Satisfied only with YOU

 Psalm 42:1-2

"I long to drink of you, O God, to drink deeply from the streams of pleasure flowing from your presence. My longings overwhelm me for more of you! My soul thirsts, pants, and longs for the living God. I want to come and see the face of God.

In the Book of John 4 we read the incident about the Samaritan woman who encountered Jesus at the well. In the course of the conversation our Lord revealed her TRUE THIRST despite her background, the THIRST of every PERSON to encounter the CREATOR and KNOW HIM. The story ends so beautifully, the woman finally sees JESUS for who HE REALLY is, the REAL LIFE GIVER, and leads her whole village to HIM. 

Dear Reader, like the woman at the well who had a conversation with the CREATOR, you too now, wherever you are, can have a similar CONVERSATION with HIM. The above verse puts its so beautifully. Actually we have been created for GOD's PLEASURE, and enjoy the PLEASURE of KNOWING Him Intimately and enjoying HIM. Only this can satisfy our THIRSTY hearts, nothing material or earthly pursuits can ever SATISFY this emptiness within us."

Discipleship Thoughts - our New Location

-
Hello Disciples, Warriors and Saints! This is my new HIDE-OUT  to document my DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS . I have been receiving some feedback lately to 'enlarge my boundaries'. So, I took this new step to ' SPREAD OUT MY WINGS ', like our father of faith, Abraham and start walking on the 'terrain of the vast promised land'. I also felt this is an opportunity to reach out to a larger audience. Starting today I will only post the links to the DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS in our groups, especially for those of us who are still interested in reading my content.  Please feel free to drop by, stay connected, comment and share your thoughts here. Shalom!

Be anxious for nothing - FCRA or No FCRA

-
Hello Friend, Good Morning! How are you today? Have you been following the news? There is a lot of discussion among NGOs, many of whom seem anxious about what may be coming their way. Recently, I came across several news reports about the FCRA amendment bill, which has raised concern among many Christian NGOs. Some view it as a harsh or restrictive measure and feel targeted. At the same time, there could be valid reasons for the government to introduce such legislation. Can we deny that a small percentage of NGOs have failed to maintain financial integrity in running their institutions? In such cases, the violators should be held accountable and their licenses revoked. As the Bible says, “a little leaven leavens the whole lump.” Some unscrupulous NGOs have brought disgrace to the name of Christ. As Christians, we are called to a higher standard of living, and in this context, running our institutions above reproach is non-negotiable. However, with regard to propagating one’s faith, the...

Do our gatherings truly HELP us?

Do our gatherings truly HELP us grow?   I have noticed  that more and more gatherings  these days, looks more like a  “ Sunday entertainment" center, it  is HARMING than  HELPING God's people from  becoming  ROCK SOLID DISCIPLES . Our meetings should not be just a place for a lot of TALK, Emotional SINGING and Fun , however it should be a place where we are STRENGTHENED, EMPOWERED AS DISCIPLES  and SENT OUT  to be effective witnesses. When a gathering does not have DISCIPLESHIP as its CORE MISSION , then it has already moved away from the Biblical BLUE-PRINT of the Ekklesia .  If you find yourself in such a place, WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? The next best thing I can think of is to earnestly pray and look out for a fellowship which has Discipleship as one of its CORE pillars . That's it for now. Hopefully we will meet again in the next post. Until then, let us continue the journey of renewing our minds .   Shalom!
