Know the Word of God.
“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” Mathew 4:4.
In the eye of man, cold and cancer are
two different diseases. Cold is a minor disease and the Cancer is considered as
one of the deadliest disease, but for God healing both the diseases cancer and
cold are the same. All our wishes can be fulfilled, not today but right now. If
we listen to the word of God and follow it, our lives are definitely going to
change in Christ.
There are two ways natural and
supernatural ways of living. Living naturally is not a kind of actual living
unless we are connected with our maker. Who knows better about Maruti Car, in
fact the manufacturer of the car?
In the same manner, who would know better
about us? What do you think our family doctor or God (our creator)? God knows
us better. We should make friendship with Him, join hands with him, come closer
to Him and we will surely be benefited.
God knows the number of hairs on our
head. He has also engraved our names on His palm. His thoughts for us are far
more than the grain of sand on the beach. His thoughts for us are to prosper us
and to give us the best future and not to destroy us. He says that no weapons
are formed against us which shall prosper.
He also says he will never leave us or
forsake us. He said that he is with us forever. He is so caring that after our
death He has prepared a mansion for us. Meanwhile
on earth our job is to give the Good News (Gospel) to every creature.
Read John 15:1–4 where it says “I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer. Every
branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears
fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now you are clean
through the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more
can you, except you abide in me.”
The word Abide means acceptance. If
we accept Jesus Christ as our Saviour and ask Him, He has promised to give us.
Read John 16:24
where it tells us about the fruit “Till now have you asked nothing in my name: ask, and you
shall receive, that your joy may be full.”
God wants to answer our prayers. He
wants to give us more than what we ask. The only thing we have to draw ourselves
near to Him. We have to understand Him. We have to understand His words and what
does He wants from us.
If we want to know ourselves truly, we
have to abide in Him because He wants us to trust in Him and abide in Him. The
Father, who sacrificed His begotten Son on the cross for our sins, cannot
provide us the bread, Is He not going to heal us. Is He not going to provide us
a better life? This is the only thing what we have to understand today that the
Father who can sacrifice His Son for our sins can do anything for us.
Read the promise of Lord He has made
to us in Mathew
6:25-31, that first we have to seek for the kingdom of God and His
righteousness, and we will get all the things “Therefore I say to you, Take no thought for
your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body,
what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than
raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap,
nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much
better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his
stature? And why take you thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the
field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say to
you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Why,
if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast
into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore
take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? Or, what shall we drink? Or,
Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all
these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that you
have need of all these things. But seek you first the kingdom of God, and
his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. Take
therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the
things of itself. Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof.”
God says that He came into this world
to give us life in abundance. He does
not want anyone of us to be miserable. He doesn’t want us to be fearful. He doesn’t
want us to be sad. He wants us to live
like a king and a queen. He says that He has made us the head and not the
tail. Read John
8: 31-32 which tells us about the type of fruit we are
going to receive, if we continue to believe in Him. “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed
on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; And
you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
If anyone believes in a lie with all the
heart, it results in disappointment at the end, but if anyone follows the truth,
always reaches to its destination. Whether
it is our profession, our job or business, it is subject to God’s blessings.
God wants us to make us free from our burdens, our sadness, our sins and our debts.
God wants to see every one of us in freedom.
What does God wants from us that we
should do? Read the story mentioned in Mathew 25: 14-30, “For the kingdom of heaven is as a man
traveling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered to
them his goods. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another
one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his
journey. Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the
same, and made them other five talents. And likewise he that had received two,
he also gained other two. But he that had received one went and dig in the
earth, and hid his lord's money. After a long time the lord of those servants
comes, and reckons with them. And so he that had received five talents came and
brought other five talents, saying, Lord, you delivered to me five talents:
behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. His lord said to him, Well
done, you good and faithful servant: you have been faithful over a few things,
I will make you ruler over many things: enter you into the joy of your lord. He
also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, you delivered to me two
talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. His lord said to
him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few
things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter you into the joy of your
lord. Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew you
that you are an hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where
you have not strewed: And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the
earth: see, there you have that is yours. His lord answered and said to him,
You wicked and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I sowed not, and
gather where I have not strewed: You ought therefore to have put my money to
the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received my own with usury.
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him which has ten talents. For
to everyone that has shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him
that has not shall be taken away even that which he has. And cast you the
unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing
of teeth.”
God
wants us to use our talents whatever talent He has given us. God does not want
us to hide or bury those talents but He wants us to multiply them. Each and
every person in this world has a special gift and talents given by the Lord. We
have to use those talents and multiply them. As this is the will of our God. Read 1 Corinthians 12:4-13, “Now there are
diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of
administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations,
but it is the same God which works all in all. But the manifestation of the
Spirit is given to every man to profit with. For to one is given by the Spirit
the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To
another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same
Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another
discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the
interpretation of tongues: But all these works that one and the selfsame
Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. For as the body is one, and
has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one
body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body,
whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all
made to drink into one Spirit.”
