Answered Prayer men!

"For I testify that they gave as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely,on their other own,they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints"  -2 Corinthians 8:3-4


hello people of this blog world! i'm so happy today!! i'll tell it later on as you continue reading. above verse was my devotion yesterday. and it truly manifest that we must really excel not just in faith, in speech,  in knowledge and in complete earnestness in love for God's people but also in grace of giving. really it struck my heart!  don't you realize, we keep on asking God  that "Lord i want that, Lord i want those" yet we still have nothing in return? yes, it also happens to me but God made me realize things in terms of receiving and giving. Yesterday my devotion was all about giving and the service of God's people.

God loves a cheerful giver and indeed it is true. we can't deny that sometimes we give with a feeling of being responsible or committed but it says in 2 Corinthians 9: 6-9  that if we give generously we also receive generously from God and Honestly we are the one who blocks our blessings out of our way. WHAAATT? is it true? yes it is true. and here is my story for this day.

I started this week with a great prayer (that was yesterday) and a good devotion. i know it is not Good to test God but i prayed "Lord I know you are God of Provision, Lord I also know that it is not Good to test you except from one thing. you said in Malachi that if we give our tithe, you will Shower us blessings.Lord I invested and you said too that what you reap is what you sow. Lord yesterday while i'm walking i closed a deal with you that before or on Wednesday if you give my tuition fee i will be fully committed" yes, i test God and i'm desperate.

this day i woke up and prayed unto God thanking him that i'm still alive. that prayer was short actually. i don't even got up in my bed. we have prayer walk at 9:00. i came late but I and Darlene can't do it easily. We thought that kuya Jepoy and ate Tin( our churchmates studying at the same school with us) are already there but unfortunately not. Ate Shobe our Gorgeous network leader told us to go on by ourselves but we can't! i am just a post-encounter Graduate and Darlene an Encounter graduate(how dramatic I was?!). we are undergoing PEPSOL Training. Darlene said "ayoko ng ganyan" we really wait for kuya Jepoy and do prayer walk. O God! I though it is small University after all but Lord kill me it has a lot of stairs but thank God after that long walk we prayed in tan yan kee garden. God was so thoughtful! he whispered i felt the air so soothing. after that Walk again. if I can only define U-belt it was endless walking place. we go to Mc Donald's and Shocks! nevermind :P when we got there my leader Venisse and I leave. we still have Consolidation. ohh.. i Love Czar. she's really lovely with her tucked top.

to make the story short this day was so exhausting. i got home at 4 pm without any person in our house and i was completely stunned. yes i can pray as loud as i want! i told God everything happens and shame on me,  i almost slept while listening to christian Song.  i rest some for i totally knew i was too weary. until my papa came. i just watch Television until mama call saying that tell papa leave my enrollment fee. stunned, shocked, astonished whatever you may call it i felt it! my father left so fast after ironing his shirt telling me that the money was in his wallet. when he left i check it out and boom! look at that i cried and keep on saying thank you lord. but i was thinking i asked it to God and remembered that I claim before  that before april ends i will be enrolled but why why late for 8 days and i wonder. i check my devotions and checked how many missed devotions i didn't made and amazingly it was 8!

I was the one who delayed my blessing.  same to you. God can't resist his children. we are irresistible in God's eyes. we prayed plus claim it equals total assurance of blessings.

maybe i write too much but let me end with this. we are the only reason in every deed we do. whatever we do, it is all because of you. are you ready to give to receive? to sow to reap? good luck blog people!! God loves us!
