𝙂𝙤𝙙 𝙨𝙖𝙞𝙙…

In Scripture, we often encounter the phrase, “This is what the Lord says.” Isaiah 44:6, Jeremiah 7:3, and Zechariah 1:3 all remind us of one important truth: God speaks, and His words matter.

𝙂𝙤𝙙 𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙦𝙪𝙚! Psalm 139:13–14 reminds us that we are wonderfully made, while Isaiah 43:1 tells us that God knows us and calls us by name. You are not an accident or a copy of someone else. You were created with purpose.

𝙂𝙤𝙙 𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙚! In Matthew 28:20, Jesus promises, “I am with you always.” Hebrews 13:5 also assures us that God will never leave nor forsake us. When life becomes difficult, His presence remains.

𝙂𝙤𝙙 𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨! Scripture reminds us that we were bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:20) and that we are precious in God’s sight (Isaiah 43:4). Our worth does not depend on how others see us. It comes from the One who created and redeemed us.

𝙂𝙤𝙙 𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙣! In John 15:16, Jesus says, “You did not choose me, but I chose you.” Being chosen by God is not merely a privilege. It is also a calling to live according to His purpose.

These truths lead us to one simple but powerful lesson: we must learn to hear what the Lord says. In a world filled with voices telling us who we should be, where we should go, and what we should value, God’s voice must remain the one we listen to most.

The question is not whether God speaks. He does. The question is: Are we listening?

Because when God says, “You are unique. You are never alone. You are precious. You are chosen,” we should not only hear His words. We should believe them and live by them.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God...Revelation 1:8

A tree's strength is determined by its roots. If its roots are deeply planted, it can withstand storms, strong winds, and changing seasons. In the same way, our lives become stable and fruitful when they are firmly rooted in Jesus Christ. The foundation of our life should always begin with Him, because when the beginning is right, the ending will also be right.

Jesus declares in Revelation 1:8 that He is the ‘Alpha and the Omega’, Beginning and the End. This truth reminds us that Christ is not only present at the start of our journey but remains faithful through every season until the very end.

First, He is the Beginning (Isaiah 44:6). Every decision we make should start with God. Whether we are starting a business, planning our future, pursuing our studies, choosing a career, entering marriage, or simply beginning a new day, Jesus must always come first. A life that honors God at the beginning is a life built on a firm foundation.

Second, He is the Present (Isaiah 41:10). Life is filled with uncertainties, but God's promise remains: "Fear not, for I am with you." We are never alone in our struggles because Christ walks with us every step of the way, giving us strength, guidance, and peace.

Finally, He is the End (2 Corinthians 2:14). The Lord leads us in victory as we faithfully follow Him. Whatever challenges we face, our confidence rests not in ourselves but in the One who has already overcome the world. As Jesus said in Revelation 1:17–18, He is the Living One who conquered death and holds the keys of life forever.

May we always remember: Jesus is not only the Author of our faith, He is also the One who faithfully completes it. Let us make Him our first priority, trust Him in our present, and confidently entrust our future to Him. For when Christ is our Alpha, He will surely be our Omega.

Text: Luke 11:28 But Jesus answered, “Rather, how happy are those who hear the Word of God and obey it!”

Kinds of Obedience
1. Inconsistent obedience
2. Calculated obedience
3. Conditional obedience
4. Unconditional obedience - why did Abraham easily obey God? It’s because of FAITH! Faith is what we need first before we can obey.
*In the wilderness, the time when Moses led the Israelites to exile, the Israelites obeyed, but they had no faith; they wanted to “see” things the way they wanted, and that’s not faith. If we obey but murmur, it may lead us to prolonged “wilderness”.
*Daniel 3:16-18, Shadrach, Meshac, and Abednego’s loyalty and faithfulness to the Lord protected and saved them. If we obey, God will protect us.

1. Obeying God in small matters is an essential step in receiving God’s greatest blessings. - Luke 5:4-6; if there’s no instruction from God (guidance) it’s hard to do things; Proverbs 3:6
2. Our obedience always benefits others. - Acts 16:31
3. When we obey God, we will never be disappointed. - Deuteronomy 28:1-2;

“𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙤𝙗𝙚𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙤𝙧𝙙, 𝙃𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪. 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙗𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜.”

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚
Messenger: Sister Norma Cordova

In a world that constantly urges us to chase more, gratitude reminds us to pause and appreciate what we already have. Today’s message, “The Power of Gratitude”, based on 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Sister Norma Cordova emphasized that being grateful is not merely a polite response to blessings but a lifestyle that reflects a heart anchored in God.

Gratitude has the power to change our 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚. Instead of dwelling on what is lacking, it redirects our eyes to God's unwavering faithfulness. Even in difficult seasons, there is always something to thank Him for because His goodness remains constant. A grateful heart sees God's hand even in the smallest victories.

It also 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙨 our faith. As Philippians 4:7 reminds us, God's peace guards the hearts and minds of those who trust Him. Looking back on His faithfulness gives us confidence that the same God who carried us through yesterday will sustain us today and tomorrow.

A thankful heart also 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙖 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜. As taught in 2 Corinthians 9:11, generosity flows naturally from gratitude. When we recognize that everything we have comes from God, we become more willing to share our time, resources, and love with others. A giving heart is the fruit of a grateful heart.

However, the message also warned us about the cost of ingratitude. It begins with 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 or failing to remember what God has already done. "Huwag kalimutan ang mga ginawa ni Lord sa'yo sapagkat ang mga bagay na iyon ang magpapalakas sa'yo."

Ingratitude also reveals itself through constant 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜. Philippians 2:14 teaches us to do everything without grumbling because, as shared in the message, “Ang pagrereklamo ay nagpapakita ng kalagayan ng ating puso." Complaints often shift our focus away from God's goodness and toward our dissatisfaction.

Another danger is 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙣. When Peter asked about another disciple in John 21:21, Jesus redirected his attention back to his own calling. The reminder is clear: comparison kills joy. God has a unique purpose for each of us, and contentment grows when we trust that He knows exactly what we need.

The message also challenged the spirit of 𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 or treating God's blessings as something we deserve. James 1:17 reminds us that every good and perfect gift comes from above. Instead of assuming we are entitled to His blessings, may our hearts always declare, “Hindi ko deserve ang blessing na ito, Lord, pero dahil Ikaw ay mabuti, tapat, at mahabagin, maraming salamat po."

Lastly, 𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 can slowly diminish our appreciation. Deuteronomy 8:12–14 warns us not to let comfort and abundance make us forget the One who provided everything. Blessings should never become so ordinary that we stop recognizing the Giver behind them.

As Sister Norma Cordova end the message, she invited everyone to stand and personally thank someone inside the church. It was a simple yet powerful reminder that we often overlook one of the easiest words to say: "Thank you." As heartfelt embraces were exchanged and words of appreciation were spoken, many were left with full hearts and tear-filled eyes. It was a beautiful picture of gratitude in action and a reminder that every blessing, both from God and through the people He places in our lives, should never be taken for granted.

Text: 2 Peter 3:17–18

Spiritual growth is not measured by how long we have been Christians but by how much our lives reflect the character of Jesus Christ. As believers, we are called to continually mature in faith, allowing His example to shape our thoughts, attitudes, and actions each day.

Why do we need to grow like Christ?

1. Jesus Christ is Holy (Acts 3:14)
Christ's perfect holiness reminds us to pursue a life that is set apart from sin and dedicated to honoring God.

2. Jesus Christ is Loving (Luke 19:10)
His unconditional love teaches us to care for others selflessly and to seek those who are lost with grace and compassion.

3. Jesus Christ is Compassionate (Mark 6:34)
Jesus responded to people's needs with genuine mercy, encouraging us to show kindness and empathy to those around us.

4. Jesus Christ is Prayerful (Hebrews 5:7)
His faithful prayer life demonstrates that true strength comes from maintaining a close and constant relationship with the Father.

5. Jesus Christ is Humble (Matthew 11:29)
Through His humility, Jesus showed that greatness is found in serving others rather than seeking recognition.

Philippians 2:5-7
The life of Christ is the perfect model for every believer, and as we grow in holiness, love, compassion, prayer, and humility, we fulfill God's desire for us to have the same mindset that Jesus demonstrated through His life and sacrificial service.
