Unbreakable

Luke 6:47-48
47 Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
In recent events from different parts of the world, there are varieties of natural disasters happening in this world. In Philippines, we know that earthquakes becoming a norms in Mindanao region and 20-30 different levels of Typhoons crossing it annually. While here in Australia, there are droughts across many farmlands while bush fires are increasing and aggravating resulting to destruction of many houses and lives.
If we are a homeowners, we tend to keep our homes as safe and protected as we can from any of destruction brought by these calamities both physically and spiritually. Attending to the needs of our respective homes, keeping it a better place for ourselves and our loved ones, and an enjoyable sanctuary for rest and recreations.
However, is our home prone to any forms of disasters? Maybe Yes. Maybe No. it all depends on its foundation, constructions materials used, and maintenance. To some they want the risk of disasters like these be transferred to others by getting a home and/or contents insurance. In reality, all homes are meant for destruction especially when it met every disastrous event.
This is not far from us, as we walk in our faith in Christ Jesus, our Lord and Saviour. His promise of an UNBREAKABLE SPIRIT is with those who COME to Him, HEAR His Words, and DOES them. These three important actions should continue to exercise by every disciples of Christ that we may have disaster proofed lives. Destruction are not meant for those who abide in Christ Jesus.
Coming to Jesus invites His Rest so that we will always be excited to bring His presence in our respective lives. Hearing His Words attends to the very need of our lives - He is our bread, our living water, our breath of life, our shelter of hope and our cloth of purity. Doing His Words keeps us to His righteousness that we may endure everything even in the face of destruction.
Jesus clearly shown us, the lives of every believer is not free from any destruction. But just like what He did in ark made by Noah, He SEALED it that there will be no opportunity for disaster to cause destruction to any lives within it. That is the same promise He gave to everyone of us today.
There is no need to worry of many adversaries in lives, we only have to keep in our minds to COME to Jesus, HEAR His Words, and DO them; then, we will have a kind of life that is UNBREAKABLE.
Happy Free Day and God bless us all!

Put Our Hope In God, not in uncertainties

(Midweek Devotions, 1 Timothy 6:17-21 - 25 Oct 2023) 1 Timothy 6:17-20 17  Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.  18  Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.  19  In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. 20  Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge,  21  which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith. Grace be with you all. We are in the final last 5 verses in book of First Timothy, an important pastoral letter which is very helpful for any man of God...

Man of God - Pursue, Fight, Take Hold

(Midweek Devotion - 1 Timothy 6:11-16, 18 Oct 2023) 1 Timothy 6:11-16 11  But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. 12   Fight the good fight of the faith . Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13   I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, 14   to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15  which he will display at the proper time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16  who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen. In the parting words of Apostle Paul to Timothy, aft...

Spiritual Gifts Are Free Gifts

Acts 8: 18-23 18  Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,  19  saying, "Give me this power also, so that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit."  20  But Peter said to him, "May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!  21  You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.  22  Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.  23  For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity." All disciples of Jesus have given the power from God through the Holy Spirit. This is something Jesus had told us that He will send us an advocate or a helper and He will teach us with righteousness and will help us to remember everything that He taught us. T...

Godliness with Contentment is Great Gain

(Midweek Devotion, 1 Timothy 6:6-10) 1 Timothy 6:6-10 6  But godliness with contentment is great gain, 7  for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. 8  But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. 9  But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10  For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. One of today’s common deception in modern Christianity movement is the use of the Gospel as a solution to life of prosperity. Though the Bible have shown us many great examples of people of God who received and accumulated great wealth in their obedience to God, that does not mean that we also have to focus of such things in our walk of faith. What does the Bible said about prosperities ...

Respect - To Serve Them Even Better

(Midweek Devotion, 1st Timothy 6:1-2, 27 Sept 2023) 1st Timothy 6:1-2 1 All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God’s name and our teaching may not be slandered. 2 Those who have believing masters should not show them disrespect just because they are fellow believers. Instead, they should serve them even better because their masters are dear to them as fellow believers and are devoted to the welfare of their slaves. One of the great things about the Sacred Scriptures is that, it does not talk about God alone but also talks about His creatures behaviour, particularly human being, more specificallly those who are His people. 1st Timothy 6 gave us an idea of how both one who are UNDER authority and one who are IN authority should behave as bearers of the name of God. The Bible clearly values authority and how important one should submit to an authority over him. The Bible itself claims authority for Truth, thus, no wonder tha...
