Till Next Time

Yesterday was the last time for me and the Saturday music team to sing / play during the Saturday service the VCF-Taft Pedro Gil Center; since we'll be transferring to a new location at Harrison Plaza - Village Square! :)

I can say that I feel sad and excited at the same time. Sad because for a time, we won’t have any Saturday service and excited at new ‘land’ where God has called us. By the way our new location has a bigger capacity (1000 seater!), will have new equipments and a great location, near the Central Bank, Harrison Plaza Mall, Philippine Sports Commission and De La Salle University to name a few. God has definitely blessed us!

I thank God for giving me the opportunity to sing for Him these past months with the Saturday Music team. I’ll miss the camaraderie with the team members, we’ve been with each other through think and thin… for one purpose… to praise and glorify God through the talents He gave us. Being part of the music team, is an experience I won’t forget… singing for God, seeing the people praising and worshiping the Lord is amazing!

To the team members… I’ll cherish the moments we had, the memories we’ve shared… During this 'time of rest' I know we can serve God in other means... He'll be calling us to reach-out to people, maybe some to other teams / ministries. I believe the harvest in our new home will be great! I look forward to again singing and playing instruments with you for our Lord. Till then, may God bless you always! Always take care!

Psalm 33:2-4
2 Praise the LORD with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3 Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.
4 For the word of the LORD is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.

Long time

It's been awhile since I last posted something in my blog. Well, been very busy with work and plans hehehe :) Well, I'm back! Weee! So excited to share how God has worked in my life these past few months.

He's been faithful that He has lead people to whom I can share His glory (see photo) - Snappy (middle - wearing green) and Paolo (besides snappy - wearing orange). They've accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. My brothers in Christ may you always look to the Lord for strength and guidance.

Isaiah 58:11

The LORD will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.

God bless always!

Cartoons!

Below are a couple of funny but thought provoking cartoons. All came from the ReverendFun.com website :D
This is what Jesus did on the cross for you and me :)












Yups... God's original design is perfect but due to sin... well - I guess you get the picture of how the world is :D











Computers are complex machines... but it required someone with logic and intelligence to create it. Every living thing in our universe is far more complex than any machine we can ever come-up with... if machines required some form of "intelligence" to be created... what do you think of living things? Evolution? Big bang? An accident? Freak of nature? What do you think?

Breaking the Fast, Movie Time and Fellowship

Last thursday (Jan. 12), I broke the fast that lasted for 1 week. It was an experience I will never forget... an act that I'll be doing regularly in my walk with God :)

Well, what a way to start the year... facing trials and tests during the moment when I'm at my weakest (physically) - people often think that people fast because of a "prize" or a prayer that we want God to answer... but if that will be the case then... is fasting a way to "twist" God's arm? Just for us to get our prayers answered? Is fasting a way to "make" God into a genie who answers all our wishes? I think fasting for centuries has been viewed in the wrong way... if you read the Bible... fasting is an integral part of being a Christian... people often think that it is a way for God to "hear" us... but rather... the real heart of fasting is for us to hear God... to know God... to have a deeper relationship with Him... that He is the source of everything we have and we are. God Himself is the prize... A relationship with Him is the very reason why we fast... every blessing that comes after that is simply a bonus :) The whole point of fasting is re-aligning to God and dedicating your life to strive to get to know Jesus better. I'm looking forward to all His plans and purpose for me this 2006 and my life...

FYI... my fasting was - 3 days [water only] and 4 days [1 meal a day]. In the future, I'll do 1 week water only but I'll be preparing my body for that hehehe :)

I'm so thankful to God - sustaining me and my fiancé during the fasting period... He also strengthen us as we go through the trials and testing during our engagement. I know that when God places things in our lives it is for the better. Me and my fiancé believe that these tests will strengthen our relationship... but importantly... it'll strengthen our relationship and faith in the Lord :) We might not understand the tests... but we know the heart of the test giver... and as is written in the Bible... God's will is good,pleasing, perfect (Romans 12:1-2). Thank you Lord! :)

Me and my fiancé watched "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", we were with our spiritual brother and sister... Taki and Meng Cuevas. I can remember that Taki and Meng's relationship was one of the "seeds" that lead me to this journey of mine... knowing and surrendering - Jesus as Lord and Savior of my life. Me and my fiancé enjoyed the fellowship and the movie. Hearing how God worked in Taki and Meng's life is a testimony of how powerful and loving God is. You can read Taki's blog through my blog links at the side panel.

With regards to the movie... man! It was great! Probably one of the best movies I've ever seen. C.S. Lewis was able to portray the very heart of what Christianity is all about. The battle over man... what sin will do... the "wages" of sin... the ultimate sacrifice (what Jesus has done for us)... what we can do as Christians... talk about tons and tons of symbols of how we are as a Christian! I can say that the movie strengthened my faith in God :) I talked to my fiancé already about investing in an original DVD... Weeee! :)

I'm Engaged! Day 4 of 7 day Fasting

God is great! :) Yep the title of this blog posting is correct... I'm engaged to a very loving, caring, beautiful woman of God. It's really different when God is the one who wrote your love story. Talk about miracles and plans unfold under His Lordship. As stated in

Matthew 6:33
"Seek first His kingdom, and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you aswell."

It's a promise by God himself that if we just choose to focus on Him, to make Him number one in our lives, to really have faith in Him and surrendering everything to His Lordship He'll be blessing us... and this blessing is beyond our wildest dreams. I like to tell everyone that God is not a bystander... He's not an uncaring God who will just watch you do things... but He's an active and loving God who would like to bless you... He's a God who would like to be involved in your life, not some spectator that most religion says He is.

I created a new blog for my fiancé, check it out --> My 100 Reasons

Hmm, I expect lots of "bumps" on the road but... We'll be moving by faith... We strongly believe that God called us to do this... and amidst opposition, we'll move forward... For God said so. I know one day everything will be great because God is a gracious God. :)

Deuteronomy 15:4-6
4 However, there should be no poor among you, for in the land the LORD your God is giving you to possess as your inheritance, he will richly bless you, 5 if only you fully obey the LORD your God and are careful to follow all these commands I am giving you today. 6 For the LORD your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you.

We'll I'm in my 4th day of fasting and c'mon! God continues to nourish me through this fasting season... :D I love Jesus so much! :) Weee!

Gone Fasting Whoa! Weee!

Been awhile since my last post hehehe... well, happy new year to everyone... man! I believe this will be a year of breakthroughs, blessings and experiencing new and more exciting things / events under the Lordship of Jesus Christ! Weee! :)

Well, our church (Victory Christian Fellowship) - is doing it's annual 7 day fasting. I'm excited to undergo this... the longest fast I did was a 3 day water fast and man it was amazing! :) I'm excited to forego of solid food and juices for the next 7 days and focus on the Lord (only taking in water).

I'm in my 2nd day of fasting and very funny... sardines now seems to be as enticing as eating a big chuck of steak! The smell of food is increadibly tempting... but just like what Jesus said in the bible...

Matthew 4:1-4
¹Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. ²After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. ³The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread." ⁴Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

For those wondering why fast? Click on this link :) I believe that prayer and fasting is a vital part of being a Christian... some view fasting as mere tradition or obligatory... but I belive fasting is relational - a relationship with you and the Lord Jesus Christ. C'mon! Weee!
