Natutong Isulat



                                                        My JournalsYear 2017

Taong 2013, gamit ang notebook at ballpen ay nagsimula akong magjournal. Natutunan ko ito sa aming Deaconess. May paraan siyang ibinigay sa amin kung paano namin ito sisimulan. Ang morning devotion ay binubuo ng Scripture, Lesson/Reflection, Application, Prayer (SLAP). Ang Scripture  ay pagbabasa ng Salita ng Diyos at isusulat yung talata na kung saan nangusap sa iyo ang Panginoon. Ang lesson ay patungkol sa kung ano ang natutunan sa napiling talata. Ang application ay kung ano ang nais gawain na konektado sa nabasa at naisulat na talata. Ang panghuli ay ang pagsulat ng iyong sariling panalangin (Prayer). Sa gabi naman ay itinatala ang mga bagay na ipinapasalamat (Things I'm Grateful About), mga mahahalagang pangyayari sa araw na iyon (best thing happaned/worst thing happened) at laging nagtatapos sa panalangin. 

Ang pagjo-journal ay nakatulong sa akin upang personal kong makilala ang Panginoon. Sa pang-araw araw na nakababasa ako ng Kanyang Salita ay naliliwanagan ako sa mga bagay-bagay. Hindi ko ito agad agad naipagpatuloy. Dumaan din ako sa punto na nahihirapan ako dahil maraming mga bagay na dapat tapusin sa school at sa bahay. Patigil-tigil din ako at mayroon ding pagkakataon na gumagawa na lamang ako dahil ito ay linggo linggo na tinitingnan ng aming Deaconess. Noong una ay hindi ko nakita ang kahalagahan nito ngunit habang tumatagal hanggang ngayon taong 2021 ay lubos kong nakita ang kagandahang dulot nito sa akin. Nagpapasalamat ako sa aming Deaconess na nagturo sa akin na mag journal. Dahil sa kaganapang ito ng aking buhay, natuto ako na mapalapit sa ating Panginoon, kausapin Siya sa pananalangin, maisulat ang personal kong saloobin araw- araw at ang makita na laging may panibagong bukas ako na haharapin-panibagong umaga at pag-asa.

THE CONFESSION

     While I am reading a book title "Leadership That Builds" by Glenn Johnson, on its chapter title "A leader Must Have Integrity", I remember my life verse in Psalm 111:10 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and all who follow His precepts have good understanding, to Him belongs eternal praise." The book explains that fearing God is trusting Him with confidence, but this may fail when you feel guilty at some point in your life.  The hindrance of our confidence in God is the feeling of guilt. In Nehemiah (Book in the Old Testament), which is the scriptural foundation of the said book, confession is Nehemiah's way on gaining confidence in God. He said in Nehemiah 1:6 " let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for your servants, the Israelites, confessing the sins of the Israelites, which we have sinned against you. Both I and my family have sinned."  ...

Devotion The Greatest Commandment

  Matthew 22:34-40 NRSV The Greatest Commandment 34 When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, 35 and one of them, an expert in the law, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” 37 He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Is it enough to just know? Is it enough to just know the greatest commandment? What is the greatest commandment? We should know the greatest commandment. And we should obey it as the LORD commands. In our text today, the beginning verse started with the Pharisees and the experts of the law gathered together. One of them questioned Jesus about the commandment. This one, who is a law expert, tried to test J...

Sermon -The Family of God

  Title: The Family of God Biblical Reference: Luke 15:11-32 Focus Verses on 15: 25-32             Luke 15:11-32 is known about the story of the Good Father and the Prodigal Son, but it is seldom heard in a sermon about the elder son in the story. For a quick background of the story, the father has two sons and the younger son asked his father to give him his inheritance. When the younger son received his inheritance, he decided to go away and spend his wealth to please himself. He experienced struggles being away and lost everything until he realized that he was wrong about his decision and decided to go back to his father, not as his son but as a slave. The father was very happy when he saw his younger son return. Because he was lost and now found. The father’s happiness is not limited to affirmation and forgiveness. The father even made a celebration and welcomed his son without condemnation. However, the reaction of t...
