Topic: Open My Eyes. Open My Eyes Lord To Behold Wondrous Things Of Life.

Luke 24:31. We read that the two disciples eyes were opened and they recognised Jesus, as He broke the Bread. And He vanished from their sight.

In pain, in suffering, in affliction, in answers for prayers get delayed, in sickness, we tend to see with our natural eye and panic often times as we see natural things of the world but nothing supernatural.

We often get scared by the natural circumstances and keep seeing through our natural eye and behave naturally forgetting we serve God who is not only supernatural, but Omnipotent and Omnipresent. We need to learn to live in supernatural by drawing closer and closer to the Lord..

If we mediate 2 kings 6th chapter 15th verse, we see, Ghaazi, the servant of Elisha, risen early and went out, and he saw with his eyes, host of enemy army compassed the city along with horses 🐎 and chariots. And said unto his master in fear, "Alas master, what shall we do?"

17th verse Elisha said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant and saw mountains were full of chariots of fire round about Elisha. It simply says, when we are obedient and walk in the fear of the Lord and in faith, we see supernatural power and His wondrous works around us and in us.

Help us to open our eyes 👀 to behold supernatural things of victory, healing and deliverance from fear, doubts, anxiety, loneliness instead of living and thinking negatively of defeated, demoralized life of pain and affliction. In Jesus....

Topic: Attitude! We Are Going To Change When Our Thoughts And Attitude Changes.

Mt 4: 17 Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

"Your Attitude and not your Aptitude will determine your Altitude"

"People may hear your words, but they feel your Attitude." If they know you do not care for them, how best you speak they will give a deaf ear. Bcoz they already know your Attitude.

Few more quotes:

"Attitude is my signature."

"Born to express, not to impress."

"People often want to show what's wrong with you because they can't handle what's right with you." ☹️

"Positive attitude can change the way you see the world and the way others see you."

What is a Christian attitude?
God's Word helps us to navigate life on earth, and show His love to the world. By, focusing our thoughts on what is good, trusting in God, embracing peace, nurturing a cheerful heart, finding joy and sunshine in each day.

Speak Life into your life everyday saying, -
I have a purpose;

I am a masterpiece;

I'm wonderfully made;

God has a great and blessed plan for me..

We are not going to change until our thoughts and attitude change. This is why a daily quiet time is important. The time we spend intentionally, sincerely with a longing desire studying God’s Word and in conversation with him through prayer is the spiritual renewal in our mind. We have to get to know God so we know what he expects from us and desires for us.

Repent means “change of mind” towards godliness and forsaking worldliness, filthiness, and the works of flesh.This is the best godly attitude. It makes our lives move away from barreness and witheredness to fruit bearing and being fresh in spirit and green in life.

The word “repent” is actually a Greek word: metanoia. Metanoia means to change your mind—
to turn from death to life,
sin to forgiveness,
guilt to peace of mind,
hell to heaven.

You turn from “my way” to God’s way.... The most positive change in our life will be when we repent of our sin and turn from regret to forgiveness and peace of mind.

We have to learn to think in new ways about our defects and flaws. That’s a new way of thinking.

You probably never thought of that, but that’s repentance! That’s a change of mind.

We have to change the way we think so we can make the most of our strengths instead. To do that, we “must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had” Can read Philippians 2:5.

God wants us to learn to think like Jesus. How do we do that? Again, it’s a choice. We got to make a choice and say, “Lord, how would Jesus think about this?” The more we fill our mind with God’s Word, the easier that’s going to be.

Help us to know Lord, in You, we are born to win, born to succeed and be fruitful and victorious in all our thought life, conversation and in our deeds.....

Topic : Smile! 😃. "One Who Smiles Rather Than Rages Is Always Stronger." - Anonymous.

Keep Smiling 😃.

Some people are the saddest people in the world by the expressions they show. Their faces tell the world to leave them alone.
"I don't want to be bothered. Leave me alone." They suffer all alone. But, as a God’s child you and I can bring that sunshine and smile in their lives.

Bible says in Prov. 15:13. A joyful heart makes a cheerful countenance. But heartache brings depression or crushes the spirit.

Numb. 6 :25-26 says, May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.

Sarah laughed in unbelief, Abraham laughed in wonder, and lastly both laugh in Joy after the birth of Isaac.

Bible says, "A cheerful heart is more than a medicine 💊, more than an antibiotic which still has side effects.

Let me share few thoughts once again on Smile, the universal language understood by all.

"When you can't find the sunshine be the sunshine."

"Your smile is the healthy dose of sunshine for others."

"Nothing shakes the smiling heart."

"Life is short. Smile while you still have teeth."

"A warm smile is the universal language of kindness." William Arthur.

"A smile is the universal welcome."

"Life is like a mirror. Smile at it and it smiles back at you." - Peace Pilgrim.

"A smile is the curve which sets everything straight." - Phyllis Diller.

Smile, it is the key of everybody's heart. - Anthony Angelo.

"One who smiles rather than rages is always stronger." - Unknown.

You want your smile to be genuine, begin the smile at home; without a smile at home, that smile doesn't become significant and it doesn't last long altogether.

"Smiles are little rays of sunshine that brighten lives."

As a child of God. Smile is an outward sign of joy, peace, appreciation, amusement, excitement and contentment to the world.

Help us Lord to show the Peace and tranquility that we have in you by expressing it outwardly with smile instead of fretting, murmuring and grumbling. ....

Topic: Moral values And Character Building..

Mt. 5:16, "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good that they may glorify your father in heaven."

If we ought to reflect the light of Christ, we need to inculcate good and healthy moral values.

Moral values are defined as "guidelines that assist a person or a growing child to adulthood in deciding between what is right and wrong in order to create honest, credible and pure healthy relationships in daily life." It's crucial for character building.

Few of the moral values for character building and reflection of light of Christ are:

Honesty, Integrity,
Respect, Honor,
Unselfishness, Sharing,
Generosity, Gratitude,
Compassion, Hard work,
Patience...

Without imbibing these moral and godly qualities individuals are destroyed, familes are destroyed due to immoral values, Organisations and churches are destroyed and even nations are destroyed.

Let us see how a strong nation was invaded inspite of taking due care, but without character building.


A true incident:
When the ancient Chinese decided to live in peace, they made the great wall of China. They thought no one could climb it due to its vast height. During the first 100 years of its existence, the Chinese were invaded thrice. And every time, the hordes of enemy infantry had no need of penetrating or climbing over the wall... because each time they bribed the guards and came through the doors.

The Chinese built the wall but forgot the character-building of the wall-guards. Thus, the building of human character comes BEFORE building of anything else in life.That is what our students and young people need today.

Help us Lord to be an example and reflector of thy light in our words, in our conversations to be healthy in purity, and in respecting and honoring elders, pastors, parents, teachers and obey authorities in Christ. In ....

Topic: Brand Ambassador: Reputed Brand Companies Pick Up Brand Ambassadors Very Carefully.

Mt. 5:13. Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth." Means, you represent as ambassador of Christ.

Reputed companies pick up brand ambassador carefully, often, a celebrity or a high profile person whose values of excellence, determination and integrity is high.

For a government, Ambassador acts as a representative of a nation; lives and works in a foreign land; and builds relationships with them them with his own country. He becomes a mediator....

Similarly person of excellence and integrity are brand ambassadors representing several brands.

Let's take the example of Sachin Tendulkar. He is a well respected person not only in India for his onfield cricketing performance and feats, but all over the globe - for his discipline, excellence of performance,
integrity, and
clean public life.

Though Tendulkar stopped playing cricket long back, still he holds the demand even today.

He represents several reputed Indian and international products as the ambassador of their company. Few of the Reputed brands he represents as an ambassador is -
BMW, Pepsi, Adidas, Appolo tyres, Jio cinema are few among many.

Just his name itself sells in the market. His very name promotes the brand.

Do you and I represent the kingdom of Christ, I excellence kingdom of love, peace and redemption?

Christians who carry the name of Christ serve as Christ's ambassador represent the King of Kings. All of these ambassadors live and work building the kingdom of God by building relationships.

Few important qualities of a Christian ambassador:

1.
Attitude: it is the important quality of a Christian ambassador.
Is he or she building the kingdom of God or doing to get something for them or from them?

2.
A good ambassador fosters and builds relationships. If we are able to first build relationships at home with every family member, next step is, he or she can build similar relationship for the kingdom of God as an ambassador. The purpose of a Christian ambassador is to build relationship in building His kingdom.

3.
A good Christian ambassador has the heart of Evangelism, without which he or she can never become a Christian ambassador.

If we go through book of Acts, we see several people have become great Ambassadors because of their qualities of right attitude, having good relationships, and heart for Evangelism. Apostle Paul, Barnabas, John Mark, Timothy, Titus, Titus, Justin, Aquila and Priscilla, Tycheus are few..

Help us Lord to have right attitude to be an ambassador and not to look for what we get if we do something. And to have the heart to build relationship so that it truly blesses the fruit of Evangelism...

Topic: Being A Role Model And An Ambassador Has To Be Everyone's Dream.

The world will not remember after we leave this world, how much rich and how wealthy we are, or regarding our success, but they will surely remember how we touched the lives of others by our day to life.

2 Corin. 5:20. "We are therfore Christ's Ambassadors...

A person who has competence and also lives his life to be Role Model for others to emulate will be remembered for long long time. In the world of Tennis, Jimmy Connors, John Mecenro, Andrew Aggasi, Peter Sampras, Roger Fedrer, Rafael Nadal, the ever graceful Chris Evert and Steffi Graf all these players have been all time great Tennis players, and most importantly, they were great Ambassadors of this sport for their clean and dignified onfield and off field life. Of course, except few players like John McEnroe who no doubt is an all time great skilful player but a bad Role model to emulate, because of his onfield tantrums and frequent outbursts on the field against referees.

Today let's have a glimpse our own Indian most popular footbal player and legend, Sunil Chetri. The iconic football ⚽️ player and captain of Indian football team for last 12 years has played his last international game on 6th June this month.

The moment was quiet poignant for the multitudes who thronged to Calcutta stadium to see Chetri donning the national colors for the last time in his glittering international career.

Emotions ran 🏃‍♀️ high in the stands too where his family and fans all over the stadium could not hold back their tears, as he walked away into the sunset.

He has played for about 19 years and last 12 years as I said, as the captain of Indian 🇮🇳 team scoring 94 international goals against 33 different countries. He started playing for India since 2005.

During his tenure Sunil Chetri's relentless pursuit has elevated Indian football standard and our team now has become a tough opponent to crack against fancied teams of Asian continent.

Most important aspect I wish to say about him is - he was not only the greatest footballer India has produced but has been an absolute Role model and exemplary with the rival international players too even in the heat of the moment.

Along with his dazling skills, he has become an heart throb of Millions of fans in India and other countries for his excellent onfield and off field conduct and his human ethical relationship with his team mates and with players of other football playing nations. He is no doubt an Ambassador for sports fraternity.

Are we a role model and Ambassador for Christ and His kingdom?

When we call ourselves God's children washed with His blood and represent Christ, we too ought to be Ambassadors for Christ being a role model.

No country will send a doubtful character as their Ambassador lest the country's image gets spoiled.

So, are we a role model? At home, office, amongst friends, relatives, in church... ? Or are we known to be controversial people always creating friction and bickerings everywhere we go?

Great Ambassadors of God's Kingdom according to my leading first comes, Daniel, then comes Joseph, Jeptha, Job, Deborah, Paul, Peter, Aquila and Priscilla are few... David though has done great feats and has bern one of the greatest kings of Israel, he cannot be called a role model.
Lord .....
