Sundar Sundar Pyaar Tera Unplugged Version

JUST AS I AM

Hey it feels great writing something after a pretty long time!!Its not some positive thinking or some tip to make you feel good its just one of the most basic principle of bible given in the book of genesis.Genesis 32:27 says "then the man asked him what is your name? he answered i am Jacob".In this chapter we find Jacob wrestling with God and then God asks him one of the most profound question in all of the scripture and that was "what is your name?". God would have asked him many questions but he asked him this question because of a reason.Years before he had tricked his father Issac who was blind by telling him that he was Esau but now years's later he was standing before the ALL SEEING HEAVENLY FATHER and he said God you have got me it's me jacob!!!WHEN he acknowledged before God who he was God made something great out of him, likewise when we come before God just as we are without any makeup,showoff or artificial spirituality God will surely make something great out of us!!!God Bless

'Desiderata'-Desired Things

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,

and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,

be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;

and listen to others,

even to the dull and the ignorant;

they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons;

they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,

you may become vain or bitter,

for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;

it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,

for the world is full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;

many persons strive for high ideals,

and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.

Neither be cynical about love,

for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,

it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,

gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,

be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe

no less than the trees and the stars;

you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,

no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,

whatever you conceive Him to be.

And whatever your labors and aspirations,

in the noisy confusion of life,

keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,

it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann, Desiderata

[Max Ehrmann (September 26, 1872 – September 9, 1945) was an American writer, poet, and attorney from Terre Haute, Indiana, widely known for his 1927 prose poem "Desiderata" (Latin: "things desired"). He often wrote on spiritual themes.]

power vision OR RATHER vision power!

An excerpt from George Barna's, 'The Power of Vision'

"All men dream; but not equally.

Those who dream by night

in the dusty recesses of their minds,

awake to find that it was vanity;

But the dreamers of the day are

dangerous men, that they may act their

dreams with open eyes to make it

possible."

Vision is seeing beyond what has already been accomplished in the past to what God desires for the future. As a leader, God's desire has to become my desire. Vision is seeing beyond the limitations and frustrations of the present and seeing what is possible with God. Vision is to have a clear God-given sense of direction and purpose, coupled with a commitment to complete the journey.

Vision is Spirit-initiated, not people motivated. Because it is implanted by God, God also imparts the faith to believe it can happen, and the power to see it through. Vision is to have the certainty that this is what God wants done. True vision, born of God, grips a person like a vice and will not let go until the job is done.

The purpose of vision is to create the future. The future is not something that just happens. It is a reality that is created by those strong enough to exert control over their environment. The future belongs to God and through Him to those who are driven to shape it. It is the power of God working through people led by visionaries that cause that image of the future to become reality.

Praise the Lord YUWA

1 corinthians 11 : 19 -

For there must also be factions among you, in order that those who are approved may have become evident among you.

Here Apostle Paul addresses to the Church of Corinth about the things he needs the Church to understand. Here in this verse Paul says that in this world there are some people who hold up or teach of ( especially religious) or have an opinion which differs from the official opinion. These people belong to the murmurring group, who dissents and disagrees from the the larger group.

They are present in the group to bring differences among people inorder to judge and divide. So Paul clearly mentions that with these intentions in heart it is better we don`t be part of the Holy Supper.

Our God is a Forgiving and Merciful God, He loves us . Once we confess our sins before Him, He forgives us, all we need to do is to live in with OBEDIENCE to Him. We are no one to judge anyone, it is Our God who is Perfect in ALL IN ALL. So better we reconcile ourselves and come before in His Holy presence with an open and submissive heart . Once God forgives our sins, do remember not to walk in those dirty part of life again. He wants us to Imitate Him rather than imitating some other people of this world. For all Glory belongs to Our God alone. So better kneel before Our Good God in prayer and seek his presence rather than His presents.

Our God knows our inside out and He alone can fix our problems and find the best solutions . Believe and you shall see the GLORY OF GOD in your life.

God Bless Us All.

Amen

ALL ABOUT YUWA

THE RIGHTEOUS ARE BOLD LIKE A LION

Praise the Lord

Well today i would like to copy paste a funny story which i read it somewhere and would like you also to read it...This story is about boldness ....... here it goes.....

An elderly lady was well-known for her faith and for her boldness in talking about it. She would stand on her front porch and shout, “Praise the Lord!” Next door to her lived an atheist who would get so angry at her proclamations he would shout, “There ain’t no Lord!!”

Hard times set in on the elderly lady and she prayed for God to send her some assistance. She stood on her porch and shouted, “Praise the Lord!! God, I need FOOD!! I am having a hard time. Please, Lord, send me some groceries!!”

The next morning, the lady went out on her porch and saw a large bag of groceries and shouted, “Praise the Lord!!” The neighbor jumped from behind a bush and said, “Ha Ha!! I told you there was no Lord. I bought those groceries. God didn’t.”

The lady started jumping up and down and clapping her hands and saying, “PRAISE THE LORD!!! He not only sent me groceries, but He made the devil pay for them!!”

God`s Will

"Praise the Lord My Young Friends"

It is very simple, or i should say its very easy to give lectures to others about being happy, but before i write one more word ahead let me make it very clear that i am also going to do the same here...yes .... but, it wasnt easy for me to write this all.It gives a great joy in my heart to write this article when i, myself am walking in the rough road of life to seek happiness. There`s a old proverb which just flashed into my mind right now, as i said earlier easy to say but difficult to act upon. here it goes ;

Happiness is not found at the end of the road,

its enjoyed along the way, in which we travel.

I have been always running after happiness and very few people know about me that i am a very ambitious person and would badly strive for success, but some or the other way i would reach very near to achieve it but would not be able to completely satisfy myself, because my expectations would be different to what i receive. I have been shattered many times, but after my every loss there was an unexpected wrapped gift kept for me and that gift would make me more strong and make me try again and again...... well this cycle goes on and on. Let me tell you something about me, i am working as a staff nurse since march 2008 and ever since i have completed my nursing studies like any other nurse, i also dreamt to migrate and work in abroad

where i could earn some big money and could help my family financially and would like to buy a big house to live with high standard of living. Then in few years i thought why go abroad when i can achieve everything here only, if i get a well settled Govt. job here itself, since then i have been trying for a good settled Govt. job here in Delhi but ....... not everything in life is ready to eat 2 minute noodles....

well, sometimes even if we give our best we end up scoring more in the failure list. Then after this continous failure we reach a phase when we come along and meet some people who are much more established than we are and which inturn makes us more weaker... and then there are other people who criticize us more for not reaching anwhere... and then we come to a stage where we loose our hope.. Let me quote an illustration cum fact from one of the posters in our Hospital where i work now, it says :-

Man can live 40 days without food

about 3 days without water,

about 8 minutes without air,

but only for 1 second without hope.

Hard to digest but true... After a lot of failure, i realised that we may plan a lot of things in our life, but God only directs it to success. Well here, i am not saying that we should not dream or plan our future but let me make myself very clear here by Quoting a real example from the Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which i did hear in today`s Sunday Sermon :

Our Lord Jesus, when in the night he was going to be betrayed, in His fervent Prayer to Father God kneels down and Prays, Saying ; "Father, if it is your will, take this cup away from me; nevertheless not my will, but Yours, be done." ( Luke- 22: 42)

Here in this verse Lord Jesus is Praying to take away the suffering which is to come before Him but knowing the fact that Jesus had to go under this suffering, Lord Jesus prays not My will but Your will be done. Lord Jesus had kept His own wish before the Father but acknowedged and Surrendered Himself as a Son to the Father`s will, over His Will.

That is exactly what Father God and even Our Lord Jesus wants from us to do today. To say that Jesus I want to be like you is easy but following the example that Our Jesus showed is not quite easy as it is said. To leave our ambitions, goals, priorities, burdens, motives, aims .... and letting them down and wanting to do what God wants us do is something very Great.

Today when i write this article i want myself and all those who have met Lord Jesus in their life`s to know that Praising and worshiping God is always good but fulfilling His purpose is the real job we have to do and for doing this we have been sent here on this EARTH...

Recognize your talent and Glorify the name of Our Father in Heaven. For in Mathew 11: 29,30 Our Lord Jesus Says, to take the Yoke of God for Lord teaches us how to do that for His Yoke is easy and His burden is Light..

God Bless Us All ...And may He use us All in the years to come, to be His Best Vessel...

Amen.

s.t.a.r.t.l.e.d

Startled...I think it has to be the key word today..when I woke to the thunderous bass of my Father's, I was so annoyingly startled. It was like a sudden and vigorous kickstart to the system, that the whole 'what's happening??' mechanism of my body, reeling under that explosive stimulant, was at a loss to explain as to what's really happening. With eyes twinkling faster than a camera's shutter, it dawned on me that I've been caught unawares. I neglected my chores and was busy building my Kingdom of Dreams.

.... If King Jesus descends on our turf with an entourage fit for the King of Kings, I think a good number of us would be dumbly STARTLED. Taking our dumbness to Himalayan levels we'll think two things...."So, all this was really true, huh!!" ..and when we realise that there was no escaping this reality, the second thought would be "Did it have to be so soon? I was still in my City of Dreams planning to WAKE UP!!"


"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them to the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever."
-Paul's first epistle to the Thessalonians 4:16-17 (NIV)

************

A Sunday morning beamer.....
..... when God calls us up....before his everlasting throne, he would ask us two things (he has all the possible reasons to!!)---
1. What did you do with my son Jesus?
2. What did you do with all the resources (talents, money, comforts etc.) that I gave you?
Be careful when you answer..it may affect your eternity!!

***********

Today was a day of challenges...when you put down the impossibilities in numeric terms...the numbers may initially be startling..but the greater the distance, the sweeter would be the rest and the reminisces, not to mention the victory of going the distance.

"I said, "I have worked, but how hopeless it is! I have used up my strength but have accomplished nothing." Yet I can trust the Lord to defend my cause; he will reward me for what I do."
-The Book of Isaiah 49:4 (GNB)


The second post after the first post....and I'm loving it. When there's a blank screen in front of you and an equally blank blog before you, you are forced to dig deep and you would be startled by what lies beneath. Seriously...

Lifesong

In an utterly contemplative disposition of my mind..

Casting Crowns playing at the background is striking a chord somewhere "Let my lifesong sing to you!" Only if it had been as easy as singing a song.

A mixed day. Nothing much to look forward to. I see a few weeks of similar monotony....A nice chat, a boisterous sister, exuberant guests made the bulk of the the day. Two weeks of hard labour-my beard is under threat of annihilation!!! No point in resisting ...would have to GIVE IN...:)

Blog seems to be deserted...the last entry was on October 6. Thought of writing my mind. The problem of sharing LIFE is that it needs a message. Do not strain...you have heard it before...had Gandhi been alive...he would have been an avid blogger. Nothing like a public notebook to make your "My life is my Message" ideals known to the world. It's quite a deal to have a life worth emulating...
A second dilemma is the loss of that comfort of oblivion that one so zealously guards. Nobody knows, nobody hears, nobody sees and you feel your life is your own and private. But then, anything for Christ....

So I think I'll be here often to share and explore my mundane. I hope many in the course would sing that lifesong with me. If only......

To God Be The Glory

I am really excited to write this article on the auspicious day of YUWA's birthday. Today YUWA has completed a fruitful year of ministry among the youth. Have you ever heard of a one year old baby writing something meaningful? But today I am going to recount all the wonders God did in the past, yes you are right I am going to make you all  nostalgic. It all begun with PMFI creating a youth wing called YUWA but it was more than that, everyone in YUWA associated themselves personally with it as it was their own childhood vision to have something like this. So here we go as we remember what all happend this one year and I hope that some good old memories will be stirred to life....please do go through it

To start with YUWA is all about God Almighty and His work among the youth. From the beginning when the team was being formed,we all anticipated that it was more than a mere "FELLOWSHIP" or a "MEETING". We always felt that we were all sufficient lacking nothing but God from time to time reminded us that "its not by might nor by strength but by his Spirit".We saw the making of many great people in YUWA and saw the breaking of many small issues of everybody's life which was hindering God's work through their life. God equipped us with people of various talents and traits.

Our Director Siju Thomas always had a proper setup of everything in his mind which he shared with us like the small boy who shared his lunch with Jesus Christ which in turn lead to the filling of more than 5000 empty stomachs!!.

Reni would by then leap out of nowhere with a idea which would be of great help to all and I don't think that anybody has forgotten his jokes and accompanying people in their travels (not to forget his treasury department!!).

When we had a big problem and were worried about it, Felix would just come with a word of prayer and we would be strengthened by the Lord (please message him your prayer requests).

Anto and Blesson are the one's who are responsible for the creative thinking (I don't know how they do it but they do it all the time, don't forget Anto's drum or he will ROLL you over and Blesson's marvellous IT works).

Here comes Ajin with his Govindpuri unit meeting, sms invites (that is the time when we remember that we have a unit there) and his pains in working it out smoothly (Do watch out for his choreo on the 15th Oct meet).

We have Anu Abraham who initiates and makes all those lovely handouts which might be in your Bible, if you had been to our meetings even once.

Tincy Philip, our Indrapuram unit co-ordinator (she has threatened me to write about her or I will be executed for the crime) is a think tank, an active member and a worshipper who hates chairs in our Musical Evening as it restricts her in dancing and worshiping the Lord!!.

We have a Worship Team who are always ready to crack a joke or two during their so called "Practises", many have been a part of the team and naming them would be a task worth doing so they are-(Jolly Joseph, Samuel Sashi, Anson Abraham, Vicky Gupta, Anto, Ajin, Rhema, Feba, Sherin Philip, Mishael, Blesson, Felix, Saji and Deepak). The Worship Team has informed me that on the "Thanksgiving Day" (15th October) they will offer unto God a sacrifice of Praise as never before so do come and be part of it.

Special thanx to Merlin Philip for her support, Sajo Varghese for the fire breathing articles,

PRAISE Team for their musical help (Limi, Sumit Varghese, Gaurav Singh, Siju Abraham and many more for their efforts put into the choreo ssection) and for everyone who has done their bit in YUWA be it bringing food, accompanying somebody or at the least putting the chairs in our meet.

I at this time remember all of our sponsors without whom this journey would have been impossible (nobody knows your problems in which you were, when you supported us but God knows and He is gonna bless u more in the days to come). YUWA had wonderful and supportive pastors who helped us with their words of encouragement and caution,church hall, the food during the practises and financial support too (Pr NP Philip, Pr VT Thomas ,Pr Jiju Mathew, Pr Jose Samuel, Pr Johnson Ramachandran and many more). It would be a great injustice to forget our parents, patrons and well-wishers who have prayed for us and have helped us when we needed it most. The people who prayed when nobody heard it except God Himself. Yuwa thanks you and may God bless you. Not to forget our marvellous resource persons with whom many of us now have a close bonding namely (Pr Sam Ajith, Ashish Babu and Joshua Samuel).

Whoaaa its not even a drop in the ocean  but anyways it's only the Beginning For the Beginning(YUWAMANIA has Just begun)!!!

BEING HUMAN OR BEING CHRISTIAN...THE CHOICE IS IN OUR HANDS

Sorry seems to be the hardest word???

Father ,please forgive us our sins even though we do not forgive those who sin against us...
Forgiveness is a lot harder than it seems or is made out to be...

Peter came to Jesus and asked" lord,how many times should i forgive my brother when he sins against me ? Up to seven times? Jesus answered " I tell you not seven times ,but seventy times seven...". In the next following verses the Bible says " the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servats . As he began his settlement , a man who owned him ten thousand talents was brought to him. Since he was unable to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had b sold to repay the debt. The servant fell on his knees before him,"be patient with me" he begged and i ll pay back everything.'The servants master had pity on him ,cancelled the debtand, let him go. But when the servant went out he found one of his fellow servants who owned him one hundred dinarii..he grabbed him and began to choke him..he begged ..fell on his knees but couldn't be pardoned.. when the news reached the ears of the master ..he called the servant in 'you wicked servant ' he said ' I cancelled all the debts of yours because you begged me to . shouldn't you have had mercy on your servant just as i had on you? in anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured ,until he should pay back all he owed.

We tweens ,teens and young adults have everyday experience of this kind when we get ourselves into quarrels or cold-wars (not necessarily collar-grabbing or catfights) . In our every step we come across people who may not even like us , be mean to us , or just want us to trip as we climb...so, what do we do when we face such negative energies around us???

we have two options one is fun and easy however the other one is tough...either we can give tit for tat treatment as in an eye for an eye , so that the people know what it is like messing with us and prove ourselves to be the king and queen of the jungle or go with the other option...

The other option is far more difficult to be taken and cannot be taken by a mere human as it is what is going to differentiate us from the rest...that is to forgive the people and show them the Love God showed us....(ref.Luke 6:37 and Luke6: 27,28) and let them know Who we have fellowship with!! And if we forgive..it should not only be said but has to be felt and shown . We should pray for them and love then more than we do for our friends and be the "Salt" . So the next time we are planning to give a prayer offering to God lets make sure that there is no brother or sister out there towards whom we have even the slightest of grudge or coldness (ref. Matthew 5:24) . May God bless us all with a life free of jealousy , envy , discord , and contention of the lowest of lowest to highest of highest levels .

Godbless

Being Human Christian

To be a Human is not a much difficult task, but to be a Christian is not an easy task.

The "Person" of Christ is now at the right hand of the father in Heaven.

But only by his spirit, his presence can be in you and in me-and in every Believer throughout the world (Romans 8:9)

A Human baby receives from its parents, the nature and character of the family. But, when we are born into God's family,

We receive Christ's image and his nature i.e. others should not see a normal human in us but must find Christ in our character.

A human is forced to fulfill his desires which many be sinful in nature.

He can adopt any qualities- good or bad. But, a Christian must adopt the qualities of Christ i.e. the fruits of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-24)

Each of the fruit is a specific quality of Christ’s life- an aspect of his “being”.

The best way to preach Christ is through our life i.e. our character, the way we live and communicate amongst others. We must practice the fruits of the Holy Spirit (as in Galatians 5:22-24) in our daily life and in every situation. As we submit to His spirit, God’s love grows strong within our lives we become better Christians and more like Jesus in our character.

Hence, we become a blessing – to God, to others and even ourselves.

-Sajo Varghese

"Don’t Quarrel on the Way"

Genesis 45: 24 

This was the instruction that Joseph gave to his brothers while they were departing from Egypt after realizing that the supreme authority of Egypt was their brother Joseph whom they tired to kill, a long time back( Gen 37:12-36). Whatever happened to Joseph was God’s plan. Joseph knew that a quarrel could have broke out between his brothers on whom to responsible regarding the plot to kill or sell off their brother Joseph. The reality was that, everything in Joseph’s life went according to God’s plan. But an eruption of quarrel amongst his brothers would have worsened the God’s plan of reuniting Joseph’s family in Egypt at the time of famine in all countries. Joseph realized this and that’ why he instructed them to not quarrel on the way.

From the above passage, we must realize that we are also on our way to fulfill God’s will. But many of our sins divert us from God’s plan. Quarrelling is also one amongst sins which spoil our life (Proverbs 17:19). People quarrel to justify themselves, whether right or wrong. But, quarreling never brings justice, rather turns into an unquenchable fire leading to disaster (Proverbs 17:14). Hence, we must avoid quarrels in our family life, in our schools, colleges, neighborhoods or working places because a righteous man never quarrels rather he maintain silence (Must read 2Timothy 2:24, 1Thessalonians 4:11).

WHO DECEIVED THE SERPENT?

Genesis chapter 3(read it)

From our childhood,we see the serpent(snake) as an evil creature. For instance if we see a snake in a nightmare,we say that something terrible is going to happen. It's all because of what happened in Genesis chapter 3. On that day, snake got cursed by God and became the enemy of christians

But we know, snake is just a living creature, a wild animal created by God(Gen 3:1,first line). The snake had no intention to destroy the god's valauable creation i.e human being by deceiving Eve and Adam and turn them away from God.

It was the devil that used the snake to deceive human being. The devil used the snake instead of any other wild animal because the snake was more crafty than any other wild animal(Gen3:1)

The snake's craftiness helped the devil to use it and lead it to be cursed by God(Gen 3:14). Hence, the snake(serpent) got deceived by its own craftiness. Just like that we human beings should take a lesson from snake and realize that its our own craftiness or sinful nature that leads to a depleted bond between ourselves and God. Also our sinful nature or bad habits permits the devil to use us and make us his slaves which inturn leads to our own destruction.

Hence, let's not deceive ourselves!!

(Read Galatians chapter 6:7-8)

The Blood of Jesus

Forwarded by Ajin..One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God at her heart.

She responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior.

The young woman had a very rough past,involving alcohol, drugs, and prostitution.

But, the change in her was evident. As time went on she became a faithful member of the church.

She eventually became involved in the ministry, teaching young children.

It was not very long until this faithful young woman had caught the eye and heart of the pastor's son.

The relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans.

This is when the problems began.

You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman with a past such as hers was suitable for a pastor's son.  The church began to argue and fight about the matter. So they decided to have a meeting.

As the people made their arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was getting completely out of hand.  The young woman became very upset about all the things being brought up about her past.

As she began to cry the pastor's son stood to speak. He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be. He began to speak and his statement was this:

"My fiance's past is not what is on trial here. What you are questioning is the ability of the blood of Jesus to wash away sin. Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial. So, does it wash away sin or not?"

The whole church began to weep as they realized that they had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past and use it as a weapon against our brothers and sisters.

Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely then it cannot cleanse us completely.
If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble. What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! End of case!!!!

"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved."  Psalm 55:23

It is a misconception that 'christians are perfect'..being a christian does not prevent you from struggling or feeling down, discouraged or defeated... Life is a journey and at times its hard, frustrating and lonely...so in our daily life we need a tool that would help us to be spiritually encouraged and inspired..and would help us in our daily walk with Christ passing by all the obstacles and shackles of the devil . The tool is " FAITH" in God.

Havent we ever seen a child looking up to his father when he needs help? Its is so simple , so natural , and yet so beautiful picture of this seemingly 'esoteric' substance we call as faith.
Sometimes we concentrate or focous so much on faith itself...that we tend to complicate matters for ourselves and forget that its not the size of our faith ,but Who we trust in that truly matters...
Isnt that why Jesus told us that even the tiniest amount of faith can move mountains( Luke 17:6)? For at the end of the day,its not the size of our faith , but the almighty power of the One we put our trust in that causes miracles and wonders to come to pass in our lives.

What is our problem today??
Is it sickness?Look to Jesus ! For He willingly suffered tortorous strikes after strikes so we can confidentally declare " By His stripes, I am healed"
Is it something we have been desiring for so long now? Look to Jesus! For He is our good Shepherd, and He has promised to always provide for us.
Is it our financial lack? Look to Jesus! He is the richest ...the King of kings
Is it a temperory problem in our families? Look to Jesus! For His word says..He will extend his salvation to both you and your household(Acts 16:31)
Whatever it is that we lack..whatever it is that we need ..our Lord had already forseen it and purchased it on the Cross for us.

When Peter got distracted by the boisterous winds and waves around him and began to sink( right after he miraculously walked on water from simply trusting Jesus' words), he did the exact same thing. Again he looked upto Jesus for help....n what did Jesus do..? At his first cry for help..Jesus reached out and saved him !

The good news is He 's exactly the same today! Ever willing to reach into our lives and deliver us... Jesus has never dissapointed anyone who looked to Him for help...
Godbless:)

HISTORY MAKER

Hey frnds its just another "drop in the ocean". "God is at work" in our lives and as YUWA as a whole. Just wanted to share with you an experience through which the great man of god Dr Paul Yonggi Cho went through, its funny but dynamic.So the story goes like this....

The man of God(Dr Paul Yonggi Chow)was in the initial stages of his ministry. He was called for a "7 day crusade" which was organised by a church who(like us) were ready to "experiment" with a "new" preacher. Day 1 was really horrible as the people who attended it played cards,taunted,laughed and scorned while he preached the word. He lacked boldness and Holy Spirit in his preaching and life.The power of god wasn't there in the meeting and he was on the verge of "spiritual" depression. As attendance was low in the 1st day he even doubted if he had been called by the lord. So late in the night he was in his room(tent because it was an open air meeting)praying desperately to god why had he called him into ministry. While he was praying a man came to his tent,his both legs were broken and came to be healed through Paul Yonggi cho(who was literally in a similar condition ie spiritual paralysis). On seeing the faith of the sick man he prayed for hours but nothing happend. He went back to the corner of his tent and cried to the lord because of his and the sick man's condition. Meanwhile two robbers had come to the ground(ground occupied for the crusade) to steal something(they dont know what it was but had come anyway)

Suddenly God filled him with his Spirit while he was praying and he went to that sick man and said "stand up and be healed in the name of jesus". The man was really afraid(oh my goodness why the hell i came there) and couldnt help himself to stand. Yonggi Chow stood upn the sick man's knees and started praying.Suddenly the robbers came that way the pastor commanded"hey you there!!,yes both of you,come and help this man in the nmae of Jesus". The robbers obeyed and helped him get up.The sick man overheard the breaking of his bones when he was trying to stand up and yelled"help this man is killing me". God touched him and he got healed hallelujah!!. That man gave his life to jesus along with that two robbers who later became assistant pastors of yonggi cho's church. The rest of the meetings were power packed and history bears witmess to the fact that this man of god went on to became the pastor of the biggest church of the world with over 10 lakh(as of 2007) in korea.

Be it peter who was afraid to testify about jesus and later when Holy Spirit came on him went on to led 3000 people to christ in a single sermon or Yaul Yonggi Cho whose life stands as an xample to all of us who are cowards and self righteouss. Be it C.H Spurgeon,Wigglesworth,John Wesley,Luther,Benny hinn,Calvin,John Bunyan, or be it you. God can change you from a luke warm,passive,self centered believer into a person who stands for God boldily.I can happen to you when you surrender your life to him and stand in awe of what he can do through you.Who will Stand and Speak For god??? Are you Ready to become an History Maker for GOD

FRUITS OF SPIRIT

Give me the fruit of LOVE
Deep within my heart
That I may seek not myself to please
But to others, give and forgive

Give me the fruit of JOY
Deep within my heart
That I may smile in every circumstance
And with joyous strength continues to advance

Give me the fruit of PEACE
Deep within my heart
That I may be still in your presence
And submit my worries to your omniscience

Give me the fruit of PATIENCE
Deep within my heart
That I may understand my neighbor’s imperfection
And bear my burdens with total resignation

Give me the fruit of KINDNESS
Deep within my heart
That I may always be true to you in my life
And submit to your divine will, like a true wife

Give me the fruit of HUMILITY
Deep within my heart
That I may prefer to serve than be served
And let my boastful good work go unobserved

Give me the fruit of SEL CONTROL
Deep within my heart
That I may withhold the emotions of fleshly nature
But rather live by these fruits that you give and nurture

Thorns First, Rose Next

A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, “How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom… it died.

——————————

So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects.

We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.

Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them.
