Theme: Living for Christ 
Text: Philippians 1:21-24

 21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. 24 Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.


Our existence in this world is a journey. Everyone will surely come to the end of his/her journey according to specific time and will of God. Account will be rendered on what has been done by each individual. What account will you give?

Have this mind with the Apostles Paul, that if you are home on this earth, you will dedicate your life to the service of the Lord. Proclaim the Gospel of salvation to the perishing and lead them to the Light of the Lord. Beloved in the Lord, look around you and begin to ponder over the souls in your community, workplace, among friends, etc. Are they saved or they are nearing destruction? So long as you're alive, it's needful you labor for the Lord. May the Lord help us number our days on earth that we may apply wisdom.


Prayer: Use me o God for Your glory. Uphold me in Your precepts, that I may abide in Your will all the days of my life in Jesus name. AMEN!

John’s baptism was the baptism unto repentance: An act of confession and turning from sin which anticipated the coming of the Messiah. Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!
