சகலமும் நன்மைக்கு ஏதுவாக நடக்கிறது / ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD
🌿 'ஆதவன்' தியான எண்:- 1,004 🌿 🌹அக்டோபர் 28, 2023 சனிக்கிழமை
"And we
know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who
are the called according to his purpose." (Romans 8: 28)
Today's verse by the apostle
Paul is helpful to strengthen us in spiritual life. That is, even if we live a
life that is right for God, sometimes we experience sufferings and crises. We
should not lose heart in such situations. The reason is that all things work
together for good to those who love God.
We do not know what will
happen later in our life. God keeps some things secret about us. So, when we
suffer, we must realize that behind this suffering we have a great blessing. As
today's verse says, it is enough if we are those who love God as those who are
called according to His purpose.
To love God is to live away
from sin. A perfect example of today's meditation verse is Joseph. He was hated
by his siblings, sold as a slave, falsely accused, and imprisoned in a country
where he was a slave. All these are the deeds that God did as He loved him and already
decided to make him the prime minister of Egypt. He also feared God and kept
himself holy even when sinful situations came.
After he became prime
minister of Egypt, Joseph says to his brothers who tortured him and sold him as
a slave. "And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the
earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not
you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and
lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of
Egypt." (Genesis 45: 7,8)
It is God's plan to lead him through suffering and lift him up and protect the people. Yes, dear ones, Joseph did not know what was going to happen later when he was suffering. Yet he lived a faithful life before God.
The apostle Paul sends his
fellow worker Timothy to the church in Thessalonica to tell them that all
things are working together for good for those who love God, who are called
according to his purpose. So he writes, "And sent Timotheus, our
brother, and minister of God, and our fellow labourer in the gospel of Christ,
to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:”(1 Thessalonians 3
: 2 )
Beloved, therefore do not be
weary of suffering. When we love God, everything happens for our good.

திருச்சட்டமா விசுவாசமா? / COMMANDMENTS OR FAITH?

"விசுவாசிக்கிற எவனுக்கும் நீதி உண்டாகும்படியாகக் கிறிஸ்து நியாயப்பிரமாணத்தின் முடிவாயிருக்கிறார்." ( ரோமர் 10 : 4 )
இந்த உலகத்தில் பல்வேறு மத நம்பிக்கைகள் உள்ளன. ஒவ்வொரு மதங்களும் பல்வேறு சம்பிரதாய நம்பிக்கை முறைமைகளை வகுத்து அவற்றுக்குக் கீழ்ப்படிப்பவர்களே தங்கள் மத அனுதாபிகள் என்று தீர்மானிக்கின்றன. ஒரு மதத்தை நம்புகின்றவன் அந்த மதம் கூறும் கட்டளைகளுக்குக் கீழ்ப்படியவேண்டும். இப்படியே யூத மதமும் இருந்தது. யூதர்கள் பல்வேறு கட்டளைகளையும் சடங்கு முறைமைகளையும் அனுசரித்து வந்தனர். அவற்றைக் கடைபிடிப்பவனே உண்மையான யூதன் என்று கருதினர். யூதர்களது கட்டளைகளே நியாயப்பிரமாணம்.
ஆனால், நமது கர்த்தராகிய இயேசு கிறிஸ்து இந்தக் கட்டளைகளும் சடங்கு முறைமைகளும் அல்ல, மாறாகத் தனதுமேல் வைக்கும் விசுவாசமே முக்கியம் என்று கூறினார். ஆம், கிறிஸ்து மதத்தை உருவாக்க வரவில்லை. மாறாக, ஒரு மார்க்கத்தை மனிதர்களுக்குக் காண்பிக்கவே வந்தார். அந்த மார்க்கமே விசுவாச மார்க்கம். விசுவாச மார்க்கத்தில் நாம் வரும்போது இயல்பிலேயே நாம் தேவ கட்டளைகளுக்கும் கீழ்ப்படிந்துவிடுகின்றோம். கிறிஸ்து நியாயப்பிரமாணத்தின் முடிவாக வந்தார். எனவே அவரை விசுவாசிப்போர் கட்டளைகளுக்குக் கீழ்ப்பட்டவர்களல்ல. இதனையே அப்போஸ்தலரான பவுல், "விசுவாசிக்கிற எவனுக்கும் நீதி உண்டாகும்படியாகக் கிறிஸ்து நியாயப்பிரமாணத்தின் முடிவாயிருக்கிறார்." என்று கூறுகின்றார்.
அப்போஸ்தலரான யோவானும், "எப்படியெனில் நியாயப்பிரமாணம் மோசேயின் மூலமாய்க் கொடுக்கப்பட்டது, கிருபையும் சத்தியமும் இயேசுகிறிஸ்துவின் மூலமாய் உண்டாயின." ( யோவான் 1 : 17 ) என்கின்றார். மோசே கொடுத்த நியாயப்பிரமாண கட்டளையைவிட கிறிஸ்துவின் கிருபையும் சத்தியமும் மேலானவை.

"For Christ
is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth." (Romans
10: 4)
There are many different
religious beliefs in this world. Each religion lays down various formal belief
systems and designates those who follow them as their religious sympathizers. A
person who believes in a religion must obey the precepts of that religion. So
was Judaism. Jews observed various commandments and rituals. Those who observed
them were considered to be true Jews. The Jewish commandments are the law.
But our Lord Jesus Christ
said that it is not these commandments and rituals, but faith in Him that is
important. Yes, Christ did not come to create religion. Instead, he came to
show people a way. That way is the way of faith. When we come to the path of
faith, we naturally obey God's commandments. Christ came as the end of the law.
So those who believe in Him are not subject to commandments. This is what the
apostle Paul said, "Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to
everyone who believes."
And the apostle John said, "For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth
came by Jesus Christ." (John 1: 17) The grace and truth of
Christ are superior to the commandment of the law given by Moses.
Beloved, if we continue to
follow a few religious beliefs and religious rituals regularly and live without
coming into the grace of Christ, our life is a wasted life. It is not spiritual
life; Rather it is religious life. A life that makes us just religious.
"And
Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never
hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst." ( John 6 :
35 ) He
does not say that he who keeps the commandments of the law will never hunger or
thirst. Yes beloved, we must come to Him; We have to believe him.
If we come to Christ, it means that God the Father loves us and reveals Christ to us. It does not come from keeping commandments; Rather, it is the great reward that we receive by grace. So, when we draw near to Christ with faith, He will not cast us away. This is what Jesus Christ said in the Gospel of John, "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." (John 6: 37)
Yes, beloved, "Christ
is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes."
According to the verse, anyone means everyone regardless of religion, race,
caste and nationality. It means that whoever believes in Him, no matter who we are,
will be made righteous. It means that there is no need for religious rituals, traditions,
or laws. It means that it is important to have faith in Him. Let us believe in
him and get soul salvation and a higher heavenly life.

எல்லாவற்றையும் தேவனிடம் பேசுங்கள் / SPEAK EVERYTHING TO GOD

"Be
careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." (Philippians 4:
6)
Little children do not hide anything in their minds. They entrust everything to mother to the father. For example, a child returning from school will tell his mother and father everything that the teacher talked about in the class and what friends talked about while playing. By saying that, the children get some kind of joy in their hearts. But parents often don't listen to their children.
Many parents find it
irritating that their children talk like this. They will say, "Ok....ok go
and study or play" and chase those children away from them. Beloved,
sharing our experiences with others is a natural instinct within us. Humans are
socially conscious and therefore this consciousness is present in everyone.
But as people grow older
this sense diminishes and they start hiding many things. This is what causes
stress. Our God is not indifferent to our thoughts and longings. He wants His
children to share everything with Him in prayer. That is why in today's meditation
verse, the apostle Paul said, "Be careful for nothing;
but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your
requests be made known unto God."
God does not simply hear and forget our thoughts and
feelings; Rather, he answers them. So, when we tell him everything like this in
our prayers, he gives us comfort and comfort. Then our hearts will be filled
with God's peace. This is what the apostle Paul continues to write, "And
the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4: 7)
Beloved, no one is an orphan
in this world; We have a Mother and Father God who understands and responds to
our thoughts and longings. So, let's share everything good and bad that happens
to us in life with Him. Prayer is not simply reciting mantras but talking to
God; Listening to him speak. When our prayers become like this, the peace of
God that surpasses all understanding will fill our hearts and minds as the
apostle Paul says.
With our whole heart we should
talk to God as we talk to mother and father. Although He knows about us and our
problems, He is pleased when we tell them to Him through our mouths. He answers
us and reassures us.

நானே அவர் / I AM HE
ஆதவன் தியான எண்:- 1,000 அக்டோபர் 24, 2023 செவ்வாய்க்கிழமை
AATHAVAN
DAILY MEDITATION No:- 1,000 Tuesday October 24, 2023
"I that
speak unto thee am he." ( John 4 : 26 )
The Aathavan daily
meditation, which has been published continuously for the past three years,
completes its 1000th meditation today. I praise the Lord Jesus Christ with
gratitude for the grace to continue this meditation.
Today's meditation verse, "I that speak unto thee am
he." is a very small one, but this verse has turned many to know
the Lord. A friend of mine is a Hindu. But at an early age he had a desire to
know who the real God is. He continued to study the holy books of many
religions. Finally reading the scriptures today's verse spoke to him. "Son,
I am He who is talking to you. You are wandering somewhere trying to know the
true God, and I who am talking to you now is the one you are looking for".
Beloved, he gave himself to Christ that very day and is now ministering. Why should we know Christ as true God? Worship with garlands and fragrant incense sticks like other deities? No. Jesus Christ says, "For if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." (John 8: 24)
Jesus spoke today's verse to the Samaritan woman. She was living a life of prostitution. She already had five husbands; the one who is with her now is also not her husband. This was her life. But the Lord Jesus Christ, who came in search of sinners, revealed himself to her. My daughter said, "I am he that speaketh unto thee."
Beloved, He will reveal
Himself to us if we look to Him with a longing to know the true God and to have
our sins forgiven. He not only forgives our sins but also changes our lives.
Not only in the New Testament, but also in the Old Testament, it was our Lord Jesus Christ who spoke to the devotees. He was not born just 2000 years ago. Yes, God says through the prophet Isaiah, "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." (Isaiah 44: 6)
"Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first,
I also am the last."(Isaiah 48: 12) He is the former and the
latter. Let us commit ourselves to Him. The reason why many people today do not
believe in Christ as God is because they consider him to have been born only
two thousand years ago. Yes dears, let us change this thought; Let us know the
truth. If we do not believe that He was the forerunner, we will die in our sins
as Christ said. He will reveal Himself to us if we try to know Him. He will
bless us by saying, "Son, daughter, I am the one who speaks to you";
He will lead.

ஐவகை ஊழியங்கள் / FIVE TYPES OF MINISTRIES
ஆதவன் 🔥 999🌻 அக்டோபர் 23, 2023 திங்கள்கிழமை
"அவர், சிலரை அப்போஸ்தலராகவும், சிலரைத் தீர்க்கதரிசிகளாகவும், சிலரைச் சுவிசேஷகராகவும், சிலரை மேய்ப்பராகவும் போதகராகவும் ஏற்படுத்தினார்." ( எபேசியர் 4 : 13 )
AATHAVAN 🔥 999🌻 Monday, October 23, 2023
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists;
and some, pastors and teachers;” (Ephesians 4: 11)
In
today's meditation, the apostle Paul talks about the five types of ministry
that God has established. God planned to build the kingdom of God in the world
by establishing ministries such as apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and
teachers.
Though
there are five types of ministry and the purpose of all types of ministry is
the same. That is, "That
we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with
every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby
they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up
into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:"( Ephesians 4 :
14, 15 )
In
order for us not to be swept away like waves by various winds of deceitful and
false teachings, He has established such ministries that we may grow up in Christ,
who is the head, in all things, holding on to love and truth.
In
other words, God established such ministries so that somehow people would know
God and live a life suitable to Him and thus attain eternal life. Evangelists
travel and preach the gospel among different peoples. The souls they gain are
cared for by pastors and pastors. Prophets promote faith and turn people away
from the wrong path. Apostolic servants confirm apostolic teaching.
Beloved, our main concern
today is not about these various ministries. On the contrary, it is necessary
to realize how much God loves people. As the apostle Paul wrote to Timothy, "Who will have all
men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."(1 Timothy 2:
4)
If
all men are to be saved, these various types of service are necessary. If there
are only church services, people outside the church will not come to the church
to seek God by themselves.
Yes
beloved, if God has done this because somehow all people want to know Him, how
faithful we must be to Him!! So it is our duty to announce the Lord Jesus as
much as we can.
Evangelism
is something we all can do. Let us proclaim Christ by our lives and words as
much as we can. Let's gather souls into right congregations and help them grow
in spiritual life. We should have the desire that all men to be saved and come
to the knowledge of the truth.

"But
now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of
Christ." (Ephesians 2: 13)
Scripture compares the relationship between Christ and us as believers to a marriage relationship. Before we marry someone we have nothing to do with them and their family. But after marriage with him we become close relatives with them. We are family relatives.
In
the same way, we used to live wickedly without knowing Christ and were distant
from Him. But now we are close to Christ after being washed by His blood and
knowing Him.
Thus
when we were distant from him we had no right to his property; we made no
covenant with him; we lacked firm belief in God; Above all we had no God.
This is what the apostle Paul said, "That at
that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel,
and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in
the world:" ( Ephesians 2 : 12 )
"Which in time past were not a people, but are
now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained
mercy." (1 Peter 2: 10)
Paul, who was telling how the present situation became possible for us, says, "Now you have come near by the blood of Christ." That is, He says that we have this opportunity because of His shed blood on the cross.
Beloved,
because we are so close to God, we can live with faith today. It is necessary
for us to maintain this position. Otherwise, we will become distant from him as
before; we will be like orphans without faith. Not only that, but we will be
far away from eternal life. So let's continue to hold on to faith.
That is why the author of Hebrews warns, "Take
heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in
departing from the living God." (Hebrews 3: 12) Yes,
"For we
are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence
stedfast unto the end;" (Hebrews 3: 14) only
then will we be eligible for the rights we have already read about.
