Virtue of the Selfless.

Daily Word


24th October 2017 - Himalay Sharma


He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. -John 1:10


The World did not know Jesus, He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
Yet we desire to be treated better than him. Why?
Lets examine our daily walk with God.

Everyone has a desire to be known by people for Good things. Passion for Fame and Popularity eventually leads to an Hunger that can never be satisfied. There are some believers who wants to be popularity and fame from the world "through" Jesus and not "for" Jesus. They don't want to be used by God they want to use God. Selfish intentions are the fuel behind their service for Christ. There's just one sentence that can be used to describe such situation "Vanity of vanities".

But a person who really follows Christ knows His word and always pursues Christ likeness above everything else. He Denies himself, takes up his cross and offers a selfless service to his heavenly father out of Love and not out of Selfish intentions. He hides himself behind the cross and Glorifies God for everything that he does. Even when God lifts him up above everything he keeps on saying "He must increase, But I must decrease". His happiness comes from Jesus and not from others acceptance.
So lets be Honest towards God and ask ourselves this question, Are we really selfless or selfish?
Are we really following Jesus?

Jesus is an epitome of Selflessness. He always glorified God, carried out Father's will, took the sins of the world and gave us His righteousness, took our punishment and Exonerated us from the eternal judgement. Jesus took us from damnation to salvation.
Aren't we called to represent him?

Jesus is offering you much more than popularity or fame. He is offering you "Himself".

Somewhere we all are emotionally fractured and we need a Saviour to fix it. Let's repent and turn our faces to God and pray this prayer.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,
Help me to focus on the things of the above and not of the things of the below. Make me A selfless and Christ-Minded person. I repent of my selfishness and I throw myself on your Mercy. Thank you for your word.
In Jesus' name
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,

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
