I tell you, in...

“I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left.” Luke 17:34

Are you the one who will be taken or left behind?
1% doubt only means that you are 100% not going to be taken. Let us analyse our life and be prepared for this day as if it shall be today itself. We are the one who make ouselves be elected. How? By making our ears spiritual, sensible to the word of God to hear and respond to the truth. By obeying and leaving the life of sin. As God announced in Philipians 2:12-13:

“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.”

So, let us make today & everyday a day of sanctification and wait for that night.
Let us be chosen…
“For many are called, but few are chosen” —Matthew 22:14

God bless you, Thash.

REPENT

All of these are only the beginning pains of the end.” Matthew 24:8

Why God is allowing all these to happen? he is only giving you a chance to repent. These apocalypstic signs are already written to happen in his word.
Believe in it, and REPENT. The end is near.
“He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death.”Revelation 2: 11

You, who overcome this world and sin by following Jesus, you will not be hurt by Eternal death in HELL. To those who rebel to the word of God will be burnt in the Lake of fire

MATTHEW 24

Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”
4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

Be prepared, God bless you.

Diamond

DIAMOND is the ultimate gemstone having many characteristics. Some are:

1. It is the hardest material (that is very strong)
2. Transparent
3. Brillant
4. Expensive and rare
5. Pure in nature
6. Beautiful

Who can say that diamonds are not beautiful and precious? Who can refuse a diamond gift? Who can pass by a diamond and leave it behind?No one can say the contrary because we are all aware of the value of DIAMONDS.
Henceforth, people of God, in order to please God me must actually be like these diamonds. God wants us to be valuable. Is it impossible? In fact, it is absolutely possible if we really want to it. How?
Let me explain pointwise in the order of the above characteristics.

• Diamond is the hardest material known. It is known for its toughness and strength. The are used as metal cutters in industries. Actually to have this measureless value, we need to be strong and courageous to face anything that come to our way. Toughness works with resistance. So, by being resistant we are being strong. We need to be tough, sharp to cut off all evils from our life. Radical to everything that come to oppose our faith and wears off all struggles without being broken. Philippians 4:13  I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
 

• Secondly, like diamonds, we need to be transparent. We must not show something that we are not, pretending in any way only to draw attention. We need to be sincere to ourselves and to our surroundings. This is what makes us different. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Hebrews 4:13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.  

 

• Diamond is brillant. When something is brillant, it means it is reflecting light. The more brillant it is, the more light it is reflecting. So, for us to be brillant, we need to reflect the light of God. We must be filled with God’s presence and illuminates in this world. Psalm 97:11 Light is shed upon the righteous and joy on the upright in heart.

 

• Diamonds are really very expensive and rare :so shall we be. We must be different from others. Not being conformed to this world ;in our ways, manners, character, fruits, etc. We must not be the easy- type person who accepts anything without discerning the good an the bad. We must be cautious and difficult. Not in the way to be repellant but in the way to attract others to become like us. Not to draw attention, but to make others see HIM through us. Psalm 139:14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.

 

• Pure in nature. Scientifically being pure means being free from any impurities and mixtures. But how can we be pure? We as spiritual beings we are divided into the three: Body, soul and spirit. So, to be pure we need to have a clean body, a clean soul and clean spirit. This means that we need to honour with our body and sanctify our flesh, we need to have clean heart free from hatred, egoism, jealousy, calomny, negative resentments,etc. We cannot be pure if we are still filled with impurities which come directly from hell. To be pure, we need to be filled with the Holy spirit. Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

 

• Diamonds are beautiful. Extraordinarily and mind-blowingly wonderful to the sight. So, how can be beautiful? We must keep in mind that spiritually speaking we are not talking about physical appearance here. To be beautiful in order to bear the value of a diamond,we need to be beautiful INSIDE. Internal beauty automatically reflects externally. The beautifuls are those who have a beautiful heart, those who are beautiful in their ways, attitudes, reactions towards others. A beautiful person is filled with love, joy and peace. So shall we be!! 1Peter3:3-4  Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. ⁴ Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.

So, people of God, if you really want to be like a diamond and be so valuable, you must want it and search for it! Good luck!

God bless you, Thash

Sight

 

And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. John 9: 39


Good people, Jesus came into this world to open the eyes of those who are spiritually blind. He came to bring light to those who are in darkness of sin and ignorance BUT who have a desire to change and seek illuminations for their life. Those who are humble to realise their miserable life and decide to change and find in Jesus christ the only way of grace and salvation.

BUT, he also came to those who THINK they are in light but are NOT. Who are proud to think that they know everything and harden their ears and hearts to the word of God. They think they are the key of knowledge and divinity that they are better than others; like the Scribes and the Pharisees. Their question to Jesus showed it in verse 40:
Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?”

Jesus came for  those who know the word of God and do contrary. Those who pretend to make proper use of it and abuse of God’s mercy. He came to snatch from them the TRUE LIGHT and make them blind.
So, people of God, whoever we are, Let us humble ouselves everyday and asked God to guide us, make his will in our life, help us understand his word and not be like the scribes. But to realise our mistakes, to repent sincerely, even though we have a very long christian life experience. Let us analyse ourselves and make us the one God wants us to be!Because our main objective on this Earth is not to make us be honoured, but to gain salvation and be honoured with the crown of life.

Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:4

God bless you

Fear of God

^” Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28

This verse clearly shows that there are many from “those” who can destroy our body but only “One” who  has the power to kill our soul. What does this mean?

“Those” here refers to Men and “One” to God. But if God has the capacity of killing the soul, why are there so many people who say that the Soul is Immortal?

Let me explain. Good people, this parable means that only God can either grant Eternal life or take it away. He can also revive those who are spiritually dead. So here, God is telling us to not fear what men, this world can do to us. To not fear the persecutions. To not fear the sacrifice we need to make, how much we need to be hurt, how much we need to disobey our own will, how much we need to sanctify our flesh, our needs, how much we need to be humiliated. Because all these can only destroy the body but cannot the soul of the One truly converted in Jesus Christ.
Because the more we are humiliated and resisting, the more we grow in faith, the more we are exercising to protect our soul. And it is then that we know the Real God; It is then that he manifests himself;only in our difficult situations where the world and those there are trying to knock us down.

BUT, the only thing we need to fear is God not granting us Eternal life, whereby our soul is thrown in the pit of fire. Fearing his fierceful Judgement and Eternal Death. Why the verse in Matthew 10:25 mentions the body? Its only because there in hell we shall feel everything that we are feeling here on earth. The Body is still the same.

So,people of God, our only main objective is to struggle to find Eternal life, struggle to do nothing that can snatch from us our crown: that is do nothing that is contrary to God’s word. To fear not to get or lose salvation.

Henceforth,for us to inherit the kingdom of God, we need to abandon the life of sin and confess Jesus Christ in this world. Do not fear how much you will need to sacrifice, lose, how narrow path you must travel,how much you would be persecuted, how long the journey shall be and how heavy the cross would be. Only focus to the only destination: YOUR SALVATION.

1 Samuel 12:14,15:
“If you fear the Lord and serve and obey him and do not rebel against his commands, and if both you and the king who reigns over you follow the Lord your God–good! But if you do not obey the Lord, and if you rebel against his commands, his hand will be against you, as it was against your fathers.”

God bless you, Thash

Supernatural Love

“For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? do not even the publicans this” Matthew 5:46 

Publicans, at the time of Jesus, were traitorous exortioners and almost by definition dishonest and heartless. They were the most despised people at that time and were considered thieves. But still as sinners as they were, there still exist love between them. But, what type of love?

Natural love, just, ordinary and self-centered. The love of the world.

Here, Jesus teaches us that when we love only those who love us, we are loving with the sinners’ type of love and this bears no Heavenly reward. Those who wants to make a difference and receive the reward from God, have to love in a different way with a different kind of love: SUPERNATURAL LOVE.

This type of love can only be understood by those who experienced the LOVE OF GOD. The love of God, good people is indiscriminate,perfect, everlasting, sacrificial, pure, strong,  measureless and wonderful. This is the love that God wants his children to have not only for those who love us but Mainly to the people who hate us, persecute us, do injustices to us, lie about us, and hurt us. For us to be like him and find perfection like he mentions in Matthew 5:48:
“Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

Those who are unable to love in this way, have not yet known Jesus, 1 John 4:8 mentions:
”Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”

So, people of God, let us today truly search the presence of God in our life. Have and encounter with him and be filled with his Holy spirit. This is the greatest reward that one shall receive. Let us love unconditionally and  undiscriminately.
^” But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”, Matthew 5: 44

Let us do this prayer together.
In faith, Thash

Being Watered

“Whoever brings blessing will be enriched and one who waters will himself be watered” Proverbs 11:25

Caring for others, giving a blessing and giving some of his time to those who need it always brings joy.
This is one of the values ​​that a Virtuous Woman has: “She reaches out to the poor, she reaches out to the needy” and  ”her lamp does not go out at night.” She is just filled with peace, happiness and is fully enriched.  She illuminates with God’s grace.
Henceforth, let us be the one who waters…

Your Value

Sparrows were the cheapest commodity sold in the markets as food for the poor. Yet, as worthless as sparrows were to people, God watched over them. The scope of God’s attentive care of his Creation is so great that even an insignificant sparrow cannot die without him being aware. So good people, do we not worth more that these sparrows???
 Here, Jesus assures that we can trust God’s sovereignty in our protection. He promises that God will closely watch over us during harsh situations and periods of persecution. You need not fear what the World can do to you but believe how the power of God can be manifested in your life.

Touch-me-not

Plants are sensitive to any changes in the immediate surroundings. They often react to these changes in a way beneficial to themselves. An example is the: Mimosa pudica plant: the Touch-me-not plant.
When this sensitive plant is touched, its leaves automatically fold up. Such a change or external influence is called a Stimulus. The reaction of the plant to the stimulus is known as a response.

Good people, this also applies to our spiritual life. We are far better than plants because we have an intelligence, faith and the Holy Spirit to guide us.

We must be like this plants, sensitive to identify the attacks and wiseness of the Evil. Know how to resist the stimulus of Satan and Respond to protect your faith. In the same way as when you touch something hot you move away, do the same thing when you are close to temptations. The Evil will flee from you.

 Like the bible says:
”Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you” (James 4:7)

God bless you, Thash
