You multiply the impact of your life when you encourage others! Letting others give lets them shine & humbles you....

The true heart of Christmas is realizing that we can celebrate the birth of a Savior and that there’s hope every single day of the year

Prevailing Prayer is almost an impossibility where there is neglect of study of the Word of God

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ - 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

True Worship means , I no longer need an answer to my questions. He is enough.

One Useful Strategy for Becoming More Useful - Leaders are useful when they honor the contribution of others; When you honor the talents and skills of others, they will honor your wisdom with loyalty.

Feast Of Christ the King : "O Lord, my Father and Master of my life" - Sirach 23:1, Have Mercy On Me

It Is Not Because I have earned it, But Bcoz of a greater Purpose, that i have been Blessed!! Amen!! Refer Ephesians 2:8-10: We Were Saved, Chosen & Anointed Bcoz of his grace & his plan for betterment, Good works for saving Souls for our Lord Jesus, But If we do not care for his souls then we may stand loosing our anointing, the more we care for his souls the more his anointing in us.

"God, Help me to be weird" : calling us to live – sanctified, set apart, separated, consecrated,the bottom line is that believers should be choosing to live differently . (Refer 1 John 2:15-17 & Romans 12:2).

Our transformation through Christ can be so dramatic that people around us may think that we are out of our mind.

Hmmm..... you Know what???? I was never good at school, I couldn’t sit still; I was substantially inauthentic and superficial. I am learning that the only person I can change is me, Change me Jesus.........

Stop aspiring to become a leader its a waste of time. Leaders don’t aspire to leadership; Leaders don’t wait for titles; leaders don’t need titles. Lead today. create it by humbly leading, now......

Where else can i go?, With Whom Shall I go Lord?, everything that i am is through you, everything that i have is from you, Whom else shall I go to Lord But Only you have the word's of eternal life? Lord, I in you & you in me.... May I Always remain in you & you in me ....... I Love you Jesus...........

"Called to Be Saints"  - Romans 1:7 We need to come to realize that every one is called to be a Disciple of Christ. in fact, in the early church. "Saint" was the word used to refer to the believers in Jesus Christ. In The letter of St.Paul & St.Peter & in the book of Acts, Christians are simply addresses as Saints. St. Paul in Writing to the church at Philippi says, "Greet every saint in my name" -Phil 4:21, he voices the conviction of the early Christians: "We are called to be saints" - Rom 1:7 " The Identity of the believer in Jesus is embedded in his Call to be a Saint" "you shall be Holy" - 1 Peter 1:16: this is what being a saint means -  a person set apart from the world to belong to Jesus. the moment I am baptized into Jesus Christ, I am a new creation, For Jesus Says: " If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you ou...

"This is The Will Of God For You" - 1 Thess 5:18: God has a perfect will & Plan for each of us in Jesus christ; God Has declared : "I know the plans I have for you" - Jer 29:11, "This is the way, walk in it" - Isaiah 30:21: St. Paul clearly spells out: "to rejoice, pray constantly & give thanks in all the circumstances of our life" & Proclaims: "we know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose" - Romans 8:28 ; The world is hard on us & we are, each of us, on our own. Even those nearest to us cannot understand us. But God stands by us. So Jesus gently comforts:"Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, Believe in me" - Jn 14:1: Jesus is challenging us to rise above mere natural evaluations to a divine vision of all things. Now!!! Faith holds the key! The Faith that my god is eager for my good & is set on on accomplishing it for me;  ...

God's Grace isn't defined by the ignorance of other people. Just because others don't believe doesn't take away it's power to save.

Don't let Tomorrow Or yesterday take up too much of today...... Refer Matthew 6:27-29

Go ahead! Hate inefficiency, loss, poverty, stagnation, waste, backstabbing, fear, and laying people off.

LeaderShip Or ServantHood ? Jesus taught very little about leadership. He was more interested in service & stewardship.

To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.

A heart-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous and apprehensive. Late in the afternoon she summoned the courage to approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to a raise. The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table set with their best dishes. Candles were softly glowing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a festive meal. She wondered if someone from the office had tipped him off. Or... did he just somehow know that she would not get turned down? She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They embraced and kissed, then sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. It read: “Congratulations, darling! I knew you'd get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you.” ” Following the supper, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up. She noticed that a second card had fallen from his pocket. Pick...

Hmmm.... Often "I didn't get anything out of church today" is the consumer Christian's way to say "I was lazy & didn't listen for the Holy Spirit."

He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you." - Exodus 15:26

At all times, Christ's ever beckoning words of comfort is ours to claim - " Come to me & I Will give you Rest." - Mathew 11:28

"For His Sake, I have suffered the loss of all things & count them as refuse, in order that I May Gain CHRIST, & be found in him" - Philippians 3:8-9

Purposing to please fewer is not purposing to displease or offend many. It takes COURAGE, however, to be willing to displease; that COURAGE creates UNIQUENESS..

And so the season of Lent begins. If you attended Ash Wednesday mass yesterday and Recieved ashes, then you heard one of two things while receiving your ashes. The meaning of one seems fairly obvious. The other seems to confuse people sometimes – but it shouldn’t. The obvious one is “Turn away from sin and be faithful to the gospel.” I think most people get this one. The other is “Remember, man, that you are dust and unto dust you shall return.” I love this one. Some people seem to feel like it’s too negative. And honestly, I think a lot of people just don’t get it. I was confused about it for years, too. I thought – “wait, I thought the reason I was showing up for mass in the first place was to keep this whole turning back into dust thing from happening?! What gives!?” These words come from scripture, actually. They occur after The Fall when God is explaining to Adam one of the main consequences of his Original Sin – separation from God and mortality.
