Seperated and Soaked

Daily Walk through the Psalms

 26 September 2017


Read Psalms 1:3-6 (NIV)
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prosper Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.


Separated and Soaked in His Presence

Yesterday’s devotion I mentioned that God blessed us so that we might be a blessing to others. But He has given us certain conditions for receiving these blessings. Let us see what they are.

First, we must be separated from the world (vs 1).  Now here the world is anything that separates us from God or causes us to disobey Him. Separation is not isolation but contact without contamination. 

Sin is a gradual process. Notice in verse 1. He is walking (Mk 14:54), standing (Jn 18:18) and then sitting (Lk 22:55). Becoming wordly is a process. First we make friends with the world; then gradually we love the world, become confirmed to it and end up condemned with it. Lot is an example who became worldly. He looked towards Sodom, pitched his tent toward Sodom, live there, lost everything and ended in sin.

Second, we must be soaked with the Word (vs 2). Whatever delights us directs us. We soak ourselves with the Word by meditating on it and by doing so we allow the Spirit of God within us to “digest” the Word of God for us. So then not only do we delight in the Word, but now it becomes for a source of spiritual nourishment for us.
Enjoy the blessings God has for you and allow Him to make you a blessing to others.

Let us pray:
Father, we ask you to help to be separated from the world and keep ourselves soaked and saturated in the Word so that we will not miss your blessings. Help us to meditate on your Word and obey it so that we can be a blessing to others. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen !

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

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
