Know Your Inner Circle

The ideology of the inner circle

An inner circle is a good ideology. Listening to people nowadays, they are ready to open up and be transparent to anyone whom they meet.


They connect through social networks and build trust very quickly that may or may not fade very soon. People are very interested in expanding their circle, starting from the Facebook friends count to the number of persons in the contact list.






But Bible focuses on a remnant group of people whom God wanted. And Jesus uses this ideology of inner circle to teach a great lesson.

Jesus' Inner Circle

Jesus cleverly used this ideology of inner circle in accomplishing His mission on this earth. His circle consists of 12 disciples among them He chooses 3 to build the inner circle. 



The inner circle of Jesus had Peter, James, and John in it whom He had with him during intimate occasions. During the event of  a girl's resurrection, at the transfiguration and while spending His very last few hours on this earth.

Have you ever thought why Jesus had an inner circle? Yes, it's to teach us the power of spiritual bondage that a person has with his/her intimate spiritual partners.

Not everyone will understand our thoughts and mission. Moreover, it's not necessary for everyone to understand us. There will be a small group of people who are connected with us through HolySpirit.

Starting from the world of people we draw a circle where we have friends and colleagues, followed by family and neighbours, believers and among them, a fellowship of people and, a very small circle who really understands us encourages us, prays with us truly connected with us through HolySpirit.

Fellowship as an innercircle



As our radius of circle decreases, our intimacy with Christ increases. In Jesus' case, these three disciplines in the inner circle though didn't understand God's mission at that point later become a major part of accomplishing the Kingdom's mission.

Having an inner spiritual circle as Jesus had would definitely help us grow spiritually and build us each day. So, who are there in your inner circle? Start thinking of it today.

  That was a day when all of the family members were gathered for a particular event. The house is filled with people of all ages. The voices of each group overwhelmed the other group, and that of kids ranked high. No secret place was left without people. Though most of their conversations are in fact unproductive, they believed that they made their day. They had only a day left to disperse and so everyone wanted to enjoy it to the fullest. All of a sudden, they could recognize a disgusting smell somewhere inside the house. It seemed to be the smell of smoke. Something is burning, that if unnoticed could lead to danger. Rushing towards the direction of the smell, they not found an electric heater that remained on for hours and it started burning. Thankfully it was spotted sooner than it would hoist an effect. On a quick investigation, it was been revealed that someone forgot to switch it off and with heavy exposure to electricity the heater started to burn. Thus the word 'forgot

Pruning

  Gardening is an art. Little blooms or an inch of growth, small sprouts mean a lot to those who are fond of gardening. Indeed, the beauty of sparks of morning sunlight touching the soft velvet petals of the colourful flowers in the garden depicts the results of those little efforts laid by the gardener. It has often brightened my days. However, gardening entails more than just beauty; it involves the behind-the-scenes actions that contribute to such colourful blooms. It includes potting, watering, fertilizing, proper placing, and most importantly, pruning. The process of pruning is less noticed, but it plays a vital role in the growing of plants. Pruning is the action of removing certain weaker parts of plants that hinder growth by absorbing energy and wasting it. In other words, pruning stimulates faster growth.

Evening

When I was around 20 years old, I lived in a house on the second floor of the building. The building was on the corner where the streets intersect. This is a spot where various happenings can be captured by the eyes' lens. Let me picturize what was captured on the spot every evening. Evening, a perfect time to withdraw or return. There is a school near my house and when it is evening, the sound of the school bell makes the students dismiss, returning to their homes. Minutes later, employees from various workplaces return home. Evening, a perfect time to terminate. Whatever was initiated at the start of the day must be either fully or partially brought to an end. The systems are shut down marking the end of the day; machines are stopped and shutters are closed. Because it's evening. On the other side, the yellowish rays from the sun turn grey marking the dusk.  Evening, a perfect time to experience a semi-darkness, neither bright nor with the glow of artificial light. Vision bec
