You Are Never Alone
“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.” John 14:18 Jacob cheated on his brother Esau and fooled his father Isaac to get the blessings of the first-born. He ran away from his family and was travelling alone. But God was still with Jacob and in a dream, God showed Jacob a ladder from heaven with angels ascending and descending. And God said to him, “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go..” (Genesis 28:15). Yes, Jacob sinned against God and was running away from his family. But our God is still …

The Birth of Last Adam
There are many reasons as to why Jesus came into this world, that we cannot even comprehend and might find out more when we get to heaven but let us now look at some of the obvious just straight out of the Bible. “God in the beginning created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep” says the very first of the verse of the Bible. And God said “Let there be light, and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the …

For God, with God and of God
“I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.” Ecclesiastes 1:14. ‘Am busy’ or ‘I don’t have time’ has become a cliché these days and majority of the time it’s rightly so or at the least feels so. Because, this devotional’s writer too perceived that way and so wrote this at the last hour. The Preacher in Ecclesiastes, taken aback by man’s never-ending business, laments and pours out his indictment at its unending cycle and meaninglessness. The Preacher though the wisest the world has ever known, is lost …

“In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” Isaiah 30:15 The Universe is governed by laws and rules whether we know or are ignorant of it. Gravity is one such universal law that states every object in the universe attracts every other object. God has set a place for the Sun to rise out of the east and run down its course to the west. God has set boundaries and laws that we should abide by, and these apply to both believers and unbelievers. God created the Universe in 6 days …

“You will keep Him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:3 Keeping your mind from wandering is one of the trickiest things. When we are in an office status call, classroom session, during prayer, or sermon, our minds tend to go for a walk. In short, when the body is at rest the mind is not. People say the biggest battle we face is inside our minds. That’s where the enemy drops in the false thoughts as seeds. And when we don’t discern a false thought, for lack of fellowship with …

“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.” 1 John 4:18 The world sees Christ in many forms – a Good moral teacher, a Good man whose life was cut short terribly, a Saint, a Messenger from God, a Prophet and so on. But the Truth is that Christ is the Son of God who came down to earth, lived and died for us. That’s how we all believed and were saved by His Grace through faith. But after knowing Him as our Lord and Saviour, as time goes on how do we perceive Christ on …

“When I am afraid I will put my trust in You.” Psalm 56:3 Fear is common among both humans and animals. It’s one of the weapons that our enemy uses to make us stumble; stop us in our tracks from going forward in our walk with God. Fear is so prevalent in the world that they are all classified into different names that end with the term “Phobia”. I should accept here that I do have a fear of heights (Acrophobia) and weirdly about birds (Ornithophobia). You may wonder what, but I don’t like birds and their feathers, they seem …

“For He is our Friend who sticks closer than a brother.” Proverbs 18:24 As we draw near to the first Sunday of August, which the World observes as Friendship day, I would also want us all to see ‘What a Friend we have in Jesus’. I used to write one-liners on social and personal issues and to me – A Friend is Free till the End. The worldly friends that we talk about and the way they behave is little different from what our God tells the kind of friends He treats us to be. We so easily address a …

Arise and Shine
The Resurrection of Christ is the central theme of Christianity and also more importantly sets apart Christ above all other self-proclaimed gods!! All those who claimed to be an incarnation of God or something likewise are all buried and their graves are collecting dust. But we serve the One who has an open tomb and is Alive!! Glory to Him for He has risen!! The Life after death story is a mystery to the World, but is an eager expectation for the Saved. The Holy communion we take part in not only reminds us of the Passion of Christ, but …

“It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22,23 In the Bible, we see many names and titles being attributed to Our Lord God. God of Israel; God of All comfort; God of Restoration and so on. But He is also the God of Second Chances, to rightly say the God of Another Chance. Where would we all be, if our God was not the God of another chance, no one would have remained is the bitter truth – (Romans 3:23). We …
