Seven Great Blessings and a Golden key -PART 2

Blessing No:[1] The Image of God

When God created Adam, he was created in the image and the likeness of God. Today when we are born-again, we are born in the Spirit to be raised in the image and the likeness of Christ. By the power of the Holy Blood of Jesus that washes the stains of every sin, we enter into the genealogy of God. When we believe and accept Jesus, we have to truly repent our sins and decide to sin no more and please God by doing His perfect will in the mind of Christ.

We willfully obey God's commandments to joyfully participate in the Divine Nature and maintain consistently the spotless and glorious image for ever. When we reach an age to hear the word of God and believe, without any compulsion from outside, to please God we should exercise our own free will to get baptized in the water in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Christ is the most radiant image of the invisible God and those who commune with Him are predestined to become conformed to the image of God. When we become desperate for the communion with God, Lord sends His Spirit on our flesh and baptize us in the Holy Ghost and the Fire. With that glorious clothing and we cloth ourselves with Christ the King of Glory. There the image and the likeness of God in us shine as the Glorious light. We are appointed as the light of the world.

All over the world people are image conscious. What costumes to purchase? Which place to eat? What watches to buy? What colors to choose???…the list is endless when you have more disposable money to spend. In the corporate advertising, billions are spend on Brand building. Brands are the little gods in the modern world. Here in this world every born-again one gets the most secure image from God, as the Divine inheritance provided we continually keep God's word with all our strength and run till the end to finish well in His glory. The born-again children of God are a brand of people made for praise, fame and honor. They carry the brand-marks of Jesus in their body. They commune with God and joyfully give Him all the glory of the praise, fame and honor, they posses as a blessing in their lives on earth. Friends, if you have nothing to give, then give yourself to Christ, He will bless you and make you fruitful through His image and likeness. Amen…VJ Traven

Seven Great Blessings and a Golden Key- PART 1

Intimate and Holy Communion with God is the purpose of the creation of man. God is the Creator of man and his genealogy. But sin separated us from God and kept us in darkness that made us remain far from Him. God is the Unapproachable Light; He has no communion with darkness. The One who created us gave us the freedom to choose Him or reject Him. And we did not walk in the light of life; we ignored the One who created us. We ran after the pleasures of the sinful world and got deceived by the devil, who has no inheritance in the Salvation of God.

We grieved the heart of God who created us. Still God loved us all and longed to bring us back in communion with Him. The same God who created us needed to save us by buying us back for Himself, because we sold our souls to the devil by living in the pleasures of the sin. Jesus the Son of God came down to set us free from the captivity of sin. His Holy Blood and the sufferings for us on the cross became the price for us. He paid the price and redeemed us. Do you want to turn back to God and commune with Him in truth and spirit??? Then part with all your sinful ways and come to the Lord Jesus. Without the sanctification of the blood of Jesus, the word of God and the Holy Spirit no one can commune with God. If you truly believe in the Savior Jesus and His sacrifice, then confess your faith before God and man. When you confess that Jesus died on the cross for you and God raised Him from the dead on the third day, man…God will consider you as a born-again child of God through His Son Jesus.

When Adam was created God blessed him with seven incredible blessings. God said be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Today the world is running for this blessings with all their heart, mind, spirit and resources. For the born-again child of God the seven great blessings are his inheritance in the earth through Christ Jesus. The seven great blessings of God are:

[1] The Image.

[2] The Power.

[3] The Employment or Mission.

[4] The Habitation.

[5] The Food and Water.

[6] The Freedom of choice.

[7] The Companion.

And to inherit the seven great blessings one commandment was given to man from God. If man communes with God, all the seven blessings will follow man like mercy and grace all his life. Communion happens through worship and worship originates from true love. True love is the essence of total submission and complete obedience to God's word. In that case the one golden key is the worship in truth and spirit. To inherit the seven great blessings, man only needed to love God and please God.

Enjoy the Garden of Eden the place of great abundance and the seven great blessings free, but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, the day you eat you will surely die. When you obey God you love God. When you disobey His Commandments you loose the sweet communion with the Holy Spirit. Disobedience is a sin that gives birth to death. God is the creator of life. Without His communion, you loose the breath of life in your spirit. Love your Lord God and worship Him with all your heart and all your mind and all your Spirit and all your resources. Commune with God and live for ever. Amen…VJ Traven

The number one Heroes - PART 7

In all the eternity the Almighty Trinity exists in Great Unity. But at the Calvary when Jesus cried "My God My God, why have you forsaken Me?" the Holy Trinity was shaken and was broken because of you and me. The Body of the Creator of life remained lifeless in the tomb for three days until God raised His Son from the dead. The Resurrected Jesus conquered the sin and death for ever. The number ones die every day by crucifying the carnal and sinful natures to become perfect in Christ. They carry the brand-marks of Jesus in their body to stay Holy! Jesus left His Glory and died on the cross to make us Holy with His Blood and His Testimony. To enter the Kingdom of God we should flee from the wrong belief systems, idolatry, greed, ungodly club meetings, pornography, alcohol and drug addictions, time wasting TV shows, adult Movies, filthy jokes, gluttony, revenge, sexual immorality, pride, head banging rebellion etc. The number one parts with a ten thousand lovers to bond with the Radiant Lover. The humble donkey willing to carry the body of Jesus from the tomb will carry His Glorious Resurrected Body. If we unite with Him in the likeness of His death, we will also unite with Him in the likeness of His Resurrection. Jesus demonstrated God's love through His sacrifice for you and me. But by the fear factor poor Peter denied Jesus three times and he fell from his first love. But after the resurrection, Jesus appeared to restore Him back as the number one. The Divine romance makes Peter fall in love with the Lord again. A visitation from the Lord is to make you the permanent Habitation of the Lord. Jesus did a miracle and made His disciples catch 153 big fishes and asked Peter, do you love me more this fish and the sea. With all the blessings you have received, do you love Me more than these? Lord asked Peter three times till Peter grieved deeply. Hello, why are you weeping? whom are you seeking? The demonstration of passion is a sacrifice through the obedience of faith. Bond with the crucified One, carry the brand-marks of the most Radiant One and become a spotless Number One! Amen…VJ Traven

Jesus asked Mary Magdalene "Woman why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" she thought he is the gardener; she said "Sir if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away". She declared her commitment to the One who conquered the death. The first name spoken by the Risen Christ was "Mary", the name of the number one. The sheep recognized the Shepard's voice. With reverence and awe she said "Rabboni". Mary fell on His feet, clinging on to Him with out leaving Him. One passionately spoken word of adoration, a crushed spirit with desperation for God, a broken and pure heart, a face wet with tears mixed with the fullness of joy and a body language revealing deep devotion produced the sweet aroma of intimate worship in truth and spirit. A rigid unrepentant heart will never cry Holy and worship God face to face and lip to lip. The death of Jesus was a public affair but His resurrection was a private matter. He wanted to give the number one the privilege to proclaim the Good News. After being risen Lord first appeared to the one who never left Him alone even after three days of His death. We should love God with all our heart, mind, spirit and resources, the number one did it all her life. Jesus said, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go to My brethren and say to them, I ascend to My Father and My God and your God". She hears that Glorious Revelation. The Holy Blood of Jesus connects the believers to the Genealogy of God. The God gave the authority to those who accept Jesus to become the sons of God through faith in the name of His Son. The true confession about the Lordship of Jesus over our lives brings the salvation of God. The number one unites with Jesus in His death and resurrection and gets the first assignment to preach the Gospel. Hello friends, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking? A number one Hero said "The Lord is my Shepard, He is my portion, I will wait for Him and I will carry Him".Amen…www.vjtraven.blogspot.com

The number one Heroes - PART 5

The absence of Jesus in the open tomb made the disciples feel nothing, but it made the worshiper cry Holy. They came as spectators but Mary Magdalene came as a worshiper. She is a committed worshiper and God loves her. She is deeply grieved by the absence of Jesus as she is desperately seeking His Presence more than anything in life. She wanted to worship God; she has seen the Lord Jesus worthy to be praised as He has demonstrated the love of God on the cross of Calvary. She knew He died in her place to redeem her eternally. She knew His blood was shed to cleanse her from her sins. A heart of worship burns with the passion for the crucified One. Many waters cannot quench that flame of love. A heart of worship is tormented and broken here by the agony of love. No one can console her, because God alone is a worshiper's comforter. Someone mad about Jesus will worship Him with passion till the end. The deep is calling the deep. She is weeping, she has done every thing to be with Jesus, there is nothing more to do now as an act of worship. Many women did noble things but the number one surpasses them all. Your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual presence, time and sincere efforts matters in worship. Time is life. If you don’t give your time for God, you don’t give your life to God. The Angels asked her why she is crying; she said "I don’t know where they have taken away my Lord and where they have laid Him". Number one is not ashamed to confess that Jesus Christ is my Lord. What will others do to His crucified body, she express her concern. Now Jesus appeared and asked "why are you weeping, what are you seeking?" And she said "Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him and I will take Him away". She is determined to carry Him regardless of the condition of the body after three days. A number one is united with Jesus in His death and His resurrection. Now Jesus is calling the number one her name "Mary". Hello, have you heard Him lately. Worship is a face to face and lip to lip conversation with God and his true worshiper. Amen...VJ Traven

The number one Heroes - PART 4

On the first day of the week early morning while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb of Jesus. Disciples and the rest of the world slept without a dream. But she stayed awake by a dream to chase the Lord. Plan your walk and walk your plan, the number one walked out. Many seeds of the Eagle are living comfortably inside the egg shell. But those who wait upon the Lord will break the shell and come out to fly in the sky. The number one is driven by a burning passion to see a new revelation. So after the Crucifixion she saw the first sign of Resurrection. The number ones keep expanding their vision to see the new horizon. She reached the tomb first and saw the stone in the tomb removed. When others don’t have a vision, she is illuminated by what she saw and ran to Peter. The Number ones are humble and has a great sense of urgency. She associates with the right people at the right time to be in the right place. Number ones make others wake up and make them catch up. She imparts the inspiration and made the sleeping disciples wake up and run to see a great vision. They came to the tomb, entered the tomb and believed the vision and but returned home to sleep again. Without scriptural understanding you see nothing beyond a vision. When they went back, the number one stayed back crying. A number one is deeply broken without Jesus when others are not. She analyzed what she saw and missed Jesus in the vision. A number one has focus on Jesus more than the vision. A number one will only bond with Christ in a vision. Number ones are desperately hungry and thirsty for the manifest presence of God. So now she gets a second vision, and we see angels speaking to her, but she is only keen to find her Lord Jesus. A number one is a hard core God chaser. She is not fascinated by the Angels, a number one doesn't believe in substitutes. More than seeking a visitation from God, number one is seeking the permanent habitation of God. My friends, how desperate are you for Jesus. Are you the Temple of the Holy Spirit??? Lord God is watching our action. Amen...VJ Traven

Before the death of Lord Jesus, the Roman soldiers stripped the Son of God, spat on His Holy face, beat Him on His head, crowned Him with a crown of thorns, knelt down before Him and mocked at Him saying "hail, King of the Jews". They nailed the Holy One and crucified Him. From the face of the Earth, the Light of Life was about to disappear. From the sixth hour to the ninth hour darkness started to appear in the land. Then He cried out in a loud voice Eli Eli lamma shabackthani, that is My God My God why have You left Me? His pain became our gain. His blood became our price. His breath became our life. God made His beloved Son die to bring home the prodigal sons. He cried out loud again and gave up His Spirit. The Curtain of the temple was torn, the Earth was shaken, the Rocks were split, the tombs of the saints opened and their bodies resurrected. The crowds were beating their breasts. The Lion of Judah is dead. But Peter was no where in the picture. He denied his hero and became a zero. When someone has fallen, someone has risen. God enabled few godly women to witness the vision of the crucifixion. The righteous ones are bold as a lion. Peter gave up his chance to unite with Jesus in His death. Peter was shaken; the spirit of fear killed the heart of a young lion. The courage is not the absence of fear; it is doing what you are afraid to do. Number ones are unshakable; they have an inseparable communion with God. The godly women followed Lord's body to the tomb, later they prepared the spices and perfumes. Number ones prepare themselves and carry what they need to serve God. In John 20:1, two thousand years ago when it is still dark, Mary Magdalene visited the tomb of Jesus early in the morning all alone. Number one is brave and daring. Fear of death could not separate her from the love of Christ. Number ones are mad about Jesus; they chase God even in the dark unfavorable circumstances. What about you and Jesus, how deep is your love??? My friend wake up, the time is near. Amen...VJ Traven
