"Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God,let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water."
Hebrews 10 : 19-22 (New King James Version)
Draw Near ....Draw Near ...Draw Near ... These are the words that the Lord has placed in my heart to share this morning.
We CAN enter into His Holy Presence with boldness because we have been ransomed by the blood of Jesus Christ.
In our office we all carry id & access cards. When a security guard stops us or when we want to enter the building we show our id and swipe our access cards.
In a similar fashion, when the devil comes and stands before us and says "STOP !! you are worthless, you cant enter into God's presence...You cant call upon His Name..."
We need say "devil you are wrong !!!! I have access through the blood of the Lamb...Jesus Christ died for me and I am washed and cleansed by His blood....My id : He is my Father !! You dont mess with the Boss's kid !! "
God wants us to draw near to Him.... For those who are afar God is saying "Come ... Draw Near " For those who have entered God is saying "Come...Draw Nearer "
How should we draw near ? With a true heart in full assurance of faith ! Have Faith !! Dont let the devil trick us into believing things that are not true. Know who our Father is... Next , submit & surrender ourselves to the Lord and allow Him to have His way in us...That He will cleanse us... Not just our evil conscience but our bodies as well....
Want to know the best part ? The Bible says in James 4 : 8 "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you"... He doesnt let us do it alone...He comes to us...
I always picture this as a baby walking towards his father... As he takes the first few wobbly steps the father looks on...But the father just doesnt stay afar...As the baby takes his tiny steps towards his father, the father takes even more bigger steps towards him...he knows exactly when the baby is going to fall and when the baby does fall , he finds himself safe in his fathers arms...
Lets Draw Near
God Bless

If the Lord wills...
"Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin"
James 4 : 13-17 (New King James Version)
Im sure all of us remember studying about Vapor as kids in our science classes :) Wow...our life is as vapor ! Ever thought about that ? This life that we give so much importance to , this life that we sometimes grumble or get so tensed up struggling to plan it out right .... its just as vapor.....
But yet the Lord decided to come to this earth and pay the price for our sins on the cross...So that this life which we sometimes so arrogantly claim to be ours may be used for His glory . We are not our own...But we are His... We have been ransomed by the blood of Jesus Christ.
I remember chatting with a friend of mine and his complaint was that his dad didnt like it when he wore jeans....And the reason why he was so affected by this ? He was old enough to make his decisions ... How many of us allow tiny things like this affect us ? I know I do so many times...We say "This is my life ...I know what to do !" .... We forget ....This life is not ours...
Every time that I go home to visit my parents they are after me to have my hair tied up and combed nice and flat !! :) Well not that I do that when I am inside the house with them, but when we do go out together I try and make them happy...It may be the tinest thing...But it does make a difference to them :)
None of us can predict whats gonna happen in the next second... How many of us have so arrogantly boasted of what we perceive tomorrow to be like ?
Everything is to be submitted to the will of God. The Bible says that we ought to say "If the Lord wills" .... We need to submit everything at His feet as per His Holy will ...
Why this level of submission ? Well because God has given us authority ! We read in Proverbs 18:20-21 "A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth;From the produce of his lips he shall be filled.Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. " Amazing isnt it ? From the produce of our lips we will be satisfied and filled ....Death and Life are in the power of the tongue.
When we pray we speak out knowing that when we pray things happen ! Correct ? So that means when we speak, we speak with the authority of being Sons and Daughters of the Most High !
Exactly why its important that we submit everything to the plan of God....Few reasons...
Lets not be arrogant or boastful that our life is in our hands
When we speak out there is power in it. Now Im sure none of us would want something which is not God's will to happen to us ! We may speak of many plans, but by subjecting them to God's will we are confessing that not our will be done but His alone
And yes last but not the least , the Bible says all such boasting is evil.
God Bless

In One Accord In One Place
"When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place"
Acts 2 : 1 (New King James Version)
'They were all with one accord in one place'.....wow ! The beauty of joining together in one accord cannot be explained. How many of us have experienced the power of prayer ? Its wonderful and very essential to have our own prayer time. But its also important to fellowship together...To Pray in One Accord !.
Im sure this is a passage which a lot of us are familiar with .... There a lot of things that the Lord has laid upon my heart this morning that I would like to share with you.
As we go on to read Acts 2 we read how everyone who had gathered were filled with the Holy Spirit... Guess what happened to Peter when he was filled with the Spirit ? The man who once let fear overcome him and denied Christ , now spoke with boldness to the entire crowd who were wondering what was happening. Now its not just that, its the wisdom with which he spoke that I want to draw our attention to this morning . The words that Peter spoke was not of his own ...it wasnt his own rationalizing ...he never thought "hmmm ok now this will make a great speech..." Nope... He spoke being filled with the Holy Spirit as the Lord led him . And do you know what happened?
As we read in Acts 2 :36-42 "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers."
When the crowd heard all what he spoke, they were cut to the heart ! Wow ! How powerful are the words that proceed from our mouth when they are in accordance with our Lord's will and when we are anointed of Him. We cant change hearts ! Only Jesus Can ! Our words when we try on our strength are useless....But when we are filled with His Spirit and speak as He leads us then hearts get changed...there is a conviction that takes place...That can only come by the Holy Spirit, The Bible says that around three thousand souls were saved that day ! Wow !! Praise the Lord !
Now wait, it doesnt stop with that .... We read that they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. It is important that we continue steadfastly in the Lord together in one accord.
I pray that we are sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit, that we yearn to be renewed , we yearn for doublefold,triplefold portions of anointing upon our lives,... that we fellowship together in one accord steadfastly.
God Bless

The Joy in the house of our Lord !
"For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness."
Psalm 84: 10 (New King James Version)
Its a whole new week by God's grace. Im sure all of us are all charged up spiritually after having a wondefrul fellowship at church. How many of us agree that better is one day in His courts than a thousand elsewhere?? Praise the Lord for fellowship, Praise the Lord for the body of Christ , Praise the Lord that we have been ransomed, washed and cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ.
Now what is important is that we understand the need to sit at His feet , be in His presence during the rest of the week too. I have personally gone through this roller coaster ride wherein Sunday I am all charged up and by wednesday Im all emptied out ! Or when Sunday I am all charged up and the moment I start driving in the traffic that I give into the world and forget about the peace of God. Lets not give into the world...
When we read Psalm 84 :2 we read "My soul longs, yes, even faints For the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God" .... How many of us are already longing for Sunday to come ? No not to sleep !! But to be in the house of the Lord !
How many of us are just waiting to get back home this evening just to get down on our knees .. Just sitting down at the feet of the Lord and reading His word...Telling Him how much we love Him ...
How many of us are doing it right now ? That no matter where we are or what we do , that our Spirit is in constant communion with the Lord... That the joy of the Lord is just so radiant in us ?
What a joy it is when we have personally tasted the Lord and we say we would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of our God that dwell in the tents of wickedness .
The Joy of our Lord is our strength and I pray we continue to grow in Him , fellowship together and be used for His glory.
Better is one day in His courts than a thousand elsewhere ! Oh what joy to call Him our Father ! Oh what Joy !
God Bless

Do you know your birthright?
"Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was weary.And Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” Therefore his name was called Edom.But Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright as of this day.” And Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so what is this birthright to me?” Then Jacob said, “Swear to me as of this day.” So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright."
Genesis 25:29-34 (New King James Version)
Im sure most of us are familiar with the incident of Esau selling off his birthright. We have heard of it right from the time we were kids in sunday school.
Why did Esau trade off his birthright for a bowl of stew ? Sure ,he was hungry and he wanted to satisfy that desire of his flesh..... But why did he trade it off so easily ?
Its because he was ignorant of what his birthright meant !
Now if someone had just told Esau saying , hey you know what your birthright entitles you to ?
It means you will be blessed without measure... We read in Genesis 27:28-29
"Therefore may God give you
Of the dew of heaven,
Of the fatness of the earth,
And plenty of grain and wine.
Let peoples serve you,
And nations bow down to you.
Be master over your brethren,
And let your mother’s sons bow down to you.
Cursed be everyone who curses you,
And blessed be those who bless you!”
These are the blessings that Jacob got in the place of Esau. Now if only Esau had known that this is what his birthright entitled him to , he would have never traded it off
We are the sons and daughters of the most High...We are a royal priesthood.... We are commisioned by the almighty to change the world for His glory...We are washed by the the blood of Jesus Christ....
But a lot of us become like Esau !! We forget who we are.... We forget our birthright ! As being born again in Christ , purchased by His blood....we forget the authority that God has given us...We forget that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
How many times have we traded off our birthright just to satisfy some desire of the flesh ? How many times have we forgotten who we are and have given in to the needs of the flesh ?
Let us be conscious of who we are ... Lets not trade off our birthright !!
God Bless

Try Jesus
"“Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him"
Matthew 6:8 (New King James Version)
I read this nice story from a blog the other day...A believer walked into a barber shop for a haircut and as the barber cut his hair, the barber kept complaining about how there is no God because there are so many selfish, inconsiderate and mean people out there. So many people who are insensitive , filled with anger and bitterness,...There cant be any God. As the believer got up from the chair he looked at the barber and said "Look outside the window... See how many people have such bad haircuts... There cant be any barber that exists" . The barber said "What do you mean there is no barber ?! They need to come to me ! And then I will give them good haircuts"... The believer smiled at the barber and said "Exactly...People need to come to God...And their lives will be changed"
There are many of us who are and who have family & friends who have an attitude like that of the barber. Just because things have not worked out the way we expected it to work ,we have decided "There is no God !" ..... The Bible says that our Father knows the things we need of even before we ask Him . Wow ! Isnt that amazing ? All we need is to come to Him.... Thats all it takes....All we need is to come to Him and say "Our Father ..." Acknowledge Him as Lord and Saviour of our lives and invite Him to take in charge. And when Jesus Christ is in charge...you can be sure its nothing short of perfection ! Praise the Lord !
I have seen a lot of people who turn to alcohol, drugs, just being rebellious, slipping into depression with self pity,....so many people just lose hope....some go the other extreme and think they can manage on their own strength...... Its time that we tell them "Try Jesus !" ... Our God is in the business of transforming lives :)
We read in Psalm 147 : 3-5 "He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name.Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.".... Our God is a God of compassion... His understanding is infinite.... When we think that no one understands our pain or that no one understands what we are going through , Jesus is saying "I know exactly what you are going through...and not just that, I know what the future holds for you too if you just trust in Me...Let Me take care of you....Just lean on Me..."

To whom much is given , much is required !
"But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more"
Luke 12:48 (New King James Version)
How many of us wake up in the morning and look at our palms and thank God for our hands and every little finger ? For those of us who play musical instruments can you imagine having one finger missing ?
I have been wearing glasses since the age of nine... I cant remember what it feels like to just open my eyes and see everything clearly ... But I praise the Lord for my eyesight...Because all I need to do is just reach out for my glasses and wow I get to see the beauty of the Lord in His creation , I get to read His word.... Im crazy about Music...Praise the Lord for my ears that I get to hear songs of His praise... I definitely dont have a voice to sing but I praise the Lord that I can sing because I know to my heavenly Father it sounds wonderful. When I sit with my keyboard and compose music for His glory and tap my feet and sing in worship to His Holy Name I cant even begin to imagine how blessed I am ! To be able to breathe in fresh air without any problem...every single cell in my body is healthy by the grace of God
Now we need to understand that as the Bible says "to whom much is given, from him much will be required'
God has granted and blessed us so much beyond what we deserve. Two Hands, Two feet , Good eyesight, ears, a healthy body and mind , and a heart that is lifted up to the Lord. Now when God has given us so much ...we need to understand that much is expected of us. These hands need to be used for His glory...These feet need to go places for His glory....These eyes needs to behold things of Him ... These ears need to be intune to the Lord and things of Him.... This mouth....Every word that proceeds from it should be for the edification of others and for the glory of God... The very meditations of our heart need to be acceptable to the Lord...
Lets not take things for granted .... Let us not be among the crowd that realizes the value of something only after its lost
Much has been given to us.... Much is required of us.... Are we doing our part ?
