DEVOTIONAL: WHAT IS IN OUR HEART MATTERS MOST

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21


Please read 1 JOHN: 2:15-17
In this reading the word of God reminding us to always check our heart, our desires and priorities. The world offer so many things that will easily attract our eyes, mind and heart. We need to be very careful in all things that attracted our desires  because when we become overwhelm on it, possibility we will forget the Lord. 

Loving what the world has offer to us like (the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life) is a SIN and the love for the Lord is not with us. We cannot serve two master inside our heart, the world and the LORD? Prioritizing those things what you love in this world rather than the word of the Lord who is the creator? The truth is, what has the world offers to us is against the will of God (the world and its desires will pass away) but pursuing the will of God, knowing, listening, and obeying unto him offers heavenly rewards which is eternal life.

Today we have to check our hearts if what is inside? Is it the will of God? or our own desire which are all worldly desires?

Treasure those things that will make Jesus Christ SMILE! Amen!

S - Seeking the worldly things rather than the Lord. It will leads us to hell and die.
I-   It will always hurt the Lord
N-  Not giving glory to God


Reading.....

15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[d] is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

DEVOTIONAL: SALVATION MEANING AND ITS IMPORTANCE

Salvation (also called deliverance or redemption) is the saving of human beings from sin and its consequences—which include death and separation from God—by Christ's death and resurrection, and everyone who accept this truth will be restored through faith and have eternal life. Note, that the word death here is not about a physical death but a spiritual death. So, this spiritual death and separation from God start from the time when humans disobeyed God which is written in the book of Genesis 3 ( please read the full chapter ) . Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. And because God so love the world He made a way in which He sent his one and only son Jesus Christ to deliver and redeem us from being perished because of our transgressions and sin. John 3:16 , which says, "For God so loved the world that he g...

DEVOTIONAL: PAGTAMO NG KARUNUNGANG MAKA-DIYOS

Many are the plans in a person’s heart,  but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.  Proverbs 19:21 Sa mga personal nating buhay ang dami nating alam na kung tayo ba ay umasta, parang bang tayo na ang pinakamagaling sa buong mundo. Parang lahat na ng karunungan ay nasa atin na, kaya minsan hindi naa uso sa atin ang makikinig sa ating kapwa kung maglalahad ito ng katotohanan. At sinasabi pa natin palagi, "basta't wala kang inaapakan tao okay na tayo. Ngunit kahit gaano man tayo kakampante sa ating mga sarili at kung gaano pa kataas ang karunungan ng isang ordinaryong tao at kung ito man ay karunungang makamundo ano ba  kasiguruhang mapapala natin dito?  Makikita natin sa buhay ni Jesuscristo na isang perpekto, kasama Niyang namumuhay ang Kanyang mga disipolo kung ano ang kaibahan nila sa  pagreact sa mga situwasyon dito sa mundo. At higist sa lahat sa mga plano ng Dakilang Diyos Ama. Kaya kung bilib ka lang sa iyong sariling kakayanan at karunungan , kailangan m...

It is an act of turning away from sin and walk toward a path of a healthy spiritual life  which leads to freedom from guilt, healing, and a fresh start. It is often seen as a prerequisite for spiritual progress and salvation. It is also an  act of feeling remorse for all the past wrongdoing. Knowing also that in every mistake that we are going to commit in this present and in the future has a consequences(including the past). So it is called to repent and not to repeat.
