THOUGHT OF THE DAY:

Each and every moment of our time and day, our only Main task is to focus on what we are seeing, how we are talking, when we are doing and why we are thinking? Our thoughts, words, emotions and actions are been measured 24/7. It's been recorded in heaven's book. We must be thoughtful in everything we contribute. An Angel of the Lord who is with us keeps giving an account of our life to the Lord. Even our spirituality and our act of devotion before people as well as when we are lonely, it's been proof-read whether it's in Truth and Spirit or it's just a fake mask we wear before people.

 WORD OF THE DAY:

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it is necessary and a Must for us to accept that we are born of sin and we are sinners. But our Repentance must be thoughtfully done in Truth... Especially our prayers and devotion must carry a Meaning and Purpose. A Meaning where we really Repent ourselves and beautify our character with the Fruit Of The Spirit. Where a purpos leads us to Listen to God, when He deeply vacuum cleans us and cuts and bandages our sinful nature. God expects a True Repentance, a repentance where the Holy Spirit itself helps us create a new Fruit in us. We can deceive people, especially those who are leaders above us, or our parents or pastors... But we cannot deceive our God. God expects a True Repentance with Right Fruit.

INTROSPECTING TIME:

1. How shall I truly Repent?

2. How shall I produce right Fruit?

3. How shall I balance my spiritual self and social life?

4. Am I joking with my life?

5. How can I please God through my Life? 

6. Am I Living a fake christian life?

 WORD OF PRAYER:

Dear Lord, we believe that you are tuning us into your perfection and mending us in your furnace. Polish us and cut off all the rough edges by shaping us through your Word and Spirit. Help us O Lord, to live a life which is pleasing to you. May we produce Right Fruits. And may our Repentance be true and transparent towards you. May your Holy Spirit work in us, In Jesus's name we ask in Faith.

Amen
