The righteous will live by faith

The righteous will live by faith - Ro. 1:17.

It took me much time understand this wonderful scripture. At first I didn’t know how to live by faith.

When a man’s efforts have gone in vain, he comes to God and depend on God. He says, “God, I’m worn out. I did everything that I can, but no use, I failed. Now you are my only hope. Help me.”

Though he prays like that, he doesn’t believe in his heart that God helps him. He just cast his worries on God and leave it to him, whether he helps him or not.

In the mean time he says to his close friends, “I’m just living as I don’t like to die.”

This is condition of little faith believer. It’s not the right way a believer live. From the beginning, every believer must depend on God for everything.

For instance, I need money, I pray to God like this:

God, I need money. I believe you bestow me. I do believe you can help me in my need.

This is the way to live by faith. Whatever we need, even a tooth paste, you must take it to the lord and believe he helps us.

The woman, who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, thought, ‘If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.’ And she got the result she had believed.

Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering. - Mk. 5:28.

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”  “Yes, Lord,” they replied.   Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you”; and their sight was restored. - Mt. 9:27- 30.

We need such a faith to get things done. We must believe God helps in everything.

Jesus said, “Everything is possible for him who believes.” - Mk. 9:23.

Therefore, live by faith by depending on God for your every need.

Eden Located in Turkey

There are many hints in the Bible to confirm that Eden located in Turkey.

Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden - Ge. 2:8.

A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates - Ge. 2:10-14.

When the flood came during Noah’s time, the two river Pishon and Gihon were wiped out by the impact, so did the Eden. However, two river withstood the impact and remained intact. They are the Tigris and the Euphrates.
The birth place of the rivers is in Turkey.  The two rivers flow from Turkey, which is in middle east.{Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden - Ge. 2:8.}See the links to make sure this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigris

Therefore, it is one hundred true that Eden located in Turkey.

Another surprising thing is Noah’s ark came to Turkey. Yes, this is also true!

The seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat -Ge. 8:4.

Know what? The mountains of Ararat are in Turkey!

Tell your kids about God.

Once a believer came to my home with his six year old daughter. He is really proud of his daughter, who knows many rhymes. He made her say five rhymes for me, and she did. I admired her.

After that, I talked to her father about some important matters. While they were about to leave, I asked the little girl to do Lord’s prayer. She said, “I don’t know what it is?” I asked her father he didn’t teach her Lord’s prayer. “I didn’t tell her about it, cause she is a kid. She can’t take in,” he replied.

I said you should tell her about God. At this, the father posed this question to me:

“How come can children understand when we tell them about God?”

It took me much time to convince him that Children can understand about God if we tell them about.

Five year old children are operating computers, playing the guitar, and some driving cars.

They are wise enough to understand about them and operate them. Then why wouldn’t they understand about God?

They do understand about God when we tell them about him. Most of the parents are thinking that their children can’t take in about God even if they tell them.

This is wrong. They can understand.

They ask us many question readring the Bible and God while we tell them about. We must tell them answers. Social answers only. When they grow up, they understand the full answers themselves.

It’s parents’ duty to bring their children up in God. Instead of doing this, many parents are bringing their kids in rhymes and video games. This is not correct. Besides telling them the Bible and the stories, parents could teach their children rhymes. But setting aside the Bible and God is not good.

Once, I happened to go to an orphanage. There, children are singing songs about God. Their prayers are remarkably amazing. I fell like I can’t beat them in prayers. I daresay God does listen to their prayers and bestow them what they need.

God loves the children, who knows rhymes, but not more than the children, who know how to pray and sing songs of God.

Therefore, train your children how to pray to God and how thank him in both hardships and happiness. By doing this, your children will be blessed abundantly. It will be good for their lives.

Do this if you really like your children.

Holy Communion Is to Remember Christ

There was a believer in a Church, who had not been taking part in Holy Communion. He was just looking at the believers who were eating the bread and drinking the wine. The pastor, in the church, observed the believer for a long time, and one day, he went to him while he was about to get into his vehicle.

The pastor said, “I’ve been watching you for a long time. You are not taking Holy Communion. You got any problem?”  The believer said, “How can I take Holy Communion? I feel I’m a sinner. ” The pastor chuckled and asked, “Jesus died on the cross for sinner or the righteous?”

“For sinners,” the believer said.

“Then Who should take Holy communion sinners or the righteous?”

“Sinners,” answered the believer after a moment of pause.

“You said right,” said the pastor, “From now on you should take Holy Communion.” The believer agreed.

Well, this is not a story. This is a real incident. I’m whiteness to this.

Many believers are considering themselves sinners and not taking Holy Communion. This is not good. It is being widely spread that only the righteous deserves to take Holy Communion. This is false.

Every Christian should take Holy Communion without fail.

He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” - Lk. 22:19.

Jesus didn’t say, celebrate Christmas and Easter in remembrance of me.

Christmas and Easter are the festivals appointed by us, not by god. Of course, it’s not wrong to celebrate them. The disappointing this many believers are not taking part in celebrating Holy Communion. They think God will punish them if they take Holy Communion.

If we don’t eat Holy Communion, God won’t be pleased with us. Come to your sense and take part in Holy Communion service.

God is not averse to the Rich

Some believers are thinking God wants to drain our bank balance and stand us on roads for the sake of kingdom of God.
This is a misgiving.

In B.C. God commanded the Israelites that they must give tenth of their inheritance to God as offering. It is not for God. It is for Levites.

In A.D. Christ told a rich man that he should sell everything and give it to the poor.

In the beginning of the first century believers put it in practice.

Those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had needed - Ac. 4:34-35.
(Communism was born from this. It was not newly invented. To say, Communism concept is an old wine in a bottle)

In the middle of the first century, Paul, filled with Holy spirit, made a new statement regarding offerings.

Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver - 2Co. 9:7.

So there is no compulsion on anybody to sell everything and give it to the poor. God set us free and put the ball in our court. So each one is authorised to give whatever he wishes to give.

You’d like to give a few dollars to God? Give away. No problem. You are willing to give the few dollars cheerfully. God blesses you for that.

Though you’ve given hundreds of dollars to God under compulsion, God is not pleased with that.

Some immature preachers are adhering to the scripture Jesus had said to the rich man.

Many changes were done by God to lighten the yoke on Christians. In my many aspects. If we read the bible many times, we understand them.

God doesn’t forsake any believer. It doesn’t matter whether he is a poor man or rich man. Remember that God has blessed many people with riches, beginning from Abraham.

So God is not averse to the rich.

For the sake of perfection in spiritual life

In these days, we’re watching people’s testimonies on tvs and in some ministries. Many Christians, who have recovered from their sicknesses, are giving testimonies and praising God. Jesus healed many but commanded them they shouldn’t tell it to anybody, because he doesn’t want the testimony of cured persons.

Jesus told the cured persons that they should show themselves before the priest and offer gifts as Moses commanded. Today, many Christians who have not understood the bible properly are doing against to this. Even pastors are no exception. A pastor was saying to a congregation, “put your hand where you have sickness. Today, God is going to heal you. He wants to heal you. Close your eyes. I’ll pray, and you’ll be healed.”

A few persons, in the congregation, who had sickness put their hands where they had sickness. The pastor prayed a long time for  the sick persons. After that, he opened his eyes and said, “those who have been healed by God rise your hands.” Many hands rose out of the few persons. Once again, the pastor
said, “come onto the stage and tell your testimony, so that God  will be praised.”

They went to onto the stage and said that they were cured of their sickness. After that, all they shouted, “Hallelujah!”

This is not Jesus wanted.  Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of
Christ does not have God - 2Jn. 9.

These are the people who are overtaking God and going ahead. A person, who is cured of his sickness, must thank God in his prayers. That’s enough. He need not publicize it.

Another blunder.
A pastor received a call from a paralyzed person. The person said, “I’m a paralyzed person, pastor. Please pray for me and heal me.” The pastor prayed a long time, then he began to shout as: “Get up! Take your mat and walk!” He shouted like this for a long time. The paralyzed person cried, “I’m unable to walk.”
The pastor said to the man, “You don’t have faith. God is not willing to heal you.”

The paralyzed person was disappointed and came to a conclusion that God was not willing to heal him nor cared for him. So he stopped praying. He foolishly believed the pastor words and changed like this.
In the bible, Jesus healed many persons, who had no faith. Later on, they believed Jesus. We must remember that.

I tell you don’t believe the pastors who claim that they can heal  the sick. These pastors roam in churches, calming that they can heal, but they never ever go to hospitals to heal the bed ridden patients. God heals the sick directly. He doesn’t need another mediator to perform this. God is always ready to listen to the prayers of the sick to heal them. He heals every sick person at a proper time. So the sick must be patient until God heals them. God has no partisan attitude. He pays attention to everybody
prayers.

Another blunder:

Some Christians don’t know who they should pray to. And through whom they should pray. In our family, we know who our father is, mother is, and brother is.

When it comes to God’s family, some Christians are unaware of the father, the son, and the Holy spirit.
They are claiming that the father, the son, and the Holy spirit in one. Jesus is our brother. His father is our father. We should pray to our father through Jesus, who is our interceder. Holy spirit is also our brother. (Read ‘who is Holy spirit’ to know more about him. You could find it in the postings)

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name - Ep. 3:14-14.

For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus - 1Ti. 2:5.

Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Ep. 5:20.

Not knowing all these, some Christians are praying as:

God thank you for sacrificing your life for my sins
* God, our father, didn’t die for our sins. He sent to his son for that. His son died for our sins.

Some are praying as:

Forgive our transgressions Jesus (Then they ask some requests, and finally they say)We’re asking these requests in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. We must pray to God through Jesus. We shouldn’t pray to Jesus
though his name. Remember.

Because of these imperfection Christian sake, this article was posted so that they will amend their mistakes and become perfect in their spiritual life.
