Gospel for all people
Isaiah 55:1-5
   Vs 1” come, all you are thirsty, come to the waters”         

Isaiah prophesies in Judah from 740-681B.C that God would send a Savior to deliver all his people from sin and to set up God’s kingdom on earth.

  1. INVITATION TO THE THIRSTY verse(1-2)
         The Lord invites all people who are thirsty to come to the living waters, without money and without cost all is free by the Lords Grace. Money and labor for all worldly things is in vain on what does not satisfy. Eat the heavenly food by reading, studying the Bible so our soul may be delighted in the richest of fare.
  1. INVITATION FOR AN ETERNAL LIFE verse(3)
           Lord invites all the people to give ears to his words that our soul may live and not run around to the worldly hearing gossips and worldly role model. By hearing the Lord’s words and walking in his path Lord will make an everlasting covenant with us as he promised to David.
  1. INVITATION TO BE A WITNESS TO THE PEOPLES verse(4,5)


           Lord invites us to be his witness in this world, to be a leader like David to lead a life ought to be the best. Being a leader we need a single minded response to God who is waiting to heal his people and restore us to that wonderful betrothal relationship with him.

 

PRAYER
      God, we ask your forgiveness of all our transgression, helping us to study the Bible with thirst, live for an eternal life and be your witness in this pandemic world. Amen

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
            And Jesus said come to the water, stand by my side, I know you are thirsty. God is inviting us daily, are we ready to hear him?

  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

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

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
