COMMITMENT


  

We learn Commitment towards one another from our Triune God. Though believing in Triune God there are some who do not believe in commitment- be it church or family life or any other area of their life. They want blessings and prosperity in their life but they are professional jumpers, i.e., jumping from one church to another and being committed to none, doing whatever pleases them, at the end of it all they want is to get blessings and prosperity. However, the fact remains that it is impossible to receive the blessings and prosperity they aspire to when they are a church hopper!

The Bible mentions in Psalm 92:12 “The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon.” It further adds in Psalm 92:13 “planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God.” It is clearly stated above that it is not only important to be righteous but also equally necessary to be planted (connected) in the house of the Lord. Notice the word, ‘planted (connected)’ and not just being a visitor, i.e., in other words being committed and planted in the local church and being committed to the pastor and to the congregation. You may say that you are a member of a universal church (unseen church); but dear sir, the Universal Church is made up of local churches!! My friend whosoever you are, you ought to be committed to a local Bible believing church. You cannot ignore a Bible based church as your blessing is hidden inside that church.  

You may go to a church where nobody knows you and you may think you can visit any church as you please where the word is not preached. That is certainly not the type of church the Christ had in His mind when He said that He would build His church as mentioned in Matthew 16:18. Dear friend, I beseech you in the authority of God’s word to be planted in the local church where God has placed you and called you to be. Now the question arises how and where do we learn this commitment? The answer is, undoubtedly, from the Triune God whom we ought to practice in our everyday life! 

Testimony: During my stay in Jamshedpur, my family and I were committed to a local church for thirty years. Being committed to the local church eventually, God blessed us with a local church in Navi Mumbai with showers of blessings and prosperity with multitudes getting healed, delivered, and saved in every service, ultimately leading to life in abundance.

परमेश्वर मेरा प्रथम स्थान

                                भजन संहिता   १३९:१ हे यहोवा, तू ने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है। हे परमेश्वर, तूने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है इस अध्याय के, शुरुआत में भजनकार यह कहता है कि “ हे परमेश्वर, तूने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है,अर्थात परमेश्वर एक व्यक्ति को जाँचने के बाद ही जान लेता है’’|अब यहाँ पर सवाल यह उठता है कि परमेश्वर ऐसा क्यों करते है | जी हाँ, इस सवाल का जवाब काफी सरल है परमेश्वर एक व्यक्ति को इसलिए परखता है क्योंकि वह यह देखना चाहता है कि उस व्यक्ति का दिल “ परमेश्वर के प्रेम के प्रति है या नहीं ’’और ख़ासकर उस व्यक्ति के जीवन में उसका “प्रथम स्थान’’ है या नहीं | आपको एक बात हमेशा याद रखनी है कि आपको अपने पति, पत्नी, बच्चे या फिर धन — संपत्ति यानि सारी चीजों से बढ़कर और सबसे ऊँचा जो प्रेम करना है, वो परमेश्वर से प्रेम करना है | जैसे दाऊद राजा को परमेश्वर ने जाँच लिया था कि यह मेरे दिल के मुताबिक व्यक्ति है | परमेश्वर ने वाचा के अनुसार अब्राहम को बेटा दिया; जब उसकी उम्र सौ वर्ष की थी और बाद में उस बे...

My Testimony - Apostle Winston Joseph, Ph. D

  Healed from Asthama Many years ago, I had asthma. It was a hereditary disease in my family and I witnessed one of my aunts who died because of it in a very dreadful situation. She was hanged upside down to ease her predicament. I had the same disease and there was a time in my life when I could not sit nor stand because of the illness. I could not breathe properly and sometimes I used to have excruciating pain at my back due to the that illness. Also, I had severe dust allergy, even if a little dust went into my nostrils, I would sneeze for a long time. But when I came to know that the Word is the truth and that the fact can be changed through the truth , I started to take hold of the Word and declare and decree it for days and days. Devil used to show me the fact that this disease is incurable. But I kept on declaring the truth i.e. the Word until I was totally healed and delivered from that disease. Now I know that I am born of the Spirit, walking in glory in divine health whi...

CELEBRATION OF SALVATION

  The Monthly Devotional E-magazine for December titled  "CELEBRATION OF  SALVATION"  by their Excellency, Apostle Winston Joseph and Sister Parveen Winston  is now available for all Partners of AWJM.  Many a man has been looking for salvation. They assume that they would receive salvation through some knowledgeable person or through some religious performance that is like saying that their act would take them through. Of course, we honour them those knowledgeable and wise men who have done well for the country today and are gone There are some exemplary in whose  honour we have  names of roads, flyovers, towns, railway stations, airports, colleges, universities etc. However, redemption is impossible through knowledgeable or wise men or through religious performance because to redeem men is not in the hands of men. In reality, it is only the Bible that says, ‘Every human must attain salvation’ but the question remains how? Salvation is the Preciou...
