TWO MINUTE SPIRITUAL DEVOTION:

Acts 1:8 NIV -

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my Witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

Reflection:

What role does the Holy Spirit play when I determine my priorities?

Answer: The Holy Spirit is the one who is sent by God to each believers. In "Tagalog's Lay Man Term", they called it 'Kunsensya'. But in Christian's theology, it is one of the Three Persons of God. Holy Spirit is also a God, such as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, when we mention these in our prayers. Holy Spirit is active in us if we are true believers of Christ. The manifestation of Holy Spirit is in us if we are following Christ or God's word. We can do that by obeying God's word in reading the Bible, attending fellowships or church service.

What am I pursuing in life? Is it God's agenda, or my own which is to acquire more money or material things?

Answer: We should pursue in life the God's mission agenda. If we are pursuing our own like acquiring more money or material things, then we would not inherit the Kingdom of God.

What should my attitude be when I face obstacles in pursuing my priorities?

Answer: First of all, I should take a deep breath and release the negative anxieties when I exhale. And then, I would pray earnestly to God for help. I would call my friends or family for spiritual support.

Action Point:

1. God gave me the mission to help people know Him and have a relationship with Him. I will thank God for giving me the power to do so through the Holy Spirit.

2. Though I may face inevitable challenges or Problems, various ''IDOLS" in my life like greed, covetousness, and love for money.

3. I shall rely on the Holy Spirit to help my PRIORITIZE God's will and agenda above mine, which is to fulfill the mission He gave me.

4. And I will continue to PERSEVERE, for His Spirit will make me faithful to the end.

5. By the Power of the Holy Spirit, I will pursue God's mission for me! I will put God first!

Blessed Monday!
