to the fallen mankind. His Love reflects the Love of the Almighty, Everlasting God, He alone can show this love of God , why? Because He Himself is “God in the Flesh” John 1:14, and fully man but “in whom is no guile” John 1:47. His sacrificed had shown the “Greater love” John 15:13 that no one in the world had ever done, nor no other religious leaders have ever, since the Beginning of the History and till Today. Thus Jesus Christ Proved the Love of God, and His Deity or God’s nature by Resurrecting from the Death “Luke 24:6”.
     The Love and Judgment of God was together shown in the life of David, the famous Bible character after Jesus Christ, and a King “2 Samuel 5:3”, an Inventor of Music “Amos 6:5”, And also Named by God as “ a man after mine own heart” Acts 13:22. He was lifted up by God, because David praised God and found Favor with God, and God promoted him and Chosen him to rule over God’s people Israel. But when he fell into temptation and committed adultery with the woman named Bath-Sheba “2 Samuel 11:13-22 and murdered her husband Uriah “2 Samuel 11:14-17” God did not say that “ I will forgive him, because he is the best man in the entire world” rather Judgment came upon his house whole, after he repented and wrote Psalm 51 with all his heart , though God forgave him ,the consequences of His iniquities follows, because the Bible says “ for whatsower a man soweth , that shall he also reap” Galatians 6:7. The whole Episode can be read in the Book of 2 Samuel.
      So what do we say more about the Love and Judgment of God. I believe some of you might be convinced by this, some of you might learned and understand something from the Word of God today. Hope that you are benefited by this Message. May the Lord bless all His faithful Children. “For our God is a consuming fire” Hebrews 13:29.

The Bible Vs Magic : the Ancient Mystical Religion

      ]

         When we talk about Magic some of us would think it’s a kind of cool trick shown by the so-called Magician and people are fascinated about it, sadly even some of the Believers in the front line. The Bible condemned about Magic several times in various passages both in the Old and New Testament. So we are not allowed to practice and involve in any form or kind of Magic as a Christian. Magic was originated since prehistoric time and still it is continuing in this presence age. The world viewed Magic as an unharmed or pleasure giving sport or play. And most of the World’s Religions accept and practice Magic as their secondary Religion and involved in it with pleasure. But the Bible clearly talk about Magic as a cause which is against the Works of God and all Righteousness (Acts 13:10) , because it is from Satan who can transformed like “ an angel of light” 2 Corinthians 11:14.

        A Christian writer says about Magic as follows “ Magic uses charms and spells that are believed to have supernatural power over natural forces. But according to the Bible, the power isn’t in the saying of certain words or following prescribed rituals. The power comes from demons who, when invited, can provide supernatural assistance ( 1 Samuel 28:5-20; 2 King 23:24)”.

      The Bible talk about forbidding of Magical uses, Sorcery, Mediums in ( Deut 18:10-12) and condemns these things as Abomination before the LORD. In this presence time there are many things that involves in Magical ideas... like books, board games and movies these are invading the Churches also. Jesus said satan as the “father of lie ” John 8:44. It doesn’t seems to hurt in the appearance but actually it’s like viper hiding in the basket and we should aware of these things because we knew the trick or the lies of the devil.

      When I was young I though White magic was good and Black magic was bad and both has long fighting history. But when I knew the Truth in the Word of God I came to realized that both has the same Origin and came from Satan. The Magic was practice in various parts of the world till today, if we trace back to History we would find in almost all the Continent of the world, In America practiced by the Red Indians, In Africa the African Voodoos, In Asia by many ethnic groups, in China largely used as a ritual till today. In Europe the witches, Mediums are so popular during the Medieval ages but condemned by the Roman Church. In India many Hindus sects practices Magical rituals. In the Middle East before Islam came to existence there were fire worship, In Mesopotamia Region there were moon worship and magical rituals were so popular.In Central America the Mayan Civilization have had practice Occult and Human Sacrifices were so common to them. In Ancient Greek and Roman time magical ritual were widely used in all Roman Empire, we can see in the time of Apostle Paul also ( Acts 16:16-18 ).

       Here is my conclusion to all of us... that we have to firm in the Lord and know the lies of the Devil... so we will not be tricked by the lies of Satan... Because the end is near many deceivers are already in the world .... May the Lord bless you...

God with us... the Lord is With you

    Hi dears in Christ as we know today is the Blessed Day or the Lord's Day. I would like to bring out some thing, as a Christian must know and recognize every time. That is, God with us...

   Here in Matthew 1:23 we see the meaning of our Savior's Name, that was "Emmanuel", simply means " God with us". God wants to be with us always since from the Beginning, when God created First couple Adam and Eve... He used to visit them every day especially " in the cool of the day" Genesis 3:8. Thus we saw that God desire was to be with us, that means to have fellowship with us every time. That was His purpose but men had broken relationship with God by disobeying Him....

    God did not leave mankind alone on this planet Earth, He did not forsake His special Creation in whom He put His very" Breath of Life" Genesis 2:7. He promised the perfect Man "seed of women" Genesis 3:15 Who will take the sinners' place in order to reunion with God. Thus God became Man and "dwelt among us" John1:14. And His Name was Called "Emmanuel" or "God with us" Matthew 1:23 since He was a child He is "God with us" .....

    As we all know He live and died, later Rose again from the dead on the "third day" 1 Corinthians 15:3-6. That's not all over He promised again in the last chapter of Matthew 28:20 "lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." Reconfirming His Word... because there was a custom in the Old Testament the witness of two will be counted if it is one, that's not enough Deuteronomy 17:6 also in 19:15 . Thus Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ witness together that God is with us today..." If God be for us, who can be against us" Romans 8:31...

The Lord Bless you...

Martha , Mary Episode

 Martha, Mary Episode...

 

    In Luke 10:38-42 we can see a short story about two sisters Martha and Mary, which described our relationship to Jesus is more important than serving Him.
    Sometime we thought that we are serving God, and so we have no time to fellowship with the Lord. So many things prevented us from taking time in the presence of the Lord and together with Him...which the Lord pleased but we neglected.
   Martha asked the Lord in Verse 40 "Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me." then the Lord replied to Martha in Verse 41,42 "And Jesus answer and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."
    Here we see two characters the one whom the Lord pleased and the other whom the Lord not so pleased. What do you want to choose, it's your choice today... Busy with works or sitting in the presence of the Lord...??? May the Lord grant you the clear mind to choose the right choice..., the Lord bless you....

Blessed Resurrection day !!!

    

Today is the day of our Blessed Savior Christ Jesus' Resurrection day. Because of the Risen Jesus our hope are not in vain ...

"And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins", "But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept" 1 Corinthians 15:17,20.

" The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven" v.47. Jesus was called the Second Man ( Adam in a perfect state) Who is perfect and even more He is the Lord from heaven, to redeemed the fallen mankind. He has redeemed us from the wages of sins, He has paid the very price for our Salvation.

And now we are in Him " If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Colossians 3:1-3.

The Lord bless you...

What is Faithfulness ?

                                       
    Faithful simply means Loyalty otherwise continual Obedience toward higher authority. Faithful to the Lord means remaining in the commandments of the Lord Jesus Christ what ever comes in ones life. Jesus was Named or Called "Faithful witness" in Revelation 3:14, Why? It was not just He died for all, but the more He obeyed His Father's Will (our Heavenly Father) totally even unto death. To be faithful simply means to be obedience to our Lord Christ Jesus at any cost and follow God's Holy, True, Unchanging and Powerful Word ( the Bible).
   Jesus said "be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life" Revelation 2:10, that means if you are not faithful unto death no crown for you. That is the call from our Lord the "Risen King" to all of us who believes in Him, to carry our own Cross daily and follow His foot steps in our living days here on Earth !!!
   The Bible encourages us many times to remain faithful in the Lord and shows us what were the heritage of the faithfuls in the Lord, and also the tragic ends of the unfaithful and disobedience. Many people do not want to hear warnings even from those who follow Christ and believes in Him. But the Word of God did not said in Vain, it is Serious, Faithful and Truth. We must warn the unbelievers about the righteous Judgment of of Our Lord God and to the believers to be faithful unto death. Let every one who has ears to hear let him hear !!! the Lord bless you and carry you through...

When Faith Fades away...or Temporary Spiritual blindness

When Faith fades away...or Temporary Spiritual blindness

The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence His soul hateth. Psalm 11:5

        There are two types of exams that God deals with His Children in order to upgrade  their spiritual levels....Testings and Temptations which He allowed to see whether His Children are faithful to Him or not...in this page we are going to deals with what is meant by "temporary spiritual blindness"

      It is of all things most strange that He who knows us so intimately should yet subject us to trial, as though to discover the quality of our faith and steadfastness. That He does so, however, is the common experience of His Children, and since He is the God of all love, we conclude that this His ministry of test is for our immediate and ultimate good.

      Or they may be good, faithful Christians whom the Lord has simply smitten with temporary spiritual blindness to test us. He may have shut their eyes to the things He is revealing to us to see if we will press on with determination when our Christian friends fail to stand with us. "God left him, to try him, that He might know all that was in his heart" 2 Chronicles 32:31b.

      This is what the temporary spiritual blindness means, in the which most of the Christians fails to recognized and deviated from the faith, not knowing the Lord has put them into the Test just to tried them. But this is not seems to happened to every believers... but to some whom God is putting big task with special mission to accomplished with,,,this can also be called "Faith Trial" in 1 Peter 4:12-13 "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, in as much as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings: that, when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy".
     Billy Graham was also tested while he was studying God's Words in his early 20's. His friend became Atheist but he never gave up, in that he challenged God...and God answered Billy and he became legendary Preacher of the Word of God and most famous Evangelist in 20th Century.
      Every Men and Women of God was tested and they overcame by God's grace...so here is my conclusion to all of us..that whatever we faced we have to be strong in the Lord even in the "temporary spiritual blindness" so when it is all over God is going to use us Greatly for His Kingdom...The Lord bless you...and make you clear...
