When Christ is born..

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.                          Isaiah 9:6

It is true that Jesus Christ, Son of God was born into this world and died for our sins. He redeemed us by his blood. But all this sacrifices go in vain if Christ is not born in our heart.

Jesus Christ was born to virgin Mary. Jesus was placed in a manger,because there was no room for them in the inn. Likewise when Jesus is born in a man's life. Man gives Him no room to stay (Jesus).Even if they give Him a place He will be placed in the corner of their heart (manger). He wants to be born in the hearts of the people, but very few of them open their hearts for him. 'Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and open the door, I will come in and eat with him and he with me.Revelation 4:20 

 When Jesus was born into this world, Angels sang songs and praised God. Wise men ( the three Kings), Shepherds came to see Jesus. When Jesus is born in your heart, or when you accept Jesus as your saviour, there is a celebration in heaven.                                      

In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the Angels of God over one sinner who repents.            Luke 15:10      

Angels celebrate when Jesus is born in  a man's heart. The people around the man will see the changes in his life. The manger was there for a long time but no one paid any attention to it. But when baby Jesus was kept in that manger. Shepherds couldn't sleep. They rose from their place to see Jesus lying in the manger. Wise men came to see the baby Jesus. People who look at you in disgust. People who thought you were a useless manger will come to see you when Jesus is born in your heart. The changes in your life will make them  glorify God. 

But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.         Luke 2:19    

Mary who had carried Jesus in her womb for nine months saw His birth and His greatness.Every time she saw and heard the miracles Jesus performed, she treasured it up in her heart. When you carry Jesus in your heart, oppositions are bound to come, miracles are bound to happen, but make sure you treasure up the things He does for you in your heart. For He is worthy of all praises. 

 Jesus Christ wants to be born in your hearts. How many of you will open your hearts for Him? How many of you will accept Jesus as your Saviour? Every arrow that has His name will be place in the             QUIVER OF GOD.

Cut down, to be Grafted.

Image
When your words came, I ate them: they were my joy and my heart's delight, O Lord GOD Almighty.  I never sat in the company of revellers never made merry with them;I sat alone because your hand was on me and you had filled me with indignation. Why is my pain unending and my wound grievous and incurable? Will you be to me like a deceptive Brook like a spring that fails? Jeremiah 15:16-18 We all know how joyful it is to recieve the word from GOD. When promise comes people leave their household like Abraham, they completely forget everything and follow the promisekeeper. But to reach the fulfillment of promise people go through many difficulties. They are cut down completely, and are alone with only promise in their hand. Jacob recieves the promise or blessing from Isaac and from that time onwards he was alone,  alone in Bethel, alone in Laban's house, alone when his wives fought over. Joseph saw dreams and got so excited that he started to tell his brothers resulting in an exclu...

Who do people say I am?

Image
  Does it matter to us what others think about us? If we were to listen to every others perspective about us, then perhaps no one can live on this planet. Generally, people say never get bothered about what others think and say about you. When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”     Mathew 16:13,14 In this passage, it seems that Jesus wants to know what others thought about him. Not that it mattered to him but He just wanted an opinion from his disciples about what others thought about him. Jesus always knew what others thought about him. There were many serious accusations against him. He was called rabbi by some people, whereas some people said he was possessed by Beelzebub. Some said he was just a carpenter’s son. These things never bothered Jesus or his ministry. But now,...

One GOD, Who plays many roles for us..[Part 2]

Image
Almighty GOD, who reveals himself in different roles, in different situation,for different purpose. He plays his part perfectly, be it as a friend for Abraham or a father to Jacob. He is perfect.  GOD wanted to play the role of a king in the lives of Israel. Hence, only judges were appointed but they wanted a Human king who can Lord over them and show  other countries that they too have a king. But what they didn't know was that GOD will play the role even if they don't accept it. Hence, When Son of GOD died on the cross a written charge was placed saying 'THE KING OF THE JEWS' , a king (a leader) taking all the sins of his people on his own head and taking the punishment. My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 1 John 2:1.                                       ...

Are you zealous for God..

Image
The zeal towards God defines our relationship with God. People who are zealous for God mostly have a good relationship with the Almighty. Greater the anointing of God greater will be the zeal for God. If one loses the anointing, he will eventually lose his zeal. The zeal that comes under pressure. Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, “Come, let’s go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised fellows. Perhaps the Lord will act on our behalf. Nothing can hinder the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few.” 1 Samuel 14:6   When Philistines tried to defeat Israel, they came with a plan to stop the production of weapons in the land of Israel. Somehow, they brought all the blacksmiths of Israel to Philistine. Only two swords were found in Israel. One was with King Saul and the other was with Prince Jonathan. For many days Philistine threatened Israel and brave soldiers went into hiding. They hid themselves in caves and holes of mountains. Jonathan got frustrated by the da...

Five Senses of a Christian man- Ears hear..

Image
Humans do have five senses with which they try to rule this world. These five senses help them to understand nature and their surrounding and they react accordingly. In our Christian life, these senses can help us to stay closer to God or can drive us away from God.  'Hearing' is one of the senses with which we percieve our surrounding. Most of us would prefer calmer places and would hope to find rest for our ears, or soothing voices that can revive our ears from all the disturbance and  noises we heard in our entire life. This is what happens to a Christian man,  he likes to hear God's voice but the noises that the demon creates confuses him. Ultimately he closes his ears and in his closed ears he hears the noises that the devil created, and he chooses that.  Eve used all five senses to sin. She heard the Serpent, saw the fruit, touched it, must have smelled it, and ultimately  tasted it. Notable  point here is that hearing can lead us to sin, and can infl...

Standing on the promise of GOD

Image
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.                                                Hebrews 10:23 Promises of GOD keeps us motivated to move forward in Christ. A promise that was made by JESUS two thousand years ago that he will return keeps us motivated and we are waiting on him eagerly. A promise can change life. GOD saw Abraham and said leave your household and promised him to make him into great nations (Genesis 12:1,2).JESUS saw Peter and said 'Follow me , I will make you fishers of men.' (Mathew 4:19) and Ta...Da...Peter's life changed . Everytime GOD promised , people 's life changed or put it this way his promises are meant to change people.  Promises are meant to be kept not to be broken. Promise is directly proportional to the faith in the person who promised. If you have faith on a person it means you know he...
