Strength for everything – Part 5

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

Don't focus on your weaknesses. Don't focus on your lack, but focus on the provision of God. You might have failed in life, you might have been walked over, but the strength of Jesus has not failed. Even after all torture and persecution to death, He rose again on the third day. Nothing could defeat Jesus. Nothing can defeat the strength of Jesus. If this strength comes in you, nothing can defeat you. When you were born again you were provided this strength, but if you are not conscious about it, you will live defeated. Eg. You might have a millions of money in your account given by your father, but if you are not aware of it, you will live a poor life. You have to search this truth from your father and only being aware of it, you will become rich and change your lifestyle. If after knowing the truth you forget it, it still doesn't make you rich. That same the strength of Jesus is already given to you. Study it, meditate it and remind yourself daily about it, it will strengthen you. Remind yourself of the persecutions of Paul and yet how he lived a powerful life. Remind yourself, that even though he was suffering yet, God was healing many people through him. People came to him even when Paul was in prison. People were healed and blessed even there. This shows that he was living a victorious life.

This victorious life was possible because he knew that he had the strength of Jesus in him. Paul knew that he had to only apply it in his life and release it. Don't focus first on doing all things, but focus first on applying the strength of Jesus. After applying this strength of Jesus you will be able to do all things. You will be able to bear your boss, you will be able to bear the daily gravitational pull form the people around you, you will be able to rise above all the negativity and sadness.

Now the choice remains with you, what you want to do with this seed of God's word which I have given you. If you want you will sow it in your life and reap the harvest by patiently watering it or just leave it thinking nothing has worked in the past neither will it work now. You have to make the choice. I urge you to make the choice like Paul, like Joseph, life David, like Job and you will indeed see the victory. God bless you.

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

Paul had undergone lot of things in his life, yet to stand for his faith requires more than natural. He has mentioned his secret in the above word. The secret is that he is able to do all things only by the strength of Christ Jesus. Jesus who Himself took all the sufferings for His faith and for what He believed, was the strength of Paul. Jesus didn't break in all His persecutions and trials. He want to bring in this world something that is contrary to this world. We look at the natural strength and then make all the decisions and choices. But God wanted to show the strength in faith coming from the inner spirit. This is never based on the natural circumstances, but is always based on the strength of the inner spirit of a person. There is a way to increase the strength of the spirit in a person. If you don't eat for a couple of days, you become weak and are without natural strength. That same way, if you don't feed your spirit man, your spirit man will become weak and you will be without strength.

Everytime you take out time to read God's word, hear God's word, meditate on God and His word, pray and sing praises to God, is actually feeding your spirit. The more you feed your spirit the more your spirit becomes strong. The more strength you have means, no problems and persecutions of this world can pull you down. Like Paul even you will be strong under all persecutions and trials. The death of this world will never steal your joy, because you will never have the fear of death. You will know the truth that losing your life for God means gaining your life. God will gift you this life, when you are putting it at stake for Him and your faith in Him. Like Paul don't look at the future and not your past. Like Paul fill your mind and your heart with God's word. Keep this as your prime focus of your life every day. Then like Paul even you will have a testimony that you are able to do all things by Christ's strength. God bless you.

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

Many of you might think that am only raising up hopes. If you think that way and let these words go off, then this word will not work. But if you allow this word to work in you and you start believing it, then indeed this word will work. This is not my word which will fail, this word is completely based on God's word and He has given me. This word I have applied in my life and I have seen the changes happen in my life which has led me to share this. Its not only testimony's from the bible, but by applying this word, I have testimony in my life too. That same way, if you apply this word in your life, even you will have a testimony. Don't think that you have been believing yet, nothing has happened. Its ok, its better to die believing rather than live doubting. Living in doubt means you are living a defeated life. Living in faith means even in persecutions and troubles you are living a victorious life. Don't give up. You get an opportunity to apply your faith only in testing times, not in good times. This is the time to apply your faith that you have gained in all these years. God bless you.

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

God doesn't remember your past sins to punish you. The bible says, that God puts all our sins behind His back, means He never allows it to come before Him. What comes before Him is the blood of Jesus shed for you. To get our sins dealt with if we haven't dealt, is only to ask for forgiveness and forget it. God will wash you and change you. The true repentance means you allow God to change you. Getting your sin dealt means not saying, "Lord forgive me." But after that allowing God to change us. Even if it pinches us to accept the change we are ready to change. That is asking for forgiveness with a loving and repentant heart.

Paul was not crying about his past mistakes which he had done. He was not analyzing whether is God punishing him for his past sins. He had one thing in mind, which holds true even today for everyone who is ready to accept, that God has placed you exactly where you ought to be. You might be in the deepest dungeons like Joseph or on the ash heap like Job, or even in the wilderness running like David. Whatever it might be, it is in the plan of God if you allow God to work in it. If certain things has happened in your life, its only because it is a part of God's plan to bring you out better. If you ask me, "How its going to happen, or when will it happen?" I will not have an answer but I know things will change for sure. Your life is not meant to end in the wilderness, nor in the dungeons nor on the ash heap. God says, "He will give beauty for ashes, exaltation for the dungeons, promised land for your wilderness, a throne for your demotion. Only if you are bound to remain in the ash heap and not ready to move ahead and face the challenge, then wilderness is where you will end up, like the Israelites. But if you are ready to move ahead, accept the new challenges, let go of your past, then God has kept a throne of glory ready for you. Double honor, double blessings, double promotion and sevenfold restoration of what you have lost. Like Joseph you will rise up, like Job you will have blessings and like David you will have a throne. God bless you.

Strength for everything – Part 1

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

If we meditate on this word we will be able to apply this word in our life and like Apostle Paul even we will be able to say, that I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. Apostle Paul was undergoing tremendous persecution for his faith. Apostle Paul was tortured for the reason in Whom he believed. Paul knew the consequences of it, because he also led a group who had tortured the people who believed in Jesus. He could have sat down thinking, God is punishing me for what I have done in my past. He could have sat down depressed thinking about his past and complaining to God and asking for forgiveness. Remember when we are undergoing persecution and troubles in our life, we tend to look at what wrongs we have done, because of which God is punishing us. When we don't have the word of God in us, we don't actually think right. We tend to think and do what is right in our eyes. We start believing what our eyes see. But the truth is when we our full of the word of God, we start looking at thinks basis what God's word says and not by what we see.

If we were to be in Paul's place we would have broken and left our faith. Many of us are so shattered that we are about to quit believing. I want to encourage you, like Paul don't look at your past mistakes. Let go off your past. No matter how beautiful it was, no matter how bad it was, let it go. Lets work towards our future to make it beautiful and better. If we keep digging in our past, we will find many hurts and revenges which we have not paid off, but if we look at the cross we will that God has paid off everything in full with His love. I we allow God love to work in us, we will be completely healed and delivered of all the past hurts. Choose to let go off no matter from whom it had come from. God bless you.

For it is as when a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey. Matthew 25:14,15

The question is not how many talents were given, the question is did you use the talents given to you. Some, like this person also out of fear of losing, doesn't use their talents. With God you can risk it. Your end will always be successful. Its not that the person with 5 talents who made it 10 talents, never failed in his life nor never fell down. No, that is not the truth. He might have failed, he might have fallen, but the final outcome is that he was successful in his life and earned double of what he had. Do not be afraid to use your talents, irrespective of what the outcome is.

God backups bold people. The apostle Peter did many mistakes, but yet God helped him only because he was bold. God is looking at you to use that talent that He has given you. He has placed you in the right situation and the right place for you to use it. Don't look at others who might not support you, but God will. Don't wait anymore trying talk yourself out of it. Don't look for reasons for not doing it. Take the first step of faith and the rest will follow by the grace and power of God. If God has given you something, He will back you to use it successfully. Don't fear of losing. Be bold and step out and the rest God will indeed take care. God will provide the right people also to help you. Use your talents to increase your talents and glorify God. God bless you.

For it is as when a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey. Matthew 25:14,15

In the above verse it clearly shows that God has given you talents basis your ability. So you don't have to cry that you don't have the talent like someone else. Whatever talent someone has they are responsible with it and greater is the responsibility given to them and greater is the accountability. You have received the talents basis who you are and what you should do. Today in your school, college, organization, family and even your surrounding, wherever you are, it is as per the plan of God, wherever you will be able to use your talents to rise up in life and also glorify God.

With the above verse suddenly you might complain that you might be the one with less talents or you might say, why does God give less talents. Bible says, as per the ability to manage those talents and use them for your benefits and glorify God, is how it is distributed. Some can use these talents to destroy others and even destroy self. God is wise and He knows who should be given which talent and who can handle how many talents.

Some like the person who received 1 talent had the ability to use, but like many he didn't use it. He could have been complaining by comparing that he didn't get the talents like others and why should I use it. If God wanted to use me, He should have given me more talents. But this person forgot to use the talent that was given to him. It was in his hands to increase his talents. You too, might be given 1 talent, but you have the power in your hand to double it. Don't sit down complaining that you don't have too many talents, nor the talent as the other person.

For it is as when a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey. Matthew 25:14,15

Many of us like to boast about what we have and what we have gained in life. Its good that you have been successful and done good for yourself and your family and has also shared some with others. Sometimes we tend to end up beyond the limits which itself is bad. We don't have control over ourself and our thoughts and end up boasting about what we have done, what we have earned and who we are. In this we forget that we end up hurting many people showing that they have not done what you have been able to achieve. Its not doubt that you have disciplined yourself, you were focused and you were determined to achieve what your dreams were what you wanted to achieve in life, but never forget that you wouldn't have been able to achieve it unless God had blessed you. Bible says, "To will (to have a will to do something) and to do (strength, knowledge, skill and ability) something is given by God." Now if all these things are from God, then what is of you, only the residue, that is you without anything.

Am not saying this to put you down or to say that it is not good. But I want you to open your eyes and realize the truth which will make you humble and help you to rise up to new heights. The bible says that God resists the proud and exalts the humble. God also says that those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be exalted. I want this truth to come to everyone who reads this because this truth will help you to be exalted. In your success its not that you have not done anything, but never boast about it, because if God wouldn't have enabled you or wouldn't have helped you, or wouldn't have opened miraculous doors then you wouldn't have got that success. Many times, God brings divine connections, which we might not be aware about, but in the background He works and we think it was our talent our influence and our relations that has got these things. We look at things like Pharoah analyzing things with our natural brains and with things that are seen, but we forget the things that our not seen and things which we don't understand yet, it has favoured us only because of God. Next time before you boast about yourself, think that God has blessed you. This will keep you humble and help you to encourage others. The knowledge that all these things God has given me will help you to be a blessing to others. People will like to quote you as an example to learn from. The talents and gifts and strengths and divine connections, and miracle breakthroughs are from God. Great doors opening are from God, it was only that God placed us at the right time and at the right place to receive it. As you meditate on this truth I pray may this truth help you to rise up to new heights. God bless you.
