Be Faithful in the Sheep pen

-

And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men. -Colossians 3:23.


God's purpose will find you in the place of your Current assignment. Let's look at the life of David, it was David's faithfulness in the sheep pens that prepared him to shepherd the nation of Israel. God chose David and took him from the sheep pens(Psalms 78:70). Now the Sheep pen was a place of David's current assignment, He had a promise to become a king but he never despised his current assignment. But he remained Faithful where God has planted him and whatever he did, he did it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, singing Psalms to God, delighting himself in the Lord and encouraging himself daily in the Lord. Your current state might not look like the thing which God has promised and it might just look like the opposite of the Good life which you've desired from the Lord but our Good good father works in mysterious ways. Who can ever imagine that the Son of a Carpenter from a small town called Nazareth would be the Savior of the world, and God would choose someone from a sheep pen who is despised by his own brothers, short in stature, a little guy(Read 1 Samuel 16:7) who contradicts the most basic qualifications required to be a king. Be Faithful where you're planted and work at it with all might, even if it's the smallest of the work and no one's even noticing you, just remember Colossians 3:23. Your sheep pen can be your workplace, your academics, your daily grind, your commitment towards the Lord, or a situation. Don't keep coveting Higher position, instead be faithful where you're planted and God will lift you up from your sheep pens and will place you in his purpose. *He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and He who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.(Luke 16:10).*


Prayer:

Heavenly Father,
Give me your Grace and strength that is required to be faithful where you've planted me for I cannot do this on my own, I need you. Thank you for your words.
In the name of Jesus'
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

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

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,
