Fulfilling Your Dreams

2010-05-09T17:26:00.003+08:00

This is a nice prayer when you're down and losing hope:

"Lord when I lose hope because my plans have come to nothing, help me to remember that your love is always greater than my disappointments and your plans for my life are always better than my dreams. Amen."

Prayer Of Jabez

2010-01-02T17:16:00.003+08:00

Prayers are very important part of our daily lives. But have you ever wondered why some are answered immediately and others take a while to manifest? It must be about the intention. Next time you can try the Prayer of Jabez and see how infinite powers can change your life.

"Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain."

1 Chronicles 4:10

Weekly Prayer

2009-02-04T11:21:00.003+08:00

I received a prayer from a friend and I thought I'd share it here:

LORD,
Enlighten what is dark in me;
Strengthen what is weak in me;
Mend what is broken in me;
Bind what is bruised in me;
Heal what is sick in me;
Straighten what is crooked in me;
And revive whatever peace & love have died in me.

AMEN.

Why Be Good

2009-01-30T10:47:00.000+08:00

Doing good has its rewards.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Galatians 6:9

Fighting the Devil

2009-01-25T13:02:00.006+08:00

When somebody did something bad to us, it is human nature to fight back. When temptation presents itself, we get confused on how to deal with it. Men are sinners, that's a fact. And leading a Christ-like life is impossible. But thanks to God's grace and eternal love for us, He gives us strength, wisdom, courage, enlightenment and endless chances to repent. Whenever I feel so bad about something, somebody or get confused on where to turn to next, I pray. When people do bad things to me, I pray. But how do we deal with bad things or temptation anyway?

Matthew 4:1-11

1Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.

3And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

5Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

6And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

7Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

8Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

9And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

10Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

11Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Season for Every Reason

2009-01-24T11:01:00.002+08:00

Things happen for a reason and there are no coincidences. When you feel down and lonely, just remember that God has plans for you and that will be revealed in time. Just let Him guide you and you will be alright.

1To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Six Things That The Lord Hates

2009-01-12T16:50:00.002+08:00

16 There are six things the LORD hates,
seven that are detestable to him:

17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,

18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,

19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

--Proverbs 6:16-19

How Can We Be Saved?

2009-01-11T10:45:00.002+08:00

5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

--Titus 3:5-7

Have a blessed weekend!

Workplace Inspiration

2009-01-05T12:24:00.000+08:00

Today is the first day of work for most here in Manila and to start the year right, let's get some inspiration from these favorite bible verses:

1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

--Psalm 23

Trusting the Lord

2009-01-03T22:46:00.000+08:00

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the defense of my life;
Whom shall I dread?

--Psalm 27:1

When you trust the Lord, you need not fear. When I face some difficult problems, I look to the bible for inspiration and this verse is really a life-saver.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

2009-01-02T00:57:00.000+08:00

O Holy Spirit, soul of my soul, I adore Thee. Enlighten, guide, strengthen and console me. Tell me what I ought to do and command me to do it. I promise to be submissive in everything that Thou permits to happen to me, only show me what is Thy will.

Tomorrow Is Another Good Day

2008-12-19T11:19:00.001+08:00

Do not fear what may happen tomorrow. The same loving Father who cares for you today will care for you tomorrow and everyday. Be at peace then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginings.

Positive and Good

2008-12-18T10:13:00.000+08:00

The ability to find and appreciate the positive and good things in life is a reflection of the positive and good thing within you.

Think positive, think of good things and things will come back to you in ways you never thought possible.

Life is cycle, you get what you give.

Bright Future

2008-12-17T10:16:00.000+08:00

For those who are wary about what the future holds for them, here's a bible verse that can inspire you to move forward with a big smile on your face.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

Are You A Winner?

2008-12-16T08:54:00.001+08:00

For athletes and go-getter, winning is everything. But just how important is it to win? Winning is important because if you did it means your heart prevailed over the rest.

"Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win."
1 Corinthians 9:24

It's All About Love

2008-12-15T13:24:00.000+08:00

When it comes to LOVE, this is the perfect definition for it. 1 Corinthians 13:13 is my favorite bible verse.

1 Corinthians 13

1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

God's Strength

2008-12-12T10:30:00.001+08:00

God made a promise that you won't face life alone...

for when you grow weak in your struggles,

His strength will prevail and not your own.

Right Direction

2008-12-11T10:59:00.000+08:00

Direct me Lord to where you want me to be.

Give light to my steps and a lamp to my feet.

Give me your wisdom so I'll know which road to take
and know the twists and turns when I need to wait.

Gotta Have Faith

2008-12-10T11:24:00.000+08:00

Hear with your heart.
See with your soul.
Be guided by a hand you can't hold.
Trust even if you can't see.
That's what faith must be.

Blessed Mornings

2008-12-09T10:38:00.000+08:00

Know why God blessed you with another morning to wake up to?

It's to forget the pains of yesterday
and see the chance the new day has brought
to dance and laugh again
to make up for the wrong things you've done

to see your family

to love again

to make others feel happy and loved.

You see,
It's more than just another long day ahead...

It's God's way of reminding you that He cares and loves each one of us.

Thank God for another blessed day!

Faithful God

2008-12-08T11:18:00.000+08:00

Leave something for God
But never leave God for something.

In life, something or someone will leave you
But God will always be there for you.

Counting Your Blessings

2008-12-07T15:43:00.000+08:00

Blessings are not something we have to ask for...they're already there!

All we have to do is count them, use them and thank the Giver everyday.

The Right Time

2008-12-06T14:00:00.000+08:00

It's often difficult to wait for God's time. The waiting period often brings pain and confusion. But it's always worth to trustfully wait on God, even if He seems silent. Because when His plan is revealed, we'll surely thank Him for being right on time.

"Be still and know that He is God."
