PRAYER as a Way of Life by Sis. Cristy and Bro. Rolly Custodio

CONFUSED OR WORRIED? YOUR FIRST THING TO DO IS PRAY!

‘…Take the yoke I give you. Put it on your shoulders and learn from Me…’Matthew 11:29 CEV

Today’s Devotion

Are you worried today? If you are, begin to pray these words until they take root in your faith, and become fixed attitude towards God! This prayer brings results!

“Father, You told me not to fear, for You are with me. You will strengthen me, You will help me, and You will uphold me with the right hand of Your righteousness. You said that those who rise up against me will be confounded (Isaiah 41:10-11). You also said that no evil would befall me, neither would any plaque come near my dwelling, for You have given Your angels charge over me to keep me in all my ways (Psalm 91:10-11). You declared that when I walk through the rivers of difficulty, You won’t let me down. When I walk through the fires of oppression, I will not be burned, for You are the Lord my God (See Isaiah 43:2-3).

“You said that no weapon that is formed against me will prosper and that You will silence every tongue that rises against me in judgement because I am Your servant (see Isaiah 54:17). You promised that I ask anything according to Your will, You would hear me and that I could have it (1John5:14-15). You said I am blessed when I go out and blessed when I come in (see Deuteronomy 28:6). You told me to cast all y cares on You, and You would take care of me (see 1Peter5:7).”

Application: “These are Your Words and I thank You for bringing them to pass in my life. You said it! I believe it! And that settles it! Amen”

Today’s Prayer

Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word today. Lord thank you for teaching me this powerful prayer reminding your promise Lord that it will come to pass. Lord thank you that you have your Word to hold on and to trust on while we are facing difficulty. Lord empowers me by your Word so that I would not be feared against my enemy because you back up your Word. As the Bible says Lord that your Word will not return to you empty but it will accomplished of what purposely plan. Lord teaches me to walk by faith and not by sight for your glory In Jesus’ Name.

FOLLOW JESUS AS OUR ROLE MODEL (PART-4)

PRAYER as a Way of Life by Sis. Cristy and Bro. Rolly Custodio

FOLLOW JESUS AS OUR ROLE MODEL (PART-4)

‘…Take the yoke I give you. Put it on your shoulders and learn from Me…’Matthew 11:29 CEV

Today’s Devotion

The relationship Jesus had with the Father is a prototype of the relationship He wants you to have with Him.

Jesus was so intimate with the Father that He could say, ‘…I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me…’ (John 14:11 NIV). Jesus was also intimately acquainted with the Holy Spirit. His first recorded sermon begins with: ‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me…’ (Luke 4:18 NAS). He was ‘…led by the Spirit…’ (Matthew 4:1 NIV) and ‘…full of the Holy Spirit…’ (Luke 4:1 NIV). He returned from forty very tough days of being tempted by the devil in the wilderness ‘…in the power of the Spirit…’ (Luke 4:14 NIV).

He was submitted to the Father and empowered by the Spirit. It was His habit to go to worship (Luke 4:16). It was His practice to memorize Scripture (Luke 4:4). Luke says Jesus ‘…often slipped away to be alone so He could pray’ (Luke 5:16 NCV). His times of prayer guided Him. He once returned from prayer and announced that it was time to move to another city (Mark 1:38), and another time of prayer resulted in the selection of His disciples (Luke 6:12-13). Jesus was led by an unseen hand. ‘…The Son does whatever the Father does’ (John 5:19 NCV).

In the same chapter He stated, ‘I can do nothing alone. I judge [each situation] only the way I am told…’ (John 5:30 NCV).

Application: Today pray, ‘Father, keep me sharp, sensitive and surrendered to You in all things; not as a last resort but a first response. Take over. Jesus within me, live Your life through me!’

Parallel verses: Jer 1-3, Matt 23:15-28, Ps 55:1-11, Pro 8:17-18

Today’s Prayer

Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word today. Lord thank you for teaching me to always pray and being sensitive to obey what the Father speaks. Lord strengthens me that I may walk according to your will and plan for my life. Lord teaches me to be intimate always with you so that I may not make mistakes of what you want me to do Lord for the ministry and direction you set before me for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!

FOLLOW JESUS AS OUR ROLE MODEL (PART-3)

PRAYER as a Way of Life by Sis. Cristy and Bro. Rolly Custodio

FOLLOW JESUS AS OUR ROLE MODEL (PART-3)

‘…Leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps.’ 1 Peter 2:21 NIV

Today’s Devotion

If you’re serious about becoming like Jesus, examine your heart, then examine His:

(1) His heart was pure. He was cared for by women, yet never accused of lustful thoughts (Luke 8:1-3). Peter, who travelled with Him for three and a half years, described Him as a lamb ‘…unblemished and spotless…’ (1 Peter 1:19 NAS). John concluded, ‘…In Him is no sin’ (1 John 3:5 NIV).

(2) His heart was peaceful. His disciples shouted for fear in the storm, but not Jesus. He slept through it (Luke 8:22-25). Peter drew his sword to fight the soldiers; He lifted His hand to heal (Luke 22:47-51). When Peter denied Him, did Jesus lose His temper? When the soldiers spat in His face, did He breathe fire in theirs? No, He was at peace. He forgave them. He refused to be guided by vengeance.

(3) His heart was purposeful. He could summarize His life with one sentence: ‘The Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost’ (Luke 19:10 RSV). Jesus was so focused that He knew when to say, ‘…My time has not yet come’ (John 2:4 ESV) and when to say, ‘…It is finished…’(John19:30NIV). But He was not so focused that He was unpleasant. Children couldn’t resist Him. He could find beauty in lilies, joy in worship, and possibilities in problems. He could spend His days with multitudes of sick people and still feel sorry for them. He spent over three decades wading through the muck and mire of our sin, yet still saw enough beauty in us to die for our mistakes. And you are called to follow in His steps.

Parallel verses: Hosea 11-14, Matt 23:1-14, Ps 13, Pro 8:14-16

Today’s Prayer

Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word today. Lord thank you for you are our role model who have pure heart and a peace spirit. Lord you called me for a purpose in my life to be used to share your Good News to the lost souls. Lord strengthens me to carry on the works that you were doing here before on earth because you have always a better plans and purpose in life that I will submit and follow you absolutely without reservation but ready to be used anytime and anywhere to serve you in your Church your for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!

FOLLOW JESUS AS OUR ROLE MODEL (PART-2)

‘Grace and peace be yours…through the knowledge of…Jesus our Lord.’ 2 Peter 1:2 NIV

Today’s Devotion

If you think God’s love for you would be stronger if your faith was stronger, you are wrong. If you think His love would be deeper if your thoughts and actions were better, you are wrong again. Don’t confuse God’s love with people’s love. Their love increases with performance and decreases with mistakes. Not so with God’s love. He loves you just the way you are, but He refuses to leave you that way.

Max Lucado writes: ‘When my daughter, Jenna, was a toddler, I used to take her to a park… One day as she was playing in a sandbox, an ice-cream salesman approached us. I purchased her a treat, and when I turned to give it to her, I saw her mouth was full of sand… Did I love her with dirt in her mouth? Absolutely. Was she any less my daughter with dirt in her mouth? Of course not. Was I going to allow her to keep the dirt in her mouth? No way. I carried her over to the water fountain and washed out her mouth. Why? Because I love her.

God does the same for us. He holds us over the fountain. “Spit out the dirt, honey,” our Father urges. “I’ve got something better for you.” And so He cleanses us of filth: immorality, dishonesty, prejudice, bitterness, greed. We don’t enjoy the cleansing; sometimes we even opt for the dirt over the ice cream. “I can eat dirt if I want to!”… Which is true – we can. But if we do, the loss is ours. God has a better offer. He wants us to be just like Jesus.’

Parallel verses: Gal 5:22, Isa 61, Heb 12:2, Jas 1:2-3

Today’s Prayer

Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word today. Lord thank you for your unconditional love for us. The Bible says God show his love for us while we were sinners Christ died for us. Lord thank you that you did not wait on us to be perfect before you offer an eternal life to us but you oh Lord shows to us your first love when you sacrifice your life to pay all our sins as the Bible says in the book of Isaiah all of us choose our own way and all are gone astray but you choose to die in our behalf so that we who have no hope can now have hope to received eternal life and enter heaven for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!

FOLLOW JESUS AS OUR ROLE MODEL (PART-1)

‘Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.’ Philippians 2:5 NIV

Today’s Devotion

Max Lucado writes:

‘What would your life be like, even for one day, if you were to think and act like Jesus? If His priorities governed your actions, His passions drove your decisions and His love directed your behavior? What would you be like? Would people notice the change in you? Would your family see something new? Would your co-workers sense a difference? What about the less fortunate; would you treat them like you normally do? How about your friends; would they detect more joy? How about your enemies; would they receive more grace and mercy? And how would it affect you personally? Your mood swings? Your temper? Would you sleep better?

Would you view death differently? Would you pay your taxes differently? Any chance you’d need fewer aspirins or sedatives? How about your reaction to traffic delays? Or when the deal falls through, or people don’t do what you want them to? Would you still dread what you are dreading? Better yet, would you still do what you are doing? Pause and think about your schedule, obligations, engagements, outings and appointments.

With Jesus fully in control, would these all change? Keep working on this for a moment. Adjust the lens of your imagination until you have a clear picture of Jesus leading your life, then snap the shutter and frame the image. What you see is what God wants! “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.” If you committed to living this way for a lifetime, or a year, or even a month, you would be a transformed person. So just try it for one day: today!’

Parallel verses: Hosea 6-10, Matt 22:34-46, Ps 116:12-19, Pro 8:10-13

Today’s Prayer

Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word today. Lord thank you for your Son Jesus as Role Model in our life. Lord increase my faith in Him that I may follow Him without hesitation but with faith on whatever happens to my life Lord you are there to hold me and bring me to your heaven. Lord the world is full of temptation and vices which majority are doing but you oh Lord is my model to be focus on. Lord spare me from any of these temptations and vices that I may focus and fix my eyes to you Lord and serve you for the rest of my life for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
