Prophet and His Reward

Prophet and His Reward:
"Matthew 10:41 NKJV
He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward."
There are many prophets in the Bible; some books in the Old Testament are classified as Major and Minor prophets.
These were the people whom God chose to speak to and through them to His people.
We learn about prophet Elijah in the book of  Chronicles and Kings.
He's mentioned many a times in the New Testament as well.
Jesus  too Mentions about Elijah.
God sent Elijah the prophet to the widow in Zarephath, when she gave up whatever little she had, she was the one,  who was blessed. If she had not given the Bread and water to Elijah, then she would have been a loser. God  can  create a new way to provide for His servants. She received the prophet and the prophet's reward.
As a New Covenant Beleiver, we  have the Great Prophet, and the Great High Priest -JESUS.
Yes Jesus said about this, about Himself:
"Matthew 13:57 NKJV
So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house."
Also Moses saw Jesus as the Prophet,
"Acts 3:22-23 NKJV
For Moses truly said to the fathers, 'The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. [23] And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.'
And Peter rightly picks up the thread as Luke points out  in his narrative of the Acts of the Apostles, signifying that Jesus indeed is the One Prophet spoken by Moses. "Him you shall hear..."
"John 6:14 NKJV says:
Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."
And the "sign" those men marvelled about was when Jesus took up five loaves and two fishes, gave thanks and fed 5000 men, besides women and children.
"Him you shall hear..." God the Father's heart's desire is that we hear Him (Jesus),  who's sent down from heaven for us- the living bread. In fact, in the glory mountain there were three prophets - Moses, Elijah and Jesus, when Peter saw a sight that will stay with him the rest of his days. Whose tabernacle will you go and hear the prophetic words?
"Mark 9:7, 8 NKJV says:
And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!
Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves"
Only Jesus. Hear Him!
Lord JESUS we receive you in our heart and renew our minds to hear You and to know that we're immeasurably blessed because of your work on the Cross. To The Eternally Blessed Christ,  be all Honor, Wisdom Glory and Power. Amen.

Recovery of sight to the blind

It's about Eye not I
Jesus said "
Matthew 6:22 NKJV
"The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light."
We have eyes which are very precious, through this we see the beauty of God's creation. Also we see others  -people.Some see others through their natural eyes - external characteristics, some see others  through their intellectuall eyes,-education, Position/power in the society, some see others through their soulish eye- emotions and feelings, but I tell you that the desired sight is Spiritual.
Lord Jesus cautioned us about following  the blind
"Matthew 15:14 NKJV
. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch."
Apostle Paul, encouraged  the Church of Jesus Christ- The Beleivers to pray for spiritual enlightenment
"Ephesians 1:18 NKJV
the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,"
One of the mission of Christ -The Anointed One is to bring sight to the blind, Jesus said
"Luke 4:18 NKJV
"The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;"-
We pray, Lord Jesus- Enlighten our spiritual eyes and open the blind eyes.
Amazing grace... I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see.

Anger An Attribute of God

Anger An Attribute of God:   Bible talks about this also, God can be angry also !!!!
God The Father's  wrath of God because of sin is fully paid by Jesus_Lamb of God.
Let's move ahead to know this attribute of God.
As it's in "Psalm 2:12 NKJV
Kiss the Son, lest He( God The Father)  be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him."_ _ this  verse is talking about Jesus_The  Son of God.
New Testament, talks about people who kissed the feet of Jesus, who washed the feet of Jesus. What makes Him( Jesus) angry!!!_"
Matthew 18:6 NKJV
"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea."_ Yes let's make sure, that we don't intimidate people_ fear which is opposite of  Faith. Christian Life is all about believing in Jesus. May our eyes be continuously     focused and Fixed on Him (Jesus)_who's the Author, Perfector of Faith, The Very source  of Our Faith, as it's in _"Hebrews 12:2 AMP
Looking away from all that will distract to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith giving the first incentive for our belief and is also its Finisher bringing it to maturity and perfection."__Hallelujah Jesus The Good and Chief Shepherd.

Speak Jesus The Life

Now it's all about cricket!!!
Gone are those days when I was perplexed which team to support as we have disconnected the cable connection haahaa
Every catch caught or dropped destines the success or failure of a particular team!!
Remembering if  we could catch _receive, the blessings spoken, heard and headed towards us through Jesus Christ.
There is something similar to this in the Bible_We're Christ's Ambassadors, we represent  The  King Jesus, "2 Corinthians 5:20 NKJV
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ,"
Bible says_ Jesus went about doing good _
"    Acts 10:38 NKJV
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him."
We who're Christ's has the same calling to be  an Ambassador for Christ_Forgiving, healing and speaking words of blessings over people's life, if the vessel is receptive they receive; if not it will come back to you, so speak Life,  speak blessings speak abundant life_speak Jesus. Amen.

Pleasing God

Proverbs 12:22 NKJV
Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, But those who deal truthfully are His delight"_Sometimes even exaggerated talk becomes a lie, let's make sure that Truth(Jesus)_ lives inside of us, in our day to day dealing with people may the Lord empower us to please Him. Pleasing God is a choice and  doesn't occur by force._The Psamist  puts it down in _"                                            "Psalm 149:4 NKJV
For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation." Also may we really  make a willing inclination in our thoughts and life to please Him (Jesus)._
"Psalm 147:11 NKJV
The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear Him, In those who hope in His mercy.

Awesomely and wonderfully

Awesomely and wonderfully_    Psalm 139:14 NKJV
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. _ I used to tell our elder son_There was a Father and mother who didn't have a child, and God made a precious little boy and put him in the mother's womb; and that baby is you. And He added one more precious one- and that's your brother. He used to listen to all this until recently when he questions, "Mummy, how many times will you tell me the same story!"
_haahaa_ Yes it's sooo wonderful as it's said in PS.139:1, For I am awesomely n wonderfully made_God the Creator takes utmost Care in making you and I, perfect_He makes your heart, he makes your eyes n says "Hi, awesome!!" As the Psamist rightly gets this revelation and puts it in Psalm 139:16 AMP
Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days of my life were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them."_ Every organ of your physical body  is mentioned in God's book, when you face a health issue come to the Maker_He Reassures it in _Psalm 107:20 NKJV
He sent His Word (Jesus) and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions."__As Bible scholars say that every time Jesus was whipped (As the edge of the whip had sharp nails) His (Jesus's) body was pierced_Isaiah 53:5 NKJV
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed._God The Creator, God The Healer- To Jesus The Sacrificial Lamb be Glory Honour and power. Amen.
