Life to the Full Measure – Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran
Dear friend, today the Lord is promising you from John 10:28: “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of My hand.” Accordingly, you and I will be living with Christ forever. What a joy it is!
In the book of John 5:24, the Lord assures us that whoever hears His word and believes in Him will have eternal life and will not be judged. This means that we do not have to fear death because we have already crossed over from death to life. All we need to do is LISTEN to the word of God and TRUST in Him. The Lord sacrificed Himself on the cross and took away our sins so that we can have a life free from sin. He gives us more than just eternal life; He gives us the ability to enjoy life to the fullest. The Lord promised us that we will never perish. This means that we will not be punished in hell because we have believed in Jesus Christ, the Lord. Even when we face difficult times like Martha, who lost her brother, the Lord assures us that whoever believes in Him will not die. He wants us to fully understand how He can give us eternal life. The Lord gives us life in Christ. When we believe in Him, He enables us to enjoy life on earth and in the afterlife. He also assures us that no one can snatch us out of His hand. His hands hold the universe together, and they are strong enough to protect us from any harm. Even when we face challenges or threats from the devil or other people, we can be confident that the Lord will not leave us. I recall an incident where I was praying for people and there came a lady possessed by a demon for prayer. The demon in the lady threatened me by saying that it would harm my children. I was afraid, but the Lord reassured me that nothing would happen. I obeyed Him and cast out the demon, and the lady was delivered. This experience taught me that the Lord is always with us and nothing can harm us.
My friend, there may be times when the devil can lie about you and your family or even make threats. Similarly, people can also pose threats to you. However, you can take comfort in knowing that the Lord will always keep you safe in His loving hands. You should always remember that nothing and no one can separate you from God’s infinite love. The Lord gives Himself for you to enjoy life – life to the full measure. You will enjoy eternal life also from the Lord. Be of good cheer! Nothing can harm you. Nobody can pluck you out of God’s hand.
PRAYER:
Precious Lord, I am grateful for Your endless love and care for me. You want me to lead a life that is not just temporary but everlasting with You. Thank You for this promise of eternal life. I pray that You will help me overcome death and experience life to the fullest. Please fill me with Your life and completely remove the death of sin and infirmity. I believe in Your power to resurrect, just like You did with Lazarus. Please resurrect my soul and body with Your divine touch. Let Your life flow into me completely. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
