Blessedness of being Intimate with the Lord


He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

-Psalms 91 :1-2


Verse 1 is the key verse because it expresses about the
blessedness of a man who is intimate with God and explains the details regarding the whole Psalms. Here the word “ "Shelter" (or
secret place)” is the place of complete dependency and true intimacy with
the Lord but the word “dwell” speaks much more. It is more than a place
of visit. It is a place of continual residence (of trusting God
continually). Every believer’s highest priority in life is being intimate
with God, trusting Him and pleasing Him. Enoch was such a man (Gen
5:24, Heb 11:5). David desired this intimacy with all his heart (Ps 27:4)
John 15:7 says "If you remain in Me and let My words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! So as we dwell in
the shelter of the Most High we are continually dependant and intimate with
the Sovereign Ruler of the world who is Almighty God and then we shall
rest under the shadow of the Almighty
It means that the Omnipotent power and all
sufficiency of God will be our protection and provision. What a great
security !
Such a person can say the Lord (Yeshuaa) is my refuge and fortress from
trouble, and my God in whom I trust at all times.

Let us pray:

Father God, help me to be continually dependant on you and to have an intimate relationship with you all the time. Help me never to be disconnected from you even for a single moment in my thought. I want to dwell in your presence at all times because I know my comfort and protection comes from you and you alone. And therefore in the times of trouble Iwill not be shaken. I will say of the Lord, you are my refuge and fortress, My God, in whom I trust. In Jesus Mighty Name, I pray.

Amen.

Daily Word 6th October 2017 - Victor Mendonca He(Jesus) said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" -Matthew 16:15 Jesus didn't ask the disciples this question because he had an identity crisis. Nor did Jesus forgot who he was. He asked the disciples this question because he wanted them to discover the revelation of who he actually is. From the very beginning of the world, God has always been a revealer of his great plans, love, grace, mercy, compassion, provision, protection etc. God reveals Himself in the Old Testament: - Abraham got a revelation of God as Jehovah Jireh - God who provides in Genesis 22:13-14 - Exodus 3:2-8 Moses got a revelation of God as the deliverer at the burning bush, which was later fulfilled in Exodus 12:41-42 - Elijah got a revelation of God who answers by Fire in 1 Kings 18:24. God didn't put Elijah to shame in front of the prophets of Baal. - David the shepherd boy in his younger days got a revelation of God as His

Glorify Him.

Daily Word 16th Oct. 2017 - Shruti Vanjare “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” - Matthew 5:16 All glory, on Heaven and on Earth belongs to God. He created us so that the people recognize His glory through our behavior and standard of living. In the above verse, Jesus explains how you need to let your light shine before men. By this, He means that your walk with God should be according to His standard so they glorify our Father in Heaven. The world may carry on doing things monotonously without keeping in mind the God of all creation, but that shouldn't be the case with us, who believe. When they see the good works in you, they start glorifying the God who is within you because it's certain that nothing can else bring such a transformation, but Jesus Himself. “Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may,

Sunday, 8th October, 2017 Speaker : Pst. Manoj Arunkumar Summarization : Shruti Vanjare THE SUPERNATURAL MIRACLES OF JESUS CHRIST.  Jesus turning water into wine “I will turn your emptiness into fullness of Joy.”-Jesus.  John 2:1-12 On the third day, there was a wedding in Cana (Tuesday) When we go back to Genesis 1:9, the third day was the only place where God said “It is Good” twice. The marriage of Cana was conducted on the third day because it was a ‘good day.’ Cana of Galilee was the hometown of Jesus Christ and He and his family we're invited to the wedding. Jesus came to the wedding after defeating the devil in the wilderness as the Son of God. If you know the Word, you can defeat the devil. The marriage of Cana signifies turning your failures into blessing. There's a shortage of wine amidst the excitement of the marriage and there's a huge ceremony going on. According to the Jewish customs, wine symbolizes joy and happiness. The mother of Jesus
