The ‘W’ ‘s we need…


Most often in a Christian life we struggle with the very idea of living a victorious life purchased by the blood of Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary.


You and me are not called to either live a defeated, sinful, fearful, struggling or dead life (paradox ! – you can breathe and still be dead – I have been one and have seen many around too). But the Christian calling is into an abundant life (John 10:10)…life in its FULLNESS – All encompassing richness. Did not the scripture say we have Peace, Joy and Righteousness in the Holy Spirit of God.


Oh …! How many times we have heard this and read this.


The problem is not that it gets repeated but it is to do with our comprehension, understanding and applying the same to our context. If only one can do it, that soul is the one that will cherish the most of the life on earth and in heaven.


How do we then live this abundant life? There are No shortcuts.


Lord Jesus knowing our frailty, being the perfect Holy Priest and our Brother is constantly interceeding for us – bridging the gap. You don't need any other mediums and means to reach your Abba. Put a word to your Brother Jesus who is the Eternal Priest who will win grace, mercy and goodness for your life forever.


No traditions can do it.


No vows and offerings can match this.


None can replace this.


The Eternal Holy Priest knew how to offer His Blood for our redemption. How much more He knows to pray for us to our Abba.

What should we do then? Just two 'W's will summarise this: Worship & Word.

■       Worship on bended knees – Ask the Master how to do it. Through out His life on earth He just pleased Abba who sent Him. Doing His will was His food. His life was a life of Worship. He found time to fellowship with Abba. These are the intimate moments that are required. Mind you, most of this happened not in any buildings or religious structures. Even the prayer He thought is not a prayer of formula (how many of us have this 'formula psychosis' and ridiculous repetitions). In His prayer, He just related to Abba. Period. If you can do this, you have Worshipped Him. If you can express and demonstrate your love to the Trinitarian God that is Worship. That's between you and God. Follow the Eternal Holy Priest Jesus Christ who modelled it. No books and liturgies can replace this.

■       Word – you need to read the Word and moresoever hear the anointed Word from the pulpit. If you sense a nudge in your spirit that word is diluted, soul pleasing and no more challenging and encouraging just get to the pasture where you can enjoy the banquet. "..It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."( Mat 4:4 ). Do not compromise on this. If Word is not there, there is no vision. Where there is no vision, there is only death. (Gen 15:1, 1 Sa 3:1, Psa 119:105, Pro 29:18)

By the way, these are not my convictions but the Truth. Rest needs justification, explanation, clarifications, doctrines and forums. Truth rest on itself.

Lets stop all our fancy works and acrobatics before the Throne of God and approach Him through Worship & Word.

If you are blessed…pass on the blessing.

Be blessed and stay alive in Christ Jesus who is Lord forever and who is to come!

Your Epitaph

Your Epitaph TGIF Today God Is First Volume 1 by Os Hillman Sunday, July 03 2011 "He will bless those who fear the Lord- small and great alike." Psalm 115:13 What will be written on your epitaph? How do you want people to remember you? What type of legacy will your life leave behind? I interviewed a very successful and powerful man one time for a magazine when this question came up. The man ran an international business that is a household name to all. He was a professed Christian, but he had difficulty answering my question. "I always knew someone would ask that question some day. I am not sure I am any more prepared to answer it now either," was the man's answer. He grappled for a few nice words, but it was clear he had not seriously considered his life much beyond his business success. It is said of George Washington Carver that he got up early in the morning each day to walk alone and pray. He asked God how he was to spend his day and what He wa...

Die or Think

There is a disturbing voice which is reverberating and its echoes are heard across the mountains and valleys. People are running like herds; churched and unchurched are the same in this. The voice that I hear is so familiar to all of us thought it might take various forms. “As a man thinketh, so is he” Wow. What a powerful truth. It will change your world. The power of your thinking, imagination, fantasy can just change you and therefore change your world. That’s nothing new. Isn’t it? What saddens me is the great philosophers of the world have screamed this aloud for several centuries now but I have not seen anyone changing for Great but just turn miserable. I do understand what you are going to say – does not the bible say so. Brilliant so you know the Bible; Am glad that you know the Word of God. Lets look at the verse in detail “.. as a man thinketh, so is he…” Prov. 23: 7 Should we look at only the verse 7 a or should you want to look at 7b as well. The full verse goes like this: ...

Starting Over

Bad time….still you can ‘start over’…This message was a real blessing to me and those of you who are caught up with the recession and the other worries…………   Starting Over The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. - James 1:9 Do you find yourself in humble circumstances? If so, James tells us that we are to take pride in this "high" position. These two things would seem to be an oxymoron. Most of us would not consider humble circumstances a high position. Successful business tells us that being on top means being wealthy, attaining favor and status, or having power to influence. However, Jesus influenced not from power, but from weakness. J.C. Penney is a name synonymous with department store. He first launched his chain of "The Golden Rule" stores in 1907. In 1910 his first wife died. Three years later, he incorporated as the J.C. Penney company. In 1923 his secon...
