We have the Confidence that He hears us!

2023-05-14T19:19:00.001-07:00

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

1 John 5:14-15

What are you praying for today? Have the confidence not on ourselves and on our capabilities but on our GOD!

Jesus is asking “What do you want Me to do for you?”

2023-05-10T20:23:00.000-07:00

Jesus is asking “What do you want Me to do for you?”

Wow what an invitation from God who can do absolutely anything!

The two blind men didn’t waiver even though a lot of people sternly asked them to shut up - instead they CRIED OUT ALL THE MORE!

In the end they receive their IMMEDIATE miracle!

Reference Scripture:

“As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him.

And two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”

The crowd sternly told them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”

And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

They *said to Him, “Lord, we want our eyes to be opened.”

Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.”

Matthew 20:29-34 NASB1995

Store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven

2020-01-09T17:02:00.000-08:00

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Matthew 6:19-21 NIV

He Loved Us First

2019-12-13T02:09:00.001-08:00

Today, I have been reminded through God's WORD that we have never been and will never be the "initiator". Who we are, what we have achieved and where we have gone is never because we were all made up and deserving. In all things, it was HIM who took the first step. The only thing we did and can do is to respond with obedience and humility to abide in HIS will and to follow HIS direction. After all, it's the best thing we can do. God bless you.

My fear doesn't stand a chance when I stand in Your LOVE

2019-12-10T18:23:00.000-08:00

Here's another song I listened to on my way to work and the message of the song simply resonated with me and most probably to everybody who may have fears of what is to come and what the future will be. But here's a clear message, our lives are in the hands of GOD and with HIS LOVE, we are in good hands.

Check out the song and lyrics below: Stand In Your Love by Bethel Music

Stand In Your Love

When darkness tries to roll over my bonesWhen sorrow comes to steal the joy I ownWhen brokenness and pain is all I knowI won’t be shaken, I won’t be shaken

My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love

Shame no longer has a place to hide
I am not a captive to the lies
I’m not afraid to leave my past behind
I won’t be shaken, I won’t be shaken

There’s power that can break off every chain
There’s power that can empty out a grave
There’s resurrection power that can save
There’s power in Your name
Power in Your name

Hallelujah To The Lamb | Classic Anointed Worship

2019-11-15T01:29:00.000-08:00

Indeed, there are no words good enough to thank HIM. No words to express my PRAISE!

Hallelujah To The Lamb Verse 1 Lord I stand in the midst of a multitude Of those from every tribe and tongue We are Your people Redeemed by Your blood Purchased from death by Your love There are no words Good enough to thank You There are no words to express my praise But I will lift up my voice And sing from my heart With all of my strength Chorus Hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah to the Lamb Hallelujah hallelujah By the blood of Christ we stand Every tongue every tribe Every people every land Giving glory giving honor Giving praise unto the Lamb of God Verse 2 Lord we stand by grace in Your presence Cleansed by the blood of the Lamb We are Your children Called by Your name Humbly we bow and we pray Release Your power To work in us and through us 'Til we are changed to be more like You Then all the nations will see Your glory revealed And worship You Bridge Every knee shall bow Every tongue confess That You are Lord of all

Prayer for the Sick: Let the Power of GOD prevail!

2019-11-10T19:23:00.002-08:00

Last week, I have received a news about a friend who has been diagnosed of breast cancer. Also last week, one of my batch mates from college was rushed to the hospital due to a possible mild stroke. The other day, my Uncle succumbed to the kidney sickness/complications.
These are real. Sickness, Death are real. It's not because we're Christians were immune. Sometimes it's how we take care of our bodies and even "genetically" we can acquire these sicknesses.
I'm writing this not because I have it all sorted out. In fact I'm the first one who should go through that Annual Physical Check up. I feel like I'm taking in more sugar, more carb than I should. So enough of me. Let me go back to my point.
This deadly sicknesses are real and they can happen to your friend, to your family, or to you.
Isn't it amazing to know that even though they're real, our GOD is far better REAL-errrr. (If there's even a word). All these sicknesses were brought about the fall of man and the devil taking over and corrupting our bodies. Thanks be to GOD because through Jesus Christ, we have the power that's far greater than he that is in the world!

Isaiah 53:5"...by HIS wounds, we are healed."

James 5:14-15
"Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven."

So I encourage you to be Prayer Warriors today. Let's defeat the power of "sickness" with the power of GOD through our prayers. Let every sickness be an opportunity for HIS glory to be shown.

Tired? Weary? God has an offer for you

2019-11-05T16:29:00.000-08:00

And it's already WEDNESDAY! Woohoo! We're halfway through the week! Who's looking forward to FRIDAY? I AM. 😁😁

I know the feeling. I know the feeling even how much you try to get energised and excited, work and stress have their way of getting into you.

This is why, fellowship with the LORD should not be limited to Sunday Services. What you received on a Sunday can't last until next Sunday. You need nourishment everyday - and that is why this blog is rightly named Your Daily Word.

Today let me encourage with the word found in Isaiah 40:29:

"He gives strength to those who grow tired and increases the strength of those who are weak."

Mind you this offer is on a daily basis and it's unlimited. It's not like a energy booster that fires you up for 15 minutes and drains you afterwards. This offer is a continuous, always available kind of offer.

The only thing that's needed is for you to approach HIS throne and fellowship with HIM. So go ahead, before you do anything, approach HIM. He's waiting.

YOU ARE QUALIFIED - HE QUALIFIES YOU

2019-11-04T16:55:00.002-08:00

Have you ever felt little?

Have you ever felt unqualified?

Have you ever felt you weren't good enough for the task at hand?

This past week has been an example of me feeling and questioning, "Am I really the right person to do this?" Looking at the assignment simply overwhelms me.

But then do you believe God has HIS timely word for us at the time we needed it.

I praise God because when I prayed and asked for help, I opened the Bible for an answer and behold, HE did through this verse:

Ephesians 2:7 "Now God has us where he wants us..."

So I'm not lost. I am EXACTLY where GOD wanted me to be. WOW! Praise the Lord!

However, I'm not sure if you're like me but somewhere in my heart, I still felt "inadequate" even after hearing the promise. I know it's wrong but this is me being honest.

Praise be to GOD who also knows I would feel this way. He followed it up with another promise in this verse:

2 Cor 3:6 "He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant..."

Now, did you notice that word? COMPETENT. In other versions, it would say "QUALIFIES" us. Thank you LORD!

This surely encouraged me this morning and I thank GOD for that. Let this be an encouragement to you too whatever you're going through. This WORD is applicable to each of you.

He is a Prayer-Listening God

2019-10-22T23:13:00.000-07:00

Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
-Jeremiah 29:12-

Today, I am encouraged to know that when we call on HIM and declare our petitions to HIM; whatever it is, wherever and whenever, GOD SAYS "He Listens".

In this time and age where everybody seeks attention ad everybody seeks affirmation, we have our GOD who's always there to give you HIS 100% attention and focus. He's not busy, He's not checking on his laptop while taking to you or even checking on his social media notifications. He's fully focused on you - no distractions, no other conversations. Yes when you call on HIM, YOU are HIS priority. No need to wait in line. No need for a promo code. He's there now. Waiting for you. Ready to Listen. Ready to Answer.

Let HIS word be an encouragement to you today.

Prayer of a Righteous Man Avails Much

God Has His Own Seasons

2019-10-17T23:20:00.001-07:00

How many of us feel that sometimes prayers take a long time to be answered and the promised future is far from sight? It's not a surprise that a lot of us choose to give up and/or start doing things on our own.
Let me remind you that every dream comes from the dream giver. And when we bring it up to HIM, he treasures it and sanctifies it. He doesn't show us how and when He will make it happen but HE will. Don't take me wrong, I'm not saying everything you tell GOD will happen. That mindset is the exact opposite of His Lordship. What I am referring to are those desires that are aligned to HIS will, plan and those that will not lead you away from HIM.

According to the Bible in Ecclesiastes 3:1:

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."

God has his own timetable. Nothing is rushed and nothing is too late.

We must recognize our season and what He's trying to teach us and to be kept assured that He will eventually display HIS wonder before our very eyes.

IS it easy? My point of view - no. Everyone wants things fast. But that's what must set us apart. We are not in a hurry. We should be on time by faith and not by sight.

SO no matter what you're going through, take heart. GOD Knows His Seasons and He has a season for you.

When is the right time? | God is always on TIME!

2019-01-26T16:53:00.000-08:00

HE IS ALWAYS ON TIME. TRUST HIS TIMING.

You reap what you sow

2018-05-23T07:30:00.000-07:00

It's such a common phrase that we casually use yet most of the time failing to understand its gravity. Right now, the world demands instant gratification. No one wants to wait. No one has the time to wait. Waiting means foolishness. But here's a quote I saw few years ago:

"If you want to know how to be successful, think like a farmer. A farmer knows that he can not expect a harvest if he has not sown any seeds"

A lot of us see the harvest and the price at the end. Our eyes glued to what is to come failing to look down on what needs to be done.

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with "eyes on the prize" but let me remind of this verse found in Psalm 119:105

"Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path"

The WORD wants us to see what's ahead but the WORD also encourages us to where we are and know how to get there.

Galatians 6:7 says "A man reaps what he sows."

God believes in process. He even went from Day 1 to Day 6 before resting.

That dream can happen. That aspiration can be achieved. But you got to start sowing seeds now. Be it through training, additional learning, accepting rebukes, volunteering, stepping out in faith or whatever that God specifically asks you to do.

Just sow...you'll reap it someday. Never never quit.

Challenges in Christian Life

2018-05-20T02:20:00.000-07:00

Today, I learned that the biggest challenge we have is not the devil. After all, we're called to victory through Christ who gives us strength. I realized through our Pastor that the greatest challenge is to obey the WORD of GOD even through the challenging times.

You would argue why and how can that be? Firstly, our carnal nature is naturally opposite to what GOD wants us to do. Secondly, it's called a test and a challenge precisely because they're not easy.

Thankfully, even throughout the challenge HE remains to be on his throne. He enables us to soar on wings like eagles. His only desire is to let the glory of GOD be manifested in our lives.

Check out this song from Hillsong that captures this message rightfully.

Hebrews 12:2 | Never Quit

2014-06-04T15:16:00.001-07:00

Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls! (Hebrews 12:2 MSG)

Faith versus Doubt

2014-04-05T23:16:00.000-07:00

Let your faith roar so Loud that you can't hear what doubt is saying.

Great is His faithfulness! They are new every morning!

2014-04-04T23:03:00.000-07:00

Lamentations 3:22-24

New International Version (NIV)

22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
    for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
    therefore I will wait for him.”

Do not worry

2014-04-03T23:01:00.000-07:00

Matthew 6:25-34

New International Version (NIV)

Do Not Worry

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Only God...

2014-04-02T22:52:00.000-07:00

"Only God can turn a mess into a message, a test into a testimony, a trial into a triumph and a victim into a victor."

Does God love you? Here's the answer

2014-04-02T22:47:00.001-07:00

For even if the mountains walk away

and the hills fall to pieces,

My love won’t walk away from you,

my covenant commitment of peace won’t fall apart.

The God who has compassion on you says so.

Is. 54:10 (The Message)

On this day,God wants you to know this...
