9 . I AM NOT I AM

Dear Friends,

My heartful New Year wishes to you all.

I am very happy to come to you with the theme "I am not I am".

In this context, I took a seed and I fell for the idea that how did such a small seed turn into a giant tree? I know that it is the work of God but what will be the change in evolution? Did everything happen automatically?

No! If you look carefully It bursts. In other words, it's dead. If the seed thinks that I am what I am, then where we will have a tree .. the fruit?  The seed has to go into the ground, it has to break and die. Then it starts to sprout and bears fruit on the tree. It is not unknown to us but it is now well understood why Jesus many times applied this context to our lives. 

"John 12:24. I tell you the truth unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds."

"1 Corinthians 15:36.  How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies."

• We have to change. What use if ever unchanged? If we think never mind then what's the point of a seed that is not sown?

Many years have gone by beyond us. But no one knows when our journey will end and neither will we know when the Lord will come. And when the Lord gives us the opportunity, not to stay where we are, will we not need to follow in the footsteps of the Almighty and protect ourselves?

• It does not need anything when it is a seed. But care is needed only when it changes its form. It requires Water, proper soil, and light. If we are in the same condition as before, it will not seem wrong to do anything when we follow the world. There is no happiness as well. There will be no fruit. In other words, it is of no use at all.

• When we too change our life and become in the form of Christ, then this life of despair will end. The joy that awaits will clear our eyes. If we are in our Lord's company, we are Like a fruitful vine also like a tree planted by the streams of water. The care we need is the same as the plant ... Talking to the Lord and listening to Him, means praying and meditate the word of God.

• How happy with Him we will be in His association my friends... No matter what we have or not in the world it seems to feel good enough to talk to Him only. Because he is the only one who can support us in our loneliness in the tears of adversity and the one who touches us in His own arms. He is the only one who can guarantee life now as well as after it is over.

• If this change happens when a small seed falls to the ground and dies... If ego dies in us ... If negligence dies .. I am not I am ... I have become a child of Christ... if we think like that as we are rejoicing in Christ we all know how much change will take place.

• God has given us another year as an opportunity. Maybe for some people, it will be the last chance. Let us close our eyes and walk in his footsteps with perfect confidence. "John 12:26. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me."

• The day we thought I would not be like in the past life, our life begins to change in us as if it were no longer a seed when it sowed and we change little by little into the likeness of the Lord. Let's change.  "1 Corinthians 15:38. But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body."

• When We will grow up in the form of the Lord with His attributes in His footsteps on the day we become a child of God. Will fruitful. For many like us turns out to be fruitful. "2 Corinthi 9:10. Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.."

• Many of us are already following in his footsteps. Glory to God. I am no longer living in the past ... I will not think like me .. I will not speak like me .. I will not love like me... I will not be lazy like me... I will not stop like me  ... I will not go like me ... I will not be like me at all. Lord LIKE YOU is for you as your child ... Change me ... same like YOU   ... If we make a good decision like that, this is definitely a Happy New Year for us.

"Romans 6:13. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness

"2 Timoti 4:8. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day--and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing."

                                                          

Absolutely this is the right time for us to say like Paul that it is not for me to live, but for Christ to live, and for Christ to live.  "Galatians 2:20. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.."

 Paul assures you that he who loves his life will lose it, but he who hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.

                                                

We are interested in the study of the Word of God because we are all already transformed into the Lord. Let us strengthen the faith of many with historical proofs in the word of the Lord.

May the grace of Christ be with you!

I Wish You All a BLESSED NEW YEAR.  May God Be with YOU.
