"O little Child! Born for me in a manger,
The little baby from the Heaven's palace the prince forever,
Where he had angels worship Him forever,
Now come for me as the poorest of the poor, lies as one among us together.

O my dear King! Mary your mother held you as baby,
Little did she realize that she was holding the King of all ages forever,
Who fed in the breast of a lowly women but not forever,
She was highly favored by God to hold the child who holds all creation together.

O all humanity! The greatest news ever,
That God is forever to reside here on earth forever,
Through this baby with you and me forever,
Never to leave us forever, but be with us as ever the same Immanuel together.

O dear all! Don't just look to your Christmas tree and Santa,
To get excited with all the good time of this season forever,
The greatest news still is to celebrate of how Christ changed you forever,
By that lowly birth, a holy life and how He died and rose again with us together.

O my dear friends! If Christ is not the reason for this season,
It is better to weep rather than froth, frolic and fret forever,
To enlighten us with a knowledge that turns tears of sorrow to joy forever,
With supplication to God that might now bring peace that will thrill us together.

O my Brothers and Sisters! Saints who place Christ at the center,
Just behold his righteousness to be made righteous forever,
Forever and ever, continue to abound in his heaven's life forever,
You will never be the same forever as you jump from glory to glory together." — Abraham Israel

IF JESUS IS NOT THE REASON FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS, DON"T CELEBRATE THIS SEASON WITHOUT THE TRUE REASON!

With A Thankful Heart, Are You Praising God Daily For His Gifts?

If You Walk, See Or Hear, Have You Been Thankful And Praising God For It?

Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

"IT IS GOOD TO GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES TO YOUR NAME, O MOST HIGH; TO DECLARE YOUR LOVINGKINDNESS IN THE MORNING, AND YOUR FAITHFULNESS EVERY NIGHT."1

"Today upon a bus, I saw a lovely maid with golden hair; I envied her—she seemed so happy, and how I wished I were so fair; When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle; she had one foot and wore a crutch, but as she passed, a smile. Oh God, forgive me when I whine, I have two feet—the world is mine.

"And when I stopped to buy some sweets, the lad who served me had such charm; he seemed to radiate good cheer, his manner was so kind and warm; I said, 'It's nice to deal with you, such courtesy I seldom find'; he turned and said, 'Oh, thank you sir.' And then I saw that he was blind. Oh, God, forgive me when I whine, I have two eyes, the world is mine.

"Then, when walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue; he stood and watched the others play, it seemed he knew not what to do; I stopped a moment, then I said, 'Why don't you join the others, dear?' He looked ahead without a word, and then I knew he could not hear. Oh God, forgive me when I whine, I have two ears, the world is mine.

"With feet to take me where I'd go; with eyes to see the sunsets glow, with ears to hear what I would know. I am blessed indeed. The world is mine; oh, God, forgive me when I whine."2

Many times we compare ourselves with others and tend to lust for something we do not have. This is being unthankful to God for who He has made us to be. All discontentment in life come from the heart that has found no reason to thank God for anything and everything. As we have seen in the above story, if only we can realize for a second to remember how God has gifted us with a feet to walk to our destination, eyes to see the world around us and ears to hear the melody of birds and words of everyone around us, we will have reason to thank God even if we have the gift of one or more of the above ability to experience this gift of life. May our hearts be filled with praise and thankfulness for who He is and what He has done for us unconditionally.

Pray With Me : "Dear God, please give to me a thankful heart—a heart to remember your lovingkindness every morning and your faithfulness every night—and that your blessings are new every morning and your faithfulness is unto all generations. And above all else beside I thank you with all my heart and soul that your 'so great salvation' and gift of eternal life has been given to me and also to 'whosoever will may come.' Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name, amen."

Do You Know Who He Is?

His Name Is J.E.S.U.S....JESUS!!!

Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

He is Lord Almighty ... Omnipotent King ... Lion of Judah ... Rock of Ages ... Prince of Peace ... King of Kings ... Lord of Lords ... Provider ... Protector ... Paternal Leader ... Ruling Lord ... and Reigning King of all the universe. He is Father ... He is Helper ... He is Guardian ... and He is God. He is the First and Last ... the Beginning and the End. He is the Keeper of creation and the Creator of all He keeps. He is the Architect of the universe and the Manager of all times. He always was, He always is, and He always will be. Unmoved, unchanged, undefeated, and never undone.

He was bruised and brought healing. He was pierced and eased pain. He was persecuted and bought freedom. He was dead and bought life. He is risen and brings power. He reigns and brings peace. The world can't understand Him, the armies can't defeat Him, the schools can't explain Him, and the leaders can't ignore Him. Herod couldn't kill Him, the Pharisees couldn't confuse Him, the people couldn't hold Him. Nero couldn't crush Him, Hitler couldn't silence Him, the New Age can't replace Him, and Donahue can't explain Him away.

He is Light, Love, Longevity, and Lord. He is Goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and God. He is Holy, Righteous, Mighty, Powerful, and Pure. His ways are right, His word is eternal, His will is unchanging, and His mind is on me. He is my Redeemer, He is my Savior, He is my guide, and He is my peace. He is my joy, He is my comfort, He is my Lord, and He rules my life. I serve Him because His bond is love, His burden is light, and His goal for me is abundant life. I follow Him because He is the Wisdom of the Wise, the Power of the Powerful, the Ancient of Days, the Ruler of Rulers, the Leader of Leaders, the Overseer of the overcomers, and the Sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to come. And, if that seems impressive, how about this? His goal is a relationship with ME!

He will never leave me, never forsake me, never mislead me, never forget me, never overlook me, and never cancel my appointment in His appointment book. When I fall, He lifts me up. When I fail, He forgives. When I am weak, He is strong. When I am lost, He is the way. When I am afraid, He is my courage. When I stumble, He steadies me. When I am hurt, He heals me. When I am broken, He mends me. When I am blind, He leads me. When I am hungry, He feeds me. When I face trials, He is with me. When I face persecution, He steels me. When I face problems, He comforts me. When I face loss, He provides for me. When I face death, He carries me Home.

He is everything for everybody, everywhere, every time, and every way. He is God. He is faithful, I am His, and He is mine. And, here is the reason I feel so secure: God said it, and that settles it. God is in control, I am on His side, and that means all is well with my soul.

Hallelujah! His name is Jesus. He lives in me and I live in Him. Glory be to His Holy Name!!!

Much Blessings....

Because He Died For Me, I Will See Him!

The Man That Died For Me

Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

In the Californian mining country stood a one-room mud cabin where a rough, hardened man lay dying. When Mrs. Barney went over the hills and visited him for the first time, her attempt to speak of Jesus and His death was met with oaths. “That’s all a lie,” the miner said, “Nobody ever died for others.” Her following visits were treated with less gratitude than a dog would have shown.

One night, convicted that she had not really cared for the dying miner, Mrs. Barney prayed, “Oh, Christ, give me a little glimpse of the worth of a human soul.” She stayed on her knees for hours as Calvary—where Christ died—became a reality to her. “The Lord is going to save him,” she told her husband.

The next morning, Mrs. Barney was accompanied by a neighbor with her little girl, Mamie. When the dying man heard the little girl’s beautiful laugh, he earnestly desired to see her. “I had a little girl once, and she died. Her name was Mamie. She cared for me. Nobody else did. Guess I’d been different if she’d lived. I’ve hated everybody since she died.” This affection strongly contrasted with the bitterness he felt towards his wife and mother.

“The dear Lord didn’t want her to be like them. He loved her better than you did. So He took her away,” said Mrs. Barney. “Don’t you want to see her again?” she asked. She told him of Jesus’ death on the cross, and soon Mamie prayed for the dying miner: “Dear Jesus, this man is sick. He has lost his ‘Little girl, and he feels bad about it. I’s so sorry for him, and he’s so sorry too. Won’t You help him, and show him where to find his ‘Little girl? Do please. Amen.”

The old man kept saying, “Tell Him more ‘bout it, tell Him everything,” and poured out such a torrent of confession! On the third day, he turned from everything to “the man who died for me”.

Some time after, a meeting was held in the cabin with boys from the mills and mines. “Boys,” declared the dying miner, “You know how the water runs down the sluice boxes and carries off the dirt and leaves the gold behind. Well the Blood of that Man [Jesus],” he continued, “went right over me just like that; it carried off ‘bout everything. But it left enough for me to see Mamie, and to see the Man that died for me. Oh, boys, can’t you love Him?”.

When Mrs. Barney was leaving the miner some days later, she saw that the end had come. “What shall I say tonight, Jack?” “Just good night,” he said. “What will you say to me when we meet again?” “I’ll say ‘good morning', up there.” That night the miner died—but his last words were: “Tell her I’m going to see the Man that died for me.”

Sea Of Life And Sea Of Death

A Tale Of Two Seas

Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

Sitting in the Geography cl-ass in school, I remember how fascinated I was when we were being taught all about the Dead Sea . As you probably recall, the Dead Sea is really a Lake , not a sea. Its so high in salt content that the human body can float easily. You can almost lie down and read a book! And all that saltiness has meant that there is no life at all in the Dead Sea . No fish. No vegetation. No sea animals. Nothing lives in the Dead sea .And hence the name: Dead Sea .

While the Dead Sea has remained etched in my memory, I don't seem to recall learning about the Sea of Galilee in my school Geography lesson. So when I heard about the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea - I was intrigued. Turns out that the Sea of Galilee is just north of the Dead Sea . Both the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea receive their water from river Jordan . And yet, they are very, very different.

Unlike the Dead Sea, the Sea of Galilee is pretty, resplendent with rich, colourful marine life. There are lots of plants. And lots of fish too. In fact, the sea of Galilee is home to over twenty different types of fishes.Same region, same source of water, and yet while one sea is full of life, the other is dead. How come? Here apparently is why. The River Jordan flows into the Sea of Galilee and then flows out. The water simply passes through the Sea of Galilee in and then out - and that keeps the Sea healthy and vibrant, teeming with marine life.

But the Dead Sea is so far below the mean sea level, that it has no outlet.The water flows in from the river Jordan , but does not flow out. There are no outlet streams. It is estimated that over a million tons of water evaporate from the Dead Sea every day. Leaving it salty. Too full of minerals. And unfit for any marine life. The Dead Sea takes water from the River Jordan, and holds it. It does not give. Result? No life at all.

Think about it. Life is not just about getting. Its about giving. We all need to be a bit like the Sea of Galilee . We are fortunate to get wealth, knowledge, love and respect. But if we don't learn to give, we could all end up like the Dead Sea . The love and the respect, the wealth and the knowledge could all evaporate. Like the water in the Dead Sea .

If we get the Dead Sea mentality of merely taking in more water, more money, more everything the results can be disastrous. Good idea to make sure that in the sea of your own life, you have outlets. Many outlets. For love and wealth - and everything else that you get in your life. Make sure you don't just get, you give too. Open the taps. And you'll open the floodgates to happiness.

Make that a habit. To share. To give. And experience life. Experience the magic!

"When you give, without doubt someone will be blessed to receive it. But as you give, you will be more blessed than that someone who has received from you because you are collecting eternal treasures in heaven as you give out trusting God to provide for your own need, along with that you are getting positioned to be a blessed dispenser of God's blessings and a extension of God's hand to others from heaven to the earth. There is no greater feeling of blessedness on earth than to be a ambassador of God, and without doubt the appointment for the post starts the day we start to learn how to give and share without expecting anything in return from anybody except God." — Abraham Israel

The Bus Driver Tests the Preacher

Preacher's Life Speaks To The Driver

Several years ago, a preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a church in Houston, Texas.

Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area.

When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, 'You'd better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it.'

Then he thought, 'Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter.

Who would worry about this little amount?

Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a gift from God and keep quiet.'

When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, 'Here, you gave me too much change.'

The driver, with a smile, replied, 'Aren' t you the new preacher in town?

I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to worship.

I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. I'll see you at church on Sunday.'

When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, 'Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter.'

Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read.

This is a really scary example of how much people watch us as Christians and will put us to the test!

Always be on guard -- and remember -- You carry the name of Christ on your Shoulders when you call yourself 'Christian.'

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

"When we let the light of Jesus Christ shine out of us, automatically it will dispel the darkness that stays within the mind of people who come in to contact with us, and that light of Christ will draw them towards God. Walk matters the most more than our talk, because walking is the true testimony that every one who looks at us is seeing to find out the truth themselves without us ever knowing it. Walking the talk is the best testimony you can ever share with people to find God through you!" — Abraham Israel

What Comes Out Of You When You Are Upset Is Who You Really Are.....

The Jars

Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

The preacher placed two identical jars on the table next to the pulpit. He quoted 1 Samuel 16:7 – “The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

“These jars came from the same factory, were made of the same materials, and can hold the same amount. But they are different,” he explained. Then he upset one and it oozed out honey. He turned over the other, and vinegar spilled out.

When a jar is upset, whatever is in it comes out. Until the jars were upset, they looked alike. The difference was within, and could not be seen. When they were upset, their contents were revealed.

Until we are upset we put on a good front. But when we are upset, we reveal our innermost thoughts and attitudes, for “out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:45)

What if someone tipped you over today? What if someone comes on the wrong way and causes a dent on your car or makes a scratch on your bike? What would flow out? Would you reveal the "honey" of grace and patience, or the "vinegar" of anger and sarcasm?

"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins" (1 Peter 4:8).

Unless people see the honey of God's love, grace and patience flowing out of us, they will never come to understand God through our lives.

Much Blessings....

The Little Boy And The Piano Master

The Piano Concert

Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

Wishing to encourage her young son's progress on the piano, a mother took her boy to a piano concert. After they were seated, the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her. Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the little boy quietly got up and eventually explored his way through a door marked "NO ADMITTANCE."

When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing. Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway piano on stage.

In horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard, innocently picking out "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano and whispered in the boy's ear, "Don't quit. Keep playing." Then leaning over, he reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a running obligato. Together, the old master and the young novice transformed a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience were mesmerized.

Remember that is the way it is with God in our lives too. What we can accomplish by our own talents are never noteworthy. We go in to unknown places by faith and we start to do something with what we have inspite of the risk we face constantly. God who wants to show Himself to all others around us, shows up on stage and encourages to "open our mouth and promises to fill it with words" (Psa 81:10). As we start to speak words with hands trembling and sweating, God starts to speak through us and ministers to the need of the people who have come expecting His Word to speak to them (Gal 4:13-14; 1 Cor 2:3-5). The same happens when we use whatever talents we have by faith for the glory of God. God joins in and uses us mightily for His Glory.

With the hands of our Master God Jesus playing his genius with us in partnership, truly our life's work will become beautiful. The next time your seem discouraged thinking, what talent do I have to serve the Master, listen carefully to the voice our Master Jesus speaking to you in your heart, "Don't quit, Keep doing what you can." Then you will feel His loving arms around you, carrying you and using you for His Glory. With God all your feeble attempts will become masterpieces that will mesmerize everyone around you.

Remember, God doesn't call the equipped because they will take the glory for themselves and be proud of what they did on their own, leaving God out completely inspite of using the gracious gift He has given them. But God equips the called so that they will know that God is using them inspite of their inabilities and insignificance for His Glory. Remember and be bold to do what you know best for God, He will be there to lovingly guide you to exhibit His glory to all those around you. It is not your ability that God is looking for, but your availability to be used for His purpose, so that He can reveal His glory through you.

Much Blessings....

A Imaginative Soon To Be Born Babies Conversation With God

A Babies Life Out On Earth With A Guardian Angel In The Flesh!

A Baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

"Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The Child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."

God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

Again the Child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"

God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."

The Child said, "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."

Again the Child said, "Who will protect me?"

God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking it's life."

Finally with a questioning look the child asked, "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."

"You will simply call her, 'Mom.'"

My sincere thanks, appreciation and gratitude to My Mom whom I remember and ask God to specially bless her today.

Happy Mothers Day To All Mom's!


Yours In His Service,

Be Careful in What you say and Do!

Proud Words Will Be Turned to Ashes

Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death! Make a personal reflection about the sudden end that came to some of these men and women who mocked God and bragged about themselves.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John Lennon (Beatles):

In 1966, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said: “Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that... I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him!"

Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ,

was shot six times and met his end in a very tragic way.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil):

During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency!

Sure, he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President,

then he died.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):

During a show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro ),while smoking his cigarette,

he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: “God, that’s for you.”

He died at the age of 32 of lung cancer in a horrible manner.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The man who built the Titanic:

After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: “Not even God can sink it!”

The result: We all know what happened to the Titanic.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marilyn Monroe (Actress)

She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the preacher had to say, she said: “I don’t need your Jesus.”

A week later, she was found dead in her apartment, having taken an overdose of sleeping pills to end her life.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bon Scott (Singer) The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC

On one of his 1979 songs he sang: “Don’t stop me; I’m going down all the way, down the highway to hell.”

On the 19thof February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, as he had been choked by his own vomit.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Campinas

In 2005, at Campinas, Brazil , a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend. The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends. So she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: “My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.”

She responded: “Only If He (God) travels in the trunk, ’cause inside here... it’s already full.”

Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident and everyone had died. It could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, but none was broken!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and Entertainer)

Hewitt said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written. In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One important thing we must never forget is, "36 ...that for every idle word [we] may speak, [we] ...will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by our words we will be justified, and by our words we will be condemned.” (Matt 12:35-37, Personalized). So always with the fear of God, let your words come out of your mouth and store good things in your heart to speak good things naturally out of your mouth. Allow God to control your tongue and may the anointing of the Lord make you speak anointed powerful words which will bring God's life and strength to yourself and all the people who will come in to contact with you to be around you.

Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and He is still alive.

“For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” Romans 14:11-12

God at Work

Only God Can Transform The Hearts Of Men!

A Professor of Surgery from Sydney University had just returned from the island of Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America where he had been continuing his studies into the life of the famous biologist, Charles Darwin.

He was reminded that even Charles Darwin, the man who propounded the theory of evolution, admitted the presence of sin within the hearts of people, particularly the natives of Tierra del Fuego whom he described as ‘the most savage people’ he had ever seen.

Darwin wrote that he found among the people the most horrifying savagery and bestiality beyond description. But when he returned there after a missionary arrived to work among the people, he was amazed at the change in them.

He acknowledged that the gospel does transform lives. He was so moved by what he saw that he contributed money to the mission until his death. He also wrote to a new minister in his home village:

“Your services have done more for our village in a few months than all our efforts for many years. We have never been able to reclaim a single drunkard, but through your services I do not know that there is a drunkard left in the village!”

Only the Gospel Can Transform a Nation. The Gospel is no gossip!

Creation : Points To Ponder

Dialogue Between A Atheist And God

WATCH. READ and HAVE YOUR SAY IN THE COMMENT!

DO YOU THINK MAN CAN PLAY GOD BY TRYING TO PLAY WITH TRANSGENESIS, GERMNLINE GENETIC MODIFICATION, CAMARAO, GENEDRIVE, CLONING, NANO TECHNOLOGY, ROBOTICS, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, INTERNET OF THINGS, CYBERNETICS .....ETC?

Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

An atheist scientist came to God and said, "We've figured out how to make a man without you."

God said, "OK, let me see you do it."

So the atheist bent down to the ground and scooped up a handful. But God stopped him and said, "Oh, no you don't. Get your own dirt!"

The bottom line is that no matter how brainy the community of scientists are, they do not create, but they just invent, discover and recreate what has been created by God.

GOD REIGNS OVER ALL HIS CREATION NOT BY CHOICE BUT BY OWNERSHIP!

Sin Thrills But Kills!

Sin Is Delightful, But It Is Also Deadly

Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

Many years ago, there was a snake – charmer. He was an expert in his trade. He could catch any snake and make it dance to his tune. People enjoyed watching his snakes dance. Once he went to a mountainside to catch some snakes. There he saw a small mountain – snake. He was captivated by its beauty. He brought it back to the town and started training it.

People warned him. They said it was highly dangerous to have that snake with him. But he never listened to them. What do they know about snakes? He had always loved snakes and they had always obeyed him. What can possibly go wrong now?

He took very special care of the small mountain – snake and taught him some nice tricks. The snake was growing at an alarming rate. People kept warning him. But his “snake – charmer instinct” kept reassuring him that all was well and there was no need to worry.

He and the mountain – snake would perform a special trick. At his command, the snake would climb over his body and give him a big “bear – hug” or shall we say, a big “snake – hug”? Then at his next command, the snake would climb down from his body and safely go back into his big basket. This went on for some years. People were delighted with this trick, but still kept warning him.

By now the snake – charmer was making a lot of money. He was enjoying the show very much. One day it was “business – as – usual” for him. He gave the command as usual and the snake obeyed as usual. It was a great show as usual. But, when the snake – charmer gave the second command, it turned out to be “business – unusual!” The snake refused to climb down from his body. He tried to get rid of the snake, but it would not let him go. Then, the snake started crushing him with the bones and the snake – charmer was killed. All because he would not give heed to the warning!

Sin is like a snake. Sin enters your life by your small wrong choice that you make to allow it to enter in to your life. Then as you play with it, it will definitely amuse you to a certain extent. It might even give you a false sense of confidence that it is under your command and control like it did to the snake charmer. Then it will begin to amuse many people through your indulgence as your spread it to make money out of it or spend as much as you have. Finally as you become under the bondage and grip of sin, it will make you feel that it is business as usual. When the delusion of the lie becomes like a strong truth as it seems to you, that is when it becomes business unusual and the snake of sin will bite with it deadly poison which leads to instant death in various areas of your God given life. Sin leads to death is the absolute truth that should always be kept in our minds, though sometimes death in our soul may get delayed as the mercy of God extends to save us who are lost in our pet sin. Sin thrills absolutely for sometime, but kills absolutely in the end too.

NO, DO NOT BE DECEIVED. COME BACK TO GOD NOW. CONFESS IT TO HIM. ASK HIM TO HELP YOU FORSAKE IT. HE’S READY TO RECEIVE YOU!!

"HE WHO CONCEALS HIS SINS DOES NOT PROSPER, BUT WHOEVER CONFESSES AND RENOUNCES THEM FINDS MERCY!" (Proverbs 28:13).

Gratitude Brings Heaven In To Your Lives!

The Poor Family's Gratitude

Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

As a poor, pious man was sitting by his little fire one cold evening, with his wife and children, he said to them, “I have been thinking a great deal today about that part of Scripture, ‘The Son of Man hath not where to lay His head.’ How wonderful it is, that we, who are so sinful, unworthy, and helpless, should be more favoured than he was!”

“It is wonderful, indeed, father,” said the eldest girl; “for though our house is mean, and our food scanty, compared with the houses and way of living of great folks, yet it seems that Jesus Christ was not so well provided for as we are.”

“I am right glad to hear you speak in that way, Sarah,” said the wife. “How happy we all are in our little dwelling this cold night; and as soon as we wish, we have beds to rest ourselves upon; wherein, sharp and piercing as the frost is, and bleak and stormy as the wind blows, we shall be comfortable and warm; and yet the Son of Man, as your father has just told us, ‘had not where to lay His head.’ O, that this thought may make us thankful for many mercies!”

"Tommy”, said the father, “reach that hymn, which our dear minister gave you last week at the Sunday School; and as our hearts are in a good frame, let us try to keep them so by singing it.”

The whole company, father, mother, and children, then, with a glow of sacred ardour and pleasure, sung the hymn entitled, “The Son of Man hath not where to lay His head.”

Here in the above story we see how a thankful heart towards God could be inculcated and be contagiously made to spread to all those around for what we have, when we compare ourselves to those who even do not even have what we have. Such gratitude of thankfulness could give us all great contentment for what we have.

At the same time when Jesus said, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” (Matt 8:20), it does not mean that Jesus described how poor He was to not even have a place to rest or buy a pillow and a mat to sleep. Instead Jesus used a figure of speech to convey to the certain scribe who came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go,” that when he wants to follow Jesus who does the will of God all the time according to heaven's instruction, then he has to forget about having a permanent place to sleep and a comfortable bed time. Implicitly Jesus was saying to that scribe who was very excited about following Jesus, that in the will of God, persecution might come and he will have flee from place to place, they might catch hold of him and bring him before kings and governors as a testimony for God, then from time to time food will not be placed in a table to be eaten and a time when no proper place to rest also might arise at certain times. And to another disciple who wanted to follow him, Jesus clearly expressed that in the will of God he might have to leave his father and mother and his fleshly family and relatives to go away to fulfill the will of God for his life. Sadly both of these above people did not follow Jesus further because they felt that the cost of the discipleship was great and that they were not able to leave their comfort zones.

But if we are thankful to God in the will of God with a gratitude for giving life as a gift to experience and not just hold on to our bodily comfort as the prime priority even above obeying the voice of God, then we will be very happy, joyful and content like the family above to experience heaven on earth again and again. Then we will also be followers of Jesus and his true disciples in the world as long as we are present. May God help us to be the true followers of Jesus!

The True Valentine!

Will You Be My Valentine Too?

By Abraham Israel

Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

I am not ashamed to say that Jesus is my valentine today,
Because He first was not ashamed to call me as His lover and loved me first even before I ever thought of loving Him;

When heaven was watching with bated breath about the group of sinners living on earth and the destiny of their progeny to come,
The righteous judgment of God's law that would condemn humanity to eternal condemnation of sinners den where the fire never quenches and worms never dies;

Love became human in Jesus and sacrificed Himself for the cause of the one to be loved which openly hated Him to death,
Grace blossomed and truth set the humanity free and it made me feel that I am a privileged one chosen by a Love so Divine;

God smiled on humanity who believed His love to embrace the lover sent by Him to rescue them,
Today I am privileged to be part of the family of God because of MY VALENTINE JESUS who loved me to death;

Today I live yet not I but My sweet Valentine who lives within my heart has called me to die to my self life,
In exchange He has promised the heavenly life of heaven more and more for each step I take to deny the world and die to my self;

If you have not yet found Love in your life, today the sweetest and the most loveliest of all bids you to come to Him,
He is Sweet Jesus the fairest of all who is asking you, "MY SWEET LOVE, WILL YOU BE MY VALENTINE TOO?"

When You Die To Yourself, Your Dream Will Come True!

The Three Trees

Once there were three trees on a hill in a woods.


They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, "Someday I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty."

Then the second tree said, "Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull."

Finally the third tree said, "I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me."

After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees.

When one came to the first tree he said, "This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter," and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.

At the second tree a woodsman said, "This looks like a strong tree, I should be able to sell it to the shipyard." The second tree was happy because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.

When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he knew that if they cut him down his dreams would not come true.

One of the woodsman said, "I don't need anything special from my tree so I'll take this one," and he cut it down.

When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed box for animals.He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for.

The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end.

The third tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark. The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams.

Then one day, a man and women came to the barn. She gave birth and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time.

Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water, a great storm arose and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man, and he stood and said "peace" and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the king of kings in its boat.

Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets as the people mocked the man who was carrying it. When they came to a stop, the man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill. When Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as was possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.

The moral of this story is that when things don't seem to be going your way, always know that God has a plan for you. When you die to yourself and give in to the plan of God that He has for your life, all your dreams might seem like it has gone dead, but suddenly when the appointed time of your life comes, all your dreams will resurrect itself, and you will be used mightily for the glory of God in such a way that you cannot even imagine in your wildest dream to fulfill it all with your strength or might even if you have lived a million years twice and have gone by your own way or will.

God will keep your dream in spiritual incubator if you feed yourself with faith and desire to fulfill it sincerely in your life, before you can realize the dreams will become a reality supernaturally because God's life will break forth out of which was formerly lifeless and just an idea until its appointed time for fulfillment comes. So keep believing the big dreams you have regarding serving God in a BIG WAY, one of these days it will become a reality in your life because God is behind it to fulfill it fully. Praise the Lord!

Much Blessings....

Are You Ignorant Of Satan’s Schemes?

Do Not Be Ignorant Of Satan Schemes!

Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

Three apprentice devils were being trained by Satan.

"What are you going to try today?" asked Satan.

The first apprentice replied, "I’m going to tell people that there is no God."

"Well," says Satan, "you can try. A few fools will believe you. But the universe shouts the existence of God. There is evidence all around, and you will not do very well.

Indeed, even in the secular twenty-first century – you may find yourself witnessing the slow death of atheism. Any other ideas?"

The second apprentice answered this: "I’m going to tell them that there is no judgment."

"That’s a better idea," says Satan. "You will persuade more people of that, especially some of the clergy. But human beings have a gut sense of accountability – that actions have consequences. They know what it is to feel guilty, even when their therapists tell them not to. So I think you’ll find it an uphill struggle. Anyone else have an idea?"

A third apprentice piped up, "I’m going to tell them that there is no need to hurry."

"Brilliant!" says Satan. "That is just what you need to say. You will have great success. Let them listen to the Word of God, and then whisper in their ears: This is good stuff. One day you ought to do something about this. But tomorrow will do."

What can we learn from this? Satan knows that the sin of procrastinating is something unique to deceive people easily in to lethargy and lack of spiritual progress because these days everybody thinks it is cool to say, "I will do it tomorrow." Tomorrow is only in fools calender and it will never come if not for God's mercy, so take God's help to do all things that edifies you spiritually today. When you take care of today with God's strength, God will take care of your tomorrow. As God has clearly said in His word that today is the day of His salvation, tomorrow may be too late or you might have missed much (2 Cor 6:2). Today is the day, use it as best as you can with the help of the Holy Spirit who is personally given to you by Jesus as a stand by support whenever you feel weak to fulfill or fail in your duties, if you are ready to acknowledge Him, He is ever available to support you with God's strength!

"So that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes!" (2 Corinthians 2:11).
