  • ..all these things shall be added unto you

     

    seek ye first the kingdom of God n His righteousness,

    n all these things shall be added unto you."


    sometimes it's hard to understand this verse.

    we know we also have to be smart n practical n not to interpret this in a lazy way.

    we can interpret this verse as always coming to church, help the church,

    keep trying to save souls, spend a lot of time in praise n worship,

    come to prayer n cell group meetings, volunteer to cook for the church lunch,

    be involved in church activities, bible study, etc..

    n the expect God to help u in all things.


    it reminds me of Martha.

    Jesus did not say what Martha was doing was wrong.

    Jesus is talking about priorities.
    Jesus is more concerned about holiness. seek "His righteousness"


    The goal of redemption is holiness.


    we are to say "no" to ungodliness n worldly passions
    to live self-controlled, upright n godly lives
    if u seek after money, money with wings will fly away.


    if u compare Abraham n Lot, Lot seek after materialism..

    Lot saw the plain of Jordan n it was like the land of Egypt.(Gen 13:10)
    but for Abraham, in Hebrews 11:8,
    "by faith Abraham obeyed..n he went out not knowing where he was going.By faith he dwelled in tents as he waited for the city whose builder is God.
    These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them n confessed that they were strangers n pilgrims on the earth. for those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland.
    16..But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God.., for He has prepared a city for them.'


    Abraham did not seek after money or riches or fame or to be soimebody great. He seek after the heavenly city.
    He obeyed the voice of God. He believed in God's promises. He waited patiently. He waited for God to perform.
    When he reached Canaan, he saw nothing except famine. And people said Egypt got food. So he went into Egypt.
    And God used a dream to get him out. Egypt is not for him.
    like abraham, if we seek not our own will but His will n holiness, God takes care of everything.
    do not follow the greed n ways of the world...its ways of compromis, greed, dishonesty, its sensuality, wantonness n lust.
    be meek n humble. learn to bring our wills into submission n obedience to the will of God.
    learn to wait upon God.
    God is already preparing many things for us.
    take what is already prepared for u. do not take what is not meant for u.
    in this way u will find contentment. Abraham only takes what God is giving him.
    n God really blessed Abraham. n Abraham was successful n wealthy. he did not have to strive n be depressed n disappointed.
    Abraham gave what he received from God. he gave to lot. he gave to the king of Sodom n took nothing from him.
    because his riches come only frm God, his source of unending riches without limit.
    i can keep giving to others because i m taking from God's resources that has no limit.

    Love God as you love yourself.

    Life is precious indeed!

    but what's most important is

    how you're living this life of yours.

    There're many questions on this planet earth that go unanswered;

    many things are left unexplained.

    Men have always try to outbeat each other,

    to discover and find new explanations

    but what really matters is what we think and believe.

    Have we been living a lie all our lives?

    or do we know the real truth?

    It's impossible to live this life on earth

    that's so complex and complicated,

    without the help from God.

    People of all ages take for granted the life they have,

    without realising the grace and mercy they have.

    The Lord is always there for us,

    whether we know it or not.

    What you need to do is just

    go to a place where you're alone,

    close your eyes, calm yourself, keep your mind clear,

    except for the thoughts of God and His presence.

    Let Him bring you to a place

    where you've never been,

    to see the heavenly realms,

    to be completely lost with Him,

    where nothing else matters,

    where it is just you and Him,

    the total peace and tranquility

    that you've never experienced before.


     


    lydia

    Everyone is born a sinner

    but this does not mean we are all evil.

    Because in everyone of us

    we've love n compassion in our hearts.

    It's whether we express it in our actions

    or we practise it in our lives.

    We're all creations of God,

    black or white, red or yellow...

    we are all  loved equally by the Lord.

    Therefore keep your head high in your times of troubles,

    and look up to God...

    where does my help come from?

    Do not fear, for everything is under control,

    if you let God be God.

    So rejoice everyday

    and give thanks to God.

    Continue to stay strong in faith

    and cling on tight to Him.


    muna

    Our souls are cleansed through obedience to God's truth in God's Word.

    You purify yourself by obeying the truth,

    obeying God's voice in God's Word.

    The truth of God's Word has life, gives life and nourishes life.

     Wrong attitudes in our hearts make us

    lose appetite for the pure word of God.

    When we stop feeding on the Word of God,

    we stop growing, and we stop tasting

    the grace that we find in the Lord.

    Obedience is a constant dependence on a moment by moment fellowship with God.

    It is trust in God's will.

    It is joy of hearing God's voice, which gives the strength.

    God's voice gives power to obey His Word.

    The heart of God is in His voice, in His Word.


     

    laura

    Love thy God with all thy heart, all thy soul,

    all thy mind n all thy strength.

    Cherish every moment u have with Him

    because He never stops loving you.

    Let His love surrounds you all the time.

    Walk in His wisdom n His truth.

    God is love

    n everything He does is all out of love.

    If only the world we live in

    has only one third of His love,

    then this world would not be such a cruel place.

    But mankind is blind,

    n people are wicked n selfish.

    They don't care; they don't love.

    They only rob n kill.

    But there's one hope...in God.

    There're so few people who're willing

    to stand in the gap,

    to pray for their fellow brethren.

    You're to love one another like Jesus first loved you.

    Seek His ways

    for they're higher than our ways,

    n you'll be blessed.


    ballard

    What's important in life is who we really are,

    and what we place our beliefs in.

    We'll lose everything around us one day.

    Friends come and friends go;

    our loved ones will one day leave us.

    We can't bring what we own now on this earth to heaven.

    But there's one thing that remains eternally,

    and that is, our souls.

    This life on earth is hard and very complicated,

    but if God were to hold your hand through every second of your life,

    you would see everything in a different perspective.

    Things will still be hard and not smooth going,

    but you would never feel lost again.

    It's like a child being guided by the father,

    and feels so protected.

    Go to the Lord,

    and you will find comfort there.

    He'll never let His children be forsaken.


    vivien

    To love is to care for others

    as God cares for us.

    The world around us is full of evil

    n to find true love nowadays

    is a very hard thing to do

    because men n women alike

    all have become so selfish

    n so very self-centred.

    All they want is the best for themselves.

    They think only of themselves

    (so very careful...not to be disappointed)

    But there's still hope in God.

    He alone is FAITHFUL n TRUTHFUL.

    You can safely lean on HIM

    in EVERYTHING

    because He's always there

    to help you in your times of your needs.

    Come to Him.

    Everything that has happened in your life

    is the results of the choices you had made.

    Even when bad things happened,

    it's also your choices you choose to response

    how you choose to face them.

    Just know that you are not alone

    n nothing is impossible with God.

    Everyday is a new day.

    Just receive it with an open heart

    n a positive mindset.


    nathan

    Love will find a way in every situation.

    It's important we know God really loves us.

    God is looking down on us

    n straightening our paths.

    but sadly, His presence usually goes unnoticed.

    He knocks on the door, but we don't let Him in.

    He's calling out to us most of the times,

    but we don't response.

    God always plan the best for us

    for He loves us.

    for u r His beloved child

    n u r part of the royalty of Heaven.

    Think over your life

    ask yourself

    do u need a turning point,

    a make over in your life?

    For many of us, life is just routine n boring

    but once God's light

    were to shine on u

    n through u

    your life is totally different.


    mary

    God is love,

    He does everything for His people.

    Only through love can one's heart can be touched.

    The cross is a symbol of love and sacrifice.

    All who believe in Him shall be saved.

    But that alone is not enough.

    Many times in life

    we put God out of the picture.

    many people neglect His presence;

    they can't even spend an hour a day with Him.

    But God judge all of us differently,

    He knows our limitations and abilities.

    He will only command us to do something

    when He knows we are ready.

    The thing that keeps every child of God moving

    is His endless grace and mercy.

    A person without God's grace will stumble in life.

    We fall short of His glory

    when we stop loving Him from within our heats,

    when we become cold and lukewarm,

    when we start to compromise

    and the line between black and white is blurred.

    God is seeing the inner us, not what we present to others.

    We are transparent before the Lord,

    all our thoughts, feelings and desires He knows them all.

    know that there is still hope,

    know that the Lord is coming back soon.

    The question is...

    are we ready?

    How sure are we

    that we would be with the Lord for eternity?

    There is freedom in the Lord.

    Satan is only the Prince on this earth,

    and in heaven he is nothing.

    We are the children of Almighty God,

    not slaves of the devil.

    We have power over the evil one

    in the name of Jesus.

    God is the Prince of peace.

    So seek peace among yourselves.

    For the road to heaven is narrow.

    And only those who really love God

    can be with Him

    after life on this earth.


    Colleen

    stay strong

    in the Lord

    in His words

    and His promises.

    hold onto Him,

    cling onto His every Word

    what u sow is what u reap

    God's love is eternal

    there's no boundary

    to God's plan for u

    God wants the best for your life

    All He cares

    is your well-being

    so tap into the spiritual realms

    and feel His love for u

    His love for u is

    so strong and solid

    appreciate life,

    and everything

    that God has given u

    even the rain and sunshine

    n the air u breathe

    do things according

    to His will for your life

    n see your life bloom


    liz

    The Lord loves u very much,

    n if u continue to love Him n obey Him n His Word,

    He'll bless u, n your blessings will flow to your family.

    The Lord knows your heart, a heart after His wisdom like King Solomon.

    Because u seek His wisdom, the Lord will reveal to u

    more of His wisdom,

    n mysteries n secrets of His Word to u.


    jennifer

    The Lord is your shepherd n u shall not lack, for He'll make u to lie down in green pastures.

    He'll lead u beside still waters n restores your soul.

    Though u walk through the valley of the shadow of death, u'll fear no evil.

    For the Lord is with u, n He'll comfort u.

    He anoints your head with oil

    Surely goodness n mercy shall follow u all the days of

    your life.

    The Lord will bless u .Your blessings are sure n abiding, staying with u.

    The Lord knows u do worry, n He's saying to u

    that u don't have to,

    only believe n trust in Him n in His Word


    Saressa

    u have a great future ahead.

    hard work of course is important

    but for success in whatever u do

    it takes more than that.

    nothing happens by chance

    it's for a reason.

    the secret to success is meekness.

    blessed r the meek.

    like Moses.

    be in God's will.

    the humble will be lifted up.

    conform not to the ways of the world.

    depression n stress can pull u down.

    look to God not to people n friends.


    n the Lord says to u...

    "know that I AM

    a covenant-keeping God.

    I AM always there 4u

    to uphold u

    to protect u.

    so love Me with all your heart.

    spend every moment u've with Me.

    Jesus's your everything.

    I know u better than your best friend does.

    I watch over u day n night.

    I notice every single detail of u,

    any changes in your appearance

    I can see.

    Allow Me to make u happy everyday.

    play with the angels.

    allow Me to rock your world upside down.

    let others see

    that u have Me in you

    that u have Me with you

    n nothing can come against u.

    I open doors no one can shut

    so have faith in Me, n be strong.

    live right

    with the help of My grace to u

    n life will just come together for u." amen.


    Knowing Me just by My name

    and knowing Me truly,

    like knowing My feelings and My character

    are totally two different things.

    Reading the bible with true understanding

    is important.

    Do not use human strength to think,

    but allow Me to open your heart,

    open your mind

    to new revelations and discoveries.

    There're many truths in the bible

    that mere human eyes cannot see.

    I desire your undivided and true love from your heart,

    and not something you've to do as a routine

    in order to please Me.

    What really matters to Me

    is your heart and feelings towards Me.

    Everybody has done something bad in his/her life.

    Apostle Paul also did many wrong things that hurt My heart,

    but still I not only forgave him but used him for My kingdom.

    I  see things differently.

    What are bad can become good in My perfect time and will.


    meike

    God loves u as u r.

    There's no need to be an extra person in anything.

    God loves u as you r now.

    But always remember the greatness of God in your life.

    Just keep doing what u r doing, only doing for the Lord

    Do not turn to the right or to the left,

    always looking unto the Lord

    that He is your Master in everything.

    Follow Him.

    The Lord will take you to different places for His purpose.

    Wait upon Him for the right timing. amen.


    "seek My righteousness n My glory

    know that I love mankind

    for I had promised never again to send another flood

    to wipe out all the wickedness of men

    from the face of the earth,

    for I had given the rainbow

    as a sign of My covenant.

    I knew u even b4 u were born

    n already loved u

    even b4 the existence of this world

    n willing to die 4u.

    n I've so much hope n faith in u.

    but where's the faith?

    where's the trust?

    where's the love ?

    do people think of Me everyday?

    do they say how grateful they're?

    that they love Me?

    Do not put Me in the closet n forget Me

    but allow Me to shine through you." amen.


    Open up your heart to the Lord

    let Him in n be Lord over your life

    be the salt of the world

    make a difference

    be a history maker

    especially at this end times,

    everything is so unpredictable

    n nothing can be taken for granted.

    so make full use of your time

    use it for God

    please Him with your life. amen.


    God is love.

    He is always by your side.

    Loving Him is all one can do to repay Him.

    God sees us as His children, n like a father,

    He expects nothing in return from His child.

    Jesus treasures very much our relationships with Him.

    He wants us so much, that He's sad when we ignore Him.

    Everyday He grieves for His people (whom He created),

    when they turn their backs on Him.

    Imagine how u feel when someone u love so much

    turn his/her back on u.

    He carried the sins of the world upon Himself on the cross,and

    the Father had to turn His face away from Him.

    Jesus sacrificed so much for us,

    n what had we done for Him?

    What can we do?

    You can start a true n deep relationship with Him.

    That's what He longs so much for,

    that's what He treasures the most.

    All the things we have on this earth are only of temporary value.

    But everything we have with Christ is everlasting.

    There's a great difference between the two.

    Drink from the well that never runs dry. amen.


    Out there there is only

    one God

    one Truth, that lies beneath all mysteries

    one road that leads us to eternity.

    follow Jesus n u will see the truth

    u will find your way eventually.

    let Him guide you

    let Him bring you

    through the storms in your life

    Across the oceans, across the skies,

    there is only one true Kingdom,

    one treasure that belongs to us.

    live life meaningfully.

    God is always there for you.

    just call out His name

    n He'll come to your rescue.amen.

  • put your trust in God

    • don't let the evil one or anyone pull you down
      or influence your principle in what's right
      stand firm on your belief.
      differentiate right from wrong
      based on the Lord's wisdom.

      don't go astray,

      but go back to your creator.
      love Him as He first loved u.
      do right n don't go against your conscience.
      hear the still, small voice in u.
      u know it's there, n it's right
      but u sometimes doubt yourself.
      have peace within your heart.

      hold on to the things u believed in,

      put your trust in God
      n b faithful to Him
      for He'll never forsake u

      forgive one another
      love the Lord with all your heart,
      all your soul n all your mind.
      don't despise others,

      or look down on yourself.
      know that the Lord's always with u
      He'll never forsake u.

      the key to success is
      love others as u love yourself
      love Me above everything else
      please Me in all ways
      read the bible n learn of My ways
      lean not on thy own understanding
      but trust Me in all things

      what's important in life
      is who we really are
      n what we place our beliefs in.
      we'll lose everything
      around us one day.

      friends come n friends go
      our beloved ones will one day leave us
      we can't bring what we own now
      on this earth and bring them to heaven
      they're of different values in heaven
      but there's one thing that remains eternally
      n that is our souls
  • no matter the past

    Reaching out in a world so blind,


    grasping for the light.
    Climbing up from the depths

    that held me captive for so long.

    Avoiding the sharp blades

    that could rip open the wounds.
    Cradling myself in the darkness

    trying to seek comfort.

    Fighting a past that has left my heart

    torn to shreds.

    Fighting for a future

    not wanting things to be the same.

    Pulling every ounce of strength

    to hold myself up.
    Trying to heal a heart

    so broken from the pain.

    Yes I will rise

    above the damage that has been done.
    Growing stronger

    from the deep cuts in my soul.

    The scars may be forever.......
    But I will not allow them

    to define me........


    A thousand times I've failed
    Still Your mercy remains
    And should I stumble again
    but still I'm caught in your grace

    No matter the past.

    We cannot change what has happened.

    We do have one power…

    we can trust God to redeem the past.


    If we let Him.

    God can use the evil of what has happened

    And transforms it into something good.

    Failures can give way to a calling.

    God’s grace can transform evil into good,

    If we’re willing to receive God’s forgiveness,

    To forgive others,

    and to trust in God to work things out.


    Your light will shine when all else fades
    my heart n my soul, Lord I give you control
    Consume me from the inside out.
    From the inside out, my soul cries out

  • no matter your tears

    Put your trust in me,
    everything will be fine as you see.
    I hold you in my arms n I won't let go.
    just be bold.

    I will cry with u a river and taste your tears.
    I will hold you and keep you safe...
    safe from all your fears.
    Come and put your head on my shoulder
    and place your hand in mine.
    Hold on tight. 
    I promise you everything will be fine.

    You got to trust Me with all your heart.
    Have no doubts.
    Turn from your old ways, start anew.
    I AM always there to help you when you fall,
    to accept you when you run back to Me.

    Keep your eyes focus on the Me.
    I shall make a way
    where there seems to be only a dead end.
    you can’t hide your thoughts or feelings from Me,
    because I know and feel them all
    but I still want u to open up to Me
    to express them out to Me.

    Trust God in times of trouble.
    All God requires is a little faith,
    as small as a mustard seed.
    Don’t look down upon this faith,
    because it can move a mountain.

    Open up your heart to God.
    People might had hurt you and harm you in any way,
    but it is different with God.
    Have a personal encounter with God.

    We  get lost when God is not put first in our lives.
    We feel life is not worth living and is meaningless,
    Everything appears to be so bleak.

    But do you know  how glorious our God is?
    How wonderful heaven is?
    Let the love of God fills your heart,
     take over the emptiness and hurts in you.
    Let Him heal you.
