“Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future. Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.”

Never Give Up
Today, during Leaders Huddle with Our Lady of Fatima University (OLFU) students, we've shared our highlights and low moments for the week. After hearing from everyone, we all agreed that God's message for the team is "Never Give Up!".
Aside from the team's visions and objectives, we have our individual goals too. Each of us may be facing different temptations and challenges everyday yet God is ever faithful and patient that He even encouraged us not to quit. We were reminded to fix our eyes on Jesus and throw off anything that can distract and stop us to succeed.
Before we ended in prayer, this verse came to mind,
2 Corinithians 12: 8-9 (NLT)
Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
We can continue and not give up because God is there, He is enough to keep us going. His grace is all we need. Once we become humble to accept our weaknesses and surrender all our struggles to God, He becomes our strength. His power works best in us as we depend on Him. There is indeed no reason to give up!

Be Still
“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.” (Psalms 46:10 NLT)
May this verse be an encouragement to all! He's asking us to keep the faith and not be shaken. God is in control!
Thank You, Lord! You are amazing! Another Blessed Day for us! :)

All About Him
A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense. (Proverbs 19:11 NIV)
I believe all of us needs to be reminded of this verse. These two - being impatient and being sensitive - are most likely being used by the enemy to attack us. As soon as we feel these, everything else becomes blurry, unstable, and out of control.
Let's ask God everyday for wisdom on how to become patient and ask for outpouring grace not to get offended!
It is not about us anyway, it is all about God. His plans, His will, His glory.

Keep On Dreaming
Reminder For The Day!
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future". (Jeremiah 29:11)
This verse has somewhat became a cliche to most people. But this morning, it gave another meaning to me and some friends. As I was asking God for a Word that I could share to the LifeBox Caloocan staff, God impressed this verse to me including this question - Have you guys stopped dreaming after hearing your call?
We all have our own specific calling (aside from our general call to share the gospel). For us in LifeBox, it is to go full-time in the ministry of reaching the next generation for Christ. For some, it could be working in the corporate world and be a living testimony of God's love to his colleagues, or maybe to manage his own business and be a channel of God's blessings to other people. I'm sure there's a long list for that. Yet, once we get to know what our calling is, what do we do next? Of course, we will do our best to fulfill our call, then what?
Let us be reminded to keep on dreaming. As what it says in Jeremiah, God has great plans ahead of us. He has plans to prosper us so we keep on going. We don't stop dreaming. We should continue dreaming big not just for ourselves but also for our families, our friends, our colleagues and for everyone around us. Let us all be excited and hopeful for that promised future which He has planned for us! :)

Not Alone
Reminder For The Day!
“The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name." (Exodus 15:2, 3 NIV)
We don't fight alone. God fights with us that's why we are secured and confident that we will win every battle and every challenge which tries to stop us from living a victorious life.

Abundant Life
Reminder For The Day
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." (John 10:10 ESV)
Let's not allow the enemy to distract us and steal our joy. Let's declare God's power over our lives instead, and fight for His great plans for us! Good night! God loves us no matter what!
