Romans:11-14.
In the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them.
Sharing of the word:
My dear children, when a child of God was going around distributing tracts, he knocked at the door of the house. After a while, a man opened the door. The Christian offered him a trect. The man of the house angrily snactched the tract and banged the door and shut on his face.
Anxious to know why the man had been so upset and angry, the christian went back to the house after a few days. This time the man had a smile on his face when he opened the door. He invited the christian in and showed him the fan from which he had a rope to commit suicide. He had been in the act of putting his head into the noose that day, when the doorbell had rung.
"Anyway I am going to hell, why should I spend all my time in hell wondering who might have rung the bell? Let me see who is standing outside and then proceed with my suicide plan".
The sight of the man with the tract annoyed him, and he was going to chuck the track into the wastepaper basket when the words "YOU ARE SOMEONE SPECIAL", caught his eye. As he read a light dawned in his heart. He gave his life to the Lord.
Dear child of God, Don't go to heaven empty handed. What a joy it will be to be welcomed at the gates by souls you led to Christ.

Homesick,
Hebrews:11-15.
If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.
Sharing of the word:
My dear children, when Abraham left his country, he left it even in his mind.
However when Lot's wife left Sodom, she did not leave it in her heart hence she looked back and became a pillar of salt.
Dear childen, we may leave our drinking and smoking but we may still be cherishing
them in our heart.
So whatever it may be that the Lord asks us to leave, we must leave it in our heart and mind.
If heaven is a better country to you, you should be homesick while on earth.
Are you homesick for your heavenly home?
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Being Caught.
Matthew:14-31.
"Immediately Jesus stretched forth His hands and caught him (Peter)".
Sharing of the word:
My dear children, here the wonderful love of Jesus is menifested. It was not Peter who streached forth his hands, but Jesus. It was not Peter who caught Jesus, but Jesus who caught Peter.
Dear child of God, this is exactly what Jesus has done for us. When we were drowning in the sea of sin, sickness and suffering, Jesus approached us and stretched out His hands, and caught us.
After Jesus caught Peter, both of them started walking on the water - Peter had no more danger of drowning and no more fear!
What was the secreat that kept Peter above the waters? The promise "THE ETERNAL GOD IS THY REFUGE AND UNDERNEATH ARE THE EVERLASTING ARMS".
Wouldn't Peter have been thrilled to find the everlasting arms underneath his feet?
When we believe that Jesus has caught our hand we will be walking over our trials and will never have the fear of drowning.

Hide Thyself.
Colossians 3:3-4.
For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in Glory.
Sharing of the word.
My dear children, hide your life with Christ so when Christ appears we shall also appear with Him in Glory.
Unless we are now hidden in Him we cannot appear with Him in Glory when He comes.
Dear child of God, if you are longing for name and fame and the applause of the world, a day is going to come when your glory will turn to shame. However if you learn to hide yourself humbly in the Lord, then will come the glorious day when you will appear with Christ in glory.

Prayer Closet.
Psalm 91:1
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
Sharing of the word:
My dear children, What is this secret place? It is our prayer closet. If you don't love to be with the Lord for a long time, it means you are not living in the secret
place. It is true we cannot spend much time in prayer if we are tired.
But we should long for the presence of God as the deer pants for the water brooks.
Prayer life is remaining in the heart of God.
Once you experience he joy of dwelling in the heart of God you will not want to stop praying. Prayer life is a great fortress that no enemy can penetrate.
The devil simply trembles when he sees even the weakest saint on his knees.
So child of God maintain a life of prayer and live a healthy and prosperous life.
"ALONE WITH GOD THE DOORS ALL SHUT,
I SEE HIS FACE I FEEL HIS LOVE SO STRONG AND TRUE,
I KNOW HIS GRACE,
HIS COMFORT COMES IN STRENGTHENING POWER TO FILL MY HEART,
ALONG WITH GOD - HOW BLESSED IT IS TO COME APART".

How to speak.
Isaiah:50-4.
The Sovereign Lord has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listen like one being taught.
Sharing of the word:
My dear children, Jesus had the "tongue of the learned", therefore gracious words proceeded out of His mouth.
Many children of God know what to speak only few know how to speak. Words of love
or encouragement spoken in a harsh tone could result in discouragement and biterness.
To speak a word in season, we should not only know how to speak, but also when to speak.
A word spoken in due season, how good is it.
A LOVING WORD MAY HEAL AND BLESS.

Sharing of the word:
My dear children, "I will make a helper suitable for him", If God has created you,
given you the born again experience, God will arrange for you a fellowship that is suitable for you. You should'nt choose as you please.
Psalm 121-2 says, "My help comes from the Lord". What an encouraged it is to know that our God Himself will make a Bride that is perfectly suited to Him.
This work is done in the garden of God (Church). So let us always live in fellowship with one another - that we can become the Bride of Christ.

Faith.
Hebrews: 11-20.
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.
Sharing of the word:
My dear children, Faith helps us to not only receive blessings but also to be a blessing to others.
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau - here Jacob stands for saints and Esau for sinners.
Faith helps us to become a blessing to both saints and sinners.
Faith helps us not only to receive blessings, but also to give blessings to others.
Faith has a clear sight of the future. Unless we see future blessings for ourselves we will not see future blessings for others.
A child of God, who has faith has no fear of the future, only joy concerning the future.
Leave your worries at the feet of the Lord and rejoice over the glorious future.
Jeremiah:29-11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord,

Faith.
Hebrews: 11-29.
By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land, but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.
Sharing of the word:
My dear children, the dry ground was only for those who walk by faith. The natural became a supernatural one to those who believe the One who is supernatural.
The path opened for those who have faith - cannot be used by those who have unbelief. By faith the Israelites passed through the Red Sea as by the dry land. However the same path brought only destruction to the Egyptians who tried to use it.
The raven changed their nature only for the sake of Elijah.
The moon and the sun made it stand still for a while, honouring Joshua's faith.
The Bible tells us, without faith we cannot please God. So my dear children lets pray and ask God to fill us with that unmearsurable faith.

Sharing of the word:
My dear children, We do not choose Him. He chose us first, ordained us set us as a testmony and revealed His grace through us to a sinful world. He has put His name on us, His nature within us, His word in our hearts and His praise in our mouths - He made it complete.
God simply asks us to praise Him and thereby enter into His fullness of this personal relationship.
He is not just our Redeemer, Creator, Lord of the universe. He is our Saviour, our Lord, our Bridegroom and your soon coming King.

The righteousness of God.
2 Corinthians 5-21.
God made Him who had no sin, to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
Sharing of the word:
My dear children, Jesus paid it all for us in Calvary. From the Cross there rang a cry that shook the very foundation of hell and produced shouts of joy in heaven.
"IT IS FINISHED", He cried and at that moment every price that God would ever extract for sin, every penalty that could ever be levied for violation of God's law
and everything that was owed because of sin was paid in full.
As Christ died every sin boundage was broken. Sin became a caged toothless lion, totally harmless, if we stay outside the cage.
What God had planned, He had now performed. Men could now be fully forgiven because the price had been fully paid.

Mystery.
Ephesians:1-9
Having made known to us the Mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Christ.
Sharing of the word:
My dear children, The New Testment usage of the word mystery does not denote the mysterious, but signifies that we have already seen, that which can be known only by divine revelation. The work of the Cross, has initiated us into God.
The death of our sinful self and the impartation of divine life have taken us out of the common life and have put us in the very uncommon - It is from the natural into the spritual.
This work of grace, this action of the cross, opens us to the recipients of the mysteries of god.

Invisible God.
Colossians:1-15.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
Sharing of the word:
My dear children, the revelation of Jesus - He bore the image of the Father in His ways, works, words and will, but at the second revelation of God as shown in the Book of Revelation that mankind will see that in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.
All God's nature - holiness, wisdom, dominion and authority will be seen in Jesus, who will continue to be the visible physical demonstration of the invisible God throughout all eternity.
The Book of Revelation shows that Jesus seated upon the throne, Jesus acting in
judgement upon the earth, Jesus responding to the prayers of the saints and Jesus welcoming the redeemed into eternal glory.
The creator brought the creation into a harmonious fellowship with God.

Confusion.
1 Corinthians:14-33.
For God is not the author of confusion but of peace.
Sharing of the word:
My dear children, please remember that confusion is not the enemy of faith, it is the by-product of faith. His dealing in our lives can be very confusing to the soulish nature in all of us. Our spirit respond favourable to God's Spirit.
True worship will always demand that our vision rise from the earthly to the heavenlies, that our will be in perfect accord with God's will, and that His thoughts replace our thoughts.
The more this becomes true in our lives, the less confusion we will have when we are in the presence of God.

King of Kings.
John:19-15.
Shall I crucify your King? Pilate asked.
Sharing of the word:
My dear children, Jesus was crucified as a King. The title of conviction that was placed over the cross at the orders of Pilate read "JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS' (John:19-19.)
God's purpose in Christ's coming was that He be King. People recognized this but rejected Him.
He was called King by the Magi, considered King by the disciples, almost made King by the multitudes, crowned King by the Palm Sunday worshippers, charged as a King by the Chief Prists, convicted as King by the Romans soldiers.
But once again man's actions could not change God's attitudes. God raised Jesus from the dead and name Him 'KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS' (Rev:19-16).
Jesus is King by God's actions not by man's acceptances.
Dear child of God, He is not merely a King in our minds. He is God's King over God's Kingdom.
