Devotional: Promises and Curses



God has many promises for you. He said in His word, you will have more than enough than what your ancestors had. This gives us the assurance not to worry about what our future may bring. He Himself is with you. The God of Israel gives you courage and strength, and He will never leave you. (Biblical foundation: Deut. 30:5, Deut. 31:5; Psalm 68:35)

But certain promises of the Bible are being referred to as IF-THEN form. If you'll DO his commands, with all your heart, His promises will be for you. All good promises of the LORD will happen to you. BUT choose to disobey the LORD, curse will be upon you. Terrible things will happen to you in the future, if you wanted to do what the Lord God says that is wrong. To overcome, Ask God for wisdom and He'll show you the way.
(Biblical foundation: Deut. 30:6-10; Deut. 31:29; James 1:5)

Remember, Temptations doesn't come from God. It comes from your flesh, fueled by the arrows of the enemy being shot into your mind. Satan cannot read your mind but he can provide suggestions to lure you to sin. We should confess the word of God in this times. Confessing it brings you victory over sin.
(Biblical foundation: James 1:12)

Personal Testimony regarding temptations/lust of the flesh.


In my PC, there's an app on Windows that is called sticky notes. I paste verse there everyday such as this:

You know that when your faith is tested, you learn to be patient in suffering. If you let that patience work in you, the end result will be good. You will be mature and complete. You will be all that God wants you to be.


James 1:3-4

Whenever Satan and his demons suggest an immoral thing (lusting after a woman), I immediately recite that verse and IT GIVES me PEACE and VICTORY! I overcame that temptation through Christ. THE WORD of GOD is so powerful!

So Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I encourage you to confess the WORD of God over your life.
God bless.


 

Youth: Keep the light shining.

Read Jeremiah 1; 1 Timothy 4:12


 Here in the Philippines, most teenagers have a mindset to focus on their GOALS first before GOD. Instead of pursuing their divine destiny, they are heavily influenced by MEDIA, WRONG-FRIENDSHIPS AND INFLUENCES and RESENTMENTS from their PAST. What's the result?
Destruction in the end. Let us examine Jeremiah.

Call to shine your light


We are called to shine His light all over the Earth. Reading Jeremiah, I can compare myself to Him.
Reason? He's young, and when God called Him into ministry, HE DOUBTED.
Have we been trying to hinder God's plan over us by making excuses?



This is Jeremiah's response (from Jeremiah 1:6; ERV)


 Then I said, “But, Lord God, I don’t know how to speak. I am only a boy.”

 

This is God's response (Jeremiah 1:7-8; ERV)

 

“Don’t say, ‘I am only a boy.’
    You must go everywhere I send you
    and say everything I tell you to say.
 Don’t be afraid of anyone.
    I am with you, and I will protect you.”
This message is from the Lord.

 

Right mindset and heart


We should remind ourselves that serving God is not boring, God reminds us to have a heart which calls out of LOVE not out of obligation. This is one of the wrong mindset- thinking serving God as an obligations and follow a set-of-rules. It should abound in love.
 
Encouragements for Youths: Even though you are young, LET GOD use you. Surrender your dreams and desires unto Him.
 
As what the verse in 1 Timothy 4:12 says:
 

You are young, but don’t let anyone treat you as if you are not important. Be an example to show the believers how they should live. Show them by what you say, by the way you live, by your love, by your faith, and by your pure life.

 

Keep your light shining! God bless. 

Dreaming with God

This day, let us reflect how to Dream with God.

DEFINTION OF DREAM

Dream- achievement long for, a wish by your heart. It is something we really long for.
Definition of a dream from a dictionary
Dream is something hoped for, usually difficult to attain.

How to dream WITH GOD

 1.) God wants you to dream big dreams.
 

   -HE IS LIMITLESS AND POWERFUL GOD
 

“Lord God, with your great power you made the earth and the sky. There is nothing too hard for you to do."
 
Jeremiah 32:17
 
"Nothing is impossible with God"
 
Luke 1:37
 
 
 
   -UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD
 
"The Father has loved us so much! This shows how much he loved us: We are called children of God. And we really are his children. But the people in the world don’t understand that we are God’s children, because they have not known him."

1 John 3:1

"But some people did accept him. They believed in him, and he gave them the right to become children of God."

John 1:12

 

 2) Keep your dreams in line with His will

We should bring our DREAM to prayer with God.
It should match according with His will.

 3) Oppositions and difficulties will come but God is with you
(Biblical Reference: Deuteronomy 31:6)

Be strong and be brave. Don’t be afraid of those people because the Lord your God is with you. He will not fail you or leave you.”

Deuteronomy 31:6


 

Yes, I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love—not death, life, angels, or ruling spirits. I am sure that nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers, nothing above us or nothing below us—nothing in the whole created world—will ever be able to separate us from the love God has shown us in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

Romans 8:38-39


The Spirit God gave us does not make us afraid. His Spirit is a source of power and love and self-control. 


 

2 Timothy 1:7

Expect great things from God. Attempt great things with God -William carey

Dream big, and I will go beyond that -God

This moment, try to confess to God your dreams.

APPLICATION:


Have a dream journal. Pray for it (the dream) everyday.

Go and Tell



Encouragement: Don't listen to the lie of the enemy that you have not been changed by God. Don't make that an excuse not to tell others about HIM.

So here are three reasons why do we need to tell people about CHRIST.


1.the good news of salvation that people needed to hear.


Acts 4:12 salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven.
 Romans 10:9 that if you confess that with your mouth, Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

FACT: About 6.1 Billion people really do not know who JESUS is.
So, are you ignoring God's command to go and tell others about Him?



2. People will be separated from God forever if they don't share or hear the good news of salvation.


 We do have physical and spiritual life.
 Acts 4:20 for we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.

 We have to come to the Lord and see there's a lot of people who don't have Jesus in their lives and share the good news to them. Schoolmates, best friends, family.

 2 Corinthians 5:14 Christ love compels us and he died for us that those who live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
 Most people today are shortsighted. They are looking temporarily but no long term plans.

 


3.You and Me are expected by God totell others about the GOOD news of salvation.

 

 Sometimes, we LOVE making excuses. Excuse #1. Excuse #2.

JUST DO IT. STOP MAKING EXCUSES.


Matthew 28:19 therefore make a disciple of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, the son and the Holy spirit.
Acts 5:42 day after day, the apostles never stopped telling others about Jesus, proclaiming him the Messiah.

If you want to be happy? Make others happy.
 
 
 
 

 

Powerful Combination



I command my soul to sing, His mercies are new every morning
His mercies are new every morning
 
Praise be to God! His mercies are new every morning. Good day for all of us. Did you know just by worshipping and praying to God, It increases the works of the Holy Spirit. The more we praise and live what Jesus has commanded in love, the more we are advancing the kingdom of God! It is releasing the fullness and purpose of God to Earth.
 

You and the Holy Spirit make a powerful combination

 
This morning, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal what's on God's heart and let Him guide you. He's living inside of you. That's a miracle! You and the Holy Spirit make a powerful combination. When you were slave to sin, you have no power to heal the sick, cast out demons, or resist temptation. We must be more aware of His goodness. The word of God says that goodness follows you all the days of your life. (Psalms 23) 
 

Your guide, comforter

 
If you got lonely before you got saved,  it takes hours, days or weeks for it to naturally go away. Now that you have Him inside of you, you can just ask Him to take away that emotion by saying "Holy Spirit, thank you for the joy." It will go away rapidly. You must work together with Him.  So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves. (Galatians 5:16 NLT)
 
Let me just end this message with this verse:
 
"But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness."
 
Galatians 5:22 (NLT)

Serving God (Cont. Efforts in the Lord)

How can you serve God?


Reflect God in your life
Reflect God in your life


1. Reflect God in your life.

Reflect God in your studies, with business and everything you do. Reflect Jesus. Even in your family. What would Jesus do? (WWJD)

2. Invite people to gatherings.

We should not hide that we follow Christ. Look at the people around you. So many people needs Jesus in their lives. Invite them so that they can  know Christ. Share them the word. Make it a lifestyle to invite people for the Lord.

3. Allow the LORD to use you. Make the Lord your first priority.

All of us are called by God. Make Him the first priority of your life, regardless of what's you age.
Have a blessed New Year.
