God’s plan about our lives is bigger than we’ve ever imagined. But there is an enemy of God that may work in us to make that plan upside down. That’s our own flesh! “The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.” Rom 8.7 (NIV)‭‭

Flesh is God’s enemy in a situation. It will pressurize us to act or to take hasty decisions before God’s time. Many divisions and separations in families and churches are because of ego problems which is the other name for flesh. If we forgive and wait, we can see God’s hand working for our good. God never acts early or late, but at the right time. “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time.” ‭‭

1 Peter‬ ‭5:6‬ ( ‭NIV‬‬) Let us be humble to forgive, and wait and see God working out His big plans in our lives!

Have you ever thought to yourself why people get depressed and fear grips them for reasons they don’t know. I met a girl who came with her mother, totally depressed and lost in her mind. Felt very sad seeing her, as she used to be a very smart, intelligent girl an year ago. Many such stories, these are stories for us, but lives are getting ruined . Have we wondered why? Ambition is good, but not competition. Since childhood we are forced by all to compete with others which burns us on the way. Ambition gives us passion, but competition makes us selfish. Always the’ I ‘ am better attitude and finally a little failure ruins us. We must remember that we are not photostats but originals. There is competition among photostats to look alike or better but original remains unique. God does not have photostats, but every creation is original. Then why compete and encourage our selfishness which leads to fear of failure, depression, negative thoughts etc.

Each one of us are created with a unique gift and when you use that gift for others you will be so happy and will never fear nor will anything negative come near you. No wonder Jesus was different. He did not compete with the religious crowd but saw ways and means to make others’ lives better. Philippians 2:4,5 – ‘Let each one LOOK OUT not only for his own interests, but also for the interest of others. Let THIS MIND be in you which was also in Christ Jesus’.Lets LOOK OUT and see how we can change the lives of others.

How we can put a smile on their faces? Just your smile or a kind word or a kind gesture can change a person’s life. Don’t LOOK IN, but LOOK OUT and change the world, one person at a time. God bless you!!

The creator loved His creation soo much, that He Himself came down to save the creation for eternity. He could have sent an angel to do the mission. But, He Himself took on the mission coz He didn’t want to take any chances or maybe didn’t trust anyone because the creation was too precious for Him.What a love, the unapproachable Spirit God who lived in the Glory wore human flesh for eternity, even the angles could see Him now. He came to the planet He made just to be with His creation. Lived, Died and Rose Again, now anyone who believes unto Him will be saved and will have eternal life. All of this, JUST BECAUSE HE WAS IN LOVE!

Sometimes when a family goes through a challenge and the father is not there, the mother always consoles her children saying ‘Let daddy come. All will be fine’. Everyone is calm as they KNOW that when daddy comes he will set everything all right whatever it is, however worse the situation. This we are talking of a natural family, with a natural father, with all limitations. The bible says- don’t you know your maker is your husband? Also Ephesians 5:22 onwards clearly states a husband wife relationship and the climax is that, it is talking of Jesus Christ as the husband and we the church as HIS wife. HE is God and He HIMSELF takes responsibility for us. Like the mother who waits for the daddy to come to set things right, you don’t have to be worried and wait till he comes because HE has said I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS. HE also made a commitment I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU. WOW!! What a great confidence that HE takes all the responsibility and care that we can have REST in HIM?

Cheer up! You are in HIS prime attention. Rejoice!!For HE is in total control over everything. Look forward for greater things in life for IF GOD IS FOR YOU WHO CAN BE AGAINST YOU? What a loving FATHER, Caring HUSBAND, great FRIEND, everlasting COMPANION we have in Jesus Christ!!

What an amazing honour it is. You are the Extension of Heaven on earth!!

Jesus told us to be witnesses of HIM across the planet. Hallelujah!! Do you know how powerful that is? The bible says, whatever you do in word or in deed do it in the name of Jesus. So, each time you stand for HIM, you unknowingly become the extension of Heaven’s unlimited potential of power, riches, signs, wonders etc. As we lay our hands we dispense the power of God. Each time you stretch your hand in the name of Jesus, you are stretching the potential for that unlimited power. All you have to do is surrender to the will of God, speak in the name of Jesus and let the Holy Spirit do the release of the Power of Heaven.

What becomes a hinderance most of the time is when you try to do it depending on YOUR own strength and YOUR own reasoning faculty. The flesh will always try to give you confidence on your past achievements, experiences etc or discourage you with your past failures ( you have to realise the fact that both are just a random number of chemicals in your brain making you feel that way) .

Don’t try to do things on your own strength or confidence. Just depend on the Holy Spirit. Always rejoice and give thanks to God through Jesus Christ and pray without ceasing.
Let the Holy Spirit lead you so that you can Be an extension of Heaven.

Just know one thing for sure. You have the ability of God through Christ in you and all sufficiency for you by HIM. Now, what are you waiting for? All this is in you to prove to all the love of God and the power of God through you. So go ahead!! Heal the sick whom you come across and tell them that Jesus loves them. Yes…to all around you, and you will be amazed that they were waiting for you to tell them this. Jesus can do this, only through YOU. Come on! Don’t be ashamed or afraid. Just do it!!

Fix your eyes on Jesus and nothing in this world can stop you. You will become less sensitive to this world and more sensitive to the Holy Spirit. What the world tells you will be your secondary concern but instead what Jesus tells will become your ultimate reality.

When we lose focus on Jesus, all the worries, anxieties and doubts appear as we are giving the world the lordship of our lives. Just as in the bible, when Jesus walks on water in Mathew 5: 22-30, Peter’s initial focus is on Jesus, and he is defying the law of physics to walk on water. Soon you can see him sinking. Why? Because he lost his focus from Jesus.

He started to see the world around him… the wind, the ocean and more over he is walking on water!! That’s exactly what happens when we lose our focus from Jesus. The world becomes more sensitive and it will take a toll on our trust in Jesus. In Proverbs 3:5, He says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding”.

So let us give Jesus our undivided attention and fix our eyes on just Him and we can be overcomers of this world!

The Glory of God about which Jesus prayed to Father God (John 17:22), was for HIM to give you and me the same Glory that He had. That the Glory May Dwell with us and in us, so that the world may know that Jesus loves us.

On a personal level, it was for us to have fellowship with HIM.(1 Corinthians 1:9).

Just like Adam, and more ! He sinned and fell short of the Glory of God and lost his fellowship with Father God. From that day, God had the resurrection plan so that He could dwell and walk with HIS children again. But, it was a much more Glorious plan, where He is not walking with them in a garden at times, but dwelling in His Children forever, 24 hrs and 365 days, until their last breath on earth and first breath in the Everlasting. He did not want His children to fall short again, or to lose fellowship with HIM because it broke the Father’s heart and Jesus never wanted that to happen again. He was even ready to give Jesus as a sacrifice for us to have fellowship with HIM again.

What a great Father we have? Such a great love for us! Giving us the same Glory, because, only then we can talk and have fellowship with Father God. Only then can He dwell within us.

Let us enjoy the limitless provisions that He has for us in the Glory that He has given us. Let us abide in HIM and He in us. Let us give him our full acknowledgement for what HE has done for us. Let HIM become our number one priority .

Ask the Holy Spirit to make you fall in Love with HIM.

You will lack nothing. I mean nothing… if you abide in HIM!!
