"Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.-Matthew 5:3


There was something mystical and beautiful about Jesus' teachings. His profound words and acts always showcased the beauty of his character wrapped in Humbleness. The most famous words of Jesus also known as the beatitudes proclaims the mysteries to bridge the gap between us and His Kingdom.

Jesus opened his mouth and taught them saying : Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.
As humble as it sounds, it speaks to our inner beings and our depth of the soul must grasp the wisdom that our spirit needs to be lowly and poor to be accepted in the kingdom of Heaven.

God uses the beggarly elements of the world to carry out some of His greatest purposes. Moses was Honored as a Friend of God and there's a saying in Israel : "From Moses to Moses there's none like Moses". So what was so special about Moses?
God described him as the meekest man on the earth. God was very friendly with Moses because he had a very poor spirit that wasn't dependent upon his Abilities but God's plan.

Spiritual poverty denotes complete dependency upon God and not having any dependency upon self or others. Having no other expectations from anyone but God. It's realizing that we don't really have anything but God, whatever we have comes from God and belongs to God.

The Person who is poor in the Spirit is the most Satisfied person in the world because he has Nothing to depend upon but GOD and his Promises.

Prayer :

Heavenly father,
Make me the person that I am supposed to be, Teach me to be poor in the spirit and to walk according to your word. Thank you for everything that you've ever done in my life, let me depend upon you completely, In Jesus' name I pray
Amen

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,

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
