““I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”” 1 Corinthians 1:19 Mankind has spent every year of its existence gaining and amassing more and more knowledge about everything in the universe, its functioning and remains bent on cracking the code of creation. While we keep coming closer to understanding the process and synergy of creation, we fail to understand its purpose and are even more baffled by the source of all creation. While we are able to clone creatures, we are unable to resolutely create a zygote. While we alter DNA we are unable to figure out why a baby’s personality ends up like his great grandfather whom he has never even met. God will simply frustrate us in this pursuit. “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”
James 1:5 But here is a God who has all creation just thought out in His beautiful mind, and put into motion by a Word, too complex to comprehend with our understanding, and yet so simple to embrace in our heart.
The ones He personally handcrafted are desperate to find the cause and effect without seeking the answer right inside of them. Hence, the foolish ones stop looking to the physical for answers as it’s too difficult to grasp, and take a look upwards. And how generously God gives to all who just ‘ask’, and without finding a single fault, He will give it you. Our God wants to be found, and He wants to share the mysteries of His creation and the purpose of our placement in this space time continuum. He wants to tell us how much He loved us and did all this just to make us comfortable. His model is perfect and will only be understood by those who seek His wisdom while He destroys every other form of wisdom that holds itself above Him. In our worship, we may not be able to answer the specific questions of the intelligent and humanly wise who enter, or of those who don’t understand, or misunderstand our God, but we can show them this Love and Wisdom that He has given the foolish and proud vessels as us, and the experience of the Holy Spirit that cannot be boxed or explained in words.
Let our worship mirror the God of all creation so they will see that all answers lie in waiting in the embrace of a Father who has not counted their faults, and will never remember them once He has written them off. Our life, soul, power, our stand and destiny and boast is in the One who was there from the beginning and waits for us until the end, in Christ alone.
Do we know the importance of the presence of God? Sometimes we make it so casual but God who promised never to leave nor forsake us is ready to meet us. How should we come?. We shouldn’t be so lightly treating Him that way because this is not a club or social gathering but a time to allow God to manifest himself. Just the same way we dedicate so much time to prepare reports at work is the same way we should prepare ourselves for God. “Take my presence so personally and carefully, says the Spirit of God”.
There are certain things we should know and have in mind when we come into the presence of God. We were all born with a purpose from God. Our callings may be different but we all should approach Him the same way. He doesn’t change from person to person.

“Come” – God personally calls each one of us to come into his presence. Sis. Rani testifies on behalf of Sis. Radikha how God helped her to fight cancer because she chose to run to God instead of relying on the world, we can clearly see how God worked in her life. The only question we should ask ourselves is, are we hungry?
God is ready to pour out from the river of his pleasures, he wants to give us, 1. Inner Nourishment 2. Spiritual Satisfaction 3. Everlasting Life all he wants is for us to go to him, Let us take a stand today, Let us run to him, he always going to provide, He is the same Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, Let us be in full submission Go to him.
Praise the Lord! “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.” Psalms 118:26 As Jesus entered Jerusalem for that last Passover feast, Psalm 118 would have been on worshipers’ minds as a homecoming parade begins at the city gates. By verse 26, the parade makes its way to the temple, from which they call down a blessing on the returning, conquering King. And that parade climaxes with the offering of a sacrifice at the feast, a substitute for everyone. God is building His righteous up around the cornerstone of their King (v. 22-24), and the Lamb must be sacrificed in their place so they can sing and shout, “You are my God…You are my God” (v. 28).
Jesus Himself becomes a sacrifice so that you and I can rejoice in the day the Lord made, our King must die. His distress brought you and I a song. He died, so you and I could live. He was disciplined, so you and I could become sons and daughters of the Most High God. As we come together with our offering, remember our God turned every distress into a song, He didn’t hold back anything, including Himself.
So let’s not hold back as we sing and rejoice in our King who became our sin, so we could have His salvation.
Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord Adonai! “Baruch Haba B’shem”!
God bless!
Man was created to administer the Kingdom. God has finished the work we are supposed to do and so it’s us to align ourselves with the potential within us to be productive and successful. God creates, causes the rain to fall, but it’s our responsibility to cultivate. We should not worry about our lives, God has worked it out for us. Our success in managing the environment, having dominion, subdue and be fruitful makes God successful and to look good.
