Love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength as Jesus commanded. When you are ALL FOR JESUS, He can do immeasurably more than you can imagine!

Do you find yourself gripped by fear or anxiety when thinking about the future? In this encouraging message, Bishop Jimmy Evangelista reminds us of the God who not only knows our future but holds it securely in His hands.

Drawing from Ecclesiastes 7:14 and 8:7, Bishop Evangelista acknowledges the human inability to discover what lies ahead. However, he shares four powerful truths about God and the future that should fill our hearts with confidence:

God Knows Everything (Hebrews 4:13) As the eternal, everlasting God, He is not limited by time or history. He sees the future of your life and all of mankind with perfect clarity.
God Has a Plan (Jeremiah 29:11, Acts 13:36) While we can miss God's plan, He has an ordained purpose and promising future prepared for those who seek Him. His peace rules as our guide.
God Is With You (Hebrews 13:5, Matthew 28:20) No matter what the future holds, we never face it alone. The faithful God has promised His continual presence every step of the way.
God Keeps His Promises (Psalm 145:13, Hebrews 10:23) As the "Promise Keeper," we can trust God to do exactly what He has said regarding our lives and futures.

With convicting testimony and insightful scriptural truth, Bishop Jimmy Evangelista calls us to entrust our tomorrows to the God who not only knows the future but holds it firmly in His mighty, loving hands. Let this message fill you with peace and confidence as you face the future secure in God's perfect plan.

On this Easter Sunday, Pastora Susan Evangelista powerfully proclaims the significance of Jesus' resurrection from John 11:25-26 - "I am the resurrection and the life." This foundational truth has profound implications for believers:

The Resurrection Guarantees Our Salvation (Matthew 28:1-8) Through Christ's victory over death, we are assured of eternal life. While unbelievers face the second death, believers experience true, resurrected life.
The Resurrection Validates Our Faith (John 20:19-29) Like Thomas, we can have confidence that Jesus is the risen Lord, the object of our faith.
The Resurrection Ensures Our Hope (John 21, 2 Timothy 2:13) No matter our failures or circumstances, the resurrection gives us lasting hope to face tomorrow, for one day we will see Jesus face to face (1 John 3:2).

Yet, as 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 reminds us, we are fragile jars of clay carrying this magnificent treasure - the resurrection power of Christ. Though hard-pressed, perplexed, persecuted, and struck down, we are never crushed, in despair, abandoned or destroyed.

Why? Because the all-surpassing power at work within us is from God Himself through the resurrection life of Jesus Christ! On this Easter, let us embrace afresh the power and implications of Christ's resurrection for our salvation, faith, and hope.

Don't give up! Christ is risen, and the life that is in Him is an unquenchable, resurrection life available to all believers.

In this powerful message, Rev. Aly Khan Armamento challenges the new generation of believers to embrace their season and do greater things for God's Kingdom.

Drawing from his own transformed life story, he shares how God has an amazing plan for each person, regardless of their background. Rev. Armamento unpacks John 14:12, where Jesus promises that those who believe in Him will do even greater works. He rallies the youth to have faith that this is their new season to experience God's power and accomplish extraordinary things in every area of their lives - ministry, work, school and more. With biblical examples and a passionate exhortation, this message will stir up vision and expectation in the listener for what God wants to do through the emerging generation.

In this profound message titled "The Message of the Cross", Bishop Jimmy Evangelista unveils the transformative power that resides in the cross of Jesus Christ. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 1:18, he expounds on the seeming foolishness of the cross to the world, yet its immense power for those being saved.

Bishop Evangelista highlights two symbols that define Christianity - the empty cross and the empty tomb. The cross signifies that "It is finished", representing Christ's redemption for our sins through His death. The empty tomb declares His resurrection, conquering death itself.

The heart of the message centers on the power of God available to believers through the cross:

Redemption from Sin (2 Corinthians 5:21) Christ took our sin upon Himself, making us the righteousness of God.
Substitution from the Curse (2 Corinthians 8:9, Deuteronomy 8:18) Jesus bore poverty so we could become rich, giving us the power to obtain wealth and break generational curses.
Eternal Life (Romans 6:23, Luke 10:20) Accepting Christ grants eternal life and assurance of our names written in heaven.
Power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8, Genesis 1:26-28) The Holy Spirit empowers us as witnesses and restores our dominion over creation.
Power of the Tongue (Psalms 103:5, Proverbs 18:21) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, allowing us to speak blessings.
Authority over the Enemy (Luke 10:19, Mark 16:17-18) Believers have power to trample over the enemy, heal the sick, and cast out demons.

Bishop Evangelista proclaims that signs, wonders, and miracles follow the power of God residing in believers through the cross. Join us as we embrace this life-changing truth and experience the fullness of God's power made available through the message of the cross.

In this powerful message, Pastor Tim Lester Crisostomo exhorts believers to fix their eyes on Jesus in every aspect of their lives. Drawing from Hebrews 12:1-3 and other scripture passages, he outlines five crucial areas where we must keep our focus on Christ:

Fix your eyes on Jesus in your offering (Matthew 19:21) Pastor Tim reminds us to have an eternal perspective when it comes to our possessions and resources. We are called to be generous givers, storing up treasures in heaven by fixing our eyes on Jesus.
Fix your eyes on Jesus in your service (Colossians 3:23-24)
Our service and labor should be done wholeheartedly unto the Lord, not for human approval. By fixing our eyes on Jesus, we can serve with the right motives and find true reward.
Fix your eyes on Jesus in your actions (Romans 3:10-12) We are called to live righteously, but true righteousness comes only by fixing our eyes on Jesus, the perfect example and source of godly living.
Fix your eyes on Jesus during testing (James 1:2-3) Trials and difficulties are inevitable, but when we fix our eyes on Jesus, the testing of our faith produces perseverance and spiritual maturity.
Fix your eyes on Jesus when you're blessed (Jeremiah 9:23) Whether in times of abundance or lack, we must resist the temptation of boasting in our own wisdom, might, or riches. True blessing comes from fixing our eyes on Jesus alone.

With powerful scripture references and practical application, Pastor Tim Lester Crisostomo calls believers to a life of unwavering focus on Christ. Join us as we are challenged to fix our eyes on Jesus in every circumstance, allowing Him to be the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.

In this empowering preaching titled "Focus and Conquer Your Biggest Dream," Bishop Jimmy Evangelista encourages believers to pursue their God-given dreams with unwavering focus and determination. Drawing inspiration from Joshua 1:16-17 and Romans 8:36-37, he highlights five key points:

𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥 - Bishop Evangelista urges believers to have a clear, single goal for their dreams, just as the Israelites committed to obey Joshua wholeheartedly. He emphasizes the importance of forgetting the past and straining towards what lies ahead (Philippians 3:13).
𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 - Quoting Joshua 1:7, he warns against turning to the right or left, allowing distractions to derail the pursuit of God's will and permissive will for our lives.
𝐃𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 - Drawing from James 4:7-8, Bishop Evangelista advocates for dedicating oneself wholeheartedly to one goal at a time, resisting the temptation of being double-minded.
𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞, 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 - He encourages believers to visualize their dreams, write them down, and patiently wait for God's timing, just as farmers wait for the harvest (James 5:7).
𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩 𝐀𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 - Bishop Evangelista reminds us that growth and the development of abilities come through our secret place of prayer, faith, and obedience to God's Word, citing the example of Abraham (Romans 4:17-18).

With a powerful call to be more than conquerors through Christ (Romans 8:37), Bishop Jimmy Evangelista inspires believers to focus on their biggest dreams, overcome distractions, and pursue their God-given visions with unwavering faith and perseverance.

Join us as we are equipped to conquer our dreams, develop strong leadership, become people of faith, and turn our weaknesses into strengths through the empowering message of God's Word.

In this powerful message titled "Finish Strong," Bishop Jimmy Evangelista encourages believers to run the race of faith with perseverance and endurance until the very end. Drawing from 2 Timothy 4:1-8, he highlights three key aspects of finishing strong:

The Charge to Finish Strong (verses 1-2) Bishop Evangelista reminds us that we are charged before God to preach His Word faithfully, whether in season or out of season. We must run with the message convincingly, correctly, and steadily.
The Challenge to Finish Strong (verses 3-5) He warns of the challenging times ahead when people will turn away from sound doctrine and embrace fables. We must endure afflictions, stay watchful, and fulfill our ministry, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus.
The Choice to Finish Strong (verses 7-8) Bishop Evangelista exhorts us to choose to fight the good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith. We must look beyond the finish line to the crown of righteousness awaiting those who persevere until the end.

With biblical insight and passionate exhortation, Bishop Jimmy Evangelista calls believers to embrace the mindset of a soldier, athlete, and hardworking farmer (2 Timothy 2:3-6). We are urged to finish strong, keeping our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-2).

Join us as we are inspired to run the race set before us with endurance, fixing our gaze on the eternal reward that awaits those who finish strong.

Welcome to today's podcast where we'll be looking at Bishop Jimmy Evangelista's preaching - "Ang Kagandahang Loob" based on 2 Samuel 9:1-13. This passage shows us the kindness and grace that King David extended to Mephibosheth, the disabled grandson of his predecessor King Saul.

Bishop Evangelista highlights three important ways David demonstrated God's kindness:

First, David treated Mephibosheth graciously even though he was from the family of Saul who had tried to kill David. This mirrors how God shows kindness to us even when we are His enemies.

Second, David called Mephibosheth by name, personally inviting him to receive his kindness and grace. This reminds us of how Jesus calls each of us by name, desiring a personal relationship with us.

Third, David promised to provide for Mephibosheth continually, giving him land, food, and a place at the king's table. This reflects how God not only pardons our past but also empowers our present and preserves us for the future.

The kindness of David points us to the even greater kindness and grace of God. I hope you'll join me in reflecting on how we can respond to God's offer of salvation and enjoy fellowship with Him.

Get ready to be stirred and equipped as she unpacks how to unleash spiritual power through declaring biblical truth.

Declaring God's Word unleashes power. As we align our words with Scripture, we release His promises into our lives.

We Need Encouragement

Words affect us deeply. Destructive words tear down, but God's Word builds up (Prov 15:1-4)
God created the world by declaring it into being (Gen 1:3, 6, 9, 11)

We Must Receive God's Language

The Bible contains the best declarations. We must read and speak Scripture (Matt 21:19)
Memorizing verses helps us declare God's truths

We Must Make Prophetic Decrees

What we profess, we possess. Declare God's blessings over your life.
Speak desired futures into existence, based on God's Word (Prov 18:21)
Declare boldly like Elijah did

In closing, declare blessings, healing, prosperity, victory into your circumstances. The mountains in your life must move as you decree God's powerful promises. Declare increase of wisdom, joy, peace, love, and success in the mighty name of Jesus!

Join Bishop Jimmy Evangelista as he unpacks the parable of the mustard seed to illustrate that the Christian life is one of gradual progress. Just as a mustard seed starts small when planted but grows into the largest garden plant, our faith starts small but through God's nurturing, grows strong.

Bishop Evangelista shares that there are three main agents God uses to bring us to full maturity in Christ: our circumstances, ministries within the church body, and fellowship with other believers. Through the trials of life, the teaching of God's word, the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, and mutual encouragement, our faith is refined and we are transformed into the image of Jesus Christ.

Let Bishop Evangelista's timely message remind you that your spiritual growth is a lifelong journey. God is patiently shaping you through every season, using both storms and sunshine, community and solitude. Keep pressing on, firmly rooted in Christ. The fulfillment of your faith is blossoming.

These Eastern sages traveled far guided by a star, seeking the prophesied king of the Jews. Upon finding the infant Jesus, they bowed and worshipped him with great joy, offering extravagant gifts. Later warned in a dream, they avoided King Herod by changing their route home.

As we hustle through the Christmas season, the wise men remind us to nurture a seeking heart attuned to God's signs, a worshipful heart focused on Christ, and a generous heart willing to give our all.

1 Nadama ko ang kapangyarihan ni Yahweh at sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Espiritu[a] ay dinala niya ako sa isang libis na puno ng kalansay. 2Inilibot niya ako sa lugar na puno ng mga kalansay na tuyung-tuyo na. 3Tinanong niya ako, “Ezekiel, anak ng tao, palagay mo ba ay maaari pang mabuhay ang mga kalansay na ito?”

Sumagot ako, “Kayo po lamang ang nakaaalam, Yahweh.”

4Sinabi niya sa akin, “Magpahayag ka sa mga kalansay na ito. Sabihin mo: Mga tuyong kalansay, dinggin ninyo ang salita ni Yahweh. 5Ito ang ipinapasabi niya: Bibigyan ko kayo ng hininga at kayo'y mabubuhay.

You and I preseving By The Lord

Why Because :

We are Choosen By Him and apointed to the Ministry OF our God ( Lastday Word In the Lastday)

2 Cor. 4:1

"It is God himself, in his mercy, who has given us this wonderful MINISTRY work [of telling his Good News to others, and so we never give up"

2 Corinthians 4:1

Dahi sa habag ng Diyos,

ibinigay niya sa amin ang paglilingkod na ito

kaya't hindi humihina ang aming loob.

We Need to Pursue our Mission Here ON Earth

2 Mga Taga-Corinto 4:12,15-16

[12]At habang kami'y dahan-dahang namamatay, kayo nama'y nagkakaroon ng buhay.

[15]Ang lahat ng pagtitiis ko ay para sa kapakanan ninyo upang sa pagdami ng mga nakakatanggap ng mga kaloob ng Diyos, lalo pang dumami ang magpapasalamat at magpupuri sa kanya.

[16]Kaya't hindi kami nasisiraan ng loob kahit na humihina ang aming katawang-lupa; patuloy namang lumalakas ang aming espiritu araw-araw.

B. THE GLORY OF THE LORD

More believers means that there are more people to glorify Him.

[15]Ang lahat ng pagtitiis ko ay para sa kapakanan ninyo upang sa pagdami ng mga nakakatanggap ng mga kaloob ng Diyos, lalo pang dumami ang magpapasalamat at magpupuri sa kanya.

A true leader is committed to the cause.

We are Protected By our God

We are choosen , He is our COMPANION.

"God never abandons us" (4:9). God is with us.

2 Mga Taga-Corinto 4:9

Inuusig kami, ngunit hindi kami pinababayaan ng Panginoon. Napapabagsak kami, ngunit di tuluyang napapatay.

When the storms of life hit, we need to be standing close to other Christians and even closer to God. The closer we stand, the more we will be able withstand.

B. FUTURE

2 Mga Taga-Corinto 4:16-18

[16]Kaya't hindi kami nasisiraan ng loob kahit na humihina ang aming katawang-lupa;

patuloy namang lumalakas ang aming espiritu araw-araw.

[17]Ang bahagya at panandaliang kapighatiang dinaranas namin ngayon ay

magbubunga ng kagalakang walang hanggan at walang katulad.

[18]Kaya't ang paningin namin ay nakatuon sa mga bagay na di-nakikita, at hindi sa mga bagay na nakikita.

Sapagkat panandalian lamang ang mga bagay na nakikita, ngunit walang hanggan ang mga bagay na di-nakikita.

In light of eternity and the glory to come, the sufferings of this present life are nothing when compared to that which is to come. ...they do it for a corruptible crown, we for an incorruptible crown.

Press ON toward The GOAL to WIN ( Sunday)

Philippians 3:13-14 NIV

13] Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,

14] I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

PRESSING ON IS THE ESSENSIAL STEP

1) GUARD YOUR MIND

Philippians 3:13-14 NIV

13] Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do:

Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,

(2) GIVE and Get YOUR BEST

Eph. 3:20 in the Amplified Version says,

"God is able to do superabundantly, far over and above, all that we dare ask or think. Infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thought, hopes, or dreams."

3) GAIN YOUR PRIZE.

Crown:

( 1 Thes 2:19 ) there is the Crown of Life:

1 Thessalonians 2:19 NIV

For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you?

( James 1:12 ) there is the Crown of Righteousness:

James 1:12 NIV

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

( 2 Tim 4:8 ) there is the Crown of Glory:

2 Timothy 4:8 NIV

Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day---and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

( 1 Pet 5:4 ) and there is the Incorruptible Crown:( 1 Cor 9:24-27 )

1 Peter 5:4 NIV

And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away

A Call to Evangelize

John 4:35

35Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

HOW: How are we going to look unto the fields?

1. Look with compassion. Matthew 9:36

2. Look with love. Luke 6:27-36

3. Look with humility. Romans 12:3; Proverbs 3:30-34

WHAT: What are we going to do?

1. Communicate.

2. Engage. Show kindness Luke 10:30-35

3. Testify. Matthew 5:14-16

CONCLUSION:

Jesus urge (NOW) His disciples (we-Christians)to open their eyes (look with compassion, love & humility) and look into the fields (sinners, prodigals & unfaithful Christians). He sent us to communicate, engage and testify the truth about Jesus.

"THE BELIEVERS AND THEIR PRAYER LIFE"

James 5:13-18 13] Nahihirapan ba ang sinuman sa inyo? Manalangin siya. Nagagalak ba ang sinuman? Umawit siya ng papuri sa Diyos. 14] Kung kayo ay may sakit, ipatawag ninyo ang mga pinuno ng iglesya upang ipanalangin kayo at pahiran ng langis sa pangalan ng Panginoon. 15] Pagagalingin ng Diyos ang maysakit dahil sa panalanging may pananampalataya; palalakasin siyang muli ng Panginoon at patatawarin ang kanyang mga kasalanan. 16] Kaya nga, ipagtapat ninyo sa inyong mga kapatid ang inyong mga kasalanan at ipanalangin ninyo ang isa't isa, upang kayo'y gumaling. Malaki ang nagagawa ng panalangin ng taong matuwid. 17] Si Elias ay isang tao na tulad din natin; nang mataimtim siyang nanalangin na huwag umulan, hindi nga umulan sa loob ng tatlong taon at anim na buwan. 18] At nang siya'y nanalangin para umulan, bumagsak nga ang ulan at namunga ang mga halaman.

(God's Promises In Prayer)

1. God Hear Us Jeremias 33:2 2] Ganito ang sabi sa kanya: “Ako ang lumikha, humugis at nag-ayos ng buong daigdig. Yahweh ang aking pangalan. 3] Kung mananalangin ka sa akin, tutugunin kita, at ipahahayag ko sa iyo ang mga bagay na dakila at mahiwaga na hindi mo pa nalalaman.

Isaias 65:24 Ang dalangin nila kahit hindi pa tapos ay aking diringgin, at ibibigay ko ang kanilang hinihiling.

God Help Us Mateo 7:7 7] “Humingi kayo at kayo'y bibigyan; humanap kayo at kayo'y makakatagpo; kumatok kayo at kayo'y pagbubuksan. 8] Sapagkat ang bawat humihingi ay tatanggap; ang bawat humahanap ay makakatagpo; at ang bawat kumakatok ay pagbubuksan. 9] Bibigyan ba ninyo ng bato ang inyong anak kapag siya'y humihingi ng tinapay? 10] Bibigyan ba ninyo siya ng ahas kapag siya'y humihingi ng isda? 11] Kung kayong masasama ay marunong magbigay ng mabubuting bagay sa inyong mga anak, gaano pa kaya ang inyong Ama na nasa langit? Bibigyan niya ng mabubuting bagay ang sinumang humihingi sa kanya!

Marcos 11:24 Kaya't sinasabi ko sa inyo, anuman ang hingin ninyo sa inyong panalangin, maniwala kayong natanggap na ninyo iyon, at matatanggap nga ninyo iyon. 1 Juan 5:14 14] Hindi tayo nag-aatubiling lumapit sa kanya dahil alam nating ibibigay niya ang anumang hingin natin kung ito'y naaayon sa kanyang kalooban. 15] At dahil alam nating pinapakinggan nga niya tayo, alam din nating ibinibigay niya ang bawat hinihiling natin sa kanya.

God meet the desire of your HEART

Psalm 37:4-5 NIV 4] Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5] Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: Psalm 37:7 NIV Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

4.] God fulfill what you HOPE for. Jeremiah 29:11-14 NIV 11] For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12] Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13] You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14] I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”

"THE MANIFESTED Power OF GOD"

Acts 3:1-10 NIV

1] One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer---at three in the afternoon.

2] Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.

3] When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.

4] Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!”

5] So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.

6] Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”

7] Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong.

8] He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.

9] When all the people saw him walking and praising God,

10] they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

GOD’S POWER FLOWS WHERE HE IS.
But I thank God, that when the saving, healing presence of God was no longer in this Temple, YET HE WAS IN THE LIVES OF THESE TWO DISCIPLES OF JESUS
Peter and John.
GOD’S POWER FLOWS WHERE THERE IS EXPECTANCY.
The word "expectancy" here means:

"TO WAIT FOR SOMETHING IN SUSPENSE".

(WE MUST COME TO GOD WITH EXPECTANCY!)

GOD’S POWER FLOWS WHERE RIGHT AUTHORITY IS RECOGNIZED.
The authority of JESUS

MATT 28:18

Jesus says: "ALL authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth." All authority belongs to Jesus! That’s wonderful enough, is it not?! But now listen further, because if we read on we see that Jesus has made His authority available to us!

Matt 28:19].

God’s POWER flows where RIGHT AUTHORITY is RIGHTLY RECOGNIZED. Christians would get a hold of this truth - that JESUS' AUTHORITY is AVAILABLE to His CHURCH to COMPLETE the MISSION that He sent US on!

GLORY TO JESUS

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;

Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV

28] Do you not know? Have you not heard?

The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

29] He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

30] Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;

31] but those who wait (hope) in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Isaias 40:28

Hindi ba ninyo nalalaman, di ba ninyo naririnig? Na itong si Yahweh, ang walang hanggang Diyos, ang siyang lumikha ng buong daigdig? Hindi siya napapagod; sa isipan niya'y walang makakaunawa.

Isaias 40:29

Ang mahihina't mga napapagod ay kanyang pinapalakas.

Isaias 40:30

Kahit na ang mga kabataan ay napapagod at nanlulupay

Isaias 40:31

Ngunit muling lumalakas at sumisigla ang nagtitiwala kay Yahweh. Lilipad silang tulad ng mga agila. Sila'y tatakbo ngunit hindi mapapagod, sila'y lalakad ngunit hindi manghihina.

Mga Kawikaan 4:20

Aking anak, salita ko ay pakinggan mong mabuti, pakinig mo ay ikiling sa aking sinasabi.

Mga Kawikaan 4:21

Huwag itong babayaang mawala sa paningin, sa puso mo ay iukit nang mabuti at malalim.

Mga Kawikaan 4:22

Pagkat itong kaalaman ay daan ng buhay, nagbibigay kalusuga't kagalingan ng katawan.

Mga Kawikaan 4:23

Ang puso mo'y ingatang mabuti at alagaan, pagkat iyan ang siyang bukal ng buhay mong tinataglay.

Mga Awit 32:6

Kaya ang tapat sa iyo ay dapat manalangin, sa oras ng kagipitan, ikaw ang tawagin, at sa bugso ng baha'y di sila aabutin.

Mga Awit 32:7

Ikaw ang aking lugar na kublihan; inililigtas mo ako sa kapahamakan. Aawitin ko nang malakas, pag-iingat mo't pagliligtas. (Selah)

Mga Awit 32:8

Ang sabi ni Yahweh, “Aakayin kita sa daan, tuturuan kita at laging papayuhan.

Isaias 46:4

Ako ang inyong Diyos. Iingatan ko kayo hanggang sa pumuti ang inyong buhok at kayo'y tumanda. Kayo'y nilikha ko kaya tungkulin ko na kayo'y iligtas at tulungan.”

Fan into Flames

2 Timothy 1:6-9

3 Important things to we need to stir up the vision we had.

1. Keep your vision burning through your gifts. v.6

“For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.”

2. Be strong and courageous. v.7

“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

3. Acknowledge Jesus in your daily life. v.8-9

JESUS is the “air” we need to fire up the vision.

We must not be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus. We must be known as a follower of Christ. Let us not be ashamed of every testimony we had.

Walang Hanggang Tipan ng Diyos

Jeremias 32:39

Magkakaisa sila ng puso at layunin sa pagsunod sa akin para sa kanilang kabutihan at ng kanilang mga anak.

Jeremias 32:40 Makikipagtipan ako sa kanila ng isang walang hanggang tipan; pagpapalain ko sila habang panahon at tuturuang sumunod sa akin nang buong puso upang hindi na sila tumalikod pa sa akin.

" Because I HAVE "

2 Timothy 4:7 NIV

I HAVE fought the good fight,

I HAVE finished the race,

I HAVE kept the faith.

" I HAVE JESUS "

Knowing, Doing, Becoming

Colossians 1:9-12

Paul's prayer

3 Pillars of the Christian Life: I. Knowing 2. Doing 3. Becoming

I. He Prayed That They Would Know More - v. 9 Colossians 1:9 NIV "For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,"

2. He Prayed That They Might do More - v.10 Colossians 1:10 NIV "so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God," - we need to do more of the work of Christ - in the Christian life, knowledge and obedience go hand in hand.

He prayed That They Might Become More Like Christ - v.11-12 -

Conclusion: - we need to know the will of Christ, we need to do the work of Christ and we need to become more like Christ. - Knowing, doing, becoming Application: >Knowing - read your Bible at least 15min./day or read through the Bible in a year. A commitment to memorize scripture, a passage every day. Plan to grow in your knowledge of God's Word. >Doing - obey the Word, share the Word.... >Becoming - like Christ (positive attitude such as patience, thankfulness and humility) , servant attitude and love that so characterized the life of Christ. In whatever we do, plan to grow in your efforts to become more like Christ. Amen. Glory to God!

"Nothing shall Separate"

Romans 8:35 NIV

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

Mga Taga-Roma 8:34-35

34]Sino ang hahatol na sila'y parusahan?

Si Cristo Jesus na pinatay, ngunit higit sa lahat ay muling binuhay, ngayon ay nasa kanan ng Diyos "UPANG MAMAGITAN PARA SA ATIN."

35]Sino ang makapaghihiwalay sa atin sa pag-ibig ni Cristo?

Ang kaguluhan kaya,

ang kapighatian,

Ang pag-uusig,

Ang pagkagutom,

Ang kahirapan,

Ang panganib, o

Ang kamatayan?

We have good assurance of our preservation and continuance in this blessed state, v. 35, to the end.

We are more than conquerors. In our patiently bearing these trials (Pandemic) we are not only conquerors, but more than conquerors, that is, triumphers.

Life to the fullest everyone

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;

Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV

28] Do you not know? Have you not heard?

The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

29] He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

30] Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;

31] but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

SOME BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF WAITING UPON THE LORD:

A. ABRAHAM AND SARAH (FOR ISAAC)

B. NOAH (FOR THE FLOOD AND SUBSIDING WATERS)

C. JOSEPH (FOR HIS "TIME" IN POWER)

D. JESUS (FOR THE "TIME TO BE FULFILLED")

E. MARY AND MARTHA (FOR JESUS TO ARRIVE WHEN LAZRUS DIED.

F. THE DISCIPLES (FOR THE PROMISED HOLY SPIRIT)

G. ALL BELIEVERS (AWAITING HIS RETURN)

IN EACH CASE THEY

KNEW GOD’S PROMISES
RESTED IN GOD’S CHARACTER
RELIED UPON HIS LOVE

IN EACH CASE, IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT!!

I - FOR THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD-THEY WILL HAVE INWARD STRENGTH:

V31a

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;

He is not talking about physical strength here, but he is talking about inward strength.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NIV

16] Therefore we do not lose heart.

Though outwardly we are wasting away,

yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

17] For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

18] So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

The people in Isaiah’s day were in captivity, they needed inward strength to give them power over temptation.

According to Ephesians 6:10,

God commands us to be strong Christians.

There is a song that I listen to every now and then that says this:

The God on the Mountain

Is still God in the valley

When things go wrong

He’ll make them right

The God of the Good Times

Is still God in the Bad Times

The God of the Day

Is still God in the Night

That’s the God that we serve.

The devil will come to you with his temptation, but remember the words of

I John 4:4

“greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.”

Daniel had that inner strength from God, that is the reason he was able to Stand.

Introduction:

When we say “passion,” it talks about an activity or an event we want or we love to do. Like for example, some have passion for music like I do and some have passion in dancing, etc.

In Christianity, when we hear the word “passion,” the first thing that comes to our mind is the “Passion of Christ.”

In our generation today, what are the passions of the people around us? Some have their passion on their career (business; jobs), passion on social media (FB, Vlog, Gaming) passion for health (gym,diet), passion for love (dating; living-in).

Passion is one of those words that people use often without really understanding the original meaning of the word. When most people refer to "passion", they use it to mean strong emotions reflecting an intense desire or boundless enthusiasm.

But here’s a definition from Kevin Hall of what passion is that I think really have the true meaning of it. Passion is the willingness to suffer for what you love. -Kevin Hall

Now, I would like to ask you, as a Christian what is your passion? Or let us ask ourselves right now, what is my passion before or when the time that I met and accept Jesus? Is it still the same passion I have now?

THE OVER-COMER’S HONOUR

John 16:31-33

31 "You believe at last!" Jesus answered. 32 "But a time is coming, and has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me. 33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

There are 4 major things I want us to notice in this statement

GOD EXPECTS NOTHING BUT VICTORY

1. In the world you shall have tribulation

1 Pet. 5:8 - "because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion and emphasizes that there is a spiritual warfare that we are involved in

Eph. 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places".

WE ARE DESTINED TO WIN

2. Be of good cheer, i.e. be bold and courageous

"To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life" - Rev. 2:7

"He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death" - Rev. 2:11

"To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna" - Rev. 2:17

"And he that overcometh will I give power over the nations" - Rev. 2:26

"He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment" - Rev. 3:5

"Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God" - Rev. 3:12

"To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne" - Rev. 3:21

LEAVE SATAN IN THE DUST

3. I have overcome the world, the world is "overcome-able"

"And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it" - Col. 2:15

"that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil" - Heb. 2:14.

4. He wants us to find peace in Him

The fourth thing Jesus said in Jn. 16:33* is "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace".

*Child of God, you cannot even fight successfully without a revelation of peace.( Ex. Gideon)

*Child of God, you have been given His peace, so be bold and courageous, for we are more than conquerors in Christ. This is your honour, walk in it! keep feeding your faith and starve your doubts to death.

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;

Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV

28] Do you not know? Have you not heard?

The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

29] He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

30] Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;

17 Pagkatapos, tayo namang mga buhay pa at natitira ay titipunin sa alapaap kasama ng mga binuhay upang salubunginang Panginoon sa himpapawid. Sa gayon, makapipiling natin Siya magpakailanman.

CROWNS OF ETERNAL REWARD

Ps. 37:18

Day by day the Lord observes the good deeds done by godly men and gives them eternal rewards.

5 CROWNS OF ETERNAL REWARD

CROWN OF LIFE - To those who devote themselves to Jesus Christ

James 1:12-14

God blesses the people who patiently endure testing. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.

2.THE INCORRUPTIBLE CROWN - For those who lived in a disciplined Christian life

1 Cor. 9:24-27 [24] Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prizes? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. [25] And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable (incorruptible) crown. [26] Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainly. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. [27] Bit I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preach to others, I myself should become disqualified.

THE CROWN OF REJOICING / SOUL WINNERS CROWN - for those who directed others to Jesus Christ.

1 Thes. 2:17-20 [17] But we, brethren, having been taken away from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored more eagerly to see your face with great desire. [18] Therefore we wanted to come to you-even I, Paul, time and again- but Satan hindered us. [19] Foe what is is our hope, or joy , or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming? [20] For you are our glory and joy.

THE CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS - to those who lived with determined faith in Christ.

2 Tim 4:6-9 [6] As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near. [7] I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, and I remained faithful. [8] And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteous judge, will give me on that great day of His return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to His glorious return. Please come as soon as you can.

CROWN OF GLORY (PASTOR'S CROWN) - for those dedicated to supporting God's dedicated men and women.

1 Peter 5:1-4

[1] As fellow elder, this is my appeal to you: [2] Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; [3] nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock; [4] and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.

Thanks for all the people, you prayed , preached the gospel of Jesus , support .thanks to you and praises to God .

Surest Foundation ( Tiyak na pundasyun. o wala ng ibang fundasyun)

Isaiah 28:16 NIV So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic.

Isaiah 28:16 Ito ngayon ang sinasabi ng Panginoong Yahweh: “Naglalagay ako sa Zion ng batong-panulukan, subok, mahalaga, at matatag na pundasyon; “Ang magtiwala rito'y hindi mapapahiya.”

Therefore thus says the Lord God:“Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundationA tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily.

• Sinu ang tinutukoy ng talatang ito? Who is speaking? What He is saying?

Ito ngayon ang sinasabi ng Panginoong Yahweh:“Naglalagay ako sa Zion ng batong-panulukan Therefore thus says the Lord God:“Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation

What is Zion? Zion literally refer to the hill/ mountain where the most ancient areas of Jerusalem stood, Jerusalem itself it is also called city of David the dwelling place of God. In the New Testament, Zion refers to believers of Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2:6 -7a 6 sapagkat sinasabi ng kasulatan,“Tingnan ninyo,inilalagay ko sa Zion ang isang batong-panulukan, pinili at mahalaga;hindi mapapahiya ang sinumang sumasampalataya sa kanya.” 7 Kaya nga, mahalaga siya sa inyong mga sumasampalataya sa kanya

Efeso 2:19-20 19 Samakatuwid, hindi na kayo dayuhan o taga-ibang bansa, kundi kababayan na ng mga hinirang ng Diyos at kabilang sa kanyang sambahayan. 20. Tulad ng isang gusali, kayo'y itinayo sa pundasyong inilagay ng mga apostol at mga propeta, na ang batong panulukan ay si Cristo Jesus

But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. Job 23:10 Ngunit alam ng Diyos ang aking bawat hakbang;kapag sinubok niya, lalabas ang kadalisayan.

UNSEEN: Focusing our eyes on eternal things. Text: 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Introduction: Last week we heard about the great rules we should follow for us to have a great life this year 2021. In the book of proverbs, we understand that God given wisdom prolongs our lives. Also, before the end of year 2020, I shared about what is next? How are we going to live this year 2021? This year 2021, we are going to have our Life's Mission, getting to know Jesus, and making Him known. Who among you here knows Jesus and accepted Him as Lord and Savior? In this church that Apostle Paul addressed his letter, we are going to talk about focusing on the unseen. So, the title of my message will be, UNSEEN: Focusing our eyes on eternal things. Most of the people today believe on what is seen on TV, Movies, Internet, or social media. And most of the time it affects our beliefs, our actions and end our habits especially now that we encounter this pandemic. Ex. Covid-19 new variant, Zombie apocalypse 2021, FB posts & Mobile games In 2 Corinthians 4:4, it says that "In their case, the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." The enemy puts fear in our hearts upon seeing what is happening around us. He shows lies in social medias and TV news so we can have doubts, causes quarrels, leisure that steals our time to forget that there is a God who loves us, gave His life to save us and promises us to have a life to the fullness.

But Apostle Paul reminds us through his letter to 2 Corinthians 4:16-18. 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Paul also said in 2 Cor 11:24-27, 24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, 26 I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers. 27 I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. Although he has experienced these things, he was able to encourage the Corinthian church not to lose their heart. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. We are very affected by what we see. We usually do the opposite of what Paul says here – we fix our eyes on what is seen, and not on what is unseen. I do not think many of us will think about heaven unless we are about to die. It is too far from us. Yet the truth is we can find ourselves in heaven the next day, since life is in His hands and not ours. Example: the story of a farmer (to plough the field the next day, oil for tractor he go to the shop, saw a pig not fed go to the storehouse to get feeds, saw a sack of feeds and remember his potatoes sprouting so he started for the potato pit while he was going he saw a pile of wood and remember his wife wanted to have wood in the house so he pick up few sticks and suddenly an ailed chicken passed by, he dropped the woods and pick up the chicken. When evening arrived, the frustrated farmer had not even gotten to the tractor. There are 2 things we need to know that the enemy uses to distract our focus and discourage us: 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our

Sunday Worship Service | 1st Service | Perspective 2021 (What do you expect for this year.)

Santiago 4:13-15 14]Ni hindi nga ninyo alam kung ano ang mangyayari sa inyo sa araw ng bukas! Ang buhay ninyo'y parang usok lamang, sandaling lumilitaw at agad nawawala. 15]Sa halip ay sabihin ninyo, “Kung loloobin ng Panginoon at nabubuhay pa kami, gagawin namin ito o iyon.”

It is that time of the year when people are making their annual New Year resolutions.

The types of resolutions people They break down as follows: • 22% of resolutions involve health and fitness • 18% career • 15% personal growth and interests • 11% personal finance • 11% time management and organization • 8% family and relationships • 6% education and training • 5% home improvement and real estate • 3% recreation and leisure

We began a New Year by saying,

“I’m going loose weight,” We say, “I’m going to start exercising”

There is nothing wrong with resolutions, but as we approach the beginning of a New Year, I would like to suggest that it is not resolutions we need, but perspectives.

(Our word “perspective” is from the Latin word “perspectus” meaning “to look through, see clearly.”)

When I talk about New Year Perspectives, I am talking about having a proper view of the New Year that is ahead.

James speaks to us of:

A) The Scope of Life

James asks the question, “What is your life?” This is not a question about the origin or essence of our lives.

He is talking about the number of our days and years, the length and duration of our life. James is talking about how long we will live.

Life expectancy :

Matthew 6:30-32 NIV 30] If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you---you of little faith? 31] So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32] For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

This kind of expectancy ought to characterize every area of the believer’s life.

I. You Can Expect God to Direct Your Life. II. You Can Expect God to Save You out of Dire Circumstances. III. You Can Expect God to Provide. IV. You Can Expect God to Heal.

(EXPECT GREAT THINGS FROM GOD!")

James not only speaks of the scope of life, but also:

B) The Shortness of Life

Santiago 4:14 14]Ni hindi nga ninyo alam kung ano ang mangyayari sa inyo sa araw ng bukas! Ang buhay ninyo'y parang usok lamang, sandaling lumilitaw at agad nawawala.

James describes The word “vapour” means a “mist” and is descriptive of the morning mist that quickly burns away and disappears.

“Here today, gone tomorrow.” He is reminding us of the brevity of life.

Someone has put it, “Between the womb and the tomb there’s little room.”

An unknown poet has put it this way:

The Bible repeatedly reminds us of the (shortness) brevity of life:

• 1 Chronicles 29:15 “Our days on the earth are as a shadow.” • Job 7:6 “My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle.” • Job 14:1-2 “Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. [2] He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.” • Psalm 102:11 “My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.”

James 4:13 NIV Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.”

Santiago 4:13 Makinig kayo sa akin, kayong nagsasabi, “Ngayon o bukas ay pupunta kami sa ganito at ganoong bayan at isang taon kaming titigil doon, mangangalakal kami at kikita nang malaki.”

The plan is constructed – “today or tomorrow.”
The place is chosen – “we will go into such a city.”
The period is calculated – “continue there a year there.”
The purpose is considered – “buy and sell.”
The profit is computed – “and get gain.”

When we come to the end of our life and we are facing e

Sunday Worship Service | Preparing the Environment, God's Power Flows

Acts 3:1-10 It’s 3pm in the afternoon (the hour of prayer in the Temple), Peter and John head up to join the throng at the great House of God. And on the way in, as they came to the Gate called Beautiful (a gate inlayed with gold and precious stones, situated as an entrance in the Eastern side of the Temple courts) - they came across this man who had been crippled since birth. A man so lame that he couldn’t even hobble along with the aid of a crutch, but instead he had to be carried everywhere.

And so he had some good friends who would carry him every day and lay him at this entrance to the Temple to beg from the people going up to pray.

YOU SEE he wasn’t allowed inside the Temple to join in prayer, because he was a cripple.

Because of their spiritual pride they felt that he was blemished - not fit for the house of God.

And so he sat on the steps and begged. And people gave him their loose change (to ease their consciences as they went to prayer!)

But, as Peter and John approached this particular day he saw them, and so he asked them for alms. (Peter and John had just recently been filled with the Holy Spirit, and so they were just full of joy and life - so this lame man felt sure to get a good offering from these guys).

Peter and John stopped as he spoke to them (not like everyone else who tried to get past him without looking), and Peter said to him: "LOOK AT US!" - perhaps the man’s head was bowed down, he never looked into the eyes of those who came by for fear of offending them.

He didn’t want to embarrass, so he kept his head low - but here is Peter saying "Look at us!" So he looked up at them "expecting to receive something from them."

Peter said: "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk."

With that, Peter took hold of the man’s right hand and lifted him up, AND IN THAT MOMENT OF TIME "STRENGTH" came into that man’s feet and ankle bones for the very first time in his life. And he lept up!

And he began to dance around - before all the hundreds of Jews coming in for prayer - and he praised God!

What a great miracle! Don’t you love to hear stories like that of the power of God. Don’t you long to see God’s power move like that in our midst?

THE QUESTION IS:

In what kind of environment WILL God’s power flow?

You see, I don’t think we need great complex ideas. I believe God usually deals with us very simply.

"The main things are the plain things, and the plain things are the main things".

I can see some very basic principles here in this story that we must recognize if we desire to see God’s power.

FIRSTLY:

GOD’S POWER FLOWS WHERE HE IS.

Sounds simple / obvious doesn’t it?

God’s power flows where God is.

Look at this lame man’s predicament with me for a moment.

He had been sat at the entrance of the Temple for YEARS (4:22 says he was "over 40 years of age"). The Temple was supposedly the very House of God - the "HOME" of God’s presence - and yet here he was all his life camped at it’s gates AND HE WAS STILL A CRIPPLE!

In all their religious fervour, there was NOTHING that these people could offer him! The best they could do was a few copper coins to ease their consciences as they passed by - an act of pity.

But friends, when that curtain was torn away, God was making His final declaration about where He intended to reside

BUT IN TRUTH THE GLORY GOD HAD BEEN ABSENT FROM THE TEMPLE FOR CENTURIES.

But I thank God, that when the saving, healing presence of God was no longer in this Temple.

YET HE WAS IN THE LIVES OF THESE TWO DISCIPLES OF JESUS - Peter and John.

And so Peter reaches out and heals the man. Tell me - is the hand that reaches out Peter’s or God’s? The answer is: YES! Yes, it’s Peter’s - but WE ARE HIS HANDS AND FEET - it’s also God’s. What does Colossians 1:27 say - "CHRIST IN YOU THE HOPE OF GLORY!"

The lame ma

Is there any changes in your life? In your daily living? In your character? Did the circumstances made you strong or weak?

During the time of world wars? As we close this year, what's next?

Faithful means "full of faith" 2 Cor. 5:7 (walk by faith & not by sight)
Ex.
Live lovingly. Matthew 25:34-46
In these verses, Jesus talks about how much we care to others. That we should care for the needy. We help others by giving them what they need. But how about those who are not in need? As we look deeper, the bible tells us in Mark 8:36. "For what shall profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"
Lovingly means with love or great care. Matthew 9:36
Show love and care by shadings God's blessings and God's word.

Conclusion: Who am I right now? What are the things I have done great? And things that I he done wrong? What am I going to do now? What's next? There will be a lot of things that are going to the place ahead of us. Maybe better than before and worse than what happened this year. But despite all these things, God's promises will never fail. Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you appart:; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 29:11 -14 Let us all come to Him and pray, let us seek His righteousness with all our hearts.

In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. > CHRISTIAN SPOKEN WORD The Final Hour "No matter if you think we are in the last days or not, everyday is somebody’s last day. > Let's this World know who Jesus is.. John 1:4-9 NIV 4] In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5] The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Sunday Worship Service | The Message of Christmas

Bethlehem = House of Bread - it was an appropriate place for the Bread of Life to be born!

Lucas 2:10 Ngunit sinabi sa kanila ng anghel, “Huwag kayong matakot! Ako'y may dalang magandang balita para sa inyo na magdudulot ng malaking kagalakan sa lahat ng tao.

Lucas 2:1 Nang panahong iyon, iniutos ni Emperador Augusto na magkaroon ng sensus sa lahat ng nasasakupan ng Imperyo ng Roma.

Lucas 2:2 Ang unang sensus na ito ay ginawa nang si Cirenio ang gobernador ng Siria.

Lucas 2:3 Kaya't umuwi ang bawat isa sa sari-sariling bayan upang magpatala.

Lucas 2:4 Mula sa Nazaret, isang lunsod sa Galilea, si Jose ay pumunta sa Judea, sa Bethlehem na bayang sinilangan ni Haring David, sapagkat siya'y mula sa angkan ni David.

Lucas 2:5 Kasama niyang umuwi upang magpatala rin si Maria na kanyang magiging asawa, na noon ay kabuwanan na.

Lucas 2:6 Habang sila'y nasa Bethlehem, sumapit ang oras ng panganganak ni Maria.

Lucas 2:7 Isinilang niya ang kanyang panganay, na isang lalaki. Binalot niya sa lampin ang sanggol at inihiga sa isang sabsaban, sapagkat wala nang lugar para sa kanila sa bahay-panuluyan.

Lucas 2:8 Doon ay may mga pastol na nasa parang at nagbabantay ng kanilang mga tupa nang gabing iyon.

Lucas 2:9 Lumapit at tumayo sa kalagitnaan nila ang isang anghel ng Panginoon at nagliwanag sa kapaligiran nila ang nakakasilaw na kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon. Ganoon na lamang ang kanilang pagkatakot.

Lucas 2:10 Ngunit sinabi sa kanila ng anghel, “Huwag kayong matakot! Ako'y may dalang magandang balita para sa inyo na magdudulot ng malaking kagalakan sa lahat ng tao.

Lucas 2:11 Isinilang ngayon sa bayan ni David ang inyong Tagapagligtas, ang Cristong Panginoon.

Lucas 2:12 Ito ang inyong palatandaan: matatagpuan ninyo ang isang sanggol na nababalot ng lampin at nakahiga sa isang sabsaban.”

Lucas 2:13 Bigla nilang nakitang kasama ng anghel ang isang malaking hukbo ng mga anghel sa kalangitan. Sila'y nagpupuri sa Diyos at umaawit,

Lucas 2:14 Papuri sa Diyos sa kaitaasan, at sa lupa ay kapayapaan sa mga taong kinalulugdan niya!”

Lucas 2:15 Nang makaalis na ang mga anghel pabalik sa langit, ang mga pastol ay nag-usap-usap, “Tayo na sa Bethlehem! Tingnan natin ang pangyayaring ito na ibinalita sa atin ng Panginoon.”

Lucas 2:16 Nagmamadali silang pumaroon at natagpuan nila sina Maria at Jose, at ang sanggol na nakahiga sa sabsaban.

Lucas 2:17 Isinalaysay ng mga pastol ang sinabi ng anghel tungkol sa sanggol.

Lucas 2:18 Namangha ang lahat ng nakarinig sa sinabi ng mga pastol.

Lucas 2:19 Tinandaan ni Maria ang mga bagay na ito, at ito'y kanyang pinagbulay-bulayan.

Lucas 2:20 Umalis ang mga pastol na nagpupuri sa Diyos at nagpapahayag ng kanyang kadakilaan dahil sa lahat ng narinig nila at nakita, ayon sa sinabi sa kanila ng anghel.

Introduction :

: As we think about these Christmas Messages, we need to be sure that we receive the message of the angels like the shepherds did.

That we too come to know Jesus and go away praising Him and glorifying His Name.

What kind of message is your life preaching today?

Like the Angels, are you living a life that points men to Jesus?

Or, are you like the shepherds, so filled up with His wonder and glory that life is fresh everyday because of Jesus?

Or, would you have to admit that like the innkeeper, you simply have no room for Jesus in your life. Which describes you best?

Luke 2:25 NIV Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.

Salvation Message

It is important to note what Gabriel told Mary:

He shall be great. (v32)
He shall be call the Son of the Highest.
He will be given the throne of his father David.
He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever and of his kingdom there shall be no end..(v33)
Good tidings (News), great joy, to all people (Universal), unto you (Personal).

Sunday Worship Service - 2nd Service | Waiting Upon The LORD

Isaiah 40:31

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, not faint" Isaiah 40:31). SOME BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF WAITING UPON THE LORD:A. ABRAHAM AND SARAH (FOR ISAAC)B. NOAH (FOR THE FLOOD AND SUBSIDING WATERS)C. JOSEPH (FOR HIS "TIME" IN POWER)D. JESUS (FOR THE "TIME TO BE FULFILLED")E. MARY AND MARTHA (FOR JESUS TO ARRIVE WHEN LAZRUS DIED.F. THE DISCIPLES (FOR THE PROMISED HOLY SPIRIT)G. ALL BELIEVERS (AWAITING HIS RETURN)IN EACH CASE, IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT!! I. FOR THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD-THEY WILL HAVE INWARD STRENGTH:> But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; 31A He is not talking about physical strength here, but he is talking about moral strength. The people in Isaiah’s day were in captivity, they needed inward strength to give them power over temptation. According to Ephesians 6:10, God commands us to be strong Christians. There is a song that I listen to every now and then that says this:The God on the Mountain > Is still God in the valleyWhen things go wrong > He’ll make them rightThe God of the Good Times > Is still God in the Bad TimesThe God of the Day > Is still God in the NightThat’s the God that we serve. As Christians God wants us to rely on him, whatever we are doing. As we look to him, he will give us the strength to continue and we are tempted to give in - yet when we look to our Lord, he will RENEW our strength.The devil will come to you with his temptation, but remember the words of I John 4:4- ”greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.” Daniel had that inner strength from God, that is the reason he was able to overcome all. (THANK GOD FOR INWARD STRENGTH)II. FOR THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD-THEY WILL HAVE UPWARD STRENGTH:> they shall mount up with wings as eagles; 31B And so it is with us in the Christian life. When we first become Christians we feel protected in the nest, but God soon takes us out of it, so that he can teach us to "soar on wings like eagles"> The eagle doesn’t like the mud and filth of this world, if you look for him, he will be on the highest mountain. > The eagle soared into the sky, and gave a screamed of victory as he returned to clouds where he once lived.> That is a picture of the life of victory that God wants to give to his people. God never want us to live to deep in this world. John 15:19-If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. We must recognize that our upward strength is a gift from God, and, unfortunately, sometimes we don’t seek it. Colossians 3:2-Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. III. FOR THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD- THEY WILL HAVE OUTWARD STRENGTH:> they shall run, and not be weary; 31CGal. 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Notice he didn’t say sit but they that run. Sometimes we as Christians want to sit, not get involved in the work of the Lord. And yet there are those who are involved and running for the Lord but they get weary. Gal. 5:6 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? Have you stopped running for Jesus? Well the Lord is the Cure. Many people get tired of running for Jesus and get weary even to point of quitting. But God can get us out of retirement. (A teacher in my Church)When I was in the Air Force, I was stationed in Maine for a while. In some of our training, we had to run five miles in cold weather. As I started out, it was cold, but as I continued to run, I got warmed up. In the same way, when we run for Jesus, He will warm us up and not be weary. IV. FOR THOSE WAIT ON THE LORD- THEY WILL HAVE ONWARD STRENGTH

"HOW GOD'S MIRACLE HAPPEN IN OUR LIFE"

Sunday Worship Service | November 15, 2020 (1st Service) "God Empowerment to Believers"

We need to MEDITATE ON THE TRUTH so that our spirit can be build to comprehend the working power of God in us.

Once we do that, we will reap rich rewards (Jos 1:8; Ps 1:2-3).

Joshua 1:8 NIV Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Psalm 1:2-3 NIV 2] but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. 3] That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither---whatever they do prospers.

When we have this reverent attitude, the Spirit of truth, the Holy Spirit, can lift us into a place where we can see the TRUE MEANING of God’s revelation.

(The prayer of Apostle Paul to the Ephesians is the open door to exercising spiritual authority.)

Ephesians 6:10-12 NIV 10] Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11] Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12] For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

When we ACTIVATE the heavenly realm, we are putting faith into action!
operation OF The system require PASS WORD

John 8:31-32 NIV 31] To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching (WORD), you are really my disciples. 32] Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

a. The revealed truth sets us free. Jn 8:32 32] Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

b. The Word is backed by His character, the Name of Christ has great power. Rev 15:3-4

Revelation 15:3-4 NIV 3] and sang the song of God's servant Moses and of the Lamb: “Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the nations. 4] Who will not fear you, Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.”

c. The Word is backed by His eternal throne. Rev 1:8; 22:13

Revelation 1:8 NIV [8] “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Revelation 22:12-13 NIV 12] “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. 13] I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

d. The Word stands unshaken and is unshakeable by the onslaughts of devils or men. 2 Tim 4:2-4

2 Timothy 4:2-3 NIV 2] Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage---with great patience and careful instruction. 3] For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

e. Though heaven and earth may pass away, but the word will prevail for eternity. Matt 5:18

Matthew 5:18 NIV For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

f. The Word ASSURES us victory can be won in the physical realm when we don’t give in (1 Pet 5:8-9).

1 Peter 5:7-8 NIV 7] Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 8] Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9] Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

When we speak God’s PROMISES with conviction, miracles happen!

God’s Word becomes ALIVE. You wi

PAANO AKO MAKATITIYAK SA AKING PANANAMPALATAYA?

Hindi ang buhay na ito ang katapusan;

may buhay pa sa kabila ng libingan. Ang kasaysayan ay may halaga at hindi paikot- ikot lamang; ito ay patuloy na gumagalaw patungo sa isang maluwalhating sukdulan.

Ang pinananahanan ng Anak ng Diyos ay may buhay na walang hanggan, ngunit wala nito ang hindi pinanahanan ng anak ng Diyos. Isinusulat ko ito sa inyo upang malaman ninyo na kayong nananalig sa Anak ng Diyos ay may buhay na walang hanggan. – 1 Juan 5:12-13

“ Kaya’t ang sinumang nakipag-isa kay Cristo ay isa nang bagong nilalang. Wala na ang dating pagkatao; siya’y bago na.” 2 Corinto 5:17

Nang tanggapin natin si Kristo, tayo ay naging mga anak ng Diyos

Juan 1:12 Subalit ang lahat ng tumanggap at sumampalataya sa kanya ay binigyan niya ng karapatang maging mga anak ng Diyos. Juan 1:13 Sila nga ay naging mga anak ng Diyos, hindi dahil sa isinilang sila ayon sa kalikasan o sa kagustuhan o sa kagagawan ng tao kundi ang pagiging anak nila ay dahil sa kalooban ng Diyos.

(Pansinin: nanampalataya at tumanggap)

Mga Hebreo 11:1-3 [1]Ang pananampalataya ay pagtitiwala na mangyayari ang ating mga inaasahan, at katiyakan tungkol sa mga bagay na hindi nakikita. [2]Kinalugdan ng Diyos ang mga tao noong una dahil sa kanilang pananampalataya sa kanya. [3]Dahil sa pananampalataya, nauunawaan natin na ang sanlibutan ay nilalang sa pamamagitan ng Salita ng Diyos, at ang mga bagay na nakikita ay mula sa mga hindi nakikita.

Nais ng Diyos na tayo ay makatiyak

Mga Hebreo 12:2 [2]Ituon natin ang ating paningin kay Jesus na siyang pinagmumulan at kabuuan ng ating pananampalataya. Dahil sa kagalakang naghihintay sa kanya, hindi niya ikinahiya ang mamatay sa krus, at siya ngayo'y nakaupo sa kanan ng trono ng Diyos.

“Isinusulat ko ito sa inyo upang malaman ninyo na kayong nananalig sa Anak ng Diyos ay may buhay na walang hanggan.” 1 Juan 5:13

(Anong katunayan meron na ang pananampalataya ay totoo?)

Hindi natin dapat pagkatiwalaan ang ating mga nararamdaman, na pabagu-bago at mapanlinlang; sa halip ay ang mga pangako ng Diyos.

• Pananampalataya – pananangan sa mga pangako ng Diyos at maglakas-loob na paniwalaan ang mga ito

Binibigyan Niya tayo ng malalim at personal na pagkakilala na tayo nga ay Anak ng Diyos (Roma 8:15-16)

Mga Taga-Roma 8:15 Sapagkat hindi ibinigay sa inyo ng Diyos ang Espiritu upang kayo'y gawing mga aliping namumuhay sa takot. Sa halip, ibinigay sa inyo ang Espiritu upang kayo'y gawing mga anak ng Diyos, kaya nakatatawag tayo sa kanya ng “Ama, Ama ko!” Mga Taga-Roma 8:16 Ang Espiritu ang nagpapatotoo, kasama ng ating espiritu, na tayo'y mga anak ng Diyos. Mga Taga-Roma 8:17 At yamang mga anak, tayo'y mga tagapagmana ng Diyos at kasamang tagapagmana ni Cristo. Sapagkat kung tayo'y kasama niya sa pagtitiis, tayo'y makakasama niya sa kanyang kaluwalhatian.

Alin sa mga sumusunod na pagbabago ang naranasan mo na sa iyong buhay?

Kakaiba at bagong pagmamahal para sa Diyos Pagkaunawa ng pagpapatawad Kagalakan sa pagsamba sa Diyos Kasiyahang makipagkilala sa iba pang mananampalataya Kakaibang malasakit para sa ibang tao Pagnanasang magbasa at mag-aral ng Salita ng Diyos

PAGWAWAKAS • Ninanais ng Diyos na tayo ay makatiyak sa ating kapatawaran at sa buhay na walang hanggan sa piling Niya. • Ang katiyakan ay makakamtan sa pananangan sa Diyos, sa Kanyang Salita at hindi sa pagtitiwala sa ating mga nararamdaman.

Salamat po Panginoong Hesus, Amen.

Word of God | Understanding Spiritual Authority

A. What Is Spiritual Authority?

Authority in Greek (exousia) means it is the right to exercise power or the power to rule or govern over someone or something, one whose will and commands must be obeyed (physical or spiritual).

It speaks specifically of the apostolic exercising of spiritual authority to build or to demolish.

Spiritual authority is the delegated power of God for His people.

2 Mga Taga-Corinto 10:8 Ipagmalaki ko man ang kapangyarihang ibinigay sa amin ng Diyos sa ikakatibay ninyo at hindi sa ikapapahamak, hindi ako mapapahiya.

Spiritual authority speaks of Christ being the One who has the power to exercise authority over all believers.

He is enthroned above all principalities and authority.

He is the governing Godhead over the Church meaning to say He has transferred His authority to the Church.

Matt 28:18-20 All authority is given unto Me in heaven and earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you.

(Things we can learn from exercising spiritual authority)

Spiritual authority is God Himself CONFIRMING His word of Truth with power to accomplish a work.

Juan 14:12 Pakatandaan ninyo: ang nananalig sa akin ay makakagawa ng mga ginagawa ko, at higit pa kaysa rito, sapagkat babalik na ako sa Ama. Juan 14:13 At anumang hilingin ninyo sa aking pangalan ay gagawin ko upang maparangalan ang Ama sa pamamagitan ng Anak. Juan 14:14 Kung hihiling kayo ng anuman sa aking pangalan, ito ay aking gagawin.”

Our final authority must be the word of Truth

Spiritual authority is the power and provision of God to INVADE and TRANSFORM the world (Matt 8:1-4; 28-34; Mrk 5:1-19; Acts 8:5-8).

Mateo 8:1 Nang makababa si Jesus mula sa bundok, sinundan siya ng napakaraming tao. Mateo 8:2 Lumapit sa kanya ang isang taong may ketong, lumuhod sa harapan niya, at sinabi, “Panginoon, kung nais po ninyo, ako'y inyong mapapagaling at magagawang malinis.” Mateo 8:3 Hinawakan siya ni Jesus at sinabi, “Oo, nais kong gumaling ka at maging malinis.” At gumaling at luminis nga agad ang ketongin. Mateo 8:4 Pagkatapos, sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Huwag mong sasabihin ito kaninuman. Sa halip, pumunta ka at magpasuri sa pari. Pagkatapos, mag-alay ka ng handog na iniuutos ni Moises bilang patunay sa mga tao na ikaw nga'y magaling at malinis na.”

3.Spiritual authority is OPERATED in God’s power

Lucas 10:19 Binigyan ko kayo ng kapangyarihang tapakan ang mga ahas at mga alakdan, at ang lahat ng kapangyarihan ng kaaway; at walang makakapanakit sa inyo. Lucas 10:20 Ngunit magalak kayo, hindi dahil sa napapasuko ninyo ang masasamang espiritu, kundi dahil sa nakatala sa langit ang inyong mga pangalan.”

Spiritual authority REVEALS God’s work on this earth
Spiritual authority is DEMANDING your rights over the devil

Juan 10:10 Dumarating ang magnanakaw para lamang magnakaw, pumatay, at manira. Naparito ako upang ang mga tupa ay magkaroon ng buhay, ng isang buhay na masagana at ganap.

1 Pedro 5:6 Kaya nga, pasakop kayo sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos at dadakilain niya kayo pagdating ng takdang panahon. 1 Pedro 5:7 Ipagkatiwala ninyo sa kanya ang inyong mga alalahanin sa buhay sapagkat siya ay nagmamalasakit sa inyo. 1 Pedro 5:8 Maging handa kayo at magbantay. Ang diyablo, ang kaaway ninyo ay parang leong umaatungal at aali-aligid na naghahanap ng masisila.

Santiago 4:6 Ngunit higit na malakas ang tulong na ibinigay niya sa atin. Kaya't sinasabi ng kasulatan, “Ang Diyos ay laban sa mga mapagmataas ngunit nalulugod sa mga mapagpakumbabá.” Santiago 4:7 Kaya nga, pasakop kayo sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos. Labanan ninyo ang diyablo at lalayuan kayo nito.

Through The Eyes Of Faith

"For the battle is not yours, but God's."

2 Chronicles 20:15 NIV [15] He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's.

(Through faith, this is for the glory of God.)

2 Mga Cronica 20:12-15 12]Ikaw po ang Diyos namin, parusahan ninyo sila. Hindi namin kayang labanan ang ganito karaming hukbo. Hindi po namin alam ang aming gagawin. Sa inyo lamang kami umaasa.”

13]Samantala, lahat ng kalalakihan ng Juda kasama ang kanilang mga asawa't anak ay dumulog kay Yahweh.

14]Ang Espiritu ni Yahweh ay lumukob kay Jahaziel na anak ni Zacarias. Apo siya ni Benaias na anak ni Jeiel na apo naman ni Matanias, isa sa mga Levitang anak ni Asaf.

15]Sinabi niya, “Makinig kayo, Haring Jehoshafat, at kayong mga taga-Juda at Jerusalem. Ganito ang sinasabi sa inyo ni Yahweh: ‘Huwag kayong matakot ni masiraan ng loob dahil sa maraming kaaway. Ang Diyos ang makikipaglaban at hindi kayo.

A man of faith is a man of prayer, and a man of prayer is doubtless a powerful servant of God.

Jehoshaphat was a man of faith and prayer.

Through his faith, God displayed His power in the midst of Judah and beyond.

He also led many people to walk in the path of righteousness by guiding and showing them his living example.

through the eyes of faith, the blind can see.

through the eyes of faith, beyond the horizon you’ll see.

through the eyes of faith, shadows of doubt you’ll not see.

through the eyes of faith, peace, love and joy you’ll see.

through the eyes of faith, hope is settled in the midst of a troubled sea.

through the eyes of faith, you’ll remember the Lord walking on the sea.

through the eyes of faith, outstretched hand of Jesus you’ll see. through the eyes of faith, greater things you’ll see. through the eyes of faith, God who made your eyes you’ll see!

“ UNISON SPIRIT “

(Make Every Effort )

Ephesians 4:3-4,6 NIV 3] Make every effort - to keep the unity of the SPIRIT through the bond of peace.

( reasons OF The UNITY in The SPIRIT) - 4] There is one body - and one Spirit, - just as you were called - to one hope when you were called ; - 5] one Lord, - one faith, - one baptism; - 6] one God - and Father of all, - who is over all - and through all and in all.

(Why we Need one in The Spirit ) Forgiveness and Sonship Son and Dauther OF Christ

Romans 8:14-17 NIV - 14] For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the CHILDREN OF GOD.

16] The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
17] Now if we are children, then we are heirs---heirs of God
and co-heirs with Christ,
if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

OLD TESTAMENTS DIRECTIVES

( Gods Devine instruction to Moses) Numbers 11:16-17 NIV 16] The Lord said to Moses: “Bring me seventy of Israel's elders who are known to you as leaders and officials among the people. Have them come to the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with you. - WHO know to you as LEADERS among The People - Bring Them to be closer to God and Moses - Bridging Them to hear Gods Voice .

17] I will come down and speak with you there, - and I will take some of the power of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them. - Giving every one as Moses spirit to do One - They will share the burden of the people with you so that you will not have to carry it alone.

Mga Bilang 11:16 Dahil dito, sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Pumili ka ng pitumpung matatandang pinuno sa Israel, iyong mga kinikilala ng kanilang lipi, at isama mo sa Toldang Tipanan. Mga Bilang 11:17 Pagdating ninyo roon, bababâ ako at makikipag-usap sa iyo. - Babahaginan ko sila ng espiritung ibinigay ko sa iyo upang makatulong mo sila. (One spirit)

NEW TESTAMENT DIRECTIVES

(To build UP The Body OF Christ) POWER FOR STRENTHENING

Romans 12:3-8 NIV 3] For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: - Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, - in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. FAITH MATURING , FAITH MOVING , 4] For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5] so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6] We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7] if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8] if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

(To Realese The spirit power in Evangelism) POWER FOR WITNESSING

1 Corinthians 12:7-11 NIV 7] Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8] To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9] to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10] to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. 11] All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

"Learning to Live by God's"

Living for God

1 Mga Hari 17:8-24 8]Kaya sinabi sa kanya ni Yahweh, 9]“Umalis ka rito. Pumunta ka sa Sarepta, sa lupain ng Sidon. May inutusan akong isang biyuda na magpapakain sa iyo roon.” 10]Pumunta nga siya roon, at nang papasok na siya ng pintuan ng lunsod, nakita niya ang biyuda na namumulot ng panggatong. Sinabi niya sa babae, “Maaari po bang makiinom?” 11]Aalis na ang babae upang ikuha siya ng tubig nang pahabol niyang sabihin, “Kung maaari, bigyan mo na rin ako ng kapirasong tinapay.” 12]Sumagot ang babae, “Saksi si Yahweh, ang inyong buháy na Diyos na wala na kaming tinapay. Mayroon pa kaming kaunting harina at ilang patak na langis. Namumulot nga ako ng panggatong upang lutuin iyon at makakain man lamang kami ng anak ko bago kami mamatay.” 13]Sinabi sa kanya ni Elias, “Huwag kang mag-alala. Pumunta ka na at gawin mo ang iyong sinabi. Ngunit ipagluto mo muna ako ng isang maliit na tinapay, at pagkatapos magluto ka ng para sa inyo. 14]Sapagkat ganito ang sabi ni Yahweh, Diyos ng Israel: Hindi ninyo mauubos ang harina sa lalagyan, at hindi rin matutuyo ang langis sa tapayan hanggang hindi sumasapit ang takdang araw na papatakin na ni Yahweh ang ulan.” 15]Ginawa nga ng babae ang utos ni Elias at hindi naubos ang pagkain ni Elias at ng mag-ina sa loob ng maraming araw. 16]Hindi nga naubos ang harina sa lalagyan, at hindi rin natuyo ang langis sa sisidlan, tulad ng sinabi ni Yahweh sa pamamagitan ni Elias. 17]Hindi nagtagal at nagkasakit ang anak ng biyuda. Lumubha ang sakit ng bata hanggang sa ito'y mamatay. 18]Kaya't sinabi ng babae kay Elias, “Anong ikinagagalit ninyo sa akin, lingkod ng Diyos? Naparito ba kayo upang ako'y sumbatan sa aking mga kasalanan at patayin ang aking anak?” 19]“Akin na ang bata,” sabi ni Elias. At kinuha niya ang bata, ipinanhik sa itaas, sa silid na kanyang tinutuluyan. Inilagay niya ang bata sa kanyang higaan 20]at nanalangin, “Yahweh, aking Diyos, ito ba ang inyong igaganti sa babaing nagmagandang-loob sa akin?” 21]Tatlong beses siyang dumapa sa bata at nanalangin ng ganito: “Yahweh, aking Diyos, hinihiling ko pong muli ninyong buhayin ang batang ito.” 22]Dininig ni Yahweh ang dalangin ni Elias at muling nabuhay ang bata. 23]Inakay ni Elias ang bata, at ibinalik sa kanyang ina saka sinabing, “Narito ang anak mo, buháy na siya.” 24]At sumagot ang babae, “Tiyak ko na ngayon na kayo nga ay isang lingkod ng Diyos, at nagsasalita si Yahweh sa pamamagitan ninyo.”

(Wag Mag Alana) Mateo 6:31-34 V31 "Kaya't huwag kayong mag-alalang baka kayo kapusin sa pagkain, inumin o damit. V32 Hindi ba't ang mga Hentil ang nababahala tungkol sa mga bagay na iyan? Alam na ng inyong Ama na nasa langit na kailangan ninyo ang lahat ng iyan. V33 Ngunit higit sa lahat ay pagsikapan ninyo na kayo'y pagharian ng Diyose at mamuhay nang ayon sa kanyang kalooban, at ibibigay niya sa inyo ang lahat ng inyong pangangailangan. v34 "Kaya nga, huwag ninyong ikabalisa ang para sa araw ng bukas; dahil ang bukas ang bahala sa sarili nito.

Now remember Paul pen's these words with the figure of the Greek runner very much in mind. He pictures himself as one who is giving of his best, doing his utmost, making every effort striving for perfection. As far as Paul was concerned it was not " let go, and let God," rather it was exertion and effort. Giving your best, will mean for us:

3) GAIN YOUR PRIZE.

Work of JESUS

1 Mga Taga-Corinto 15:17-20 17]At kung hindi muling binuhay si Cristo, kayo'y hindi pa nalilinis sa inyong mga kasalanan at walang katuturan ang inyong pananampalataya. 18]Hindi lamang iyan, lilitaw pa na ang lahat ng namatay na sumasampalataya kay Cristo ay napahamak. 19]Kung ang pag-asa natin kay Cristo ay para lamang sa buhay na ito, tayo na ang pinakakawawa sa lahat ng tao. 20]Ngunit ngayong si Cristo'y muling binuhay, ito'y katibayan na muling bubuhayin ang mga patay.

1 Peter 2:24-25Christ himself carried our sins in his body to the cross, so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness. It is by his wounds that you have been healed.

1 Pedro 2:24 Sa kanyang pagkamatay sa krus, pinasan niya ang bigat ng ating mga kasalanan upang tayo'y mamatay na sa kasalanan at mamuhay ayon sa kalooban ng Diyos. Kayo'y pinagaling na sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga sugat. 1 Pedro 2:25 Sapagkat kayo ay tulad ng mga tupang naliligaw, ngunit ngayon kayo'y nanumbalik na upang sumunod sa Pastol at Tagapangalaga ng inyong mga kaluluwa.

Now IN CHRIST we are destined:

Eph. 2:10 To do good works-His Works through us “ For we are His workmanship, created IN CHRIST JESUS FOR GOOD WORKS, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”

Mga Taga-Efeso 2:10 Sapagkat tayo'y nilalang ng Diyos; nilikha sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus upang iukol natin ang ating buhay sa paggawa ng mabuti. Iyan ang layuning pinili ng Diyos para sa atin noong una pa man.

"Winning our Family to the Lord"

Mark 5:18-19 NIV 18] As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. 19] Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”

Marcos 5:18 Nang sumasakay na si Jesus sa bangka, nakiusap ang dating sinasapian ng mga demonyo na siya'y isama niya, Marcos 5:19 ngunit hindi pumayag si Jesus. Sa halip ay sinabi niya sa lalaki, “Umuwi ka na at sabihin mo sa iyong mga kamag-anak ang lahat ng ginawa sa iyo ng Panginoon, at kung paano siya nahabag sa iyo.”

THINGS WE NEED TO DO TO WIN OUR FAMILY.

PERSISTENT PRAYERS.

Romans 10:1-2 (NLT) Dear brothers and sisters, the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is that the Jewish people might be saved. I know what enthusiasm they have for God, but it is misdirected zeal.

Mga Taga-Roma 10:1 Mga kapatid, ang pinakananais ko at idinadalangin sa Diyos ay ang maligtas ang Israel. Mga Taga-Roma 10:2 Sapagkat saksi akong sila'y nagsisikap na maging kalugud-lugod sa Diyos. Mali nga lamang ang kanilang naging batayan.

BUILD CONNECTIONS.

1 Corinthians 9:19-23 NIV 19] Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20] To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21] To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. 22] To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23] I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

1 Mga Taga-Corinto 9:19 Malaya ako at di alipin ninuman; ngunit nagpaalipin ako sa lahat upang makahikayat ako ng mas marami sa Panginoon. 1 Mga Taga-Corinto 9:20 Sa piling ng mga Judio, ako'y namumuhay tulad ng isang Judio upang mahikayat ko sila. Kahit na hindi ako saklaw ng Kautusan, nagpailalim ako rito alang-alang sa mga nasa ilalim ng Kautusan, upang mailapit ko sila sa Diyos. 1 Mga Taga-Corinto 9:21 Sa piling naman ng mga Hentil, na hindi saklaw ng Kautusan ni Moises, ako'y naging parang Hentil upang sila'y mahikayat ko rin. Subalit hindi ito nangangahulugang hindi ko sinusunod ang mga utos ng Diyos, sapagkat ako'y nasa ilalim ng kautusan ni Cristo. 1 Mga Taga-Corinto 9:22 Sa piling ng mahihina sa pananampalataya, ako'y naging parang mahina rin upang mahikayat ko sila. Ako'y nakibagay sa lahat ng tao upang sa lahat ng paraan ay makapagligtas ako ng kahit ilan man lamang.

CHANGE YOUR LANGUAGE.

Proverbs 10:11 (NIV) The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.

Mga Kawikaan 10:11 Ang bibig ng matuwid ay bukal ng buhay, ngunit labi ng masama ay nagtatakip ng karahasan.

Proverbs 15:1 (NLT) A gentle answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger.

Mga Kawikaan 15:1 Ang malumanay na sagot, nakapapawi ng galit, ngunit sa tugong marahas, poot ay hindi mawawaglit. Mga Kawikaan 15:2 Ang dila ng may unawa ay nagbubunga ng kaalaman, ngunit ang bibig ng mangmang ay bukal ng kahangalan.

Proverbs 15:4 (NLT) Gentle words bring life and health; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.

Mga Kawikaan 15:4 Ang magiliw na salita ay nagpapasigla sa buhay, ngunit ang matalas na pangungusap ay masakit sa kalooban.

SERVE YOUR FAMILY.

1 Corinthians 9:19 (NLT) This means I am not bound to obey people just because they pay me, yet I have become a servant of everyone so that I can bring them to Christ.

1 Corinthians 9:19 NIV Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.

Accessing Favor from God 2 Kings 2:15

Luke 2:52 NIV And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

2 Mga Hari 2:1 Dumating ang oras na si Elias ay kailangan nang kunin ni Yahweh sa pamamagitan ng ipu-ipo. Noon ay naglalakad sila ni Eliseo buhat sa Gilgal. 2 Mga Hari 2:2 Sinabi ni Elias, “Maiwan ka na rito at ako'y pinapapunta ni Yahweh sa Bethel.”Ngunit sinabi ni Eliseo, “Saksi si Yahweh, ang Diyos na buháy, hanggang buháy ka, hindi ako hihiwalay sa iyo.” At magkasama silang pumunta sa Bethel. 2 Mga Hari 2:3 Sinalubong sila ng mga propeta roon at tinanong nila si Eliseo, “Alam mo bang ang panginoon mo'y kukunin na ngayon ni Yahweh?”“Alam ko, kaya huwag na kayong maingay,” sagot niya. 2 Mga Hari 2:4 Sinabi ni Elias, “Eliseo, maiwan ka na sana rito sapagkat pinapapunta ako ni Yahweh sa Jerico.”Ngunit sinabi niya, “Saksi si Yahweh, ang Diyos na buháy, hanggang buháy ka, hindi ako hihiwalay sa iyo.” Kaya nagpunta silang dalawa sa Jerico. 2 Mga Hari 2:5 Pagdating doon, si Eliseo ay nilapitan ng pangkat ng mga propetang tagaroon at tinanong, “Alam mo bang ang panginoon mo'y kukunin na ngayon ni Yahweh?”“Alam ko. Huwag na kayong maingay,” sagot niya. 2 Mga Hari 2:6 Sinabi muli ni Elias kay Eliseo, “Maiwan ka na rito sapagkat pinapapunta ako ni Yahweh sa Jordan.”Ngunit sinabi niya, “Saksi si Yahweh, ang Diyos na buháy, hanggang buháy ka, hindi ako hihiwalay sa iyo.” At nagpatuloy sila ng paglakad. 2 Mga Hari 2:7 Sinundan sila ng limampung propeta at sila'y tinanaw sa di-kalayuan nang sila'y tumigil sa tabi ng Ilog Jordan. 2 Mga Hari 2:8 Hinubad ni Elias ang kanyang balabal at inihampas sa tubig. Nahawi ang tubig at sila'y tumawid sa tuyong lupa. 2 Mga Hari 2:9 Pagkatawid nila, sinabi ni Elias, “Sabihin mo sa akin kung ano ang ibig mong gawin ko para sa iyo bago ako kunin.”Sumagot si Eliseo, “Kung maaari'y ipamana ninyo sa akin ang dalawang bahagi ng inyong kapangyarihan.” 2 Mga Hari 2:10 Sinabi ni Elias, “Mabigat ang hinihingi mo. Gayunman, kapag nakita mo akong kinuha, mangyayari ang kahilingan mo. Kapag hindi, hindi mo makakamit ang hinihingi mo.” 2 Mga Hari 2:11 Patuloy silang nag-uusap habang naglalakad. Walang anu-ano'y pumagitna sa kanila ang isang karwaheng apoy na hila ng mga kabayong apoy. Nagkahiwalay sila at si Elias ay iniakyat sa langit sa pamamagitan ng ipu-ipo. 2 Mga Hari 2:12 Kitang-kita ito ni Eliseo, kaya't napasigaw siya: “Ama ko! Ama ko! Magiting na tagapagtanggol ng Israel!” At nawala na sa paningin niya si Elias. 2 Mga Hari 2:13 Dinampot niya ang nalaglag na balabal ni Elias at bumalik sa pampang ng Ilog Jordan. 2 Mga Hari 2:14 Hinawakan niya sa isang dulo ang balabal at inihampas sa tubig sabay sabi, “Nasaan si Yahweh, ang Diyos ni Elias?” Nahawi ang tubig at siya'y tumawid. 2 Mga Hari 2:15 Nang makita ito ng mga propetang taga-Jerico na nakatanaw sa di-kalayuan, sinabi nila, “Sumasakanya ang kapangyarihan ni Elias.” Siya'y sinalubong nila at buong paggalang na niyukuran.

2 Mga Hari 2:9 Pagkatawid nila, sinabi ni Elias, “Sabihin mo sa akin kung ano ang ibig mong gawin ko para sa iyo bago ako kunin.”

Sumagot si Eliseo, “Kung maaari'y ipamana ninyo sa akin ang dalawang bahagi ng inyong kapangyarihan.”

*Ano ang mayroon kay Eliseo?

(DESIRE) gusto ni Eliseo na ipapamana sa kanya ni Elias ang dalawang bahagi ng kanyang kapangyarihan

2 Mga Hari 2:9 Pagkatawid nila, sinabi ni Elias, “Sabihin mo sa akin kung ano ang ibig mong gawin ko para sa iyo bago ako kunin.”Sumagot si Eliseo, “Kung maaari'y ipamana ninyo sa akin ang dalawang bahagi ng inyong kapangyarihan.”

Psalm 37:4 NIV Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

(DECISION) pinili ni Eliseo na sumunod kay Elias.

2 Mga Hari 2:6 Sinabi muli ni Elias kay Eliseo, “Maiwan ka na rito sapagkat pinapapunta ako ni Yahweh sa Jordan.

”Ngunit sinabi niya, “Saksi si Yahweh, ang Diyos na buháy, hanggang buháy ka, hindi ako hihiwalay sa iyo.” At nagpatuloy sila ng paglakad.

"Different but One"

(Ibaiba ngunit iisa)

1 Mga Taga-Corinto 12:4-12 4]Iba't iba ang mga espiritwal na kaloob, ngunit iisa lamang ang Espiritung nagkakaloob ng mga ito.

(Paglilingkod)

[5]Iba't iba ang paraan ng paglilingkod, ngunit iisa lamang ang Panginoong pinaglilingkuran.

(Gawain)

[6]Iba't iba ang mga gawaing iniatas, ngunit iisa lamang ang Diyos na kumikilos sa mga taong gumagawa ng mga iyon.

(Ikabubuti ng Lahat)

[7]Para sa ikabubuti ng lahat, ang bawat isa'y binigyan ng kaloob na nagpapakitang nasa kanya ang Espiritu.

(Pinagkalooban)

[8]Ang ilan sa atin napagkalooban ng kakayahang magsalita ng mensahe ng karunungan. Ang iba naman ay pinagkalooban ng katalinuhan. Subalit iisang Espiritu ang nagkakaloob nito.

(Espiritu )

[9]Ang Espiritu ring iyon ang nagkakaloob sa iba ng pananampalataya sa Diyos, at sa iba'y ang kapangyarihang magpagaling sa mga maysakit. [10] - May pinagkalooban ng kapangyarihang gumawa ng mga himala; - may pinagkalooban din ng kakayahang magpahayag ng mensaheng mula sa Diyos, at - may pinagkalooban naman ng kakayahang malaman kung aling kaloob ang mula sa Espiritu at kung alin ang hindi. - May pinagkalooban ng kakayahang magsalita sa iba't ibang mga wika, at sa - iba naman ay ang magpaliwanag ng mga wikang iyon.

(Isang Espiritu)

11]Ngunit isang Espiritu lamang ang gumagawa ng lahat ng ito at namamahagi ng iba't ibang kaloob sa bawat isa, ayon sa kanyang ipinasya.

(Si Christo’y isa lamang katawan)

[12]Si Cristo'y tulad ng isang katawan na may maraming bahagi. Kahit na binubuo ng iba't ibang bahagi, ito ay nananatiling iisang katawan.

THE PROMISED OUTCOME OF TRIALS!

James 1:2-4 NIV 2] Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3] because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4] Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Santiago 1:1 Mula kay Santiago, alipin ng Diyos at ng Panginoong Jesu-Cristo:Ipinapaabot ko ang aking pagbati sa labindalawang liping hinirang ng Diyos na nasa iba't ibang bansa. Santiago 1:2 Mga kapatid, magalak kayo kapag kayo'y dumaranas ng iba't ibang uri ng pagsubok. Santiago 1:3 Dapat ninyong malaman na napatatatag ang ating pananampalataya sa pamamagitan ng mga pagsubok. Santiago 1:4 At dapat kayong magpakatatag hanggang wakas upang kayo'y maging ganap at walang pagkukulang.

James tells us that when trials come they always have a divine purpose.

He says in verse 3, Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

(The word knowing speaks of understanding.)

James is saying, I want you to understand that when trials come they are not without rhyme or reason.

God always has a purpose in the trials that come our way.

There is the promised outcome of our trials.

(What is the purpose of trials in our life?)

James explains three things that trials produce in our life.

A. Trials Produce Spiritual Purity.

James speaks of the trying of your faith in verse 3.

The word trying speaks of the purging effect of trials. The picture behind the word is that of precious metals being heated in order for the impurities to be removed.

Someone has said that God puts us on our back that we might look up. God has his ways of getting our attention and He has his ways to working on things in our life. Trials are often the way He accomplishes this work.

Francis Thompson says sorrow, loss and disappointment were "Hounds of Heaven" sent to bring the wanderer back to the haven of peace from which he strayed. Again, trials have a purifying affect.

We also see that,

B. Trials Produce Spiritual Stability.

James also tells us in verse 3 that our trials worketh patience. The word patience speaks of perseverance. James is telling us that one of the ways God makes strong Christians is through trials.

(Eph. 6:1 - 9 Message) - Family - Slave - Master

(Ephesians 6:10 says,) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

(How are we made strong?)

As someone has said,

Trials are the divine gymnasium whereby we develop our spiritual muscles.

C. Trials Produce Spiritual Maturity.

In verse 4 James says,

But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James used the word perfect twice in the verse. It is a word that means, complete, full grown.

James is talking about spiritual maturity. He does not want the believer to be lacking, but complete and living a full Christian life.

Airplanes take off by overcoming the resistance of gravity and wind. Yet once they become airborne, that wind lifts them higher. Trials have a way of lifting us higher and higher.

(Trials are part of Gods way of helping us mature spiritually. )

THE POTTER HOUSE Jer. 18:1-6

Jer 18:1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: Jer 18:2 "Go down to the potter's house, and there I will give you my message." Jer 18:3 So I went down to the potter's house, and I saw him working at the wheel. Jer 18:4 But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. Jer 18:5 Then the word of the LORD came to me: Jer 18:6 "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?" declares the LORD. "Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.

(THE MESSAGE TRANSLATION)

Jer 18:1 The LORD said to me, Jer 18:2 "Go down to the potter's house, where I will give you my message." Jer 18:3 So I went there and saw the potter working at his wheel. Jer 18:4 Whenever a piece of pottery turned out imperfect, he would take the clay and make it into something else. Jer 18:5 Then the LORD said to me, Jer 18:6 "Don't I have the right to do with you people of Israel what the potter did with the clay? You are in my hands just like clay in the potter's hands.

Intro:

God uses many images to describe His relationship to His people.

He speaks of the shepherd and sheep relationship,
the husband and wife relationship,
a Father and His children, just to name a few.

All of these are blessed and teach us many needed and valuable lessons about life, ourselves and our Lord.

However, while we like sheep are protected and provided for by the shepherd, and as a wife, we are loved without condition by the husband and like children we are constantly under the Father's loving watch care.

The Mission OF The Potter The Ministry OF The Potter The Message OF The Potter

V1-3 THE MISSION OF THE POTTER

A. His Intent - > The Potter has a singular purpose.

He desires to produce vessels that will be found useful, and that will bring honor unto Himself.

The pieces he manufactures are pieces that will be used by Himself and others.

This is God's intention as well.

He excels in taking old worthless clay and transforming it by His grace into vessels of honor and glory. He takes those things that are the "offscouring of all things",

1 Cor. 4:13, and turns them into vessels of honor. Jesus saves the sinner by His grace and then He begins the process of changing that vile sinner into a vessel that will produce a profit for the Kingdom of God, one that will be useful to Him in His work, and one that brings honor and glory to His Name.

B. His Ingredients –

In order to accomplish this lofty goal, the Potter must work with materials that leave much to be desired. The condition of the clay as it is found.

In other words, the clay, as it is taken from the ground, is worthless.

It must be transformed into a useable state and this is a process that takes time and energy on the part of the Potter.

This is a perfect portrait of sinners. We are worthless to God in our natural condition. However, He is able to see the vessels the we can become.

Therefore, He begins the process that will bring us to a place of usefulness.

C. His Instruments – The potter uses several implements to bring the clay to a place where it is usable.

A Shovel
This is the tool he uses to dig the clay from the earth.
A Mallet
After the clay has been cleansed and processed, it is lain on a table and beaten with a wooden mallet.

The Potter does this to remove any air bubbles that might be trapped in the clay. If he doesn't the air bubble will form a pocket that will produce a weak spot and cause the vessel to be fragile and unusable.

The Wheels
(Describe the wheels - A large bottom stone, usually made of stone, is mounted upon a shaft that sits in a stone socket.

The Potter, using his feet, spins the large, lower wheel. As he does, the upper wheel is turne

Keep On Sowing

Psa. 126:5-6

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

He that goeth forth and weepeth,

bearing precious seed,

shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,

bringing his sheaves with him.

Mga Awit 126:5 - Silang tumatangis habang nagsisipagtanim, - hayaan mo na mag-ani na puspos ng kagalakan. Mga Awit 126:6 - Silang mga nagsihayong dala'y binhi't nananangis, - ay aawit na may galak, dala'y ani pagbalik!

John 11:35-36 NIV 35] Jesus wept. 36] Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”

Isn’t it amazing how a little seed can be planted, and you think it is never going to come up, then one day you notice the ground cracking, and a little sprig is coming through.

We used to throw our watermelon rinds over the fence for the stock to eat.

If we will be faithful in sowing God will surely take care of the seed and see that it will come up.

Isa. 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void,

but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

PETITIONS IN PRAYER:

1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.

A. He Requested GRACE: 1 Chronicles 4:10A (Oh that thou would wouldest bless me indeed")

B. He Requested GROWTH: 1 Chronicles 4:10B ( "Enlarge my coast".)

The word ’enlarge’ means simply to make larger, His desire was to reach out beyond himself...to expand his sphere of influence.

C. He Requested GUIDANCE 1 Chronicles 4:10C (and that thine hand might be with me)

D. He Requested GODLINESS: 1 Chronicles 4:10D (and that thou wouldest keep me from evil,)

Jabez was aware of the power of evil and the fact that God could deliver him.

Gods Response 1 Chronicles 4:10E And God granted him that which he requested

POWERFUL PRAYERS ARE THE KEY TO EVERY ASPECT IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE

You Are Important to God

INTRODUCTION:

What ever happen Today , after 6moths There's good news today! “You are important to God!” He values you highly!

I. YOU ARE IMPORTANT TO GOD BECAUSE “HE CREATED YOU IN HIS IMAGE.”

A. You are God's highest creation.

Mga Awit 8:4 Ano ba ang tao upang iyong pahalagahan; o ang anak ng tao upang iyong pangalagaan? Mga Awit 8:5 Nilikha mo siyang mababa sa iyo nang kaunti, pinuspos mo siya ng dangal at ng luwalhati. Mga Awit 8:6 Ginawa mo siyang pinuno ng lahat ng iyong nilikha, sa lahat ng mga bagay, siya ang iyong pinamahala: Mga Awit 8:7 mga tupa at kawan pati na ang mababangis, Mga Awit 8:8 lahat ng ibong lumilipad, at mga isda sa karagatan, at lahat ng nilikhang nasa karagatan. Mga Awit 8:9 O Yahweh, na aming Panginoon, sa buong mundo'y tunay kang dakila!

B. The Bible speaks of mankind as the offspring of God.

Mga Gawa 17:26 Mula sa isang tao'y nilikha niya ang lahat ng lahi sa buong mundo. Itinakda niya sa simula't simula pa ang kani-kanilang panahon at hangganan. Mga Gawa 17:27 Ginawa niya iyon upang hanapin nila ang Diyos; baka sakaling sa kanilang paghahanap, siya ay matagpuan nila. Ang totoo, hindi naman siya talagang malayo sa bawat isa sa atin; Mga Gawa 17:28 sapagkat, ‘Hawak niya ang ating buhay, pagkilos at pagkatao.’Tulad ng sinabi ng ilan sa inyong mga makata, ‘Tayo nga'y mga anak niya.’ Mga Gawa 17:29 Sapagkat tayo'y mga anak ng Diyos, huwag nating akalaing siya ay tulad lamang ng mga larawang ginto, pilak, o bato na pawang likha ng isip at kamay ng tao.

Genesis 1:27 Nilalang nga ng Diyos ang tao ayon sa kanyang larawan. Sila'y kanyang nilalang na isang lalaki at isang babae,

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."

II. YOU ARE IMPORTANT TO GOD “BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOUR EVERYDAY NEEDS.”

A. God providentially cares for the needs of mankind.

Mateo 5:45 upang kayo'y maging tunay na mga anak ng inyong Ama na nasa langit. Sapagkat pinasisikat niya ang araw sa mabubuti gayon din sa masasama, at nagpapaulan siya sa mga matuwid at sa mga di-matuwid.

Mga Gawa 14:17 Gayunman, nagbigay siya ng sapat na katibayan upang makilala ninyo siya sa pamamagitan ng kabutihang ginagawa niya sa inyo. Binibigyan niya kayo ng ulan mula sa langit at ng masaganang ani sa takdang panahon. Binubusog niya kayo ng pagkain at pinupuno ng kagalakan ang inyong mga puso.”

III. YOU ARE IMPORTANT TO GOD “BECAUSE HE LOVED YOU SO MUCH THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON TO DIE FOR YOUR SINS.”

A. We are all lost and in need of salvation.

Mga Taga-Roma 3:22 Pinapawalang-sala ng Diyos ang lahat ng sumasampalataya kay Jesu-Cristo, sa pamamagitan ng kanilang pananalig sa kanya, maging Judio man o Hentil. Mga Taga-Roma 3:23 Sapagkat ang lahat ay nagkasala, at walang sinumang nakaabot sa kaluwalhatian ng Diyos. Mga Taga-Roma 3:24 Ngunit dahil sa kanyang kagandahang-loob, sila ay pinawalang-sala na niya sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus na siyang nagpapalaya sa kanila.

Mga Taga-Roma 6:22 Ngunit ngayong pinalaya na kayo mula sa kasalanan at naging alipin na ng Diyos, ang natamo ninyo'y isang buhay na banal at ang ibinubunga nito'y buhay na walang hanggan. Mga Taga-Roma 6:23 Sapagkat kamatayan ang kabayaran ng kasalanan, ngunit ang libreng kaloob ng Diyos ay buhay na walang hanggan, sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus na ating Panginoon.

Mga Taga-Efeso 2:4 Subalit napakasagana ng habag ng Diyos at napakadakila ng pag-ibig niya sa atin. Mga Taga-Efeso 2:5 Tayo'y binuhay niyang kasama ni Cristo noong tayo'y mga patay pa dahil sa ating pagsuway. Naligtas nga kayo dahil sa kanyang kagandahang-loob. Mga Taga-Efeso 2:6 Dahil sa ating pakikipag-isa kay Cristo Jesus, tayo'y muling binuhay na kasama niya upang mamunong kasama niya sa kalangitan. Mga Taga-Efeso 2:7 Ginawa niya ito upang sa darating na mga panahon ay maipakita niya ang di-masukat na kasaganaan ng kanyang kagandahang-loob, sa pag-ibig niya

HELPS TO THE HELPLESS

Mga Awit 121:1 Do'n sa mga burol, ako'y napatingin— sasaklolo sa akin, saan manggagaling? Mga Awit 121:2 Ang hangad kong tulong, kay Yahweh magmumula, sa Diyos na lumikha ng langit at ng lupa. Mga Awit 121:3 Di niya ako hahayaang mabuwal, siya'y di matutulog, ako'y babantayan. Mga Awit 121:4 Ang tagapagtanggol ng bayang Israel, hindi natutulog at palaging gising! Mga Awit 121:5 Si Yahweh ang ating Tagapag-ingat, laging nasa piling, upang magsanggalang. Mga Awit 121:6 Di ka maaano sa init ng araw, kung gabi ay di ka sasaktan ng buwan. Mga Awit 121:7 Si Yahweh ang siyang sa iyo'y mag-iingat, sa mga panganib, ika'y ililigtas. Mga Awit 121:8 Si Yahweh ang siyang sa iyo'y mag-iingat saanman naroon, ika'y iingatan, di ka maaano kahit na kailan.

Psalm 121:1-8 NIV 1] I lift up my eyes to the mountains---where does my help come from? 2] My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. 3] He will not let your foot slip---he who watches over you will not slumber; 4] indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5] The Lord watches over you---the Lord is your shade at your right hand; 6] the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7] The Lord will keep you from all harm---he will watch over your life; 8] the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

I am going to give you three truths this …. that will carry you through the stormy seas and the furious floods that you are going to face in life.

The Lord is my Provider
The Lord is my Protector
The Lord is my PRESERVER
THE LORD IS MY PROVIDER

The writer makes a statement, “ I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills.” Then he breaks off and asks a question, “ from whence cometh my help.” Where I am going to find help ?

Jeremias 3:23 Walang naitulong sa amin ang mga diyus-diyosang sinasamba namin sa kaburulan. Si Yahweh lamang na aming Diyos, ang tunay na kaligtasan ng Israel. Jeremias 3:24 Dahil sa aming pagsamba kay Baal, nawala sa amin ang lahat ng bagay na pinaghirapan ng aming mga magulang, mula pa noong una—ang aming mga anak, mga hayop at mga kawan.

Jer. 3:23 “ Truly, in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains; Truly, in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.”

God will give us exactly the three things that all of us need to overcome. First of all He will gave us,

SECURITY:

“ My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.” (121:2 )

I'm talking about the God who is higher than the hills, mightier than the mountains, above all the armies, greater than all the generals.

I'm talking about the God who created this world with a word, and one day will cremate this world with a whisper.

I'm talking about the God of whom Jeremiah said, “ Ah, Lord God! Behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by Thy great power and stretched out arm.

Jeremias 32:17 si Jeremias ay nanalangin: “Panginoong Yahweh, nilikha mo ang langit at ang lupa sa pamamagitan ng iyong kapangyarihan. Walang bagay na mahirap para sa iyo.

There is nothing too hard for Thee.” (Jer. 32:17 )

Psalm 115:3 But our God is in the heavens; He hath done whatsoever He hath please.

Mga Awit 115:3 Ang Diyos nami'y nasa langit, naroroon ang Diyos namin, at ang kanyang ginagawa ay kung ano ang ibigin.

Mga Awit 121:3 Di niya ako hahayaang mabuwal, siya'y di matutulog, ako'y babantayan.“

( Pro 3:25-26, ) “ Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the consolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.” My …. the feet that are standing on the solid Rock of Ages can neither slip nor stumble. When others are falling like flies, the man of God w

"Miracles through Thanksgiving"

Luke 17:11-18 Healing of Ten lepers.

Many experience God's blessings, but only a few show gratitude.

Lucas 17:11-19 [11]Sa paglalakbay ni Jesus papuntang Jerusalem, nagdaan siya sa hangganan ng Samaria at Galilea. [12]Nang papasok na siya sa isang nayon, sinalubong siya ng sampung ketongin. Tumigil ang mga ito sa may kalayuan [13]at sumigaw, “Jesus! Panginoon! Mahabag po kayo sa amin!” [14]Pagkakita sa kanila ay sinabi ni Jesus, “Lumakad na kayo at magpatingin sa mga pari.”Habang sila'y naglalakad, silang lahat ay gumaling at luminis.

Nagbalik upang Mag pasalamat

[15]Nang mapuna ng isa na siya'y magaling na, nagbalik siyang sumisigaw ng pagpupuri sa Diyos.

Pag Galang at Pasasalamat

[16]Nagpatirapa siya sa paanan ni Jesus at nagpasalamat. Ang taong ito'y isang Samaritano. [17]“Hindi ba't sampu ang aking pinagaling at nilinis?” tanong ni Jesus. “Nasaan ang siyam?

Wag Makalimot upang Mag pasalamat

[18]Wala bang nagbalik upang magpuri sa Diyos kundi ang dayuhang ito?” [19]Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Tumayo ka na at umuwi. Pinagaling ka ng iyong pananampalataya.”

Pasasalamat sa Pang araw araw na Himala

Juan 6:11 [11]Kinuha ni Jesus ang tinapay at matapos magpasalamat sa Diyos ay ipinamahagi iyon sa mga tao. Gayundin ang ginawa niya sa isda. Nakakain ang lahat at nabusog.

Pasasalamat sa Kaligtasan at Paglago sa Pananampalataya

Mga Taga-Efeso 1:15-16 [15]Kaya nga, mula nang mabalitaan ko ang tungkol sa inyong pananalig sa Panginoong Jesus at ang inyong pag-ibig sa lahat ng kanyang mga banal, [16]walang tigil ang pasasalamat ko sa Diyos para sa inyo tuwing ipinapanalangin ko kayo.

Sa Diyos ang Papuri at Pasasalamat

Thanksgiving is needed, and think there is something we ought to consider.

A believer has much to be thankful for;

(1) salvation. (2) privilege of service. (3) daily provision of every need.

(5) family and friends who love you. (6) answered prayers.

The Peace Of God Philippians 4:6-7

Philippians 4:6-7 NIV 6] Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7] And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

There may be an absence of peace in many corners of the world, but I would like to say that does not have to be an absence of peace in your heart.

(Different occasions God is called the “God of peace.)

-The Peace of GOD as a Gift -The Peace of GOD as Guard -The Peace of GOD as a Guide

Because our God is a “God of peace” we can experience the “peace of God.”

Let’s look into God’s Word and examine this peace we can have.

THE PEACE OF GOD AS A GIFT

The first thing that needs to be understood is that peace is a gift from God.

(The source of peace is God.) The simple truth of the matter is that there can be no real peace apart from God.

He alone is the source of peace. Peace is something that God gives us.

Ephesians 1:2 “Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.”

(Again, peace is something God gives us.)

What kind of peace does God give?

I find there are two expressions of peace that God gives.

(First, there is a)

A. Judicial Gift of Peace

We read in Romans 5:1 “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

(We see the matter of “peace with God.)

The word “peace” describes an inner quietness, restfulness, and tranquility.

Literally the word means to “be joined together” or “joined as one.”

The picture is two, that have been estranged being brought together in a quiet and tranquil relationship.

It could be two nations that have been at war with one another and peace is reached between the nations, or two people that have been enemies being reconciled.

There is a quietness, rest, and tranquility because there has been a joining together or reconciliation between two parties.

When the Bible says that we have “peace with God” is describing how once we were separated from God but now have been brought into a relationship with God.

Once we were as Ephesians 2:3 described as the “children of wrath.” But now we are as

Romans 8:16 declares, the “children of God.” Once we were at war with God, but now we have peace with God. We are at one with God. We have been brought together in a peaceful relationship.

Romans 5:1 again, you see that our peace with God is due to our being justified. When the Bible speaks of justification it is simply speaking of how we have been declared righteous.

To be declared righteous means that when God looks at us He no longer sees us as a sinner.

Because we have been justified and have received peace with God, there is no record of our sins and sinful past.

They all have been cleansed through the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise God I can say that having been justified, I have peace with God.

(Secondly, we see the matter of an)

Experiential Gift of Peace

There is not only “peace with God” but also the “peace of God.”

Because we have “peace with God” we can experience the “peace of God.”

When you think about “peace with God” you think of something that is a fact in our life.

When you think of the “peace of God” you think of something that is a force in our life.

The peace of God is an inward experience of quietness, restfulness and tranquility.

The peace of God is not just something we find. It is also something we feel.

The peace of God is that which we experience in difficult and distressing times of life that fills our heart with a quietness, restfulness, and tranquility.

SEARCH DILIGENTLY FOR WISDOM AND FIND IT.

Proverbs 3:13-14 NIV 13] Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, 14] for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.

Proverbs 4:5-8 NIV 5] Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. 6] Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. 7] The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. 8] Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you.

James 1:5-8 NIV

5] If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6] But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7] That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8] Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

Definition of Faithfulness:

keeping faith; maintaining allegiance; constant; loyal

Proverbs 3:3-5 NIV 3] Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. 4] Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. 5] Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART.

V 5-6 Living by faith is the hardest thing to live by—

My faith gets weak in times of trials– troubles 2 Timothy 2:19-21 NIV 19] Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.” 20] In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. 21] Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

How Do You Respond During Times of Trouble? 2 Corinthians 1:4

2 Corinthians 1:3-5 NIV 3] Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4] who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 5] For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.

2 Mga Taga-Corinto 1:3 Purihin natin ang Diyos at Ama ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo, ang mahabaging Ama at Diyos na pinagmumulan ng lahat ng kaaliwan. 2 Mga Taga-Corinto 1:4 Inaaliw niya tayo sa ating mga kapighatian upang sa pamamagitan ng kaaliwang tinanggap natin sa kanya ay makatulong naman tayo sa mga nahahapis. 2 Mga Taga-Corinto 1:5 Sapagkat kung gaano karami ang aming paghihirap dahil sa aming pakikipag-isa kay Cristo, gayundin naman karami ang aming kaaliwan kay Cristo.

"He comforts (consoles and encourages) us in every trouble (calamity and affliction), so that we may be able to comfort (console and encourage) those who are in any kind of trouble or distress, with the comfort (consolation and encouragement) with which we ourselves are comforted by God." (2 Cor. 1:4)

If God allowed us to go through all our life without any obstacles, that would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. Not only that, we could never fly.

1 Pet. 1:7 "These trials are only to test your faith,

to show that it is strong and pure. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold -- and your faith is far more precious to God than mere gold"

Thank God that when He looks at us in His eternal perspective through the blood-stained glasses, stained by the blood of Jesus, He does not see our dirt, but sees something more precious than gold.

The following are some suggested responses to afflictions:

Let the Lord take away the pain of your afflictions.

He is the Father of sympathy. He pities us in our weakness. He showers us with mercy and goodness all the days of our life. We can sing of the mercy of the Lord forever. His comfort is a balm that heals us from every hurt and sooths our nerves and calms our emotions. He reduces stress with the peace that passes understanding so that our hearts and minds are guarded in Christ Jesus.

Paul writes, "Who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we have received from God.

For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.” (2 Cor. 1 :4,5)

Believe that the Lord will use the affliction for a greater good.

Paul writes, "God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purposes. (Rom. 8:28)

Thank God for the ways that He will use the affliction for building Godly character in you.

James writes, "Consider it pure joy when you encounter trials of many kinds knowing that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Let endurance have its perfect work that you may be complete lacking in nothing. (James 1:2,3)

Follow the example of great men like the apostle Paul who turned affliction to his advantage.

Paul writes, "As sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as beaten down and yet not killed, as being poor yet making many rich; having nothing and yet possessing all things. (2 Cor. 6:5-10)

Draw nearer to God in prayer through times of affliction.

David writes, "O Lord my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me, or they will tear me like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me. (Psa. 7: 1,2) O Lord, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death. (Psa. 9: 13) Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge. (Psa. 16: 1)

Ask the Lord to fight your battles and it will relieve your stress. David writes,

"Contend, O

Friday :

" FOREVER IS COVENANT "

."God never enters into a permanent relationship apart from a covenant."

Psalm 25:12-14 NIV 12] Who, then, are those who fear the Lord? He will instruct them in the ways they should choose. 13] They will spend their days in prosperity, and their descendants will inherit the land. 14] The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.

David was a man of 5 positive covenants and he never lost a battle.

David had a covenant with God.
David had a covenant with Jonathan.
David had a covenant with his men at Ziklag
David had a covenant with the tribe of Judah
David had a covenant with the whole tribe of Israel

Wednesday : “Vertical or Downward Covenant"

This covenant is initiated by God Himself .

Genesis 17:9- 10 9] And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. 10] This [is] my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

Genesis 17:7 NIV - God Will establish I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.

(Tipanan) New covenat by His Blood. God has provided the sacrifice in Christ Jesus who shed his blood on the cross for us.

1 Corinthians 11:25 NIV In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

Through this sacrifice we can enter into this covenant on Gods term in order to establish our relationship with God.

Gods provisions of - power, - miracles, - healings, - good success - and prosperity

have been given to us as we receive and accept this covenant.

" COVENANT "

Psalm 25:13-14 NIV 13] They will spend their days in prosperity, and their descendants will inherit the land. 14] The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.

Horizontal or Human Level Covenant

It is a covenant made between - two persons, - families, - clans or - tribes. This kind of covenant nearly approaches the concept of a contract.

(This is also known as a covenant of mutual friendship.)

The basis of such friendship or relationship is a covenant.

(Hiram and Solomon)

1 Mga Hari 5:5 Kaya binabalak kong ipagtayo ng isang templo si Yahweh na aking Diyos. Gaya ng pangako niya sa aking ama, ‘Ang anak mo na pauupuin ko sa iyong trono bilang kahalili ang siyang magtatayo ng aking Templo.’ 1 Mga Hari 5:6 Kaya hinihiling ko sa inyong Kamahalan na bigyan ako ng mga tauhang puputol ng mga sedar sa Lebanon. Babayaran ko sila sa halagang itatakda ninyo. Tutulong sa kanila ang mga tauhan ko sapagkat hindi sila sanay magputol ng mga punongkahoy tulad ng mga taga-Sidon.” 1 Mga Hari 5:7 Lubos na ikinatuwa ni Hiram nang marinig niya ang kahilingang iyon ni Solomon. Kaya't sinabi niya, “Purihin si Yahweh sa araw na ito sapagkat binigyan niya si David ng isang anak na marunong mamahala sa kanyang dakilang sambayanan!” 1 Mga Hari 5:8 At ganito ang naging tugon ni Hiram kay Solomon: “Natanggap ko ang iyong mensahe. Handa akong magbigay sa inyo ng lahat ng kailangan ninyong kahoy na sedar at sipres. 1 Mga Hari 5:9 Ilulusong ng aking mga tauhan ang mga troso buhat sa Lebanon hanggang sa dagat. Buhat naman doon ay babalsahin hanggang sa daungan na inyong mapili. Pagdating doon, saka paghihiwa-hiwalayin upang inyong ipahakot. Bilang kapalit, bibigyan naman ninyo ako ng mga pagkain para sa aking mga tauhan.” 1 Mga Hari 5:10 Kaya't pinadalhan ni Hiram si Solomon ng lahat ng kahoy na sedar at sipres na kailangan nito. 1 Mga Hari 5:11 Taun-taon naman ay pinadadalhan ni Solomon si Hiram ng 100,000 takal ng trigo at 110,000 galong langis ng olibo para sa mga tauhan nito.

1 Mga Hari 5:12 Si Solomon nga'y binigyan ni Yahweh ng karunungan tulad ng kanyang ipinangako. Naging magkaibigan sina Solomon at Hiram, at gumawa sila ng kasunduan ng pagkakaibigan.

And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together. (1 Kings 5:12 KJV)

And Jehovah gave wisdom to Solomon, as He had spoken to him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they cut a covenant, the two of them.

(1 Kings 5:12 LTIV)

Jonathan and David

1 Samuel 18:2 Mula noon, hindi na pinauwi ni Saul si David. 1 Samuel 18:3 Dahil sa pagmamahal ni Jonatan kay David, isinumpa niya na sila'y magiging magkaibigan habang buhay. 1 Samuel 18:4 Ibinigay niya kay David ang kanyang balabal at kagamitang pandigma, pati ang kanyang tabak, pana at sinturon. 1 Samuel 18:5 Nagtatagumpay si David kahit saang labanan siya ipadala ni Saul, kaya siya'y ginawa nitong pinuno ng mga kawal. Ang pagkataas niya sa tungkulin ay ikinagalak ng buong Israel, mula sa pangkaraniwang mamamayan hanggang sa mga opisyal sa palasyo. 1 Samuel 18:6 Matapos mapatay ni David si Goliat, nagbalik na si Haring Saul at ang kanyang mga tauhan. Sa bawat bayang madaanan nila, sinasalubong sila ng mga kababaihang umaawit at sumasayaw sa saliw ng mga tamburin at alpa. 1 Samuel 18:7 Ganito ang kanilang awit: “Pumatay si Saul ng libu-libo, si David nama'y sampu-sampung libo.” 1 Samuel 18:8 Hindi nagustuhan ni Saul ang sinasabi sa awit. Labis niya itong ikinagalit at sinabi niya, “Kung sinasabi nilang sampu-sampung libo ang pinatay ni David at ako'y libu-libo lang, kulang na lamang na siya'y kilalanin nilang hari.” 1 Samuel 18:9 At mula noon ay naging masama ang kanyang pagtingin kay David.

(Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.)

And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that [was] upon him, and gave it to David, and his

John 3:2-4 NIV 2] He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” 3] Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. ” 4] “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother's womb to be born!”

2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV 16] All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17] so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Mga Taga-Galacia 3:2-7 2]Sabihin nga ninyo, tinanggap ba ninyo ang Espiritu sa pamamagitan ng mga gawa ayon sa Kautusan o

sa pamamagitan ng inyong pananalig sa inyong narinig tungkol kay Cristo? 3]Talagang napakahangal ninyo! Nagsimula na kayo sa Espiritu, at ngayo'y nais pa ninyong magtapos sa pamamagitan ng inyong sariling lakas! 4]Wala na bang halaga sa inyo ang maraming bagay na pinagtiisan ninyo? Mayroon pa naman siguro. 5]Bakit ipinagkaloob sa inyo ng Diyos ang Espiritu? Bakit siya gumagawa ng mga himala? Dahil ba sa inyong mga gawa ayon sa Kautusan, o dahil sa inyong pananalig sa inyong narinig tungkol kay Cristo? 6]Tulad ng nangyari kay Abraham, “Sumampalataya siya sa Diyos, at dahil dito, siya'y itinuring ng Diyos na taong matuwid.” 7]Kung gayon, maliwanag na ang mga nananalig sa Diyos ang siyang tunay na lahi ni Abraham.

Mga Taga-Galacia 5:16 Sinasabi ko sa inyo, ang Espiritu ang gawin ninyong patnubay sa inyong buhay at hindi kayo magiging alipin ng hilig ng laman. Mga Taga-Galacia 5:17 Sapagkat ang mga nasa ng laman ay laban sa kalooban ng Espiritu, at ang kalooban ng Espiritu ay laban sa mga nasa ng laman. Laging naglalaban ang dalawang ito kaya't hindi ninyo magawâ ang nais ninyong gawin. Mga Taga-Galacia 5:18 Kung pinapatnubayan kayo ng Espiritu, wala na kayo sa ilalim ng Kautusan. Mga Taga-Galacia 5:19 Hindi maikakaila ang mga hilig ng laman: pakikiapid, kahalayan at kalaswaan; Mga Taga-Galacia 5:20 pagsamba sa diyus-diyosan, pangkukulam, pagkapoot sa isa't isa, pag-aaway-away, pagseselos, pagkakagalit at kasakiman, pagkakampi-kampi at pagkakabaha-bahagi, Mga Taga-Galacia 5:21 pagkainggit, paglalasing, kalayawan, at iba pang katulad nito. Muli ko kayong binabalaan: ang gumagawa ng mga ito ay hindi magkakaroon ng bahagi sa kaharian ng Diyos. Mga Taga-Galacia 5:22 Subalit ang bunga ng Espiritu ay pag-ibig, kagalakan, kapayapaan, katiyagaan, kabaitan, kabutihan, katapatan, Mga Taga-Galacia 5:23 kahinahunan, at pagpipigil sa sarili. Walang batas laban sa mga ito. Mga Taga-Galacia 5:24 At pinatay na ng mga nakipag-isa kay Cristo Jesus ang kanilang makasariling pagkatao, pati na ang mga masasamang hilig nito. Mga Taga-Galacia 5:25 Kung ang Espiritu ang nagbibigay-buhay sa atin, siya na rin ang paghariin natin sa ating buhay.

Psalm 37:3-6 NIV

Trust IN the Lord and DO good; dwell in the land and ENJOY SAFE PASTURE.

Life is Amazing WINNING IS OUR CALLING.

(Safety Living on God's WILL)

A. Be Willing To Obey.

Acts 9:8-9 NIV 8] Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9] For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.

Saul wanted Gods will.
To genuinely do His will, we must put our will aside and be will to do all that He asks us to do.

B. Display A Spirit Of Meekness

That is, be teachable Psalm 25:9 NIV He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.

Saul - He displayed a teachable spirit.

(Note) If you arent teachable, and think you know it all already, then you will probably never know His will.

(You walk according to your Will)

C. God use some Body to pray and Guide you (honor them)

Earnestly, sincerely pray for Gods guidance. (Ananias, Bernabe)

COURSES IN LIFE

TO BE SAVED OR TO BE LOST.

Nature forms us. Sin deforms us.

School informs us, but only Christ transforms us.”

But continue thou in the things thou hast learned! Go the distance…stay the course, fight a good fight, finish the course!

(Salvation is Act of Trusting Christ)

Mga Gawa 16:29 Humingi ng ilaw ang bantay, patakbong pumasok at nanginginig na nagpatirapa sa harapan nina Pablo at Silas. Mga Gawa 16:30 Sila ay inilabas niya at sinabi, “Mga ginoo, ano po ang dapat kong gawin upang ako'y maligtas?”

Mga Gawa 16:31 Sumagot naman sila, “Sumampalataya ka sa Panginoong Jesus, at maliligtas ka, ikaw at ang iyong sambahayan.”

Mga Gawa 16:32 At ang salita ng Panginoon ay ipinahayag nila sa kanya at sa lahat ng nasa kanyang bahay.

Acts 16:30-31 - Asking is Desiring to know When the Philippian Jailer cried out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

Paul responded by saying, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ” (Acts 16:30-31)

The Bible tells us in 1 John 5:1, “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God.”

The Bible says in Romans 10:10, “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

Jesus Himself said in John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”

What does the Bible mean by believing on the Lord Jesus?

First, let me say that it is more than believing about Jesus.

It is possible to believe everything I say about Jesus and everything the Bible says about Him and not be saved.

Salvation is more than just believing that Jesus was real and all that He said is true. James said “

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble” (James 2:19).

Salvation is not believing about Jesus, but believing on Jesus.

Let me explain.

The word “believeth” means “to have faith” or to “trust in.” Let me put it another way.

To believe on Christ is to place your spiritual well-being to the Lord Jesus.

Sunday Service Message - Jericho - Bishop Jimmy Evangelista

M.W.F Series: " God's Magnificent Goal."

Ephesians 4:13: "Until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ"

Monday: (The Growing Process)

Friday "The Pathway of Growth"

James 1:2-3 NIV 2] Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3] because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

The Lord has given us three pathway cause us to grow to full maturity in Christ:

(Circumstances)

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:28- 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined TO BE CONFORMED TO THE LIKENESS OF HIS SON, that he might be the first born among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified"

James 1:2-4 NIV 2] Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3] because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4] Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

The Lord uses the circumstances and problems of life that we face as molding instruments.

We can not avoid this, it will come.

Sometimes it comes unexpectedly. Maybe some of us here are in the midst of an overwhelming problem. As we express faith in the midst of these trials, the Holy Spirit works a change in our lives

1 Peter 1:3-5 NIV 3] Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4] and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5] who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

(Ministries)

God has placed ministries in the Body of Christ with special gifts to mature us.

Ephesians 4:11-13 NIV 11] So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12] to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13] until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

These men are the vessels of God to minister to us:

The Word of God - our nourishment for growth
2 Timothy 3:16-17).
The Holy Spirit - the life-force that produces the growth John 6:63 NIV The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you---they are full of the Spirit and life.

(The Body of Christ)

"But we are meant to hold firmly to the truth in love, and to grow up in every way into Christ, the head. For it is from the head that the whole body, as a harmonious structure knit together by the joints with which it is provided, grows by the proper functioning of individual parts to its full maturity in love"

Ephesians 4:15-16 NIV 15] Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16] From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

Each individual member of the Church, which is Christ's Body (Ephesians 1:22-23), is important to the other, bringing strength and encouragement through their mutual expressions of love.

Ephesians 1:22-23 NIV 22] And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23] which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

M.W.F Series. " God's Magnificent Goal."

Ephesians 4:13:

"Until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ"

Monday:

(The Growing Process)

1 Pet. 2:2 "Like new-born babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation"

1 Corinthians 3:1-3 NIV 1] Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly---mere infants in Christ. 2] I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. 3] You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?

Hebrews 5:11-14 NIV 11] We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. 12] In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! 13] Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14] But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

Just as in the natural there are three major stages of growth, so it is spiritually.

In 1 John 2:12-14, John describes the Christians in three categories of maturity:

1 John 2:12-14 NIV 12] I am writing to you, dear children, - because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name. 13] I am writing to you, fathers, - because you know him who is from the beginning. - I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. 14] I write to you, dear children, - because you know the Father. - I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. - I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

A. Little children (childhood). - We play, - we cry when our candies, - toys were taken from us.

B. Young men (adolescence). - Crush, - porma, - pa cute cute.

C. Fathers (adulthood). - Now it’s a total different focus. - It’s not for self anymore, - much bigger responsibilities and for the wellbeing of the family.

Life is Amazing, WINNING IS OUR CALLING.

"Persuaded of eternal things" HIKAYATIN SA MAKALANGIT NA BIYAYA

2 Corinthians 5:8-10 NIV 8] We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9] So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 10] For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

Are you a believer? If so rejoice we are Persuaded of eternal things"

Stop allowing the devil to kick you around. You are a child of God and you are going to Heaven, you have a right to feel good about what the Lord has done for yOU.

John 10:27-30 NIV 27] My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28] I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29] My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all ; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. 30] I and the Father are one.”

So it is with God’s family! You see, if you are in Jesus, you are a part of the family and you can experience all the peace and security that He wants all of His children to enjoy.

To be a productive Christian you need to know that your future is absolutely secure. If you are to do a great work for Jesus, then you need to be able to focus on the task at hand, instead of always worrying about your future.

2 Pedro 1:3-4 We are Devinly Guided [3]Tinanggap natin sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihan ng Diyos ang lahat ng bagay na magtuturo sa atin upang tayo'y mamuhay na maka-Diyos. Ito'y dahil sa ating pagkakilala kay Jesus, na siya ring tumawag sa atin upang bahaginan tayo ng kanyang karangalan at kabutihan. [4]Sa paraang ito ay binigyan niya tayo ng mga dakila at napakahalagang pangako upang makaiwas tayo sa nakakasirang pagnanasa sa sanlibutang ito at upang makabahagi tayo sa kanyang likas bilang Diyos.

I. We had a PROMISE from God.

(His PROMISES IS GUARANTEED)

Mga Taga-Roma 8:37-39 [37]Hindi! Sa lahat ng mga ito, tayo'y siguradong magtatagumpay sa pamamagitan niya na nagmamahal sa atin. [38]Sapagkat natitiyak kong walang makapaghihiwalay sa atin sa kanyang pag-ibig. Kahit ang kamatayan, ang buhay, ang mga anghel, ang mga pamunuan o ang mga kapangyarihan, ang kasalukuyan o ang hinaharap, [39]ang kataasan, ang kalaliman, o alinmang nilalang ay hindi makapaghihiwalay sa atin sa pag-ibig ng Diyos na ipinagkaloob sa atin sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus na ating Panginoon.

Mga Taga-Roma 4:2-3 [2]Kung pinawalang-sala siya ng Diyos dahil sa mga mabubuting nagawa niya, may maipagmamalaki sana siya. Ngunit wala siyang maipagmalaki sa paningin ng Diyos. [3]Ano ang sinasabi ng kasulatan? “Si Abraham ay sumampalataya sa Diyos; at dahil dito, siya ay itinuring ng Diyos bilang isang taong matuwid.”

II. We are Under GOD’S PERSEVERANCE (Not mine) HIS!

He who began a good work or Continues effort

Mga Taga-Filipos 1:3-6 [3]Nagpapasalamat ako sa aking Diyos tuwing naaalala ko kayo. [4]Tuwing ipinapanalangin ko kayong lahat, ako'y laging nagagalak [5]dahil sa inyong pakikiisa sa pagpapalaganap ng Magandang Balita tungkol kay Cristo, mula nang ito'y inyong tanggapin hanggang sa kasalukuyan. [6]Natitiyak kong ang mabuting gawang pinasimulan sa inyo ng Diyos ay kanyang lulubusin hanggang sa araw ng pagbabalik ni Jesu-Cristo.

Who began the work? GOD! Who will complete the work?

He will finish what He has begun in you!

III. We are on GOD’S PREDESTINATION

Mga Taga-Roma 8:29-31 [29]Sapagkat sa mula't mula pa'y alam na ng Diyos kung sino ang magiging kanya at ang mga ito'y pinili niya upang maging tulad ng kanyang Anak. Sa gayon, ang Anak ang naging panganay sa lahat ng maraming magkakapatid. [30]Ang mga PINILI niya noon pang una ay kanyang TINAWAG; at ang mga TINAWAG ay kanya ring PINAWALANG-SALA, at ang mga PINAWALANG-SALA ay kanyang BINAHAGINAN ng KANYANG KALUWALHATIAN.

Pahayag 1:9 Ako'y si Juan, ang inyong kapatid at kasama sa kapighatian at pagtitiis na nararanasan ng mga kabilang sa kanyang kaharian dahil sa pakikipag-isa kay Jesus. Itinapon ako sa isla ng Patmos sapagkat ipinahayag ko ang salita ng Diyos at ang katotohanang inihayag ni Jesus.

(Rev 1:7 KJV) Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

What a joy it will be to see Christ surrounded by the four and twenty elders, praised by the angels, and adored by the saints.

Every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

There will be glad tears when I see my loved ones.

1 Mga Taga-Tesalonica 4:16 Sa araw na iyon kasabay ng malakas na utos, ng tinig ng arkanghel, at ng tunog ng trumpeta ng Diyos, bababâ ang Panginoon mula sa langit.

Ang mga namatay na sumasampalataya kay Cristo ay bubuhayin muna.

1 Mga Taga-Tesalonica 4:17 Pagkatapos, tayo namang mga buháy pa at natitira ay titipunin sa alapaap kasama ng mga binuhay upang salubungin ang Panginoon sa himpapawid.

Sa gayon, makakapiling natin siya magpakailanman.

1 Mga Taga-Tesalonica 4:18

Kaya nga, palakasin ninyo ang loob ng bawat isa sa pamamagitan ng mga aral na ito.

(1 Th 4:16-18 KJV) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

" Trust Him completely "

By faith Noah built a ship in the middle of dry Land. He was warned about something he couldnt see and acted on what he was told As a result, Noah became intimate with God. (Hebrews 11:7)

He takes pleasure in those that honor Him; in those who trusr in his constant love. Psalm 147:11

Way of Trusting for God to be happy

Proverbs 3:4-6 NIV

4] Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

5] Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6] in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

SamBAHAY

(Who shall separate Us from the LOVE of Christ.)

Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

Shall trouble
or hardship
or persecution or famine
or nakedness or danger
or sword?

Romans 8:37-39 NIV 37] No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

( For I am convinced)

that

neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,

(will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.)

(It is a word that indicates the objects of God’s love.)

"YOU NEED PEOPLE TO LIVE WITH"

Mangangaral 4:9 Ang dalawa ay mabuti kaysa isa; mas marami ang bunga ng anumang gagawin nila.

The Bible calls it fellowship. You were made and Live for relationships.

You do need the power of God in your life BUT you also need people AROUND YOU. - to support you, - to encourage you, - to guide you, - to correct you - to direct you, - to motivate you and - to Fellowship with.

You do need the power of God in your life but you also need people around you to support you, encourage you and to Fellowship with.

It is not God’s will for you to be lonely. You were made for relationships.

Ecclesiastes 4 the Bible says,

“Two people are better than one, because they get more done by working together. If one falls down, the other can help him up.”

(You need people to live with.)

Church is not something you go to.
Church is not an event you attend.
Church is a family that God meant for you to be connected to, to be a part of.
He wants you to have relationships and connections and fellowship in the body of Christ, in the family of God.

Life is amazing WINNING IS OUR CALLING.

" Essentials for Life "

Wednesday:

" YOU NEED A PLAN TO LIVE OUT "

Ephesians 2:10 NIV For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ

Jesus to do good works, which GOD PREPARED IN ADVANCE for US TO DO.

You are who you are and what you are because God intended that. Because He made you to be you means He has a plan for you to fulfill.

Psalm 37:23-25 NIV 23] The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; 24] though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. 25] I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.

TRUTHS: • You didn’t just happen – YOU’RE ON PURPOSE! • You’re not just floating along on the current of life – YOU HAVE A PURPOSE! • Your part to play is cooperation – GOD FULFILLS YOUR PURPOSE!

TRUTH: God sets your life on His track (perfect plan) – your part is to follow that track

• Make covenant with God! • Submit to His word! • willing to use for God’s Greater plan

( Jesus is our Partner) Luke 5:5-7 NIV 5] Simon answered, “Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” 6] When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 7] So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

TRUTH: Our purpose is not disclosed to us until…

• We are able to hear! • We are ready to receive! • We are willing to follow Him!

(Essential for Life) Series

Monday

"YOU NEED POWER TO LIVE ON"

"What are the essentials of life?” - air - food, - water, - light.

If you were to ask a pharmacist, “What are the essentials of life?” he’d probably give you a long list of trace minerals, and important vitamins that you need.

If you were to ask a survivalist, “What are the essentials of life?” he’d say a shotgun, bottled water and a bunker.

(But you are more than just physical life.)

Isaiah 40:30-31 (Power to Live On)

“Even youth grow weary and tired and vigorous young men stumble badly yet those who wait for the Lord [circle “those who wait for the Lord”] will gain new strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run and not get tired. They will walk and not become weary.”

Isaias 40:29 Ang mahihina't mga napapagod ay kanyang pinapalakas.

Isaias 40:30 Kahit na ang mga kabataan ay napapagod at nanlulupaypay.

Isaias 40:31

Ngunit muling lumalakas at sumisigla ang nagtitiwala kay Yahweh. Lilipad silang tulad ng mga agila. Sila'y tatakbo ngunit hindi mapapagod, sila'y lalakad ngunit hindi manghihina.

Life has a spiritual element and life has an emotional element and there are spiritual and emotional factors that are just as essential to life as air and water and food and you need these to really live.

(We want to look at the essentials of life for a balanced life. )

YOU NEED POWER TO LIVE ON

You need that because there are a lot of things in life that drain your life of power,
drain your life of energy
and strength and vitality and stamina.
Change definitely can rob you of energy.
Stress can rob you of power.
Conflict can drain your life.
Delay can drain your life of energy.
Frustration can drain your life of energy.
And everyday work can drain you of the power in your life.

Where do you get the energy and the stamina and the power to live on?

Where do you get the energy to just keep going when you feel like giving up?

(People try different things) - energy drink - therapies, - pills

(Don't Focus to the things , feeling that can Drain your strength.)

But the real secret of power to live on is this: focus on God.

The more you focus on God the more power you’re going to have in your life.

God is the source of all power. God has all the power you need.

The Bible says, “Nothing is impossible with God.” He’s got more power than you could possibly imagine.

That power is available to you but you get it by focusing on God.

You get your eyes off your problems and you get your eyes onto God, onto Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 40:30-31 “Even youth grow weary and tired and vigorous young men stumble badly

yet those who wait for the Lord “those who wait for the Lord” will gain new strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run and not get tired. They will walk and not become weary.”

God has all the power you need and you get it by waiting on Him or by focusing on Him.

REWARD of Eternal CROWN

Sunday Fb Live

"Rewards of Eternal CROWN"

Though we are to work together, we are REWARD INDIVIDUALLY.

1 Corinthians 3:8-15

(The choices of material)

12] Now anyone who builds on that foundation may USE GOLD, SILVER, JEWELS, WOOD, HAY, or STRAW.

(Time of Testing)

13] But there is going to come a time of testing at the judgment day to see what kind of work each builder has done. EVERYONE'S WORK WILL BE PUT THROUGH THE FIRE to SEE WHETHER or NOT it KEEPS its VALUE.

(We need to Survived)

14] IF THE WORK survived THE FIRE, THAT BUILDER WILL RECEIVE A REWARD.

( Save but no REWARD) [15] If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved---even though only as one escaping through the flames.

(Desires BOTH , REWARDED and SAVED)

1 Mga Taga-Corinto 3:12 May nagtatayo na gumagamit ng ginto, pilak, o mahahalagang bato; mayroon namang gumagamit ng kahoy, damo, o dayami.

1 Mga Taga-Corinto 3:13 Makikilala ang uri ng gawa ng bawat isa sa Araw ng Paghuhukom sapagkat mahahayag sa pamamagitan ng apoy kung anong uri ang ginawa ng bawat isa.

1 Mga Taga-Corinto 3:14 Kung ang itinayo sa ibabaw ng pundasyon ay hindi masunog, tatanggap ng gantimpala ang nagtayo noon.

1 Mga Taga-Corinto 3:15 (not only to Save, Crown) Ngunit kung masunog naman, mawawalan siya ng gantimpala. Gayunman, maliligtas siya, kaya lang ay para siyang nagdaan sa apoy.

Psalm 37:18 Day by day the Lord observes the good deeds done by godly men and gives them eternal rewards.

INTRODUCTION One day we will all stand before God and our lives will be judged.

But there is a judgement of the believer as we have just read. Our life, our work, our deeds will be ‘put through the fire to see whether or not it keeps its value.’

Our open passage tells this

• Though we are to work together, we are reward individually. • We are partners with God in this work. • The work’s foundation can only be Jesus Christ. • Choices of material - gold, silver and jewels or wood, hay and straw.

Not the loss of salvation. They will be saved but like someone just escaping a fire – with nothing. They will miss out on rewards.

God does not want us to just escape hell, but to live a full life for Jesus and receive eternal rewards that he has prepared for those that love him.

In the Bible these rewards are defined as crowns and today we are going to look quickly at

5 CROWNS OF ETERNAL REWARDS.

THE CROWN OF LIFE
THE INCORRUPTIBLE CROWN
THE CROWN OF REJOICING or the SOUL WINNERS CROWN -
THE CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
THE CROWN OF GLORY

(THE CROWN OF LIFE) - to those who devote themselves to Jesus.

James 1:12 14 God blesses the people who patiently endure testing.

Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

This crown is given to those who love God. Devote themselves to Him in every area of their lives.

Mark 8:35 says Whoever shall save his life shall lose it and whoever shall lose his life for my sake and the Gospel the same shall save it.

Would you like to receive the crown of life - Allow the Holy Spirit to bring you closer to God, loving Him with all your heart, mind and strength.

(THE INCORRUPTIBLE CROWN) - for those who lived a disciplined Christian life

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 24. Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. 25. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable (incorruptible) crown. 26. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. 27. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

Paul describes life here in Corthinians as a race.

And there is prize at the end. It is the incorruptible, imperishable

" Cheer Up! I will Return "

THE CHRISTIANS HOME

IT IS A PRECIOUS PLACE:

He called it “ My Father's House,”

He said to His disciples, “ I go to prepare a place for you,” ( 14:2 )

The word “ prepare,” means to make ready.

IT IS A SPACIOUS PLACE:

Christ said that in His Father's House were many mansions, or “ are many dwelling places.“

(THE RETURN HE PREDICTED)

THE CHANGING OF THE SIGNS

Mateo 24:37-39

[37]Ang pagdating ng Anak ng Tao ay tulad sa pagdating ng baha noong panahon ni Noe.

[38]Nang mga araw na iyon, bago bumaha, ang mga tao'y nagsisikain, nag-iinuman, at nagsisipag-asawa hanggang sa pumasok si Noe sa barko.

[39]Hindi nila namamalayan ang nangyayari hanggang sa dumating ang baha at tinangay silang lahat. Gayundin ang mangyayari sa pagdating ng Anak ng Tao.

Mateo 24:3-4,7

[3]Noon, si Jesus ay nasa Bundok ng mga Olibo. Habang siya'y nakaupo roon, palihim siyang tinanong ng kanyang mga alagad, “Kailan po ba mangyayari ang mga sinabi ninyo? Ano po ang magiging palatandaan ng inyong muling pagparito at ng katapusan ng mundo?”

[4]Sumagot si Jesus, “Mag-ingat kayo upang hindi kayo mailigaw ninuman!

[7]Maglalaban-laban ang mga bansa at gayundin ang mga kaharian. Magkakaroon ng taggutom at lilindol sa maraming lugar.

THE SIGNS ARE CHANGING:

(THE PRODUCT OF THE GOSPEL)

2 Timothy 3:16 NIV

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in RIGHTEOUSNESS..

The product of the Gospel in the life of the believer is "righteousness."

We have been given a Gospel worth believing and one that is worth sharing.

(THE PURPOSE OF THE GOSPEL)

Romans 1:16 NIV

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes...

(The primary Purpose is SALVATION.)

The word "salvation" is a very important word.

It means, "safety, preservation, deliverance.

" It carries the idea of "being rescued from all harm and danger."

God's desire in saving sinners is to forever deliver them from spiritual death, spiritual defilement, spiritual deception and spiritual destruction

God purpose in giving the Gospel is to change man's destination in eternity and his life here on earth as well.

I am grateful to the Lord that He gave us a salvation that we do not have to worry about. It is good for as long as He lives!

Salvation brings deliverance from the wrath of God.

John 3:36 NIV

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them.

Romans 5:9 NIV

Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!

This also mean deliverance from Hell!

Salvation brings forgiveness of sins

Colossians 2:13 NIV

When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,

Eph. 4:32

It produces a perfectly clean life!

When we come to Jesus, we are cleansed and declared righteous by the Heavenly Father.

Our sins were imputed to Him on the cross.

2 Cor. 5:21, and His righteousness is imputed to us at salvation
1 Cor. 6:9-11.
Salvation brings absolute security

John 10:27-28 NIV

[27] My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. [28] I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.

Heb. 7:25.
Salvation brings the promise of Heaven

John 14:1-3 NIV

1] “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God ; believe also in me.

2] My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?

3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

1 Corinthians 2:9 NIV

However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”---the things God has prepared for those who love him---

Salvation brings about a changed life

2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

THE POWER OF THE WORD OF GOD.

Paul tells us that the WOR is the "power of God".

The word "power" comes from a word that refers to the "might, energy, force and strength that dwell within God."9

Romans 1:16 NIV

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

John 1:1-8 NIV

1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [

2] He was with God in the beginning.

3] Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

4] In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.

5] The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

6] There was a man sent from God whose name was John.

7] He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.

8] He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

Psalm 119:105 NIV

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV

16] All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

17] so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Sowing the best… Planting the best…

Mat 7:17-20

17 Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.

19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

• We are a result of the things sown into our life, either by other people or by ourselves.

• Now, that we have a healed heart, we can unlearn sowing bad things and start learning to sow good things, the best things, so that we will reap the fruit of the best!

TODAY, YOU CAN DECIDE

WHAT KIND OF TREE YOU WILL BE,

WHAT KIND OF FRUIT WILL YOU BEAR IN YOUR LIFE…

How To Get Out Of Debt

A. Avoid Becoming A Guarantor

It is wise not to become a GUARANTOR for a stranger, otherwise you will suffer for it.

(Proverbs 6:1-5; 11:15).

Mga Kawikaan 6:1-5

[1]Aking anak, sa utang ba ng iba ikaw ay nananagot?

[2]Ikaw ba ay nangako, sa utang niya ay nasangkot?

[3]Kung gayon ay nasasakop ka ng kanyang pagpapasya, ngunit ito ang gawin mo nang makaiwas sa problema: Ikaw ay magmadali sa kanya ay makiusap, sabihin mong pawalan ka sa napasukan mong bitag.

[4]Huwag kang titigil, huwag kang maglulubay, ni huwag kang iidlip, hanggang walang kalayaan.

[5]Iligtas ang sarili mo parang usang tumatakas, at tulad niyong ibong sa kulunga'y umaalpas.

Mga Kawikaan 11:15

Ang nananagot para sa iba, sa gusot ay nasasadlak, ngunit ang ayaw gumarantiya ay malayo sa bagabag.

The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender

(Proverbs 22:7).

OWE no one anything except to LOVE one another (Romans 13:8).

Mga Taga-Roma 13:8

Huwag kayong magkakaroon ng utang kaninuman, maliban sa saguting magmahalan sa isa't isa, sapagkat ang nagmamahal sa kapwa ay tumutupad sa Kautusan.

Budget law says that the more we have, the more we spend.
Do not borrow more than you can pay back.

(Tithing And Offering)

Genesis 14:20

Purihin ang Kataas-taasang Diyos, na nagbigay sa iyo ng tagumpay!”At ibinigay ni Abram kay Melquisedec ang ikasampung bahagi ng lahat ng kanyang nasamsam buhat sa labanan.

(The Principles of Sowing & Reaping)

Mga Taga-Efeso 1:3

Purihin ang Diyos at Ama ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo! Pinagkalooban niya tayo ng lahat ng pagpapalang espirituwal at makalangit dahil sa ating pakikipag-isa kay Cristo.

(We Are Stewards Of Money Of God)

To know about stewardship, we have to know that money is IMPORTANT and a RESOURCE.
Money is a SERVANT and not our masters. We must love PEOPLE and use MONEY and not the other way round. The parable of the Unjust Steward

(Luke 16).

“No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve GOD and MAMMON.”

(Luke 16:13)

Money must CIRCULATE. We should not hoard money (Proverbs 11:24-26)

Ecclesiastes says that “Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, for you do not know what evil will be on the earth.”

(Ecclesiastes 11:2).

5.As we are only stewards of God, we must maximize the TALENTS given to us. Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days (Ecclesiastes 11:1).

We need to INVEST our money and not hoard it.

HINDRANCES TO PRAYER

These are what we called prayer,

but knowing how to pray,

what to pray and when to pray is not complete.

We must know and understand also the hindrances to our prayer.

“ The Primary Purpose of Prayer. “

Acts 2:42-47 NIV

42] They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

43] Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.

44] All the believers were together and had everything in common.

45] They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.

46] Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,

47] praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

"THE BELIEVERS AND THEIR PRAYER LIFE"

James 5:13-18

13] Nahihirapan ba ang sinuman sa inyo? Manalangin siya. Nagagalak ba ang sinuman? Umawit siya ng papuri sa Diyos.

14] Kung kayo ay may sakit, ipatawag ninyo ang mga pinuno ng iglesya upang ipanalangin kayo at pahiran ng langis sa pangalan ng Panginoon.

15] Pagagalingin ng Diyos ang maysakit dahil sa panalanging may pananampalataya; palalakasin siyang muli ng Panginoon at patatawarin ang kanyang mga kasalanan.

16] Kaya nga, ipagtapat ninyo sa inyong mga kapatid ang inyong mga kasalanan at ipanalangin ninyo ang isa't isa, upang kayo'y gumaling. Malaki ang nagagawa ng panalangin ng taong matuwid.

17] Si Elias ay isang tao na tulad din natin; nang mataimtim siyang nanalangin na huwag umulan, hindi nga umulan sa loob ng tatlong taon at anim na buwan.

18] At nang siya'y nanalangin para umulan, bumagsak nga ang ulan at namunga ang mga halaman.

" Pray With Thanksgiving "

Philippians 1:2-3 NIV

2] Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

20] For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

“ SWORD OF THE SPIRIT “

Mga Taga-Efeso 6:17

Isuot ninyo ang helmet ng kaligtasan,

at gamitin ang tabak ng Espiritu, na walang iba kundi ang Salita ng Diyos.

Hebrew 4:12

Every Word of God spoken is like a two edged sword that can divide and create anything when spoken.

Speak forth the Word of God with power and faith and it shall come to pass it will not return void.

The Shield of FAITH

I put on the Faith of GOD

The life i now live in the flesh i live by faith in the Son of God who love me and gave himself for me.

The author and finisher of my faith.

The Shoes of readiness given by the GOSPEL of PEACE.

Mga Taga-Efeso 6:15

isuot ninyo ang sandalyas ng pagiging handa sa pangangaral ng Magandang Balita ng kapayapaan.

(Breastplate of Righteousness)

This covers your heart, your soul, your feelings, and your emotions. God does not want you to be wounded emotionally. This heals your heart and protects your heart.

(The Belt of Truth)

– Live according to God’s word. When you decided to serve Him you also decided to live according to His word.

The highest Location: HEAVEN

COL. 3:1-3

If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.
For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

The highest Expectation: THE COMING OF CHRIST

1 THES. 4:15-18

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;
then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

The highest Possession: " CHRIST "

MATTHEW 13:44

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,
"who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

The greatest person who has ever lived is Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the Son of God. The entire Bible tells about Jesus.

The Old Testament has many prophecies of His coming.

The first four books of the New Testament

Matthew,
Mark,
Luke, and
John

tell of His birth, ministry, death, and resurrection from the dead.

(The rest of the New Testament books tell about)

1) His church;

2) His death for our sins;

3) His second coming to judge the world.

" SERVING GOD "

COLOSIANS 3:23,24

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

1 Mga Taga-Corinto 15:58

Kaya nga, mga minamahal kong kapatid, magpakatatag kayo at huwag matinag. Maging masipag kayo sa paglilingkod sa Panginoon, dahil alam ninyong hindi masasayang ang inyong paghihirap para sa kanya.

Malakias 3:14-18

14]Sabi ninyo, ‘Walang saysay ang maglingkod sa Diyos. Ano ba ang mapapala natin sa pagsunod sa kanyang mga utos o sa pagpapakita natin kay Yahweh na nagsisisi tayo sa nagawa nating kasalanan?

15]Hindi ba't kung sino ang palalo ay siya pang pinagpapala? Hindi lamang nananagana ang masasama kundi sinusubok pa nila ang Diyos sa paggawa nila ng kasamaan ngunit hindi sila pinaparusahan.’”

16]Pagkatapos, nag-usap-usap ang mga taong may paggalang kay Yahweh. Pinakinggan niyang mabuti ang kanilang usapan, kaya ipinatala niya sa isang aklat ang mga pangalan ng mga gumagalang sa kanya.

17]“Magiging akin sila,” sabi ni Yahweh na Makapangyarihan sa lahat. “Sa araw na ako'y kumilos, itatangi ko sila bilang sariling akin. Ililigtas ko sila, tulad ng pagliligtas ng isang ama sa anak na naglilingkod sa kanya.

18]Muli ninyong makikita ang pagkakaiba ng mabuti at ng masama, ng taong naglilingkod sa Diyos at ng hindi naglilingkod sa kanya.”

The highest Motivation = "THE LOVE OF CHRIST"

1 CORINTIAN 13:1,2

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.
And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, I am nothing.

A Christian will never love their neighbor until they first learn to love God.

" COUNTED FAITHFUL"

Matthew 25:23

"His lord said to him, WELL DONE, Good and FAITHFUL SERVANT; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

Mateo 25:14-29

[14]“Ang paghahari ng Diyos ay maitutulad sa isang taong maglalakbay. Kaya't tinawag niya ang kanyang mga tauhan at ipinagkatiwala sa kanila ang kanyang ari-arian.

[15]Binigyan niya ng salaping ginto ang bawat isa ayon sa kanilang kakayahan. Binigyan niya ang isa ng limanlibong salaping ginto, ang isa nama'y dalawang libong salaping ginto, at ang isa pa ay isanlibong salaping ginto. Pagkatapos nito, siya'y umalis.

[16]Kumilos agad ang tumanggap ng limanlibong salaping ginto at ipinangalakal iyon. Kumita siya ng limanlibong salaping ginto.

[17]Gayundin naman, ang tumanggap ng dalawang libong salaping ginto ay kumita pa ng dalawang libong salaping ginto.

[18]Ngunit ang tumanggap ng isanlibong salaping ginto ay humukay sa lupa at itinago ang salaping ginto ng kanyang panginoon.

[19]“Pagkaraan ng mahabang panahon, bumalik ang panginoon ng mga tauhang iyon at sila'y pinag-ulat.

[20]Lumapit ang tumanggap ng limanlibong salaping ginto at sinabi, ‘Panginoon, ito po ang limanlibong salaping ginto na iniwan ninyo sa akin. Heto naman po ang limanlibong salaping ginto na tinubo nito.’

[21]“Sinabi sa kanya ng panginoon, ‘Magaling! Tapat at mabuting lingkod! Halika, makihati ka sa aking kagalakan. Naging tapat ka sa kaunting halaga, kaya gagawin kitang tagapamahala ng malaking halaga.’

[22]“Lumapit din ang tumanggap ng dalawang libong salaping ginto at ang sabi, ‘Panginoon, ito po ang iniwan ninyo sa aking dalawang libong salaping ginto. Heto naman po ang dalawang libong salaping ginto na tinubo nito.’

[23]“Sinabi ng kanyang panginoon, ‘Magaling! Tapat at mabuting lingkod! Naging tapat ka sa kaunting halaga, kaya't pamamahalain kita sa malaking halaga. Makihati ka sa aking kagalakan!’

[24]“Lumapit naman ang tumanggap ng isanlibong salaping ginto at sinabi, ‘Alam ko pong kayo'y mahigpit at pinipitas ninyo ang bunga ng hindi ninyo itinanim at inaani ninyo ang hindi ninyo inihasik.

[25]Natakot po ako, kaya't ibinaon ko sa lupa ang inyong salaping ginto. Heto na po ang salaping iniwanan ninyo sa akin.’

[26]“Sumagot ang kanyang panginoon, ‘Masama at tamad na lingkod! Alam mo palang pinipitas ko ang bunga ng hindi ko tanim at inaani ang hindi ko inihasik,

[27]bakit hindi mo na lamang inilagay sa bangko ang aking salapi! Kahit paano'y may tinubo sana ito!

[28]Kunin ninyo sa kanya ang isanlibong salaping ginto at ibigay sa may sampung libong salaping ginto.

[29]Sapagkat ang mayroon ay bibigyan pa, at mananagana; ngunit ang wala, kahit ang kakaunting nasa kanya ay kukunin pa.

The Highest POSITION - Doing the WILL OF GOD

Hebrews 10:36 NIV

You need to persevere so that when you have DONE THE WILL OF GOD, you will RECEIVE what he has PROMISED.

" LIVING FOR GOD "

I Corinthians 15:57

“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

2 Corinthians 2:14 NIV

Bees have a function that they're supposed to do.

And when you learn about the birds and the bees you learn about the function of the bees.

“ OBEYING “

Why Should We Obey God? Deuteronomy 4:4-5 4 ngunit kayong nanatiling tapat kay Yahweh na inyong Diyos ay buháy pa hanggang ngayon. 5 “Ngayon nga'y itinuturo ko sa inyo ang mga batas at tuntunin na ito gaya ng ipinag-utos sa akin ni Yahweh na ating Diyos. Sundin ninyo ang mga ito sa lupaing malapit na ninyong sakupin at tirhan. Deuteronomio 4:1 - 9 1] “Ngayon, O Israel, pakinggan ninyong mabuti at sundin ang tuntuning itinuturo ko sa inyo upang mabuhay kayo nang matagal at mapasainyo ang lupaing ibinigay sa inyo ni Yahweh, na inyong Diyos. 2 Huwag ninyo itong daragdagan ni babawasan. Sundin ninyo ang mga utos na ibinigay ko sa inyo mula kay Yahweh. 3 Nakita ninyo ang ginawa ni Yahweh sa Baal-peor; nilipol niya ang lahat ng sumamba kay Baal, 4 ngunit kayong nanatiling tapat kay Yahweh na inyong Diyos ay buháy pa hanggang ngayon. 5 “Ngayon nga'y itinuturo ko sa inyo ang mga batas at tuntunin na ito gaya ng ipinag-utos sa akin ni Yahweh na ating Diyos. Sundin ninyo ang mga ito sa lupaing malapit na ninyong sakupin at tirhan. 6 Unawain ninyo ito at sunding mabuti. Sa gayon makikita ng ibang bansa ang inyong karunungan at pang-unawa. Kaya't masasabi nila: ‘Ang dakilang bansang ito'y matalino at may malawak na pagkaunawa.’ 7 “Sinong diyos ng ibang bansa ang handang tumulong anumang oras liban kay Yahweh? 8 Aling bansa ang may makatarungang tuntunin at kautusan tulad ng ibinigay ko sa inyo ngayon? 9 Ngunit mag-ingat kayo. Huwag ninyong kakalimutan o babale-walain ang mga bagay na inyong nasaksihan, habang kayo'y nabubuhay. Ituro ninyo ito sa inyong mga anak at mga Apo. Mateo 16:24-26 [24]Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanyang mga alagad, “Ang sinumang nagnanais sumunod sa akin ay kinakailangang itakwil niya ang kanyang sarili, pasanin ang kanyang krus, at sumunod sa akin. [25]Ang naghahangad na magligtas ng kanyang buhay ay mawawalan nito; ngunit ang mawalan ng kanyang buhay alang-alang sa akin ay magkakamit nito. [26]Sapagkat ano ba ang mapapala ng isang tao makamtan man niya ang buong daigdig, ngunit mapapahamak naman ang kanyang sarili? Ano ba ang maibabayad ng isang tao para mabawi niya ang kanyang buhay? (Obedience to God is for our own GOOD.) Psalm 23:2-4 NIV. God (HE) 2] He makes me lie down in green pastures, “HE LEAD” me beside quiet waters, 3] he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. 4] Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 1. BECAUSE OBEDIENCE BRINGS LIFE First, obedience brings life. Israel is told to listen "in order that you may live and go in and take possession of the land" Deuteronomio 4:1 “Ngayon, O Israel, pakinggan ninyong mabuti at sundin ang tuntuning itinuturo ko sa inyo upang mabuhay kayo nang matagal at mapasainyo ang lupaing ibinigay sa inyo ni Yahweh, na inyong Diyos. Deuteronomio 4:40 Kaya nga, dapat ninyong sundin ang kanyang mga utos at tuntuning sinasabi ko sa inyo ngayon. Sa ganoon, pagpapalain kayo at ang lahing susunod sa inyo. Magtatagal kayo habang panahon sa lupaing ibinigay sa inyo ni Yahweh na inyong Diyos.” The full enjoyment of life depended upon Israel's ability to keep the law. (This included) - listening, - observing, and - doing in order to reach their full potential in the land of promise - The words "that you may live" are far from being a mere synonym for "existence." 2. Second, obedience makes a great people. It would make Israel a great people in the eyes of the nations about them. Moses said, - So keep and do them, for that is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people." Deuteronomio 4:6 6] Unawain ninyo ito at sunding mabuti. Sa gayon makikita ng ibang bansa ang inyong karunungan at pang-unawa. Kaya't masasabi nila: ‘Ang dakilang bansang ito'y matalino at may malawak na pagkaunawa.’ 7] “Sinong diyos ng ibang bansa a

" I want Your Love " Hosea 6:6 I dont want your sacrifices I want your love, (Loving God) Luke 10:26-28 NIV 26] “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” 27] He answered, “ 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind' ; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' ” 28] “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” “God: The Supreme Object of My Love” Lucas 14:25 > Jesus first > Supreme OBJECT 25] Sumama kay Jesus ang napakaraming tao; humarap siya sa kanila at kanyang sinabi, 26] “Hindi maaaring maging alagad ko ang sinumang umiibig sa kanyang ama at ina, asawa at mga anak, mga kapatid, at maging sa sarili niyang buhay nang higit sa akin.

And his commands are not burdensome, 1 Juan 5:1 - 3 1] Kung tayo'y sumasampalataya na si Jesus ang siyang Cristo, tayo nga'y mga anak ng Diyos. At ang sinumang umiibig sa ama ay umiibig din sa anak. 2] Ito ang palatandaang iniibig natin ang mga anak ng Diyos: kung iniibig natin ang Diyos at tinutupad ang kanyang mga utos, 3] sapagkat ang tunay na umiibig sa Diyos ang tumutupad ng kanyang mga utos. Hindi naman mahirap sundin ang kanyang mga utos, “Loving My Neighbor: The Secondary Object of Love” John 13:35 NIV > Disciples Language By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” 1 Mga Taga-Corinto 13:1 - 2 Love Above all 1] Makapagsalita man ako sa mga wika ng mga tao at ng mga anghel, kung wala naman akong pag-ibig, para lamang akong kampanang umaalingawngaw o pompiyang na kumakalampag. 2] Kung ako man ay may kakayahang magpahayag ng salita ng Diyos at umunawa sa lahat ng hiwaga, kung mayroon man ako ng lahat ng kaalaman at ng malaking pananampalataya na anupa't nakakapagpalipat ako ng mga bundok, ngunit kung wala naman akong pag-ibig, wala akong kabuluhan. Mateo 5:44 > Love your Enemy Ngunit ito naman ang sinasabi ko, ibigin ninyo ang inyong mga kaaway at ipanalangin ninyo ang mga umuusig sa inyo, Mga Taga-Roma 12:18 - 21 Love Cover all 18] Hangga't maaari, makisama kayo nang mapayapa sa lahat ng tao. 19] Mga minamahal, huwag kayong maghihiganti; ipaubaya ninyo iyon sa Diyos.

I want your love, I dont want your offerings I want you to know me. Knowing produces faith / ignorance produces unbelief! Knowing Him by the Heart a) If from the mind – it effects only natural things b) If from the heart – it affects both natural and spiritual (All starts with God) Genesis 1:1 NIV In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. John 1:1 NIV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ( The Supremacy of Jesus) Colossians 1:16 For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, . . .everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. Colossians 1:16-17 NIV 16] For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17] He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. A. We must learn to lean on the Lord. Proverbs 3:25, 26 25 - "Do not be afraid of sudden terror, Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes; 26 - For the LORD will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught." Mga Kawikaan 3:25 25] Kahit hampas nitong bagyo ay dumating nang biglaan, hindi ka mababagabag tulad ng mga mangmang. 26] Pagkat tiwala kang si Yahweh ang kaagapay mo, at di niya hahayaang sa bitag ika'y masilo. B. God commands "Fear not" Hebrews 13:5, 6 5 - "Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." 6 - So we may boldly say: "The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"" C. Christians can have confidence in their relationship with the Heavenly Father. Ephesians 3:12 - "in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him." Hebrews 4:16 "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." 1 John 4:17 "Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world." Someone has said, "God gives the ingredients for our daily bread, but He expects us to do the baking." Let us Desire to know HIM more (Christ) Matthew 11:29 NIV Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (If we Find HIM) A. We Must be Focused To live your Christian life and find HIM, is to live it focused on the things that matter to Christ and His Kingdom. Everything else should be off our radar, so to speak! B. We Must be Faithful there is both a positive statement and a negative statement. The positive statement is for us to set our affection on things above. The negative statement is this, not on things on the earth If the first statement is a call to focus, then this second statement is certainly a call to faithfulness. A lack of faithfulness is a disease that is killing many churches. What we need are some men and women who will say, This world is not home to me, and therefore all its enticements and excitements will not pull me from what I am called to do! We are to be faithful! His Lordship becomes real, our longing is revealed, and our life is refocused in Christ. Whether you find yourself in the grip of discouragement, the grind of life, or the grime of sin, the challenge is the same! Knowing HIM DEEPLY This knowledge

GET FREE, AND GET BOLD!

The life of the believer is a wonderful experience! God intends for our lives to be joy-filled and a glorious life.

Psalm 138:1-3

“I will praise You with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing

praises to You. I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; for You have magnified Your word above all Your name. In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul.”

Proverbs 28:1

“The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold

as a lion.”

Hebrews 12:12

“Therefore, strengthen [lift up] the hands which hang down,

and feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.”

DECLARATION:

I agree with Jesus

…He says

…whom the Son sets free is free indeed

…Jesus has set me free therefore I am free indeed!…the evil one is bound from my life

…the greater one lives in me

…I now bind any evil spirit that has assignment against me…and I declare my liberty today in Christ Jesus!

TRUTH:

If there is one thing Jesus desires in His disciples it is boldness.

To be a light in the darkness is a BOLD CONDITION !
To be a witness of Him is a BOLD EXHIBITION!
To lay hands on the sick is a BOLD ACT OF FAITH!
To unashamedly praise God with all your might is a BOLD ACT OF WORSHIP!
Just to follow Jesus [truly follow Him] is a very BOLD LIFESTYLE!

BOLDNESS DEFINED:

the willingness to step out with no thought for oneself

and with no fear of man’s disapproval.

TRUTH:

Understand your enemy and prevail over him! Know that he attempts to keep each of us from God’s best!

The release of joy [and strength] that comes through praising God!
The fruitfulness that comes through sharing the love of Jesus

Philippians 1:19-20

“For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through

your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to the earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

Hebrews 12:12

“Therefore, strengthen [lift up] the hands which hang down,

and feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.”

" A Christian Life is…A Freedom-filled Life "

Romans 8:1-2 NIV

1] Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

2] because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

We are free because we’re forgiven.
We are free to say “no” to legalism.
We are free to say “yes” to freedom.
We are free from abusive emotions and anxiety.
We are free to do what we want to do.

What is legalism?

“Keeping rules for rules’ sake.”

Seeking justification by observing the law.

Mga Taga-Roma 10:2-3

[2]Sapagkat saksi akong sila'y nagsisikap na maging kalugud-lugod sa Diyos. Mali nga lamang ang kanilang naging batayan.

[3]Dahil hindi nila kinilala ang katuwirang mula sa Diyos, at nagsisikap silang gumamit ng sarili nilang pamamaraan; hindi sila sumunod sa pamamaraang itinakda ng Diyos.

Mga Taga-Galacia 3:1-3

[1]Mga hangal kayong mga taga-Galacia! Sino ang nakagayuma sa inyo? Maliwanag na ipinahayag na sa inyo kung paano namatay si Jesu-Cristo sa krus!

[2]Sabihin nga ninyo, tinanggap ba ninyo ang Espiritu sa pamamagitan ng mga gawa ayon sa Kautusan o sa pamamagitan ng inyong pananalig sa inyong narinig tungkol kay Cristo?

[3]Talagang napakahangal ninyo! Nagsimula na kayo sa Espiritu, at ngayo'y nais pa ninyong magtapos sa pamamagitan ng inyong sariling lakas!

Mga Taga-Galacia 2:11-14

[11]Nang si Pedro ay nasa Antioquia, harapan kong sinabi sa kanya na mali ang kanyang ginagawa,

[12]dahil bago dumating ang ilang sugo ni Santiago, siya'y nakikisalo sa mga Hentil. Subalit nang dumating na ang mga iyon, lumayo na siya at hindi na nakisalo sa mga Hentil dahil sa takot niya sa pangkat ng mga Judio na nagbibigay diin sa pagtutuli.

[13]At gumaya naman sa kanya ang ibang mga kapatid doon na mga Judio; pati si Bernabe ay natangay ng kanilang pagkukunwari.

[14]Nang makita kong ang kanilang ikinikilos ay hindi ayon sa tunay na diwa ng Magandang Balita, sinabi ko kay Pedro sa harap nilang lahat, “Kung ikaw na isang Judio ay namumuhay na parang Hentil at di bilang Judio, bakit mo ngayon pinipilit ang mga Hentil na mamuhay gaya ng mga Judio?”

2 Pedro 3:11-14

[11]At dahil ganito ang magiging wakas ng lahat ng bagay, mamuhay kayo nang may kabanalan at sikapin ninyong maging maka-Diyos

[12]habang hinihintay ninyo ang Araw ng Diyos. Magsikap kayong mabuti upang madaling dumating ang araw na ang kalangitan ay matutupok at ang mga bagay na naroroon ay matutunaw sa matinding init.

[13]Naghihintay tayo ng bagong langit at ng bagong lupa na paghaharian ng katuwiran, sapagkat ganoon ang kanyang pangako.

[14]Kaya nga, mga minamahal, habang naghihintay kayo, sikapin ninyong mamuhay nang mapayapa, walang dungis at walang kapintasan.

Mga Taga-Roma 6:18-23

[18]Pinalaya na kayo sa kasalanan at kayo ngayon ay mga alipin na ng katuwiran.

[19]Gumagamit ako ng karaniwang pangungusap dahil sa inyong likas na kahinaan. Kung paanong ipinailalim ninyo noong una ang inyong sarili sa karumihan at sa kasamaang palala nang palala, ilaan ninyo ngayon ang inyong sarili bilang alipin ng katuwiran para sa mga banal na layunin.

[20]Noong alipin pa kayo ng kasalanan, hindi kayo saklaw ng katuwiran.

[21]Ano ang napala ninyo sa mga bagay na iyon na ikinahihiya ninyo ngayon? Kamatayan ang ibinubunga ng mga iyon.

[22]Ngunit ngayong pinalaya na kayo mula sa kasalanan at naging alipin na ng Diyos, ang natamo ninyo'y isang buhay na banal at ang ibinubunga nito'y buhay na walang hanggan.

[23]Sapagkat kamatayan ang kabayaran ng kasalanan, ngunit ang libreng kaloob ng Diyos ay buhay na walang hanggan, sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus na ating Panginoon.

"Ang PAGPAPALAYA"

Upang mabigyan tayo ng ganap na kaalaman sa pagpapalaya at ang pangangailangang lumaya mula sa iba’t-ibang uri ng pagkaka-alipin na maaring mangyari sa buhay ng bagong mananampalataya na hindi pa napapalaya sa pagkaalipin.

Isaiah 61:1

“Pinuspos ako ni Yahweh ng Kanyang Espiritu. Hinirang Niya ako upang ang magandang balita’y dalhin sa mahihirap, pagalingin ang sugat ng puso, palayain ang mga bihag at bilanggo.”

(ANG KALAGAYAN NG ISANG MAKASALANAN)

(Pagkahiwalay sa Diyos.)

(Genesis 3:23-24)

23] “Kaya, pinalayas sa halamanan ng Eden ang tao upang magbungkal ng lupang kanyang pinagmulan.

24] Pinalayas nga siya ng Diyos, at sa dakong silangan ng halamanan ng Eden ay naglagay siya ng bantay na kerubin. Naglagay rin siya ng espadang nagniningas upang hindi malapitan ninuman ang punong-kahoy ng buhay.”

Romans 6:23

“Sapagkat kamatayan ang kabayaran ng kasalanan…”

(Ang buhay ay salat sa walang hanggang kahalagahan.)

1 Pedro 1:14

Bilang masunuring mga anak, huwag kayong umayon sa masasamang pagnanasa tulad ng ginagawa ninyo noong kayo'y wala pang tunay na pagkaunawa.

1 Pedro 1:15

Dahil ang Diyos na pumili sa inyo ay banal, dapat din kayong magpakabanal sa lahat ng inyong ginagawa,

1 Pedro 1:16

sapagkat nasusulat, “Magpakabanal kayo, sapagkat ako'y banal.”

1 Pedro 1:17

Walang itinatangi ang Diyos. Pinapahalagahan niya ang bawat isa ayon sa mga ginawa nito. At dahil tinatawag ninyo siyang Ama, igalang ninyo siya habang kayo'y nabubuhay.

1 Pedro 1:18

Alam ninyo kung ano ang ipinantubos sa inyo sa walang kabuluhang pamumuhay na inyong minana sa inyong mga magulang. Ang ipinantubos sa inyo'y hindi ang mga bagay na nasisira o nauubos, tulad ng ginto o pilak,

1 Pedro 1:19

kundi sa pamamagitan ng mahalagang dugo ni Cristo. Siya ang korderong walang batik at kapintasan.

(Ang ating buhay at gawa ay nasira.)

Galacia 5:19-21

19] “Hindi maikakaila ang mga gawa ng laman: pangangalunya, karima-rimarim na pamumuhay, kahalayan, [20] pagsamba sa diyus-diyusan, pangkukulam, pagkapoot, pagkagalit, paninibugho, kasakiman, pagkakabaha-bahagi, pagkakampi-kampi,

21] pagkainggit, paglalasing, walang taros na pagsasaya, at iba pang tulad nito. Binabalaan ko kayo tulad noong una: hindi tatanggapin sa kaharian ng Diyos ang gumagawa ng gayong mga bagay.”

(Pagkaalipin sa lahat ng uri ng mga gapos.)

Juan 8:34

“Sumagot si Jesus, “Tandaan ninyo: alipin ng kasalanan ang lahat ng nagkakasala.”

Roma 6:16

“Alam ninyong kapag kayo’y napailalim kaninuman bilang alipin, alipin nga kayo ng inyong pinapanginoon – mga alipin ng kasalanan at ang bunga nito’y kamatayan, o mga alipin ng Diyos at ang bunga nito’y pagpapawalang-sala.”

" GOD MADE YOU WITH FAVOR" Genesis 17: 6-8; 15-22 A. V. 6 (Concerning His Fruitfulness) Genesis 17:6 Pararamihin ko nga ang iyong lahi at magtatatag sila ng mga bansa; at may magiging hari sa kanila. - God promises Abraham Children, Crowds and Crowns. - God promised him things that, at that moment in his life, he couldn't even imagine! The farther I travel down this road, the sweeter His promises become to me! I am thankful that every single one is true! By the way, He will make your life fruitful for His glory if you will abide in Him. John 15:5.) B. V. 7-8 (Concerning His Faithfulness) Genesis 17:7-8 7]“Tutuparin ko ang aking pangako sa iyo at sa iyong lahi habang panahon, at ako'y magiging Diyos ninyo. 8]Ibibigay ko sa iyo at sa iyong magiging lahi ang lupaing ito ng Canaan na iyong tinitirhan ngayon bilang isang dayuhan. Ito ang magiging pag-aari nila sa habang panahon, at ako ang kanilang magiging Diyos.” - God promises not only to bless Abraham, but his children and all the generations of Abraham's seed as well. This is a covenant that is as good as the Name of God and that will endure as long as God endures. (Note: Thank God that we can count on His faithfulness! Lam. 3:22-23. Thank God that He is faithful and true. He will not renege on His promises. He will not fail us. We may fall short, but He never will! He is ever faithful! Note: God promises to be a personal God to the seed of Abraham. Friend, it is a blessing to serve a God that desires a personal relationship with the likes of you and me! I praise His name that my walk with Him does not hinge on what you do! It is personal and it is everlasting! What a blessing! V. 15-22 (Concerning His Future ) Genesis 17:15-22 [15]Sinabi pa rin ng Diyos kay Abraham, “Hindi na Sarai ang itatawag mo sa iyong asawa kundi Sara [16]sapagkat siya'y pagpapalain ko. Magkakaanak ka sa kanya at siya'y magiging ina ng maraming bansa; may magiging hari mula sa kanyang mga salinlahi.” [17]Muling nagpatirapa si Abraham, ngunit napatawa siya nang kanyang maisip na siya'y matanda na. Nasabi niya sa sarili, “Magkakaanak pa ba ang isang lalaki na sandaang taóng gulang na? At si Sara! Maglilihi pa ba siya gayong siya'y siyamnapung taon na?” [18]At sinabi niya sa Diyos, “Bakit hindi na lang po si Ismael ang magmana ng mga ipinangako ninyo sa akin?” [19]Kaya't sumagot ang Diyos, “Hindi; ang asawa mong si Sara ay magkakaanak ng isang lalaki at tatawagin mo siyang Isaac. Makikipagtipan ako sa kanya at sa kanyang lahi magpakailanman. [20]Tungkol naman kay Ismael, ipagkakaloob ko ang kahilingan mo: Pagpapalain ko siya at pararamihin ko rin ang kanyang lahi. Magkakaanak siya ng labindalawang prinsipe, at magiging bansang makapangyarihan ang kanyang salinlahi. [21]Ngunit ang aking tipan sa iyo ay matutupad kay Isaac, na isisilang ni Sara sa isang taon, sa ganito ring panahon.” [22]Pagkasabi nito, nilisan ng Diyos si Abraham. God's promise to Abraham is extended to Sarai also.

She is to have this child of promise and she is to be the mother of multitudes. Her name is also changed from "Sarai", which means "My Princess" to "Sarah", which means "Princess". When Abraham hears this he laughs. It is not a laugh of doubt, but of joy at what the Lord is about to do in his life. He is so excited thinking about the power of God that he prayers for God to bless Ishmael also. This prayer is heard and answered by the Lord! (Note: Here is a man who was looking at a bleak future when the day began. Now he is thrilled by the possibilities. I just want to remind us this evening that no cause os hopeless when it involves the Lord. Your future is as bright as the size of your faith! When we involve God in the situations of our lives, the impossible becomes immediately possibly, John 6:1-13. Remember the God we serve holds today and tomorrow in His hands, and He is greater than both!

"Your Desire ,God Favor"

2 Mga Hari 2:9

Pagkatawid nila, sinabi ni Elias, “Sabihin mo sa akin kung ano ang ibig mong gawin ko para sa iyo bago ako kunin.”

Sumagot si Eliseo, “Kung maaari'y ipamana ninyo sa akin ang dalawang bahagi ng inyong kapangyarihan.”

*Ano ang mayroon kay Eliseo?

(DESIRE)

gusto ni Eliseo na ipapamana sa kanya ni Elias ang dalawang bahagi ng kanyang kapangyarihan

(DECISION)

pinili ni Eliseo na sumunod kay Elias

(DETERMINATION)

hindi pa rin humiwalay si Eliseo kahit sinabi ni Elias na maiwan na siya, hindi napigilan. Sige lang ang sunod ni Eliseo.

(DEDICATION)

matinding dedikasyon ang meron si Eliseo, kahit anong mangyari, kahit anong marinig hindi humiwalay kay Elias.

Kaya naman ang hingi ni Eliseo bagamat mabigat ay kanyang nakamit.

Huwag basta susuko Lulubusin ni Lord ang Kanyang sinimulan.

Favor from God and Man

"FAVOR FROM GOD AND PEOPLE"

1 Samuel 2:26 NIV

And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the Lord and with people.

(Favorable Calling and the People confirm and Validate.)

1 Samuel 2:26-28

[26]Si Samuel nama'y patuloy na lumaking kalugud-lugod kay Yahweh at sa mga tao.

[27]Minsan, si Eli ay nilapitan ng isang propeta ng Diyos. Sinabi sa kanya, “Ganito ang ipinapasabi ni Yahweh: ‘Nangusap ako sa ninuno mong si Aaron nang sila'y alipin pa ng Faraon, ang hari ng Egipto.

[28]Sa mga lipi ni Israel ay siya ang pinili kong maging pari. Siya ang mangangasiwa sa altar, magsusunog ng insenso, magsusuot ng linong efod, at maglilingkod sa akin bilang kinatawan ng Israel. At lahat ng handog sa akin ng mga Israelita'y ibinibigay ko sa kanyang sambahayan.

(Jesus when He grow up, His mother treasure what the Father said to her)

Lucas 2:49-52

[49]Sumagot si Jesus, “Bakit po ninyo ako hinahanap? Hindi po ba ninyo alam na ako'y dapat mamalagi sa bahay ng aking Ama?”

[50]Ngunit hindi nila naunawaan ang pananalitang ito.

[51]Siya'y sumama sa kanila pauwi sa Nazaret, at siya'y naging masunurin sa kanila. Ang lahat ng bagay na ito ay iningatan ng kanyang ina sa kanyang puso.

[52]Patuloy na lumaki si Jesus; lumawak ang kanyang karunungan at lalong naging kalugud-lugod sa Diyos at sa mga tao.

Luke 2:52 NIV

And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

Favor it is:

(Favor from God and People)

1) It is a CONFIRMATION of your supreme love for Christ.

2) It is a CLARIFICATION of God's ownership.

3) It is a COMMITMENT to raise our LIVES under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

4) It is a CLAIMING of God’s best plan and promises for that life.
