Wake Up Call

 


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.

Worry Box

  Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain thee. A manager of a company often come across big problems.   This gave him lot of worry.   To stop worrying about his problem, he did something.   He made a worry box.   He used to write down his problem that gave him worry and put it inside the worry box.   After putting inside the worry box he will force himself to stop worry about that problem.   After a week when he opened the worry box most of his problems were already solved.   Dear children of God we do have a worry box.   Put everything inside that worry box and you can stay calm and cool to watch those problems getting solved.   Yes dears, Jesus is our Worry Box.

Life changing power

Image
  A group of well-educated social service activist went to a tribal village. They have to walk through forests for a long distance to arrive at the village. To their surprise they saw a small boy reading a book. They went near him and asked what he was reading. Again to their surprise the boy replied that he was reading the Bible. One among them replied to the boy that reading the Bible personally is not relevant to their lives today because it was written two thousand years ago and today's life has changed so much. The boy replied to them, true sir the world has changed so much but if my villagers were not taught to read by few people who came here years ago and if our people had not read the Bible, by now they would have surrounded you and killed all of you and preparing to cook and eat you all. This book I am reading today saved your lives and changed our lives too.  The power of Jesus' love and the power of the Word of God are so GREAT.
