Yessir!

When God says so, do so.

I am a stone-head. If you could have any other superlative for hard-headed, please tag it to me. I never wanted to yield. When some rules are implemented, I always want to go against it because I don't want to go with where people are. I always wanted to be in white when everybody are in black. No dictation.

God has told me to surrender "what-I-want-to-hold-back" back then. I tried to ignore the red flags and went head on. Consequences reaped. I don't want it to happen ever again.

So, how do you follow what God says? When we don't do what we know we should do is the greatest tragedy. What's the sense of spending time in God's word listening to Him when after listening we won't do what He says.

First, humble ourselves to God that we cannot do it on our own. Great news is that His grace is available and is perfect and sufficient for us.

Next, repent and break off from the bondages that you were in by rebuking the spirits you believed that weren't true.

Follow Jesus completely. Know His truth and spend more time with Him because He is the Truth so that when the lies of satan comes knocking, you will not fall into his lies. Don't entertain his lies by filtering what you input in your mind, eyes and ears.

Pray. Know that you're always in His presence. That even when I'll be with Jesus alone forever, I would rather choose it than be with my dream and know that God is grieving. Oplan: Make Him Smile

Say no to sin. Say Yes to Jesus! Moment by Moment Surrender.




In His Pursuit,
Michelle Aquino

2021 Here We Are

I can compare my year with the Philippine Stock Exchange Index 2020. And I reallyjust want to get those candles up by being intimate with my relationship with Jesus.  I actually do not know if it is just me or I really matured this year. FINALLY MY PREFRONTAL CORTEX GOT DEVELOPED. Financially supporting my family even though they did not ask for it, managing the household while working online and battling my own life. I have actually shared some of those things in this blog this year. And as we fold the last day of this year, I just want to say that I am thankful to my King Jesus. If it haven’t been by Your grace, I do not know where I would be.  Salute to You, My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 2021 is Yours. I am all Yours.  Michelle Aquino Because I do not know what photo to share, would love to share this letter from my mom in our summit 2019.

Consistency

  This would be how I would look like if asked what I would say to my younger self. Adding, I hope you obey God’s no consistently because it won’t get any easy as you get older.  Sometimes, because we know that God is Gracious, we would already spend our lives in the way we want it to go knowing that God forgives and He rescues. But as what we have been repeating in this blog, we cannot escape the unnecessary pains that we could have missed if we just chose to yield to the Holy Spirit’s leading. Consistency in your love for Jesus is difficult. A one-time high or a seasonal-high in basketball won’t give you the championship. It will just win you games but the goal is to not just win games, the goal is your whole self experiencing Christ and being transformed into His image.  I learned about myself that whenever I feel like I’ve had enough of God for the day, I would stop being in His presence and will just do my thing. I make Him a to-do list that after talking to Him for ...

Bitter or Better

Practice doesn’t make perfect… in relationships. I think every single person who has fallen to the trap of satan (I intended not to make it capital letter) that we have to try things to know what we can improve on in the future, which gives away part of us in waste in the process. All the people who have fallen to the trap would say “uhhh how I wish I could go back in that time and yell at my younger self and say, stop it, Michelle Aquino, just stop.” When we aren’t convinced of God’s goodness, we will not follow His design. When we don’t trust God’s goodness, we won’t listen to His instructions. When we doubt that all He wants for us is the best, we will not obey Him and thus suffer unnecessary pains. We are free to choose, but we cannot escape the consequences of our actions. In lawn tennis, volleyball or any other sport that gives the opponent the score when we make a mistake, they would always say, go for the next point. When we sin, humble ourselves, admit that we’ve sinned,...
