12 Observations we never see as sins,
between us and God

1. We go to work early, but we come to church
late. God is the keeper of time.

2. We beg our boss when we do wrong but
threaten to leave the church whenever there
is misunderstanding. God is all knowing!

3. We work hard to be promoted at work but
treat the work of God lightly.
God is not to be mocked.

4. We pay all our dues in the workplace but
refuses to pay tithe in the church. Spiritual
robbers.

5. We buy costly things for our boss to get a
favor, but we can't even buy something for
the pastor.

6. When we are not going to be in the office we
take permission ahead from our superior, but
expect the pastor to pay us visits when we
miss a Church without notice.

7. We fear and respect our bosses more than
God.

8. When we are sick, we manage to get to work
but skip church at the slightest excuse.

9. We take an official query serious but take
rebukes in church with disdain.

10. We tolerate our colleagues in workplace
but cannot tolerate brethren mistakes.

11. We turn off our phones during official
meetings but we disturb God's service with
different phones' ringtones.

12. We can work overtime at work, but
complain seriously about hours spent in
the Church!!!

We need to re-assess our lives to conform to God's standards. He knows everything we do!

“He is in a better place now.“
That statement does not apply to everybody who died.

Tell people the TRUTH if you love them. Everybody does not go to heaven. Everybody is not resting in peace. A lot of folks are in hell because they did not repent and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior when they were alive. The Bible says there is no Peace for the wicked. (Isaiah 48:22)

Yes Hell is Real and people go there everyday.

We can REST IN PEACE when we die, if we:
REPENT and turn back to GOD.
ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST as our personal LORD and SAVIOR. BELIEVE on His DEATH on the cross and on HIS RESURRECTION.

Be ye saved while we are still alive.❤️
Now is the time for salvation.

"Kung para sa'yo, para sa'yo."

Hindi mo kailangang ipagpilitan ang isang bagay, senaryo, o tao sa buhay mo kung alam mo naman na hindi ito "kalooban" ng Diyos.

Kapag sinunod mo ang gusto "mo" lang, at hindi ang gusto "Niya", tiyak na mapapahamak ka.

Walang pilit kapag galing kay Lord.
Walang hahadlang kapag galing kay Lord.
Walang habambuhay na sakit kapag galing kay Lord.

Kapatid, huwag mo nang ipaglaban kung pinapabitwan na Niya sa'yo. Masasaktan at mahihirapan ka lang.

Hindi 'man ganon kadali sa una, pero pangako sa'yo, mas masarap sumunod kahit hindi mo plano, dahil ang pagsunod ay may katumbas na pagpapalang higit pa sa inaasahan at ipinapanalangin mo.

Ngayon, paano nga ba malalaman if para sa'yo?

- When there is "peace."
- When you know that there are confirmations from the Lord.
- When everyone around you is rejoicing.
- When you are growing.
- When you know that it will glorify God.

Kaya kapatid, kung malinaw na sa'yo o kaya naman ay nag-hhold back ka pa rin sa isang bagay o tao na pinapabitawan sa'yo ng Lord, this is a sign for you to let go.

When you LET GO, you GROW.
Breakthrough ang kasunod diyan! 🥰

Ministry is a privilege ---pero hindi ibig sabihin pwede nang mag-"feeling privileged" ang sino man sa'ting nasa ministry. Having a position, influence or responsibility is never an excuse for anyone to be arrogant! The truth is, kaya ng Diyos palitan ang kahit sino at kaya Niyang maglagay ng kahit sino para punan ang bakante.

The Bible is full of stories proving this truth. God is able to raise David, an ordinary shepherd boy, to replace Saul, the disobedient king. Si Saul ay magaling na military and political leader pero hindi nito napigil ang Diyos na palitan siya.

The same way, ang mga ordinaryong tao sa baba ng lipunan ang tinawag ni Jesus to be His disciples, hindi ang mga hypocrite religious leaders of that time. Maaring mga educated, influential, at skilled sila, making them good candidates of being God's messengers, yet Christ chose the humble and teachable, regardless kung ano mang kakulangan ang mayroon sila. Indeed, God can replace and raise anyone for His purpose.

At kung tayo ay nasa paglilingkod, this truth should teach us to be humble.
Kapatid, kahit gaano tayo kagaling ---pwede tayong palitan anytime.

Walang obligasyon ang Diyos na panatilihin ang sino man sa taas. Wala ring utang na loob ang Diyos sa kahit sino man sa'tin. God can replace you and me if needed, kaya huwag masyadong pakampante. Kahit gaano man ka-effective at successful ang isang ministry, it will not change the fact na pinagkatiwala lang ito sa'tin, si Lord pa rin ang nagmamay-ari nito. (Kaya paalala lang, hindi talaga iyo ang ministry na hawak mo.)

And as ministers, we are accountable to the Lord, kaya pati ang attitudes natin ay dapat na nasa tama habang tayo ay nasa paglilingkod.

Regardless kung ano mang paglilingkod ang mayroon ka, ginagawa mo man 'yan sa loob ng church o sa labas, may nakakakita man o wala, marami mang naaabot ng ginagawa mo o kakaunti lang, pino-post mo man sa social media o hindi, you are expected to do it for the Lord. As it was said, "whatever you do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Cor 10:31).

Sa bawat paglilingkod, ang glory ay dapat kay Lord lang mapunta. God knows our motives, alam din Niya kung nangunguha na ang kahit sino sa'tin ng glory for ourselves.

It is a requirement to everyone in the ministry to constantly evaluate our hearts. Pride remains Satan's most effective tool para pabagsakin ang mga naglilingkod sa Diyos. Pride always goes before fall (Prov 16:18). At kung mayroon nang pagmamataas, we can expect God to do what He has to do, dahil dinidisiplina ng Diyos ang kanyang minamahal (Prov 3:12).

"Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." Matthew 23:12

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves."
Philippians 2:3

"Bawal ba maki-trend kapag Christian?"

Dear Woman of God,

You need to know modesty, and more importantly, you need to care about it.

Marami nang nauuso ngayon, lalo na sa social media. At kapag trending, maraming sumusunod, maraming tumatangkilik.

In 1 Timothy 2:9, Paul uses the word "kosmios" to describe how a woman should present herself, which is translated as "modest" or "respectable."

Pero hindi naman lahat ng uso ay "masama" o "bawal." But what I am trying to point out is that, it should honor and please God.

Your worth will never be found sa likes, shares, popularity, face, money, intelligence, and all, but always remember, your worth is ONLY found in CHRIST alone.

Modesty is not just about what we wear. Ito rin ay kung ano yung lumalabas sa bibig mo, how you think, how you act.

The question always is, "does it glorify and honor God?"

Let us build a generation na hindi "go with the flow." Dear woman of God, dapat naiiba ka. Hindi KJ ang hindi sumunod sa uso. We only have an audience of ONE, and that's Jesus.

Glory ni Jesus ang nagpapaganda sa isang babae. 🙌🤍

John 3:18 - “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son."

John 14:6 - Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me."

At midnight, while Paul and Silas were in prison, they began to sing and praise the Lord.

Suddenly there was a great earthquake and the very foundations of the prison were shaken. The prison doors were opened and their bonds were loosed.

Not only were Paul and Silas set free, but by morning the jailer and his family had received Jesus as their Savior.

If we grumble about the problems that surround us, we only empower them to remain the same. The breakthrough comes when we praise God in the midst of our circumstances. (Acts 16:25-32)

"And those who know your name
put their trust in you,
for you, O LORD,
have not forsaken
those who seek you.”
