Three Aspects of Love in Your Marriage
(Copyright 2022) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) 1. Love expresses appreciation:There is a whole book on married love that God has included in the Bible – the Song of Solomon. Consider what the husband says to his wife here in Song of Solomon (from various verses in the Message Bible): “You’re beautiful, my dear love, from head to toe – beautiful beyond compare and absolutely flawless. You’re as lovely as the ravishing visions of my ecstasy. Your voice is soothing, and your face is ravishing. Your beauty, within and without, is absolute, my dear friend. You’re a paradise.” “You’ve captured […]
All Goes Well with the Godly
(Copyright) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) Every step of your future life will be guided by God – if you decide to be a godly person. It is the one who honours God who gets the best in life – not the clever one, or the rich one, or the genius, or the one who gets lucky breaks in life. All insecurity regarding the future comes when we do not choose godliness as a way of life. So, decide to honour God at all times. He will then give you the best spiritually, and at the same time, all that is necessary […]
Living for The Glory of God
(Copyright) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) “To Him are all things” (Rom. 11:36). God is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning, and the End, the First and the Last. And so, as all things of an eternal nature originate in Him, they find their consummation in Him too. All things were created by God to bring glory to Him. This is not because God selfishly desires our glory. He is completely self-sufficient in Himself, and there is nothing that we can offer Him that can add to His sufficiency. When He calls us to seek His glory, it is […]
Attitude of Gratitude
(Copyright) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) God preserved my life when I was tossed from my moped onto the railway track one day in August 1993. The person operating the railway-gate was a novice and lowered the second bar before I had crossed it and so it hit me on the chest and knocked me down. I lay on the railway track, unconscious for a while – I don’t know for how long. Someone picked me up before any train came along. I now feel like one who has come back from the dead (for my fall could have been […]
Becoming a Blessing to Others
(Copyright) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) In Matthew 14:19, we see the three steps to becoming a blessing to others: (1) Jesus took ALL the loaves and fish;(2) He blessed them; and(3) He broke them. “It is only as you also allow the Holy Spirit to break the strength of your own will that you will become spiritual.” Then the multitude was fed. This is how the Lord wants to make you a blessing to others too. You have to give Him everything first, as the little lad there did. Then He will bless you with the power of the Holy Spirit. Then He will break you through many […]
Fulfil Your Specific Ministry Effectively
(Copyright) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) In the Old Testament, the prophets spoke about a remnant among God’s people. They spoke about how in a time of spiritual decline among God’s people, there would be a few who would remain faithful to God. The theme of the Prophets was restoration. “The more we come into fellowship with God’s heart, the more we will share His burden.” For example, Hosea spoke about spiritual adultery and God’s unchanging love. Habakkuk spoke about the conflict of faith and triumph of faith. Zechariah’s burden was the movement of God’s people from Babylon to Jerusalem. Haggai’s burden […]
