The Satan's Fall - Do not put off the good you intended to do

A man woke up early in order to have his morning devotion (prayer) in the Lord’s house (church). He got dressed, and went on his way to the Lord's house (church).

On his way to the church, the man fell and his clothes got dirty. He got up, brushed himself off, and headed home. At home, he changed his clothes, and was, again, on his way to the Lord's house. On his way to the church, he fell again and at the same spot! He, again, got up, brushed himself off and headed home. At home he, once again, changed his clothes and was on his way to the Lord's house (church). On his way to the house of God (church), he met a man holding a lamp. He asked the man his identity and the man replied 'I saw you fall twice on your way to the house of God (church), so I brought a lamp so I can light your way.

The first man thanked him profusely and the two were on their way to the house of God (church). Once at the house of God (church), the first man asked the man with the lamp to come in and pray with him. The second man refused. The first man asked him a couple more times and, again, the answer was the same.

The first man asked him why he did not wish to come in and pray. The man replied, 'I am Satan'. The man was shocked at this reply. Satan went o n to explain, 'I saw you on your way to the house of God (Church) and it was I who made you fall.

When you went home, cleaned yourself and went back on your way to the house of God (church), God forgave all of your sins. I made you fall a second time, and even that did not encourage you to stay home, but rather, you went back on your way to Church. Because of that, God forgave all the sins of the people of your household. I was afraid if I made you fall one more time, then God will forgive the sins of the people of your village, so I made sure that you reached the house of God (Church) safely.'

So

Do not let Satan benefit from his actions.

Do not put off the good you intended to do as you never know how much reward you might receive from the hardships you encounter
while trying to achieve that good.

Your righteousness can save your family.

Do this and see the victory of the lord.

The Satan's Fall

by Ann on 27th Aug, 2009

Very good and encourging story

Sinners are slaves of SIN.

by Sebastian D'Souza on 8th Sep, 2009

Dear Readers,
Christian greetings.People are unaware that each one of us is a sinner.And that is the secret of the evil one.Satan tells us that we are good,righteous and pious.Peaople also think that each one of us religous.But when we read the word of God that is the Bible we get the clear picture as to what we are and what is the relation of each one of us with God.People go to church or temple or mosque and think that we are very close to God.All these things are the result of our own thinking.But when go the pages of the bible we start getting our real identity.What is that? The real picture is that we are sinners and are far away from God.We also come to know that we are lonely and in hopeless situation with no one to help.As far as things go well with us we are least bothered of our own self as to who we are and where each one of is going.One thing is certain that we cannot go back from where we have come.But one thing is definate and that is each day takes us near to our destiny.Have you ever thought of your destiny? Not at all.Each one of us has left our future to our destiny.Every sinner is with out hope and that is the reality.Many a times I have made a point in my letter to make it clear that without reading the bible people will not know God.As earlier I mentioned that each one thinks that he or she is pleased with God which is wrong.That's why Jesus says that each sinner has to repent else he or she would perish.What does He mean perish? Perish means going to hell.Whatever we think of our selves is deception and the reality is unless one repents he or she would perish.So my dear friend try to understand your position before God and come to Jesus and commit your life to Him who will not only save you from going to hell but give you hope for your life.Moreover He will fill your heart with heavenly peace and also jou which no one can take away.Isn't it beautiful ? So come to Jesus and say this prayer. " Lord Jesus I believe that I am a sinner.I also believe that you died for my sins.Lord Jesus please forgive my sins and cleanse my heart with your precious blood.Lord Jesus thank you for forgiving my sins and also thank you for making me your child.Dear Jesus give me the gift of the Holy Spirit.I want to thank for giving me your Spirit.I want to commit my life to you.I promise to read your word everyday.I also promise to obey your teachings.heavenly Father I praise and worship you in the mighty name of Jesus.Amen. "
If you commit your life to Jesus in this way rest be assured that Jesus has heard your petition and He has come in your heart in the form of the Holy Spirit.So be sure that Jesus is in your heart and wants to live in your heart.He will fill your heart with His own peace which He has mentioned in his word.(John 14:27) So just believe that you are child of God.Do not forget to read New Testament.Start from John's gospel.Read one or two chapters everyday early in the morning.And then meditate on the same for some time and then God for helping you to read.Also commit each day to him with small prayer.You will see the difference within few days and also you will experience some change in your life and also in your attitude towards others.You will be a new creation that's what II Corinthians says in chapter 5 and verse 17.So let me end my long letter with each one of you saying good bye.God bless you.Bye.
