My Brethren are all God-Given

We have an awesome God.

When i started in the ministry years ago, i always heard the pastor say after every preaching..."don't forget our soul winning program". Win souls for Christ. Lead others to Christ. Go and share the Good News of Salvation.

It's not about showing how big the congregation is but how faithful and gracious God is on giving chances for others to be saved also. It's all about His grace, mercy and love. It's not about the work that we do but the life that He gave and sacrificed for mankind. It's all about the BLOOD.

Praise the Lord. It's all for His glory. People had been set free...from bondage, from sin, from self, from the enemy.

Here's the newest photos in our Church here in the Philippines.

To God be the Glory forever and ever. Amen

Through Prayer Blessing Flows

I always believe in the power of PRAYER and more so in the power of our Righteous Lord.

Thank You Lord for all the blessings and the joy in receiving them. I pray that as You bless us, we can be a good steward of it all.

Thank You also for Your love, grace, mercy, strength, joy, peace, loving kindness and for Your salvation.

Mark 11:22-25 (New King James Version)

22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Because We Cannot Say No

Pastor always reminds us that our calling is "irrevocable" as what the Bible says too.

For years that i have been a part of the Music Team, i have learned that the platform is just a form, an object, a design....but once you stand there, that platform became something. It's a form of obedience, it's an object of praise, it's a design for change.


Acts 20:24 (King James Version)


But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.


The ones who stand there became a living testimony of what a calling is all about. It's not only a Sunday thing, it's a lifetime commitment, it's a devotion, it's a service.

When your heart aches for more, God fills it with more....OF HIM. 

Pastor asked me to teach at one of Home Bible Study Cell. At first, i was hesitant. Because i am afraid, or should i say scared. I am not confident that i can do it because my knowledge in the Word of God isn't that good or excellent compared to others. I am not "well-versed".

I am standing in the pulpit every Sunday, doing some exhortation, pray and sing but never did i imagine myself onto a Bible Cell leading others and teaching them about the Gospel.

So many people confirmed that calling. My pastor, my co-ministers in Music, my friends, my brethren, etc.

Until last August 18, 2010, i answered God's call. I started learning from the teachings. I started to seriously open the Bible, taking a closer look at every details of God's powerful revelations written in that book.

This made me closer to the family in that Bible Cell and then souls are coming, the Lord is filling the house with the lost....now i understand His purpose...BIBLE STUDY CELL as a way to lead the lost to Him. Awesome.

2 Thessalonians 1:11 (King James Version)


Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:


More to testify....:)
