What you have can be an Answer to Someone’s Prayer
You are a blessing not because of your own efforts and skills but because you are one of God’s creations. He blessed you with enough resources so that you can serve and help others. Treat Him as the source of everything you receive, and you’ll learn to consult Him in every step you take. He gave you not just what you need, but He also wants you to provide support to others. If only you will realize the great things that you have inside, you will slowly learn to acknowledge the will of God. The talent, skills, time, and money you have are not just there for your own pleasures.…

Day 233- Matthew 6:41
“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41, NIV Jesus said these words to His disciples while He was in Gethsemane. This happened before He was handed to the soldiers for His crucifixion. He encouraged them to stay awake and pray so that they won’t fall into temptation. Sometimes, like the disciples, we tend to forget God along the way and choose to listen to our flesh rather than obey our spirit. This is a great reminder for us to keep watch. We do not know what the enemy is doing behind the scene. So let’s…

Humble yourself, and you will be Honored
The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Matthew 23: 11-12, NIV This world treats those who have the authority to command and dictate others as powerful and influential. People tend to consider those who are in the higher rank or those who are rich enough as honorable and worthy of our respect. But in the eyes of God, He gives honor to those people who know how to humble themselves and serve others. He looks at the heart and not the physical appearance. He evaluates everybody’s motives. So if you want to be…

Day 207 – 2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14, NIV This is a promise from God.

Don’t be Afraid to ask Someone to Pray for you
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. – Matthew 18:20 As God’s people, we are meant to declare blessings to others and pray for them.

Seeking God’s wisdom
Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. For those who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord. But those who fail to find me harm themselves; all who hate me love death.” Proverbs 8: 34-36, NIV If you want to live this life in victory, then you need God’s wisdom. Sometimes, you can’t instantly receive it from God, but you must seek it with all your heart. And only then will you receive the blessings that He prepared. You need wisdom not just to guide you in times of problems, but it should be part of your life.…

Day 172 – Psalm 119:37
Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word. Psalm 119:37, NIV Pray that God will protect you from the things that will just destroy your soul in the end. Let Him preserve your life and keep you away from harm. Remember that this world has a different standard. People will treat you as a successful person if you have a lot of money and property. But in the eyes of God, worldly wealth is just temporary. Yes, you can use them for God’s glory, but if you consume everything just for your selfish desires, you will realize that it’s all worthless. Allow God to…

How to respond to the Hurtful words you Hear from others?
Meanwhile, Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied. When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer. Then Pilate asked him, “Don’t you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?” But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge—to the great amazement of the governor. Matthew 27: 11-14,NIV Most of the time, when we hear painful words from others, we can’t help but argue and explain ourselves to them, but let’s take a deeper look at Jesus’ approach the moment He received hurtful words and…

Pray that God will give you these Kinds of Friends
A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that He had come home. They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and He preached the word to them. Some men came, bringing to Him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get Him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Mark 2: 1-5, NIV…

What other People think of you is no Longer your Problem
The opinion of others can never define you if you don’t allow them. Focus on God and listen to His voice. He alone knows who you truly are. Remember that you can never control what other people are thinking. Their words can never harm you as long as you choose to believe in your identity in the Lord. You are His child, His precious treasure. You are not trash. You are redeemed for a price that you can never pay. That’s how valuable and important you are. Keep that in mind. No one else could ever destroy you. Lift them up to God and let Him lead you to the…
