Conversations with AV - part1

 

Today started my conversations with pastor.

This will go on for a few days i guess.

Our conversation started with the 

Great commandment of Christ

given in Matthew 28:18-20.

-- Then Jesus came to them and said, 

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them 

in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 

and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

 And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”--

The greatest need 

----------------------

There are more than 167 crore (1.67 billion) , Muslims in the world.

India has more than   17crore(170 million) Muslims .

Sad part is there is only one christian missionary

for sharing the gospel to 10 lakh  Muslims in the world.

That means

1) It will take at least 2670 years for me to reach the Muslims in 

    my share.

2) That too given that the Muslim population remains unchanged 

    for the next 2670 years :)

1 missionary for 1 million gospel starved souls.Think about it.

I think this post will give enough food for thought today :).

 God bless you .

Liberated

Try I did times uncountable.

Fail I did times uncountable

To find true love I searched

In pubs & drugs.

I never found it.

To find true love I searched

In smoke & joke.

I never found it.

To find true love I searched

In power & glamour

I never found it.

Time went by & I found myself

Back to zero; searching true love still.

Now more bound in Sin

Chained & jailed by devil

Ensnared in all trouble.

My Heart crying evermore

Swimming in dark sea of despair.

Liberate me from Lust

License me to Love.

Once a friend told a Love story

A God-man who died for his enemies

 & made ‘HIS’tory.

Took punishment upon him for their Sin

& made them HIS Son.

Longed my heart to be with HIM.

Tried much to come near,

Crowds covering him from afar.

Cried in my room alone

Throwing my hands up in despair.

Came the voice of the One

Untouched by Sin.

Cleansed me by HIS Word

Radiating true love of Son.

Broke away my Chains

Delivered me from my Sins.

Son has set me free

I am free indeed.

Light of the world started

Shining deep indeed.

Liberated from Lust

Licensed to Love.

Ended My Search for true love

At the feet of Calvary.

Where my Savior wrote a Love Story.

Passover

Here I stand before my red sea

Filled with helplessness.

Tides raging before me

Chariots of enemies nearing from behind.

Here I stand, O Lord

Expecting a miracle

Move your Hand, O Redeemer

Send the eastern wind.

Let the red sea give way

Let your children Passover to Promised Land.

Here I stand before my Jericho

Filled with discouragement

Walls are unbreakable

Enemies are mocking;

Putting your name to shame.

Here I stand, O Lord

Expecting a miracle.

Move your hand, O redeemer

Send your angels.

Let the walls of Jericho break down

Let your children Passover to Promised Land.

Grant me a safe passage

To your promised land.

Pillar of fire guiding by night.

Pillar of cloud guiding by day.

Lord I stand before thee

Waiting for a safe passage

Don’t Fret

There’s no need to fret

About bad things that happened.

Forget what has happened

& forgive them one by one.

 

There’s no need to fret

About things that went wrong.

Forever be sure that Christ

Will make all things work for good.

 

There’s no need to fret

About things that are not done.

For sure Christ will give

Chances new to work upon.

Savior

He the seasoned rebellious One

Pointing his piercing eyes to the

Believer bunch he shouted.

‘Alas where is the savior

When people are suffering?’

Flashing a vile smile as if winning.

 

Emerged a voice from the believer bunch

And answered a truth, smiling.

‘Wasn’t it for us he was suffering

On the cross while hanging? ’.

Alas my savior is there

Where people do suffer.

 Written on 24^th January 2012; after I got a very disturbing call in early morning.

Lord consoled me by revealing these words 

Lord I come to your presence; your house of refuge.

When the storms of this world leave me bitter and cold.

Take me under your wings

Make my heart glow with warmth of your love.

O Lord, shake me over

Press me down

Let your life overflow.

Lord I come to your word; your house of strength.

When the wilderness seems not to end, leaving me broken and hopeless.

Cover me in your arms; let your grace surround me.

Help me overflow with your Joy.

O Lord, shake me over

Press me down

Let your life overflow.
