പാവം പിടിച്ച സിംഗ് മേടിച്ച കമ്പ്യൂട്ടറിന്റെ ഓരോ കുഴപ്പങ്ങളെ ...എനിക്കിന്ന് കിട്ടിയ മെയിലില്‍ നിന്നും .....

Letter from Banta Singh to Mr. Bill Gates

Subject: Problems with my new കമ്പ്യൂട്ടര്‍



Dear Mr. Bill Gates,


We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some problems, which I want to bring to your notice:

1. There is a button 'start' but there is no 'stop' button. We request you to check this.

2. One doubt is whether any “re-scooter” is available in system? I find only “re-cycle”, but I own a scooter at my home.

3. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this 'find' button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.

4. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when you will provide that?

5. I bought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'My Computer': when you will provide the remaining items?

6. It is surprising that windows says 'MY Pictures' but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.

7. There is 'MICROSOFT OFFICE' what about 'MICROSOFT HOME' since I use the PC at home only.

8. You provided 'My Recent Documents'. When you will provide 'My Past Documents'?

9. You provide 'My Network Places'. For God sake please do not provide 'My Secret Places'. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.

Regards,
Banta

Last one to Mr. Bill Gates:

Sir, how is it that your name is Gates but you are selling WINDOWS?

THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS

എനിക്ക് ലഭിച്ച ഒരു ഇമെയില്‍ നിങ്ങള്ക് വേണ്ടി ....


F
or the next 60 seconds, set aside what ever you're doing and take this opportunity! Let's see if satan can stop this.
THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS
[]
At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to the death penalty.
[]
At the time crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals condemned to be crucified. Yet it was even more dreadful for Jesus, unlike other criminals condemned to death by crucifixtion Jesus was to be nailed to the cross by His hands and feet.
[]
Each nail was 6 to 8 inches long.




[]
The nails were driven into His wrist. Not into His palms as is commonly portrayed. There's a tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder. The Roman guards knew that when the nails were being hammered into the wrist that tendon would tare and brake, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support himself so that He could breath.
[]
Both of His feet were nailed together. Thus He was forced to support Himself on the single nail that impaled His feet to the cross. Jesus could not support himself with His legs because of the pain so He was forced to alternate between arching His back then using his legs just to continue to breath. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the suffering, the courage.
[]
Jesus endured this reality for over 3 hours.

Yes, over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of suffering? A few minutes before He died, Jesus stopped bleeding.

He was simply pouring water from his wounds.
[]
From common images we see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound to His side. But do we realize His wounds were actually made in his body. A hammer driving large nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped and an even large nail hammered through the arches, then a Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But before the nails and the spear Jesus was whipped and beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that His face was torn and his beard wripped from His face. The crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp. Most men would not have survived this torture.
[]
He had no more blood to bleed out, only water poured from His wounds.
The human adult body contains about 3.5 litres (just less than a gallon) of blood.
[]
Jesus poured all 3.5 litres of his blood; He had three nails hammered into his members; a crown of thorns on his head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into his chest.
[]
All these without mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying his own cross for almost 2 kilometres, while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part, where his hands were nailed).
[]
Jesus had to endure this experience, so that you can have free access to God.
So that your sins could be "washed" away. All of them, with no exception! Don't ignore this situation. JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU! For you, who now read this e-mail. Do not believe that He only died for others (those who go to church or for pastors, bishops, etc).
[]
He died for you! It is easy to pass jokes or foolish photos by e-mail, but when it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward to others because you are worried of what they may think about you.



Accept the reality, the truth that JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD.
[]
God has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced to save you. Now think about this! May God bless your life!
[]
60 seconds with God....

For the next 60 seconds, set aside what you're doing and take this opportunity! Let's see if satan can stop this.
[]
All you have to do is:
1. Simply pray for the person who sent this message to you: Lord, you know the life of _________. I ask You to bless him/her in all things and make him/her prosperous. Take care of his/her family, his/her health, his/her work and all his/her future plans. Lead him/her not into temptation, but deliver him/her from evil. In Jesus' name, amen.
2.Then, send this message to 10 people.
3.10 people will pray for you and you will make that many people pray to God for other people.
4. Take a moment to appreciate the power of God in your life, for doing what pleases Him.
If you are not ashamed to do this, please, follow Jesus' instructions. He said (Matthew 10:32 & 33): "Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven; but whosoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven".
If you believe, send this message... But send it only if you believe in Christ Jesus is your Lord and Savior.
Yes, I love God. He is my source of life and my saviour. He keeps me alive day and night.
Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me". Philippians 4:13.
This is the simple proof. If you love God and you are believe and trust in salvation through Christ Jesus, send this to all those you love.



See the work of the hands of GOD and Praise Him,
For he is WITH US !

Let us thank GOD for this day,,
And for the Beautiful nature:
the most precious gift of God for us !!!
GOOD DAY

Finding the Pasture... you will be Amazed!!


Finding the pasture

We are living in a world of confusion and uncertainties. People are confused about their life, jobs and family life. Most of them have some hope; they just live by sight. Even in the ministry field many people ask the same question, why am I not a success, or what is the reason I am struggling in my ministry?
They usually start to compare themselves with other people. Look he is a success, look at her she is a success, we studied together but I am still struggling. The Bible says ask and it shall be given, seek and it shall be found, knock and it shall be opened unto you.
In Jn 10.9,10 9I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
When I was reading this portion I was started thinking about the meaning of “Pasture” and finding the pasture. It was a new revelation for me. I was so excited to receive that revelation, actually it was eye opening for me, and an answer for many questions I had asked and I was asked.
Salvation is a process. It has a day of beginning, but it is like a tree growing after planting. Without a seed or stump it wont grow. Even after planting it needs water, nutrition, and daily attention by the gardener. Here in verse 9 it says, I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
Jesus is saying I am the door, if any one enters by Me will be saved, and after that the scripture explains three stages. 1) Coming in; 2) Going out; 3) Finding the pasture.
Three stages of salvation experience are coming in, going out and finding the pasture. Some people will come in, some people will come in and go out, some people will come in, go out and be in a wrong pasture, some people will come in, go out and find the pasture, which is an amazing area. The three things I just mentioned should be lined up, otherwise people will struggle.

The reason for struggle is disorder. Order will bring blessing, disorder will lead to constant struggle. For example submission to leadership, being teachable and waiting for Gods timing are part of Gods order. If youre not teachable to those above you, then God cannot teach you. This will lead to us taking our own decisions, and ending up in a mess because we have not submitted to the Godly order of submission. Another example is when someone who is called by God to be a pastor is walking in an area of ministry that they have not been called to, such as being an evangelist. Although they are doing ministry there is a disorder in that they are not following Gods specific call on their life, and they will experience struggle in their ministry. There are always going to be struggles and trials in our life, I fully agree. Many people think and teach that if you are a Christian, there are no more struggles. But that is not true. You need to face struggles but you wont experience failures. God will use opportunities to mould us. In order to mould our character and to shape us, sometimes He will allow struggles and trials, but He never allows us to fall. Struggles that come out of order lead to life and character formation but struggles that come out of disorder will lead to spiritual death and sinking relationships.
1. Coming in
The reason why we should come in is because the outside is not safe or you are not safe. Here Jesus is standing as a door, the door being the way we usually use to come in and go out. Without a door it is not possible to come in and go out. Suppose we have a beautiful house but no doors, that would be really funny!! After making a beautiful house if people ask you to come in you will come through the door, then you can be inside the house. The door is the entrance to a safe place. Without a door you cant enjoy the security provided by that house; the door wont come to the person, but the person has to enter through the door.
Once you are inside the door, you can enjoy the comfort of being inside, but you have to adjust to the principles of that house. While you were outside your thought patterns were influenced by the outside your words, your behaviours, and your character. But once you are inside that atmosphere will mould you. Inside you are in the Kingdom Training Centre area (K T C). Kingdom principles and kingdom nature, the nature of the king will be transformed into your life. That is the place character formation and impartation happens. Many times people think that anointing will decide each persons character, but that is not true. Anointing will help for your character development, but it is inside the door that God will teach humility, submission, and the need of the power of the Holy Spirit.
In the Gospels we can see that Jesus encouraged His disciples to wait for the anointing of the Holy spirit. So they did and we can see the tremendous changes after that. Waiting time is not a wasting time. Even in the life of Jesus the first area on which father God focused was his character, which mainly grew while he was with his parents in submission and obedience, then only was He anointed for the mission. That is why the reason we need to come in first.
2. Going out
Once we are ready to go out God will encourage and release us to go out to the same place we were before, the same place we were defeated, the same place we were struggling to lead a successful life. We are back here with grace and power because we have come from inside, moulded by God for His plan and purpose in order for us to be a blessing to the community, country and to families. Previously we were a headache to the community, experiencing peace-less houses, broken marriages, rejected children. But once you are moulded by God, you will be overcoming the situations by His strength. I have seen many lives that have been changed after this experience, families who have been restored, people who overcame their insecurity. Wow!! What a change. When you come outside the situations will be the same as before, but the way you are facing the situations is different from before. Before you were under the problem, but now you are here to overcome the problem, to face the giant, to deal with the problem not to escape, to defeat not to flee from the realities of our life. In Luke Ch 10 .19 we are told, Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
ROM 16.20 says And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. Before you were struggling to deal with your family issues. In this place you can overcome sin and sickness.
3. Finding the pasture
The first two areas are understandable to most believers, but the third part is the most important part. If you miss that, you miss every thing, like having run the entire race you miss your final point or the finishing point.
Finding the pasture is being in your calling. God has a plan for your life, which is the reason God has created you in this earth, so being in your calling is the most important thing, and that is your pasture. You have no need to create that pasture, as it has already been created by your dad, even before you were born, but many people miss this point. They think doing ministry is the main thing, but doing ministry in the right place is the most important thing. Being in the right place at the right time.
Columbus discovered America, and Faraday invented electricity. America was there even before Columbus was born, but electricity was an invention. Here finding the pasture is understanding your calling and even being in the right geographical place. In that place you will have to face challenges but no defeat, there will be warfare but no failure. Even when you feel you are a failure if you are in the pasture you have not failed.
If God called you as a teacher be there and be in your pasture for His glory. It is not about what youd like to be or how excited you are by someone elses ministry and wishing that you could do the same as them, but it is all about being in the will of God. I fully believe God will equip you before you are placed in the pasture, because you have come from inside, equipped to fight and to win. In the pasture there will be angels ministering for you, and you will be surrounded by His glory, because you are in the will of God,
In the pasture God will fight for you. The battle belongs to the Lord, because you are empowered by His power and grace. If anything happens to you when you are in the pasture it would be a shame for you have to face challenges but you will never fail, or whatever happens in your life when you are in the will of God is according to the plan of God.
Rom 8.28And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, [even] to them that are called according to [his] purpose. Many people think that the pasture is problem free. No, not at all, look at the pasture of Jesus and Paul, full of problems and challenges. In the case of Jesus, even His mother had doubts about Him before He was conceived, which could be seen as a form of early rejection (see Luke 1), rejection from his father Joseph after the conception of Jesus when he was afraid of accepting Mary’s pregnancy which was not as a result of him. When He was growing I think he faced rejection from friends and families (even if the Bible does not specifically mention that), rejection from his own community and synagogue, authorities, the public, rich people...... I think in every way he was rejected, even at that last moment he cried “father, father why have you forsaken me??”
Oh that is really painful, the most painful moment in His life. Was Jesus in His right calling? Was he in the right place of ministry? Did his birth happen in the right way? Of course He was and did! When people look at the things happening in your life they might ask, even after his salvation and walk with God why he is still struggling? Even if you’re in God’s will, you may still feel at times that you have been rejected. Rejection does not mean that you’re out of God’s plan.
But if you are in the pasture you are safe, so make sure you are in your calling. God will guide you and lead you; once you are in the pasture KOG is ruling you, you are under the kingship of Jesus, with the heavenly passport, when I travel in different nations I know the value of my passport, every man in this world should be a part of a nation. If anything happens to an Indian, India will deal with it, if anything happens to a British national, the UK will deal with it. Like wise if anything happens to a child of God, KOG will deal with it. Isn't it amazing? Of course it is.
If you feel confused, and are wondering about your pasture and the areas God has called you to, the first step is to ask God to lead you, then identify your calling, be in your calling, be fruitful and multiply.
May God bless you, you will make history for Jesus when you are in your pasture. Wow!!
I am excited to hear from you,
God Bless you
