In the Greek New Testament there are several words we translate into English using the word "receive." "Lambano" is the Greek word we could translate as "actively receive." It is important for you to understand this word. Many expect things promised in the Bible to just fall on them. But, as you will see from understanding this word, "lambano," you have a part to play in receiving the Bible promises. You can passively receive something. An example would be someone throwing a ball through your window into your home. That kind of receiving requires no action on your part. "Lambano" is not like that. It requires that you do something. Like when you reach out your hands and grab a ball someone threw to you. For example, the following scriptures contain the Greek word, "lambano." This may help you get a better understanding of what receive means when it translates this word, lambano. MARK 12:8 NKJ 8 "And they TOOK him and kill...

Is this truly the road I need to take? I’m crying… my tears just don’t want to stop flowing and I just can’t stop crying too… I don’t want to stop crying… will all my worries disappear? Or will the situation be any better? Nope… nothing changes… but why am I crying? Lord, save me… I’m sorry for not growing in you and not helping others to grow in you too… I’m sorry for being bias towards someone, anyone. I’m really sorry. Thanks for sending someone to comfort me. Thank you so much. I don’t know which word to pick to describe how I feel. I’m blurred. I feel that I’m in total disaster. I pray lord, simply give me the strength I need… only that… no others that I need more… Nobody could and never will understand how I felt. Only he knows. It’s not about what, it’s just respect and simply understanding from others. That’s it. That’s all. My actions. My choices. I’ll take responsibilities for that. Everything. Although nobody might ever read this post of mine, but never mind. It’s not mean...

PHILIPPIANS 4:6 NLT 6 Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Worrying can't accomplish anything. So why do it? MATTHEW 6:25-34 NKJ 25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 "Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 28 "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 "and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 "Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven,...

PSALM 5:12 NIV 12 For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield. If Jesus is your Lord, then He is also your righteousness (1 Corinthians 1:30, Romans 5:17). So, you are righteous in Christ and qualify for this blessing. Favor is the blessing of God causing people to like you and treat you well. Why expect favor? Because God is your Father. He loves you. And He responds to faith. When you walk in faith you expect blessings. PROVERBS 16:7 NIV 7 When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him. Some people always talk of how badly they are treated and how things always go wrong for them. Should we be surprised? After all, Jesus told us in Mark 11:23 that we would have what we say. Why not begin to say that God surrounds your life with favor? quoted from a devotion

My shepherd was sharing with me bout testimony that day. Then my task is to write a testimonial of my own to share with others. Here it goes... Should i start from my childhood? or teenage years? may be childhood is a better choice. i can remember how daddy and mommy would bring me and er jie to church when we're still very young and ask us to read bible everyday before we sleep. there was a period of time when daddy came up with this idea--sing a children worship song and record it using the old cassette player before we sleep. i love that a lot! i would make daddy go up with me to record or else, i would record on my own and then only i'll sleep... that went on for sometime. i did that out of fun and only for fun! for me, God is still not that real. i didn't really know who he is. to me, he's just a person who daddy told me to believe in, who's the true and living God. but deep down in my heart, i just don't quite understand bout that, can't get the true m...

Law One God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life. ~God's love~ "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16) ~God's plan~ "I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly" (that it might be full and meaningful) ( john 10:10b) *here come the question: but why man people don't experience abundant life? Law Two Man is sinful and separated from God, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life. ~Man is sinful~ "For all have sin and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23) Man is created to have fellowship with God; but because os His stubborn self-will, he choose to go on his own independent way and fellowship with God was broken. This self-will, characterised by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is evidence of what the...
