study on gentleness

Gentle (accd to longman dictinary)
kind and careful in the way you behave or do things, so that you do not hurt or damage anyone or anything

Eph 4:2
with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,

Philippians 4:4-6

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

1 Timothy 3:2-4

2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; 3 not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money,[a] but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; 4 one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence


1 Timothy 6:10-12
10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

11 But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

Titus 3:2
2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.


James 3:17

17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.


1 Peter 3:3-5

3 Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— 4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. 5 For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands,


how can we be gentle? only by the power of god changing us from the inside out. what a wretched man i am! what i want to do, i do not do but i do not want to do, i do.

lord, teach me to be gentle like you. you are the almighty god yet you are the shepherd who gently leads us by your hand. teach me to be gentle like you.

to be strong and gentle.

only you can change me. help me to see people through your eyes. let me relate with people with your wisdom. your wisdom from heaven if full of love and gentleness.

let the strength in me be accompanied by gentleness too.

let me be like you and allow me to glorify you.

i am sorry for having tarnised your name with harsh words and attitude. change me dear lord in the way that only you can.

i pray for the blood of christ to cover my family that all of them will recover from their illnesses. i pray for complete healing and that jesus will make them whole once again.

i pray for harmony to reside in the families. let the families be places of joy and peace.

thank you for loving us and not giving up on us dear lord.

we are your good works in progress.

till i see you in heaven.

the spirit is always more important than the mind.

remember my dream of the child at the funeral?

amen

acts 2

acts 2
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
And they shall prophesy.
19 I will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath:
Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.
21 And it shall come to pass
That whoever calls on the name of the LORD
Shall be saved.’[b]

prayers for family

the many things of the world distract us.

lord i pray for puay hong that his heart and mind will be fixed on you.

let him be consumed by the pursuit of god and his kingdom. bring him to a point where he fully understands and believes that the pursuit of the fulfillment of his ego is futile and meaningless.

i pray that god will cause him to raise him to be the spiritual leader that he has been called in the family. i pray that his influence over the children will increase in godly measures.

cause his heart to resurrect and to be able to feel the emotions of ppl around him. teach him to come along side people who hurt and cry and to be able to put an arm around them and lift them up.

not shunning away but reaching out in love.

he has been living in a shell of his own. managing tasks but unable to reach out in love and understanding.

i pray that the holy spirit will resurrect him in love. to only way to ministry is trhough love.

touch ppl through love.

first love god. i pray for revival to take place in ph's life. let the currents of love flow out.

i pray for josef that he will learn the value of determination and discipline through his camp. holy spirit, give this boy wisdom on the way he should lead his life. cause him to understand what he wants and to pursue the goals with single minded focus.

he is attending the track and field training soon. i pray you will use the cca to teach him too the value of discipline and focus.

lord as you cause the flower to blossom, i pray that you will cause josef to blossom into a disciplined and motivated teen who knows his goals and destiny in christ jesus.

let him know you and be known by you. let his life be centred on christ.

even as he prepares for psle, i pray that god will be at the centre of his life. may josef understand that the horse is made ready for battle but victory belongs to the lord.

may josef say as david did, 'i go to battle in the name of the lord". i pray that josef will know what it means to rely on god and i pray that god may use me and ph to show him. let us show with our lives the reliance of god in our lives.

i pray that the angels of god will keep josef safe even as he goes to camp these 3 days. keep him in the shelter of the most high.

i pray for deborah that she will continue to see jesus working in her life and loving her.

thank you lord that she dreams of you. you appear to the young in dreams and visions and this has happened to debboora.

i pray that you grant her wisdom on how to use her words in kindness and grace. teach her to consider other people's feelings and needs, not only her own.

give her a desire to study and to do it well.

give a her a motivation to learn well, in her swimming art speech and drama and akido class.

may these skills be useful in her life

lord give ph and i wisdom on which pri sch to place her in. a branded sch or the one beside our house

our inclination is to put her in the neighbourhood school. show us if this is a wise and best choice for deborah.

lead her to the best pastures dear lord.

i pray for matthias that he will experience the love of god at a young age and even know him at this young age. may the lord prepare this young boy to know god and to be known by him.

he has been praying to god. praise the lord. let these prayers be enlarged into prayers of praise and worship of the lord. reveal yourself to him that he may know you.

as he goes to school, use the ppl around him to teach him many things. let his mind spirit and body grow in the wisdom and favour of god and ppl around him.

i pray for my sis mum and dad that they will live in the peace and love of god. let there be a peace that transcend all understanding. where communciation has broken down, i ask the lord to restore it. where faith has collapsed, i pray for the mustard seed to grow.

lead my sister back to the fellowship of the believeres. a twig cannot burn alone. i pray that you will lead her back. use ph and me.

let there be prayer and fellowship among the family members and let it begin with me. enable me lord to lead the family in prayer sharing and edification.

i love you lord and in your hands i dedicate my family members. your hands is the best place to be in.

i give myself to you and i trust that you know what is best for me and my needs. you are my heavenly father who has captured my heart. i live for you.

make my life count for you. even as you have given up your life to me, i want to give my all to you.

live through me that i may live out the task of loving other and being a witness to you in this life.

not by my strength but by the power of the lord this will take place.

amen

our family god's city

We have a strong city;
God will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks.
2 Open the gates,
That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.
3 You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
4 Trust in the LORD forever,
For in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength.[a]


the above is the analogy of my family.

i pray that my family (which includes my biological family) will be a strong city and salvation will be the walls.

i pray that the families will open the gates and righteousness and truth may be poured into the hearts of ph josef matthias debbie sis mum dad and grandma.

may the unsaved by drawn to the truth as well.

i pray the all children of god will set their minds on god and as a result, be kept in the perfect peace of god.

teach each of us to trust you because you are yah - the lord-. teach us to trust in you in all areas of our lives.

may your strength be manifested in our lives. may we experience the strength of the lord.

amnen.
