Behold, He is coming with clouds . . . —Revelation 1:7 In the Bible clouds are always associated with God. Clouds are the sorrows, sufferings, or providential circumstances, within or without our personal lives, which actually seem to contradict the sovereignty of God. Yet it is through these very clouds that the Spirit of God is teaching us how to walk by faith. If there were never any clouds in our lives, we would have no faith. "The clouds are the dust of His feet" ( Nahum 1:3 ). They are a sign that God is there. What a revelation it is to know that sorrow, bereavement, and suffering are actually the clouds that come along with God! God cannot come near us without clouds— He does not come in clear-shining brightness. It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something. His purpose in using the cloud is to simplify our beliefs until our relationship with Him is exactly like th...

This Is The Truth If we turn things upside down We can’t hope for goodness to win in the Philippines I would be lying to you if I said that The Philippines has a great future ahead That altruism could replace egotism That your lives could be filled with joy That your children could be safe and healthy Before anything you must know The Philippines cannot accomplish these things And I am convinced of this because I know you Corruption and hypocrisy are in your nature Compassion breeds weakness when only the strong survive and I refuse to believe under any circumstance that You can turn things around in the coming years The Philippines may be sinking to the new depths but There are even more revelations to come The Philippines has one destiny And whether you like it or not This is what is real I am the Lord, Your God You should know I believe exactly the opposite Now read it from bottom to top and it will look like this: You should know I bel...

1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 3 Trust in the LORD and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 4 Delight thyself also in the LORD, and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. 6 And He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 7 Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. 8 Cease from anger and forsake wrath; fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. 9 For evildoers shall be cut off; but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 10 For yet a little while and the wicked shall not be; yea...

hehe.. .arrived here at 6:44 a.m. haha.. .ngayon na lang ulit nakapag-travel ng ganun kaaga.. .^^, and i was laughing quietly.. .hehe the teachers here are planning to go out tonight because it's payday.. . hehe.. .naka-group chat.. . and nakakatawa lang mga pinagsasabi nila.. .haha thinking that we're only cubicles away at hindi na lang mag-usap usap.. haha.. you'll just here teacher ron's giggles.. .hahahaha *** well, the very reason kaya ko pumasok ng maaga ay para magconduct ng level test.. .hehe.. .^^, but the student is not available.. .^^, so tambay mode na lang muna ang lola.. .hehe ^^, and i'm just eating goldilocks' choco slice.. .hehe wala pa kasing pinapagawa ang trainer.. .^^, hahaha.

. . . unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven —Matthew 5:20 The characteristic of a disciple is not that he does good things, but that he is good in his motives, having been made good by the supernatural grace of God. The only thing that exceeds right- doing is right- being . Jesus Christ came to place within anyone who would let Him a new heredity that would have a righteousness exceeding that of the scribes and Pharisees. Jesus is saying, "If you are My disciple, you must be right not only in your actions, but also in your motives, your aspirations, and in the deep recesses of the thoughts of your mind." Your motives must be so pure that God Almighty can see nothing to rebuke. Who can stand in the eternal light of God and have nothing for Him to rebuke? Only the Son of God, and Jesus Christ claims that through His redemption He can place within anyone His own nature and make that p...

I saw this written on my trainer's wristband.. . and I said.. . yeah.. .!

I tried to answer this one.. and, haha!!! got a D.. . well, haven't really explored the Philippines.. .^^, but in time, I will! My Lakbayan grade is D! How much of the Philippines have you visited? Find out at Lakbayan ! Created by Eugene Villar .

But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us . . . sanctification . . . —1 Corinthians 1:30 The Life Side. The mystery of sanctification is that the perfect qualities of Jesus Christ are imparted as a gift to me, not gradually, but instantly once I enter by faith into the realization that He "became for [me] . . . sanctification . . . ." Sanctification means nothing less than the holiness of Jesus becoming mine and being exhibited in my life. The most wonderful secret of living a holy life does not lie in imitating Jesus, but in letting the perfect qualities of Jesus exhibit themselves in my human flesh. Sanctification is "Christ in you . . ." ( Colossians 1:27 ). It is His wonderful life that is imparted to me in sanctification— imparted by faith as a sovereign gift of God’s grace. Am I willing for God to make sanctification as real in me as it is in His Word? S anctification means the impartation of the holy qualities of Jesus Christ to me. It is the...

Blessed are the poor in spirit . . . —Matthew 5:3 Beware of thinking of our Lord as only a teacher. If Jesus Christ is only a teacher, then all He can do is frustrate me by setting a standard before me I cannot attain. What is the point of presenting me with such a lofty ideal if I cannot possibly come close to reaching it? I would be happier if I never knew it. What good is there in telling me to be what I can never be— to be "pure in heart" ( Matthew 5:8 ), to do more than my duty, or to be completely devoted to God? I must know Jesus Christ as my Savior before His teaching has any meaning for me other than that of a lofty ideal which only leads to despair. But when I am born again by the Spirit of God, I know that Jesus Christ did not come only to teach — He came to make me what He teaches I should be . The redemption means that Jesus Christ can place within anyone the same nature that ruled His own life, and all the standards God gives us are based on that nature. The te...

You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am —John 13:13 Our Lord never insists on having authority over us. He never says, "You will submit to me." No, He leaves us perfectly free to choose— so free, in fact, that we can spit in His face or we can put Him to death, as others have done; and yet He will never say a word. But once His life has been created in me through His redemption, I instantly recognize His right to absolute authority over me. It is a complete and effective domination, in which I acknowledge that "You are worthy , O Lord . . ." ( Revelation 4:11 ). It is simply the unworthiness within me that refuses to bow down or to submit to one who is worthy. When I meet someone who is more holy than myself, and I don’t recognize his worthiness, nor obey his instructions for me, it is a sign of my own unworthiness being revealed. God teaches us by using these people who are a little better than we are; not better intellectually, but more holy...

... and that's what matters.. . I can really relate with the passage below.. . and it's just so timely.. . this day is really challenging.. . and indeed it's a test of faith.. . whose principle would you choose if you are faced with the principles of this world -- which is focused on physical attributes.. . if you would look at what the world is looking at, you'll find out that you lack everything.. . and that would be a very great stressor.. . i have heard once that the reason not to be happy is to compare yourself with others.. . but sometimes we tend to look at other people.. . how good they are in an area.. . etc.. . and sometimes upon realizing that, i really feel so low.. . ^^, but then I thank Him for His Grace.. . He's always reminding me that all i need is HIM.. . and that's a very very big advantage.. . the people may have everything in this world.. . but if they don't have Jesus, they'd feel very very empty.. . you may be good at one thing.. ...

. . how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! —Matthew 7:11 Jesus is laying down the rules of conduct in this passage for those people who have His Spirit. He urges us to keep our minds filled with the concept of God’s control over everything, which means that a disciple must maintain an attitude of perfect trust and an eagerness to ask and to seek. Fill your mind with the thought that God is there. And once your mind is truly filled with that thought, when you experience difficulties it will be as easy as breathing for you to remember, "My heavenly Father knows all about this!" This will be no effort at all, but will be a natural thing for you when difficulties and uncertainties arise. Before you formed this concept of divine control so powerfully in your mind, you used to go from person to person seeking help, but now you go to God about it. Jesus is laying down the rules of conduct for those people who have His Spirit, and it w...

for the past month.. .i've been a total bum! hahahahahahaha.. . I know that God had allowed me to take the November boards for something.. . it's just so great that I can rest.. . but actually, it's not about rest while waiting for the boards.. .hehe I know I have to do something.. . then I asked for a job.. . part time job (because I'm gonna take the board exams this November).. . I told Him that if the job will hinder me from ministering, I won't take it.. . and then haha! last week, I applied as an english instructor.. . and I was just amazed.. I had interviews yesterday and my training started this morning! hahahaha! I felt so blessed and so thankful yesterday during the interview.. . was just overwhelmed at how He moved.. . and so surprised that the job He gave me, it's actually what I prayed for! haha! indeed God answers while you wait. haha! and it's really worth it! yun nga lang, sa bandang likod ng megamall ung place.. . but it's fine.. . i just...

I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians . . . —Romans 1:14 Paul was overwhelmed with the sense of his indebtedness to Jesus Christ, and he spent his life to express it. The greatest inspiration in Paul’s life was his view of Jesus Christ as his spiritual creditor. Do I feel that same sense of indebtedness to Christ regarding every unsaved soul? As a saint, my life’s spiritual honor and duty is to fulfill my debt to Christ in relation to these lost souls. Every tiny bit of my life that has value I owe to the redemption of Jesus Christ. Am I doing anything to enable Him to bring His redemption into evident reality in the lives of others? I will only be able to do this as the Spirit of God works into me this sense of indebtedness. I am not a superior person among other people— I am a bondservant of the Lord Jesus. Paul said, ". . . you are not your own . . . you were bought at a price . . ." ( 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ). Paul sold himself to Jesus Christ and he said, in eff...

Joshua said to the people, ’You cannot serve the Lord . . .’ —Joshua 24:19 Do you have even the slightest reliance on anything or anyone other than God? Is there a remnant of reliance left on any natural quality within you, or on any particular set of circumstances? Are you relying on yourself in any manner whatsoever regarding this new proposal or plan which God has placed before you? Will you examine yourself by asking these probing questions? It really is true to say, "I cannot live a holy life," but you can decide to let Jesus Christ make you holy. "You cannot serve the Lord . . ."— but you can place yourself in the proper position where God’s almighty power will flow through you. Is your relationship with God sufficient for you to expect Him to exhibit His wonderful life in you? "The people said to Joshua, ’No, but we will serve the Lord!" ( Joshua 24:21 ). This is not an impulsive action, but a deliberate commitment. We tend to say, "But God c...

and be grateful always.. . ^_^ when you don't know what else to do.. . feelin' lost.. . tired.. . can't think of anything.. . just praise Him.. . when you feel like bein' silent.. . don't have anything to say.. . don't have anything to pray for.. . just praise Him.. . ^_^ make your heart His sanctuary.. . ^_^ He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Enter by the narrow gate . . . . Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life . . . —Matthew 7:13-14 If we are going to live as disciples of Jesus, we have to remember that all efforts of worth and excellence are difficult. The Christian life is gloriously difficult, but it difficulty does not make us faint and cave in—it stirs us up to overcome. Do we appreciate the miraculous salvation of Jesus Christ enough to be our utmost for His highest—our best for His glory? God saves people by His sovereign grace through the atonement of Jesus, and "it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure" ( Philippians 2:13 ). But we have to "work out" that salvation in our everyday, practical living (Philippians 2:12). If we will only start on the basis of His redemption to do what He commands, then we will find that we can do it. If we fail, it is because we have not yet put into practice what God has placed within us. But a c...

The parched ground shall become a pool . . . —Isaiah 35:7 We always have a vision of something before it actually becomes real to us. When we realize that the vision is real, but is not yet real in us, Satan comes to us with his temptations, and we are inclined to say that there is no point in even trying to continue. Instead of the vision becoming real to us, we have entered into a valley of humiliation. Life is not as idle ore, But iron dug from central gloom, And battered by the shocks of doom To shape and use. God gives us a vision, and then He takes us down to the valley to batter us into the shape of that vision. It is in the valley that so many of us give up and faint. Every God-given vision will become real if we will only have patience. Just think of the enormous amount of free time God has! He is never in a hurry. Yet we are always in such a frantic hurry. While still in the light of the glory of the vision, we go right out to do things, but the vision is not yet real in us. ...

If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also . . . . And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me . . . . So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple —Luke 14:26-27, 33 If the closest relationships of a disciple’s life conflict with the claims of Jesus Christ, then our Lord requires instant obedience to Himself. Discipleship means personal, passionate devotion to a Person— our Lord Jesus Christ. There is a vast difference between devotion to a person and devotion to principles or to a cause. Our Lord never proclaimed a cause— He proclaimed personal devotion to Himself. To be a disciple is to be a devoted bondservant motivated by love for the Lord Jesus. Many of us who call ourselves Christians are not truly devoted to Jesus Christ. No one on earth has this passionate love for the Lord Jesus unless the Holy Spirit has given it to him. We may admire, re...
