FLASH FLOOD SURVIVAL GUIDE ⚠️🌊

When Super Typhoon Uwan hits, preparation isn’t panic—it’s survival.

🧭 BEFORE THE FLOOD

1. Build a way to reach your roof.
If your home doesn’t have roof access, create one now. Cut a hatch or mark a weak spot you can break open. Once floodwater blocks your stairs, escape becomes impossible.

2. Keep a real ladder ready.
Not a chair. Not a table. A sturdy ladder. When the power’s out and water’s rising, you won’t have time to improvise.

3. Prepare your rescue tools.
Have a hammer, axe, or crowbar within reach. You might need to break through a wall, window, or ceiling to survive.

4. Freeze bottled water early.
They’ll keep food cold when electricity’s gone—and once melted, become safe drinking water. Don’t rely on just one bottle.

5. Seal your drains and toilets.
Floodwater rises through pipes. Plug them with thick rags or plastic to stop dirty water from entering your home.

6. Turn off and lift up all electricals.
Unplug everything, move appliances higher, and switch off your main breaker before water arrives.

7. Secure your LPG tank.
Disconnect it, close the valve tightly, and tie it upright in a safe, elevated spot. Gas leaks during floods are silent killers.

8. Make DIY flotation aids.
Tie together sealed bottles, gallon jugs, or Styrofoam boxes with rope. Even a few can keep one person afloat. (If it floats, it helps.)

9. Protect your pets.
Use crates lined with sealed bottles or tie jugs to collars. Never leave animals caged below—they’ll panic and drown quickly.

10. Prepare an elevated survival kit.
Keep it high, near your escape route. Include a flashlight, whistle, rope, lighter, first aid kit, snacks, and bottled water.

🌙 WHEN THE RAIN BEGINS

11. Sleep ready to run.
Wear light, quick-dry clothes—something you can move in fast. Flash floods strike in seconds, often at night.

12. Charge and waterproof your essentials.
Powerbanks, IDs, documents, and cash should be sealed in waterproof bags and stored beside your grab bag—not in drawers.

13. Move cars and pets to higher ground early.
Don’t wait until the road turns into a river.

14. Place light sources in every room.
Headlamps, battery lamps, or candles in jars (to avoid tipping). Power always goes first—light means safety.

15. Fill containers with water if you can.
For cleaning and flushing once taps run dry. Not for drinking, but still essential.

🚨 WHEN THE WATER RISES

16. Prepare roof signals.
Have bright cloths, mirrors, or flashlights ready. On the roof, visibility can save your life.

17. Keep ropes nearby.
Use them to secure yourself, pull others in, or anchor to sturdy posts against the current.

18. Never stay in your car.
Cars float, flip, and trap. Once water touches your tires—abandon it.

19. Know your high ground.
Locate the nearest elevated buildings, schools, or hills. GPS won’t help when signals die.

20. Choose a family meeting point.
Agree on one high, safe location where everyone will regroup if separated.

21. Use garbage bags creatively.
Large trash bags can serve as ponchos, dry storage, or emergency flotation when filled with air and sealed.

22. Keep children and pets close.
Don’t assume you’ll have time to find them when the water rushes in.

🌧️ WHEN IT HAPPENS FAST

23. If the water surges—don’t wait. GO UP.
That’s why it’s called a flash flood. Move fast. Gain height. Don’t wait for any official alert.

24. On the roof: stay calm, stay visible.
Wave bright cloths, flash your light, or make noise every few minutes. Rescuers look for color and movement first.

25. If rescue delays—use floating debris wisely.
Coolers, plastic containers, and foam can keep you afloat. Stay near sturdy structures. Keep everyone together. (Last resort only.)

💬 Remember:
You can’t stop the flood,
but you can outsmart it.
Prepare today. Survive tomorrow.

“We are trusted with our Master’s talents for his service, in our places to do our best to propagate his truth, and grace, and church; and to bring home souls, and honor His cause, and edify His flock, and further the salvation of as many as we can.”

Richard Baxter (1615-1691)

THE PRICE OF BEING A PASTOR
Being a Pastor is listed among the four most difficult professions in the United States
because a Pastor must be:
•Preacher
•Shepherd
•Example
•Father/Mother
•Husband/Wife
•Counselor
•Conference caller
•Planner
•Minister
•Visionary
•Director
•Mentor
•Friend
•Reconciler
•Marriage counselor
•Youth Counselor
•Leader's trainer
•Bible teacher
•Intercessor etc etc
Besides being:
•Keeper of the temple
•Landskeeper
•Handiman
•Chauffeur
•Cleaning staff
Every Pastor constantly confronts
Reviews like:
The Pastor doesn't visit me
Sermons don't fill me up
The list is very long
Pastor's children are not an example according to others.

One of the most difficult things in the life of a Pastor is to know that at some point the people they love may abandon or even betray them.

The Pastor can often be the loneliest person in the congregation. You may see a Pastor surrounded by people, but very rarely are the people interested in their (the pastor and their family) problems, needs or even in their lives.

And let's not mention the demands that congregations place on Pastors' children.
For this I would like to give you advice: if you have a Pastor or have as friends Pastors' children take care of them, pray for them, connect with the vision that God gave them, support them, but above all love them. Remember they are human and in the same way they go through the same needs as you.

Even if you don’t believe it, many of them have sacrificed comforts, rest, personal plans and so many things including some of their own family’s needs to attend God’s call. And they do it with an overwhelming joy in obedience to the call of God, to serve as a Shepherd. It is all about the call.

Value the time your Pastor puts into the work of the ministry, the prayers he prays for everyone, the burden he voluntarily carries for YOU and the ministry. We, as pastors, know we will stand before God and we carry a burden for your soul, whether you willingly listen or choose to ignore. That rejection is not simply of him but the message God wants to put into your heart to help you become the godly person He wants you to be. You don't know how much he'd appreciate knowing you do know and care! We all wish we could be perfect pastors but we know we are not. But we love you, we loose sleep over you we laugh with you and cry with you.

Jeremiah 3:15 NLT
And I will give you shepherds after my own heart,
who will guide you with knowledge and understanding.
AFFIRMATION
Dr Sam Chand says, "We are built for affirmation" No one has died from too much affirmation. You need it, I need it. Go beyond thinking it and say it, get good at it. TRY IT!!!.. For all pastors 🙏

1 Corinthians 3:11-15
[11]For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
[12]Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
[13]Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
[14]If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
[15]If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

By; Bro. Andrew Shuttleworth

Just like everything else in this world, the church is going through a time of refinement. Overtime, the church has filled itself with so many worldly ways. We have moved so far from the living Organism that the church was designed to have been. We are the body of Christ on the earth and should be filled with Him in every way. So often the church has become and organisation rather than a living organism. Something you become a member of rather than something you are born into. Something that has structure, rules and objectives rather than love, life and submission to one another. The world and sin has been given it’s place in the modern church,

5 SIGNS OF HEALTHY CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP

By: Jeremiah Johnson

As we read through 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus, the qualifications and standards for church leadership are made very clear. Contrary to popular belief, none of them include the ability to demonstrate spiritual gifts and gather a large online influence but rather solely focus on CHARACTER and INTEGRITY.

This sober reminder to us all in the 21st century invites us to review and evaluate our own expectations and standards for Godly leadership.

Do you love, admire, and enjoy the ministry of someone online and want to make sure they are someone you should be receiving from according to the Word of God?

Here is the brief outline according to the New Testament:

1. Do they have a healthy marriage?

Divorce and adultery is practiced today in church leadership like people change underwear. Are there biblical reasons for divorce? Yes! Is God full of grace and mercy? Yes!

Social media ministry has become an excellent cover up for serious marital unfaithfulness and narcissism among too many ministers. Before you start supporting and giving all your money and time to leaders, please investigate to the best of your ability the quality of their marriage.

Are they single? Why
Are they divorced? Why
Why is their spouse never around the ministry?
Why do they only post online about their ministry and never pictures of their spouse?

BONUS: Ladies! Most of you can pick up on this immediately. You discern that lust, perversion, and narcissism and aren’t fooled by a large following and blue checkmark. Stick with the Holy Spirit!

2. Do they manage their own household well?

With so little value for healthy marriage in this generation, the emphasis on healthy family is even worse! So many ministers have children who hate God and are totally disconnected from the kingdom. These ”men and women of God” are apparently out saving souls and slaying demons but can’t figure out how to save and deliver their own families.

Do they have children?
Where are they and why do you never see them?
If you are around their children and they are rebellious, checked out, and wicked- why?

3. Are they sound in doctrine and the Word of God?

One of the qualifications of church leadership is the ability to handle the Word of God with integrity and have the capacity to teach. A love for content that makes the algorithm and crowds go wild online has produced so much unbiblical teaching. So many ministers are completely out of their lane doctrinally because they have to keep feeding the social media machine. There is not only an attack on healthy marriage and family in this generation but also little value on Christian education and bible degrees.

Does the minister you follow practice sound doctrine and regularly teach from the Word of God?

Do they have a legitimate bible degree or some years spent in ministry school or being trained in the Word of God? Having a bible degree is not a requirement to lead or meet Godly leadership standards, however, understanding and grasping the truth of God’s Word is.

4. Are they given over to drunkenness, a love for money, and controversy?

If you are following ministers online who are constantly posting about their haters, calling out people online, and stirring up controversy, you are looking at an individual who needs serious health and development.

“A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, and patient. They must be above reproach--not self-absorbed, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, and not greedy for money.” (Titus 1:7; 2 Tim 2:24)

5. Do they have longevity?

Many individuals have gained massive online influence for a season due to their charismatic expressions of casting out demons, healing the sick, prophesying, and becoming professional youtubers. While all of this is fine, none of this is an indicator that they are in right relationship with Jesus or do they meet biblical standards and qualifications for church leadership.

Are you amazed by the gifts of the Holy Spirit you see operating in the lives of ministers?

Where is the fruit also? Are they patient, kind, and loving? Please go back and now review points 1-4.

Is there a history of faithfully serving God for years or did they just pop up online out of nowhere?

Do they lead or attend a church? Have you ever been? Who is their accountability and covering?

I want to close with a guarantee to this generation.

If we will follow the Word of God and expect these five main qualifications among those we follow online and expect to lead, we will not fall into deception AND our own lives, marriages, and families will greatly benefit by receiving from those who are above reproach.

Proverbs 9: 11-12 TPT
11 Wisdom will extend your life,
making every year more fruitful than the one before.
12 So it is to your advantage to be wise.
But to ignore the counsel of wisdom
is to invite trouble into your life.
