Kadali ra jud noh? Our church conducts camp meetings twice a year. It seemed just a month after the former camp. But the truth is, it has been, i guess 6 months ago. Time is really running quiet so fast.
A camp meeting is done in our church to revive the draining ones, to save the unsaved, to find the lost, to make whole the broken, heal the sick and most specially to Glorify the Almighty Father. Because if not for Him, we wouln't be able to provide everything that's needed to make this event successful.
In fact, last Friday, we had our general over-night prayer meeting. General, because almost all of the workers in the church joined the said prayer meeting. Thanks to Him who was responsible for everything that happened that night. His Spirit moved greatly during that night. God really blessed that night.
We've been through a lot of preparations, from the physical to the very most important part of being a Christian, the spiritual part. And so far, God is still doing great.
In conducting such events, the Host must always be ready. Ready to face a battle and ready to get hurt in a battle. And of course, it wouldn't be easy to conduct such an event, but for God, everything is possible. Our sole sponsor for every event we do is no other than God alone.. We cannot expect any support from anyone or from someone but from God alone.
No wonder, every celebration we do, every activity we conduct and every thing we make is sucessfully done because the One that supports us is the One who owns everything, as in ALL.. The God of all things showers us blessings everytime we pray for it. Prayers mean a lot. God provides all our needs everytime we pray.
This coming Oct.29, I am inviting everyone who has read this post, to join our Spirit-filled camp meeting.
Wherein God can freely move in our lives and wherein He can transform us into someone we never expected to be. It is a 4-day camp meeting. This will be held at LDHMF Soong Mission Center, Soong Lapu-lapu City.
See you there, let's all be filled with the Holy Spirit and be blessed.
Godbless us all.. God deserves all the glory and honor...
Keep up the good work guys!!
God really is blessing the church with a lot of talents and assets. Indeed these men above are just some of the blessings God has showered upon our church. They did great in the works of God and they're gonna do more greater things because God is still blessing them. All glory and honor is for God alone.
Youth Of The Ministry
It's so nice to see my friends here.. It was taken during a youth fellowship and unfortunately i wasn't there. I just grabbed this picture from a friend. Thanks to her i got a copy of this one in a million shot..
On the counter of your untamed guilt
And you keep paying out from your empty purse
Until you feel you've satisfied your curse
No one here is throwing stones
But you have got to drop your own
Forgive yourself, forgive yourself
Anyone who bears a scar wants to forget it
Forgive yourself, forgive yourself
Nothing ever frees you more than just believing
That you've been forgiven
Come out of the prison
Can you tell me how you spend everyday
Facing in the mirror of your shame
Staring like a judge, you are ruling for yourself
You tied a stone around your neck
Drowning in a past regret
Don't believe it's okay to be like this
Don't believe you deserve to live like this
'Coz every part of you wants to know
Just one reason why you should let go....
After having been born again, after one's spirit has been indwelt by the Holy Spirit, after having been baptized by the Holy Ghost, one's life is about to begin a new beginning. As a young Christian, one must wait for a certain time for him to grow. Like a butterfly, a new life cycle is about to take place.
It takes time to grow. If the silk of the cocoon that wraps the young butterfly while waiting for its time to fly is forcedly peeled off, or if the young butterfly inside the cocoon is taken away while its time has not come yet, it will only kill the butterfly and waste the beauty that's waiting to unravel.
But it really pays to be patient. Believing that the right time will come, learning that everything has to undergo a process will teach one to be patient.
Everything is set with a purpose. While the time has not come yet for a butterfly to fly, the purpose is to make it ready and equipped, as well as a young Christian, he must wait his time to grow. And when he is fully grown and ready and equipped, he must go and fulfill the scripture saying, "And as you go, preach, saying, 'the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons, freely you have received, freely give." (Matthew10:7-8)
One must be strong in facing his life. There's always time for everything. A right time will always come.
Though time's getting tougher and harder, there is a God. A God who has everything in control. A God who always searches deeper things than a naked eye can find. A God always ready to love your worst, and a God who can make a gold out of a miry clay.
He never stops watching over all of us. He sees our griefs, catches our tears, and even carries us when everything's getting too hard.
Is there anything too hard for the Lord? Absolutely, nothing's impossible to Him. He knows everything. Man's insensitivity and unbelief may be the reason why God seem to be absent in their lives. God is searching for a heart that's desperately seeking for His help. I mean, if only everybody's seeking God with all they can and with everything they have, will it be to hard for Him to do miracles in one's life? In fact, it took me so long to have myself a sacrifice, meaning, offering everything I do to Him, as in all, everything.
Let me tell you this, there was once in my life I thought I'll never change. I thought, I can't get through it. I always thought that "what I was is what I will be forever." Though I wanted to change, life without a God is too difficult. I kept struggling to get something I want. I worked hard to please them that feed me, to have good grades and of course to have myself a good life. Those reasons why I struggled so hard may be the noblest in my entire life.
But everything suddenly changed when a great man I once knew came. His name is Jesus. I knew Him through lectures but not as much as I know Him as I take closer walks with Him. He did great things and still He's doing great. I never imagined this kind of life. I wished for this but I did not know that it will come to reality. Nothing really is impossible to God. In Him, amazing becomes ordinary, and with Him, mercy overflows.
Life without Jesus is really not life. You live because you breathe. You live because you eat. And certainly, you live because you are in this world. But the question is that is the real man within you alive? You only can breakthrough this world and beyond that, there's nothing. Nothing but just a hardly-struggled life.
Some say, only those who are rich has the capacity to live life abundantly. But the book of Isaiah 61:1-2 clearly stresses out that, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me (Jesus), because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn."
Isn't it great to know that a God came for me? for us? Isn't it great to know that we are secured in the name of Jesus? Jesus came for us, to free us from the bondage of sin and of death. Is it really hard to accept Him. What I mean is that, making Him as your personal God of salvation, the Lord of your life and your Father. Is it that hard to confess with your heart that Jesus is Lord, that life is nothing without Him?
If all the miseries of life makes it too hard to accept God, then I would tell you, God is greater than all of those miseries. Jesus said, "Come to me all you who labor and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matt. 11:28) This rest is greater than a day-off from a job and even greater than a week leave.
Christ, the giver of life, never stop loving us. We are always in His heart. He came to have us a life that's abundantly lived. Why would you think of all the sufferings you encounter? You alone can't take all of them away. Our strength is not enough to battle every circumstance we face.
Yes, life is too hard. Too hard for those who think it is. But in Christ Jesus, everything's possible. Life in Christ Jesus is like being in an eye of a storm. The world around you is trembling down while you are at peace. That's how great our God is.
Why would you hesitate believing that there is a God that is able to take away miseries from our lives. Offer everything to Him. Every pain you bear, every shame you have, every sorrow you feel and every sickness you have will become nothing if you just believe that Christ is able to take away all of them.
Trust Him. Give Him your life, your everything, and all you desire will be in your hands. Offer Him all that you can be. None will you lose if you just try it. He is a God of chances. If you think you had become the worst, try changing it, offer it to Him. And you'll see how you'll become after you put your trust on Him.
Would you believe after all we’ve projected
A child in a manger
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mothers shawl
Just a child
Is this who we’ve waited for?
Cause how many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Bringing our gifts for the newborn savior
All that we have whether costly or meek
Because we believe
Gold for his honor and frankincense for his pleasure
And myrrh for the cross he’ll suffer
Do you believe, is this who we’ve waited for?
(It’s who we’ve waited for)
How many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Only one did that for me
All for me
All for you
All for me
All for you
