Keys To Be Fruitful

We all look at being fruitful at our work places and personal life. Ever thought of being fruitful together, as a family? 

For you shall eat the fruit of [the labor of] your hands, You will be happy and blessed and it will be well with you. Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine Within the innermost part of your house; Your children will be like olive plants Around your table.

PSALMS 128:2‭-‬3 AMP

It says:

1. You will be happy, blessed, prosperous & healthy

2. Your wife will be fruitful at the core of your house in every area (being able to comfort, provide a helping hand, strengthening values, etc) 

3. Your kids will add to your inheritance. They will not only enjoy what you are able to provide, but they will also produce (joy, simplicity, humility & a child like heart in you which is pleasing to God) 

How do you become fruitful as a family? 

Psalm 128 gives you the simple keys for the same:

1. Stay connected with the Lord (as a family) 

2. Worship the Lord together 

3. Finally, live a life aligned with the Word of God. 

Remember that, a family that prays together, worships together and communes with the Lord together, will always remain one strong unit the emy can't break. 

Have a blessed day! 

Psalm 23 - Part 3

How Do You See Yourself?

David has not only beautifully described the role of our Shepherd, but he has also recognised himself to be God’s sheep. He knows his strengths and weaknesses. He acknowledges them and boasts about the grace of God that alone carries him through. 

Psalm 100 : 3

Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 

As a sheep, he knew that there were times he got distracted and strayed away from the word, presence and promises of God. He went on his own on dangerous paths; yet he was never afraid because his Shepherd was always around. With His rod and staff, he would discipline and comfort getting him back on the right track. 

He is assured that he will always walk in the grace, favour and victory of God. He was calm because he knew the power of God. He knew that His Shepherd will always be faithful and will love him and care for him even in his darkest hours. He was sure of being encompassed by His presence till eternity. Can you trust that your Shepherd watches over you with the same confidence that David had?

Psalm 23 ~ Part 1

Whom do you trust?

David had a rock-solid confidence in God. He didn’t wonder whether God was going to give him food to eat, clothes to wear, or a place to live. Part of that confidence came from his experiences. And part of that confidence came from the fact that David knew God very well. All of David’s hopes and dreams were caught up in the Lord. Even if he had been forced to go without some of the things that people consider necessities, he wouldn’t have missed them much. His trust was in the Lord.

Your situations might make you feel that you’re alone, you’re hopeless and cannot be healed again. Rather than living in a dead situation, live in the life Christ offers you. Before you let the Devil know about your God, you need to know Him and trust him; the Devil already knows the power of God. We let him in through open doors because we don’t trust in God and we don’t realise His power. I saw every problem as a dead end in my life till I didn’t completely recognise the power of God in my life. Today when I do, I can easily depend on Him even in the times of trials. I can easily praise and worship Him, dance even when it hurts and rejoice even when there is no reason to do so. My situations may not give me a reason to rejoice; but my God surely does! 

Forget Not His Benefits

Amidst the storm I have felt your peace,

In your embrace I feel my fears release. 

In your light my darkness flees,

Your goodness, Oh Lord, will never cease!

You healed me when I was sick,

My thoughts, my words, my deeds you fixed. 

You consecrated me and set me apart,

Now from Your love, will I never part. 

You bring joy to every mourning,

And heartfelt praises for You are unending. 

Your grace never leaves me forgotten,

So I offer my praise unbroken. 

Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not His goodness,

Surrender to Him, He will impart His righteousness. 

Obedience He seeks, and not your sacrifice;

Trust Him, His grace will suffice!

Voice of Truth

As I look ahead, all I can see is darkness
My soul isn't at rest
The ones whom I call my own
Look down on me as I fail to give my best.
I decide to be still.
I know that it is only the Voice of Truth that can calm my soul
The voice that calmed the storm,
The voice thay called Lazarus out of the grave!
I know that my soul can be rest assured in Him and His promises.
I stand there and continue to look ahead
All I can see is darkness yet
But now....
...I can also see a path in the wilderness
My soul is peaceful-
Flooded with peace that passeth all understanding!
I now know there is a way,
I know the One who leads me,
I trust my GOOD SHEPHERD!
"I can hear the voice of Truth; and I will choose to listen and believe it."
