Turning The Impossible to Possible


 “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” - Philippians 4:13


I failed.
I can’t do it.
I am worried.
I have doubts.
It is so hard.

These are some of the words in your mind that may hinder you from pursuing your goals.

You are now scared of trying again. You are afraid of failing again. You are now discouraged from achieving your dreams. You are on the verge of quitting.

Hey, stop! Never quit. Never get tired of trying. I am here to tell you that there is a God..a God who is much bigger than your mountains of worries and uncertainties.

Jeremiah 32:17 says, “Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.”

So, do not worry about your future because He will guide you along the way. 

Change your "I can’t" into "I can."

Be positive as you conquer your dreams day by day.

The Lord does not assure you that the journey is going to be smooth, but He will keep you and help you achieve your dreams so long as you continue striving and believing that you will succeed.

Allow God to walk with you as you pursue your goals again in life. And He will always remind you, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” - Luke 18:27

Also, believe in yourself that you can do it by God’s grace.

Victory is coming! Claim it. God bless.

PAGKAMAAYO MO HESUS by: Victory Band

Ang tibuok kong kasingkasing
Alang lamang kanimo
Walay laing manag-iya
Ikaw lang HESU CRISTO
Tungod kay kining kinabuhi imong gasa
Busa angayan lamang nga pagasimbahon ka.

Chorus

Pagkamaayo mo HESUS
Pagkatahom ning Gugma Mo
Way makalabaw sa ti-unayng kalipay ko

Dalaygon ka HESUS
Igabayaw ang ngalan Mo
sa tibuok kong kasing-kasing magapasalamaton ko

Bisan adunay panahon Nga ako mibiya
Apan ang imong gugma
Nagpabilin kanako Ang imong kahibulongan
Nga grasya nagahatag ug paglaom kanako

Pray For Peace

 


“...The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” - James 5:16

Bombing.

Wars.

Killings.

Chaos caused by pandemic.

Warfare.

Nowadays, you can picture out, see, hear and witness disheartening events happening around you. They may cause someone trauma, anxiety, depression or even possessing the idea that ‘the world is ending' or 'everything is coming to an end.'

Even so, the Bible verse for today continues to encourage you that despite the happenings in this world. You can still continue calling on the Lord and believing in His mighty ways against these catastrophic circumstances.

Who would have thought that Prayer works effectively, it assures victory.

Neglect the negative thoughts in your mind.

Remember the essence of prayer until something happens.

It will give you comfort. An undescribable comfort from the Lord.

You are saved from the troubles.

You are cared for.

You have God, your safe refuge.

2 John 1:3, “Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, will be with us in truth and love.”

This, too, shall pass.

A gentle reminder from 2 Corinthians 13:11, it says, “Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.”

"You. Follow Me!"


“It is the Lord your God you must follow, and Him you must revere. Keep His commands and obey Him; serve Him and hold fast to Him.” - Deuteronomy 13:4

The world offers a lot of roads to take, yet no one knows what is at the stopping point of each road. You choose and decide to take a path with no hint as to what is there ahead of you.

Are you confident enough to finish firm and strong?  Are you walking on the right road?

If not, take this Bible verse for today for you not to be misled. Call on the Name of the Lord. 

He is the God who is life-guiding.

Colossians 2:6 says, “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him.”

If you read this unintentionally. It is not by accident, but it is God’s will, for;

You are chosen.

You are called.

You are God’s child.

“To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.” - 1 Peter 2:21

From now on, answer and follow Him because, “He is the way, the truth, and the life,...” - John 14:6

Allow God to handle your life. Be obedient to His laws and you will live life not just to the fullest, but also a life of holiness. 

"Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him." Psalm 128:1

The Lord bless you.

Pray Until Something Happens (PUSH)

“Pray without ceasing.” - 1 Thes. 5:17  

Is patience a virtue? Is God teaching us to wait in His time?  Yes, He is.  So, we are encouraged not to stop praying. To be patient, to wait and to trust on His timeline.

Imagine yourself praying for someone who is bedridden. You ask God everyday for healing and miracles.

You seek His presence.

You cry.

You shout.

You scream.

You want quick answers.

Yet you hear nothing, not a single sign, nor a minute voice.

Neither a word from Him through the Bible. 

Years passed, you did the same thing. Then you ask God, why? But, He remains silent.

The Bible verse for today is a reminder to never get tired of praying.


Examine your heart. Humble yourself towards God. Never stop believing.
 Sometimes a delay is God’s protection from things only He knows.

God knows when, and at what point will He answer you.

God’s will be done, for it is written in 1 John 5:14, “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.”

Time will come that you will utter these words, ‘My prayers have been answered!’ You are heard! Our God is a prayer answering God. God’s time and will are way better than yours.

 

Keep P-U-S-H-ing, keep Praying Until Something Happens. The Lord bless you.

How To Be Saved

 “I tell you the truth, whoever hears what I say and believes in the One who sent Me has eternal life.” - John 5:24

"How do I get to heaven?"

As cliche as it sounds, it makes sense knowing that death may come anytime.

Three steps to be eternally saved and to be with God in heaven:

Admit.

Human as we are, we are not perfect. We commit mistakes over and over again. The Bible reminds us that we, by nature, are sinners. Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.”

“As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one.” - Romans 3:10

Be Aware and Believe.

Know the penalty of sin. Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again for our salvation.

Romans 6:23 confirms, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Repent and Receive.  

(This is personal.  One has to do this heartfelt.  If you are reading, this is for you.) 

Pray & repent of any sin. Accept Jesus Christ in your heart as your personal Saviour and Lord. 

For it is written in John 1:12, “Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”

Romans 10:9, “If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Invite God to come into your heart and life as your Lord and Saviour. Now is the day of your salvation.

Friend, once saved, always saved. 


Pray this prayer from your heart:

Dear Jesus,

I am a sinner in need of a Saviour.  Forgive me for all the sins that I commited.  I repent of them all. Come into my heart Lord Jesus. I accept You as the Lord and Saviour of my life. I commit my life to you. Be in full control of it. Thank you Lord.

This I pray, in Your Name Lord Jesus, Amen!

Surreal Love

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. - John 15:3

Surreal love. Yes it exists even in this crooked world. 

A love that doesn't falter when you've done something offensive and unforgivable.

A love that lasts up to the ages.

A love that understands and is unconditional.

A love that never leaves nor forsakes.

A love so merciful and true.

A love so powerful and unfathomable.

A love wanting to be felt by you. IS ALL FOUND IN GOD. The love of God exists for you. And it is the only love you'll ever need. 

Yes, we may not be worthy of God's love nor will we ever be, but He loved us anyway. And it's not because of who you are or what you've done, He's just simply a loving God. He loves you — not just people as a whole, but you as a person. He cares about your life and wants to be part of it. He wants you to feel His great love for you. 

God proved His love for you by sending His ONLY SON to live a blameless life on earth on your behalf. He humbled himself and willingly took your sins on the cross with nail pierced hands. Jesus suffered without complaint. He was persecuted, beaten and mocked yet He endured all of it for you. He was despised and rejected by men, so that you may have everlasting life with Him. 

A God so mighty and powerful came to this earth for you. He wasn't thinking of His reputation when He came here, He was thinking of you. And even when He was on the cross, He wasn't thinking of the pain. He thought of you saying, You are worth it.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is the measure of our Father's love.

Great is the measure of our Father's love." 

You are His chosen child. God is your Father. You are not reading this out of coincidence, Your Heavenly Father is reaching out to you. He wants you to trust and hope in His love. And He wants to have a personal relationship with you. He wants you to call out His name and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour so that you may experience the fullness of His great love. Take heart knowing that you have all the love that you'll ever need❤

What shall we say then? if God did not spare His precious son but gave Jesus up for you, how will He not also graciously give you all things?

John 3:16
Romans 8:32
Isaiah 53

You are Valuable

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” - Philippians 4:6.

Worried about not having a job at a time of crisis? You don’t have to because the Bible tells us in our verse today that we should not be anxious about anything.

The Lord is the God who provides. Your worries are now answered in God's mysterious and amazing ways. 

It is written in Matthew 6:26, “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?"

Always remember that even when everything is uncertain, there is a God who is certain. Put God first and you will never be the last.

You might have lost your job, but, it is never the end of your journey. Keep on going because you have a God who owns everything.  He can give you back, even double what you lost. 

Breakthroughs are coming your way! Claim it. God bless.

To See the Unseen

"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things..." Col. 3:2


What is your focus on life? Is it on money? Is it on your career? Is it on your relationships? Are you focused on things that can be seen?

Our verse for today reminds us to set our goals on the things in heaven and not on those that are on earth.   

Our focus then should be on what is unseen...

We believe in the air we breathe. We believe in dreams we keep on chasing. We believe in tomorrow. We believe in all other things, but, do we believe in God Almighty?

Ephesians 1:18 says, “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people.”

May the Lord our God open the eyes of your heart, that you may see those that are unseen for what is unseen is eternal, full of riches in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

May the Lord grant your heart's desire.  God bless.

God’s Ways and Plans are Higher than Ours
