How do I crack the code?

Acts:8:4-25

Simon thought, he could be a part of this by paying. Though it is said that he believed and was baptized.

What is the tip to crack this code? Some people have figured it out. I am still struggling. Some people have seemed to crack it. Some people have got the joy and peace that is being offered. But still I seem to wander around searching aimlessly. How do I get it?

Simon wanted to buy this by money. How do you want to attain it? By attending certain meetings, do you think there will be a short cut to deliverance?

Meetings are good, if you meet up with God. Relationship with Him is the priority there, not acquiring "blessings" from Him. That is God's doing, if He does it- good. But what is your heart's desire, when you want to attend such a meeting? Is it to be close to His presence, or obtain things from Him?

Why do you give money? Why do you tithe? At least in the corner of your mind, do you think that you will get back? You will be blessed? Is Malachi:3:10 one of your go to verses?

Why do you take your quiet times regularly? Why do you attend church? Is it out of fear that God might curse you if you don't? Or is it out of your passion to spend time with your lover?

What is your heart's motive? Is it healing? Is it financial blessing? These things are needed. It is about trusting God to provide. Jesus says, seek first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added to you. Matt:6:33

Your Father in Heaven knows your needs before you even ask Him. He is Jehovah Jireh. Concentrate on knowing Him, rather than getting things done from Him.

Love letter

My darling, I want you to realise how much I love you. I have expressed my love always and my desire is that you would understand the depth and height and width and length of my love. You are not alone. You are not an orphan to be left alone to chance. You will be well taken care of. Your very being is mine. You are mine. You are my precious little one. Though you feel alone, I am there for you. Do not feel that no one understands you. Do not feel that no one knows your plight or cares for you. I am there on your side. I have fashioned you by my hands. I have engraved you in the palms of my hand. You are so precious to me. Do not feel abandoned. Do not feel dejected. The truth is I am with you till the end of days. Whatever contrary to this, is a lie. Just know my presence with you always. Trust in me. I am your Father. I am your Husband. I am your Lover. I am your Friend. I will never leave you nor forsake you. I have loved you with an everlasting love. My love ...

#Iam the way, the truth and the life

I am the way, the truth and the life Jn:14:6 I am the way. I am the only way to reach unto the Father. I am the only way of salvation. I am the only way of forgiveness of sin. And without forgiveness of sin there is no access to God. I am the truth. I am the true God. There is no lie in me. Whatever I say is true. For my nature is truth. God is true. God alone is true. So when I say, I am the truth, it proves my diety. I am the life. In me alone is life. The abundant life which I promised is only through me. Unless you believe in me there is no part in the life that I offer. Living life to the fullest is only through me, because it is I who created this life. And I will enable you to live that life to the fullest capacity in this fallen world. Not only in this world, but in the world to come as well.

Boom - a poem

I am He. Jn:18:5 Three times, Jesus said, I am He. Three times He echoes the sound of Yahweh. And the third time all who heard Him, Drew back and fell to the ground. No surround sound. No acoustic effect. Just the authority. Such power. The Creator, the Almighty, the All Powerful. The All knowing God. The Second of Trinity. This same Jesus. The same authenticity. Says to you in the midst of your turmoils. I am He. That's enough for your mountains to crumble. For He is your Maker. For He is your Husband. Therefore His words are trustworthy. Do not be afraid, I am with you. I have plans to prosper you. I am on your side. I will fight for you. Your enemies therefore will flee, No matter how powerful they are. Be it the strongest men on earth. Or a powerful demon against you. Every knee shall bow, when He says, I am He. Don't you dare touch my child. He is mine, He proclaims. He declares, not whispers. That is enough, my dear one. Death could not restrict Him. Grave co...

Dear Brother. Rest in peace. This life is small. Yet proved again. But you proved. Living for Christ alone matters. Trying to acquire skill And to use your well earned medical knowledge For the poor and needy. Your words still ring in my ear. "We are alone there" Brother gone too soon. Leaving behind a legacy. Well done good and faithful servant. Enough is enough. Come back and enter the rest planned for you. In His bosom, the classic smile I can imagine. Your laughter will surely resound in heaven today. There is rejoicing in heaven For a son has come back home. Fulfilling his Father's will for him Why should earth be gloomy? For he is home.

Warming himself

Why do I fall in sin? I am not a desperate rebel who looks for ways to sin. I as a child of holy God, do hate sin. Yes my heart is inclined to sin, because of my fallen nature. But deep down inside, I am now a new creation. The old has gone, the new has come. But still, sometimes I stumble and fall. Forgetting my master's cruel death, a penalty for my sin. Why? As Paul says, I do things which I hate to do. I end up doing things which I don't want to do. Why? Peter, though He was warned, fell for it because he was warming himself, instead of being close to the presence of Jesus. David fell for it, because he was in the terrace at the time when he was supposed to be in war. Pharaoh's heart was hardened, because he hardened his heart first. Lot slowly drifted away, because of the subtle compromises he made. Be not, where you are expected not to be. Do no things which you are not expected to do. Do not start a chain of events which will lead you further to sin. If y...

Love - a prose

Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Jn:13:34. Love is the base of Christian belief system. Love your God and love your neighbour are the sum and substance of all the commandments according to Jesus. Love as I have loved you - Love your enemy, who ridiculed you, who doesn't consider you, who look down upon you. Love, so much that you wouldn't consider your life, more worth than loving this person. Love like you are willing to give away your life. Love so much that you would not consider the position you have been given, as something to cling on to, as compared to the love for this person. Love selflessly. Love them, so that you would become a servant of them. Love them as if you would become empty. Continue to love them even when they do not reciprocate. Continue to love them with the same intensity even after you have been blamed and accused. Love is not just a feeling, which if there, you would love. That is easy. But love is a c...

The realm which we can't see yet can be believed

Acts:2:1-13 It is often common to see, when there is a manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit, it is being misinterpreted with logical reasoning. The first manifestation of the coming of the Holy Spirit was people speaking in tongues and it was misinterpreted as drunkenness. Whether it is really true healing? Whether it is a gimmick? Whether we can give a more logical explanation to it than divine intervention? Why can't my futile human brain accept the fact that God can work in unnatural ways (which is natural for Him). Why do I trust in things which I see alone? I am not saying, you should believe in every such things that happen as divine intervention. Discernment, the Spirit Himself will give. The Holy Spirit is alive. He is God. His manifestations are real. We should be aware and we should believe that there is another realm which is difficult for us to comprehend, but not infeasible to believe.
