Devotional - Throne of Glory (inheritance) 2008-11-07 16:12:28 "He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the beggar from the ash-heap, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory."2Sa_2:8A man can never reach heaven unless he travels heavenwards, Zionwards, in the way that God has marked out for his people to walk in. It is a delusion to think that we are going to heaven unless we know something of divine teaching in the Read more:Throne
Devotional - Moses Keeping the Passover, by Faith 2008-11-07 16:07:40 Image via WikipediaBy faith he kept the Passover
and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them. (Heb_11:28)When Moses boldly led Israel out of Egypt, his fearlessness was based upon his faith in the true and living God. "By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible" (Heb_11:28). His confidence in t Read more:Faith
Devotional - Rahab, the Harlot, Rescued, by Faith 2008-11-07 16:01:50 By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace. (Heb_11:31)God delivered the fortress of Jericho into the hands of His people, as the walls fell down, by faith. "By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days" (Heb_11:30). This evil city of abominations was then destroyed, as the holy Lord God h Read more:Faith
Devotional - Cleansed by the Word 2008-11-07 15:57:41 “ Already Ye Are Clean Because of the Word I Have Spoken Unto You ” - Joh_15:3What is the pruning knife of this heavenly Husbandman? It is often said to be affliction. By no means in the first place. How would it then fare with many who have long seasons free from adversity; or with some on whom God appears to shower down kindness all their life long? No; it is the Word of God that is the knif
Devotional - Graven upon His palms 2008-11-07 15:51:45 “Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms
of my hands.”- Isa_49:16No doubt a part of the wonder which is concentrated in the word “Behold,” is excited by the unbelieving lamentation of the preceding sentence. Zion said, “The Lord hath forsaken me, and my God hath forgotten me.” How amazed the divine mind seems to be at this wicked unbelief! What can be more astounding than the unfound
Filled with the Spirit - Eph. 5:18 2008-11-07 15:19:47 High time many folks out there started revamping their christian websites !! After all, there are so many souls thirsting for the living waters !! Praise the Lord. I too have gone through a dryness phase (which believer hasn't ?!) ... The key is to get back into the armour!Note: This is a blog meant only to be a daily meditation on the word. I am glad you chose to receive it on a daily basis. Feel
Devotional - Cross the sea - BY FAITH 2008-11-05 14:44:28 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned. (Heb_11:29)By faith, Moses called God's people to apply the blood of the Passover lamb that they might be delivered from the judgment that was to befall Egypt. "By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them" (Heb_11: Read more:Cross
Devotional - Free from condemnation - Salvation 2008-11-05 14:43:26 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." Joh_5:24Let us consider what this condition does not imply. It does not include deliverance from the indwelling of sin, nor exemption from Divine correction, nor the absence of self-accusation; still less does it Read more:Salvation
Devotional - bless His holy name 2008-11-05 14:42:04 “Be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”- Psa_100:4Our Lord would have all his people rich in high and happy thoughts concerning his blessed person. Jesus is not content that his brethren should think meanly of him; it is his pleasure that his espoused ones should be delighted with his beauty. We are not to regard him as a bare necessary, like to bread and water, but as a luxurious delicacy

God bless!Note: This is a blog meant only to be a daily meditation on the word. I am glad you chose to receive it on a daily basis. Feel free to distribute the content.

Devotional - Kind and tender heart 2008-10-30 15:53:22 A devotional from MorrisonBe ye kind one to another, tenderhearted— Eph_4:32The first thing to impress me as I read these words is the change which had been wrought in the apostle. There had been a day, not so far away, when you would scarce have expected such a word from Paul. When Paul first appears on the scene, he seems the incarnation of hardheartedness. He is a Pharisee, cruel and intolera
Devotional - Run With Patience 2008-10-30 15:49:12 Run With Patience "Let us run with patience" (Heb. 12:1). O run with patience is a very difficult thing. Running is apt to suggest the absence of patience, the eagerness to reach the goal. We commonly associate patience with lying down. We think of it as the angel that guards the couch of the invalid. Yet, I do not think the invalid's patience the hardest to achieve. There is a patience which I
Devotional - Chosen to go and bear fruit 2008-10-29 00:55:33 “ Ye Did Not Choose Me, But I Chose You, and Appointed You That Ye Should Go and Bear Fruit ” - Joh_15:16The branch does not choose the vine, or decide on which vine it will grow. The vine brings forth the branch, as and where it will. Even so Christ says: “Ye did not choose me, but I chose you.” But some will say is not just this the difference between the branch in the natural and in th
Devotional - On the wonderful Salvation 2008-10-28 08:45:36 "For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ." 1Th_5:9[A beautiful spirit filled devotional from Octavius Winslow]Salvation
is God's greatest work; in nothing has He so manifested forth His glory as in this. He embarked all His infinite resources, and staked all His Divine honor, in the accomplishment of this work so dear to His heart-the salvation of Hi
Devotional - Faith 2008-10-21 15:23:12 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. (Heb_11:1-3)In order to live by grace, we must be willing to walk by faith. For those who actually depend upon the Lord d Read more:Faith
Devotional - Security of Salvation through Faith 2008-10-19 15:18:16 An inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. (1Pe_1:4-5)In our previous biblical meditation, we considered the delightful work of God's grace that brings to His children assurance of salvation through faith. "These things I have written to you Read more:Faith

Devotional - When God delays His response 2008-10-19 15:16:43 "Know of a surety that thy seed shall be sojourners in a land that is not theirs; . . . they shall afflict them four hundred years; . . . and afterward they shall come out with great substance" (Gen. 15:12-14). An assured part of God's pledged blessing to us is delay and suffering. A delay in Abram's own lifetime that seemed to put God's pledge beyond fulfillment was followed by seemingly unendur Read more:When God
Devotional - God's word guiding the way 2008-10-19 15:06:31 "The ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them" (Num. 10:33). God does give us impressions, but not that we should act on them as impressions. If the impression be from God, He will Himself give sufficient evidence to establish it beyond the possibility of a doubt. How beautiful is the story of Jeremiah, of the impression that came to him respecting the purchase of the field of Anathoth.
Devotional - The Grace of a happy heart 2008-10-19 15:01:07 I would have you without carefulness — 1Co_7:32 Cast thy burden upon the Lord — Psa_55:22There are few graces which the world admires so much as the grace of a cheerful heart. There is a certain perennial attraction in men and women who bear their burdens well. When we see a face all lined with care it often touches the chord of pity in us. We are moved to compassion when it flashes on us what Read more:Grace
Devotional - Our duty to fellow believers - to support 2008-10-19 14:56:06 October 19"The Lord God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary." Isaiah 50:4 THE Lord Jesus gives His people the tongue of the learned, the they may sometimes speak a word in season to His weary ones. Have you not a word for Christ? May you not go to that tried believer in sickness, in poverty, in adversity, or in prison, and Read more:fellow
Devotional - Christian disciples 2008-10-18 18:06:34 Prior to posting this devotional, I got the hint for the topic from a christian devotional contrasting the ways of the disciples when they were with Jesus (without experiencing the holy spirit) and after the pentecostal experience. (What a contrast - the disciples hardly understood anything in the spiritual sense - their spirits were dull - Peter denied the lord and warmed his flesh. And contrast Read more:Christian
Devotional - Bearing much fruit - with the Holy Spirit 2008-10-12 15:01:12 “ He That Abideth in Me, and I in Him, the Same Bringeth Forth Much Fruit ” - Joh_15:5Our Lord had spoken of fruit, more fruit. He now adds the thought: much fruit. There is in the Vine such fullness, the care of the divine Husbandman is so sure of success, that the much fruit is not a demand, but the simple promise of what must come to the branch that lives in the double abiding—he in Chri
Devotional - Light of life from Jesus 2008-10-12 14:25:53 "Then Jesus
spoke again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." Joh_8:12Are you, my reader, a searcher of this life? Are you breathing for it, panting after it, seeking it? Then be it known to you, that He who inspired that desire is Himself the life for which you seek. That heaving of your heart, that yearni
Devotional - The best intercessor - Jesus 2008-10-12 14:24:06 "And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus
Christ the righteous." 1 John 2:1 WE are used to read in the Bible of one Intercessor, and of one advocacy. But the believer has two courts with which prayer has to do. In the court below, where prayer is offered, the Spirit is his Intercessor. In the court above, where prayer is presented, Jesus is his Intercessor. Then, what an hon
Thanks! 2008-11-26 15:37:54 The world celebrates thanksgiving soon... More than anything, I want to quietly thank some that I can think of. My family - Appa, Amma, Merin, Mathew - you are God's gift to me. Thanks
for everything you have done for me. More than anything, thanks for being there :) Praise the lord for you. My friends - To the handful who have been close , given advice or a sympathetic ear when I needed it. Th
Getting back from christian doldrums 2008-11-24 16:07:21 It is very easy for the enemy to sow seeds of negativity in our christian minds. Especially when you are away from all the emotional support that you may get from your fellow christians. One of the reasons why I value fellowship so much (since it is a God-given channel for the promptings of the Holy spirit). A couple of verses that I got today as I was feeling a bit blue myself. Psa 77:9-11 :
Devotional - Divine victory 2008-11-24 15:24:25 A beautiful devotional : yet another reason to praise the Lord! "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven."Luk_10:18 It deserves our utmost attention and prayerful consideration to see, by the eye of faith, the display of wisdom and power shining forth in the way in which the all-wise God sent his dear Son"to destroy"or, as the word is in the original, to unloose"the w Read more:Divine
Devotional - Divine Chastening (Correction) 2008-11-23 12:01:54 "Blessed is the man whom you chasten, O Lord; the man you teach out of your law."Psa_94:12 We may observe in the words before us, that the Lord puts chastening before teaching. Is there not something remarkable in this? Why should chastening precede teaching? For this reason. We have no ear to hear except so far as we are chastened. It was so with the prodigal. Until he was brought to his right m Read more:Divine
Devotional - Abide in His love 2008-11-20 14:38:03 “ Even as the Father Hath Loved Me, I Also Have Loved you ” - Joh_15:9Abide in My love—We speak of a man’s home as his abode. Our abode, the home of our soul, is to be the love of Christ. We are to live our life there, to be at home there all the day: this is what Christ means our life to be, and really can make it. Our continuous abiding in the Vine is to be an abiding in His love. You
