Testimonies
Faith - The Key of Hope, Courage and Happiness.
While Going through the Section of Faith Writers Testimony Contest which already held in 2013.
I Found These Three Topics and God Inspired me to write on this and share my Testimony and God's inspiration.
Coming to Faith
Faith Under Fire
You Inspired me
As far as the First Topic ,I would say that being born in a Christian Family I do not felt that enthusiasm,Passion Which is there in a Person who found the Happiness coming to eccept Jesus by breaking the barriers of his earlier faith or life in which he was living.
Coming in faith like a Treasure which a man found ,as Jesus had told this story to multitudes.
Matthew 13:44-47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
This is The State of Mind of a person Who accept Jesus as his savior.
That's what I think ,there may be other things which one might think of.
Though I have born in a Christian family,I never felt that kind of amazing feeling or excitement.
I should not ashamed of saying That We who were born in a Christian family think that we are Christian the chosen people and have that proud ,but have forgotten what is the Meaning of being as Christian.
To Attend Church and having prayer meeting , taking the holy sacrament , Listening to religious songs and Celeberating Christmas or Easter does not make us stand in the Chosen People row and Guarantee for our Salvation.
It could be the reason when our forefathers was converted to Christianity ,could have any reason ,but because they have not followed the paths of Christ ,they Followed the path of a religion ,which now I think Christianity is not a religion ,it's called a relationship and reconciliation with God.
Coming out of the church and started behaving like a worldly person who is more interested in Worldly life can not be called as a Christian,we have not even moved our feet an inch to follow Christ ,how can we say we will carry his cross. thats what the scenerio in my Family which I have seen and in most of relatives and Christian families live their lives.
What Jesus said in Matthew 7:23 “ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
I have never understood the true meaning of a believer who have faith in Christ until God shaked me.
And that was the time I realized yes it's a treasure an amazing treasure ,which can not be find easily until God reveal it's location in your mind and in your heart .
The joy and extreame happiness and satisfaction you can not Experience like that,you won't get untill it will be poured out from heaven on you.
And now I realize that how a person who comes in faith feel like.
Going to Second and Third Topic which is very closely related to my life.
The Second one which says the “faith under fire”.
It's like untill you will not cross that red Sea you will not realize.
Red Sea is an example of our lives ,the sea which was in front of those Isrelites who just released from the bondage of slavery and again there was a huge sea and couldn't find a way to cross it as the Pharoah's military was behind them.
The situation was like “Get caught in date bushes while falling off to ground”.
That's what happened in most of people lives and the sane thing happened in my life.
It is my Testimony which I want to share with you.
It starts when I was working as a Warehouse in charge in a Multinational company in 2001.
Suddenly after few months i had a viral and soon it became a serious health problem in which I have lost my memory,there was about 5 percent chances for me to survive.
My wife and most if in the family was praying for me ,and God healed me and he brought me back from the gates of death.
I give Praise to God because he gave me a second life,but the problems did not ends here I had lost my job and all of my savings were finished and have got a huge financial debts on my head because of Not having earnings.
I have tried everywhere but nobody gave me job,at that time when I was going for interview I see that somebody walking along with me and laughing at me.
I used to speak to him like Oh Satan you are here and want to Break my hope,but you will not succeed. It remained there almost a year.
Now it was a time when I was going through terrible financial crises,my wife was only the earning member,but her salary was not sufficient to fulfill the family needs.at that time not even a single relative of mine helped me or encouraged me.
I have given my Bank account details in my Provident Fund Account from the company from where I lost my job.
One fine day I got a letter from my bank stating that my account will be closed , because from a long time there is no transactions in the account, the date given was 30th Of the month.
When I read that letter,my Hope was on the verge of dying ,on that day one guy came from bank for collecting the loan EMI,I told him the situation,and I have told him I will check my account and will call him later if the funds will be there in my account.
On the very same day's evening I went to the ATM.when I enter and was standing in Front of ATM Machine,I said “Jesus I know that in my account the balance us Nil,but I put this Card in the machine in Your mighty name.” somewhere in my heart that my hope was taking his last Breath.
It was beyond my imagination what I saw when a slip came out of the ATM machine ,there was 80,000 thousand rupees in my account from the last one week.
As scripture says in Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Also Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
My whole body was shaked ,and my body was having goosebumps,I was literally crying of that miracle which Jesus did for me.
Whenever I think about that moment it creates goosebumps in my body.
By this God proved me that he is always with me he never left me nor dismayed me,as per the scripture.
God would never give us what He knows would harm us.
He help us and develop Christ like qualities in us so that we become salt and light in the world (Matthew 5:13–14). God does not want us to see Him as a heavenly source of mere material possessions.
Acquiring things is not the fundamental goal of this life.
Some people says it a coincidence,or Strange thing ,but it was a miracle for me.
It happened not once or twice but so many times which is uncountable.
God again provided a no for me ,but as the scriptures says when we start prioritising our worldy lives and secondary to God ,then God again wants us back to him and that's what happened ,again I lost my job at the time when it was most required when my kids were growing.
And now since 2013 I don't have job but God takes care of my and my family needs.
Every day is blessed day for me ,every day every moment is a blessing and Miracle from him.
Once I again I woul like to mention the same thing ,that in our lives we are standing in front of that red Sea and after us is Pharoah's army,but It's God Who is always present there with you along with his Rod and staff to protect you from all the trespass Lay a table in front of our enemies.
You Inspire me -
Inspiration can be from anything ,some people inspired by Celebrities,Nature etc etc.
For me the inspiration is My God Yahweh and Jesus Yahshua ,this is what I am writing and written couple of articles only because of him.
He Inspired me.
I am not an writer or Author,the day he anointed me with his holy spirit he gave me this gift of writing,the more I prayed him the more he took me deep of those scriptures and guided me what to write.
It's because of his grace that he Inspired me to share his words with his people,Jesus said Matthew 5:15, Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
The Massage is that ,we should not loose hope in any circumstances ,we should not discouraged by devil's intention of creating negativity in our mind.
Instead we should prepare and put all the Weapons of God to defeat the enemy . (Ephesians 6:11-18)
Be of Good Courage And Trust on God's words.he will be with you always as he said (Matthew 28:20).
