The 10 Commandments Series: Idolatry

 Read: Exodus 20:4-6

This commandment doesn't only mean making idols of mud, clay, gold, silver and etc., but it means not to make anything more important than God. According to the dictionary, idolatry means "too much love or admiration to someone or something." We do a lot of things in our day to day life. But, have we ever questioned ourself, how many activities or the stuff have we idolized?

The times are changing, and a numerous number of fascinating gadgets/stuff are being invented on a daily basis. And we may be so into them we unknowingly keep them as our top priority. Doesn't necessarily have to be a thing, it could be a person or an activity. It is not ones fault, it is human nature to do so.

We should not consider these things more important than God because once we make them more important than God then we will start spending the time with them rather than God. If we give more time to them then it will be like we are worshipping, which then leads to idolizing which is against the law.

You may have noticed, as you grow closer to God, the more satan will put these things in our life to tempt us, but we have to just ignore these temptations and just move on. 

It is difficult to ignore these things, but remember one thing that these things like phone, car, etc. are given to us by God alone and you should not use it over him or consider it more important than God. Matthew 18:18 says, Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

So, let us not idolize the creation over the Creator, but instead, use the creation for the Creator. Amen & God Bless.

Road Trip Of Life

Road Trip Of Life Read: Matthew 16:24-26 Then Jesus went to work on his disciples. “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat;  I  am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?  (MSG Version)     We all have been on road trips if not at least a long journey only on road. There are ups and downs in every journey. So is it with a believer? With many tensions and problems to face (no one can say they haven't been through one or will not go through because being a believer is not easy. But do not be discouraged by that but remember after every pain comes with a reward). Every believer has a journey but the destination is the same to be a part of his kingdom. Some maybe Job's, ...

Last Saying Of Christ: 7th Saying Read: Luke 23:46        Jesus's seventh word on the cross was  (Luke 23:46 ) And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, he said: "Father into your hands I commit my spirit .”   Here, Jesus is willingly giving up His soul into the Father’s hands, indicating that He was about to die – and that God had accepted His sacrifice. He “offered up Himself unblemished to God” ( Hebrews 9:14 ).   w hen we see Je sus die, we see two things: the  price paid  to bring us to glory; and the  example given  for how we are to get there. So let's learn from Jesus how to die, by focusing on  Luke 23:44–46 .  These were the final word said by our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. We have many lessons to learn from this; the first one is that "Death is a way to eternal life" this means that though he is going to the grave he will reign all eternity likewise when we die our bodies may go to the grave but o...

Gods Plan Is Much Greater Than Our Plans

Gods Plan Is Much Greater Than Our Plans Read: Isaiah 55:3       God has greater plans for us which are beyond our imagination. Isaiah 55:3 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.", says that God's thoughts and ways are not the same as our thoughts and ways but His thoughts are much bigger than ours as He knows and holds our future in His hands. If we allow God's will to be done in our life we will prosper. But if we deny it and go with our plans some or the other way God will bring us back to His plan again and from that moment, there is no turning back. In 2 Samuel 7, God made a covenant with David. But, David was feeling bad because the Ark Of The Covenant was in a tent and he was in a palace. So he had decided to build a temple of God to keep Ark in it. But God wanted David's son Solomon to build the temple. Do you know why God had rejected David to build the temple?  God had rejected ...
