"How many loaves have you? Go and see." ...

Praise Lord and Glory to Him Always..

Mark 6:34-44 says,

As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. 35 When it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now very late; 36 send them away so that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy something for themselves to eat.” 37 But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” They said to him, “Are we to go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?” 38 And he said to them, “How many loaves have you? Go and see.” When they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.” 39 Then he ordered them to get all the people to sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and of fifties. 41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all. 42 And all ate and were filled; 43 and they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. 44 Those who had eaten the loaves numbered five thousand men.

While reading through this scripture passage the Holy Spirit revealed a message from the Lord Almighty: The essence of Evangelisation is in us, fetch it from with in us, submit to lord and he shall multiply it for us and give us to distribute to the multitudes that are thirsty for a shepherd's protection and were like sheep without a shepherd

Evangelisation is a consequence and not a program. It must start within us. This is what Our Lord shows us through this story. When the disciples find that the crowd is tired and hungry, they search for an easy way to feed them. They ask Jesus to send them to nearby towns to find food by themselves,when Jesus said “You give them something to eat" and then the disciples said that they will themselves go to another towns and buy food and come. But Jesus replies in an amazing way“How many loaves have you? Go and see." He asks to find out what do they have within themselves. This is when the disciples put effort to search and find out what is there within among themselves. The disciples submitted what they got,(even though it was very little compared to the crowd to provide them), to Jesus. Jesus asked the disciples to " get all the people to sit down in groups on the green grass".

After the crowd was put in order, Jesus took the few what the disciples had submitted and " he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all. And all ate and were filled". This is Evangelisation.

No matter how little we have within ourselves, without pondering over the little we have,or how weak it is or how less it is, do not worry about that little, instead set Hope on the God who can multiply. He gives us multiplied to distribute to all His children who are hungry and thirsty for Lords love. We often give up in our efforts or find easy ways to fill the hunger of ourselves or of our friends who are in a lost state or in some kind of emptiness or is approaching us for help. But through this story Lord asks to search and put effort to find out what is available in you. As you find them out, submit it to the Lord who is able to make abundance from the little you submit unto Him. And then He shall give them into your hands to distribute to thousands...

There is a duty for each one of us who are called in Jesus name to be the Children of God the Father. He has given us many gifts and talents. This could be unveiled only if we put effort and obey through Lord direction and help. Once it is revealed submit it to Lord who will multiply and give to you. This is multiplied and given to you as blessings to feed the sheep, His children who is in need and who is in front of you and whom you meet day by day.

" Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.(1 Peter 4:10). " This service springs out from our hearts only if we hear Lords voice saying "“Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16 A second time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Tend my sheep.” 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” And he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.(John 21:15-17)"

Instead of Simon's name let us put our name and read this verses.

Because Lord has said "Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God; for God is love.(1John 4:7-8)"

Prayer

Thank you lord for this beautiful message that you revealed to us. Help us to hear your voice and put effort to find out the gifts that you have given us, the bread that you have fed us with..lead us to make a perfect submission, no matter how weak we are or how little we have, unto your altar. Bless it lord, purify it and multiply it. Give us wisdom to understand the purpose of blessing us and to share you love and blessings with those whom you show us ,all in glory of Your name"
Amen.

 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.(Colossians 3:17)

Be Confident on God more than Ourselves.

Our Lord knows us more than we know ourselves..Amen
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,and before you were born I consecrated you;(Jeremiah 1:5)
For it was you who formed my inward parts;    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.(Psalms 139:13-14)
My frame was not hidden from you,when I was being made in secret,    intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes beheld my unformed substance.In your book were written    all the days that were formed for me,    when none of them as yet existed.-(Psalms 139:15-16)

And God,who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. -Romans 8:27-28

O Lord, you have searched me and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;  you discern my thoughts from far away.
You search out my path and my lying down,    and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue,    O Lord, you know it completely. You hem me in, behind and before,    and lay your hand upon me.(Psalms 139:1-5)

Our Lord always is watching over us. He is pained when we go away, because He cant do nothing unless WE decide to have Him in us. But He stands like a helpless father seeing His kid going to danger. He never compels us but wants us wholesomely .
No matter how far we went from Lord because of our own selfish sinful life..Our Lord is waiting for us to return. The moment we get the realization that we are far from Lord or the way we are is not right- YES this is the time our Lord is waiting eagerly for us to run back to Him. 

He has opened us the way to salvation- JESUS CHRIST, we simply just want to run back..realizing the bondage's that took us away from His love.. focusing on JESUS and believing in the way of salvation. 

EVen if we feel so bad about our ways and even if we loose our hope--our Lord says 'I AM WITH YOU  and  I HAVE COME NOT TO CONDEMN THE WORLD BUT TO GIVE LIFE ABUNDANTLY"

 But law came in, with the result that the trespass multiplied; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,  so that, just as sin exercised dominion in death, so grace might also exercise dominion through justification leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.-Romans 5:20-21

 Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,-Acts 3:19

Lets be honest to our Creator who is calling us back for the eternal joy. Let us seek his help to overcome all the temptations that fails us to get His love. let us thirst for the filling of the Holy Spirit who helps us to tide over and take decisions in accordance to Gods wish. Let us not pain Him anymore. Let us hear the voice of Lord through this Spirit and be able to crucify all our worldly passions to the cross of Jesus.

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.- Galatians 2:20

 But the Advocate,the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you.-John 14:26

For those who put trust on Lord will never be put to shame but their face will be radiant in Lords light.
Look to him, and be radiant;
    so your  faces shall never be ashamed.
6 This poor soul cried, and was heard by the Lord,
    and was saved from every trouble.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps
    around those who fear him, and delivers them -Psalms 34:5-7

Keep your tongue from evil,
    and your lips from speaking deceit.
14 Depart from evil, and do good;
    seek peace, and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
    and his ears are open to their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against evildoers,
    to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears,
    and rescues them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted,
    and saves the crushed in spirit.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
    but the Lord rescues them from them all.
20 He keeps all their bones;
    not one of them will be broken.
21 Evil brings death to the wicked,
    and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord redeems the life of his servants;
    none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.-Psalms 34:13-22

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.- John 1:1-5

Even if we are feeling lifeless due to our life or lost- take out the word of God which is our life, read it and use it and meditate it- it is our life ,our medicine, our hope and the voice of Lord. It speaks to us every time we read it- the living word. it has answers that God gives us, direction that god shows us and plans that God prepares us for. This is our daily bread. 

How can young people keep their way pure?
    By guarding it according to your word.
10 With my whole heart I seek you;
    do not let me stray from your commandments.
11 I treasure your word in my heart,
    so that I may not sin against you.
12 Blessed are you, O Lord;
    teach me your statutes.
13 With my lips I declare
    all the ordinances of your mouth.
14 I delight in the way of your decrees
    as much as in all riches.
15 I will meditate on your precepts,
    and fix my eyes on your ways.
16 I will delight in your statutes;
    I will not forget your word.

17 Deal bountifully with your servant,
    so that I may live and observe your word-Psalms 119:9-17

God who created all things;  so that through the church the wisdom of God in its rich variety might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.  This was in accordance with the eternal purpose that he has carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,  in whom we have access to God in boldness and confidence through faith in him. I pray therefore that you[f] may not lose heart over my sufferings for you; they are your glory.

 Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.(Ephesians 3:1-21)

Can a woman forget her nursing child,
    or show no compassion for the child of her womb?
Even these may forget,
    yet I will not forget you.See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands,.- Isaiah 49:15-16

"YOU ARE MINE"- says the LORD. 

Praise Lord.

Are we Blessed?

Matthew 5:3-11- The Beatitudes

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5 “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.

8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 “Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

The above verses, the word of the lord, are the essence of our life. 

How do we define 'Blessed'? Good health, good job, happy children, a well settled life. But these blessings disappear with days. So what is a blessing?

In the criteria of our Lord, who are blessed? Let us reflect.

Are we blessed?

Let us submit ourselves to be blessed by the Lord, To be Blessed in everlasting satisfaction.

Praise and thanks to Lord

Amen.

Love the Creator and not the Creations

 Readings

Wisdom of Solomon 13:1-9,Luke 17:26-37,Psalm 19:2-5

For all men who were ignorant of God were foolish by nature; and they were unable from the good things that are seen to know him who exists, nor did they recognize the craftsman while paying heed to his works;if men were amazed at their power and working, let them perceive from them how much more powerful is he who formed.For as they live among his works they keep searching, and they trust in what they see, because the things that are seen are beautiful.Yet again, not even they are to be excused;for if they had the power to know so much that they could investigate the world, how did they fail to find sooner the Lord of these things.
As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of man.They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.so will it be on the day when the Son of man is revealed

Let's not get carried away by the creations,so as to forget our creator. Instead,let's accept the creations thankfully from Lord and use it to lead us to the everlasting truth ,Our Lord,who through thy amazing grace showed us the way of salvation, Jesus. Let glorify His name with all the creations of this world.

Whoever seeks to gain his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

Ever since the creation of the world his eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things he has made. So they are without excuse; for though they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their senseless minds were darkened.  Claiming to be wise, they became fools;  and they exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling a mortal human being or birds or four-footed animals or reptiles.

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves,  because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.Romans 1:20-25

Prayer

Lord help us experience your care love grace and mercy through all blessings that you give us. You give us freely out of love ,help us to share it without selfishness to others and spread your love. Help us to see you,acknowledge you and walk to you through all the creations around us and be ready to receive you when you come. Let us love and live for the Creator...

Amen

Immerse in Gods Love....

This is a dream that changed my life....

I was sleeping near my beloved,in the most restful peaceful place. My beloved,who symbolizes the perfection of love. My father,my mother, my husband,my kid-all in one.  Suddenly a voice is heard from the toilet behind. Sounds of people arise. I hear them saying," thief thief,he has broken into your house". But my beloved said"stay close to me,don't get up and go to look,it's nothing to fear". This time I laid down. Again I heard the voice, this time I couldn't resist and I went off to look. All I saw was a mice. But the moment mice saw me,it started following me ,chasing me to bite me. This made me run away out of the house were my beloved is and made me run far away from him. The mice chased  me to bite. After running for a while, suddenly I stopped. Something forced me to turn to the mice and say, 'with the sign of the holy cross, save us from evil,dear lord' and I did the sign of cross in front of the mice. From then on the mice started moving away and got thrown to side.
I realized,I am delivered. From then on, I begin to experience love. Love filling in my heart. This made me free, I began to dance and sing and hop and walk. While going on the way like this,I saw my friends,I hugged them and kissed them. I saw people that even dint liked to see, but I was seen hugging them and kissing them too..there was no discrimination but just love. I was singing "Kuroshil ninnum paanjozhugeedunna daivasnehathin van krupayal.. Ozhugi ozhugi adiyanil nirayenamey sneha sagaramai...it's a beautiful song meaning "the grace of love of god that flows from the cross flowed and flowed into me as a sea of love". This was my dream

When I got up I was crying...I was in sea of lords love...it flowed bubbled and showered . I began to thank god for making me experience the freedom in his love and its anesthetic effect. Then God prompted me in prayer to send a message "God loves you so much..say I love you Lord" to everyone in my whatsapp list personally. I did it. The response was still great as when Fulton j sheen said "God is love" many years ago that made lot many souls to repent. 

Some couldn't believe message was for them, some replied it was the right message the right time, some said I really needed it more,some said yes lord I love you. But definitely this unique love for each must have strikes each one.. Because Lord says even now to you....

GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH....say I LOVE YOU LORD... 

From this day on...I am not able to go far from my Lord...it's hard for me to compromise this love for any love of mine...because This love Is perfect Satisfaction...flowing more and more forever...and once it gets filling us, let it flow to others...make others say I love you lord...then we will find we are immersing in his love...sharing gods love proliferates love in us through more love flowing from above.

Amen praise lord.
