Continue. Pursue. Just go with the flow

I want to share my devotion for today and talagang ni-remind talaga ako ng LORD sa bagay na'to..

Biblical Passages: Acts 17-19
     "Do not be afraid. Keep on speaking, do not be silent." - Acts 18:9


Message:
   We don't need to be afraid when we do our responsibility to God. God remind us that whatever happen, never give up. He is there and He send many people to help us in soul-winning. Hindi tayo nag-iisa. Even there are times na naii-struggle na tayo, it is not the reason para tumiwalag tayo. Just continue what we are doing. Just go with the flow.


Reflection:
   In the passage, Paul together with the believers, they visit many places to spread the Salvation through Jesus Christ. Many people believe for what they saying and there is also against on them and this are the people who believe in their hand-made gods. That's we call "idolatry". Paul clear to them that there is only one God that source of everything, Acts 17:24-25, "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else."
   Don't  be afraid for what we have doing for God. Kahit kalabanin tayo, let's stand for God ^__^


Motivation:
   Sa ngayon, medyo sinusuko ko na ang mga alaga ko. ang naiisip ko, nasasayang lang ang time, effort ko sa kanila dahil wala namang nangyayari. But now, God clear to me that there's no reason para gumiv-up. In the passage, Paul never give-up on spreading the Word even sinasaktan na sila ng mga tao. But Paul said this, Acts 18:6, But when the Jews opposed Paul and became abusive, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am clear of my responsibility. From now on I will go to the Gentiles." Sabi naman ng pastor namin,kung nabigay mo na lahat sa mga taong ito at wala pa ring nangyayari, bitawan mo na. Yes, it is true. Pero para sa akin habang may time pa ko sa campus, hinding-hindi ko bibitawan ang mga batang ito. I continue to pray for them, I continue to help them but after I graduate and wala pa ding nangyari, that is the time na bibitawan ko na sila. I believe naman na sa loob ng 1 1/2 years ko sa PUP, may mangyayari, God will provide it to me. Because He knows that I love this people,


Application:
   I think hindi pa ganun katindi ung effort na pinapakita ko. I need pa itong dagdagan. I need to move quickly, dagdagan ko pa ang dapat kong gawin and surrender everything kung may mga hindrance man sa ministry ko. I need to continue. I need to pursue, there's nothing to doubt, there's nothing to afraid of.
