A message by Bro. Sunil Korah about the two different paths that is laid in front of us, the path that leads to the Narrow Gate and the path which leads to the Broad Gate.
The Narrow gate is hard and difficult but it leads to eternal life but the Broad Gate is easy and includes all the pleasures of the world but it leads to destruction.
As Christians, we need to choose the gate we want to follow.

“You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4 This verse of scripture is one of the most popularly quoted among Christians, it’s right up there with the likes of John 3:16 (“God so loved the world”) and 1 Timothy 1:7 (“God has not given us a spirit of fear”).
A motivational verse for fearless living in a broken and unjust world. Whether it’s dealing with a bad boss, an unfaithful friend, a critic, or with some unmet life goal, this verse is used to encourage Christians that they can overcome any perceived obstacle in their life. When we dwell on this verse, we also need to realize that the Apostle John has a very specific purpose in mind for this statement. It has nothing to do with bad bosses, unfaithful friends, or life dreams. Rather, John tries to assure the believer that they have overcome the false prophets he introduces in verse 1: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.” Keep your eyes peeled and hearts wise to the context of scripture that this scripture holds. It demolishes the lies and unscriptural and baseless advise and teachings we get from those who are not of the spirit, it’s a truthful warning to make us wise in dealings with false teachers around us.
Greater is He that is in us than the one in the world. Trust and grow in intimacy with the One who is greater and dwells in us, and test everything else to see if it is from God, demolish it once it fails the litmus test of the Spirit of God.
We will overcome with Him. Let His Light shine through us and expose every falsity in the hearts of every man, believer and unbeliever alike, and make us the holy and pleasing Living Sacrifice
God wants to open a door for the hurting and people in trouble Hosea 2:15 NLT I will return her vineyards to her and transform the Valley of Trouble[a] into a gateway of hope. She will give herself to me there, as she did long ago when she was young, when I freed her from her captivity in Egypt. Are we ready to cater to Gods Requirement
Numbers 35:6 “Six of the towns you give the Levites will be cities of refuge, where a person who has accidentally killed someone can flee for safety. In addition, give them forty-two other towns.
3 things to have in CTRR
– Ready to accept anyone and not accuse them and be more understanding
– Cover them with Love as how God put back peter in his position even though he denied him
– We should be a place of hope to the people who are broken and in trouble.
“Elisha replied to her, “How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “Your servant has nothing here at all,” she said, “Except a little oil.” Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbours for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few. Then go inside and shut the doors behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars and as each is filled, put it to one side.” She left him and afterwards shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing. She went and told the man of God and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.” (2 Kings 4:2-7)
Just as Elisha had told the widow and her sons to gather empty jars and fill it with oil, Jesus told His disciples to go into all the world baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. As long as the widow had empty jars, her supply of oil expanded to fill them. The availability of the Holy Spirit expanded beyond Israel to meet the worldwide need, and from then, till now, and until His time comes, every new believer receives the Holy Spirit. There is always enough for each one and there always will be, as long as His people come. Our debts are paid, sins are forgiven, our appointment with slavery cancelled, and we will never be indebted again. When all the jars the widow and her sons had collected were filled, the oil stopped flowing.
The widow and her sons were set for life. We too are set forever, and the oil will keep flowing until all His sheep are gathered and are set in eternity with the Savior. So in your service to the Savior King, keep that oil flowing till He says there are no more jars for you to fill.
Be a blessing you were called to be, forget the follies of people, and of the world, and keep going, fiercely complete the task at hand, and don’t put a stumbling block in each other’s way, else we discredit our ministry to the people of God.
Praise the Lord! Pastor Blessen gave a sermon about a closed tomb completely without hope and how God works and moves beyond our expectation.
Three days after the burial of Jesus Christ, his disciples ran to the tomb, they expected a closed tomb, but God resurrected just as how he said he would.
We may be facing a closed-door situation in our lives, we may be facing complete hopelessness, be assured that our God can break those barriers in our lives, he has a future for us and He promises he will be with us forever.
All Glory to God
