Trust in the Lord!

Praise Jesus :)

     Am glad to be back for posting :)

Have you ever promised someone but failed to do it? Yes friends..many times we give promises to people around or even to God, but fail to do it.

But I've never even once found God fail in His promises. He is an awesome God who is the same yesterday, today and forever :) Hallelujah!

     First visit the link below to know the first part of this post as this post is a continuation of another post.

     So..this was what was found in my heart. I did not have any hope that things would work out. I even thought that all my efforts were 'a total waste'..I even got the fear about what I would do if I did not get a MBA seat under TANCET! This fear crouched in my heart for many many times and days. I lost my faith and everything.

     But remember, Lord Jesus is very true in His promises. I would often share my worries with Jesus and He would always comfort me.

     3-4 days later I received my TANCET mark sheet from my neighbor. My heart sank! Oh..I'm receiving this so late? This added up my nervousness. But Lord Jesus was still with me.

     What do you think would have happened? That I received what I wanted? No..To add to my confusion and worries, I found something in the Chennai University website that a minimum of 41 marks was required for my community. But I had only 20.4!    

     Ha ha..! Friends..you should know one thing- I did not read the information properly. It was not for all candidates. For a few days I totally dropped out my plans or I should say God's plans and sat hopeless.    

     So finally when I knew that I was wrong, I regained my hope a little and used to look at my Portico to see if among the mail letters, there was it that I expected. It would all turn me into disappointment. We used to get all kinds of mails except for my acknowledgment card.

     One fine afternoon, among the mails, there was it. A small little white card. I quickly ran towards it and found the first step to my joy. Yes..it was the acknowledgment card I had been expecting. Thank you Jesus :)

     Do you think I would stop just by receiving a card. No! 

     So everyday I would visit the university website to see if there was anything regarding this. So one day I found my overall rank list. Oh my Jesus :) I was happy to know that. Also my rank wasn't bad after all.

     After many days, today morning I have received the counseling call-letter!

     I thanked Jesus with all of my heart! I will be thankful to Jesus :)

Now friends..when you read all of these, its like I'm stretching out an elastic band as far as I could :-D but I'm doing this only so that you, who is reading this, will understand that God is true in His promises.

      Maybe I sometimes think that it was a test for my faith. Yes..even I have sometimes come to a point that maybe it was my own idea or maybe I misunderstood things for God's voice. But my Jesus has been with me.

     You should also know one thing- I took up this efforts only because Jesus asked me to. When Jesus told me clearly," My will for you now is that you do MBA", I told Jesus,"Jesus! I'll do MBA only through TANCET. If I'm through it, I'll pursue MBA else I will not because I'm not interested in spending unnecessarily for my studies any more." Just as I told God, He has led me.

     When I took the counseling call-letter in my hands today morning, I thanked Jesus and prayed,"God..I should study in the institution that you want me to study in..and I should take up a program that you want me to take."

     The God who led me through this counseling process..will also lead me throughout! Jesus is true in His words and promises..Amen! Thank you Loving Jesus..

     Hope you will also believe in God's promises in your life. Amen!

Complete blessing?

     God blesses us in many ways. We love to get the blessings of God. But friends, remember one thing which is very true...

If you want to get the complete blessing from Our generous Lord Jesus in your life, then you must do something.

     That is 

'Obedience to the word of God'

How do we know what God wants from us?

     Its simple. The word of God is already in our hands! Confused?

     Bible is the 'word of God'. Read the word, meditate on the word and God will speak with you. Now start obeying His word as it is. That's it! 

               

     On Thursday i.e., 21.07.2011, I planned to collect few materials from college (mark sheets, provisional and Transfer certificate). God clearly instructed me the things that I should do. He clearly defined to me the purpose and the things I had to do and also the things that I shouldn’t do.

     Friends, God knows what would happen ahead of time in any situation. So, when we want to do things by the perfect will of God, He instructs us what exactly we must do and also warns us of the things we ought not to do.

                So..this was what happened with me. God instructed me and warned me. Friends, you should also know one thing. I prayed several times for the Thursday plan to God because I feared I would go astray from His will.

                And when I was finally in my institution, the Holy Spirit of God told me what I must do then. But I gave way for my flesh to overrule i.e., I did things that pleased me…I did things according to my will. So, I couldn’t do what God instructed me to. I had to deliver a message that God had for my prayer team. But I lost time to do it. I felt a wave of guilt pass over me from that second. I confessed my disobedience to God and I was deeply troubled.

                You know what happened? When I was finally to get my materials, there it was! An error! An error in my Transfer certificate. Ah! God allowed an error in my Certificate and made me go again to my institution to deliver the message that God had for my prayer team.

                I never frowned that I had to travel again. In fact, I was happy that God gave me a chance to go back. I thank God! If it had not been for that error, I would have not gone back. God’s ways are indeed so amazing and wonderful!! Praise you Jesus..

                Friends..obedience to God is very important. Just think..how much longer will God be patient.

What does Bible say about obedience?

In the book of John 14 : 23 – 24 NIV

'Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.'

 'He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.'


Lord Jesus was successful in all that He did. Just read the first four books of the New Testament in 'The Holy Bible' (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John). So what was the secret behind?

In the book of Hebrew 5 : 8 – 9 NIV

'Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered'

'and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.'    

Even Lord Jesus Christ obeyed His father in heaven and His parents on Earth while He was still in this world. So why not you? 

Now my dear friends..take a look at the picture in this post..
        Let your adventure begin!!
