One Way Only (Christian Devotions)

"And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:19

So yun! I am writing this by faith kasi honestly wala rin akong pera (pero promise, pag inupload ko ito, tapos na problema ko). So currently, ang tanging laman ng account ko (as if naman may account ako) is 10 pesos! Kaloka. Haha. Pero that does not change the fact na God is good all the time.

At times, we ask, why do God let us go through financial crisis? Bakit hindi tayo makapagbayad ng hospital bills, makapagenroll sa school na gusto natin. Kung kailan mo kailangan ng pera, tyaka wala! We also tend to tell ourselves, "Faithful naman ako sa giving ko! Pero bakit ganon?"

You might take it as a curse. Well, kung curse yan dahil baka may point na naging unfaithful ka. Double check mo yun kapatid! Confess ka agad.

But most of the time, the Lord puts us in this situations because He's teaching us different things. Well personally, I think, God is increasing my FAITH and my TRUST in Him.

The Holy Spirit recalled a story in the Bible found in 1 Kings 17. It was about a widow na wala nang makain. Imagine that. Huling kain na ng anak niya tapos hintayin na lang nilang mamatay sila. Elijah the prophet then spoke a word to them, tapos BOOM! Unlimited flour at oil ang dumaloy! O di ba. Oo pre UNLIMITED! Imagine having a God who can provide such!

Yes, HE IS ABLE. O di ba, ako na nagsasabi kahit hindi pa ako makaalis sa hospital, makakaalis na ako! O di ba, faith ongoing 😂 I am confident kasi ilang beses na akong sinalba ni Lord, ngayon pa ba siya magfefail?

Ephesians 3:20 "Now to Him who is ABLE to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us." Yes bro, HE IS ABLE. He can go beyond our prayers. He is never delayed and HE IS ALWAYS ON TIME. Pero what to do? Here are things you can do.

1. P r a y

Wag to mawawala because YOU REALLY HAVE TO! You might have the faith, but you must PRAY to make it work. Praying will help us find peace in our deepest needs. It helps us recognize who God is. When you pray, syempre nagkakaroon ng revelation. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 declares, "pray continually". Don't give up on praying. Sabi nga rin ni Lord sa Matthew 7:1, " Ask and it shall be given unto you..." Be specific with what you need as well. Gusto ni Lord detalyado (because He is the GOD of details, based on my experience tyaka sa Bible, imaginine mo yung Ark kung hindi detalyado). Pray kasi God cares for you. Sabi nga sa 1 Peter 5:7, "Cast all your anxieties upon Him for He cares for you." (Lupit ni Lord magpaalala ng mga verses 😂) Isa pa, God already knew what we need even before we ask Him. Maybe you should just WAIT and SEEK.

2. R E V E L A T I O N

ASK for His revelation. I was also asking God why did He let me through this situation. Sobrang hirap at nakakahiya talaga, parang you're begging lagi. What He placed in my heart is that He'll use my situation for His glory one day. That I'll be reaching out people na who needs prayer and encouragement just as I do. I'll be using it as a testimony one day.

Ask God kasi may gusto rin siyang ILAGAY sa puso mo. Always remember that in every situation you face, may reason si Lord. May purpose siya.

3. W A I T expectantly.

Wait with expectation kasi may Diyos ka na never ka finail. HE GOES BEYOND EXPECTATIONS pa and then He leaves you like, "seriously, Lord?! Ang buti mo!" Continuously HOPE in Him because He never fails. Pag sa tao ka umasa, wala kang mapapapala. That was stated in Jeremiah 17:7, "But blessed is the man who TRUSTS in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him." BLESSED RAW, kapatid. Hindi ka ipapalya ni Lord kasi ganoon siya kafaithful. He cannot deny Himself.

So yun lang! Kung ako lang, gusto ko na magblog, kung GOD-WILLING 😂 Remember that God is good all the time. Many times the devil will try to deceive you but don't let Him. Remain in God's word kasi hindi papalya ang kabutihan ni Lord. KAPIT lang kapatid. He will provide. ❤
