Reality check brothers and sisters, dating is not a testing era. Set a standard of "Dating to Marry, and that's it." ✨

Preserve yourself for someone that God approves, stop wasting time, and pull up your emotional investment for someone who is really not sure about you. save yourself as early as possible rather than waste a lot of years trying to make things happen.

A hard pill for every Christian to swallow: Even if you pray for it, it doesn't mean it will be given to you. In tagalog we say: "Kahit na ipagdasal mo pa, kung hindi talaga kalooban ng Panginoon para sayo ay hindi magiging para sayo."

Stop testing the waters, and wasting your time and effort to "somebody else soulmate." What is for you, will be for you alone. so start investing to pursue the will of God for you.

There is time for everything according to Ecclesiastes Chapter 3, so wait for your turn and focus yourself more on Matthew 6:33 KJV than seeking the things that are not yet ready for you. Remember the Lord will make it happen if the time is right.

May the Lord Find us Faithful

Everyone can be tempted, and this can happen to anyone regardless of gender; this reminder is not just for men but also for women.

I asked someone from the church, how did you overcome temptations?
and he gives a lot of practical advice: exercise, run, drink water, and so on.
But when I asked my discipler or my mentor he said, "Just pray, whenever you are tempted to do something wrong regardless of what it is, Just pray."

and I remember this Bible verse to lean on and it explains everything (Galatians 5:16-26 KJV)

16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

I pray this post helps you and empowers you to overcome the lust of the flesh that holds you down always come unto the Lord in prayer and keep in mind that the Lord is always aware of what we are doing, and it is a matter of choice.

Remember sin is a choice, not an accident.

May the Lord Find us Faithful

Let us not make excuses to miss the worship, because Jesus does not make excuses to save and to suffer for us on the cross of Calvary. 🤍

We all know that we are not worthy, but still, Jesus pursues to save us with the unconditional love shown at the cross of Calvary. So let us have the unconditional worship that no matter what trouble we may encounter, we will continue to worship Christ for He is worthy.

Make haste to obedience and never neglect the day of worship, avoid excuses, and make solutions if there are hindrances, just like in Tagalog we say "Kapag gusto may paraan, kapag ayaw maraming dahilan." Christ's unconditional love has been proven, so it is our turn to demonstrate our unconditional love through our worship regardless of any trouble and circumstances. 🤍

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. - Romans 5:8 KJV
