I Can't Wait to Wait For You...

Today, as I was meditating during my devotional, I realized I’m going to wait.

Last night, one of our Youth Network Pastors will be getting marry. I don’t know when will be the final date but everyone are excited. You know Why? She’s a NBSB (No BF Since Birth) and been faithfully serving the Lord. More to that, she commited her life to God.

Yesterday we saw someone sitting beside her. Not the usual guys in the Church, but a new face. Everybody is watching them and all are excited and have these kilig feelings. I asked my Mama (Spiritual Mother-Discipler) ” Ma, sino po ung lalaki na kasama ni Pastora?” (Who is that guy with Pastor?). She said he was a friend. But my main question was Who he really was in her life. Mama only said that I should ask pastor herself because she won’t hesitate to answer (Transparency!). But I was a bit embarrassed to ask her directly. But Mama gave a clue, she said to me as her discipler and friend, ” Nak, hintay ka lang nak. Maghintay tayo kasi darating lang talaga sya. Tulad ni Mama” or ” Nak, just wait. We will wait for the one intended for us will surely come. Just like Mama(Pastora is my Disciplers’ Discipler-Spiritual Mother). “

But before the day I ended I summed up the courage to ask her personally.

Me: Pastor, is he the one?

Pastora: Yes!

Me: Wow! nadasig ko para sa imo! (Wow! I’m excited for you!)

Before I slept that night, I was really happy to see someone who waited all those years and without doing anything like texting, chatting or anything like flirting. She just prayed and maybe, I may not know their story yet, He was praying too. The time came when God Himself revealed to them each other (So true!!).

So now, wherever you are, I can’t Wait to Wait for You. I love you..

Bring them back to Repentance? IMPOSSIBLE

This message in Hebrews 6:4 to 6, can be a warning to 3 people: Those who ‘turned away from God”; Those who have not ‘turned away from God and; Those who know people who “turned from God”. It stands as a warning to us. Have we heard God’s voice and trembled? I don’t mean fear that keeps us from coming to God, but the kind of fear that is spoken in Proverbs as “the foundation of wisdom.” We fondly pray that God would speak to us and hear His voice but do we really know what we are praying? It reminded me of the Israelites who were at the foot of Mount Sinai. When they heard God’s thunderous voice, they did not dare come nearer and asked Moses to speak in their behalf (Deuteronomy 5:23-27). To quote Francis Chan, “When you pick up your Bible, you are actually holding something better than a voice coming out of a cloud on the top of a mountain.” So this warning must really create a Holy fear in us that will keep us from turning away from God. It ...

Blogging again!

I miss blogging! So after nights of sipping on my coffee and thinking (and also looking at the stack of paper of all my preaching notes) I've decided to blog them. :D Since becoming a pastor 3 years ago, I would prepare for my sermons or preaching every week. It doesn't include the time I would also prepare for my G12 cell group with my core leaders and opencell life groups we conduct. I also have notes for every class I conduct on our Post-encounter, School of Leaders 1 and 2. So yes, if material is the question, no doubt I have plenty of those. Then I also though of what I am passionate about. It was always been this- reading, writing and speaking. It's also a way to keep my leaders updated of all that's happening to the church here in Kabacan; where the Spirit of God is leading us and what are some of the issues that needs to be addressed as it also resonates in the emphasis of each preaching I share. If you happen to read one of my blog posts feel free to co...

We All Have Two Women inside of us (if you're one) or with us (if you are a Man): the Wife or the Mistress

Whenever I read the book of Proverbs, I always want to be like her. Wisdom is always defined and personified as a woman calling out to the simpleminded and those who lack good judgement to join her in her feast. Can you imagine that? Wisdom is like a banquet host. What she says, the words of wisdom are like a home cooked meal! Partaking wisdom is like eating. Much like in Psalm 34:8 it says, "taste and see". I always liked her. Actually I wanted to be like her. Each chapter that she is described differently but makes me want more to be like her. Persistent and Unashamed In Proverbs 1 she is a Persistent Woman and unashamed. She calls out, cries out even in the public and to the crowds. She persistently calls out to share not just her counsel but even her own heart. I am greatly challenged by this as a pastor and discipler. When, just like Wisdom, you also experienced this lines: “I called you so often, but you wouldn’t come. I reached out to you, but you pai...
