All things.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. -Romans 8:28


There are times in our life when we think that we've messed up God's purpose in our life by our wrong decisions and we try to do things in our own way, without knowing that God can use our mess as a ingredient which is required to serve His purpose if we turn towards him and embrace his mercy for our life. No matter what life throws at us, Good things or bad things, problems or sickness, tough situations or heartbreak; if we keep on going back to God, looking for his mercy and love, then God uses all those things to take us to His greater purpose that He has for us. If we look at the story of Joseph, we see that he's been constantly tossed between awful situations and greivous circumstances and years are passing without a sign of fulfillment of God's purpose for him. Somehow the enemy's tactics intended for Joseph are coming to pass but Genesis 50:20 unfolds something different, Joseph said : You meant evil against me, But God meant it for Good. Your current state might not look like what God promised in the bible and your sufferings might mock you again and again and you can't see any possibility of the fulfillment of His promises for you in this practical world. Just remember Romans 8:28 and be fully convinced that God is using all these things to serve the purpose which God has in store for us and we live by faith and not by sight so never doubt God's promises just because you can't see them unfolding. For all things, (not just good things but bad things too) work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. The cross of the calvary is the most prominent example of this, God used something that kills and turned it to something that saves to fulfill which He spoke through his prophets. So carry your cross daily for it will lead you to God's purpose for your life.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your promise that you're using everything that I am going through to get me to your purpose which you've pre ordained in my life. Let your spirit be with me through this process. In Jesus' name.
Amen.

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

Like a Child!

Daily word ‌4th October 2017 - Himalay Sharma Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it. -Mark 10:15 Qualities of a little child 1) Submissive and dependent. A little child is submissive and dependent on his father for his daily needs. With a stubborn heart he keeps on asking his father for the things he want yet he is too innocent to trust the world and to let go off Daddy's finger. He keeps holding his father's hand wherever he goes because he trusts his Father's protection much more than his own sense of direction. If we address our God as "Father", then its important for us to behave like His children. In John 13:33 Jesus calls his disciples as Little children, not just children but little Children. Because little Children are not at all confident about their will and plans but their Confidence is in the Father's Will and Plan. 2) Obedience without Questioning. A child
