The Love of God Is All Around Us

God is Love, His love shows beneath us, around us and above us. To serve as an Everlasting reminder, Sant Rajinder Singh explores... The Love of God Is All Around Us Whenever we swim or sail in the ocean, the beautiful blue waters of the sea surround us on all sides. Just as while swimming we are surrounded by the ocean, every second of our lives we are also surrounded by the ocean of divine love. The ocean of God’s love surrounds us. It is not only around us, but within. It is to the right of us, the left of us, above us, below us, and in us. If we could only have the eyes to see, we would find we are perpetually swimming in the ocean of God’s love. In this connection, there is a story of a man who had been meditating many years yet was frustrated because he had not seen God. He had given up many worldly pleasures to meditate and spent long hours meditating in silence. He was devoted and did whatever he could to find God. Finally, he prayed to God, “O Lord, I have been meditating and praying to You all my life, yet You have not appeared to me.” God did not respond to his prayer. The man became more and more impatient and soon started saying, “There is no God. I have wasted my time.” The man strolled along the side of the river, upset at his lack of experience with the Lord. Finally, the man took a pebble and threw it into the river, saying, “O river, I have wasted my life. I have prayed and meditated to find God, but there is no God.” Suddenly, a fish raised its head out of the water, saying, “Why have you thrown a stone at me?” The man apologized and said, “I did not mean to hit you. I only threw it into the river in frustration.” The fish asked, “Why are you frustrated?” The man said, “I have spent my life searching for God, but have not found God. My efforts have been wasted.” The fish said, “You think you have problems? Look at me. I have been swimming in this river my whole life looking for water. I am dying of thirst and cannot find any water to drink.” The man said, “What is wrong with you? You must be a fool instead of a fish. The whole river is filled with water. There is not a spot in the river where there is no water. You are surrounded by water. Just open your fish eyes to see it.” The fish said, “Well, it is the same with you. You are surrounded by God. God is all around you and within you. You are swimming in the Lord and claim there is no God. Who is the bigger fool? You or I?” This amusing story points out a great truth. We are all looking for God, but do not realize God is surrounding us and within us. There is no place where God is not. We only have to open our eyes to see it. God is everywhere. Just as the ocean is all around us, so is God

Grace, a product we can't do without...

Testimony Time:-Good morning to all Sons and Daughters of His Grace, I am privileged to welcome you to another Splendour of His Mercy, which is forever new everyday. (Lamentation 3:19-22) And after the night before the last, as I sat in a train thinking, what sort of message I should write about today, the Spirit of God ministered Grace, which should be looked at as one of the very many products we use daily but can't do without. But very often, Children of faith neglects and or abused the gifts received at Christ expense. Have you therefore been put in a position of authority through His Grace, either as Pastors, Shepherds and Prophets or Prophetesses alike? Do you meet the Products of Grace with Grace? How much of His Grace in you are you willing to dispense measure for measure? Have you suddenly started to feel bloated and boastful about your position? It does not matter whether you hold a position or not. The miracles of God is evidenced even in the popularity you gained through His Grace upon the work you have been deployed. Have you not turned the Grace to residue of His Might? The Grace of God is another Product we can't do without. And like all other daily products, Grace also has its prescription which must be seen, apply and kept according to the Lord's instruction. It also carries severe repercussions when it's organs are violated in the eternal Kingdom. We must be fearful of this principle because we shall spend more time in eternity than what we currently 'enjoying' now. Today, let Grace plays its part in your life. Be ready to use the Gift wisely. Run away from sins, come before Him all the time with penitence and watch His Grace manifest even further upon you. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Identifying with God

Testimony Time:-Good morning to all Sons and Daughters of God in the House. Let me also congratulate you because we can all be identified with the Purpose of the Lord. Through this purpose, the Lord chose to keep us alive till today, and now we are privileged to carry His identification. What can you be identified with in His presence, apart from the customary uniforms that signify you as a child of God? What can people say about you that is different to every religious visits/practices in His Holy of Holies? Those titles and accolades, including that of holy pilgrimages to Jerusalem, just where have they landed us? What identification have they given you in the presence of the Lord? It is not so much about titles or indeed positions. And it does not matter how many visits we pay to the Holy Land, what is important is the identification you carry in your relationship with God. (Matthew 7:16). It is true that our inner self will always be portrayed with the characteristics of our external works. This will form an epistle upon which a sound identification can now be based in the Christian world. We want to be identified with You Father. We beseech You to give us the power to bear good fruits that will bring us nearer to you always. (Galatians 5:19-22) Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

The Characters of God

Testimony Time:-Good morning Children of God and welcome to a new day in May through the Strong Will of God. One of the Characters of God has a lot to do with His Will. The Earth came into existence out of God's Will to transform the desolate nature of the Earth until the Lord considered it beautiful. In like manner, to continue to enjoy His due presence and the benefits attached to to His Grace, we must have the will to follow Him irrespective of our condition. That will can only generate the beauty of God in us, if we do not faint in the process. What is your story today? Is it born out of the Will to serve and diligently obey Him or that which is filled with pretense? The good thing is, they both have their rewards. One can lead to transformation, which is according to the story of creation. And the other can chose to remain untouched by the riches of His in Glory. May the joy of God transform our will so that we can be touched by His perpetual Grace in Jesus name. Amen Just checking in into His presence...

Just another shift in His Grace

Testimony Time:-Good morning Children of Grace and welcome to another shift in the momentum of the Grace God. We have been moved from Grace to Grace and from our yesterday to today, all within the mysteries of His Splendour. The Lord moves speedily to accomplish His Works and we can see some of His Handiwork established upon the seas, setting boundaries between them and the land. Therefore, we must see the shift in the days pattern, notably from what we now refer to as yesterday in the fullness of His Grace. This must however serve as a link that enlists our fear in who directs the affairs of them all, because we don't know what tomorrow will bring. There is always going to be a shift in the day's momentum, however this should not represent a shift in the pattern on how we relate to The Alpha and Omega, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. Do you shift the pattern of your love to Christ? Do you have your own blueprint of what the Love of God entails? Do you act as defenders of the Apostles Creed? Let us remember that there was never a shift in the Love of Christ, He died so that we can all be saved. Our modus operandi therefore should defend the death of Christ on the cross. We therefore beseech you God to make us defenders of your Word so that we can have a place with you in heaven. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

God's application

Testimony Time:-Good morning children of God and welcome to a New Application of His Mercies. You must know that in all Applications, the Lord establishes His Love in their creation and dispensation. Without much ado, we can see from the way He set the firmament upon the Earth without Pillars and Psalm 103 describes His Faithfulness in depth. If the Lord can therefore apply the duty of care that cut across any frontiers upon all His Creation, He does so so that we can fear Him and obey His Commandments. (Ecclesiastes 12:13, Psalm 111:10). What will your application be within His Grace today? Will it be one that pick and choose as in when to love God and also show love to even your neighbours? Or one that renders the Lord's application of Grace incompetent because we devalue His Authority and as a result fail to keep any of His Commandments? We must know therefore that the Lord has nothing to loose. He holds the reins to all Kingdom. The earth we so much cherish He uses as His footstool. And this same earth and the things therein we very jealously hold on to, not the things of heaven! So Children of Grace, make the Lord count in your applications today. Seek the things of Heaven (Colossians 3:2) and remember 1 Peter 1:12 and it's admonition about all the good news you have received through the Power of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord give us the power to honour our pledges before Him. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...

Measuring time with time?

Testimony Time:-Good morning Children of Grace and welcome to another day in the month of May. It is very true that the day is new and so is the new month. What we must realize is that the changes in years, months, weeks and days only occur numerically. Although we are much more interested in counting Time as growing old, but the only significant change in time are even more effective upon the people who themselves count "time on time" Let us therefore spend more time to examine the change that occur upon us daily. Just imagine what your body looks like now. Do you notice any changes? From grey hair and the inability to do certain things by yourself, bordering on age. Do you see your children now getting married, having their own children and celebrating birthdays on ages that you have passed? Life is a revolving cycle and it is what you plant in that cycle that keeps your time for ever in His Presence. Therefore Children of Grace, let us rejoice in the new month of May, but we must take time to consider the effects within the change of time, already in the new day the Lord has very graciously allocated to us. We represent the change in time. We just must grow in the knowledge and understanding of God based on our relationship with Him. Though the year may change, the months may continue to count and time itself may change, what must not change is our relationship with Him. And that is the key! May the joy we find in God's Work today alone keep us within His Guidelines so we do not fail on His Liberties. Amen Wishing you all a happy and successful new month.
