Being a YEAST

      My travel today is not my regular business trip.  It is to pay respect to a very dear woman.  A woman who is never tired of doing good.  Good not to benefit herself, and family but for the community.  A woman who defines sacrifice by doing it, because her heart understands the plight of the communities who needs help.      I am talking about this person in this news item.  http://bulatlat.com/main/2014/09/09/development-worker-killed-in-abra-encounter/ Call all negative emotions to describe the impact of her loss is my present emotional state. Our last visit to Baguio with my family was last Holy Week 2014, I don't know by then, it  was our last fellowship together.  Whenever she knows we're going to the North she never fails to ask to drop by Baguio City. She never fails to ask how are the kids doing? But most specially to our angel. The moment she learned we're dropping by, She constantly coo...

There is nothing new under the sun. We can read that  in the book of Ecclesiastes.  Since we are mortal beings we will surely pass this earth in our lifetime. What makes it challenging, is we don't know WHEN?  Many of us are in denial of this timeframe. Others do not want to talk about this either.  But listen to what God is saying with regard to this topic.   "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Psalm 90:12 NIV).   How to number our days?  According to World Health Organization (WHO) data, " 70 years was the average life expectancy at birth of the global population in 2012" . Numbering our days is simply subtracting 70 to your present age.  In my case I have 9,855 days or 328.5 months or 27 years EXPECTED remaining days.  What is the importance of knowing this? Imagine yourself in a doctors clinic and diagnosed of ALS. Why ALS? It is because of that viral ice bucket challenge? I used this example because being d...

So sad to see christian events being marketed like a POWER BRAND. Convention announcements bearing the name of the Leader with no name of JESUS at all. In the New Testament, we can read a perfect example of an opportunity for Peter and John to SHINE. In Acts 3:12-26, instead of taking credits for themselves, they change the direction of the SPOTLIGHT to JESUS. Another is our reason in going to church. Which is better together or MEETING with the ONE TRUE KING? There is nothing wrong with HYPED MARKETING tag lines, what's wrong is sending a different focus apart from the true purpose of going to church. Acts 2 depicts the creation of the first Christian Church. Beginning in verse 17 to 36 Peter talked about JESUS alone, he did not talked about being a member of a group, or joining a boot camp for 3days. But Peter just simply pointed everyone to the Messiah our Saviour. Being in church alowed them to experience the goodness of God, seing miracles of healing, deliverance, ...

 Goodbye chair! I will not surely miss you, but will not forget you. White Multipurpose Chair You are like my BEST FRIEND who is always there, from day 1 to day 6. As if you heard when doctors declared "platelet today is 41, but always giving hope that it will go up soon because WBC is at 5.2".  Maybe you will not miss my anointed Pastor who is the visitor who purposely sat on you. For sure you remain stationary, when blood pressure dropped to 90/60. When there was a struggle for breathing, and ordered the XRay to be immediately done inside the room. (Note: it is not covered by HMO and it's not cheap). When the radiologist published results that there is a possible lung infection. Maybe if you have a brain, it can not process the outcome of someone having a dengue virus + nosocomial pneumonia  (hospital acquired pneumonia categorized as deadly). However God's wisdom is on the super cool Doctor, saying it is not a lung infection. The ordeal of low platel...

The Lord is good and has been proven long before by the nation Israel. He is the same yesterday,today and forever. Psalm 126:5-6 NLT Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy. They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest. The idea of "Giving til it hurts" is not only a preachers jargon. But it is God's word of promises to us. That if we are faithful in our giving we will soon harvest with joy and singing. Now it is time to try, to give til you cry.  — at  Sammy Suites .

Prescriptions are not only for the physical body but also for  our soul. Remember we are tripartite, this means we have body, soul and spirit.  Our soul refers to our emotions, intellect and will. We should not neglect the condition of our soul.  Because our soul is like a mirror to our being.  Proverbs clearly points out specifics why  we need to read Proverbs once a day. Did you know that the book of Proverbs has 31 Chapters? Reading this book synchronized with the calendar, simply means you will be able to read this book 12 times in a year.  Below are reasons why we need to read God's. word. Proverbs 1:2-4 NLT Their purpose is to teach people wisdom and discipline, to help them understand the insights of the wise. Their purpose is to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives, to help them do what is right, just, and fair. These proverbs will give insight to the simple, knowledge and discernment to the young. It is comple...

Psalm 135:6 NIV The Lord does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths. If we have this knowledge and acknowledge His sovereignty in all His creation, we will limit our questions on why things happen. Out heart should always have the humility to acknowledge God in all His Power and Splendor. All Praises and Glory to God Almighty. posted from Bloggeroid
