Blog # 357 - "Sow peace to reap righteousness."

Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. James 1:18.

Today’s verse speaks about the fruit of righteousness. It is the peacemaker who sows seeds of peace to reap a harvest of righteousness. The Apostle James uses the word "peace" here to refer to the right relationships among people. He desires peace in the church and among believers, knowing that peace is the only environment in which righteousness can flourish. God loves peacemakers. The wisdom of this world produces trouble, while the wisdom from above produces peace among people. God-trusting, self-sacrificing heavenly wisdom is the source of peace, gentleness, mercy, and righteousness. Are you sowing seeds of peace to reap a harvest of righteousness? Matthew 5:9 says: "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called sons of God."

நீதியாகிய கனியானது சமாதானத்தை நடப்பிக்கிறவர்களாலே சமாதானத்திலே விதைக்கப்படுகிறது. யாக்கோபு 3:18.

இன்றைய வசனம் நீதியாகிய கனியைப் பற்றிப் பேசுகிறது. சமாதானம் காப்பவரே, நீதியின் அறுவடையைப் பெற சமாதானமாகிய  விதைகளை விதைப்பார். அப்போஸ்தலனாகிய யாக்கோபு இங்கே "சமாதானம்" என்ற வார்த்தையை மக்களிடையே சரியான உறவுகளைக் குறிக்க பயன்படுத்துகிறார். அவர் திருச்சபையிலும் விசுவாசிகளிடையிலும் சமாதானத்தை விரும்புகிறார், ஏனெனில் சமாதானம் மட்டுமே நீதி செழித்து வளரக்கூடிய சூழலை உருவாக்குகிறது. சமாதானம் செய்பவர்களை தேவன் நேசிக்கிறார். இந்த உலகின் ஞானம் சிக்கல்களை உருவாக்குகிறது, ஆனால் பரத்திலிருந்து வரும் ஞானம் மக்களிடையே சமாதானத்தை உருவாக்குகிறது. தேவனைக் துதித்து, தன்னை வெறுத்து வெளிப்படும் பரலோக ஞானமே சமாதானம், சாந்தம், இரக்கம் மற்றும் நீதியின் ஊற்றாகும். நீங்கள் நீதியை அறுவடை செய்ய சமாதானமாகிய விதைகளை விதைக்கிறீர்களா? மத்தேயு 5:9 கூறுகிறது: “சமாதானம் பண்ணுகிறவர்கள் பாக்கியவான்கள்; அவர்கள் தேவனுடைய புத்திரர் என்னப்படுவார்கள்.”

"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...
