GHG SHORT DEVOTIONALS - 18 (BE FILLED WITH THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST)

Acts 3:8  And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

A certain man who was lame from his mother's womb entered into the temple walking by himself praising God. He received the healing through Peter.

1. There were many who were outside the church without knowing the true God, struggling and limping with pain and hurt. You are called by God to lead them to salvation and bring them into God's fold.

To do that, what you need?

Acts 3:6 (NKJV)  Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk."

2. You need not have material or financial blessings but all you need is the fullness of Christ in your life to bring change into someone's life for the glory of God.

What you should do to have the fullness of Christ in you?

3. Save yourself from this perverse,  untoward and ungodly generation (Acts 2:40) Do not yield yourself into worldly temptation. Stand out for God and Godly things.

4. When you have the fullness of Christ, you will have the faith that comes through Him.(Acts 3:16)Through the faith God gives, you can bring God's healing into the lives of others.

May God use you for His glory and may you carry the fullness of Christ within you all the days of your life.

GHG SHORT DEVOTIONALS - 17 (GOD WANTS YOU TO RETURN BACK TO HIM)

Luke 15:4 “ What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?”

1.      God’s heart aches for you. The aching Jesus has that you should not perish in the hands of devil whom you have chosen, rejecting Jesus; the aching He has, seeing the condition of your mind which is tormented by evil thoughts; the aching He has, knowing that you have lost all the peace in your heart – this aching is much more than the joy and happiness He has for the spiritual people who stand in and with Him.

How long will the shepherd look for the lost sheep? It is beautifully said in Luke 15:4. It is not just from morning to night, it is not for a day or two, and it is not for some time alone. Bible says, the shepherd will search for the sheep till he finds it.

2.      The only longing of God’s heart is that you have to repent. His hands are stretched towards you even at this moment. He longs for you to return back to Him because you belong to Him, and only to Him.

What will a shepherd do after finding the sheep? Luke 15:5 “And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.”

If you think with your logical mind, we may find so many ways to bring back the lost sheep. 1. It can be carried on the hip, 2. It can be carried in the arms, 3. It can be brought back by putting a thread on its neck and holding the thread by hand or 4. It can be brought by means of beating with a stick (It’s right to do that as the sheep went astray). But what does Jesus Christ, the good shepherd do? Luke 15:5 says that He will carry it on His shoulders.

3.      Even today God loves you so much. If you surrender yourself to Him, He will give you back all that you have lost. You will be used for His glory. Before it becomes too late, return to Jesus.

GHG SHORT DEVOTIONALS - 16 (BELIEVE IN GOD'S PROMISES)

Then the Lord said to Moses: "How long will these people reject Me? And how long will they not believe Me, with all the signs which I have performed among them? - Numbers 14:11 

When the people of Israel heard that the people who were in Canaan were like giants they were afraid and wept badly. They believed the false reports gave by few men who went to spy the land. They felt that it would be better if they go back to Egypt.

1.   You might be going through wilderness and you might feel like God’s promises were so far from getting fulfilled. Don’t get discouraged by looking at the situations and problems that are prevailing around you. Believe what God has said to you and look at the ways that God has led you beautifully in the past. God who brought you out of slavery will carry you to the Promised Land.

2.   Sometimes you may face wilderness between your past and the God’s promise that is ahead of you. But then God can change the wilderness a pool of water and the dry land springs of water. He will do that in your life too. The situations and troubles that you are facing today will definitely change.

What you should do to receive God’s blessings?

“because all these men who have seen My glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have put Me to the test now these ten times, and have not heeded My voice" - Numbers 14:22

God place a threshold on that day before the people of Israel. He says whoever tested Him more than ten times will not enter the Promised Land. What a sad situation! May be someone would have tested God just more than once than the threshold that God has placed before them but then even they would not have entered the promised land.

3.   Sometimes we lose our faith upon God and His promises. But then remember that we should not test our God. During the time of tribulations and trials, do not speak anything against God.

4.   God has a threshold and we never knew what is the threshold that God has for us. You can’t continue to dwell in sin for longer saying God’s grace will last longer in your life. If you are away from God, return to Him immediately. Because God wants to use you mightily for His glory.
