Greetings in the name of Lord Jesus Christ and best wishes for the year 2010!
Dear Friends, Brothers & Sisters
FEAR GOD, STAND FOR TRUTH HATE COVETOUSNESS
The year 2009 has been a very eventful year. From the context of the many disturbing events all across the world in the political, economical and with regard to the threat of nuclear war and many natural disasters, we have seen unprecedented difficulties faced by the entire population of six billion people in the world from the developed world to the under developed world and from West to East and North & South, many economic hardships, job losses, economic downturns and people are full of anxiety, fearful and looking very hopeless most of the time.
The year 2010 began with a disaster, which took place in Haiti with an earthquake in magnitude of 7, hitting the capital city of Haiti resulting in nearly over 300,000 being dead and another 500,000 injured and over a million made homeless. This indeed is a warning from none other than God himself to the world. While sympathising with the people of Haiti, the impact this poverty stricken nation felt as a result of this earthquake, the global leaders at large do not seem to understand the status of this present world that has evolved into. The world is full of arrogant leaders who have no respect for the fundamental social issues of the world. Hugely manifested self interest helped by the domineering spirit with an equally unsatisfying greed for dominance and power and wealth has widened the gap of the social injustices in the present world and it is no wonder the Bible very profoundly speaks about this :-
Quote
II Timothy, Chapter 3
- This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come,
- For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents. Unthankful, unholy,
- Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
- Traitors heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God “

In the light of the above mentioned facts, I want to encourage the church and the Christian Brothers & Sisters of the three important God given cardinal safe guards, which clearly signifies biblical principles practiced by the men of God in the old testament and the new testament to overcome many strong and unending challenges and still keep yourself pure and untouched and be identified as a genuine seed of God.
