GLORY
TO JESUS CHRIST This page is dedicated to worshipping the Holy Lord.
Have you ever been in the presence of the Holy God? Seek Me with all your heart and you will find Me, says the Lord.
------->Back to the top of the page. Do you really know Him? This question is a sharp one , and yet, very relevant. It does not matter how many times a person has been to church or how involved she or he is with the church or how many prayer meetings he or she attends. What ultimately matters, is that we are known to God and that we know Him intimately. No one can know God unless His Spirit moves in (The Kingdom of God is within you-Luke 17:21). It is impossible without His Spirit to know Him and please Him. We can know the Word, we can know all the Scriptures by heart, we can sing worship songs but unless His Spirit moves in from above, it is truly impossible to know the true God. The question we should ask ourselves is that is the Word learnt or has God Himself personally opened the secrets of the Word to me? Do I know that the living God is living inside me? The Bible says: "Examine yourselves,whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" (2 Cor 13:5) We need to be born again from above. We can call ourselves Christians, but truly, we are not, unless we have received His Spirit. (Matthew 7:21-23): "Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Do you know God and does He know you?
------->Back to the top of the page. How is your faith in Him? We all have great faith when things go well... If we had kept watch, we would not have let our house broken into. (Matthew 24:43) And, when big tribulations/turmoils come, where is our faith? How do we react to them? Do we lose faith in God that He does not know what He is doing? Or, do these events make us closer to the Lord and trust Him more regardless of what happens—regardless of the outcome in your life? God is always the winner. If we are in Christ, we must remember that every circumstance we face, is meant to glorify God, regardless whether the situation looks really horrible or good in human eyes. We love God’s blessings, but what happens to our faith when one or some of our earthly blessings start going away (or He allows them to be taken away)? And, when this kind of test of faith comes, are we ready? Have we been practicing every day, as the Lord says: ‘Watch and pray.’ We do not know when and where our faith is tested, before it happens. When it suddenly happens, when we least expect it, does our love for Him become bitter, and do we turn to the world, or do we keep faithful to God, and do we keep holding on to His promises, and do we keep our eyes on Him, regardless of our circumstances? God is perfect, and He knows our circumstances. Have we given up everything into His hands ? Are we ready to lose everything for the sake of Christ and His Gospel?
KEEP WATCH AND PRAY!
May God bless you. More coming soon God is a jealous God. Any earthly attachments/blessings must not come between God and us, if we are to be His disciples.

thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever." |
