Our Pilgrimage: A Bible Study

Christian life is a journey. The writer of Hebrews calls it a pilgrimage. We are told that “by faith (Abraham) sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country” and considered himself “a stranger and pilgrim on the earth” (Hebrews 11:9-13). This pilgrimage begins and continues by faith. Enoch, Noah, Abraham, and Sarah were on this pilgrimage, but “these all died in faith, not having received the promises…. God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us” (Hebrews 11:13, 40).

For us who live in the p r e s e n t a g e , t h i s pilgrimage began with the new b i r th we received by faith in Jesus Christ (John 3:3). Peter advises us how to make this pilgrimage: “I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles” (1 Peter 2:11-12).

This pilgrimage takes us through hills, valleys, and deserts of life. The pilgrims have an enemy who looks for opportunities on this path to “steal, kill, and destroy” (John 10:10). Again, Peter warns: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). Fortunately, we have been given adequate weaponry: “Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteous-ness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit" (Ephesians 6:14-18).

A pilgrim does not have to make this journey alone. In fact, it is unwise to attempt to go it alone as some try to do. We must walk together in unity with brothers and sisters in Christ, members of the family of God. While everyone must bear his own burdens (Gal 6:5), we must be willing to reach out and bear one another’s burdens (Gal 6:2). All of us have seasons of life when we could benefit from a supporting hand.

Thankfully, we do have a faithful guide – the Lord Jesus Christ - who will lead us through different types of terrains we must tread. We can fol low him with confidence even through the darkest valley. “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life” (John 8:12). He will never leave us, nor forsake us. He will faithfully guide us all

the way to our destination (Psalms 107:30).We can confidently say, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me…" (Psalms 23:4).

Our destination promises rest, pleasures and a crown of righteousness for every weary pilgrim. The writer of Hebrews says, “There remains therefore a rest for the people of God” (Hebrews 4:9). The Psalmist testifies, “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Psalms 16:11). The apostle Paul promises: “Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing” (2 Timothy 4:8).

What a day that will be!

Our destination promises rest, pleasures and a crown of righteousness for every weary pilgrim

General view:

The current scenario of the world is beyond our calculation, especially in the field of technology. The technology stands at the peak of its advancement in all the areas of human life. Digitalization is one of the latest contributions and similarly is the "Nano technology". Literally everything is at the finger tips of men. Living on the surface of the planet earth has become boredom for people, and so they are trying to find other options in the outer space! The covetous minds of people may get this desire also fulfilled!

However there is another side of the world, w h i c h i s d u l l a n d dormant, wherein people are really living in a kind of uncertainty. Humanity is losing their hope in life, living because born, ignorant about life after death and the end of the world. The economical setback of countries is another struggle that people face now. More-o v e r , t h e g r o w i n g fascism, communalism, terrorism, various ecolo-gical crises and avail-ability of sophisticated weapons are all current phenomenal threats to mankind. The social, moral and political evils are beyond statistics. The question here is: where is the world going? The latest epidemic, Covid-19 has subdued all humanity under panic. In a sense the world has become paralyzed in its motion; the leaders are gripped by fear. Now Covid-19 has become really a fearsome global problem. The much acclaimed and highlighted technological advancements are helpless before such an uncontrolled situation!

Spiritual outlook:

Now, religious and spiritual environment are also not any healthy. Religious fanaticism

and spiritual degradation have become the mark of this era. The so-called churches are going through this phase. Even the Pentecostalism is confronted with the degradation of spiritual values more than ever before. (Not forgetting that there are a few who keep their purity). It is also true that they keep up with all 'spiritual' activities - but genuine spirituality and commitment are rare to identify. Hence, what do these things signify? To this question, no philosopher or economist or politician or technician or engineer can give an

answer. They may simply say, perhaps it is a common phenomena or be optimistic and tell, good days are coming!

The Holy Bible is the ultimate answer to this situation. Bible is not simply a religious book, but the Book of Almighty God, which speaks of the past, the present and the future of humanity and the world. Therefore we can define this scenario by the Word of God. Apostle Peter reminds us that, “The end of all things is at hand ---” (1 Peter 4:7a). Definitely this world will have an

END! There is a definite time set by the Lord, though we are not able to know the exact moment.

The present world vividly shows the symptoms and signs of the 'End Time'. However the problem is, are we really aware of the time? How is the church responding to this situation? Rather than simply listening to sermons giving fantastic explanations of cosmological signs, it is better to look into our churches and more importantly to ourselves. (Read: 2 Timothy 3:1ff ; Hebrews 10:24,25; Romans 13:11-13). If we still fail to recognize and discern the time setting we would never be able to escape from the trap of the world.

The Beginning of the End"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be

lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but

denying its power" (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

The selfie-culture of this age is the prime example of a modern version of selfishness - a dangerous aspect creeping into every heart -though it is considered a technological revolution. We enjoy seeing our own image repeatedly, rather than connecting ourselves to the Image of Christ. Jesus Christ emphatically reminds us to deny ourselves, but we, on the contrary, highlight ourselves and love our own image more than everything else. The Holy Book is commanding us to conform unto our Lord Jesus in day to day life. To conform means, to accept and absorb the behavior and character of some one. Since we have been called to be holy, as our Lord is, we cannot take the world into our behavior (1 Peter 1:14-16; Romans 12:2; 1 John 2:15).

The lack of divine love (Agape) in us is the typical sign of this age. We fail to love the Lord, and love one another as Jesus loves us. Whether we agree or not it is true. We are not called simply as the worshipers of Christ, but as imitators of Christ.

The dormant attitudes towards the spiritual aspects and dull response to the Word of God have b e c o m e n o r m a l i n churches today. People are more interested in retreat sessions, rather than renewal of the mind, projects rather than prayer and fasting, picnics rather than fellowship. We have more worship centers than Word-centered churches. One cannot be ignored for sake of the other. Both, Word of God and worship of God must go hand in hand. Now-a-days people seem to be putting on an appearance of pretense, making them look highly artificial!

It is well known that many churches in the western world are either closing down or converting to social centers or even to mosques. They are after the neo-religious movements which are more or less offshoots of Hinduism. The apostasy of not only main

line churches but even the Pentecostal churches is obvious today. Materialism and pleasures of the world are distracting believers from spiritual enthusiasm. If we are not aware of this problem and fail to treat it immediately we will miss the mark, that is Eternity.

Self interests, greed, authoritative minds, lack of humility and money-minded nature are a few other symptoms we see today in the spiritual world. These are the deceptive forces of the world which have darkened the hearts of many. THE END IS NEAR.

Conclusion:

At the end, what we would do? Where are we standing now? Are we journeying through on two boats? Are we able to discern the situation or are we still living in an oblivious world of our own?

The time is at hand (Revelation 1:3). To us beginning of the end is not ultimate, but there is

a g lor ious dawn of Eternity, to which we are t o s t r i v e f o r w a r d . Forgett ing what are behind and ignoring so called status which we consider precious, for the sake of the excellent knowledge of Christ like Apostle Paul and run towards the prize of high calling. The magnificent days are ahead of us! Our Ache Din Ayenge…!!

It is the right and high time for church of Jesus Christ to get into the holy and living way that which is consecrated for us by the tearing of His body

and shedding of His priceless blood (Hebrews 10:19-20). Let us confess our failures and commit ourselves to conform unto His divine nature under the banner of His love. This is the time to run towards the goal that is set before us and pursue what is true, what is holy, whatever is noble, whatever things are lovely and praiseworthy (Philipians 4:8). Because we are at the final lap of our race. THE END IS NEAR. OUR LORD’S COMING IS AT HAND.

The selfie-culture of this age is the prime example of

a modern version of selfishness - a dangerous aspect creeping into every

heart -though it is considered a technological

revolution. We enjoy seeing our own image repeatedly, rather than

connecting ourselves to the Image of Christ.

Quotable Quotes of Watchman Nee

"If you perform your part, God will fulfill His""He delights in having us cooperate with Him"

"May the things of this world so lose their power over us that we do not in the slightest wish to be "worldly"; nay, we even delight in not remaining in the world".

To us beginning of the end is not ultimate, but there is a glorious dawn of Eternity, to which we are to strive forward. Forgetting what are behind and ignoring so called status which we consider precious, for the sake of the excellent knowledge of Christ like Apostle Paul and run towards the prize of high calling. The magnificent days are ahead of us! Our Ache Din Ayenge…!!

Since there was none with Jesus during the time that He spent in the wilderness, I presume all details about the devil's temptations might have come from Jesus Himself to the disciples to make them and us to understand that the same Satan, who promised high positions to a man and a woman in the garden of Eden and who came to the Son of God with a promise of dominion over the world, would come to us with promises of earthly positions and power to perform miracles. In spite of the lessons from Jesus' temptations, many so called followers of Jesus have fallen victims of the devil’s temptations.

Jesus was baptized and Holy Spirit descended on Him (Luke 3:21,22). He returned with full of Spirit and was led to the desert where for forty days he was tempted by the devil (Luke 4:1). Jesus was tempted by devil when He was filled with Holy Spirit. We will be tempted by devil and persecuted by the world only when we are filled and led by Holy Spirit. If anybody says if he/she has no temptations and problems, it is clear he or she is not led by Holy Spirit. Temptations are from devil and tests are from God (James 1:2-4; 1:13). Test is for testing our faith and refining us to teach our commitment to God (Genesis 22:1,7,8) and to develop perseverance to make us mature and complete. We are tempted by devil or by ourselves - lust of flesh, pride of life and love of the world (1 John 2:15,16). Satan tempts us to doubt God’s goodness, avoid strong faith and Biblical principles and follow material life and idols. Satan tempts our weak spots with attractive and convincing forms.

When I was studying in college, one evening I went to a nearby hotel where I saw my Chemistry lecturer, Mr. Vaz sitting alone and drinking coffee. He invited me to sit by his side for a chit chat. At the end he started smoking and offered me a cigarette which I declined. He said that we are lecturer and student in the college and friends outside and I can smoke with him. I said I never smoked in my life and I would not smoke in future too. My so called Christian lecturer gave me an

advice: ” we should taste all forbidden things in life once and there is no sin”. He got IAS and IFS and left college after a few months. Still I remember the temptation of devil that came through my lecturer. It is a temptation to distract me from my commitment. Remember marriage would not eliminate sexual temptation. Temptation for acquiring wealth comes in attractive and convincing forms. Now-a-days, temptations come in the form of blessing and prosperity. Some so called preachers shout that we are kings because we are children of King of kings and we should live like princes and all luxuries in life are for God’s children!! We should use discerning power when we hear such messages of prosperity.

Temptations lead to sin whereas tests lead to either victory or failure. Tests lead us to grow our faith in our God (Hebrews 11:17, Psalms 17:3) because tests come from God (Genesis 2:17). Test from God will give us a result of success or failure. Temptations from devil or ourselves are to destroy us (1 Thessalonians 3:5, 1 Timothy 6:9, 1 John 2:16)

Jesus was hungry and devil tempted Him to prove He is Son of God by turning stones to become bread (Luke 4:3) , it was temptation for lust of flesh (1 John 2:16). Temptation often comes after success of spiritual life or ministry (1 Kings 18:19). Jesus took fasting for 40 days and was full of the Holy Spirit and He was tempted to prove He is Son of God and satisfy His flesh (hunger). Jesus answered the devil from Word of God: “Man does not live on bread alone” (Deuteronomy 8:3). Jesus was telling that He came to this world to fill the hungry who needed something more than bread, they need the bread of life - Word of God-

The devil took Jesus to a high place and showed him all kingdoms of the world. He said that all authority and splendor had been given to him and he could give it to anyone he wanted. He promised that he would give Jesus all these if Jesus worshipped him. It was a temptation for the eyes. Jesus agreed with Satan that the world was under him and

he could give the splendor of the world to anyone he liked. The whole world is under the control of the Satan (1 John 5:16). Satan and his angels have place in heaven too at present (Revelation 12:9,10). Jesus answered the devil from the word of God “Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only” (Deuteronomy 6:13). As Jesus foretold, false christs and false prophets under the power of Satan appear and deceive even the elect (Matthew 24:24). The present day, nice sounding and promising 'heath and wealth' messages do not agree to the Word of God. Jesus told Satan with the aid of Scripture, “Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only”. Jesus meant: “if I am God’s Son I must do things God’s way and His ways are different from yours and I bow only to God, my Father”. Greed for money and lust for position are best weapons used by Satan to mislead believers and ministers for destruction. Now Christians are after splendor of the world. Tertullian said: ”blood of martyr is seed of the church”. Satan cannot defeat the church by trials and persecutions, but he can through health and wealth (blessing and prosperity).

Satan took Jesus to Jerusalem and set him on the highest point of the temple and said, “If you are son of God, throw yourself down from here and angels will guard you”. Devil quoted from Psalms 91:11,12. It was a temptation for the pride of life. Satan was giving Jesus an opportunity to prove He is Son of God by performing a miracle. We should remember, the SIGNS AND MIRACLES are to prove that our Lord Jesus Christ is still alive and He can heal the sick and perform miracles and He is Savior and Lord. Deliverance is a step to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Deliverance is only a beginning and not an end. Jesus answered quoting from Deut 6:16 that he should not put the Lord your God to test. Jesus was saying that He knows that God would not let Him down if He jumps from the highest point of the temple but there is no need to prove it. Faith does not ask for proof (Hebrews 11:1). We need not prove the existence of God or His power over the sick and the devil.

Outwardly temptations are not evil, Satan asked Jesus to turn stone to bread, offered Him all the kingdoms of the world and asked Him to jump from high place to test God’s love and promise of physical safety. Are these not what present day T V evangelists promise? The above are qualities of Christ. Jesus multiplied bread for hungry people, Jesus conquered death and rose again as to

become King of kings. But He had not performed the miracles and signs to promise wealth and health to His followers. The temptations were not evil in appearance but Satan’s trap to destroy the Son of God was there. In two temptations Satan offered to give away his dominion over the world in exchange of power of the Son of God and in third temptation he was demanding worship for material benefits and power of the world. But Jesus defeated Satan when He was challenged to wear crown and not cross.

Jesus overcame the temptations over the world (1 John 5:4), over the flesh (Galatians 5:16) and over Satan (Ephesians 6:11,13) giving us an example .Jesus had power to do whatever Satan challenged Him to do but He was committed to God’s will. We should also yield to the will of God and not our will. We need not prove the power of our God to nonbelievers.

Satan attacked Jesus when He was hungry; He tempted the physical condition of our Lord. Many of Lord’s servants are tempted to go after riches of the world when they see their children are hungry. Devil challenged Jesus to prove his deity. Devil was using the position of Jesus as Son of God to make Him act independently of His Father. Satan was trying to draw Jesus away from His Father. Satan uses the weapon of pride for drawing Lord’s people from their mission. Egoism is a successful tool used by Satan to defeat God’s children. Satan tempts us to forsake God’s purpose for our lives by using God’s gifts for selfish ends. People spend money and energy for positions in the churches. Believers respect positions and not spiritual gifts of the leaders. When I was studying in school we were having a prayer group with a motto: “I am the third” - God first, others second and me third. It is a Christian principle taught by our Lord. Devil tempted Jesus with offer of power quoting Psalms 91 but Jesus responded with Deuteronomy 6. Devil uses half truths and portions of the Word of God. Never get tempted to misuse the Word of God for our ends. Devil tempted Jesus to prove His power in public. He was trying to get Jesus away from His role of 'Suffering Servant' but make Him a miracle man.

Remember the devil cannot make us to do anything because we have self will and conscience. Satan prepares the way and lays the bait. He observes our habits, weaknesses and tempts accordingly. That is why we are asked “to throw off everything that hinders

Remember the devil cannot make us to do anything because we have self will and conscience. Satan prepares the way and lays the bait. He observes our habits, weaknesses and tempts accordingly. That is why we are asked “to throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles”

and the sin that so easily entangles” (Hebrews 12:1). We know what is our secret sin - rather pet sin. Satan uses those sins to trap and tempt us. If Jesus had jumped from the pinnacle, He would have been safe but not His mission.

Apocryphal gospels describe child Jesus making clay sparrows and bringing them to life with puff of breath, dropping dried fish into water and making them to swim, turning His playmates into goats and making people blind or deaf and healing them. In Quran we read that infant Jesus spoke from the cradle about His virgin birth. But in real Gospels we see a Christ who did not use miraculous powers to prove His identity. Satan has the power to force obedience to him to destroy us, whereas God’s power is internal and external for our salvation.

In conclusion, temptations are from the world around us (lust of flesh), the lust within us (eyes, sins clinging to us) and the works of our mind and the devil (pride of life and money).

Temptations from the world (1 John 2:15) and environment. Two examples to illustrate:

1. David should not have stayed in Jerusalem but should have gone to battle field with other kings to fulfill God’s purpose in his life (2 Samuel 11:1). David was not busy in Lord’s work. David should not have gone to the roof, instead he could have spent time in prayer or writing songs. David was idling away his time in the wrong place at the wrong time.

2. Simon Peter had no desire to deny his Master, Christ, but he permitted himself to sit with soldiers around fire in a situation of temptation. Devil is quick to grab such opportunities to tempt God’s children. Remember Psalm 1:1 and keep away from wicked sinners and mockers. Our friends have great influence on us to draw us to commit s in. Be careful about the environment, lest we get into temptation!

Temptation of the world happens when we lower our standards to the level of worldly people around us, when we begin to live to please worldly people and when we set our hearts on earthly wealth or fame or honor or position.

Temptations from flesh (Hebrews 12:1):

These are from our passions and sexual desires. When ordinary desire crosses the boundary set by God in His Word, it becomes lust. It is sexual desires, ambitions, vanity, pride, desire for revenge, love for fame and power, greed for money and beautiful things of the world. Temptation comes from the heart (Isaiah 14:13, Matthew 5:29). Kingdom of Jesus is spiritual kingdom ruling in the hearts of people and gained through suffering, self denial, humility and meekness

Temptations from the mind (Ephesians 6:16, Psalms 64:4, Ecclesiastes 9:12). It is pride and ego.

When we recognize the temptations from devi, we should resist and he will flee away (James 4:7). We should submit ourselves to the authority of the Word of God as our Lord did. Satan is our greatest enemy and without the power of Holy Spirit and proper use of Word of God, we cannot overcome Satan. Remember the kingdom of Jesus in this age is not the kingdom of this world (John 18:36-37). In Paradise Lost, Lucifer says, it is better to rule in the hell than serve in heaven. It is the character of the devil and he injects the same character into people.

"Jesus was tempted to use His power and position to serve His own self interest to attain glory and power over the nations instead of accepting the cross and the way of suffering and to accommodate Himself to the people’s popular expectation for a sensational Messiah .Satan still tempts Christian leaders to use their anointing, position and ability for their own self interest to establish their own glory and kingdom and to please people rather than God. Those who selfishly compromise with Satan have in realty surrendered to Satan’s lordship”. (From: 'Full Life Study Bible')

Miracles and signs for us are to prove that our God is living. Deliverance from sickness and all problems is to confirm that Jesus Christ is Lord and He is sufficient for our life and to follow Him. They are just a beginning for victorious Christian life and not an end. For non believers, deliverance from sickness and demonic forces is to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

opportunities to tempt God’s children. Remember Psalm 1:1 and keep away from wicked sinners and mockers. Our friends have great influence on us to

draw us to commit sin. Be careful about the environment, lest we get into temptation!

Demonstrate GOD’S LOVE in WORDS & ACTION every day!

“And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you, so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord

Jesus Christ with all His saints” (1 Thessalonians 3:12-13)

While writing his first letter to the T h e s s a l o n i a n believers, Apostle Paul pauses for a brief moment and m a k e s a s h o r t prayer for them that he adds in his letter for their information. His prayer reveals his genuine concern for them as it bridges the narrative from the previous portion (chapters 1–3) to the exhortations in the next portion (chapters 4–5). Paul had previously asked God the Father and his Lord Jesus Christ to clear the way so he and his fellow missionaries could return to Thessalonica. Now Paul prayed that the Lord would cause the believers’ love to increase and overflow even more among themselves and toward all people so that they would be free from any reasonable charge whenever Christ might return to the earth.

The prayers of Apostle Paul in this epistle reveals that he has a three-fold desire (“prayer”) from God for the Thessalonian believers:

(1) that God the Father would direct His path back to them as soon as possible;

(2) that the Lord Jesus would cause their love to continue to grow beyond all limits both among themselves; and

(3) that the Lord Jesus would cause their love to also abound toward others outside the church. Paul had sincerely wanted that the Thessalonian believers would increase and abound in love, along the lines of his later phrases “more and more” (4:1), “just as you also a r e d o i n g ” (5:11). Through this love, Paul desired to see t h e T h e s s a -

lonian bel ievers standing fast in holiness when the Lord Jesus returns one day to examine them!

Let us under-stand that love is the magnet that draws believers together, and attracts un-believers to Christ. The core of Paul’s prayer was that the

Thessalonians would love each other more and more. The love for others springs from God’s goodness, forbearance and patience towards us (Romans 2:4). It is not the rule of God’s Law but His goodness and love that leads people to the saving faith in His Son Jesus Christ. In fact, Christ had told His disciples that His followers would be identified by their love for one another.

As followers of Jesus Christ, let us demonstrate God’s love in our lives every day in an ever-increasing measure. We should abound more and more in a lifestyle that pleases God (4:1), and we have to increase more and more in brotherly love as well (4:9-10). However, this love is only possible because it comes from God’s limitless resources (v. 12) for God is love (1 John 4:8b). Our limited ability to love does not change God’s limitless power to love through us! Let us love more and more as we demonstrate God’s love every day in our words and action!

Jesus told His disciples: “A new command-ment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one

another. By this all will know that y o u a r e M y disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35)

The Lord God spoke to King Solomon giving him a clear message of warning and a prescription for remedy immediately after the dedicaion of the Jerusalem Temple. The warning from the Lord came to Solomon when he was in a very happy and contented frame of mind as he knew that his work of building the Temple was successfully accomplished and accepted by the Lord. Fire descended on the sacrifices offered and the glory of the Lord filled the Temple as visible signs of the Lord's acceptance All Israel were witnesses of the events that unfolded on that day. Solomon had every reason to be elated and satisfied as he retired to his palace for a well earned rest. The word of the Lord would have brought him down to earth and made him aware of the realities that would confront him in his kingdom in future. The same Lord who could open the heaven and send down fire to burn the sacrifices in the Temple could also send down pestilences on the land. His people could keep their righteous relationship with the Lord - or, turn to wicked ways. There could be showers of blessings from heaven - or, locusts and pestilences would be on the way!

When pestilences do happen in the land, the Lord prescribes certain remedial actions to be undertaken by His people for the healing of the land. In the context of Solomon, His people are the chosen nation of Israel. In the New Testament context, the people called by His name are the called out people of the Church, the Body of Christ. “Our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people" (Titus 2:14). Hence, the message to Solomon contains a formula for this hour, too. The actions involve four steps:

1. Humble ourselves: We are acknowledging His Lordship in our lives. We

are admitting our weakness and reaching out for His power.

2. Pray: It is, in essence, humility in action. As praying people, we express our own inability and recognize God's ability.

3. Seek His face: This expression means to "desire with passion" - to passionately feel that the presence of the Lord is the number one priority and desire of our heart! We have the beautiful example of Mary's passion to be at the feet of Jesus!

4. Turn from our wicked ways - repent! The expression is self-explanatory: repent and turn - change direction from the wrong way! Repentance is the foundation of Christian life. John the Baptist preached repentance: "Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 3:2). Lord Jesus began His ministry preaching repentance The same message is evident in the Lord's messages to the churches in Revelation 2 & 3.

What will God do in response?

1. Hear from heaven: Sin hinders prayer (Psalms 66:18). However, when sin is taken care of, prayer and its answer can flow unhindered to and from the throne of God!

2. Forgive our sin: Not only is the prayer line restored, but also our close relationship with Him is restored.

3. Heal the land: If God's children will come back to Him in genuine repentance and faith, blessings and healing will decend not only on them but also on the whole land. His name is, "Jehovah Rafa". Repentance and renewal begin with His people. The impact will be for all to see and experience. What an awesome responsibility is resting on us, the Church. Healing has both spiritual and physical dimensions. Healing of the land begins with us! Are we ready to step up and return to Him with humility and repentance?

Prescripion for:Healing of the Land!

"When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and

My ears attentive to prayer made in this place" (2 Chronicles 7:13-15)

from King Ahab, he takes refuge near the Brook Cherith. There, the Lord arranges for ravens to bring him bread and meat twice a day, no doubt from the palace itself – the only place that would have sufficient food during a famine brought on by drought. Ravens are scavengers, consuming both plants and animals, as well as the decaying flesh of the dead. In a time of famine, with food in short supply, it was uncharacteristic of these ravens to not consume bread and meat themselves.

Jonah refuses to obey the Lord’s command to preach at Ninevah, fleeing in the opposite direction, by ship, to Tarshish, 2500 miles west of Joppa. Along the way, a storm arises and Jonah asks his co-voyagers to throw him into the sea as a propitiation. When they reluctantly do this, God has already prepared a big fish to swallow Jonah and keep him safe from the storm. Further, the big fish serves as free transportation to carry Jonah to his correct destination of Ninevah, 500 miles east of Joppa. All the while, the big fish cannot eat anything for 3 days and 3 nights, lest its digestive juices destroy Jonah as well.

The eighth plague that the Lord brought upon Egypt to destroy it was a great swarm of locusts, which

comparing and contrasting between two types of living beings – animals and humans (Isaiah 1:2-3). Animals, which possess a body and soul, are commended for being loyal and discerning, while humans created in God’s likeness and image, compris-ing spirit, soul and body, remain ungrateful towards their Creator.

We read of several instances in the Bible where animals are obedient to their Creator God, even contrary to their naturally observed behaviours:

When Balaam succumbs to the temptation of money and sets off to the land of Moab against the will of God, God sends His Angel to bar the way. So blinded is Balaam by his greed, that he does not even see the Angel standing against him with a drawn sword. Instead, Balaam’s donkey tries to move her master to safety, only to be beaten twice for her efforts. The Lord has to intervene by opening the mouth of the donkey and causing her to speak, in order to restrain the madness of the prophet (2 Peter 2:16).

A prophet from Judah falls prey to the deception of another prophet, resulting in him disobeying the clear instructions God had given him. As a punishment, God causes a lion to attack and kill the man on his return journey. However, contrary to nature, the lion is observed as only standing beside the corpse and leaving the donkey alive (vs. 24-25,28). A lion, which normally wouldn’t eat leftovers and therefore kills to eat, has neither eaten the human it killed nor attacked the far-meatier donkey.

While Prophet Elisha is on the run for his life

2. Wild animals (1 Kings 13:21-29):

3. Birds (1 Kings 17:1-6):

consumed every plant and tree in their path. Yet, when Pharaoh relents and the Lord is entreated, not a single locust disobeys and remains in the land; rather, the west wind blows them all to their death in the Red Sea. They truly demonstrate the discipline of an army, as the Lord later titles them: the locusts, palmerworms, cankerworms and caterpillars which He has pledged to use for devastation (Joel 1:4, 2:25).

Thus, we see that all of Kingdom Animal ia recogn izes and is subservient to their Creator God. On the other hand, the Lord calls on humans to know and consider (Isaiah 1:3b). As His people, we need to know what is to be known about Him in proper manner, else we will be doomed for destruction (Hosea 4:6).

What, therefore, should we know and consider? We must know the attributes of God, like Him being holy, omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient, and strive to be perfect even as He is perfect (Matthew 5:48). Knowing our God has the distinct benefit of carrying out great exploits (Daniel 11:32), even greater than those done by Jesus Himself (John 14:12).

To consider means to dwell upon His wondrous works in general (Job 37:14; Psalm 8), remember all the specific things / blessings he has done for us (1 Samuel 12:24), and ponder upon things to come so that we may choose wisely for our eternal future (Deuteronomy 32:29). Apostle Paul lists out to the Philippian church eight qualities of things on which to meditate (Philippians 4:8) – yet, nothing fulfils all these criteria better than the Word of God itself. May God help us to make His Word our delight and daily meditation (Psalm 1:2).

The Wilfulness of Man

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth! For the Lord has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children,And they have rebelled against Me; The ox knows its owner And the donkey its master’s crib;

But Israel does not know, My people do not consider” (Isaiah 1:2,3)

Jesus heals the blind

corner

Teresa stayed in a s m a l l t o w n where all p e o p l e w e r e f r i e n d l y a n d helpful to

one another. Most of them knew all the other people in town. The town loved to celebrate various holidays and important events. One such event was the town’s anniversary - the day they had their first mayor. The day began with breakfast at the Town Hall, followed by a parade. The day ended with activities at the Community Center.

This year, the school’s drama teacher was organizing a play to be performed at the Community Center. Teresa was playing the part of a Council member in the Mayor’s Council. She was excited about her role and practiced a lot. There were other students from her school who played various other roles. Every day after school, they would gather together to practice the play before they went home. They even had one of the student’s mother create costumes for

the various roles.Two days before the play was to be

performed, the drama teacher fell sick. She felt weak and was in bed most of the day. She apologized to all and asked the Mayor to cancel the play. All the students who heard it were very disappointed. That day after school, when the students came to practice, Teresa asked the other students if they could join in prayer about their situation. After praying, Teresa asked them not to give up on the play and maybe ask one of parents if they could help with the play. None of the parents could help for various reasons. Teresa and the other students were even more disappointed and continued in prayer. When Teresa’s mother saw the disappointed faces of Teresa and the other students, she called some of her friends to see if they could join together

to help with the play. They prayed for guidance on what to do in this situation. It was a big responsibility to oversee such a big group of students. They f igured that the school’s drama teacher had done major part of the organizing and that should help a lot. They have to handle the rest. The play was a huge success at the Town’s anniversary celebration.

This story reminds us to participate in events that will use the talents that God has given us and through it to give God the glory. It also encourages us to step up and help if a sudden need arises and glorify God through it. God wants us to be ready to be used by Him wherever He provides an opportunity. I Peter 4:10-11 reads “each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen”.Beena Aunty

Tomb of Queen Esther, Mordechai in Iran

Orthodox Christians flock to Jordan River to be baptized

The tomb of Queen Esther and Mordechai is an important Jewish pilgrimage site in Iran. It is preserved as a cultural heritage building. It is now under threat by an Iranian student group. According to CBN News, the group released a statement saying that they would tear down the tomb and replace it with a Palestinian consulate.

Significantly, the statement came on the eve of the festival of Purim, a holiday dedicated to honoring Esther and Mordechai. A similar threat was issued in December 2010 by a group of Islamists in response to fears that Israel was planning to damage Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. The present threat has appeared after U.S. President announced his Israeli-Palestinian peace plan.

An account about the beginning of the festival, Purim, can be found in the book of Esther. Ancient monuments found standing or through excavations in the middle eastern countries bear ample proof for the historical narratives given the Bible.

Feast of the Epiphany is celebrated by Orthodox Christians and Catholics a few days after Christmas to remember the occasion when the ‘Wise Men from the East’ (Magi) visited baby Jesus. More than 20,000 Orthodox Christians from around the world flocked to Jordan River in January as pilgrims to celebrate the Feast. Some denominations held

baptismal ceremonies at the River. The Jordan River is believed to be the site where John the Baptist baptized Jesus, as well as where the Israelites crossed over into the Promised Land and where Elijah ascended to heaven.

Jericho District Administration in Israel made all arrangements to facilitate the pilgrimage of the Christian community as they were trekking through their country. The Administration was happy because the event marked a huge rise in tourism and a boost to their economy.

Jordan River is certainly a tourist attraction. But why this ritual of baptism again and again?

A new report shows that some 35 million youths raised in Christian families will leave Christianity by the year 2050. Even though the report is based on data collected in the current American situation, the trend may be similar in all countries of the world. Greg Stier, founder of the youth ministry ‘Dare 2 Share’, says that here is a chance for the church to ‘flip the switch’ or reverse the trend. The churches need to rethink their youth ministry. He adds: “Youth ministry needs to be re-engineered to be Gospel-advancing and disciple-multiplying. It is not about meetings but about the mission. We have to have a higher standard for youth ministry than fun, games, pizza and a 10-minute lesson”.

The assessment of the current status of the youth ministries of our churches is quite realistic. The main purpose of youth gatherings should be to equip the youth for the mission of evangelism and disciple making and not just fun and games!

Adam Wainwright, a base ball star told his Twitter followers that he would begin reading selections each day from the Old and New Testaments on Jan. 12 as part of an endeavor to read through God’s Word in one year. He also set up a

Need to rethink youth ministry!

Baseball Star invites fans to read Bible with him!

Twitter account dedicated to the effort and invited fans to read with him. Thus far, 13,500 have followed his new account, ‘Walking With Waino’ where he posts updates about the daily readings. “This is a cool opportunity for me to walk through God's Word in community with you,” he wrote. “It's my prayer that this would be a blessing and a daily encouragement to you all”. Wainwright was surprised by the positive response that he received from such a large number of people! One person wrote:“I love baseball but I love Jesus and His word more! I am not a fan of your team but I am a fan of yours”.

Tailpiece!

A small town where the inhabitants were most ly Chr is t ians had historically been "dry". Sensing a profitable opportunity, a local busi-nessman decided to start a wine shop / bar in the town. Christians from the local church were concerned and organized an all-night prayer meeting to ask God to intervene. It just so happened that shortly thereafter lightning struck the bar and burned it to the ground. The owner of the bar sued the church, claiming damages because the prayers of the congregation were responsible, but the church hired a lawyer to argue in court that they were certainly not responsible.The presiding judge heard argu-ments from both sides and said: “no matter how this case comes out, one thing is obvious. It is evident that the bar owner believes in prayer and the Christians do not".
