PHOTOSHOPPED SEVERED DHONI NECK & THE DEVIL WHO IS AFTER OUR NECKS IN ACTUALITY

- A Duke Jeyaraj poem on the India-Bangladesh Asia Cup Final 2016 on 6 March 2016 With A Message At The End

The enthusiasm the Bangladesh Cricket Fans show for the game can’t be ever matched,

But that photo-shopped picture of Taskin carrying a severed-at-neck Dhoni’s head was far-fetched,

India needed a tricky 22 runs off 14, when promoting himself into the middle, Dhoni marched,

Al-Amin Hossain’s in-the-slot-to-be-hit, for a monstrous 104 meter six, he fiercely launched,

That’s when Bangladesh fans hopes of seeing their team’s first ever major tourney win, staunched!

After his 20 runs off 6 balls, Dhoni walked back into the Indian dugout seemingly untouched!

A gloom descended upon the Sher-e-Bangla stadium and the fans went home gut-wrenched!

Can I tell you that when the Devil was REALLY after our necks, our Heavenly Father could have just watched?

Spurning his wow love, each one of us, chose to follow the Devil being so sinfully wretched!

That’s why He sent Jesus to save us and for our sake, and he hung on the Cross, blood-drenched!

When you come to him in repentance, he will give a joy that be can’t be yours even you are zorched!

Do not refuse Jesus’ Calvary love and turn against the Only Way of Salvation, with your fist-clenched!

A MOHAMMED ALI QUOTE I COULD AGREE WITH & A MOHAMMED ALI QUOTE I COULDN’T QUITE AGREE WITH!

- Duke Jeyaraj
Boxer Mohammed Ali once said, “I hated every minute of training. But I said, “Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a Champion.” I agree with Mohammed Ali’s eloquent message here: tenacious training takes you to the top!

“Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams — they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do — they all contain truths.” That’s what champion Boxer, Mohammed Ali, who passed away on 3 June 2016, said in a live TV Program post the 9/11 Terror attacks. In other words, using his silver tongue, Mohammed Ali, effectively said that Jesus was just one of the many ways to heaven. Really?

Likewise, many folks prefer to give Jesus neither a negative name nor a positive name. They prefer to give him neutral names. They call him just a nice dude, a good man, a good teacher - like the many blokes we already have around.

Mary Magdalene saw the risen-again Jesus and mistook Him for a gardener (Jn 20:15). For many today, Jesus is just like a gardener. Just like there are many gardeners in the world, Jesus is yet another good guru – one more addition in a pantheon of gods!

The disciples wrongly identified Jesus for a ghost once (Mt 14:27). For many even today Jesus is a ghost. They are scared to come close to Him. They by their life attitude (if not by their actual words) tell Him, "Jesus do not come too close to me. You will not like the things I think about, the things I enjoy seeing and the things I secretly do!"

But Thomas worshipped Jesus as God (Jn 20:28).
Jesus, if you carefully read the Bible, did not give you the option of calling him merely as a good man. He is, as CS Lewis put it, "Liar, Lunatic or Lord!" He is (as I put it): "Deceiver, Dumbo or The Divine!" The choice is yours. If you call Jesus by a nice neutral sounding name, you are still calling him by a negative name because you are diplomatically negating his claims to be unique (John 14:6 - "I am the way, the truth and the Life!").

Jesus could not be a Deceiver. Even his worst enemies could not find a single sin in him. He was not a lunatic or a Dumbo. He acted normally. He screamed in pain as he was hammered to the Cross. He felt bad when one of close pals betrayed him. Jesus wasn't mad. He wasn't bad. He was God. The Only One. So, that leaves us with only one option: Jesus is what he claimed to be: the only way to Heaven, the only incarnate God in Flesh, the only Savior of the whole World!

What should you do right now if it was true that Jesus is really unique (as this article has pointed out)? Basically, two things. Let me elaborate: First, you need to LEAVE. That is you need to leave your life of sin. Jesus preached, "Unless you repent, you too will perish (in everlasting hell)!" (Luke 13:1-5). Second, you need to BELIEVE. You need to believe that Jesus, God in Human Flesh, died instead of you on the Cross, as the Bible says He did. "Yet to all those who received Him, to those who believed in His name He gave them the right to become the children of God," we read in the Bible (John 1:12). When you do that – believe in Jesus with all your heart and confess your sins to Him – the sinless spotless blood of Jesus will forgive you of every sin and give you a peace which the world cannot give you ever!

Why not then pray this prayer right away: "Dear Lord Jesus. I am sorry for my sins. Please forgive me. I am LEAVING my terrible sins and BELIEVING in you as my only Savior. Wash me with your blood and make me a new person completely. I will serve you with all my heart hereafter. So be it!"

Do not forget the following things: Get yourself a copy of the Bible and read it daily. Talk to the Lord Jesus daily in prayer. Join a fellowship where the Bible is taught. Share with as many people as possible about the Lord Jesus, through your life and lips.

SINCERE BELIEF IN JUST ANYTHING AND PUTTING ONE'S FAITH ON JUST ANYONE IS NOT NICE - ASK THE FOLKS AT NICE, A FRENCH CITY HIT BY TERROR

- Duke Jeyaraj

#Nice Terror Truck Driver told cops he was carrying ice-cream in his truck (see this pic from The New Indian Express, July 16, 2016). And the cops kind of believed him. This was the result: he actually had stuff in his truck that made people scream - two Kalashnikovs, bullets and a grenade. 80plus, including 10kids we killed shortly after the police sincerely believed his lie. Sincere belief in any person or philosophy, without the necessary truth verification, can be dangerous. We need to strive, search and find the truth and believe in the truth. Jesus claimed to be 'the truth' and gave proofs for it - his sinless life and accurate prophecy-fulfilment - are two just of the multiple proofs he gave for his stunning claims (to be the only way to Heaven, to lasting happiness, etc). Instead of sincerely believing what is wrong and ending up in untold danger, let us believe in Jesus who died for each one on the Cross to offer forgiveness from sin, inner-lasting peace.

SCHOOL-BAGS, SINCERITY AND 26/11 MUMBAI ATTACKS

- Dr. Duke Jeyaraj

Bharat Tamore. Bharat Tamore who? Bharat Tamore, a steward at the Taj Hotel, Mumbai who lived in the sea-facing village at Bhadwar Park, Cuffe Parade, Mumbai. At 9:30 pm on 26 November 2008 he saw 10 young men who were unloading massive school bags and huge carry bags at the shore from a yellow speedboat. When he questioned them they said they were students (Story from "People Special Edition" Mag, Dec 2008, page 23). And Tamore believed what they said with sincerity of heart. But they those guys were not students. They were the TERRORISTS who just coolly walked in different directions of Mumbai, shooting people on the streets, the Main Railway Station, a Hospital and a couple of Five Star Hotels with impunity and gay abandon. Sincerely believing in what is not true can prove to be very dangerous, as we can understand from the above event. Instead of believing in the Truth, Jesus Christ, if we sincerely believed in our own wrong philosophy or religion, we would be greater danger - the greater danger of going to eternal, ever-burning hell. The Bible says, “There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” (Proverbs 14:16; 16:25). That means that way we sincerely believe to be true to save us can be wrong and that wrong belief can land in big trouble ultimately! Who is the true way then? Jesus Christ! He said, "I am the way, the truth and the life!" (John 14:6). The Apostles took Jesus at his word and preached that there was no other name to be saved (Acts 4:12).

A BOTTLE OF USED-FOR-EMBALMING-DEAD-BODIES FORMALDEHYDE AS A GIFT FOR A NEW BORN BABY? YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! DEAD BODIES OF JAYALALITHAA, LENIN & THE GIFTS THE BETHLEHEM BABY JESUS GOT!!!

-Dr. Duke Jeyaraj

There are several controversies that surrounded the death of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa. Suman Priya Mendonca, writing for AsiaNet News website on 9 December 2016 talked about one such controversy: “Controversies around Jayalalithaa’s death refuse to subside. Four dots found on Jaya’s face strengthen the theory that her body was embalmed which means she died much before December 5, 2016. Embalming is a process that can prevent a dead body from decomposing for over 60 days.” Soviet Leader Valdimir Lenin died in January 1924. But his body is available for the public to behold even after 90 plus years. In April 2016, the Moscow Times, May 5 2016 issue announced via a Daria Litvinova article, “the Federal Guard Service – which looks after all grounds near the Kremlin, including the mausoleum Lenin is kept in – announced for the first time that the costs for the “medical and biological works to maintain Lenin’s body” would amount to 13 million roubles ($197,000) in 2016.” I figured out from Google that formaldehyde is used to embalm, preserve dead bodies!


Imagine someone giving a new born baby a bottle of formaldehyde! That would be grossly inappropriate! Who would want to give a gift that reminds everyone about death in the happy event of a new born baby?! In the case of the birth of Jesus Christ, something similar happened. One of the wise men from the East gave Jesus “myrrh” as a gift (Matt. 2:11). Myrrh was the formaldehyde of those days (in my opinion) and was “a traditional incense used at funerals during Biblical times” according to Bible Scholars. That particular wise man who chose the gift of Myrrh for the baby Jesus perhaps knew from the Old Testament he read that Jesus was born to die. The Son given who was called Prince of Peace (which Isaiah 9:6 talks about) also was going to be the lowly servant who would take on the “Punishment that brings us peace” (which Isaiah 53:5 talks about)! Yes, Jesus was born to die! Born to die for you and me! This Jesus would go onto live a sinless life – no one else ever did this – and become a sinless, perfect sacrifice for sinful you and me! He was eventually crucified on a cross. Without shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins, the Bible tells us (Heb. 9:22). And there is no blood, without a human body. And that’s why, Jesus basically and in-effect said, “Give me a body! I will get into it! I will get into a human body you have prepared for me, Father, so that I can offer it to shed blood to save humans! The Animal Sacrifices of the Old Testament can at best cover for sin temporarily! But I will bring about an arrangement to cleanse people from sin forever as long as they remain in a relationship with me!” This he in-effect said in a meeting in Heaven dated eternity past (Read Hebrews 10:5-6). Then Jesus entered the womb of virgin Mary during the First Christmas two thousand years ago. As Max Lucado wrote, “God was given eyebrows, elbows, two kidneys, and a spleen. He stretched against the walls and floated in the amniotic fluids of his mother.” Leonard Vander Zee wrote, “The incarnation of Christ means that God now has a belly-button – that mark which signalled that he was once inside the womb of a woman!” While Matthew and Luke needed two full chapters to tell the Christmas story, Apostle John summarized Christmas in just three words: “Word became Flesh” (John 1:14). And we know from John 1:1, the “Word” he was talking about was “God.” So Christmas is about “God becoming Flesh!” As the Hymn-writer put it: “The Word of the Father, now in Flesh appearing…oh come let us adore him!” The sinless living body of Jesus in the Cradle of Bethlehem stable and went all the way to the Cross of Calvary on Golgotha Hill to become that perfect sin-sacrifice. Jesus rose from the Dead. He will return again to Judge the world. Those who remain “in him” will not be condemned to eternal hell, but will live with him forever in eternal heaven (Romans 8:1; John 15; Rev. 21:7-8). This is what the Bible teaches. Would you turn from sin and put your faith in this Jesus? Then you have “peace” (Luke 2:14) and “great joy” (Luke 2:10) which the world cannot give and the Devil cannot take away!!

IF ONLY….

-Duke Jeyaraj's poem on the India-West Indies World T20 SemiFinal on 31 Mar 2016 in Wankhade Stadium in Mumbai which West Indies won with a message at the end

If only, had Indian Captain Dhoni won the toss,
India would have perhaps chased and shown they were this match’s boss,
If only, had the explosive Rohit Sharma, the 20 overs batted through,
India may’ve scored much more in their 20, and perhaps made it through!
If only Indian batsmen had tried to clear the ropes, rather than run the twos,
They would have had set a steeper target, that would not make them lose!
If only Ashwin/Pandya hadn’t converted their wicket-taking balls into no-balls,
There was no question of match-winner Simmons getting those umpire recalls!
If only Jadeja hadn’t touched the boundary rope while catching that Simmons’ rocket,
Who knows – Dhoni could have well had this super semi-final in his pocket,
If only India had played all-rounder Pawan Negi, instead of the pure-batsmen Manish Pandey,
Dhoni would’ve had better options to turn to, when his regular bowlers’ bowling was in total disarray!
If only, Ashwin instead of Kohli, had bowled the last over – he had two still left,
May be, he, like he proved in the Champions Trophy 2013 Final, for India, could have been a cleft!

While the “if only” of the cricket field doesn’t ultimately matter much,
The “if only” of our spiritual lives – can be the difference between eternal heaven and ever-lasting hell – as such!

“If only you would come to me to right now”, Jesus, in-effect said in Luke 19:42 in the Bible,
“Your life’s peace will be eternal and it won’t be fickle as a bubble!”
If only, you come to God-in-flesh Jesus in repentance and faith now,
Your life – even amidst the trials – will become meaningful, joyous and wow!

19 NEEDED OFF SEVEN & HEAVEN!

-(A Duke Jeyaraj poem on the West Indies – England World T20 Final 2016 played in Eden Gardens Kolkata on 3 April, 2016 with a Wow News at the end)

After a dot ball with 19 needed off 7, would the Windies rise from the ashes like a phoenix?

Carlos Brathwaite answered that question, in that nail-biting final over, hitting a six, six, six and a six!

The problems the West Indies had in over-hauling England’s fighting 155, he did miraculously fix!

Six over deep backward square, Six over long on – they were all there in the marvellous six mix!

Bowler Ben Stokes slumping in disappointment post each brutal shot – that made a sad pix!

“The only team to win the World T20 twice” – for the Windies that was new prefix!

Post this Surreal Final Captain Sammy talked about praying to Living One on the crucifix!

Jesus’ great Calvary-demonstrated love for us, sinners – nothing on earth can nix!

If you come to Jesus now, this will be yours: a joy nothing can ever eclipse!
