There is no such thing as “Self-made” Christian
If you call yourself a Christian, then it means that you are no longer the god of your life. Instead, you treat Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. You abide in His ways and obey His commands. You depend on His love and not on your own strength. You no longer live according to your own understanding. Instead, you choose to rely on what God is saying. That’s what being a Christian is all about. It means that you are no longer on your own. You allow the Holy Spirit to guide and lead you along the journey. So if you think that you are who you are right…

Day 420 – Luke 8:21
He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.” Luke 8: 21, NIV Jesus treats those who obey the word of God as His closest companion. You may think that you are close to His heart, but the real people who have an intimate relationship with Him are those who follow His words. They bear lasting fruits that bless not just their lives but also those who are hurting and broken. So don’t just listen to His words and do nothing. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you the strength to keep following Him even in seasons when you can’t understand what’s…

Jesus followed the will of the Father and not His Emotions
Going a little farther, He fell with His face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 Jesus also went through suffering. When He was still here on earth, our Heavenly Father already told Him that He would be crucified on the cross for the sake of the world. And just like any human being, Jesus also felt sad. That’s why He pleaded with God to take away the cup from Him – the cup that carries the sins of the world. At this time, He was so troubled.…

Sometimes, God Answers our Prayers by giving us Instructions
God is answering our prayers. It’s just there are times when He gives us instructions first before we get what we prayed for. And the sad part is, we find it hard to follow what He is saying because it’s not what the world is saying. That’s why before you pray for something to happen, get ready to receive His instructions first. Prepare your heart and increase your faith. You may not clearly see the path that He wants you to take, but all you have to do is listen to His voice and follow Him. Sometimes, you will only receive the blessings He prepared for you as long as…
