Joy, Patience and Faithfulness

Victory comes from the Lord.

Jesus said, "In this world you will have tribulations; be cheerful; I have overcome the world!"

Manna for the day:

Be joyful in hope,
patient in affliction,
faithful in prayer.
-Rom 12:2

1. Affliction

• Affliction through people


• Affliction through the enemy


• Affliction in the flesh


• Affliction in the heavenlies


• Affliction in our daily natural work


• Affliction through the environment


• Affliction at night times

God says "BE PATIENT". Do not sin. Do not leave the Cross. Instead draw closer to Him.

2. Hope

• Blessing in the Spirit


• Blessing in the Soul


• Blessing in the Body


• Blessing in the Land

Be joyful, Rejoice in the Lord!
Give thanks; Its due to Him!!!
Its from Him

3. Prayer

• Early morning prayer


• Praying in the Spirit


• Prayer for the Fresh anointing


• Prayer without cease


• Prayer at trials and temptations

Be faithful, consistent and persistent.
Dont give up and Dont give in!
Dont live on yesterdays glory!!

Immanuel!!!

Love, Anger and Rejection

"Love does not anger quickly..." 1Cor13:4

Cain and Abel
Cain was a person who angered against his brother Abel, that lead him to kill Abel.


"Do not lead your anger to cause sin, Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry", says the Word of God.

So anger causes you to sin. It causes you to fall.

Anger and rejection
Most of the times these two go together.

When Cain's sacrifice was rejected by God, He got angry with Abel
When Saul was rejected by his subjects, He got angry with David
When Joseph's brothers were rejected by Jacob, They got angry with Joseph

When our prayers are not answered (rejected), we get angry with God.

Love does not anger
Think upon the love of God. Meditate on it. Your anger will disappear. You will have no opportunity to sin. Take a dose of humility when you get angry!

Let Us Make Thanksgiving a Lifestyle

On this day in the United States we celebrate a special holiday called Thanksgiving. As Americans, we set aside a special Thursday in November each year to give thanks to God for His abundant blessings.

Thanksgiving Day is an observance that was begun well over two hundred years ago by settlers in a New World to honor God for His provision and protection. They were so thankful to be alive. The hardships were unbelievable, and even after the initial harvest, it took years for conditions to improve. And yet, in the midst of conditions that we could not even begin to comprehend, they gave thanks to their Heavenly Father.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. (Philippians 4:6)

It is very clear throughout the Word that the Giving of Thanks is to be a lifestyle for the one who trusts in God and is called by His Name. Please take a moment to read and ponder the following Scriptures.

Daniel Gave Thanks to God three times a day
Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. (Daniel 6:10)

Jesus Gave Thanks
And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. (John 6:11-12)

Those who were healed and touched of the Lord Gave Thanks
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. (Luke 17:15-16)

Those who received salvation Gave Thanks
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: (Colossians 1:12-13)

It is the will of God for us to Give Thanks
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. (1 Thessalonians 5:18-24)

In Timothy we are exhorted that the Giving of Thanks ought to be one of the first things we do.

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; (1Timothy 2:1-3)

In Hebrews we find that the Giving of Thanks as an offering and sacrifice.

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. (Hebrews 13:15)

The Sound of "Thanks" Fills Heaven
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. (Revelation 11:16-17)

Today we would like to ask you to take time right now to say,

"Thank You, Lord."

We all have needs or requests that we can make. Let’s take a moment to reflect on what you have that you can be thankful unto to God for.

Are there things in your family, finances, health, salvation, job, home, friends, schooling, community, nation and church that you can be thankful for?

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: (Psalm 92:1)

Saints, Let Praise and Thanksgiving pour forth from your heart!

Life @ Wipro

Well, Its been a few days here.

Brand Wipro does all the hype. Yet its a place where you can get security, job satisfaction and get settled...if you like to!

The war for the do$$ar
People fight for the $ , they jump every now and then for more, more and more!!!

According to me, money is always secondary. Respect, Satisfying Work, and then a brand like Wipro, with some standard package is more sufficient for the long run.

Values
Stay in a place for quite a long time, make yourself useful to others and your company. Meanwhile enjoy your stay. Wipro is a great place to work!

Integrity
One of the things I like about Wipro is its Unyielding Integrity. I appreciate its care to recruit genuine lateral joinees. In Wipro, A genuine is never at the mercy of a fake.

finally,
The Blessings of the Lord add riches, and he adds no sorrows to it!

Its like saying, "Blessings!! No Sorrows Attached!!!"

All glory to Jesus!

New Waters

I am going to tell you two stories here. One is about fishing and another is about a fish. First lets start with Fishing.

A Fisherman lived by a lake of water. Everyday he caught fishes, and lived happily by selling them and making revenue. One day the lake dried up and all the fishes died. So the fisherman moved to another place, this time an Ocean to catch fishes. Not everyday he can catch fishes there, but he can catch a lot of them now. I am done with my first story.

The second one: A boy who was very fond of pets bought a small Gold Fish with his savings. Then he needed a glass bowl to let the Gold Fish in. He ran to his kitchen and asked his mummy for one. His mom gave one glass jar once used for storing cookies. He filled them with water and let the Gold Fish in. He fed her properly and soon the fish grew up to his delight. Now the fish was unable to move freely inside the jar. Because of its grown up size, it could remain only in a static position. On seeing this the boy got troubled in his mind. He took all his savings went to a pet shop, and bought a big fish tank. He filled it with water, and let the fish inside. The fish swam now gracefully inside the new waters!

Disclaimer: I'm not boasting or proud!
