Have you ever felt like your life is simply moving on with the course without any destiny at all?? Now wait a minute!!! God says you have a great calling from above. Scrpture says on Col 1:13 "For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves". Isn't it great to hear that the Almighty has called us to His kingdom? All those things that happened in the course of time..that you accepted Jesus..you took baptism...you attended the churches..you walked with Him...You never knew it was because of this great Calling of Lord and be sure that it was never an accident. It was because His love attracted you even before the formation of this world you could experience and seek His love. Wow!!! thats mind-blowing that God decided to love us even before he laid the foundations of this behemoth universe.
In view of this great calling we can be sure of one thing. The One who called us is faithful.But we need to take heed when Scriptues says "Live a life worthy of the calling you recieved" in Eph 4:1. and in 2 Peter 1:10 "Be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure".
Since this is the most precious treasure that we ever recieved how diligent we should be to pursue it relentlessy.

What a glorious salvation!
"It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. " 1 Corinthians 1:30
What a privilege it is, to be those who are chosen by the Almighty, Sovereign Lord. In these days, when we see all forms of evil around us, and so often, when we ourselves struggle with sin, it is so wonderful to have our Father, who gave His only Son for us. Such is His love for us, who never deserved it. He's been so gracious to have mercy on wretched ones like us and choosing us even before the foundation of the world, saving us by the redeeming work of Jesus Christ on the cross for us. Paul puts it so well, when he writes, 'For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."' 1 Corinthians 1:17-19.
Praise be to Him for all that He has done for His chosen ones. It is with this similar God given vision, that enabled some of His body members, to gather together for fellowship. He's constantly teaching us and building us up in Him. In these last days, the truth is being revealed in its purest form, undoing the work of the adversary.
We are currently meeting for fellowship every Sunday from 9:30am to 12:30pm at the basement of Aahura School, a km from NIBM Rd, (close to Salunki Vihar & Kondhwa), Pune), with Sunday school, teen, youth and family meets. We also meet for Bible study on Saturdays 4pm to 6pm(Languages used: English and Hindi).
