At His Feet

"He sank, he fell, he lay still. At her feet. And where he sank, there he died." Judges 5:27 Wherever you are, Be still. I am here. I am here. At His feet you sank, fell  and laid still. At the feet of your bride Jesus. I will also be still, At the feet of my Prince. And as we die from all our dreams and desires. Die from our selves. As we lay still at His feet, I know there, we will surely meet. At the Cross. At His feet. Only at His feet.

“Restless? Be STILL”

See the picture? That’s our University field. It’s so vast for me even I’ve seen it almost my whole life. Growing up inside the campus, growing up seeing all of these for 22 years, I still never get use to these. Masarap mag senti sa mga lugar na ito. Maaliwalas, tahimik at malawak- kasing lawak ng imagination ko. Peace. Lately, I’ve been struggling with peace. Heart. Mind. Body. Soul. Whenever I see this vastness I would dream again. That God would fill this with so many young people that will worship Him, give their lives to Him. And you know what? It excites me. And scares me. It makes me happy. And makes me nervous. Maybe it’s just really part of my personality. As Kabacan Ministry is taking off- Sunday services and open cells, my list of goals and dreams also increases. It’s not a bad thing- having goals are all important so that you would know if we really are progressing. “But we must hold on to the progress we have already made.” Phil3:16. Since all of these are happening,...

I'm Under Construction- His Work has just Begun

"And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns." Philippians 1:6 Yeah..ito ang Devo ko kaninang umaga. As in maaga. Yung tipong 2 am ng umaga. Today, was the only day of the week na nagising ako ng ganun kaaga. I was talking to my Discipler(Jesus). Habang naguusap ako sakanya, I was asking anu ang Ishashare ko na Word for the Joint Opencell. Then it all came while we were talking- Faith: What, Why, Who we are hoping for.. Pero ang topic ko ay "Under Construction". As in ako. Lately, marami akong pinagdadaanan na "reconstructions". Masakit din sya, corrections and rebukes from God and even from my leaders- di lang nila halata kasi di ako nagpapahalata. Grabe na pala ang nareceive. So, for the past few days, I've been having this. Phil1:6 is not just a Promise to keep but also a Command. The real Work has just begun. Kaya di maghinto, magpatulo...

“Treasure in Fragile Jars”

 2 Corinthians 4:6-7 “ For God who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. We now have this light shining in our hearts but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure . This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.” I’ve been pondering upon these passages for almost half the day. What does it meant “fragile clay jars containing this great treasure?” Ahhhh..finally I got it!! (Lord it takes long if it’s only me, thanks for the patience!). We are the fragile clay jars. Our bodies are that fragile clay jars the passage was discussing about. And knowing God, seeing the glory of God through Christ, there was this light that ignited in our hearts. Like a great treasure. And then I remembered the parable of the Kingdom of God was likened to a hidden treasure: Mt. 13:44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure h...

Anne Rice - I Am Second

Anne Rice - I Am Second Anne Rice. Who doesn't know her? I grew up knowing her as the Queen of horror in novels. Watch her testimony. Anne’s Story After thirty-eight years of authoring books about vampires and darkness, Anne Rice grew up in a devoted Catholic family, knowing the importance of God and obtaining something in life beyond materialistic things. Still, she felt unshakably confined within the parameters of religion. At the age of eighteen, she walked away from it all and chose to live a life believing that ,”In order for me to grow up, I have to put God aside.” Though her professional career was very successful as an author of Vampire tales, she was a Christ-haunted person. “I knew that as long as I denied Him, I wouldn’t know rest or peace. You must know that you can’t save yourself through art of music. You can’t do it through travel or wealth. Your attempts to achieve salvation alone ultimately amounts to nothing.” She found herself very ready to go bac...

Stephen Baldwin - I Am Second

Stephen Baldwin - I Am Second I grew up watching his movies. Seeing and hearing him speak about Christ is amazing. Watch his testimony. "Loving Jesus is the most important thing for me." "Q: What’s more important to you today: movies or ministry? A: Neither. Loving Jesus is what’s most important to me. I made the decision to do that and it’s been quite powerful. What’s more important is my willingness to be obedient to whatever God has." Power Testimony...

"If I have not Loved.."

1 Corinthians 13:1-3: " 1 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; [ a ] but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing." This is my devo for today. I put it an my blog as an entry because it really broke me. It broke me inside because lately it's been becoming busy in the Ministry. My week would be packed with winning, consolidating people and discipling the leaders. Sunday Service here. PEPSOL there. Cell here. And this verse was like an eyeopener to me. I might be lost in all of the work and I would forget that "if I have not Loved' it is all for Not...
