The Unchanging God ... Jesus Christ ... !!!



I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Revelation 1:8

Jesus Christ spoke to John in the Isle of Patmos to record His Words. And it became the Book of Revelation later in our Bible. There in the prologue of the book we see the Risen and Glorified Christ Jesus gave commandment to John the apostle. And Jesus said to John saying "Fear not; I am the first and the last:" Revelation 1:17, it is a comforting Words from the Lord to John that He should not be afraid of anything because He is the First and the Last or the God all Creation, the Everlasting God.

Jesus Christ the Almighty

"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever". Hebrews 13:8. The Bible speaks about the Unchanging God ... though our world and it's system are Changing everyday. Because the God of the Bible is the God of all Creation ... and He is Jesus Christ "which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty". Revelation 1:8. When God encouraged the Children of Israel and when He rebuked them the Lord said "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God". Isaiah 44:6. Proving that there is no God besides Him because of their Idolatry and Disobedience to His Words.

People are confused today about Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit ... the Bible talk about God and His Trinity Union. And for Jesus Christ we see the Bible talks like this "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:" Colossians 1:16. All things are Created by Him and for Him ... for Whom ? for Jesus Christ and By Jesus Christ ... Because He is the Almighty God... the Unchanging God ... Hallelujah !!!

Conclusion : We know and we are sure of this, that Jesus Christ to Whom we Worship and Believe is the Only God and the Unchanging God. Because the Spirit of God is witnessing in us as we read His Words, and the Spirit of God is revealing to us that we are His (1Cor 2:10), I mean we belongs to Jesus Christ ... what a privilege we have that we should be called the sons of God (John 1:12). May the Lord bless us and guide us with His Wisdom as we live in the brink of His Coming ... !!!

The Lord is good ...!!!

The War Between Two Natures ( Spiritual Vs Carnal )

For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Romans 7:22,23 (KJV)



Apostle Paul described the Two Natures in the Book of Romans expressively. In the above Scripture we are seeing the two laws, Natural or Carnal and another Spiritual, which are combating or fighting daily in One's life who has come to Faith in Christ. (But to those who are not in Christ have no two laws but only conscience).

It is not appropriate to say as a believer to lost to the Carnal law daily, there must be a fight and Victory though we failed sometimes because of our lust and own will. Romans 7:19 says For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. This the most fitting verse for us, as to show the Law of Carnal in our Lives. But another one shows our Spiritual Law or Spiritual Nature in Romans 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: here the inward man is reffering to the Spirit man, Ephesians 3:16.

Daily Straggle

We find it both Nature daily in our lives, frankly speaking. The Questions arises How will we Overcome the Old man or Old nature ? The Bible doesn't leave us with just Commandments but gave us ways and also the Spirit of God is helping us in our infirmities, Romans 8:26. As we straggle daily we are growing in the Lord if we strive lawfully. Straggling is worthwhile in our life time because our Lord Jesus Himself does straggled with Temptations as we are yet without sin, Hebrew 4:15. If we follow Christ we will Overcome and Defeat the Old Nature Daily in our lives. The Straggle will take long even till we reached to Heaven, but Jesus said In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33. And also in Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Jesus has done His part we must do our part.

Conclusion : This is an encouragement for all of us who are straggling with the Two Natures daily in our lives. Even for myself because i am not perfect yet as we all does, though i wrote it by the Urging of the Spirit of God. Hoping it is relevant in your lives today i mean in this last days, the Word of God is Truth 1 Thessalonians 2:13 and is Powerful Hebrews 4:12. As the Coming of the Lord draws near let us take Heed to the Word of God ... for the Lord is good ... !!!

Abiding In Christ ... !



I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 15:5 ( KJV )

There in the Words of Jesus we see "abide in me" that is simple to understand yet difficult to act or follow sometimes because of our weaknesses as a human being. But Jesus confirm His Word again later "without me ye can do nothing" what He said He saith it in Truth, and it cannot be alter by our human judgments by saying that there is another way of blessings or bearing fruits without Abiding in Christ Jesus... absolutely not !

And Jesus put forth an example of Himself as a Vine which is the the Trunk of the Grape plan or the Source of everything from which the branches absorb minerals to bear fruit, and we as branches which needs the sources from the Vine to bear Fruits. If we are abiding in Jesus we will bear fruits of the Spirit which is mentioned in Galatians 5:22,23.

Bearing Fruits

We know the Fruits which are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control these are the Fruits of the Spirit and the Bible also said that against such there is no law, means if we are Abiding in Christ and bear the Fruits of the Spirit no law can condemn us and against us. Spiritual benefits and Physical benefits by Abiding in Christ. So blessed are we that Christ is in us !

What is Abiding in Christ

That will require you to give time for Christ if you want to Abide in Him and Bear Fruits which will benefit your Spiritual and Physical life. Abide simply means 'to take hold permanently' that is called Abide. It is not easy to Abide in Christ and bear Fruits if we are not Obeying Him at His Word ! I am not judging anyone here but wanting to encourage everyone who has put his Faith in Christ to Abide in Him... !
The True Christian Faith doesn't start with Religious Orders but with Faith in Christ by Grace. So if we have started our Faith with Christ why not we Abide in Him as long as we live !
The Bible said in the Hebrews 12:2 "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith;" if we want to Abide in Him we must look to Him continually.


Conclusion : Dear Believers in Christ Abiding means continual fellowship with Christ Jesus Our Lord. I Believe this message would encouraged you to grow in Jesus and Abide in Him ... the Lord bless you ... for the Lord is good ... !!!

The Two Symbolical Lion from the Bible

The Bible portrayed Lion as a Symbol of Strength, Royalty, and Courage. Even in the mid-east ancient world excavations we see many engraving of lions in the Archaeological findings (esp: Babylonian). Some time people called Lion as the "King of the Forest", thus they gained fame throughout the World History, and even in the Bible ( for God made them ).

We are going to see who are those prominent Persons in the Bible described as the Lion. There are probably Two prominent Figures in the Bible so named as the Lion, the First One is Jesus Christ our Lord who is called " the Lion of the Tribe of Judah" Revelation 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. the second one is Satan called "as roaring lion" 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:



"The Lion of the Tribe of Judah" (Revelation 5:5)
(Jesus Christ, The Royal Majesty of the Kingly Linage of the Tribe of Judah)

This is the Title of Our Lord when He is to Open the Seven Seals in Heaven Before the Throne of God, the Four Living Beast, the Four and Twenty Elders, and before all the Heavenly hosts, He alone is found Worthy in Heaven, and on Earth, and Under the Earth to unseal the Scroll of the seven Seals. The Kingship of Jesus is also written in Matthew 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. (Compare: Micah 5:2). Jesus Christ is the Ruler and King not only for the People of Israel but also for all Nations and Tribes and Tongues. We known this as a believer as we read the Word of God. How the Lord gained the title "the Lion of the Tribe of Judah"?, before He gained this title He was the Lamb of God, which shows a form of a Servant, Humbled, Despised, Spitted, Scourged, Even Crucified on the Cross !

He is the Lamb of God as well as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah ! Even the Lord took the form of a Servant (as the Lamb of God) and suffered Death, And Overcame and Exalted Above every name ... and Found Worthy Alone in Heaven, on Earth, in under the Earth (Hell) and gained the Honor, Glory and Praise, Wisdom, Riches ... and Kingly title "Lion of the Tribe of Judah". When we say the Lion of the Tribe of Judah we are not saying the Lord is Lion but it is Symbolical term to Express His Majesty and Strength, because the Bible is full of Symbols. In the book of Revelation 4:7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. we see the Creatures before the throne of God, this shows that Almighty God respects His Creation. So it is not a wired thing for us to see our Lord Jesus Christ named or title as "the Lion of the Tribe of Judah".




'The roaring lion' 1 Peter 5:8
(the title of Satan the Deceiver, Accuser)

The Bible also mentioned another lesser and infidel lion as "the roaring lion" which seek it's prey to devour, that lion is Satan the arch-enemy of God. Satan always find faults with the Believers so in the Bible we see his another name "the accuser of our brethren" Revelation 12:10. The term 'roaring lion' might refer to the Hunger stricken angry lion, so Satan seeks to Destroy, Devour, Accuse, and Abuse John 10:10. Everything in up side down with "Jesus Christ" "the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.

Conclusion: If we have "The Lion of the Tribe of Judah" we need not afraid of 'the roaring lion' because the Bible said When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. Isaiah 59:19b. We are sure nothing can touch us except the Lord permits. So if we are in Christ and Christ in us Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Romans 8:37. The Lord bless you.

Jesus Or Denomination ... !!!

When the Church was Born in Jerusalem in the First Century AD, there were no Divisions in the Church, because there was Only One Church in Jerusalem even in the Entire World. In Acts 2 we see the Coming of the Holy Spirit soon after the Ascension of Jesus Christ Our Lord. While the Disciples waited the "Promised of the Father" (Luke 24:29) in the Upper Room even in Jerusalem.

When the Persecution came to the Church by Saul (Paul) in Jerusalem the Disciples fled or Spread out from Jerusalem and went even to Judea and Samaria (Acts 8), this might be the first step of the Church Growth in the Early First Century itself. Believers were named "Christianos" (Christian) meaning the "Followers of Christ" in the City called Antioch of Syria. So they were called "Christians" no other names beside...

In 1 Corinthians 1:12,13 we see Apostle Paul admonishing the believers in Corinth because there were divisions, " I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ " 1 Cor 1:12. This might be the First Denominational divisions in the Church of Early Believers.

Then Paul explained them in 1 Corinthians 3:3-9 especially in verse 6 "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." no Man's person or Denomination will gave us increased but God who made us Grow.

In Colossians 3:11 "Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ [is] all, and in all." It says there is No nor Should not be Divisions among the Body of Christ ...! "Christ Unites ... Denomination Divides" ...

Some said Baptist, and Some Pentecostal and Some Catholic ... ! Is Christ Divided ? was any Denomination Crucified for You ? if not, don't emphasis on Denomination But Christ Jesus the One Who Love and Crucified for you and i. And don't say i am this and i am that we all belong to Christ though we may be in different Denominations we are still One Body in Christ ...


The Lord bless you !

Are We Worthy Of God's Calling ?

The Bible speaks about walking worthily for God's calling, and even asked us to walk worthy of our calling.

"That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory." 1 Thessalonians 2:12

What is walking Worthy of the calling of God ?

It is that walking Daily with God and Obeying what His Word says ... The Devil sometime made us believe his lies and say "you can't walk worthy of God because you are imperfect" ... Though it seems to be True is not the Answer, yes we are Fallen mankind and imperfect in every ways we do. But the Truth and the Answer is, the Son of God made us Worthy Before God by Purchasing us with His Own Blood when He died on the Cross of Calvary 2000 years ago !
In Revelation 5:9,10 The people in Heaven Singing A New Song ...

“You are worthy to take the scroll

and to open its seals,

because you were slain,

and with your blood you purchased men for God

from every tribe and language and people and nation.

You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God,

and they will reign on the earth.”

So There is no Doubt that we are Worthy of God''s Calling by Jesus' Blood. Because the Word of God said it !

Another Thing ...!

How we are walking of God's calling ? We have been made Worthy of God's calling by the Blood of the Lamb of God. Are you walking in it's Worthiness or do we still made ourselves unworthy by indulging in Sin and the World's ways, it is for us to consider... there is no doubt that Christ has made us Worthy but am I walking in His Calling or not ? A Time has come for us to consider our ways, for the Bible says "Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways." Haggai 1:5.

Consider your ways, what a wonderful Word for the Last days Believers, and What a beautiful passage Spoken by the LORD of hosts couple of thousand years ago. So we must Consider our ways ! no choice, if our ways are not Right make U turn to God, if Our ways are Crooked Make it Straight, if Our ways be Foolish be Wise now ! Because we are Walking Worthy of God's Calling not of any men. It's Him The God Almighty, The Alpha and Omega, The LORD of Hosts, The Creator, The Savior, The Lion of the Tribe of Judah !

So My Dear Brother and Sister in Christ Let us now Consider are we Worthy of God's Calling ? And Let us Walk Worthy of God's Calling if we are not walking in it ... "We must obey God rather than men! Acts 5:29 ...The Lord Bless You ... !!!
