Sunog Mindanao FIVE!!

A Gathering and Equipping of Spirit-Empowered Leaders All over Mindanao..

Wow!!Last night was the Opening of the Conference in Almendras Gym, Davao City. The gym was filled with so many Disciples of Christ…

It was my first time to attend the SM and it was a humbling experience. You know Why? I wasn’t supposed to attend, I had a scheduled business trip out of town. And God required faith. My out of town trip was schedules a month ago with all the budget already set and planned. But deep in my heart I really want to attend the Conference. All I did was I paid the registration fee even though I wasn’t sure.

Alas! A week before the conference my Boss informed me that I would really be the one who will be sent for the out of town. That’s when I finally accepted it, I prayed to God with a grateful heart. I said to Him, “If it’s your will that I could not attend because you had other plans, so be it.” I packed my bags and got my head on the game, for a long week of Sales and Business.

Then just a day before the conference. My trip was cancelled.

Amen!!!jajaja..God must have been laughing up there and telling me, “I told you so!! Just believe.”

I remember this quote that when you pray for rain, bring an umbrella. Thank you Lord for a simple but amazing testimony… Faith..Never limit God.. To God be the Glory and God bless!!!

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see

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...
