Moves ahead


God moves ahead of you 1Chron:14:15

What bolster of tenacity? What cushion of chutzpah? What boost of confidence and morale, when you truly realize that whatever you are in, the Lord moves ahead of you.
In the midst of uncertainty and unconfidence, there is surity.

Going through a job interview? Going for an exam? Financial uncertainty looming around? Fearful of very many things? The Lord moves ahead of you.

A categorical statement which escalates your trust in Him more. From the abstract, God moves to reality. From the shadows He becomes the obvious. That is exactly what we need to remind ourselves today. That God is very much real in our lives. Devil has partially succeeded in making us believe in this lie. That God is abstruse. Where as God promises and He is faithful in fulfilling the promise He hath made, to move ahead of us. Has He not done in the past? When all was looking gloomy, the sun comes out of the shadows suddenly. Look back and see how God has been moving ahead of us.

Thankless as we are, we make forgetfulness our garland and ungratefulness our precious stones. We tend to forget. We choose to draw a blank.
Let us look forward with boldness, at the uncertainties  of life at the face and say that my big brother is ahead. He knows. He has already claimed victory. Let us look at the enemy at his eyes and say, no claims on me is guaranteed. Hitherto the Lord has helped. He will guide further.
When the mountain is too big, that is when I should further be confident that my God had gone ahead. When darkness is looming, let me be evermore clinging to my Father's hand, who knows the path for sure, because He had gone ahead.

Short of words - a prose

To Him who loves us and has fixed us from our sins by His blood, and has made us to be a Kingdom and priests to serve His God and Father. Rev:1:5-6 What a privilege. Blessed privilege. Given. Gifted. Not earned. Not deserving. Not as wages.  But because of grace. Because of love. With my sin, I cannot even stand there And therefore because He loved, He freed. He paid the penalty. He faced the consequence. The very thing He abhored, He took up. For me. To make me Kingdom and priest. I deserved eternal hell. But He made me sit  In heaven. On a throne. Next to Him. With Him. With the Father. And the Holy Spirit. Just imagine. With the Almighty Supreme Ruler. For eternity. When I deserved only punishment  And eternal rejection. It is His doing  To Him be the honour and glory. Because He alone is worthy. What love is this? I cannot fathom. Who made His enemy His friend. Who made a wretch His treasure, His signet ring. Who made a worm, a king. What for? I do no...

The Revelation

Revelation is often considered a difficult book to understand. A book which you often can't make head or tail of. Full of prophecies about what is about to happen. How do you interpret it in the present scenario. Who is antichrist. Where is a loving God in this? Unanswered questions all around. But here is a promise. Rev:1:3 Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophesy and blessed are those who hear it and take it to heart what is written in it, because the time is near. The attempt is not to give full answers to all your questions. The attempt is to read and hear and believe, so that we would all be blessed. Because the time is very short. Read and hear and believe. And be blessed. Image courtesy:  https://www.theologyofwork.org/new-testament/revelation/

The Alpha and The Omega

I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, Rev 1:8.  Said by Jesus Christ, written in red letter in my Bible. Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and Omega the last. The beginning and the end. He means he is all the letters in between. Everything that we see or cannot see starts and ends with him, runs through him, created in him, through him, for him, by him. You and I are for him.  To explain further, he says, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. Echoing what we read in v:4 about the Father. Reiterates the deityhood of Jesus. In fact, Jesus claims, I and the Father are one.  Why should we know all these? Jesus is the center of what we believe. The son is God and equal with the Father and the key to all creation. He reemphasizes his right to judge and his right to restore, the author and owner of everything. His rule stands, his standard reigns. There is no other law. There is no other possibilities happening. He is.  So...

Enthroned

Rev:1:4 Grace and peace to you from Him, who is, who was and who is to come. The Father. The Almighty. The Sovereign. No better description. Looks grammatically incorrect. But not time bound. Who exists from eternity to eternity. Not created. Exists beyond the creation of time. Exists beyond Gen:1:1. Describes further John:1:1. Beyond creation. Self existent. Even presently He is on the throne. He has not given it off to someone else to rule. He is Sovereign. He is the one who said, " I am who I am". Does not cease to exist. Has not aged or retired. Still in control. Still ruling with His same standards. Not only in the future His rule reigns. But He is to come, with His scepter of justice. Seated on the judgement throne. To bring an end to all so called injustice. For He is the righteous judge. He cannot and will not compromise on His standards. His reign still will go on. No matter, however He seems to be out of control in this revoltous and raucous world. He is...

Stained - a poem

Jude 23 Hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. Oh! Child of God, what is your approach to stain? Why compromise to wear a cloth Which the Lord loathes It brings intense detest to Him! But it allures you. Why? It disgusts Him. It actually smells so bad. But why are you attracted to it? Why do you admire? Why do you cherish? This is not just on the clothing It spreads. It disseminates into you It makes the air around you impure too. It brings in a stench. It stinks like skunk. But why has it becomes a fragrance to you? Why don't you realise your folly? Why do you compromise the best To settle for something that is actually the worst. Love the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul. Love His holiness. And His purity. And detest whatever He detests. For sin cannot stand in His presence, but a forgiven sinner can. Image courtesy : gemini

To the church in Pergamum

You are in the place where Satan's throne is. But you remain true to my name. And you did not renounce your faith in me. Even in the middle of persecutions. Yet, this I hold against you, Jesus says, you tolerate sexual immortality and eat food sacrificed to idols. A small thing which others wouldn't know. A secret enjoyment. It is about your attitude to sin. Do you hate what He hates? Does it look disgusting to you, what He abhors? Or do you compromise? To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. Rev:2:17 Revelation from above which has been hidden to others of great wisdom and understanding. Repent and you will be blessed with things beyond your understanding. I will also give them a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it. Rev:2:17 Jesus calling your pet name. Such would be the intimacy between you and Him. That would be the reward He would give, if you obey. Image credit: gemini

Our's

Rev:1:9.  I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus .  If you follow a political party or a person, what does it offer? Prosperity and fulfilling of ideologies, authority and power.  Here is a God who promises kingdom as one among the few inheritances that we will get. Kingdom of heaven as promised by him, not just something you will get after you die. That is one aspect of it. Jesus prayed, Your kingdom come as it is in heaven. It is here. It is now. It is his way in our lives. Abundant life, life to the fullest, life as he intends it to be. He in us. He is eternal life.  But along with that eternal kingdom, with all its richness active in our life, he also promises suffering. Why would somebody promise you such an inheritance? One, because we are in a fallen world and now we are aliens to the system, in fact, enemies. Anything which is foreign to the system will be pushed out, will be o...
