Topic: Blessed family And Broken Family.

Joshua 24:15. I and my house we will serve the Lord.

There is no such thing as a "perfect family. " All families are broken. Even God's family has been split and imagine how God felt when the Angel Lucifer rebelled against God and took a team of the angels with him whom we now call as satan, devil and its foes.

Jesus came into the world died and rose again to be a reconciliator between God and sinful mankind.

So, when a family invites Jesus to be part of the family as a reconciliator, Shepherd and guide, He transforms the brokeness, cruckedness, raggednessedness into a refreshing smoothness of life. Christ becomes the foundation for a joyful harmonious unified family with peace reigning in the family.

Blessed families -
They love each other.
They go together.
They pray together.
They praise together.
They grow together from imperfection to perfection. They have fun together. Communication becomes edified and sweet. It becomes the fulcrum of their family.
Simple reason. Christ reigns in the family. A good happy and blessed family is perhaps more like a garden. It needs time, attention and cultivation. Whether they are poorest or rich, the sunshine of laughter and joy blossoms always and Overflows.

These families give time to each other, attention and cultivation. They desire to serve the Lord together.

Well broken families always face shame and blame. You can notice. No one admits but blame each other.

Causes of broken families are :
Abuse by parents and each other.
Frequent domestic violence.
Lack of intimacy.
Disrespect.
Parental conflict.
Communication break down.
Temperament. No self control.

Family members regularly display actions of abuse and disrespect that hurt the children psychologically n spiritually.

Help us to introspect as a family, and pray together and worship together as a family building on love and peace of Christ... and be a blessed family to be a blessing...

Topic: Praising God! Who Can Enjoy Praising God? What Are It’s Blessings?

People who pray are people who praise. Those who have the practise of talking to God I.e in prayer will have the eagerness to praise God.

Praise is a gift we give back to God in the light of all that He has done to redeem us. When we are grateful we automatically praise God.

Truly admiting, I and you can never praise God or enjoy in praising God when there is unconfessed sin in us.. A clean confessed repentant heart has the access to enter into His presence. He or she enjoys His presence to praise and glorify God.

Children of God who are obedient and trustworthy to the Lord God, will not only just praise God but enjoy to praise God at ALL times and in all situations like Apostle Paul who praised God from the prison with his bruised and wounded body.

People who have the habit of praying and prasing God has numerous blessings:

"Praise in our lives destroys and dissipates worries, doubts, loneliness, fears, despondency, disillusionment and depression. Praise refreshes us with renewed strength and hope." It strengthens faith and enhances confidence.

Praise draws power from the source of Almighty God which cripples the wings of satan, the powers of dark and evil attacks. Mostly in praise and worship, healing and deliverance takes place and restoration...

Create in us a clean heart O Lord and give us your grace to be obedient to your voice so that we enjoy praising you and have the blessings of restoration of what we lost and healing our physical and Spiritual well being....

Topic: I'm Blessed Favoured And Secured; Because Jesus Is My Life And Source Of Joy.

Philip 4:4.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

Sadness is the daily portion of many people. The world is full of suffering and hardship, and it can be difficult to find peace and happiness.

As a result, people can become bitter about the Adversities and struggles in their lives, and many of us sometimes blame God for our hardship and sorrow.

Apostle Paul, however, had a different message to share. Though he was in prison and had gone through many hardships, suffering and persecutions, he knew he could still find joy in the Lord, his Creator and Savior. He wrote to the Philippians from the prison: “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!”

Joy and happiness in the Lord is not a trivial or fleeting emotion. Instead it results from the deepest possible peace of knowing that our destiny is secure in God’s hands. As a result, a person can have deep and lasting joy in the Lord even in the midst of great anguish, loss, suffering and pain.

Of course, Life is not an amusement park. We face struggles and cross dark valleys and struggles. But our happiness is not a superficial, fleeting emotion. Our joy does not depend on the circumstances in which we find ourselves. It can never be stolen by anyone and not even satan because we are secured in Christ who is our bread, refuge, our strength and fortress.

As Paul puts it, our joy is in the Lord. In other words, Jesus is the source of our joy. He is the content of our happiness. Our happiness is not just in the absence of bad things or in the presence of good things. Our happiness and joy is in Jesus, knowing that he loves and cares for us and is with us always—forever! ....

Topic: Relationships. It's Not Wealth But Relationships Are Most Important In One's Life.

Ephes. 4:32. Be ye kind one to another tender hearted, forgiving one another, even God for Christ's sake has forgiven you.

John 13: 34. .. Love one another as I have loved you...

I would say, if we have mastered good ethical relationship we have mastered 75% of issues of life's problems - be it in a family,
our profession,
amongst friends' circle,
neighbours,
peer group,
or in the society. Especially in family life- relationship between your spouse, son, daughter, father, mother, mother in law. If we are successful at home it will be much easier to extend it in the society. Be an Angel at home. If you are an Angel at home, you will be an angel wherever you go - is what I feel and understand.

But if we are a devil at home always 24x7, inspite of best efforts we will show glimpses of devilish traits now and then from our life within. Because what's in our life will automatically come out even you suppress it.

With all experience in life and in my walk with Christ, I would say some of the best treasures of life we can afford to have is, having an excellent trustworthy and loving relationship.
I would say, there are numerous blessings that come along with it.

Foremost blessing and benefit is, we will have peace, tranquility and calmness within us. Good ethical relationship avoids-
day to day friction,
arguments,
being angry 😠 often.

It brings favour and promotions in our profession.
We will be loved by all because we sow it first. Word of God says, "love one another as I have loved you."

I always share time and again in my church - the importance of love, harmony and unity which comes only when we foster good ethical relations.

TrueRevival, sadly, I say is at a slow pace and in many churches it's a standstill because there is gossip and envy, putting down others, not liking others to come up. Mean healthy relationship is the need of the day to bless others.

All this can be improved and perfected if we could delight in understanding God's Word.

Bible is a book about relationships. Our relationship with God is a starting place. If we have good relationship with the Lord, it will be much easier to have relationships with others. If we love our Lord God, we will love others even if they hate us,
even if they harm us,
even if they put us down, and even if they dishonor us. We are the apple 🍎 of His eye. King David said, "He Wil lift us up before our own enemies."

Help us Lord to pursue, to delight in having good ethical relationship with you so that we will be blessed with love, forgiveness and foster good relationship....with others...

Topic: Everyone Is Unique And Gifted. No One Must Feel Inferior.

Because the Word of God says in Ps. 139:14. "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made."

I don't bother what people and the world thinks about me, but I know in God's sight I'm precious, and I'm fearfully and wonderfully made. And you too ....

But, we often hear people complain that God skipped over them when passing out the talents. They envy others who have musical abilities, speak publicly, sing melodious, cook nicely, gifted in playing certsin sports, or have any other talent they don’t have.

But everyone has God-given gifts, even if you don’t recognize or use them. But, it’s dangerous to compare our lives with others. Because it can leave us discouraged, resentful, or even angry, and it will prevent us from being thankful for what God has given us.

God gives us the talents needed to fulfill His plan for us. In 1 Peter 4:10-11, we are told, “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:
whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God;
whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ...

And in James 1:17: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights.” God wants us to use our talents to bring Him honor and glory and to bless others and not hold it for our selfish gains.

So, instead of being disappointed with what we have been given, we can ask God to show us how to use them. The more we use them, the more He will bless and give us.

Romans 12:6 says, “Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: in proportion to our faith.”

In thee O Lord, we are a new creation, precious, divine and unique. Lord therefore help us not to compare ourselves with others in either spiritual gifts, in financial matters and professional career and be envious. But help us to praise others for God's blessings on them so that you bless us because of our pure heart, good motives and undefiled love. In Jesus...

Topic: Father's Day! What Gift You Gave To Your Father Till Now?

Ephes. 6:2. Honor your father and mother.

By being grateful and thankful to your father and giving him reverence and honor I believe strongly, is the greatest gift you can present to your dad.

Father's Day is celebrated annually on the third Sunday in June in many countries across the globe 🌎. This day highlights the importance of Fathers and their contributions to their children's lives. This year it was on June 16th. Sunday there is no devotion on You Tube. So, I share on this topic today.

When Father's Day was first celebrated? It was first celebrated in the United States way back in 1909 in Spokane, Washington. This was initiated by Sonora Louise to honor her father, a widower who raised her six children.

We too lost our mom in the early days of our childhood. This story reminds me of my dad who too raised his six children with a single income going through the challenges of life.

And he raised his children in a godly way backed always with prayers. We all siblings are blessed without any lack whatsoever by God's grace. Its because of dad's sacrificial prayers and discipline.

The word of God says in Ps. 34:10. Those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. It became true in our family because of my father who sought the Lord in all his ways. And he served God in the church and sunday school ministry too sincerely apart from His secular job.

It's every Father's dream and wish that their children are more successful and more blessed then they...

That's the only reason father takes a daunting task to guide children with "Yes And Nos." They take that extra risk for their children as they desire they come up with success in society. And therefore they encourage, motivate, guide and correct them more than mothers, if they stray aside, away from moral values, and from going wrong path. A wise father takes steps to guide them to safety.

Word of God says, in Ephes 6:2. Honor your father and mother.

Children who are in Christ know the value of what the father says and advises them from time to time. They feel dad and mom are most important in their lives next to God. They make every effort to obey dad n mom even if they don't like their advise. They give reverence to the father. They love the father and make him happy by spending time with them, sharing their success and their day to day life stories. They honor their father and take the parents advise sincerely. And such children are blessed like stars in the darkness.

Such children are no doubt also are precious gifts to the father who cherishes their success and blessednes in the society. And become proud blessed father and mom.

Those who are not in Christ however, they think their parent's advises are outdated and obsolete. They go their own way demanding more freedom. Children need to understand moral values never change even when times change. Word of God never changes even if culture changes. They bring sorrow and pain by misbehaving and by not heeding to their precious advise.

Lord we pray that every child will live a life that brings added joy and peace in family. Every child in the family will ever be grateful and thankful to parents as they become older and older.
