The Greatest Possession

-

Good morning, Disciple!

A story is told about a poor farmer who struggled for years to make a living from a barren land. One day, an oil company surveyed his property and discovered one of the richest oil deposits in the region. Overnight, the farmer became a millionaire, not because he acquired new land, but because he discovered the wealth that had been beneath his feet all along.

Like the poor farmer in the story, many of God's children live in spiritual poverty because they do not realize that the riches of His glory are already within them. They constantly feel distant from the One who saved them, called them, and made them His own. They fail to realize that the presence of His glory is not even an inch away; it dwells within them.

We have been discussing the Kingdom of God within us and how we can draw near to the One who already dwells within us. Let us meditate on this truth and ask the Holy Spirit to open the eyes of our hearts to this glorious reality.

These are tremendous verses that reveal this TRUTH:


"...that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory."
- Romans 9:23

"The mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but has now been revealed to His saints. To them God chose to make known the glorious riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."
- Colossians 1:26–27

Do you see it, Disciple?

The glorious riches of God have been deposited within us—not merely for observation, but for participation. That's why our Lord said to SEEK HIS KINGDOM FIRST. Then these realities will be revealed to us and will become our daily experience. However, do we truly hunger for this reality?

There is a mind-boggling verse that says we are heirs of God. My mind is unable to fully grasp this; however, it is the truth. Not only is the Kingdom of God within us, but we have inherited God Himself. Romans 8:17

May we never live like spiritual paupers while we have this UNFATHOMABLE RICH INHERITANCE within us, The Kingdom of God: The Greatest Possession.


Shalom!

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!
