"Let us claim the Promises of God"

“Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” and so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. Hebrews 6:14

Today's verse is a promise of God to His people who follow Him faithfully. God promised Abraham that all the families of the earth would be blessed in him. Later, God reaffirmed his promise, telling Abraham his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore and his descendants will possess the gates of their enemies. Today the same God wants to bless us when we obey His voice as Abraham did. As we obey the voice of the Lord, we should claim the promise, "And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God."

நிச்சயமாக நான் உன்னை ஆசீர்வதிக்கவே ஆசீர்வதித்து, உன்னைப் பெருகவே பெருகப்பண்ணுவேன் என்றார். எபிரேயர் 6:14

இன்றைய வசனம், தம்மை உண்மையாகப் பின்பற்றும் தம்முடைய மக்களுக்குக் தேவன் அளித்த வாக்குறுதியாகும்.  ஆபிரகாமினிமித்தம் பூமியிலுள்ள அனைத்து குடும்பங்களும் ஆசீர்வதிக்கப்படும் என்று தேவன் வாக்குறுதி அளித்தார்.  பின்னர், தேவன் தனது வாக்குறுதியை மீண்டும் உறுதிப்படுத்தினார். ஆபிரகாமிடம், அவருடைய சந்ததியினர் வானத்தில் உள்ள நட்சத்திரங்களைப் போலவும் கடற்கரை மணலைப் போலவும் இருப்பார்கள் என்றும் அவருடைய சந்ததியினர் தங்கள் எதிரிகளின் கோட்டைகளைக் கைப்பற்றுவார்கள் என்றும் கூறினார்.  இன்று அதே தேவன் ஆபிரகாம் செய்தது போல் அவருடைய சத்தத்திற்கு கீழ்ப்படிந்து நடக்கும் போது நம்மை ஆசீர்வதிக்க விரும்புகிறார்.  நாம் கர்த்தருடைய சத்தத்திற்குக் கீழ்ப்படியும் போது, "நீ உன் தேவனாகிய கர்த்தரின் சத்தத்துக்குச் செவிகொடுக்கும்போது, இப்பொழுது சொல்லப்படும் ஆசீர்வாதங்களெல்லாம் உன்மேல் வந்து உனக்குப் பலிக்கும்." என்ற வாக்குத்தத்தத்தை பற்றிக்கொள்ளுவோம்.

"Blog Y2 054 - Seek God's Light and Walk in Faith"

Image
For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. Psalm 36:9. King David praised God as He is both the fountain of life; and the source of true light. As the fountain of living waters, He gives joy to those who trust in Him. God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. Jesus Christ is the Light of the World.  Like David, we are called to seek God's light, follow His path, and walk in faith. The Gospel of John shows that Jesus came to give life and light to all who believe in Him.  He is the life giver and He is the one who can enlighten our darkness.  He wants us to walk in His light. Are you truly seeking God’s light and walking in His path, as David did? John 8:12 says: "Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." ஜீவஊற்று உம்மிடத்தில் இருக்கிறது; உம்முடைய வெளிச்சத்திலே வெளிச்சம் காண்கிறோம். சங்கீதம் 36:9. தாவீது ராஜா தேவனை ஜீவ ஊற்று மற்றும் உண்மையான ...

"Blog Y2 023 - You are Called to Love and Follow God"

Image
I drew them with gentle cords, with bands of love, and I was to them as those who take the yoke from their neck. I stooped and fed them. Hosea 11:4. Just as a father loves his son, so God loved Israel and delivered His people from slavery in Egypt. Though they turned to idols, God’s love remained, and He cared for them. He demonstrated His love by sending His only Son, Jesus Christ, who gave His life for us. Through His teachings, suffering, and death, He redeems and transforms us, binding us to Himself. In return, we are called to love Him for all He has done and continues to do. He desires a close relationship with us daily. Will you love God and seek a closer relationship with Him for all He has done for you? John 6:44 says: "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day." மனுஷரைக் கட்டி இழுக்கிற அன்பின் கயிறுகளால் நான் அவர்களை இழுத்தேன், அவர்கள் கழுத்துகளின்மேல் இருந்த நுகத்தடியை எடுத்துப் போடுகிறவரைப்போல் இருந்து...

"Blog Y2 041 - Reflect God's love through actions"

Image
No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 1 John 4:12. The Apostle John reminds us that no one has seen God in His true form because He is a spiritual being, and our human eyes can only perceive physical things. Like the wind, God is invisible. Even in the Bible, when figures like Abraham or Gideon encountered God or angels, they did not see God's full nature. Today, we don’t need to physically see God to know Him. When we love one another, we "see" God through our actions. When we show love, God abides in us, and His love helps us grow spiritually. Whatever is incomplete or imperfect in our lives, God's love fills those gaps. His love is the greatest gift, providing everything we need to live for Him and to love others. If we truly grasp the depth of God’s love and reflect it in our lives, we won’t feel the need to search for other experiences or teachings—His love makes us whole. Are you reflect...

Blog # Y2 013 - "God Turns Troubles into Blessings"

Image
  Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, And the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down, For My people who have sought Me. Isaiah 65:10. Today's verse speaks about God's blessings in store for His chosen people who are saved through Jesus Christ. Let us explore what God says about the two places mentioned in this verse: Sharon and the Valley of Achor. Sharon refers to the plain south of Mount Carmel, situated between the central mountain range and the Mediterranean Sea. It is a fertile agricultural area. The Valley of Achor, located northwest of Jericho on the northern border of the tribe of Judah, is where the Israelites executed Achan and his household. 'Achor' means 'trouble' or 'affliction,' signifying severe trouble. The troubles of the past are reversed and replaced with blessings when we seek Him faithfully, and He even reverses the curses, as Jesus took all our curses upon Himself. Just as Sharon represents a place of fruitfulness and Achor, a ...

"We need to submit ourselves to Christ"

Image
Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:2. One of the best thoughts to meditate on is keeping our minds on things that are above (heaven), not on things that are on the earth. As heaven and earth are far apart, they cannot be considered together; affection for one will weaken the other. It is a choice in front of us: whether we choose good or evil, life or death. Choosing evil things will lead us towards death without hope of eternal heaven. Choosing good things will take us to heaven the eternal life. To choose life, we need to seek God, obey His word, and faithfully follow Him. We need to submit ourselves to Christ to be renewed day by day. Apostle Paul writes to the Christ followers of Rome in Romans 8:6 , "For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." பூமியிலுள்ளவைகளையல்ல, மேலானவைகளையே நாடுங்கள். கொலோசெயர் 3:2. தியானிக்க வேண்டிய சிறந்த சிந்தனைகளில் ஒன்று, பூமிக்கானவற்றை சிந்திக்காமல், பரலோக த்தி ற்கான...

"Blog Y2 080 - Humility brings honor and peace"

Image
A man’s pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor. Proverbs 29:23. Today's verse highlights that pride leads to destruction, while humility brings honor. King Solomon speaks about the destructive nature of pride in personal relationships and the importance of humility in our interactions with others. Pride led to Satan's fall from heaven and is the root of many sins. Pride comes from selfishness and shows itself in envy, greed, anger, rebellion, and stubbornness. Humility, on the other hand, is a gentle spirit that puts others first. By rejecting pride, seeking Christ with gratitude, and growing in humility, we reflect Jesus’ character. How are you embracing humility and rejecting pride in your daily life? James 4:10 says: "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up." மனுஷனுடைய அகந்தை அவனைத் தாழ்த்தும்; மனத்தாழ்மையுள்ளவனோ கனமடைவான். நீதிமொழிகள் 29:23. பெருமை அழிவுக்கு வழிவகுக்கிறது, அதே நேரத்தில் மனத்தாழ்மை கனத்தைக...

"Blog Y2 018 - God’s Voice Brings Comfort and Peace."

Image
The voice of the Lord is powerful; The voice of the Lord is full of majesty. Psalm 29:4. King David describes the voice of the Lord as powerful and full of majesty. This verse shows that God is King, with the power to command all His creations. God's voice is full of majesty, splendor, honor, and glory, and it is beautiful to those who love Him. His voice straightens all the crooked places. Satan trembles at the sound of His voice. We need to hear His voice and listen to Him in the midst of all the noise, such as the chaos and violence in the world.  His voice gives us comfort and peace in difficult times. Just a word from Him grants us wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. The truth is that His people can hear such a powerful and majestic voice, as Jesus said in John 10:27: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." கர்த்தருடைய சத்தம் வல்லமையுள்ளது; கர்த்தருடைய சத்தம் மகத்துவமுள்ளது. சங்கீதம் 29:4. தாவீது ராஜா கர்த்தருடைய சத்தம் வல்லமையும் மகத்துவமும்...
