How To Thrive Not Just Survive


This message was delivered by Pastor Teofilito A. Rufon during the Thanksgiving Service and Joint Fellowship of Baptist Men and Women held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Warly Fran for the abundant blessings God has provided to their family.

1. Rise Thankfully - "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord."( Psalm 92:1). Thanks should be on our lips daily. Start each day by giving thanks. The roof in our house, the food, clothing and shelter, all of these should be thanked of to God.

2. Pray Expectantly - "Be careful for nothing. But in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God." (Philippians 4:6). We all have worries in our home, jobs and relationships. But Paul's advice is to turn your worries into prayers. If you want to worry less, then, pray more! Whenever you start to worry, stop and pray!

3. Think Positively - "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report; if there be any virtue, praise, think on these things." (Philippians 4:8). What we put into our minds determines what comes out in our words and actions.

4. Forgive Quickly - "Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye." (Colossians 3:13).

5. Work Worshipfully - "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord." (Colossians 3:17). As a Christian we represent Christ all the time. Do everything in the name of the Lord.
