"Ang Katawan ay Para sa Paglilingkod sa Diyos"

1 Corinto 6:13
Sasabihin naman ng iba, “Ang pagkain ay para sa tiyan at ang tiyan ay para sa pagkain.” Totoo iyan, ngunit parehong sisirain ng Diyos ang mga ito. Ang katawan ay hindi para sa imoralidad sapagkat ito'y para sa paglilingkod sa Panginoon, at ang Panginoon naman ang nag-aalaga sa katawan.

Ang ating katawan ay binili sa mahal halaga( Sa dugo ni Cristo) Ibig sabihin tayo ay malinis na at pinag banal na ng Diyos.

sapagkat binili na kayo sa isang halaga. Kaya't gamitin ninyo ang inyong katawan upang maparangalan ang Diyos.
1 Mga Taga-Corinto 6:20

Ituon na natin sa paglilingkod sa
Diyos ang ating katawan ng may kabanalan sapagkat iniligtas at nilinis niya tayo upang hindi na bumalik sa marumi at masamang pamumuhay.
Hindi magiging katanggap tanggap sa Diyos ang ating paglilingkod kung patuloy tayong namumuhay sa kasalanan.

Tayo"y Manalangin!
Patawad po O Diyos sa aking nagagawang kasalanan upang mabigyan kita ng kahihiyan . Linisin mo ang puso at isipan ko upang magamit mo sa iyong banal na gawain dito sa lupa. Sa ngalan ni Jesus Amen!

Every moment we’re alive is another moment to rejoice because God’s not done with us yet…He’s still working in our favor!

Let’s rejoice knowing we serve a great God❤️

We won’t be able move forward if we are stuck looking back!

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.”
Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭18‬

Let’s surrender all that we have and all that we are to our LORD and Savior! Let’s praises Him greatly❤️

Love came down to reach out to you and give you the only gift that can break the curse of death in your life. He left His throne and humbled Himself to show you how valuable you are to Him. He offered His life for you to experience the life God originally designed you to have.

What a wonderful gift we have in Christ Jesus, the Savior of the world! 👑❤️🌟 🎁🔔⭐

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16

Through God’s grace and mercy we have been saved. None of us can earn it and we certainly don’t deserve it! But because He loves us, we now have the gift of salvation!

Glory to God in the Highest!

Thank you Jesus❤️

HAVE YOU LOST TRUST IN THE LORD?

Has your impatience led you to live a life that is not pleasing to God?

Do you feel guilty and ashamed of doubting and disobeying God?

Find comfort in knowing God's character. No matter how far you've wandered and lived on your own, God's loving arm is there to welcome you when you choose to return to Him.

He is full of compassion, gracious, and patient. He is there to forgive and show you what unconditional love is.

In Him, there's forgiveness, new life, and peace.

Experience God's transforming power as you accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. In Him, there's forgiveness and freedom from condemnation.

Remember, you are dearly and forever loved by Yahweh, the Lord God Almighty. ❤️

See Proverbs 34:5

When we say we love God, it must be seen in our actions. 🤍

Let’s always choose to remain in the love of the Lord so that people may experience His goodness and peace. ❤️

15:9 "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
15:10 If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.
John 15:9-10

SPIRITUAL DEVOTION

“For all that is in the world -- the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life -- is not from the Father but is from the world."
(1 John 2:16, ESV)

REFLECTION:
Where does my heart truly belong, to God or to this world?

Do I live to know God and His eternal love, or do I live for the world and its temporary pleasures?

Do I still have arrogant pride, have lusts in my thoughts, and crave excessively for fleshly pleasure and impurity?

ACTION POINT:
The Scriptures warned me of the danger in Romans 12:2, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

Worldliness is a matter of the heart. If my heart is captured by the world, I will end up loving the things of this world. But if my heart is captured by the love of God, I will be drawn closer to Him and to the things of God.

I will not let the world around me squeeze or form me into its own mold, but instead I shall let God re-mold me into His likeness, from the inside out.

I commit to detach myself from the things of this world and any attachments that might bring me away from the Father.

I have chosen and will maintain my choice: I will love JESUS and NOT the world, for I am in the world... BUT NOT of this world!

When the world says, “Follow your heart!” Let God’s Word be the anthem of your heart, “I will follow what is right, loving, and kind. Today, I will choose to follow Jesus and pursue the things that bring honor to His Name.” ❤️
‭‭
Be empowered to do what is right, to show compassion, and to shed light to those who are lost and living in darkness. Even when no one cares, appreciates, nor recognizes, do not be disheartened. Do not stop doing what is right and pleasing to God.

Receive God’s power and transforming love, in Jesus’ name, amen! 🙏

“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to LIFE, and there are few who find it.”
(Matthew 7:13-14, NASB)

REFLECTION:
Do I believe in life after death?

What path or way am I choosing to live?

Do I live a life that is pleasing to the Lord and that which will lead me to His Kingdom?

Or do I conform to what is easier, more convenient, and what is practiced by many?

ACTION POINT:
Someone said, “Salvation is free, but it will cost your life everything.” Salvation demands that I act in faith, even if it goes against what I want and against what others believe and practice.

For the gate to His Kingdom is NARROW; entering would require a transformed heart, manifested in my godly choices and selfless compromises.

I will choose the difficult and narrow gate symbolizing the way Christians must live, rather than to the smooth, easy way of the world, because the difficult way brings rewards that those who remain on the smooth and easy way shall never know or find.

I will be a faithful follower of JESUS -- the WAY, the TRUTH, the LIFE. By His grace, I have been redeemed from eternal destruction.

Difficult is the way which leads to life but “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go” (Luke 9:57). By Your GRACE, I am SURE of my SALVATION!

When we seek God first, everything else follows.

Why?

Because He is the source of all things. In Him, we discover the things that really matter in our lives -- the things that truly satisfy our deepest longings. ❤️

Enjoy God and you will find joy in life no matter what circumstance you face. ☺️

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalms 37:4

Do not give up! Do not stop loving and trusting the Lord your Maker. Whatever you are going through is part of His perfect plan. Be assured of this truth whenever fear and doubt try to steal your joy and your hope. ❤️

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28

Isn’t it amazing how the creator of EVERYTHING, loves us so deeply and knows us by name?

He know the very number of hairs on our head and His loves covers us all❤️

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
2 Timothy 1:7

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] John 16:33

We are blessed, Favored, Protected In Christ! the scripture says I’ll make you a great nation and bless you.

I’ll make you FAMOUS; you’ll be a BLESSING.

I’ll bless those who bless you; those who curse you I’ll curse. All the families of the Earth will be blessed through you.
Genesis 12:2-3 MSG.

We are not lucky we are forever blessed in Christ!

The bible says....

Listen, I received a command to bless; God has blessed, and I cannot reverse it!
Numbers 23:20
Ephesians 1:3

Walk in humility. Let your significance, honor, and worth be found in Him. Always remember that it is the Lord who moves in the life of all the people that you meet. As you serve and bless others, keep in mind that the Lord sees you.

Do not worry, for He will reward you and take care of all your needs for He cares for you and loves you. ❤️

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
1 Peter 5:6-7

Life is short and full of uncertainties, and we must live each day with God as the Lord of our lives and the Source of everything. For with Him alone comes wisdom, purpose, and security.

When we are aware and reminded that our stay here on earth are numbered, we become wiser and more accountable as we spend each day.

Be fulfilled in life as you keep your eyes fixed on the Lord -- seeking Him and asking for His guidance.

Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Psalms 90:12

Praise, glory and honor to our God. We really do not want for anything in Christ Jesus our shepherd. He loves, saves, strengthens, heals, provides, delivers, shelters, carrie and redeems us. ❤️🙌👑🙌❤️

Jesus said it best meditate on my word/bread day and night.

We need the bread of life on a daily basis. 🍞🙏❤️

God’s Word is the only insurance we have in a complex, wicked world. Reading the Bible daily is akin to food and water, without nourishment we can’t survive.

Without God’s Word in our hearts, we will wither.

I pray that the Holy Spirit will help us store His Word in our hearts every day. Amen.💖🙏

To trust is to believe in the reliability, truth, ability or strength of something. So, when it comes to trusting God, that means believing in His reliability, His Word, His ability and His strength.

The Bible says that God cannot lie. That He always keeps His promises.

We are free!
We are rescued!
We are saved!
We abound in His love! And there is NOTHING anyone can do that will separate us from His love!

Glory to God❤️

Hosea 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.

Ignorance is not an excuse! It's in your own best interest to be curious, to want to learn and acquire knowledge. You will perish because you do not know, you do not know because you do not seek. Let's not rely on other people to do the knowing for us because on judgement day it will be you and you alone. You are accountable for every action and word you speak. We are living in dangerous times where the wrong things seem right and the truth an embarrassment.

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
Romans 8:18

If God doesn’t provide it, then we don’t need it!! Jesus said He came so that we may have life and have it abundantly! With God, we have ALL we need! God will always lead us to prosperity and peace. Remind yourself today, THE LORD IS
MY SHEPHERD! I SHALL NOT WANT!❤️

Father, help us to always love from a genuine place and to always wish the best for people.

Even the people who are hard to love. Let our love be selfless and unconditional. ❤️

We must stop trying to do everything on our own strength and start trusting God, who is the author and finisher of our faith! It’s not our job to have all the answers. It’s His. Put it all in God’s hands❤️
