Proverbs 25 vs 2’ ‘It is the glory of God you conceal a thing but the honour of kings is to search out amatter.”

Bible was written by 40 authors over 1500 years. There are 66 books in the bible. The old Testament was written in Hebrew and the new Testament was written in greek.
The bible is God’s  revelation to us and inspired by the Holy spirit.
Bible interprets itself and the Holy Spirit reveals the Word.
The first book of the bible starts with the creation story all of us are familiar with.
The first man and woman disobey God ,tempted by the serpent.
As the serpent tells  Eve, ‘For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof then your eyes shall be opened, and you will be as gods knowing good and evil.’
Two major things happen at that time. 
Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit which gives them the knowledge of good and evil.
They can now play God and that is the root of all the problems in the world that we continue to face.
Another very important thing happens. Genesis chapter 3  verse 24 says,’ so he drove out the man and placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way ,to keep the way of the tree of life.’
The reason he does it is mentioned in verse 22 of the same chapter.
This eternal life that man was supposed to inherit was lost when  Adam and Eve disobeyed God.
Death entered our lives.
Did God forsake them?
Old Testament is the journey of God‘s people through different ups and downs of life in different situations, ever moving forward towards the promised land and the everlasting hope of the coming messiah that has been promised to them ,(through their  prophets), who would bring about the restoration.
God appointed the leaders to lead them on,prophets through whom he spoke to them in the wilderness.
There were 44 prophecies pointing to the coming messiah through their prophets at different times and parts of their journey.

As one of the speakers so eloquently put it, ‘Hopes and fears of many years culminated in the birth of Lord Jesus.’
The timespan of the old Testament is over 1500 years and then there was a gap of almost 400 years before the birth of the Messiah.
As John 3vs16 says,’For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son ,that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.’

Image of Christ.

 There is nothing more scarier than a heart that has hardened .I was talking to Mary the other day,infact weeping with her There is a deep restlessnessness inside.Thank God for it becuase it shows that I have not resigned myself to the way things are.I was telling her I miss the deep experience of seeing the image of Christ and the compassion of the Holy spirit which just used to overwhelm  my heart when I saw the image of Christ in people ,situation and the creation. What is the image of Christ?It is a body marred and maimed to bear the sin of the world.it is a voice that did not speak in protest against God the father,who actually planned it all before the creation of the world,not against the people who maimed Him ,flogged Him,drove the nails into His hands and feet to satisfy their sinful nature.The image of Christ is a body broken  to the utmost yet given to feed the very same people .It is a love that did not count the cost. I am a person who does not put too much v...

Feet in the water.

  Fifteen days of earned leave after working for two years,I was praying in a house group prayer and worship and pleading with the Lord to show me something ,when it was not forthcoming I surrendered to the Lord and prayed let your will be done and then I saw the Lord walking up a winding road and deep in my spirit I knew He was calling me to follow Him .I did not know where to but I thanked the Lord and said yes. I have been living more in the unseen world than the seen world. Suddenly out of the blue I received a message from Dr Arpit asking me to replace them in Madhipura  for a  fortnight. I needed to go because things were getting a little intense and I needed sometime to step back and mull some things over. I had no idea why the Lord was taking me back to the old world of EHA , mission hospitals and friends from the yore. Travelling to Madhipura , I  continnued to ask the Lord, 'Why this road? I had no idea why I was going  where I was going.I am glad I ca...

Thankyou Lord for the year that was.

 It has been sometime since I have blogged. I don't even remember how the whole of last year passed. While sitting for the prayer meeting with the ladies I suddenly realised that the last year I had broken so many barriers. Things I had cried to the Lord in prayer had come to pass quietly but surely. It has not been without drama but it was through sheer resolve and daily consecratiom  I walked the steps I never thought I could. I learnt to drive for one and then towards the last week had the distinction of breaking the panes of the car while backing. It hit the wall. Thank-fully no one was hurt. My wonderful family just said ,'It Happens'. This year I adopted a male pig and a female pig .I sold the last year's pig for fourteen grands and five hundred.I  brought some brick to try and build an apartment but since the leading from the Lord was not to invest I invested the money in my eternal home I thank God for that. Towards the year end I got the privellage to help Kanc...
