Daily Grace for you and me

Okay, so from now on I will be updating this blog not only with things about me and the world but most specially I want to use this to bless people through the word of God.

I subscribed to the mailing list of Daily Grace Inspirations From Joseph Prince Ministries‏ where I originally just a fan in Facebook. What I like about Daily Grace is that the messages are brief but strong. I can read it many times and cry with it many times too as I try to understand the message that hits me inside out.
If you also want to be part of this and receive a daily e-mail you may subscribe through this link,

Or become a Facebook follower, Joseph Prince Ministries.

I encourage you to join as it will help develop the faith in you. In won't hurt, it will instead draw you closer to your God.

Below is the message from yesterday,

Matthew 6:33



33… seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.


God doesn’t want you grabbing the newspaper first thing in the morning and reading all the bad news in the world. He knows that if you do that, your heart will be full of cares, anxieties and even fears.


This happened to a mother who read in the newspaper that children from China studying in our local schools were becoming top students. She wrote to the press, voicing her concerns about the stiff competition her child would face from these students, even for the top jobs in Singapore in the future.


When you are reading the newspapers, magazines, medical journals, economic reports, watching movies or surfing the Internet all the time, then you are getting your “nourishment” from these sources instead of God’s Word. Now, I am not against these things. But if you constantly feed only on earthly things which cannot satisfy, you will fill your heart and mind with cares and worries.


Jesus doesn’t want you to end up worrying about your life — what you will eat, drink or wear — as these are the things that the Gentiles (people of the world) seek. He says that your heavenly Father knows very well that you need these things. (Matthew 6:31–32)

That is why He promises you that if you would seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, all these things that the world seeks after will be added to you. It will not just be given but added, which means greater in quantity and quality!


If you are broke, don’t pursue money. Pursue God your prosperity. If you are faced with lack, don’t pursue material goods. Pursue God your provider. If you are sick, don’t pursue the “cure”. Pursue God your healer.
My friend, don’t grab the newspaper or call your friend first thing in the morning to talk about the latest bad news. Instead, grab your Bible and read all the good news God has for you for the day. And as you seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, all the things that the world is running after will be added to you!
