Hello, this is Philip Mantofa

BLESSINGS ARE PLACED UPON OUR KNEES, NOT UPON OUR WORKSManna is the miraculous food that God provided for the Israelites for 40 years in wilderness before they entered Canaan. God promised and provided, but they did not recognize His blessings. So, the teaching of His words are necessary for us to be able to identify His provisions, then we can appreciate and manage them. God’s inclusion is often left unnoticed by our eyes because it is sometimes too small, too subtle, and too coincidental. The pure blessing that is given off of God’s will and love is provided in the morning

Arrogance and pride are God’s enemies, but humility is the beginning of glory. There is problem that will force even the most powerful and influential person to kneel before Jesus. Let the problem guide us to kneel down before Him and seek His face. Naaman was a respected commander. To others, Naaman surely looked honorable outwardly, but when he went home and opened his armor, he was a leper inside. Everyone has his own problem, including people we admire. Do not give up when we have problem, stop comparing ourselves with others and getting frustrated. The young girl in 2 Kings 5:2-3

PRAISE THE LORD IN PUBLICRighteous people are redeemed by the LORD. We have to learn to praise the LORD in public places, to express it even though we have an ordinary voice. We have to praise the LORD frequently, and do not give up church gatherings. It’s true we can worship the LORD individually, yet it can’t replace the benefit of praising and worshiping together with our fellow believers. PRAISE THE LORD IN PRIVATEWhen we praise the LORD, our problems seem smaller and lighter, because we exalt the LORD. What we repeatedly echo with our mouth will echo in our soul.

Circumstance is just a canvas. What’s painted on it depends on our heart’s attitude and our life’s principles. Don't be afraid of change. If God allows change, it is for good. The world is always changing, but the righteous people will not waver. Whatever we face, we can adapt and find God’s purpose and plan. In every change, there is a blessing prepared by God for believers who can grasp the guidance of the Word. The best way to find blessings in change starts from an intimacy with God. Following God must be with a calm heart and a calm soul,
