Someone expanded the acronym BUSY as “Being under Satan’s yoke”. Hope we are not caught up in that rut race of being busy all the time in life. Being busy for the Lord is one thing, but often we are busy for some thing else. E.Stanley Jones said like this about Paul in Phil 3:13.For Paul it is one thing but for the modern day Christians it is forty things to dabble in. Are we focused in spite of all our busy schedules? If not lets pause for a while and ask Gods strength to slow down our lives and to be focused in what we do.Isaiah30:15b says “… In quietness and trust is your strength” . Let God alone provide the tranquility that’s needed in our lives. Thinking of Missions lets dwell on Gods word in the following lines... Let’s ask ourselves, Am I called to do the things which I cannot do? Am I so weak to face the giants in life? (Read Judges 6) Are we truly living for what God has called us to do? Heb10:23b …For he who promised is faithful. So let’s not give up professing our hope i

What we are today is based on who we are in Christ. When the world says everything is going on a loss, those who trust God says we gain Christ. Today the world economy is going on a toss in the real scenario. People are loosing their grounds in their employment, finances, security and that is making a greater havoc and severe repercussion on the individual and corporate lives.

There is so much of disorientation happening in and around the lives of people. People have lost the order and discipline in earning, saving and in giving. Where is hope or in other words where is God in all such hopeless situations? Is he in control? Psalm 24:1 says “The earth is the Lords and everything in it belongs to him

As some one said this acronym B-I-B-L-E stands for Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. There are instructions in the Bible to be heeded before we leave this earth. Paul writing to the Colossian believers in Col 4:2-6 we can see four succinct instructions given to the believing community. Let God speak to our hearts as we ponder these verses.  PRAYER - vs. 2-4  WISDOM – vs. 5  TIME – vs. 5b  WORDS – vs.6 Firstly Paul makes emphasis on prayer for the gospel to be advanced not only among Jews but to the Gentile world. He pleads the believers to pray for him who is in chains and also to pray for his fellow co-workers (vs3) that the doors be opened for the message to spread across. He wants then mystery which is now been revealed in Christ to be spoken everywhere. Paul a missional leader gives more importance to prayer in this context. If you could observe in all of these 5 verses first 3 verses talks about only prayer. He also says in Eph 6:18 keep on praying for all the saints. P
