Stay in safe place; under the protection of most high God


Now, we humanity have found ourselves in a desperate situation. We have found our humanity going through serious problem (coronavirus) and find ourselves trapped in the difficulty and dilemma of desperation.

Hope are fading away and faith has begun to being weak instead of strong.

This Shows situation with Israel caught up in desperate situation like scary Pharaoh given them a fear; making them to fear. Today we are stuck on the bank of the Red Sea again, desperation surrounding our world. Frozen with fear and disabled by doubt. We are bound with fear and we are panicking. Like, Pharaoh is chasing, coming and invading and red sea in front, no way to move forward. But God make a way through the Red Sea.
Not only that, But for forever God destroys that fear from Israelite’s. No not again that Pharaoh will make you afraid no not anymore.
So, there is still hope. We need to understand some biblical principle and should obey the tips of scientist and doctor to prevent and to get victory over this fear and desperation situation.
### This is the time to love yourself and save other
Love yourself so, keep neat and clean. Wash your hand.
Obey to isolate and lockdown rules for now in order to keep yourself safe. Use mask while you go outside of home. Protect yourself to protect other (family member, neighbor, town, society, nation and world).
Ephesians 5:29 For no one has ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and tenderly cares for it, as the Messiah does the church.
Proverbs 19:8 To acquire wisdom is to love oneself; people who cherish understanding will prosper.
The one who gets wisdom loves life;
the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.(NIV)
The one who acquires understanding loves himself
the one who preserves understanding will prosper.(NET)
Proverbs 19:8 King James Version (KJV)
He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.The expression “loves his soul” means that he is paying attention to his needs or taking care of his life.
Love other as you love yourself
Mark 12:31 The second is equally important: Love your neighbor as yourself. No other commandment is greater than these.

So, first love yourself ……in these days against COVID-19, take care of yourself, wash your hand and stay safe and save all your neighbor. If your cities are lockdown then do not come outside from your home, be obedient because of one person’s fault, many can be infected which could even lead to death.
Royal law
James 2:8 Nevertheless, you are doing the right thing if you obey the royal Law in keeping with the Scripture, “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”
Think of others as more significant than yourself.
Romans 12:10 be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
This is the time to make yourself meek and humble in front of God to save the world
2 chronicles 7:14 (NIV)
14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

When there are problems in their nations, communities, families and personal lives, God will heal those situations if they will come to Him in humility and repentance.
This is very important verse in our Holy Scriptures which are that if we humble ourselves and turn away from our sin He will hear, forgive our sins and heal our land.
Now, There is very supernatural protection for us, God protect us under His wings. Psalm 91
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence
4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 

5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. 
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 
8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. 
9 If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, 
10 no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. 
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; 
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. 
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. 
14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 
16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

God protects us under His wings, both from heat and cold situation of our life. Prayer must be done.

Psalm 17:8 Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings
Psalm 36:7 How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
Psalm 57:1 Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.
Psalm 61:4 I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
Note: must have desire to be and to stay in safe place; under the protection of most high God.
Psalm 63:7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.

Sing with Joy in His protection, let’s sing together with joy in God’s protection under His wings.
Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Don’t need to be panic God is an ever-present help in trouble. 
Do not hate those who are suffering right now instead pray for them and for their healing.
Repent and be humble, pray for those who are working to develop medicine and vaccine against this coronavirus. 
Do not hoard too much food and necessary items, save for other too.
Do not give fake news and do not spread rumors. 
This is not a time to blame each other or to hate each other but it’s time to be smart, wise, alert and be united together to fight against this battle.
Know that God is our refuge and strength. 
Love yourself, keep neat and clean; wash your hand, disinfect most common things of your house and save other too.
Pray hard and stay close to Jesus. Stay in safe place; under the protection of most high God. Amen.

                               Why we are in this world?



We human beings come and go in this world. We are the wisest and the mightier than any other beings in this world. We know that God created us in this world. 

          But, some of the questions that we may have been asking ourselves. Why I am here in this world? Here, the world is full of selfishness, full of pain, full of darkness. We feel suffocated or choked to live life. Then, God sent us here, to make us feel pain, why God doesn’t take us heaven directly, if He loves us? Is He playing games with me? Or God wants me to suffer here with great trials. Why He sent me here in this world?

           Living in the imaginary world and having lots of will, wish and dreams. Working hard, diligently, perspiring whole life for my family; working for my children, earning money, collecting property for those whom I will left them behind, I work and I earn money. And while I die,  I can’t take anything with me, then what is  the value of everything, I did and I will do?

           Only Bible gives us our answer; it comforts us and helps us to live our life thinking life as a precious and valuable. The value of life and the meaning of life, is explained in God’s word.

           In our bible, there is a man named Solomon, the son of King David. He got everything. He was wisest person, he was a wealthiest person, and he enjoyed his life. Everything that one human desires and wants he had it. But at last, he found everything is in this world is vanity, except GOD. The most important thing in life is to “fear God and keep His commandments” (eccl.12:13). To fear God and to live life for God is only the value of living.

         There are many verses, parables, story and many motivational words that teaches us about the value of our life in our Bible. So, bible gives us all our answers in this complicated world. But, here we all are going to see and learn from the verse Matthew 22:37 and psalm 150.
Like in psalm 150, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord.”
We human are created by our creator God to praise Him in everything we do. Every creature in this world must praise their almighty, creator God. This is the main responsibilities of human beings.

As in Matthew 22:37, the most important commandments that all the followers of Jesus Christ must do is “to love God with all our heart, with all our soul and with all our mind.” So, understand that we must praise Him in everything and we must love our God with all our heart, soul and with all our mind.

           The reason we are in this world is to praise God in everything we do, in everything we get, and to love our God who created us in His own image. And love Him with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind. This makes our God happy with us as a reason fulfilled why He created us and bring us here in this world.

                                                            Enlightened   People

There are many people who became popular because of knowledge. But do you think knowledge is enough? It may be enough for worldly people but not for enlightened people. Now, the enlightened people are the children of light; those who follows Jesus Christ. Because Jesus is the light of the world. Enlightened are the one who obeyed God.
In the book of Matthew 7:24, “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
Many people get knowledge through their experience from life. And somehow many people learned lessons and get knowledge from their mistakes also.
But the reading bible is only the starting point to gain knowledge, when you read bible you begin to get knowledge. Only reading the word of God is never enough for the followers of Christ. Those who feel proud for being a reader it’s a good thing but there is the things you need to do.
For instance,
My mom told me about one non-believer who is a priest of another religion, who is from my town where I live. He read bible everyday mostly the book of proverbs to gain knowledge. And most important thing is even many Christian do not read bible every day.

That priest although he is not Christian, he read bible because he knows that reading bible can help him to become knowledgeable. But that reading only is not enough for that priest to understand the true things from the bible. And remember one thing, “when we read bible, we are listening the word of God so, we should listen carefully what word of God is saying.” (Proverbs 4:20-22, “My son, pay attention to my words, and listen closely to what I say.
Do not let them out of your sight; keep them within your heart.
For they are life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body.”)
 So, reading is not only enough for Christians. We should listen to God what He is saying and then another thing is to understand the word of God is really very necessary.
There are many ways in this world to get knowledge but for believers it is the word of God. And to understand it is not easy thing. Even believers could not understand the knowledge that only from reading. To read may be easy but to understand is difficult.
And if we can’t understand the right knowledge while reading then it might be dangerous thing for us. So, we must be alert on reading, listening and understanding.
For instance, at my friend’s house I met one women who was a believer. My friend introduced me with her as a pastor. And knowing me as a pastor, she begins to asked question about different matters related to Christianity and debate. She also told me that she went to Israel and stayed there for some months and read bible and she completed reading whole bible.
It was very hard for me to make her understand the right point about her question. The question was, where did Jesus died? I humbly answered her, at “Calvary”. She said, I was wrong. I was shocked and told her any reason for my answer to be wrong. She told me to show the word “Calvary” in bible. I couldn’t show her that word because there is no word “Calvary” in Nepali bible and it is not Nepali language. I tried a lot to make her understand the right point but she was not ready to listen me and was disagree with me because she was a bit kind of stubborn too.
She was saying that you and all pastors of Nepal are wrong, Jesus died in “khappare” not in “Calvary”. I told her do not argue on this thing because you may be doing sin unintentionally by blaming all the pastors of Nepal. so, be careful. At last, I told her, you are also not wrong and I am also not wrong only thing is you are not understanding it. And she was not listening to me, my friend was also disagree with her so, we both just leave her. (Titus3:9, 10, 11 – “But avoid foolish controversies, arguments about genealogies, quarrels, and fights about the law. These things are useless and worthless.
“Have nothing to do with a divisive person after you have warned him once or twice.
“For you know that a person like this is corrupt and keeps on sinning, being self-condemned.”)
Only the reason was, she did not understand the right point because both of us was right and she was blaming all pastors of Nepal.
In Nepal, instead of Nepali word for “the skull”; we used the word Latin “Calvary”. It is the common word that every Nepali Christian use for “the skull.” And that woman read only Nepali bible. And she read all whole Nepali bible only. She doesn’t have knowledge and understanding that the Nepali word “khappare”; English word “the skull”; Hebrew “Golgotha”; Latin  “Calvary” are the same word but the language is different.
So, sometimes we should need to listen others also to understand the right point without hardening our heart. And most important is the power from High to understand the knowledge in right way.
Now, Main work to do
When we get knowledge, then we need to understand in the right way. And after understanding we will be a discerning person but this is also not enough because unless and until you apply all your knowledge and understanding into your life then it is not valuable. When we put all our knowledge and understanding then that it become wisdom. And we are wise person. We need to apply it in our life and pass it to others. When we apply that knowledge by understanding that is wisdom. Those who got wisdom are called as wise.
Proverbs 9:10, “The fear of the LORD is where wisdom begins, and knowing holiness demonstrates understanding.” When we fear the God that means we know knowledge about right and wrong and also its consequences. And that to obey means we put that knowledge by understanding and wisdom is happened. Therefore, the spirit-filled Christian is one who is wise and intensely practical.
In the book of Matthew 7:24, “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
So, built your house on the rock and become wise by hearing the word of God and obeying it. Enlightened are the one who obeyed God.

                 Jesus Christ is Alive
 All Christian, let’s be careful before liking, and doing comment on the post. It is a kind of fashion, that to do like, to comment and to share the posts on different social networking sites. But before reacting, it is best to read carefully and understand the meaning. Sometimes, it so happened that intentionally or unintentionally, we might be wrong against our faith on Jesus.
Here, I am sharing one example that was mistaken by many Christians.

Today, many social networking sites are available.  And many Christian becomes members and do comments and do like for the Christian post. I saw one post from one Christian. I was so sad reading that post. There was written, “Jesus is dead for you, type Amen”. And thousands of members like that post and I click on the comment and saw hundreds of members had typed Amen. Obviously, they all were Christians. I think, the one who post this might be mistaken while typing “dead” but those who read they must seem to read properly. I am not blaming anyone but giving advice only. I don’t know why they were typing amen and liked that post but they are wrong and mistaken about Jesus because for me Jesus is alive. Before liking and typing “amen” we need to read it and understand it. It is really very important to understanding it. The meaning of dead, Definition of dead in English:

Dead
ADJECTIVE
·         No longer alive.
‘a dead body’
as complement ‘he was shot dead by a sniper’
‘there was no time to bury the dead with decency’
deceased, expired, departed, gone, no more, passed on, passed away
And for every Christian, “Jesus is alive.” Yes, once He died for us and He is risen. He is still alive, and those who are spiritually strong can feel Him. In this life also we can feel is presence and we can talk with Him and after we die we will resurrected and will get rewards according to the things done in the body.
In the book of John 11: 25, 26Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.
“And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
Jesus proclaims that, “He is the resurrection and the life”. And He proved it when He rises from dead.
We can found about His resurrection in following bible verses where He was raised and appears to His disciples and to believers.
The book of Matthew, chapter 28; the book of Mark, chapter 16; the book of Luke, chapter 24; the book of John chapter 20.
Those who believe Jesus will also have eternal life.
John 5:21, “For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the son gives life to whom He will”.
Verse 22-23, “For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, that all should honor the son just as they honor the Father, he who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him”.
Jesus gives us eternal life. It begins when human trust Him and is for eternal. Jesus gives life to those whom He wants. We can’t forcefully get that life but only by grace. And in verse 25, we know that even dead can hear voice.
Conclusions:
Jesus is not dead for us; He is risen from the dead. He is still alive and who believes Him and accept Him. He will give us His spirit to dwell among us.
In verse 47, Jesus said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.”
And verse 54, Jesus said, “Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Acts 20:7-12, everyone was comforted when they found a dead Eutychus alive. Then how much we are comforted that the Jesus who died for us is alive today for us.

                    Walking in the Truth
Let’s first examine ourselves; are we walking in the Truth? Are we obedient? Are we making our God and the leaders happy?
In the Third Epistle of John, in verse 4, “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” Here, Apostle John feels happy to know that his spiritual children are walking in truth. Always pastors, elders and leaders feel happy and rejoice when disciples and believers in the church are walking on the Truth. Mostly, I feel happy when those believers who were walking on the wrong tracks towards death and return back to right track towards eternal life.
If the leaders and pastors, become happy extremely when believers walked in the truth. Now, let’s imagine how our heavenly Father may feel? Obviously, God the Father and Jesus Christ will be happy when we walk in the truth.
It hurts pastor when sometimes believers are on wrong way and become disobedient to God. Many believers don’t understand these things. We should learn to understand it. Now let’s talk about the meaning of walking on the truth. What is truth and how to walk in the truth?
#These are the most important things to know:-
[A] Walking in the truth-To know the truth
We all know the verse John 14:6, Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:16-17, “And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-
the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.”
John 16:13, “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.”
[B] Walking in the truth-to be obedient
Very best is to follow the truth who is Jesus Christ. Obedient is because of the love and not because of fear. To say “I love God” is easy but proof will be in action. No love, it means no obedient.
Walking in the truth is to have love in us. Love not only those who loved us but for those also to whom we feel hate. Luke 6:32-33, “But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
“And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.”
But the problem is sin so; people can’t fulfill the great commandments. The reason is people have become selfish from inside; they love only themselves no other.
John 13: 34-35, “And new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
“By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” If we love each other everyone can understand God is with us. Love is the mark of a true disciple. People will see love for one another which will clarify that we are the follower of Jesus Christ.
Many time people they try to pretend that they are a Christian who follows Christ. And they try to be good during fellowship, only inside the church’s building. But in reality their life is different. If we love one another as Jesus loves us then all will know that we are the follower of Jesus Christ.
John 14:15, “If you love me, keep My commandments.” if we love God then we must obey Him and He will give us Holy Spirit. The love in our life will be proof that we are obeying God’s commandments. In John 14:21, “he who has My commandments and keeps them, it is who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” obeying the word of God is to Love Him. Do you know why God command us to Love Him and to obey His word because to give us joy. So, we can have a joy and peace. (John 15:10-11) “If you keep my My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
“These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.”
To love your neighbor is to fulfilling all the law. The summary and conclusion of all commandments comes in this commandment i.e. “love your neighbor like you love yourself”.
[C]Walking in the Truth- Faith which has love in action
 Galatians 5:6, “for in union with the Messiah Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision matters. What matters is faith expressed through love.”
 James 2:14, “what good does it do, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith but does not prove it with actions? This kind of faith cannot save him, can it? I have faith only saying is not enough. Faith should be proving itself with actions. One friend of mine, he always say to me, “how much I have faith in God, I know you can’t understand it.” But his action of faith doesn’t suit to his faith in God.
James 2:17, “in the same way, faith by itself, if it does not prove itself with actions, is dead.
[D]Walking in the Truth-learn to forgive
Col. 3:15, “Be tolerant of one another and forgive each other if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, you also should forgive.”
We want forgiveness, then we must to learn to forgive, we everybody may have demerits, which other are enduring so, others demerits also we need to endure. Love will cover all the multitude sin. Love never sees other sin and blame. So, love each other very deeply. 1 Peter 4:8, “Above all, continue to love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins.”
Conclusion:-So, let’s walk in the truth and let the world know that we are the Disciples of Christ. Always our thought must be how we can love other and how we can encourage other (Hebrews 10:24, “And let us continue to consider how to motivate one another to love and good deeds”). Don’t left behind anyone, together we are strong not alone. And let us walk in the truth through actions so; we can have joy in full. Let us become the example of the truth which is our Lord Jesus Christ. And let us make our God happy. And let us make our pastor and leaders also feel happy. So let’s change our thoughts that when we are obedient to God and walking in truth, not only it makes God happy but also to our leaders and pastors of the church because, pastors are given from God to feed His people in the church, Jeremiah 3:15, “And I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.” So, pastor who feeds the God’s people with God’s knowledge and understanding will be happy when he/she knows, they are walking in the truth.
