Snack for the Soul

Strength from the Lord MESSAGE BY PASTOR RATAN Snack for the Soul Pastor Ratan Babu Baipa November 24, 2022 He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honour to his name.- Psalm 23:3 (NLT) Psalm 23:3 (NLT) As humans, we become weak and weary. Physically We get tired from our daily work and become exhausted mentally and spiritually dried up. Therefore, there is a need for renewal of strength and restoration for our souls on a daily basis. We can only go a certain distance without strength. The Hebrew word ‘El Sali’ means, “The Lord is our STRENGTH or The LORD is my ROCK”. King David drew his strength from the Lord. As a king David faced many enemies and stress from his reign, he was tired and needed strength and restoration. David always looked upon God for strength and often prayed, praised, and waited in the presence of God to draw his strength from God. He says in Psalm 18:1, “I love You Fervently and devotedly, O LORD, my strength.” Know Our Strength comes from the Lord. God is the source of our strength. We can draw our strength from God by daily spending time in His presence and trust in His power. 01 Feel Empowered. Receive God’s strength and power. 02 Do Read God’s word which is the Bread for our Soul. Ask Holy Spirit to fill with His Power and might. Help others who are weak. 03 We too need daily strength through the renewal and restoration of our souls. The Prophet Isaiah wrote, “but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” (Is.40:31) ESV. Trust God and wait upon Him for your daily strength.

Making Godly Choices MESSAGE BY PASTOR RATAN Snack for the Soul Pastor Ratan Babu Baipa October 17, 2022 Making Godly Choices | Life Lessons from Daniel Part 1 Life revolves around choices, and choices have ripple effects. Every day we make choices that have negative consequences or positive consequences. Some of these consequences may have a lasting impact on our lives. Having been exiled from Jerusalem by king Nebuchadnezzar to Babylon, Daniel was faced with making the first decision. He had to choose whether or not to eat the food and wine offered to him. Let’s look at how Daniel made a choice and dealt with it. Daniel Did Not Compromise Godly Standards We read in Daniel 1:9, “But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.” Daniel and his friends received a luxury from the king. Many of the exiled men gave in to this offer, but Daniel resolved and purposed in his heart not to defile himself. Since this privilege was against God’s moral standards, which could lead him away from living a godly life, Daniel immediately made a faith-based choice. Strong faith in God led him to this choice. He knew that if he did not look healthy and handsome by the end of the king’s deadline, he might be judged harshly.  But reading the story further, we know that at the end of ten days, Daniel and his friends appeared ten times better and wiser. When others choose wine and meat, Daniel and his friends choose a vegetarian diet and water. “Never Compromise godly standards.” // Recent Post edit post How To De-Stress September 23, 2024 edit post Pray Like Jesus September 22, 2024 edit post Wait for the Lord and not to be put to Shame September 21, 2024 edit post The Lord is my Rock and Fortress and Deliverer September 21, 2024 edit post The Cross Cannot Be Concealed September 21, 2024 edit post Unwavering Faith June 11, 2024 // Categories Snack for the Soul Daily Inspiration // Gallery Explore Our Ministries Come and Join Ministries

O Be Careful of Your Words MESSAGE BY PASTOR RATAN Snack for the Soul Pastor Ratan Babu Baipa October 16, 2022 Dearly beloved in Christ, The Book of James tells us that “the tongue is a small part of the body” (James 3:5). But it goes on to talk about the tongue as if it has a personality, not like a physical part of the body. James goes on to say how this looks. *With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it, we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness (James 3:9).* We often speak words without even thinking if it is hurting the other person and wrecking his life. Therefore, We should think hundred times before we speak. When the Bible is talking about the power in the tongue, it’s talking about the words we say. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. | Proverbs 18:21 There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. | Proverbs 12:18 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak. Matthew 12:36 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words, you will be condemned.” | Matthew 12:37 Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. | Proverbs 16:24 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. | Proverbs 15:1 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you (James 1:19-21). So Finally, I want to admonish that as children of God we must *” GROW UP”* in spiritual maturity and use our tongue constructively. If you do not know how to speak, learn how to speak, seek God’s help, but let’s not hurt others. With Christ’s Love!

Jesus Never Fails Snack for the Soul Pastor Ratan Babu Baipa October 15, 2022 John 2:1-12 Who do you go to when you are at the peak of a difficult situation? Can you handle the situation alone, all by yourself? What would you do if it would spoil your entire family’s reputation? The NeedJesus and His disciples including His family attended a wedding where the wine ran out. It’s going to turn into a humiliating situation not only for the groom’s family but also for Jesus’ family because it seems like the entire family of Jesus was invited, so I assume that they could be a family member. We also understand this by Mary walking to Jesus and with the need of the hour. Someone has to come up with a quick fix solution, an instant miracle to this situation. And they found none but Jesus. Running out of Food is humiliation in any setting of the wedding to this day, but running out of wine in ancient weddings at the time of Jesus is even a huge shame and humiliation. Jesus Steps inNow Jesus knowing the situation and the lack of wine steps in. He commands the servants to fill in the stone water jars, six of them up to the brim. Each jar is capable of holding twenty to thirty gallons of water which is roughly 800 liters of water. Now He simply asks them to go and serve the water to the master of ceremonies. He drinks and calls the groom and says Well, Are you kidding me? “A host always serves the best wine first, then when everyone has a lot to drink, he brings out the less expensive wine. But you have kept the best until now!” The water now turned into the best wine. The tasteless water into delicious wine in a matter of no time. When Jesus steps into any situation in your life, he will turn the situation and brings out the best. Give Him your sorrow, tears, ashes, and something BEST will come out of it. He turns mourning into dancing,He turns Sorrow into JoyHe turns the worst into the BestHe turns ashes into beauty. Know Jesus• The Presence of Jesus meets the need of the hour.• Jesus cares for the reputation of people.• Jesus turns life as a mess into beauty.• There is nothing impossible to God.• Jesus did miracles so people may believe in Him and glorify the father in heaven. Come to Jesus today with a humble and obedient heart. No matter what you are going through and what mess has been created in your life. Be assured that Jesus will step in and give you a solution and bring you out of it. Just trust Him! * // Recent Post edit post How To De-Stress September 23, 2024 edit post Pray Like Jesus September 22, 2024 edit post Wait for the Lord and not to be put to Shame September 21, 2024 edit post The Lord is my Rock and Fortress and Deliverer September 21, 2024 edit post The Cross Cannot Be Concealed September 21, 2024 edit post Unwavering Faith June 11, 2024 // Categories Snack for the Soul Daily Inspiration // Gallery Explore Our Ministries Come and Join Ministries
