Thoughtful Thursday mga Ka Pogi at Ganda
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We often fail to realize that one of the best ways we can improve Kingdom leadership is by being better followers. Kingdom leadership means that leaders must answer to God for how they have led. Kingdom citizenship means that we will be held responsible for obeying and blessing our leaders. What have you done to show your love, respect, and support for your church leaders lately?
Join me in Prayer...
Almighty King, all authority and dominion belong to you. You alone are worthy of power and the right to rule. Please bless our leaders at church so that they may lead by serving and following Christ. Please empower me to follow their leadership in ways that exalt the cause of Christ and bless the leaders in your Kingdom. May my life never be a burden to them or an embarrassment to you. In Jesus' name, I ask it. Amen.

True Tuesday mga Ka Pogi at Ganda
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Worship on Sunday can be inspiring and uplifting. Worship in everyday life can be exhilarating. Worship in our relationships can be transformational, yet genuine worship always requires that we give up our ways, our wills, and our wants. We must choose to learn to live for others. If we truly live with Christ Jesus as our Lord, we will live as he did. We will submit to others to serve them for their good and to meet their needs. Sometimes that means being tender. Other times that means being tough. And it always means living to God's glory.
Join me in Prayer...
O Lord God Almighty, I find it hard to submit myself and my desires to anyone else. I find it all too easy to see things only from my point of view. I catch myself looking out for my interests and not the welfare of others. Please fill me with your Spirit more mightily so that my life displays your love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. In Jesus' name, I ask for your divine help so that my life displays more of Jesus' character. Amen.

Magnificent Monday mga Ka Pogi at Ganda
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Truthful words are accurate. Words spoken in love can be a blessing. But truth spoken in love is redemptive: this kind of speech blesses those who hear it and matures those who speak it. While speaking the truth in love is often not easy, it's worth it! Look at God and see how painful it was to speak his Word in love by sending Jesus. But in that one sacrificial Word, God saved us and revealed his heart of grace, mercy, and love for us.
Join me in Prayer...
Holy God, may the words I speak be truthful and loving. Please forgive me when I have told the "painful truth" to win arguments, to hurt feelings, or to impress others. Please forgive me for the times I exaggerated, distorted, or lied. I want my words to be simple and tender, truthful and loving. I want others to see your grace in how I speak to them. In the name of my Savior, Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Sweet Sunday mga Ka Pogi at Ganda
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We can use our words to be cute. We can use our words to appear impressive. We can use our words to win arguments. We can use our words to defend ourselves. We can use our words to lie and distort. We can use our words to do many things, but God wants us to use our words to bless. So when we speak, if our words do not bless and benefit those to whom we direct them, then we should not say anything. Grandma was right. "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all."
join me in Prayer...
Give me wisdom today, dear God, to speak words that bless my family, co-workers, and those I meet. I want to be truthful, loving, kind, and merciful when I open my mouth and speak. May the words of my mouth be used in your service and to your glory today, dear Lord. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Trusting Thursday mga Ka Pogi at Ganda
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"Jesus is the Son of God." Six simple words. They are much more than simple words, however; they are the doorway that opens our heart to God. So tonight, as you confess Jesus as God's Son, consciously and intentionally welcome God into your heart. The Father lives in the person who confesses the Son!
My Prayer...
Father, I want to live my life and center my heart in you. I gladly confess that Jesus is the Son of God, my Lord, and my Savior. I praise and thank you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Wonderous Wednesday mga Ka Pogi at Ganda
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Our sign of authenticity showing we are truly God's children is the Holy Spirit who lives in us. The Spirit helps bring forth the character of God in our lives (Galatians 5:22). The Spirit helps us when we pray (Romans 8:26-27). The Spirit empowers us to overcome sin (Romans 8:13) and gives us the strength to do things we would never imagine were possible (Ephesians 3:14-21). The Spirit comforts us in our brokenness and makes God's presence real in our lives (John 14:15-26). The Spirit is the truest sign that we are God's children (Romans 8:9; Romans 8:14-16). Thank God for the blessed Holy Spirit!
My Prayer...
Father, I praise you for your holiness, majesty, and power. I thank you for your loving grace. I am humbled by your sacrificial love that has saved me. But today, dear Father, I thank you most of all for your Holy Spirit, who lives in me, who empowers me, who cleanses me, who comforts me, and who makes your fatherhood accessible and real to me. Thank you, in the name of Jesus, from the bottom of my heart! Amen.

There are people who, until now, did not believe that the end would come soon.
Because what some people are doing these days is direct disobedience to God, yet they still say God will not punish us because we are his creation and he had a covenant with the Prophets that he will keep mankind.

However, my dear brothers and sisters, please don't think God is slow in taking his actions towards men. In fact, the real reason for it was stated in 2 Peter 3:8–9.

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord, a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.

That is how Patient our loving Father is with us sinners. He loves us so much that He is patiently waiting for us to repent. Have a relationship with Christ and Believe in his Words and Gospels

Wishful Wednesday mga Ka pogi at Ganda
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The Lord brought the Israelites miraculously through the Jordan River during the flood season because of his loving grace and to fulfill his promises to his people. He was also making an important statement about himself to his people. He always wanted Israel to "reverence" him. In addition, he wanted Israel's enemies to quake with fear. They did. God won a great victory for himself and his people because of their faith.
join me in Prayer...
Holy and majestic God, you are clothed in righteousness and bathed in glory. I want to always treat you with the respect and reverence you deserve. Please forgive me for the times when I was not as reverent or respectful of you as you deserve. Forgive me when I didn't hold your name up as holy when others were using it in vain. You are worthy of my life, my love, and my all. I want to bring praise to you now and forever. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

When I pray, I often catch myself simply wanting God to do what I want, not necessarily what is best or most expedient for those around me or for the good of the Kingdom. I don't like to hear that God told Paul that he had asked enough about deliverance from his problem. Instead, Paul needed to learn that God's gracious strength and mercy were enough to sustain him even in trial. While I know I need to learn this same lesson, it is daunting. I want God to keep things nice and tidy for me. But then I remember that I am a follower of Christ. If I am to become like my Savior, then I have to let go of my requirements on God's answers and open up to God's work to redeem others through me, no matter the personal cost. Only then can I truly know that his grace is sufficient for me!
Patient and loving Shepherd, guard my heart from discouragement in tough times and from arrogance in good times. I know that without you I have nothing that is permanent. Thanks for giving me a permanent, steadfast hope of heaven with you, because of your grace and strength shared with me. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

THANK GOD FOR TODAY

So much of our day is busyness. So much busyness that, by the time the day is over and our heads hit the pillow, the
day just seems to be a big blur. Does this ever happen to you? Thank God for the precious gift of today, for today is the
day He has made, so let’s rejoice and be glad. Give thanks to Him for each minute He allows breath to fill your lungs.
Ask Him to reveal to you the things in life that you can let go of to allow yourself time for what really matters in life.

Psalm 118:14
The Lord is my strength and song and is become my salvation.

Matthew 11:28
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

1 Thessalonians 5:18
This is my will for you: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

How often do you forget that we are in a spiritual war? Our enemy is deceptively cunning — take away the immediacy of a threat and the danger appears gone. But he's there, always. But rather than try to guess his plans and counter all of his moves, Paul reminds us to simply take up the tools God has given us and stand up to the evil one.
Join me in Prayer...
Lord of Hosts, my Great Deliverer, protect me from the evil one by your great power. Give me a sense of urgency as I face Satan and his schemes on a daily basis, but also give me confidence that Jesus has already defeated my foe. Help me to stand against this foe and show myself faithful to you. Through Jesus my Lord and Savior I pray. Amen.
