Birthday Celebration

Image
 One that many believers wonder about. Interestingly, the Bible does not directly command or forbid birthday celebrations , but it gives examples and principles that help us think carefully about them. Let’s look at what Scripture shows: 1. Examples of Birthday Celebrations in the Bible There are only two birthday celebrations mentioned in the Bible — and both are tied to negative events. (a) Pharaoh’s Birthday – Genesis 40:20–22 “Now it came to pass on the third day, Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants… But he hanged the chief baker…” This account shows Pharaoh, a pagan ruler, celebrating his birthday with a feast that ended in someone’s execution. There’s no sign of God’s people celebrating birthdays in this way. (b) Herod’s Birthday – Matthew 14:6–10 / Mark 6:21–28 “But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them… and he commanded it to be given to her. And he sent and beheaded John in the prison.” Herod’s b...

Still Holding On

🎵 English Version – “Still Holding On” Verse 1: I’ve walked through fire, I’ve faced the storm, Fallen so many times, yet I’m not gone. Your mercy found me when I was weak, Your gentle whisper made my heart believe. Pre-Chorus: When I had nothing left to give, You held me close and taught me to live. Chorus: So here I am, still holding on, Still believing when the night feels long. Still trusting the One who never gave up on me, Oh Jesus, You’re my song, my peace, my everything. Verse 2: I’ve seen the dark, but You lit the way, Your grace has carried me day by day. Every failure, You turned to grace, Every tear You wiped from my face. Pre-Chorus: When hope was gone, Your love remained, You called my heart by its broken name. Chorus: So here I am, still holding on, Still believing when the night feels long. Still trusting the One who never gave up on me, Oh Jesus, You’re my song, my peace, my everything. Bridge: You never let go, You never let go, Your ha...

The Secret of Seeing and Hearing Hearts

“The Secret of Seeing and Hearing Hearts” “देखने और सुनने वाले हृदय का रहस्य” Matthew 13:12-17 📖 पद 12 — “क्योंकि जिसके पास है, उसे और दिया जाएगा…” (Verse 12 — “For whoever has, to him more will be given…”) 🔍 Explanation / व्याख्या: यीशु यहाँ एक आध्यात्मिक सिद्धांत (spiritual law) बता रहे हैं — परमेश्वर के राज्य में जो व्यक्ति सत्य को ग्रहण करता है और उस पर चलता है , उसे परमेश्वर और गहराई से सिखाता है। लेकिन जो उदासीन या आलसी है, वह धीरे-धीरे अपनी आत्मिक समझ खो देता है। This is not about possessions , but about perception . It’s a law of spiritual growth: Use it, or lose it. 🌱 Truth multiplies in a humble heart, but dies in a proud one. 💬 Application / जीवन में लागू करें: हर बार जब हम परमेश्वर के वचन को सुनते हैं, हमें यह तय करना होता है — क्या मैं इसे केवल सुनूंगा, या इसका पालन करूंगा? हर आज्ञाकारिता नई प्रकाशना (new revelation) का द्वार खोलती है। 📖 पद 13 — “मैं उनसे दृष्टान्तों में इसलिये बातें करता हूँ…” (Verse 13 — “This is why I speak to them in parables…”)...

A Day in the Millennial Kingdom

A Day in the Millennial Kingdom (A glimpse through the eyes of RUTH — one of the survivors who entered the Kingdom after the Great Tribulation) The sun rises gently over the hills of Jerusalem. The air feels alive — fresh, pure, like creation itself breathes again. No smoke, no pollution, no sorrow — only the quiet hum of peace. RUTH steps out of her home, made of smooth stone and living vines. Her children play nearby, laughing as they chase doves that no longer fear them. The wolf and the lamb graze together on the hillside — their peace no longer a miracle, but a way of life. 👑 The Reign of the King From the city below, a trumpet sounds. It is time for the Morning Assembly — when the nations send representatives to hear the Word of the King. RUTH gathers her family and walks toward Jerusalem. The roads are wide and lined with fruit trees whose leaves shine like polished glass. Every nation sends its people — Ethiopians, Persians, islanders from afar — all singing in th...
