Don't Miss The Call!

Reflecting on Jonah 1 As i read Jonah 1, God revealed to me many things such as: +The Call: everyone of us are called. And most of the time our calling is not just bout us-its for the benefit of others. Like Jonah, he was called to testify to Nineveh to save the people. Same with us. When God calls us, He calls us to Him for others. Loving God and Loving people. Remember: pagtinawag kani Lord di lang para saiyo mas lalong para sa iba. +The Choice: the Call also comes with the Choice. When God calls we are given a choice to run towards Him and God's calling or to run away from Him and his call. Remember: when you say No to God, you say No to the Call. When you say Yes to Him, you also say Yes to the call. Simple. God NEVER forces Himself to us. But the call and the choice comes with... +The Consequence: whichever we choose, we pay a price. If we say no, we pay the high price of running away from God. When we say yes, we also pay the high price of the call. Price of...

Live a life Worthy of your Calling

This post is dedicated to my ever loyal and faithful team of 12 of Women and also the Men I was 'co-shepherding' in the Church in Kabacan. For the past few weeks, I've had early mornings and late nights of sleeplessness. It's usually I am in tears, hands shaking and pleading to God on my knees. It was here where I could only find security and peace. In one of my devotionals, God have spoken very clear to me through the words of the Apostle Paul through the 4th chapter and 1st verse of his letter to the Church in Ephesus. It goes like this: 'Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.'  It was one of those verses during your reading that sort of pops up at you and leaves you speechless. And I started to meditate on it; chewing it until I got out the last juices of it. Read almost word for word in the dictionary. What is a Calling? When you hear or read those words, ...

Love Came Down

Love Came Down by Brian Johnson Verse 1 If my heart is overwhelmed and I cannot hear your voice I hold onto what is true, though I cannot see If the storms of life they come, and the road ahead gets steep I will lift these hands in faith, I will believe Pre-Chorus I remind myself of all that you’ve done And the life I have because of your son Chorus Love came down and rescued me Love came down and set me free I am yours I am forever yours Mountain high or valley low I sing out and remind my soul I am yours I am forever yours Verse 2 When my heart is filled with hope, and every promise comes my way When I feel your hands of grace, rest upon me Staying desperate for you God, Staying humbled at your feet I will lift these hands and praise, I will believe ...." I am yours, I am forever yours".. I listen to this song and I'm reminded of God's great love and why I should do what He wants me to do. When everything seems unclear, I think how your love came down- Through Chris...

The Calling

God is Calling Today, the calling is so compelling, it overwhelms me to the brim. I am not worried, for once you promised me that, " For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jer 29:11. There was that peace. God, today your telling me, 'It's Time', You gave me "Why" and you gave me "How". But I kept on waiting "When"will it be. Finally, it's "Now". God, I am crying out to you. You see my heart. See what is inside of my heart. Dig deep until you find you. Today, my plans will be Your plans. My desires are your desires. My wants is what you want. And my will be Your will be done. "Amos (Lec-lec), take your visions and get out! Go back to Judah (Kabacan) and earn your living there as a prophet. 13 Don't do any more preaching at Bethel (Davao). " 14 I answered: I'm not a prophet! And I wasn't t...
