Theological Education: Equipping People of God
Isaiah.54:10-14

For the mountains may move and the hills disappear, but even then my faithful love for you will remain. My covenant of blessing will never be broken,” says the LORD, who has mercy on you.(V.10)

Leap of faith

To pick God’s work over your home, loved ones and their expectations is indeed a massive leap of faith. It can only be done with absolute faith in God that He will take care of you and your loved ones. I believe that any Christian who dedicates their lives to God has to take that leap of faith, to some extent, in order to place themselves in His safe hands. 

As children of the world we are programmed at a very young age to aim for success in everything we do. Our skills are molded such that we can use them to build a successful career. Our efforts to achieve our very best in life cannot be criticized. However, what needs to be criticized and thought over is the stress and isolation that comes to someone that cannot achieve this success in the world. Any sense of self-worth and confidence is stripped from the person and he/she is left in the dark for the rest of their lives. It is in this darkness that we are blinded of the beauty of God’s creation and his purpose for every single creation he puts on this world. All the children of God are promised a place in heaven despite their strengths or weaknesses. Isaiah.54 1-17 explains the heritage of the servants of God. God had promised that the servant would “see his offspring”(V.10).Really the outcome of God's promises are beyond our comprehension. It is not only the experience of the servant in Isaiah' prophecy  but ours also.

As Christians this promise from our Lord is our strength. His promise gives all of us the strength to dream of the impossible and know that with Him we can make those dreams come true.

Thought for the Day: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11: 1

Prayer: Lord help us lay our lives in your hands and through this find the strength to do the impossible in your name. ….Amen

  Constant, patient and welcoming love of God   St. Luke 15: 11-32  V.21: And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ The parable of the ‘Prodigal son’ is one of the most frequently quoted parables that Jesus told His disciples. The parable contains the rich mine of human virtues and emotions. This parable is lived and re-lived in progressing civilizations from time immemorial and continuing. It brings out in vivid detail the pathetic depth of human sinfulness and the glorious heights of God’s forgiveness.      As a story of human nature, fathers are generally merciful to their children in any circumstance. They are very protective and are eager to provide for and secure the lives of their offspring. Jesus is telling this parable to underscore the superlative love of God to His children. The nature of such love is reiterated by Jesus in Matthew 7:11. Humankind who are evil by nature, give good gifts t

PRIESTHOOD: THE ANOINTED MINISTRY Exodus 40:12-16 Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting... wash them with water. Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest (Exodus 40: 12-13). Priesthood among the people of God was a divine command and initiation. God wanted some people to be separated for the special ministry among his people. God appointed Aaron and his descendants to take up this kind of ministry among the people of God. Priests are always separated and appointed as channels that connect God with his people. All throughout the history of Israel, priests played an important role in connecting people with God and to lead and guide them in the statutes of God. But there are incidents in the Bible where the priests failed in their duties and that led the people to go away from God. So the priests have a special and significant ministry to perform in this world among his people. Two important things

Revelation for Liberation Acts 27:18-26 Sherine Thomas Long Island MTC, NY 20  When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest raged, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned. “After winter comes the summer.  After night comes the dawn.  And after every storm, there comes clear open skies” so said a Scottish clergyman from the 1600s. It’s been said, that hope can sometimes be the most dangerous weapon.  However, it’s sometimes the hardest weapon to carry when you’re living with the loss of a loved one, something that almost feels like a terrible nightmare that’ll never go away.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry when day in and day out no one seems to hear or see those tears that are shed or silent cries that are made during a heartfelt prayer. It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you see your loved one lying on that hospital bed.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you search and seek out answers to tell a child as to why they’ve been a
