Stay in love with Christ today

A true believer is a true lover who burns to fulfill his God's desire.
Only a lover becomes a worshiper, a true worshiper is a God chaser
running after God's desire. Come what may, you walk with God today,
deviate not from His way, stay in love with Christ today. until He comes.....

Hope in His love song

The holy act of Worship is a predestined encounter with Jesus and His lover face to face and lip to lip. True worship brings mutual delight to God and His worshiper as it engages your heart and soul with Him deeply and intimately. The love of Jesus was stronger than death. His sacrifice on the cross of Calvary was the greatest love song ever sung to you. And you are the sweet song Jesus died to listen. We read "O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, let me see your face and let me hear your voice; for your voice is lovely and your face is sweet". If you are in love with Jesus, let your heart sing "kiss me with the kisses of your mouth, for Your love is better than wine". Delight in Jesus today, nothing will go wrong, there is hope in His love song...VJ Traven

God pleasing prayer

God is not interested in your half-hearted commitments, partial obedience or the leftovers of your time and resources. He desires your full devotion, full focused attention. Our prayer should assure that we prefer God more than anything or anyone, because prayer is the time of fellowship with God, He desires deep intimacy and communion with His people. Prayer is the soul's secret desire so it should have more heart than head and tongue. When people in prayer appear truly as one with God in word, in deed. in mind and in motive it pleases God. Please God in your prayer today.......VJ Traven

Broken heart

Broken heart is the state of a human being suffering indescribable emotional damage or physical loss. This can lead you to tormenting emptiness or never ending loneliness. Medical science and technology fail in handling this hopelessness of human condition. They say time is a healer. When man is helpless, he becomes a miserable comforter. Brokenness is the death of personal identity. Here body and soul set the spirit free to return to God. If you are broken then Jesus is near to rescue. He was left all alone on the cross because He came to save you. He is the Hope of glory. In Jesus we have hope that doesn't disappoint us. But even if you are broken, your sin can still separate you and God. Brokenness alone cannot make you a saint. But blood of Jesus can wash you and make you stand before God in righteousness. Get back, search your heart and find where did you grieve the Holy Spirit. Renew your mind to do God's perfect will. Repent now get healed and return to life in abundance today.Jesus said He will never leave you nor forsake you Amen...VJ Traven

Today please God and praise Him

Hallowed be your name. God pleasing prayer and worship begins with PRAISE. Praise proclaims who God is, joyful praise is the fruit of your undistorted focus on Jesus the author and finisher of faith. High praises declare that God and His people are not dead. Praise frightens the enemy camp because Praise invites God to fight your war. Praise is an ear deafening declaration of astonishing faith, which says my God is able all the time. Praise demolish the strongholds of the enemy, it brings God's glory iSavedn your body, the Temple of the Holy Spirit. Praise is the seal of your oneness with God in truth and spirit. But God hates empty praises. God abides only on the Praises of HIS PEOPLE who walk the talk round the clock. Unfortunately praise can be mocked by the ungodly. Bad company corrupts good character. Hello where you ??? with your lips you can sing songs and praise but where is your heart and your head? God seeks a true worshiper who is never separated from the love of Christ. Is your voice a thankless loveless noise ??? then it will produce a lifeless,heartless praise. Walk with Him, stay in love with Him.Today you obey Him, please Him and Praise Him Amen....VJ Traven

Life is a test, you better pass the test

Life is a test and the choices in life make us win or loose the test. You have the freedom to choose between the imperishable seed of life and the perishable seed of death. If you believe in life, follow Jesus the sinless seed of life. He is the Lord of life and resurrection. Sin is the seed of death. You reap what you sow. The devil is a hopeless creature; his grand finale is in the lake of fire. The initiator of sin has no hope in salvation, he cannot repent any more, his reward is fixed in the burning sulfur. The Judgment of God will fall on him at the appointed time. Till then this frustrated creature is tempting and misleading the people who are appointed for life. Are you struggling??? Hang on!! don't give up, crucified Jesus is the hope for the hopeless. Today your submission to God and the faith in the power of the blood of Jesus overcomes the evil one. If you follow Jesus faithfully till the end, He will crown you with the crown of life. If you accept Him, He will accept you, if you reject Him, He will also reject you. Wow this is cool!!! Dear friend, what is your choice??? Submit to God and resist the devil. Live to enter God's eternity, let the sin and death flee. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. Today life is a test, now you better pass the test. Amen........VJ Traven

Worship of the bride

Our God is an awesome God full of love and kindness. He keeps watching us like someone who is deeply in love with us. When we felt like fatherless orphans with no self esteem,God came to rescue us like a father. When we felt lonely in the midst of a million people He appeared like your best friend from no where. Recently I was chatting with a friend online and was writing insights on worship. Suddenly another friend came to chat and then like a miracle he was simply writing the same things to me from another nation. I was so amazed by the awesome presence of God coming closer and touching me very intensely. Overwhelmed by His presence, I told what happened to my friends and just took few minutes to worship God. Once again I remember worship is your life with God, it is your sweet secret communion with God. Songs and music can help to engage our hearts with God, but we should know Jesus didn't die for a song list, He died to restore our communion with Him. When I truly worship, between Jesus and me what I see is the inseparable love only. If your spirit, soul and body is engaged with Jesus intimately then you will be love sick with out His company. Every thing else will loose its significance, nothing else can fascinate you. Like a bride If I become His beloved, He will rejoice in me like a bridegroom radiant with Glory. Here worship becomes the celebration of mutual delight. Here we cry Holy Holy Holy, You alone are worthy worthy worthy ...VJ Traven

Prayer finds hope in God today

Prayer is a system of spiritual communication originating from the thought life of a man. It trains his mind to focus on God. Perception of life through the human senses may gather a distorted imagery of spiritual reality. If your prayer is pure... God will hear you and heal you through His Son Jesus who destroyed the tormenting works of evil. By the stripes of Jesus on the cross of Calvary we are healed. But... give God a break, multiplicity of words don't please God. Prayer is not your monologue, prayer is a dialogue with your Heavenly Father who knows your deeds and needs before you stand on your knees. Listen to Him when you pray.....there is hope in what He say....there is hope in God today ......vj traven

let our lives match our speech

11pm,25th june 2007.When our lives don't match our speech, we loose our credibility before God and man. To match our inner life with God's mind, we need training in righteousness by God's word. A seed predestined to produce fruit will fall on the good ground and die. Then the next move of life brings out the root from the seed. Your positive response to God's will can get you deeply rooted in Christ. The will of the Father God was to save the entire world from Judgment of sins. And to become the only Saviour of the world, Jesus His Son was willing to take our place and die for you and me. From His birth to the death on the cross His life was matching His speech. Your willingness to die as a seed enables you to produce the fruit of the Spirit. This molds your character every day in the Divine nature of Christ. This process cannot be fast forwarded and there is no short cut. The consistent training of your senses by the clear instruction of the God's word in all circumstances produces Christ likeness. God pleasers always do what God says. Your unwillingness to change makes you rigid and unproductive; it kills your sensitivity to live by the Spirit. Be broken, God is not a speech, He is a Person and a Holy Person. Be Holy as He is Holy. Lack of credibility comes from the lack of integrity. Renew your mind and worship God. Today let our lives match our speech Amen…..VJ Traven

One last kiss the sweet unforgettable kiss

[ 4.55 pm, 28^th June 2007 ] Death is the permanent end of the life of a biological organism. But for the man who believes in God death is not a permanent end. In the year 2000 my dad (Kattachayan) was in the last stage of lung cancer, doctors said he will depart any time. I asked him, what is going on??? Like a warrior of faith he said war… if this is a test of faith I'll overcome. But if it is time to depart I'll fly home. To complete an urgent assignment of music, I had to reach Bombay. Speechless and broken, I went near dad, embraced him and kissed him goodbye. In our hearts both of us knew, in this life that was our last kiss, the sweet unforgettable kiss. After two days, while I was in my return journey to Kochi he passed away. For him death was just a small passage to glory. When I came back to my earthly father, he went back to his Heavenly Father. For God, death of His saint is about his precious child coming home. Yesterday I was in the ICU of the Lakeshore Hospital Kochi, I went to donate blood to Mary John, the widow of one of the greatest prophets ever lived in Kerala [Variapuram Yonachayan]. In the valley of the shadow of death, she was sleeping with no worries like a new born baby. I saw her face glowing with a quaint smile saying, "Lord, draw me to You let's hurry… take me away with You". Like a jet plane she is all set to fly. There I looked at others struggling in the ICU, like wounded and fallen soldiers their depressed faces reflected the distress of death. The one who fear God is fearless. Perfect love demolishes the tower of fear. Death cannot kill a saint for ever. Saint Paul said I die every day. Hey my dear friends when the God appointed time comes, how do you want to fly??? Those who finished well kissed the son till the end. Jesus has conquered death forever; He is the hope of glory. Today as I write this now, our beloved Mary John is just passing away. Here I say good bye... someday, I 'll see ya in God's glory.Amen.

Kiss of Life

The name of the Lord Jesus is like a poured out perfume. When God blew His breath in the nostrils of Adam, the chemistry of life began in the body of man. When Adam received the kiss of life from the Spirit of God, the sense of taste and the sense of smell got connected in the breath of life. The fragrance of life made the Garden of Eden into a place of great abundance. If you are broken and depressed, lonely and rejected, tired and confused, then there is someone to look at !!! Jesus, the son of God who became a sacrifice for you on the cross. He says "come to me all who are weary and wounded, I will comfort you and I will give you rest". With all your heart, if you seek Him to love Him and kiss Him, He will come nearer to you as you go nearer to Him.When your spirit breath Him and your eyes see Him, bow down and adore Him, let your heart and soul tell Him, "Lord kiss me with a sweet kiss of life". Today my friends, you kiss the son and dance with Him in the fullness of life. I pray let death depart forever in shame, let your pain and sorrow flee in Jesus name . Amen...............VJ Traven

Sex and Holiness a matter of great concern.

[1am,27th June 2007] Sex and holiness is a matter of great concern in the Bible. God created man in His image and likeness. His image and likeness imparted in man was Holy. In the beginning man's body was seen in God's glory. God created sex holy, but man perverted it by taking it outside the purity of marriage. Sexual immorality degrades your body. When God blessed Adam and Eve, He said "be fruitful and multiply". God designed sex as a process to create new life through physical intimacy in marriage. He expects us to enjoy it with responsibility because it expands our genealogy. It binds the past, present and the future in the chords of love for creating a fruitful family. Our God is a God of order. Sex outside the marriage is an act of disorder done for pleasure with no responsibility for its emotional, mental, physical and spiritual consequences. Here in sin two bodies become one and end up in the bondage of soul ties. Then that sexual imagery will stick inside your memory all your life. It keeps you shameful before God and there will be nothing to cover up your nakedness. Condoms cannot prevent the emotional and spiritual damages done by devil the accuser. Give me a break you won't die without sex, but you will die soon if you catch aids. To restore God's likeness, Jesus is kind to rescue even if you are a maniac. Today if you truly repent and confess your sins, God will forgive and heal your memory. The blood of Jesus will sanctify your whole being and set you free. Let your curses be broken in Jesus name. Every one wants to be free??? Use your freewill. But one question??? Are you ready to handle freedom??? Fear God today and sin no more. Amen…..VJ Traven

Today what are u looking for???

2 years back I went to Kuwait to pray for my friends who had a travel ban for 6 months. In need of a miracle, I interceded for them in fasting. In a house with no telephone, tv, news papers, servants and music I was alone. There my deepest desire was to meet up with God aface to face. My heart and my flesh craved for that. But nothing happened for 3 weeks. Then the Travel ban got lifted, my friends were back in business. But I was down with Chicken pox, what a suffering! I learned to do thanks giving and worship in the beauty of silence. Sickness was the only reward for this unworthy servant. Then suddenly few brave brothers from Manna Ministries came and said we won't allow a servant of God to suffer here like this. They took me to the hospital for contagious diseases. There beloved Jacob Mathew the man of God from ICPF came to visit me and said my son, "life is a test". I had severe Chest infection; things were getting complicated, Egyptian doctors behaved like military generals. They were simply unapproachable. In the midst of all this I wrote a song and cried to see the glory of my Lord. One night as I was sleeping, a nurse came to check fever, I coughed so badly I Iost my breath and became lifeless. My heart beat stopped for few seconds and I saw the Angels standing near me. They looked like huge white pillars...beyond them I saw the vision of God's glory. But in the room nurse shouted my name so much I returned back soon with a smile on my face. I asked the nurse what happened, shivering she said you packed your bags for awhile. One Pakistani and a Bangladeshi was there in the same room, they looked so pale, they said they thought they were witnessing my death. After few days I was discharged from the hospital and I came back Home alive. You see I got rejected; was broken and lonely, sick and tired in a desert test…umm I don't remember the test. By His grace I crossed the lines and saw what I was craving for, my God and His glory. O my dear friend, today what are you looking for???God bless ya VJ TRAVEN

God's voice and your name. Does it match?

Last Friday early morning, Mary John the widow of the great prophet Variyapuram Yonachayan passed away. In the same day evening I went to see her body and walked inside remembering the sweet hours of prayer which went up for me there. The very first word of God I heard was through the prophet who told me about the God who calls you by your name to fulfill His purposes through a generation. The Scripture was about God's encounter with Samuel, "God's voice and Samuel's name". The pebbles on the ground and the old green trees around gave me a warm welcome in the drizzle. My Spiritual father and his beloved who loved me and blessed me has left me. I was drowning in a stream of memory. The last time I spend in their prayer room, he laid his hands and prayed over me a long time. I received a glorious impartation in the early hours of the morning. The presence of God was so thick and tangible. He said tell me what u saw when I prayed for u? I said, I saw a new steam engine moving between 2 older steam engines. Now the new engine gets activated and comes in the front and the older engines pushes the new one in full power. The increasing speed turns the steam engine into a new diesel engine. The old 2 steam engines kept pushing it forcefully till I saw the transfiguration of the diesel engine to a big jet plane which takes off from the rail track in the end. He heard what I said and asked me an unforgettable question. Like a sword piercing my flesh and bones, that question still reminds me about the call of God. "Are you in the track?" The prophet knew my future. After his death, I lost my focus on God and lost my first love for Him. But Jesus was waiting, He left the other 99 jet planes and came to rescue this lost one. Before the burial of the beloved one, once again Lord made me answer the prophet's question right where it was asked. I said, Lord "here I am back in your track, ready for take off ". Friends, may I ask you the same old question,"are you in the track ?" God's voice and your name. Does it match???-VJ TRAVEN

Stay in love with Christ today

A true believer is a true lover who burns to fulfill his God's desire.
Only a lover becomes a worshiper, a true worshiper is a God chaser
running after God's desire. Come what may, you walk with God today,

deviate not from His way, stay in love with Christ today. Until He comes.....

Today let there be light in Jesus name.

[4th july 2007] Holy Bible is the book written with God's power to transform lives. Before we read and comprehend, it reads you and me. It is the mightiest bondage breaking word ever spoken; it gives freedom from sin and death. The God's instructions make every man perfect in Christ. When you believe and practice it sincerely, God will see the reflection of His likeness in our character. He sustains His Divinity in us through the power of His word that reveals the mind of Christ which fulfills God's desire. Christ the King of glory died to build our bodies as the Temple of the living God. From the darkness He delivered us to illuminate us; He filled us with His Spirit and made us the true light of the world. Today, we have great responsibility; the darkness will remain if we fail to shine as the light. But if Teachers teach, Preachers preach and Singers sing without participating in the Divine nature, man…some thing is terribly wrong. We cannot make Jesus visible without the fruit of the spirit, its time to redefine, re-measure, re-analyze, refine and restore the light. Let's get back to the basics. If we don't live the word, we loose the power and intensity of the light we produce. Without Christ we are just darkness. Before we see the darkness outside, take a look at what is going on inside and evaluate the quality of the light we produce. Quality is the essence of the excellence without deficiency. Today let's ask ourselves; are we truly keeping His word without denying His name? are we the pure and the spotless light? or are we compromising on the purpose of God? Wake up, the true light does have the power and intensity to conquer darkness. Our God is the unapproachable light, He is the light of life. In Him there is no darkness. Let's pray... Lord, sanctify us with the truth, illuminate us again with your word, Oh its time to rise up and shine like the blazing sun in the afternoon. Now for a change, let's walk the talk round the clock. Today let there be light in Jesus name. Amen…VJ TRAVEN

Bow down and worship God

These days the word 'worship' seems to be confined to the Sunday morning singing sessions. Music produces a colorful atmosphere. Worship leaders do their best to inspire the people with their skills. The book of Psalms says, play skillfully, praise Him with the tambourine and dance. King David wrote songs, designed instruments and appointed skillful musicians and trained singers for the Temple of God. During Solomon's dedication of the new temple, in unison trumpeters and singers performed in one voice along with the musical instruments. In the awesome celebration of praise, the house was filled with a Cloud. The ministers could not stand to minister because of the glory of God. The worship that is acceptable to God is a living and holy sacrifice presented in the life of a true worshiper. The sacrifice you do to renew your mind according to the perfect will of God sanctifies your life and makes your worship acceptable to God. Music without anointing is a mood-altering drug that entertains people; it cannot make your life Holy. Are you worshiping to please yourself? Without your heart and flesh craving for God, your worship fails to fascinate Him. Hello…where is God and His Glory inside the Church? Compromising leaders don't worry about Glory. Even with the state of the art sound and music equipment, world class musicians and participating multitudes, without the manifest presence of God, your worship is empty. The fullness of joy is only in His presence, a musical performance cannot match it. When the Lord came you were too busy. When He spoke you were not around. When He left you didn't know, and you didn't give Him a kiss. The act of worship is going on, but God is standing outside knocking at the door. Will you stop the empty sound of music for one minute to welcome Him. Enthrone Jesus first, now with all your heart, soul, spirit and musical resources glorify Him!!! Songs can express your love for God but it cannot replace your intimacy with God. Humble yourself, bow down, worship God. Amen...VJ TRAVEN

Today let King Jesus be glorified

Worship begins in the heart of a man where he is deeply fascinated by something or someone worthy to love eternally. When Moses saw the spectacular burning bush, he was curious to find more about the bush and the holy fire. God the consuming fire saw a murderer coming near. "Moses, Moses", God called the one who is seeking the mystery of the glory with no renewal of mind. Moses was a murderer, but God has appeared here to sanctify his future leader. Without the mind of Christ the Deliverer, Moses was a bush, burning with anger. The Sovereign Lord is the Deliverer, if you take pride in your strength without obedience of faith and true dependency in God, you'll end up as a looser. God called Moses and asked him to remove the sandals of a sinful walk and made him stand on the naked feet in the Holy ground. Lord builds Moses as a God fearing leader. When a man is born again by accepting the Lordship of Jesus, he becomes a new creation participating in the Divine nature. God's encounter with man brings purification in his life. Or else you will stay in the sandals of sinful walk. Are you worried about the act of worship??...then God is concerned about the object of worship!! A saint sacrificially sanctifies himself and pleases God by presenting his body pure and holy. A born-again soul has received priceless heavenly gifts from God and he always sings praises to God in his heart. But these days we see Godless leaders who take worship as a warm up for preaching. Without focusing on leading people to commune with God, worship leaders degrade the congregational worship into an entertainment by ignoring the unction to fulfill the purpose of worship. No flesh is worthy to become an object of worship. In entertainment man becomes the object of worship. God alone is worthy to receive Glory. My friend, the communion with God can set you on holy fire. In true worship you cloth your self with Jesus the King of glory. It transforms you into a glorious being. Through our life of worship, let King Jesus be glorified. Amen…VJ TRAVEN
