What a joy it is to be saved and set apart from the rest of the world.
set apart for our loving God to united with him.
You are chose by God for Himself and we are ought to live a Rightous life.
Are you happy that you are set Apart for the Lord?

Well if you ask me what is the reason of my Joy is that
My Joy is that :
I am included in his plan.
I am included in the list of saving people.
I am remembered.
I am being love everyday.
He is coming back for me.
My Dear Church i want you to have the informed about the events of Coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
We all know that he is Coming to receive his Chosen People.
Suffer together with me as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one who serves as a soldier is entangled in the activities of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him. And also if anyone competes he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. The farmer who works hard must be the first to receive a share of the crops. Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will grant you understanding in all these things.

4सेनामा भर्ना भएको सिपाही अरू धन्धामा अल्झँदैन, किनकि उसलाई भर्ना गर्नेलाई सन्तुष्ट पार्नु नै उसको लक्ष्य हुन्छ।
5प्रतियोगितामा नियमबमोजिम भाग नलिएसम्म कुनै खेलाडीले पनि इनाम पाउन सक्दैन।
6परिश्रम गर्ने किसानले नै बालीको पहिलो हिस्सा पाउनुपर्दछ।
7म के भन्दछु त्यो विचार गर, किनभने प्रत्येक कुरामा प्रभुले तिमीलाई समझ दिनुहुनेछ।

a time to kill and a time to heal;
a time to break down and a time to build up;
मार्ने एउटा समय छ,
र निको पार्ने एउटाl. समय। भत्काउने एउटा समय छ,
र बनाउने एउटा समय।

2 Corinthians 1:22 “22 who also sealed us and gave the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.”
२ कोरिन्थी 1:22 NNRV
[22] उहाँले हामीमाथि आफ्नो छाप लाउनुभएको छ, र हाम्रा हृदयमा बैनाको रूपमा पवित्र आत्मा दिनुभएको छ।
Also see Revelation 9:4–6 “And it was told to them that they should not damage the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, except those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. And it was granted to them that they should not kill them, but that they would be tormented five months, and their torment is like the torment of a scorpion when it stings a person. And in those days people will seek death and will never find it, and they will long to die, and death will flee from them.”
The five-month period of torment described in Revelation 9:4-6 is part of the Great Tribulation, specifically occurring during its first half. Here’s a breakdown:
1. Context: The Fifth Trumpet (First Woe):
Revelation 9:1-12 describes the fifth trumpet judgment.
A fallen star (often interpreted as Satan or a high-ranking demon) opens the
Abyss, releasing a plague of locusts with power like scorpions.
* Verses 4-6: These locusts are commanded not to harm the grass, plants, or trees, but only those people who do not have “the seal of God on their foreheads” (believers are protected).
Their mission is to torment (not kill) these unsealed people for five months. The torment is so severe that people will long to die but be unable to.
2. Timing: Within the Tribulation:
The five-month torment period is unequivocally an event occurring during the Great Tribulation, not before it. It is one of the divine judgments poured out on a rebellious world.
3. The Nature of the Five Months:
* Literal vs. Symbolic:** Interpretations vary. Some see it as a literal five-month period of intense demonic oppression.
Others see the number five symbolizing a limited but divinely appointed period of suffering (five being half of ten, a number of completeness, suggesting an incomplete or partial judgment).
The Torment:The description emphasizes agony and despair so profound that death seems preferable, yet it remains elusive. This highlights the severity of God’s judgment while demonstrating His control (they cannot kill, only torment for the set time).
The Locusts: These are clearly supernatural, demonic entities (described with features like human faces, women’s hair, lions’ teeth, scales like armor, crowns, and a king - Abaddon/Apollyon). They are not natural insects.
4. Protection for Believers:
* A key point in verse 4 is the protection afforded to those “who have the seal of God on their foreheads.” This refers back to the 144,000 sealed Jewish believers in Revelation 7:1-8. This reinforces that God preserves His faithful remnant *through* the judgments of the Tribulation.
In Summary:
The five-month period of torment inflicted by the demonic locusts from the Abyss is a specific judgment occurring during the Great Tribulation, specifically as part of the fifth trumpet and the first “Woe.” It is not an event before the Tribulation begins. It represents a time of intense supernatural suffering for those who have rejected God, while His sealed servants are protected.
2 Timothy 2:19 “However, the solid foundation of God stands firm, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and “Everyone who names the name of the Lord must abstain from unrighteousness.””
19तर परमेश्वरको दृढ़ जग खड़ै रहन्छ, र त्यसमा यो छाप लागेको छ, “प्रभुले आफ्ना जतिलाई चिन्नुहुन्छ,” र “प्रभुको नाउँ लिने जति हरेक अधर्मबाट टाढ़ै रहोस्।”
which was a symbol for the present time, in which both the gifts and sacrifices which were offered were not able to perfect the worshiper with respect to the conscience, यो त अहिले वर्तमान समयको निम्ति एक दृष्टान्त हो। यसले यही देखाउँछ, कि चढ़ाएका भेटी र बलिहरूले आराधकको विवेकलाई शुद्ध तुल्याउन सक्दैनन्।
The old system of tabernacle the gifts and sacrifice and cleansing was temporary it was not perfect but just a shadow
Hebrews 10:4 “For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.”
Repeat with me
4 किनकि साँढ़े र बोकाहरूको रगतले पाप हरण गर्न असम्भव छ।
When you deny the desire of the flesh and live according to the desire of the spirit, though flesh will hurt and people of this world will reject you but Jesus will Heal it at the end and your tired soul will be refresh again like Eagle.
Isaiah 40:31 “But those who wait for Yahweh shall renew their strength. They shall go up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not grow weary; they shall walk and not be faint.”
31तर परमप्रभुको आशा गर्नेहरूको बल फेरि नयाँ हुनेछ। तिनीहरू गरुडझैँ माथि-माथि उड्नेछन्, र दगुरेर पनि तिनीहरू थाक्नेछैनन्। तिनीहरू हिँड्नेछन् तापनि मूर्च्छा पर्नेछैनन्।
Lets pray:
