Two are better than one

Image
  Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. In 1904 there was an exhibition going on in St. Louis in Mizzouri. It was a summer and it was very hot, that many people went to an ice cream shop to have a cool ice cream.   The shop was owned by Arnold. He never expected such a large crowd and all his paper cups meant for serving ice cream vanished in no time. He was so disappointed because he did not know how to serve customers ice creams without cups. In the next shop a man was selling wafers and his business was so dull. He saw Arnold suffering for lack of paper cups. Immediately a business thought came to him, that he used his wafer flour and made cone shaped cups and gave it to the ice cream shop. They started serving ice cream in cone cups. Both made good money because there was very good sales that day. This is the story of cone ice cream. There is more power in our joint prayers and joint ministries too. Our bible says a man can chas...

Wake Up Call

Image
  An American went to Scotland.   He was walking with his Scottish friend through a beautiful mountainous area.   The Scottish friend produced a sound.   The same sound was echoed 4 minutes later.   He asked the American friend if that was possible in American mountains.   He replied this is not a surprise.   Whenever I go to bed I will open my window and shout towards a mountain far away, “It’s time to wake up” then go to sleep.   Exactly eight hours later the same sound will come back to wake me up. This may be a joke.   But we need a sound, a wakeup call to wake us up in Christian life. It is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.   The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

Be Focused

Image
  Before modern instruments and equipment’s are invented, the sailors used to keep two magnet needles.   One will be kept in the people’s deck.   The other will be kept at a very high level on a post.   One among the sailor used to climb up and note down the direction that the magnetic needle is showing.   At the same time they will ignore the direction of the magnetic needle kept at the lower level because it is affected by iron of the ship’s body and other items. In our Christian run also we must keep our eyes on Jesus, if we give importance to other people around us we may lose the focus.   Always read the word of God and follow the instructions given to taste a victorious life.

Redemptively used

Image
  Disadvantages in life usually keep us humble and obedient. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was one of the most godly and successful American Presidents. He had a difficult childhood. His formal schooling was for less than a year. He failed in business in 1831 and was defeated for the legislature in 1832. The next year he again failed in business. His finance died in 1835. He was defeated for speaker in 1838. When he got married, his wife became a burden for him. Only one of his four sons lived past age 18. He was defeated for congress, Senate and vice-presidency. But he was elected as President in 1860! There is no one without failures in this world. For those who love God no failure is final. Failures, crises, suffering, losses, disappointments and such things belong to the same category. In the providence of God, all these can be redemptive if used to learn obedience. Why does God take us through difficult and depressing situations? Hebrews 12:9 seems to give the most sati...
