Barnacles

Reducing your inefficient

Mark Andrison An Experiance marine ne Diver went for under water diving in coast of British colombia.

He begun to explore the bottom of coast and Photograph the beautiful underwater world

Visibility was average around 100 ft. Suddenly suddenly felt of large creature’s presence around to see to his surprise he saw a 12 ft large whale, swiming around him.

the way the whale was behaving was strange. He would sometime swim around close and would even let Mark photograph him.

once he swim so closed that he nearly brushed his fin to Mark.

then the Whale suddenly changed direction and begun to swim away.

but after going 60 ft the whale stoped and turn back and looked at mark as if asking him to follow him.

Mark as an experiance diver knew perfectly it is danger to follow a large creature in an open water.

however his strange behaviour conpled Mark to follow him after.

As ahe followed the Whale the depth of water Increased and the light decreased.

As ahe reached the bottom of the Ocean valley he. To this Surprise he saw a around 30 ft long Whale laying in the bottom.

At first it looked like a grey mass but on closer inspection he found the whale was covered in very thick layer of Barnacles. His entire body was covered in barnacles Beside his eyes and blow hole. Possibly the whales’s Mother.

when barnacles are attached to marine creature it multiplies and spread throughout the host body making it hard for them to move as it adds extra weight and making their swim difficult.

the Big whale was barley moving the infection from the barnacles was severe.

Mark took out a knife from his belt and started to removing the Barnacles from the whales skin, making sure that he would not hurt the whale accidently.

after spending around half an hour Mark saw his Oxygen tank was low but the area he cleared was about the size of dinning table. Which which was not enough at all.

so later he called marine animal rescue team for help and the team came with big machine and equipment and rescued the whale.

Whale is unable to clean himself and the weight added by Barnecles was heavy to swim around with it in the ocean and also making his health severly weak.

Without Mark’s Help the whale would have died

The whale seriously needed and Rescue help.

Jesus Cleans the Temple

When we look at the bible at the book of Matthew in Chapter 21: 12-13

we see that the sin attached to his loved one’s (Humans)

God filled with compassion to rescue us and sent his only loving son Jesus Christ to save us.

When Jesus came and saw the Business going around his temple

he was filled with angry (at sins) psalms 69:9

He drove out the buyer and seller

He Over turned the tables of Money Changer

he proclamimed his ownership over the temple.

Who are these Buyers and sellers?

The buyers and sellers treated the temple as a marketplace are Christians today may approach faith as a transaction — in exchange for offerings, prayers, or service expecting blessings, success, or prosperity.

Our Approch and relationship with God should not be based on worldly achievements.

The buyers and sellers were part of the temple system but missed the heart of worship.

Similarly, some Christians may go through the motions of attending church, tithing, and participating in events, but their hearts remain distant from God.

Worship becomes more about appearance and routine rather than intimacy with God.

Worship is there but temple is not Clean.

1 Corinthians 6:19 “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?”

‘तिमीहरूको शरीर पवित्र आत्‍माको मन्‍दिर हो, जुन पवित्र आत्‍मा तिमीहरूले परमेश्‍वरबाट पाएका छौ, र उहाँ तिमीहरूभित्र वास गर्नुहुन्‍छ भन्‍ने के तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन? तिमीहरू स्‍वयम्‌ आफ्‍नै होइनौ। तिमीहरू मोल तिरेर किनिएका हौ। यसकारण तिमीहरूका शरीरमा परमेश्‍वरको महिमा गर।’

Always remember God will never tolerate sin, but if you repent and turn away he is kind enough to forgive you and wash away all your Iniquites ( ps 51:2)
