Sometimes, you need to choose What’s right and not What’s easy
This world will present you with so many options. That’s why it’s very important to consult God and ask Him first. Seek His wisdom so that you will be guided. There will be days when you will find it hard to make decisions simply because you don’t have enough understanding about your situation or perhaps you don’t have enough courage to do the right thing. Truth is, following God will not always lead you to an easy road. In fact, you will go through challenging situations that will somehow test your faith in Him. You will go through obstacles that will equip you for the coming storms and problems. Doing…

Acts 4:12, NIV
Jesus is “‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12, NIV Salvation is found only in the arms of Jesus. He is the One who has given us the chance to experience eternal life. Some Jews and Pharisees may reject Him, but He became the cornerstone. He became the hope of this world. Through His suffering on the cross and the precious blood that was showered upon us, we are now washed from our impurities and made whole. And everyone who believes…

Acts 4:3, NIV
They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail until the next day. Acts 4:3, NIV Jesus’ disciples, Peter and John, experienced persecution because of what they were sharing with the people. It wasn’t that easy for them to proclaim the Messiah because many people were opposed to their beliefs and faith. Because of this, they go through moments when they are seized by the authorities and put in jail. But even though it took so much risk to share the good news during their days, they still persevered. The difficulties that they experienced didn’t stop them from preaching the gospel. That’s why we…

The Breaking Season will somehow Strengthen your Heart
There are truths in life that are so easy to understand but hard to accept. How can a painful situation strengthen our hearts when it causes us to shrink and walk in the darkness? How will things fall in the right places when your heart is already shattered in pieces? It doesn’t make sense. Why do people always talk about strength in moments when we feel weak? Is it because they are just insensitive? How come it’s so difficult to accept the truth that good things will still happen? Maybe you also have these questions in your head. It’s not that pain is not real. You ought to acknowledge it.…

Acts 3:26, NIV
When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways. Acts 3:26, NIV God raised His Son, who came here on earth as a servant.

God sent Jesus to bless us by turning each of us from our wicked ways. Through His precious blood, we are cleansed and purified. We are given the chance to go back to His arms and stop sinning. All…

Listen to the Voice of God and you will Grow
God knows you from the inside out. That’s why you need to consult and listen to Him. Sometimes, when we are too caught up with our problems and pain, we tend to follow our own understanding, thinking that what we have in mind is the right thing. We find solutions and make decisions according to our own judgment, not thinking that God is always sovereign. We treat ourselves as god and stop listening to Him. This is the reason why we experience so many consequences of our bad decisions. We chose our own way instead of acknowledging the instructions of God. Because of this, our ego became a hindrance to…

Acts 3: 19-20, NIV
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you – even Jesus. Acts 3:19-20, NIV Ask God to purify your heart. Go through the process and let Him guide you. Repent and change your ways. Stop following your own will. Turn to Him, and He will be there to guide and lead you. Surrender all your sins to Him and let the precious blood of Jesus wash away the impurities in your heart so that you may be refreshed in His presence. The…

Heaven is not the Goal
Sometimes, we are so obsessed with heaven that we no longer remember the reason why it even exists in the first place. We are too caught up in finding the perfect place where we can find rest and peace. It became a goal that we needed to reach. It’s like looking forward to the reward and just forgetting about the purpose of why that reward even exists. We do things because we want to live there and not because we want to be with the Creator Himself. Heaven is not the goal. It’s just a manifestation of your relationship with God. So try to ask yourself: Why do you want…
