Lord, Lord… Do I Really Know Him?

Lord, Lord… Do I Really Know Him?  हे प्रभु, हे प्रभु… क्या मैं वास्तव में उसे जानता हूँ?” Introduction Many people think saying “Lord” or doing religious works is enough. बहुत से लोग सोचते हैं कि केवल “प्रभु” कह देना या धार्मिक काम करना पर्याप्त है। Jesus warns: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom…” (Matthew 7:21). यीशु चेतावनी देते हैं: “हर कोई जो मुझ से कहता है, ‘हे प्रभु, हे प्रभु,’ स्वर्ग के राज्य में प्रवेश न करेगा…” (मत्ती 7:21)। Paul promises: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13). पौलुस वादा करता है: “जो कोई प्रभु का नाम लेगा, वह उद्धार पाएगा।” (रोमियों 10:13)। Is this a contradiction? No — it is a call to examine whether we truly know Jesus . क्या यह विरोधाभास है? नहीं — यह हमें जाँचने की बुलाहट है कि क्या हम सचमुच यीशु को जानते हैं । 1. The False Security of Empty Words (Matthew 7:21) Jesus says: Not everyone who says “Lord, Lord” will enter. यीशु कहते हैं: हर कोई जो “हे प्रभु, हे प्रभु” कहत...

2 Chronicles 20:17

2 Chronicles 20:17 to a financial crisis. That verse reminds God’s people: “You will not need to fight in this battle. Stand firm, hold your position, and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf...” Here’s how it can apply to financial struggles today: The crisis feels overwhelming Just like Judah faced an army far bigger than they could handle, a financial crisis often feels impossible—debts piling up, bills unpaid, income uncertain. The natural reaction is fear The verse says “Do not be afraid or dismayed” because fear paralyzes us. In financial hardship, worry and panic can cloud judgment, leading to rash decisions. Our part: stand firm God didn’t tell Judah to ignore the battle but to take their position. In financial terms, this can mean: Facing the reality of the crisis (not hiding from bills or debts). Making wise, steady steps (budgeting, seeking counsel, finding support). Staying faithful instead of giving in to despair. God’s part: bring deliv...

Good Message vs. Message with Revelation

Good Message vs. Message with Revelation 1. Definition Good Message : Well-prepared sermon, biblically correct, inspirational, and logical. Message with Revelation : Spirit-breathed truth that unveils Christ and brings life-changing understanding. 2. Scriptural Foundation Good Message Example : Apollos was “an eloquent man, mighty in the Scriptures” (Acts 18:24). Revelation Example : Peter declared, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father in heaven” (Matthew 16:16–17). 3. Impact Good Message : Educates, motivates, encourages people to do better. Message with Revelation : Brings conviction, opens spiritual eyes, and transforms lives. 4. Source Good Message : Human preparation, study, and intellect. Revelation : Illumination of the Holy Spirit, birthed in prayer, waiting on God, and intimacy with Him. 5. Paul’s Example “I did not come with excellence of spee...

Rapture scenes

When you say “Rapture scenes” , do you mean: Biblical / prophetic depictions (descriptions of what the rapture might look like according to Scripture)? Artistic/visual imagery (like scenes for paintings, movies, or storytelling)? Passage/script ideas (to describe it in writing, like for a sermon, story, or song)? Here are a few ways Rapture scenes are commonly portrayed: 🔹 Biblical Descriptions 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 – The Lord descends with a shout, the trumpet of God sounds, the dead in Christ rise first, then living believers are caught up in the clouds to meet Him. 1 Corinthians 15:51–52 – In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet, believers are changed and receive glorified bodies. Matthew 24:40–41 – Two will be in the field, one is taken, the other left. 🔹 Visual / Artistic Scenes A calm day suddenly interrupted by a trumpet blast from the heavens , lightning streaks across the skies. Graves opening as the dead in Chri...

love is not optional

According to the Bible, love is not optional—it’s the very evidence of belonging to Christ. Jesus Himself said: “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:35) If we don’t love each other, especially as believers, it shows that our hearts may not truly belong to Him. 1 John 4:8 says, “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” So, if the rapture takes place and someone has lived without love—harboring hatred, bitterness, or selfishness—it could be a sign they were never truly walking in Christ. The rapture gathers those who belong to Him, those washed by His blood and marked by His Spirit, and the Spirit produces love as the first fruit (Galatians 5:22). In other words: If we have Christ, His love will flow through us, even if imperfectly. If we reject love, we may be showing that we never truly belonged to Him. So the real danger is that those who do not walk in love may be left behind when Christ takes H...

Loan Settlement

Let me guide you through this carefully, both in wisdom and faith. 🌿 1. First, Anchor Your Heart Remember: You are not alone. Many great men of faith (and business) have faced debt and pressure before God lifted them. Don’t let shame destroy you. Debt is a burden, but it is not your identity. Pray daily: “Lord, give me wisdom, favor with people, and a path to freedom.” (Proverbs 3:5–6). 💡 2. Practical Steps to Settle Borrowings a) Make a Full List Write down every lender  how much you owe, and what was promised. This helps you see the total picture instead of scattered fear. b) Categorize Urgent (those pressing hardest, legally risky, or relationship-based). Flexible (those willing to wait longer). Large vs. Small amounts (sometimes paying smaller amounts first builds confidence). c) Negotiate Openly Sit with each one (if possible) and ask for more time . Offer partial repayment schedules : “I can return X amount every month until ...

Russia, China, and North Korea

Biblical prophecy, Christian eschatology, and how some interpret Russia, China, and North Korea in the light of the “kings of the east.” 📖 The Biblical Text The phrase “ kings of the east ” comes from: Revelation 16:12 “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east.” This is part of the Bowl Judgments (end-time plagues before Christ’s return). The “drying of the Euphrates” is seen as clearing the path for massive armies to advance toward Armageddon (Revelation 16:16). 🕊 Main Eschatological Views 1. Futurist (common evangelical view) The “kings of the east” are interpreted as a coalition of Asian powers who will march westward into the Middle East in the final war before Christ’s return. Numbers are sometimes tied to Revelation 9:16 (200 million troops). Many prophecy teachers speculate this could include China , possibly allied with Russia, North Korea, or ot...

When We Hesitate, God Raises Another

  When We Hesitate, God Raises Another Introduction Two powerful stories from Scripture: One from the Old Testament — the story of Deborah, Barak, and Jael in Judges 4. And one from the New Testament — Jesus’ parable of the Talents in Matthew 25. Both teach us the same truth: God entrusts us with opportunities, but if we hesitate in obedience, He can raise up another person to fulfill His purpose. 1. God’s Call Requires Obedience 📖 Judges 4:6–7 – Deborah delivered God’s command to Barak: “Go, gather your men… for I will give Sisera into your hand.” God’s instructions were clear. He had already promised victory. 📖 Matthew 25:14–15 – Jesus said the master gave talents “to each according to his ability.” God gives each of us something: gifts, resources, time, opportunities. 👉 Every believer here has a calling. God has entrusted something to you . The question is not if He has called you, but will you obey quickly? 2. Hesitation Leads to Lost Honor...

Love: The Proof of Knowing God

1 John 4:8 and 1 John 4:20–21 , where John makes it clear that love is the evidence of knowing God . Without love, a person is spiritually blind, disconnected from God, and their faith is empty—what you referred to as “pagan” or dikhawa (show-off) . Here’s a clear explanation: Love: The Proof of Knowing God John writes: “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” – 1 John 4:8 “If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love their brother, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.” – 1 John 4:20 Key points: Love reveals true faith : Knowing God is not just about rituals, knowledge, or outward appearances—it’s about living in love . Without love, faith is hollow : Those who claim to follow God but act without love are essentially spiritually blind , even if they appear religious. Dikhawa (show-off) versus genuine life : Performing good works, miracles, or speaking spiritually with no ...

Love Over Miracles: The Heart That Matters

Love Over Miracles: The Heart That Matters Jesus said: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father… Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’” – Matthew 7:21-23 This shows us: Miracles and spiritual gifts are not enough : Even performing supernatural works is meaningless if the heart is not aligned with God. Love is the foundation of obedience : Doing the will of the Father is rooted in love—for God and for others. Without love, even miraculous acts are empty. Rapture readiness comes from a loving heart : Our relationship with God, expressed through love, patience, and faithfulness, is what truly prepares us for Christ’s return. In short, love is not optional . It’s the heart of obedience, the proof ...
That’s a key point from 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 . Paul emphasizes that no matter how gifted we are—speaking like angels, prophesying, having great knowledge, or even giving everything to the poor— without love, it amounts to nothing (“becar,” worthless). Here’s a clear explanation tying it to readiness for the Rapture: Love Makes All Things Valuable Paul writes: “If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal… If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship but do not have love, I gain nothing.” – 1 Corinthians 13:1,3 This teaches us that spiritual gifts, works, and even acts of devotion are meaningless without love . Why? Because God’s coming is not about what we can do, but about who we are in Him . Speaking like angels : Even if we have the most profound spiritual insight, without love, it has no eternal value. Faith and service : Even giving our lives for God without love leaves ...

Love: The Key to Readiness for the Rapture

The reason love is the ultimate qualifier for readiness for Christ’s coming is beautifully emphasized in 1 Corinthians 13 . Paul writes about faith, hope, and love, and concludes that love is the greatest of these . Here’s how it connects to the Rapture and spiritual readiness: Love: The Key to Readiness for the Rapture Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 13:13 : “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” Faith and hope are essential—they keep us trusting God and anticipating His promises. But love is the one that fully reflects God’s nature . It is love that shapes our actions, our hearts, and our relationships . When we genuinely love others—sacrificially, patiently, and selflessly—we are living out God’s character and preparing ourselves for His coming. Why does love qualify us for the Rapture? Love mirrors God’s essence: God is love (1 John 4:8). Those who love are aligned with His heart. Love produces patience and endurance: ...

Love, Patience, and Waiting for His Coming

Image
Love, Patience, and Waiting for His Coming Beloved, love is more than just a feeling—it is life, joy, and a preparation for the day Christ returns. Science shows that when we love one another, our brains release dopamine , the “feel-good” chemical, filling us with joy, peace, and connection. But beyond science, God calls us to love: “We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death.” – 1 John 3:14 As we wait for the Rapture, love teaches us patience . It strengthens our faith, helps us endure trials, and keeps our hearts ready for the glorious coming of Christ. Every act of kindness, every word of encouragement, every gesture of care is not just an expression of love—it is a way to honor God, reflect His life in us, and prepare ourselves for His return. Let love flow from your heart and be visible in your actions. In doing so, you nurture joy in yourself and others, transform waiting into hope, and remain ste...

HONOR EVERYONE

 1 Peter 2:17 (ESV) says: “Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.” Here’s a breakdown of the verse: “Honor everyone” – Peter calls for general respect and dignity toward all people, regardless of status or background. This encourages humility, courtesy, and avoiding unnecessary conflict. “Love the brotherhood” – Believers are to show special love and care for fellow Christians, emphasizing unity, support, and fellowship. “Fear God” – A reminder of reverence and awe for God, keeping Him first in all decisions and actions. This “fear” is not terror but deep respect, trust, and obedience. “Honor the emperor” – Christians are instructed to respect governing authorities. Even under non-Christian rulers, honoring them demonstrates integrity and good testimony, as they still hold positions established by God (Romans 13:1). In short: This verse gives a balanced approach to relationships : respect everyone, show special love to fellow beli...

A Future and a Hope

"A Future and a Hope” Brothers and sisters, have you ever gone through a season where life felt like exile? Where you were waiting… praying… but nothing seemed to change? Maybe it’s sickness, maybe financial struggle, maybe a family situation. You’re in a place you don’t want to be, and you wonder: “Has God forgotten me?” That’s exactly how the Israelites felt. They were carried away into Babylon—far from home, far from the temple, far from everything familiar. Some false prophets told them, “Don’t worry, you’ll be back soon!” But Jeremiah came with a hard word: “No… you’ll be here for 70 years.” Imagine hearing that! Seventy years! Some of them would never live to see Jerusalem again. But then—right in the middle of that painful news—God speaks these words: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” 1. God Knows the Plan Notice, God doesn’t say “You know the plan.” He says, “I know the plan.” Th...

A House Divided Cannot Stand by Pastor Rubu Aja

“A House Divided Cannot Stand” Text: Matthew 12:25 प्रवचन: "विभाजित घर स्थिर नहीं रह सकता" पाठ: मत्ती 12:25 Introduction / भूमिका Jesus, in His wisdom, addressed the Pharisees who accused Him of working through the power of Satan. यीशु ने अपनी बुद्धि में, फ़रीसियों को उत्तर दिया जिन्होंने उन पर शैतान की शक्ति से काम करने का आरोप लगाया। Instead of getting defensive, He spoke a truth that applies to kingdoms, nations, families, churches, and even our own hearts: बचाव करने के बजाय, उन्होंने एक ऐसा सत्य कहा जो राज्यों, राष्ट्रों, परिवारों, कलीसियाओं और यहाँ तक कि हमारे अपने हृदयों पर भी लागू होता है: “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.” (Matthew 12:25)  “हर एक राज्य जो अपने ही विरुद्ध फूट डाला जाता है, उजाड़ हो जाता है; और कोई नगर या घर जो अपने ही विरुद्ध फूट डाला जाता है, स्थिर न रहेगा।” (मत्ती 12:25) Today, we will learn the danger of division and the blessing of unity under God’s Spir...

Set setting

Something very important topic—many people who point to specific dates like 23rd September are often influenced by interpretations of the Jewish (Hebrew) calendar and biblical feast days. Let’s break it down carefully. 1. Why 23rd September is Often Mentioned Some connect it to Revelation 12:1–2 (the woman clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet, crown of twelve stars). Astronomical alignments around September (Feast of Trumpets / Rosh Hashanah) sometimes seem to match this imagery. The Jewish calendar often places the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) around September. This feast is strongly linked to the idea of the rapture , because it involves the blowing of trumpets , and Paul said the rapture happens “at the last trumpet” (1 Thessalonians 4:16, 1 Corinthians 15:52). 2. Why They Say “Jesus is not Christian” Historically, Jesus was born a Jew, lived as a Jew, and fulfilled the Jewish Law (Matthew 5:17). Christianity, as a movement, began later whe...

Speak Life, Not Hopelessness

"Speak Life, Not Hopelessness” 📖 Jeremiah 29:11; Proverbs 18:21 Introduction Church, words are powerful. कलीसिया, वचन बहुत सामर्थी होते हैं। We sometimes underestimate them. हम कभी-कभी उनकी शक्ति को कम आँकते हैं। We say things like हम कहते हैं: “Nothing good will ever happen in my life.”   “मेरे जीवन में कभी कुछ अच्छा नहीं होगा।” “I’ll never come out of this situation.”   “मैं कभी इस स्थिति से बाहर नहीं निकलूँगा।” “My future is finished.”   “मेरा भविष्य समाप्त हो गया है।” But listen—when we speak hopelessness, we are not just expressing feelings; we are actually resisting the plan of God. पर सुनिए—जब हम निराशाजनक बातें बोलते हैं, तो हम केवल अपनी भावनाएँ व्यक्त नहीं करते, बल्कि वास्तव में हम परमेश्वर की योजना का विरोध कर रहे होते हैं। Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us हमें याद दिलाता है: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” “क्योंकि मैं उन योजनाओं को जानता हूँ जो मैं...
