Talented Car

A young man bought a car. It runs 250 km per an hour. Actually he went to the city with his friends to buy it. After taking car he took them to the restaurant. Every one ate whatever they liked. They celebrated. When they got into the car to go back to their village, he found one of his friends, who was a lazy, wasn't happy.

"what happen"

"nothing" replied lazy friend

"you are not looking happy like others"

Lazy friend replied, "did you throw party for this ugly car?"

"hey, dont scold my car. its highly TALENTED car. whats wrong with my car?"

"you said that it is a car that goes 250km per an hour. Until now it could not reach maximum 70. I thought of going faster and enjoy but... its a lazy car" replied lazy

This young man controlled himself and said, "look the road. this is a market. people are all around. PEOPLE ARE BLOCKING MY TALENTED CAR. you cannot go faster even if you wanted to go faster. I will show you how fast it goes right after we got on to the highway."

An another friend said, "DO WE REALLY NEED ALL THOSE PEOPLE on our road? why dont you blow the horn and get rid of them?"

Now, when the car came on to the road, the car took high speed. there are some trucks going slow. Yet there is no problem because its highway, BROAD ROAD. if something blocks its way, car just takes left or right and goes faster. Easy driving.

There was a tollgate and car stopped there to PAY. highway is broad road but you have to stop often because you got to pay.

"what happen? why did the car stopped?" the lazy friend asked

"every one know why the car stopped. how come you dont know"

lazy replied, "oh, i was sleeping".

One of his friend said, "There are some people in the world who thinks that our talents are a lullaby for them."

Another one said, "sometimes you can find them even in your own house."

They paid the price and then they headed up to their village. Some time later the car stopped again. This lazy friend opened his eyes and asked, "what happen?"

His friend said, "there is a big stone on the road"

Lazy said, "why dont you take left or right"

"Hey, we are in our village. This is not highway. This is NARROW ROAD. you cannot take left or right. we cannot move until we remove that block. This stone has to go left or right, not the car" his friend replied.

And he GOT DOWN from his talented car. He BOWED DOWN and took stone and threw it to the side of the road. Now his talented car moved to go to his destiny.

Better Covenant

Elijah was privileged to have a great invitation. God sent him fiery chariot pulled by fiery horses.

John the Baptist got the same spirit but he did not get the fiery chariot but fiery sufferings. He was beheaded. 

Which one is the better invitation? the former or the latter? What do you think?

There are some people "tortured, not accepting release, to obtain resurrection to a better life." (Heb. 11:35)

New Testament is better than the Old one. It is unique by its sufferings for the One whom we loved. I am looking for a better resurrection. Do you?

Me and Elijah

Bible said that Elijah is same like you and me. Then why i could not do the things he did? Yes he is same like you and me but he did not pray same like you and me. He said to Ahab to go and eat but he Fasted and prayed For rain even after the Lord told him that he is going to send rain! We raise up prayer after God tells us that he is going to send rain.

Hey, you can do it. Just like Elijah do not give up until you see your vision coming true.

(Jas 5:17-18 [NET])
Elijah was a human being like us, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain and there was no rain on the land for three years and six months! Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the land sprouted with a harvest.

Ex. 22:1-4 You will never lose

A thief ran into a house. He took a sheep and a bull. He left the house, walked for a while and then sold the bull and killed the sheep and ate. Now he is worthy of 6 kinds of Judgments.(Exodus 22:1-4)
1. Can be killed
2. Can be beaten
3. Can be sold
4. Return what he stole
5. Return two fold
6. Return four fold

One sin and six punishments?

No. Any of those six, depends on the time you caught him. First 3 are punishments and the next 3 are restitution. First three are paid to the one who harmed you and next three are paid by the one who harmed you.

God loves you. He is the judge. He will never let the thief Satan steal from you. Even if you lose anything, God will make a restitution.

Egyptians thought that they got free slaves. God gave them punishments with ten plagues and let them make restitution by giving silver and gold.

The thief Satan took 7000 sheep from Job. God gave 14000. Thief took 3000 camels and God gave 6000. Job 42:12

If you lose anything and you think its late. More late more restitution. It increases.

God might sometimes forgive those who hurt you and cease the punishment but he never stop restitution. Example is here in Exod 21:18 [KJV])

"And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed: If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed."
Laban took 20 years of hard work from Jacob and thought he was brilliant. He was not punished but at the end God gave him more that even Laban's sons said, “Jacob has taken everything that belonged to our father!...” Gen. 31:1

You will never lose. You have a God who loves you. 

My enemies and my weapons

I am happy that my enemies have good enough weapons. My weapons are made by my enemies because i have no time to make them but only to use them. If Goliath doesn't come with his sword, how can I kill him? i did not make a big one. If red sea did not block my way, where would i drown Egyptians? It is good that Haman made a tallest gallows for me because I cannot make it to hang him. I am happy that Canaanites are giants and strong since the soil there was difficult to cultivate but they prepared it for me before i go there. Oh God, how much you love me!

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how fathomless his ways! ​​​​​​​For who has known the mind of the Lord, ​​​​​​or who has been his counselor? ​​​​​​​Or who has first given to God, ​​​​​​that God needs to repay him? For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever! Amen.

(Rom 11:33-36 [NET])

Dignity vs divinity

Someone said, "I dont like the way God did. Why God sends a man of God to Eli to share a message, while HE himself went to a child Samuel to share a message?"

He was answered, "God is not concerned of dignity but divinity."

Matt. 7:3-4 Speck of overlooking a speck

Once Mr. Someone asked John, "you knew that Judas has been stealing money. Why don't you tell Jesus?"

"I wanted to, but when I heard that Jesus was saying, 'how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ while there is a log in your own?' I stopped the idea of telling Jesus about Judas" John replied to that Someone.

Then Mr. Someone replied, "but John, you are not saying to Judas 'let me remove the speck from your eye. What you are saying to the Lord is, 'Lord remove the speck from Judas' eye'

Then John realized and told to Jesus about Judas.
