Yesterday night I was not able to sleep!I was thinking about my life,my aims,my love for CHRIST,and all extra stuff.But while thinking,lord started talking in my thoughts!And i started thinking about my generation.The gen next!The generation which is so forwad in everything!The perfect generation!When i was thinking I realised that now a days,the most severe heart ache caused to JESUS is by this GENERATION!
I am not saying a lie cause i know how much ache i have caused to him.After this thought came into my heart,i cried,cause I know how much HE loves us.
So, this message is not by me but by my creator who wants this generation to listen to him.
This generation as i've already said is a PERFECT generation.We are clear in our mind about the future we need,about the spouse we want,about career,kids,etc.In short we have plans for everything in our life!Isnt it?
Still I feel there is a major drawback in my generation.If you want to know what is that,then i'll be not so pleased to tell you that,this generation may be forward in many things but it is backward in relation with JESUS.
How?We go to church,we go to sunday schools,we go to youth camps,we are in the church choir,we always are first in any of the christian competitions.
But are we near to JESUS?NO!
We have a big friend circle,we have the latest fashion dresses,we are popular among other students,we have the latest model of mobiles,and bikes,we have girl friends,and boyfriends BUT WE HAVE NO TIME FOR JESUS!
I have heard many a times that'To whom you turn towards,when u are depressed is your GOD'!This is the problem,this generation's god is not JESUS!
GOD SAYS in Ishiah 1:2- Hear, O heavens! Listen, O earth!
For the LORD has spoken:
"I reared children and brought them up,
but they have rebelled against me.
The ox knows his master,
the donkey his owner's manger,
but Israel does not know,
my people do not understand."
Jesus is crying for today's generation.My lord is a jealous god.He doesn't like anybody else getting the worship he ought to have got.This is the plea of my JESUS!
We in this fast life forget many a times,about the purpose of our life.We forget the salvation which we'v received.The grace which we'v received,we treat as worthless.It is so sad that many of us after receiving the salvation,after knowing all the truth,after receiving the power of holy spirit,go back to be the slave of egypt.
But to this generation I want to tell,that JESUS is still waiting for you.Jesus is still standing behind with his hands stretched so that he can hug you whenever you need him.
May be according to you,you are far from him,may be you feel whenever you cry
;he doesnt hear.May be you are having the thought that you are too dirty to go near him.If this holds true in your case then I want to tell you that its devil's technique of keeping you away from the lord.Whatever sins u've committed,you come near to HIM and he'll restore you.
Brother SHYJU MATHEW said- 'Ur past experiences are carefully tailored for ur future ministry. It's a mess that carries a message'
YEAH!come near to HIM nd he'll make you fishers of men!
Friends!whatever has been your past,whatever bad experiences u had in your life,still the never changing god is waiting for you.
Bible says-Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, "I find no pleasure in them".
For all the youth out there,this is a message from your friend.JESUS IS COMING SOON.ARE YOU READY TO GO WITH HIM?

PROMISES OF GOD!
I am writing this article for those young believers,including me, who have surrendered themselves to their creator-JESUS CHRIST!
I was hearing one of the sermons,this morning & felt the holy spirit talking to me,and I realised there are many young and old believers like me,who need to understand this.May the lord bless you.
During his lifetime in this world,Jesus unlike other religious leaders always talked about faith,miracles,life and salvation.Jesus has said many things about faith.
He said in mark 9:23"Everything is possible for him who believes".
FAITH!
My dear friends,do you know the power of faith? More than the power of atom bomb,more than the nuclear power!Jesus said "I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you".Can you believe,such is the power of faith!
Now,What is faith?
Hebrews 11:1,defines faith as-'Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see'.
'Being sure of what we hope for'!What is our hope?
Devil's most powerful weapon is to lead people to unbelief.How? We all act as unbelievers,when we say,this must have been predestined for us!
My dear friends,lord never chose our destiny to be bad.LORD has created us with a specific purpose.He has got a master plan for the whole universe and he has specific job which is to be completed by you only.
The devil's most important role is to blindfold you so that you can't see the plan of god in your life.
For instance when we go for shopping,for buying clothes,the one that comes ready made would not be of our size,it may be loose or it may be tight,it is of somebody else's size,it is mot meant for us.But the ones which is stitched according to our size,would fit us perfectly well.Tailor made specially for US!
For illustration,when David was willing to fight Goliath,Saul offered him his own tunic,but David realized it is not his,he found it difficult to move in Saul's clothes!'He took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd's bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine'! Such is the purpose lord has created for you!
It is never a coincidence,nor ur destiny.It is god's plan for you.
Friends,we need to know What is gods plan for us.
LORD NEVER WANTS YOU TO BE DOWNTRODDEN,lord has a plan for you which is awesome,he is the one who saves you from the devils hand,he is the one who is your refuge,he is the one who decides your future.
Bible says-"Delight yourself in the lord & he will give you desires of the heart"."May he give you the desires of your heart",there are many verses which say that lord fulfills our desires.Can you believe?If you believe you will never desire a small thing!Will a beggar go before a king and ask for 1 rupee?If he asks,does not that mean he is insulting the king? Will you go to a big bank and apply for a loan of 5Rs?
What is your desire?If you ask small things,it means that ur god is a small god!How big is your desire,that big is your lord
For instance I'll give my own example-Whenever I felt low during my adolescence,I always desired that I should have a special friend just like the other girls!How foolish!When the lord of lords and king of kings is ready to be my friend,is waiting desperately so that I come near him and pour my heart out!
My friends,this is our problem.WE MANY A TIMES FORGET,WHO WE ARE?
Lord has chosen us,Bible says,we are like the apple of his eye.We are precious in HIS sight.We are bought by the lord for a price of the death of his own son!HALLELUJAH!
Friends,let us introspect,What is that make us worry in our life?What is the desire in our life?What is his promise for us? Ask LORD!Ask about his plan,tell him about your desires.One of my favourite song,goes like this.
'Things in the past,things yet unseen,
wishes and dreams that are yet to come true,
all of my hopes,all of my plans,
my heart and my hands are lifted to you,
Lord i offer my life to you,everything I've been through,
use it for ur glory,
Lord I offer my days to you,lifting my praise to you,
As a pleasing sacrifice,
LORD I OFFER YOU MY LIFE!
Today let us all surrender ourselves completely to HIM.He alone cares for us.
ROMANS 4:20 says,"Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
The lord promised us that he is always with us,come what may.Apart from this,HE has promises for each one of us,HE wants to fulfill it!Do we have the faith,to rest assured?
Many of us know the promise of god in our own life,but we tend to forget them.Bible tells about lord's servants who,waited upon the lord,for the promises to be fulfilled in their life.Abraham,joseph,moses,noah...the list is very big.
Friends,lord is waiting for us to rely completely to him.Surrender to the lord!He has a BIG plan for you!Surrender completely n u'll see the glory of god.
Because "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"!AMEN!GOD BLESS YOU!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!
Today we've reached the last month of the year 2009.
2009,a year full of dreams,opportunities & possibilities.For me the year had its full package of goodness & some sadness as well.
Then also i'll love to state that once again my JESUS has been good to me.I'll praise my lord coz in the year 2009,12 months,365 days,8760 hrs,525600 min & 31536000 seconds,HE was with me.He never left me,even for a fraction of second.He was there to guide me,counsel me,console me,love me,protect me,care for me,teach me and more.I cant stop thanking him for the wonderful way in which he has shaped my life!
When the world was going through a year full of fear,of possibilities of war,of threat from naxals,of risk of diseases like swine flu & accidents and of fatigue because of the very speed life.The lord has been with me always telling me of the fact that 'FEAR NOT I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS'!
He was always particular that whenever I was feeling depressed,his love surrounded me,he always gave me the attention I needed,he always had his shoulders for me,so that I can shed the extra load of my tears,and now when I remember those days,when I thought that Jesus has left me I laugh at myself for that foolish thought!
Sure enough when we live in the midst of an ungodly society,we are prone for these evil thought which devil brings into our minds,so that we may believe in it & feel lonely.Yeah,believe it or not,this is a powerful weapon of devil especially against us who believe in Jesus and its sad to say that we sometimes believe the liar and hence go against Lord's will.But whenever these temptations came into my life,I know for sure that it was lord who rescued me from the devil's trap and that is why today I dance in gratitude for his abundant love in my life.
This day i reconfirm my love for him.One of my favourite song in Hindi states that "mere jeene ka maksad tu hai,mere jeene ka kaaran tu hai,main jiyun ya marun,woh tere liye hai..."The meaning of this song is- Aim in my life is you,you are the reason I am living,I live or die,its for you only!Today when I hum this song I know that HE is with me and will always be!
Friends I want to tell you that no matter where you are,HIS grace is around you.And his everlasting love which is in abundance is around you.You just need to look up to him and u'll see his grace and when u've seen his love I am sure you'll sing with me "mere jeene ka maksad tu hai,mere jeene ka kaaran tu hai,main jiyun ya marun,woh tere liye hai..."
Waiting in anticipation for singing this song with the body of CHRIST.
Wishing you all in advance for a HAPPY AND BLESSED YEAR ahead!
