May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15: 13
Word:
Jesus said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.” Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. Luke 24: 45
Thought:
How is our everyday walk with our LORD? Are we spending quality time in the presence of God? I personally believe that nothing is more essential than carrying the presence of God wherever He leads us. God has called us to fix our eyes on Jesus. Let us do some self-analysis and make corrections wherever required.
Let us ask God to give a total restoration and a great revival for our spiritual eyes to focus clearly, to see the people and their souls like Him.
A backslider cannot pray, and a prayer warrior cannot dwell in sin.
“Transformed souls impacting the campuses and the globe as disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Be brave and courageous! Our future is secure in Christ Jesus because he knows all about it.
Have a Victorious walk in Christ

The top four outstanding qualities of a Godly woman: Godly Woman – Proverb 31: 10-31
Commitment / Loyalty
Industrious / Diligent
Charity / Love
Beautiful speech / Wise and kind words
A godly woman has an excellent spirit of devotion and the essence of excellence. She is honorable, faithful, pure, upright before God, family, and others, trustworthy, capable, intelligent, diligent, generous, and kind. She works with her hands and provides food for her household. The Holy Spirit controls the tongue and gives a beautiful speech, which spills from the Holy Spirit-filled hearts. The Bible says in Proverbs 11:13, A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret. A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1. The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Proverbs 12:18.
Let us train our eyes to see well, tongue to speak well, and ears to hear well. Do not allow them to wander to their will and wish, making us miserably fail and fall. Make Bible reading, meditation, prayer time, and witness-full life inseparable habits; they are the four pillars for a strong Christ Jesus-centered Spiritual life.
Refrain from evil things because, behind every evil thing, only the evil-doer devil will be there!
Looks don’t last; Character does. Superficial attractions may prove inadequate in the long run.
God could move people, places, and things to accomplish His will. Trust God!
Mountains and Valleys of Life:
Deuteronomy 11: 11-12 But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven. It is a land the Lord your God cares for; the eyes of the Lord your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.
Psalms 23: 4 says, Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
God made everything in the cosmos, from the microscopic amoeba and things to the vast planets and galaxies. For example, The radius of the sun is 432,690 miles.
A few days ago, we saw a beautiful rainbow on top of our city. What’s all about the rainbow?
Noah: A bright star in a dark sky! God says in Genesis 9:13-16, I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth, and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”The Bible also talks about Noah’s time and Lot’s time. Luke 17: 26-29:” Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying, and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then, the flood came and destroyed them all. “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
Jesus says in verse 32, Remember Lot’s wife! Moral values, purity in heart, and sexual purity have become less important in Noah and Lot’s time. Sad progression in fascination with living on the edge. Sin is serious; do not play with it.
The Bible says in James 4:7, Come near to God, and he will come near to you. True contentment comes only when we submit our lives to God and follow his plan. The word “remember” from a Google search shows as follows: The root word for “remember” is memor, which means “remembering”. The word “remember” comes from the Middle English word remembren, which comes from the Anglo-French word remembrer, which comes from the Late Latin word rememorari. Rememorari comes from the Latin words re- and memorari, which mean “to be mindful of” and “mindful”, respectively. Here are a few verses from the Bible that have the word “remember.
“For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more. Hebrews 8:12
Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them.” Ecclesiastes 12:1
But from everlasting to everlasting, the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children—with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts. Psalm 103:17-18
God remembered His people in His time! Trust God and Trust His unseen hands!
Let us do some self-analysis in the presence of God and make wise choices in our walk with the LORD.
Moses: God spoke to Moses amid the fire, and he received a burning bush experience on an ordinary day. During that day, Moses chose to turn his life to God. We can divide Moses’s life into three sections. I. God used Moses’ mother to protect Moses by placing him in a reed basket and floating him down the Nile River, where Pharoh’s daughter found him. First 40 years – As a Prince in Egypt and a privileged icon of royalty, he received a different education. II. Second 40 years – God’s wilderness classroom – God’s School of Suffering III. Third 40 years – God called him to lead his people from slavery to freedom, even though he was a reluctant candidate for this leadership position. God provides – Numbers 1:45 and 46 say, All the Israelites twenty years old or older who could serve in Israel’s army were counted according to their families. The total number was 603,550. Nothing quite equals God’s feeding program plan for his people in the wilderness. I estimate 3,000,000 people X 3 meals a day X 365 days X 40 years = 1,31,400,000,000 (One hundred thirty-one Billion and four hundred million, i.e., 131.4 Billion meals). The longest-running miracle of all time is “you.” Yes, we are! Personal call for you: God saved our forefathers through thousands of years from the creation, even in the middle of a flood, war, and natural calamities, and brought us into this World. God well planned God’s sovereign plan in Christ Jesus for you and me before the earth’s foundations (Ephesians 1). Moses demonstrated God’s demanding holiness, but he also showed God’s amazing grace. Moses appeared with Elijah and Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17:2). Even though Moses didn’t physically enter the promised land, God brought him back to Jesus after around 13 centuries (Moses 1391–1271 BC). The Sovereignty of God: God is sovereign, He is in charge. When your life seems chaotic, rest in this truth and His arms. God is in control; Jesus is LORD, and the Holy Spirit is with you as Jesus Promised. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. Romans 8: 11 You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. II Corinthians 3: 2-3
Only one person who lives on the planet has a perfect resume: the LORD Jesus Christ.
This faith journey was started by God for his glory through us (Hebrews 12: 1 – 2) in Christ Jesus. Never give up! Don’t permit any room to satanic devices in any form, such as thoughts, deeds, or actions, but pull down the strongholds by prayer (II Cor 10: 4). Are we remembering God’s forgiveness and his natural grace every moment of our life? If not, let’s turn our hearts to him today and follow him.
Jesus doesn’t need fans but Disciples! We can overcome the resentment in the name of Jesus.
The Bible says, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8: 36
May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. II Peter 1: 2
Word: Psalms 63: 1 -8
O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water.2 Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. Because Your loving kindness is better than life, My lips will praise You. So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips. When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches, For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings, I sing for joy. My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.
In these Bible verses, King David reviewed all the ways God had already helped him, and he greeted the next day with songs of praise. In our quiet moments or wakeful nights, make it a point to count examples of God’s faithfulness to us. Doing so is far more likely to give us rest than any other items we might count!
Have a Victorious walk in Christ
HAZAK HAZAK, V’NITCHAZEK – “Be Strong. Be strong and be strengthened”.
Dear all, May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word. II Thes 2: 16 – 17
Life Through the Spirit: For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him, we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings so that we may also share in his glory. Romans 8: 14-17
EVANGELISM | DISCIPLESHIP | LEADERSHIP | PASS IT ON When God wants to accomplish a work, He always prepares His people and puts them in the right places at the right time. Even a common conversation with a friend or a relative on an ordinary day could lead to a life-changing experience. Diamond begins its life journey as coal is formed, found, and polished over time! Always remember your life has a purpose that God will fulfill. You were made by God for a great purpose – to shine from the inside out.
