Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #26 : "I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD." (Gen.49:18).

Ѧ℘☺﹩☂◎łḯ¢ €ϰ℘øüηḓ : Actually in context, this is a word of prophecy and blessing that Jacob spoke over His sons just moments before he died. When he actually spoke the prophetic word over His son Dan and how their descendants will be like in the end times. The content of the prophetic word is a prophecy that Dan will judge the nation as one of the tribes of Israel (Gen 49:16). Yet because of some strong prophetic rebuke succeeding the promise (Gen 49:17), it seemed that this tribe will cease to exist before God in the future. True to the saying, when John describes the tribes of Israel who will be sealed before the end time Tribulation starts, he left the name of the trible of Dan completely from it (Rev 7:4-8). Then the question comes up, then how can God's prophecy that they will judge his people as one of the twelve tribes can be fulfilled in the future Millenial Kingdom on earth?

The answer to this has been clearly given by God in the immediate next verse that says, "I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD." (Gen.49:18). In other words, God wanted them to trust in the promise of God to keep them safe even up to the time of His Millenial Kingdom and keep expecting from the Lord to sustain them through hard times. Exactly according to this promise, God added their name again in the list of the tribes in the time of the Millenial Kingdom which he gave through Ezekiel the prophet (Ezek 48:1-8, 22-29). Through the time of the GREAT TRIBULATION, even though the tribe of Dan will not be sealed on their forehead during the this time for a special protection to keep them alive, God will keep His Promise because all of them will wait for the Messiah to come and save them from getting extinct forever. God will keep on His promises and strengthen those who will look to Him through their tough times, till his appointed time will come to pass.

In our spiritual life, God saved us once and for all time when we received Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior of our life. Then He sealed us with His Holy Spirit as a gurantee of keeping us saved till the day we will be resurrected in our BRAND NEW GLORIOUS BODY (Eph 1:13-14). But in between the time we are saved to the time we go on to be with Jesus forever, there will surely be times of great struggles that will come to us. During those times we should not look to ourselves but to God who strengthen us with His supernatural strength and who has also promised us that we who have come to Him for refuge in to His mighty hand will never ever be snatched out of it by any any demons, sin, sickness or even death (John 10:27-30; Rom 8:38-39). GOD IS FAITHFUL EVEN WHEN WE ARE FAITHFLESS TO HIM (2 Tim 2:13), BUT WE NEED TO ACCEPT THAT WE ARE WEAK BEFORE HIM IN HUMILITY AND LOOK TO HIS PROMISES RATHER THAN OUR FEELIINGS TO REACH THE DESTINATION WHICH HE HAS PREPARED FOR US. When we keep waiting for God's salvation we will sail through through the hurdles by God's grace with out getting in to any hidden snares of the devil and reach the destination safely. God only works for those who wait for him. Much Blessings.......

Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #25 : "Keep yourselves in the love of God." (Jude.21).

Ѧ℘☺﹩☂◎łḯ¢ €ϰ℘øüηḓ : When you get married to the love of your life, how do you maintain the fire of the love with which you have loved your spouse in the early days of your married life, when you have newly got married and fallen in love with each other passionately? It is a simple decision of living to please your sweet heart in all things which will keep the flame of love burning. In today's world, most marriages fail because both the spouses do not even think of the needs of others and much less think about living a life pleasing to their spouses.

When a family disintegrates it starts first with the spiritual life of a man or a woman. God has instituted the husband and wife to become one in the One who holds them together in a spirtually unbreakable covenant of love in Himself (Matt 19:4-6). Spiritual intimacy between God, husband and wife is a Love triangle and a three fold cord of deep unconditional selfless Love that cannot be broken (Eccl 4:12).

True intimacy between a husband and wife develops not just in physical intimacy, but in a spiritual intimacy that goes beyond getting or giving satisfaction to each other. The foundation of a society that keeps it strong and joyful in this life on earth depends upon how much of God is present in each of the family in a nation. A nation is as strong as its families put together. We cannot say we love our spouse and keep flirting with another woman or man. If there is no action behind the words we speak, it is all a empty lip-service which has no real value in real life situations. Jesus said to his followers, "...He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” (John 14:21). Like in our earthly life and family, if we want a strong and a glorious relationship with God for now and for eternity ahead, we ought to have the commandments of Jesus in our heart and keep them constantly in our mind in order to allow it to influence our actions because of our love towards God. If we stick on to this basic, we will keep ourselves in the Love of God by LOVING JESUS WITH ALL OUR HEART and will truly experience the Love of God abundantly in our lives. Jesus has promised that when his followers love him, God will love them and Jesus Himself will love them and will shows his favour, grace and his strong fire of His love in their heart which will bring a heavenly joy in to their heart. THOSE WHO ARE IN LOVE WITH JESUS ARE THE MOST SERENE, TRANQUIL AND PEACEFUL PEOPLE YOU CAN FIND ON THIS PLANET EARTH, WHY DON'T YOU CHOOSE TO BE ONE! Wishes and Blessings....
