First Call

Exodus 3:10. Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”

God's first call to a man He intends to use for ministry is a direct invitation into His presence. The message and power required to fulfil the task ahead are hidden with God who resides in the closet, and it is there that He calls anyone He wants to use to meet regularly with Him. This call is not only for friendship and fellowship but for a deep sense of purpose and mission. Only after establishing a strong relationship with God He can be satisfied and send anyone to His people to fulfil His purpose. Without intimacy with God, empowerment for service is impossible. Therefore, we must respond daily to our closet and meet with God in communion so that He can make us ready to carry out His commands.

The quality of our altar with God is directly proportional to our effectiveness, productivity, and success in life and ministry. A man's ministry cannot surpass the strength of his altar with God. Our devotion to our altar with God defines the strength of our life and the weight of the glory of our public ministry. Those who neglect their altar with God often lead uninspiring and unfulfilled lives. We must give ourselves to the closest ministry with God, for it is only then that He will open the door of public ministry to us.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
