YOUR NEW LIFE IN CHRIST

Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.    (Isaiah 53:4)
  Dearly beloved, when Lord Jesus Christ comes into your life, you will become a new creation.

The Bible states, “The whole world is under the control of the evil one” (1 John 5:19). There is disorder and confusion everywhere. Amidst that, our Lord assures everyone of us: “See, I am doing a new thing! (Isaiah 43:19).

If there is one who can help us it is Lord Jesus Christ, the blessed Son of the God of gods! For the Bible says that He Himself bore all our sins and sufferings on the cross.

He asks so boldly: “Can any of you prove me guilty of sin?” (John 8:46). Yes, the Bible says: “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jealous folk heaped false charges on Him and crucified Him. Very often, we wonder why this fate befell the blessed Son of the God of gods. It was for you and me that He passed through all those travails.

Today, as we pass through sorrows and sufferings, pains and perils, the Lord our beloved Father tells us: “My child! For your sake, I have borne all your sufferings on the cross. Grieve not! It is for you that I passed that way and patiently bore all the travails. So, you need not be anxious about any suffering that may befall you. I who bore your sufferings will lead you through them. I will wipe away your tears and comfort you in all your sorrows.” How great a blessing is this!

The Bible says, “Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted” (Isaiah 53:4). Place your faith in Lord Jesus Christ and invite Him into your heart. When He comes and lives in you, He will make everything new in your life.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are the blessed Lord. You passed through the travails on the cross to give me a new life. I believe that You gave your life for me. Help me to forget the past and look to the future with hope for You have promised me a bright future. Let all my former sufferings pass away. Make everything new in my life.

I ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen.

GOD LOVES THE FAITHFUL

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.    (Isaiah 40:29)
Dearly beloved, the Bible assures, “A faithful man will be richly blessed…” (Proverbs 28:20).

Sometimes our love for God is tested. (II Corinthians 8:8). Even Abraham was tested in the same manner. The Lord heard the prayer of Abraham, had compassion on him and blessed him with a lovely son. But He wanted to test the love of Abraham. Hence He asked him to sacrifice his son. Abraham did not hesitate to sacrifice his son. He loved God much more than his son.

The Almighty God was very much pleased with his love. He felt so proud of Abraham. Abraham came out victorious in the test of love. The Bible says, “…In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us” (Romans 8:37).

Dearly beloved, when you too face such trials and temptations in your life, cling on to Lord Jesus and love Him with all your heart.

After I got married, I lost two children one after another. Only then the Lord graciously blessed me with two children. One is my son Paul Dhinakaran and the other is my daughter Angel. You can easily imagine the agony I had gone through when I lost my precious daughter at the age of 17. As a mother I cried over her body. I firmly believed that the Lord would never let me down and He would somehow raise my daughter and use her in His ministry. But He had other plans for us. He did not resurrect my daughter. My heart was broken to pieces.

At that juncture, just like Abraham I showed much love towards God. Even without my knowledge, I surrendered myself completely for God’s ministry. Of course, even today I go through agony when I think about my daughter. At the same time, when I look at the face of God, I am filled with His love and that helps me to forget my sorrow. That was how I have passed through the last 26 years.

Probably, you have also gone through such losses and sorrows in your life. Please do not waste your life by crying over your losses. The Lord who sees you will certainly help you to come out of your sorrow.

The Bible says, “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak” (Isaiah 40:29). It adds, “Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted” (Hebrews 2:18). Lord Jesus said, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33).

Cling on to God who will help you to do everything (Philippians 4:13). He will strengthen you to bear all your sorrows. You will be amazed at His guidance. When you love the Lord with all your heart and please Him in everything, He will shower His richest blessings upon you.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You manifested your love for mankind by laying down your life. Help me to be faithful in my love towards You. Help me to live by faith during times of trial and overcome them. Make me a conqueror by the power of your might. Let nothing separate me from your love. Confer your richest blessings upon me and fill my heart with joy and peace.

I ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen.

THE PEACE OF CHRIST

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.    (Philippians 4:7)
  Dearly beloved, the Lord gives peace that transcends all understanding.

The Bible comforts us saying, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6,7).

Lord Jesus also says, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” (John 14:27). According to the above mentioned Scripture verses, Lord Jesus Christ will grant us His divine peace which transcends all understanding.

By the immense grace of God, both my husband and I were united in holy matrimony. The first thing both of us did was to surrender our lives into the hands of God. From that moment, He also united Himself with us and divine peace began to prevail in our family. We lived happily for 48 years and all through those years, we were filled with divine peace. Above all, the Lord graciously helped us to bring this divine peace upon countless families.

How to receive divine peace?

The Bible says, “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:1,2).

Lord Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. So let us run our race patiently in this world. He is the author and perfecter of our faith. He says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

Dear friend, leave all your worries and pray to God with thanksgiving. Place all your burdens upon Him and He will care for you (I Peter 5:7). Above all, He will fill you with His divine peace which transcends all understanding.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are the Prince of Peace. Your peace surpasses all understanding. I know that You are in control of everything. I trust that You are with me all the time. I place all my cares upon You and wait for your deliverance. May I be comforted by your presence. Let your immeasurable peace flow into my heart. I give You all honour.

I ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen.

GOD’S CHOSEN VESSELS

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.    (1 Corinthians 1:27)
  Dearly beloved, God displays his power and wisdom through the weak and lowly vessels of the world.

Before my marriage I was a timid person. I was very weak and did not have wisdom also. When the parents of my husband started searching for a suitable partner for him, he expressed his desire to have a tall person as his wife.

He strictly told them that his partner should be at least 5’ 6” tall. Hence they were searching for a tall bride for nearly three years. Finally, they found me. Since I was 5’ 7” tall, they were very happy.

When they came to our house and asked for me, I was really scared. I did not know how I would be able to live in that family which was serving the Lord mightily. The thought of ministering to thousands of people was haunting me. However from that day onwards I started praying, “Lord, I can do nothing. I am a village girl. Please fill me with Your wisdom.”

By the immense grace of God, He filled me with His wisdom. Today, I am able to do His ministry in various countries. He is using me as a mighty weapon to bring consolation to countless people. I am really amazed at the way the Lord has chosen me, a weak vessel, to do His ministry. How true is the following promise of God: “God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong” (I Corinthians 1:27).

Of course, I was a weak and shy person. I did not have wisdom. But it is the Lord who called me for His ministry. He who called me will certainly call you and bless you also. He will bless your family through you. He Himself will go before you. He will grant you His treasures of wisdom and knowledge and use you mightily for His glory.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

I praise You and glorify You. Wisdom and strength come from You. I surrender my life to You. By your immense grace, grant me your wisdom and strength. Bless me with success in all areas of my life and exalt me before all eyes. Use me as your vessel to spread your divine love to others. May your name be glorified through my life.

I ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen.

THE BLOOD OF REDEMPTION

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.    (1 John 1:9)
  Dearly beloved, when you believe that Lord Jesus came into this world to lay down His life for you, you will be saved.

The Bible says, “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1).

There was a young prisoner who loved his mother very much. He was sentenced to death on account of a terrible crime committed by him. Usually, a pastor would visit the prisoners, who had been sentenced to death, in order to talk to them about salvation and forgiveness. He would also give them each a copy of the Bible.

In the same way, a pastor met this young man as well and gave him a Bible. He told him, “My son, read this Bible tonight and you will receive peace.” But that young man became very wild and threw the Bible away in front of the pastor.

The young man could not sleep that night. There was absolutely no peace in his heart. Finally, somehow he slept and he had a dream. In that dream, he saw his beloved mother lovingly inviting him. When he got up and ran to her, he saw a wall arising between both of them. Hence he could not meet his mother. He looked at that wall intently. Only then he realized that all his sins, iniquities and transgressions were written on that wall. He was shattered.

Suddenly he got up and took the Bible presented by the pastor. He opened it and his eyes fell on the following verse: “…The blood of Jesus, His Son purifies us from all sin” (I John 1:7). He believed in this promise of God and started confessing all his sins to God that night. He was filled with divine peace and slept peacefully.

The next morning, the jailor and others came to take him in order to hang him. Normally, those who have been sentenced to death would not be able to sleep at all the previous night. They would be going through much agony. But this young man had slept peacefully with a firm belief that he would go to heaven and meet his mother there after his death. The jailors had to wake him up from his deep slumber.

Yes beloved, this is how the precious blood of Lord Jesus will cleanse you from all your sins. The Bible says, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool” (Isaiah 1:18).

Today, many have lost their peace on account of their sins. Their conscience speaks to them (Romans 2:15). The Scripture assures, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).

Today cry out to God saying, “Lord, please cleanse me with your precious blood and grant me the joy of your salvation.” Then the Lord who forgave the young prisoner will certainly cleanse you also from all your sins and grant you His divine peace.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are the Lamb of God. By your divine grace, You shed your blood on the Cross for the salvation of mankind. You took away the sins of the world. I accept your sacrifice and receive You as my Saviour. Make me righteous through your blood and give me everlasting peace. Grant me the joy of your salvation and the gift of eternal life.

I ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen.
