Fraud


Jer:8:8-12.

What do you have to offer Oh! Bard. A message of comfort? That everything will be alright? 
That God is going to bless? 
That an everforgiving God is going to keep aside all your wrongdoings. Forgetting all your sins just with the snap of a finger and now on you will be blessed with riches and joy and enjoyments and anything you name under the sun will be granted to you? 

Yes in a way it is true. He will do it. For His word says that He is a God of blessing. It is His character to bless. His attribute to forgive. 
But do you have an iota of idea that you are someone who gives superficial treatment for mortal wounds? Are you Oh! Bard assuring peace when there is no peace? To  a sinful and wretched generation who do not know even how to blush? 
From the least to the greatest in this generation, their lives are filled with greed. I want more. 
They are filled with pride. I am important
I deserve much more. Why should I? 
They are filled with lust. Looking for ways to commit adultery. Eyes always searching. 

The mind is the most wicked of all. The mind is wretched and pathetic. 
How oh! Bard can you say  that the Lord will bless, if they commit adultery with the idols on their hearts. They so love sin, that they are searching for ways to sin secretly. To elope with sin if time allows. If situations are cordial, they would find ways to grieve God. Open your phone, flooded with material to make you sin. The mind desires for it too. Look at the hoardings, it allures and the mind desires. Look at the daily newspaper, it allures and they fall for it. The greed and the pride and the lust. All the mind wants to be satisfied, the world gives it. The mind desires for it more and more. The mind keeps giving excuses to appease the secret lover and grieve the true lover. 

Oh! Bard. Are you immune? Don't act too smart. Don't be a fraud. Will you allow anyone to peak into your own heart? Which will display your wretchedness? 

Yes. God is a God of forgiveness. Yet the act is complete. Sin has been taken care of on the cross. 
Where oh! Bard is your cross? Where is your beating the body? You live in luxury. Where is your denying your own self. Your are still in your couch. Unless you realize the amount of grief you are causing your lover, how will you return to Him? 
To realize, because of your fallen nature, the only thing you can do is to grieve Him. That's the only thing that you are actually good at. 
Then only you can run to Him, wailing. Help me Oh! Abba. 

Unless there is repentance, there is no reinstation. Yet forgiveness has already been given. Full credit. That is the beauty of this God. To the most undeserving Bard, He has already given in full measure.

Reasoned. #faith7

Heb:11:19 Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead and figuratively speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death. Who said Christian life is unreasonable? Abraham reasoned based on the One who does things His way. It looks illogical to you because your understanding is limited. Nothing is impossible for God. He is a God who created everything from nothingness. The Sovereign ruler. Abraham believed in this God. And it was natural for him to believe in the normalcy of God. What God could do, he reasoned and therefore he did receive. Believe realistically and logically in the God who is all Powerful. That is reasonable. Look at God not with your finite lenses. Look at the world with His infinitely focussed lens and it will make sense. He is a God who makes impossible things possible. But that is normal for Him.

Blessed. #faith8

Heb:11:20-21 When things were still unseen, they blessed their children. Looking forward positively when things were blurry, when things were uncertain, when future looks bleak, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau; Jacob blessed Joseph's son's. Isa:54:13. All your children will be taught by the Lord and great will be their peace. Psalm:127:3. Children are a heritage from the Lord. Psalm:128:3. Children will be like olive shoots around your table. It is the Almighty, Sovereign God who promised this and He will not lie.

Abraham and Sarah. #faith5

Heb:11:8. By faith Abraham obeyed . And it was complete obedience. Despite the uncertainties around him, he still obeyed. That was out of faith in Him who called him. Faith brings forth absolute obedience. By faith you are able to keep aside that habit, because you know that hurts your love, your husband. By faith you are able to say no to things which allured you before. By faith you are able to say yes to things which God asks you to do, eventhough it looks foolish according to the world. Jesus says, if you love me, you will obey my commands. Faith and love prompts you to obey, no matter what.  Heb:11:10. For He waited . Abraham waited in the land of promise as in a foreign country as a pilgrim. He waited for a city whose maker is God. He had his eyes on heaven, not on his wealth in this world. Not on what this world can offer. He also waited for approximately 24 years for the promised child. Heavenward was his eyes always. Godward was his heart always.  Heb:11:1...

Weak. #faith12

Heb:11:34 Whose weakness was turned to strength. Do not be anxious dear one. Do not worry. Are you inherently weak in some areas? In faith that weak point will turn to your strength, the Bible promises. There has been circumstances when the most difficult and discouraging times of your life, you will experience as the most blessed time when you look retrospectively because He was present in those times of trouble. You will learn something worthwhile. You will see the very thing which you were weak at, will turn out to be a blessing for you in the spiritual realm. You will realise that, when you are weak you are strong because you trust in a strong God. You trust in His guiding delivering hand rather than your own instincts. You grow in faith. You gain strength to trust in Him more. He will strengthen and He will guide. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. You will realise that the very things that you are weak at, turn out to be your strong stories of test...

Faith

Heb:11:1 Now faith is a substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. The definition of faith. Faith is hoping. Not of an idea which is beyond logic. It is evidence based. Even when you have not seen it. Faith is not based on a written code which you decipher out or construe for your comfort. But faith is based on the character that is behind the promise. The person who made the promise. Him whom I call my Father. My Appa. That is the base of my faith. On this Appa, I have put my faith in my redemption, my salvation, for my eternal life. On Him I will place my faith for my everyday walk. He is good and He will do all things for my good. That is enough for me to trust in Him. So when something overwhelming comes my way, I will still choose to trust Him. I will still choose to cling close to Him. For He holds me. Doubt or fear or worry is an antonym to faith. Faith hopes. Faith ensures. Faith relieves. Faith brings joy. Faith is the sum and substance of my l...

Well done. #faith3

'Come Enoch let's walk'. Enoch thought that would be just like any other day. Walking with God. But that day was different somehow. He didn't know why. Everything around him was joyous. The smile was even more radiant in God's face. He couldn't understand when the wind whispered in his ear, you're going home. But joy was definitely bubbling in his heart too. He didn't know why. Yards turned to miles. Sand became rocks. But the talking and fun wouldn't cease. Then at the top of some mountain they reached. He said, come lets go home with a radiant smile. Enoch turned to walk back alone. He thought Oh! I have to wait till tomorrow again to meet my Love yet again. But he could see the ground dropping low, and the air getting thinner. And when He realised he is in the arms of his husband, oh! What joy. God is taking him to his heavenly home for eternity. No more time constraints. Enoch's heart was now jumping with joy. Kissing frantically ...

Illusory. #faith6

Heb:11:13. All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised. How foolish? Believing in an illusory unreal belief which was never true. They did not receive the things promised. So whatever they believed was a falsehood that they chased uselessly. Is it? But it continues to read - people who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own - they are longing for a better country, a heavenly one. Their eyes were set not on things down here. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God. For He has prepared a city for them. Jesus said, I am going to prepare a place for you. The things which they believed, they actually got. This life is futile and insignificant. The world above is real. The world coming is eternal. Store up your treasures there.
