Hymn For Today



Pleasant are Thy courts above
In the land of light and love
Pleasant are Thy courts below
In this land of sin and woe
O my spirit longs and faints
For the converse of Thy saints
For the brightness of Thy Face
For Thy fullness God of grace

Happy birds that sing and fly
Round Thy altars O Most High
Happier souls that find a rest
In a Heavenly Father’s breast
Like the wandering dove that found
No repose on earth around
They can to their ark repair
And enjoy it ever there

Happy souls their praises flow
Even in this vale of woe
Waters in the desert rise
Manna feeds them from the skies
On they go from strength to strength
Till they reach Thy Throne at length
At Thy Feet adoring fall
Who hast led them safe through all

Lord be mine this prize to win
Guide me through a world of sin
Keep me by Thy saving grace
Give me at Thy Side a place
Sun and Shield alike Thou art
Guide and guard my erring heart
Grace and glory flow from Thee

Shower, O shower them Lord on me.

The disciples had become comfortable with the presence and involvement of Jesus in their lives, but Jesus announced to them that it was necessary for Him to return to His Father in order that the Holy Ghost might come. If Jesus stayed, He would be only in one place at a time; but His Spirit would be everywhere at the same time. The disciples had to recognize therefore that growth and maturity come with sacrifice which involves willingness to step out of our comfort zone. God knows the best for you. Be sensitive to the leading of His Spirit. Desire progress but don't reject the change that brings it. Yes, you may be in an uncomfortable situation now, but God uses it to work out His purposes fo

God Is Not A Partial God

  God Is Not A Partial God   I want to say something to someone today and that is the title of this message - God is not a partial God. Every day that the Sun rises, it does not rise for certain people that God loves more than others, it rises for all (including even those who don't believe in the existence of God) Every night that the Moon shines, it does not shine for a select group of persons who God loves most, it shines for all irrespective of their religious affiliations including those who have no religion. The 4 seasons happen for all inhabitants of the earth - there is no discrimination. Life happens to all irrespective of our belief system. Good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people. Evil people prosper as much if not much more than good hearted people - Is that God's doing? You see, whenever you see someone doing something exceptional, something extraordinary it is not about luck, it is not about favour, it's not ev
