I Still Believe

Title: I Still Believe
Scripture:
Proverbs 16:1
The plans of the mind belong to mortals, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.

Proverbs 16:9
The human mind plans the way,
    but the Lord directs the steps.

Hello, how have you been? Kumusta?

Tonight, I unexpectedly watched a movie and its title is I Still Believe. This movie is based on the true story of an American singer and his faithful wife who died of cancer. I can relate to the movie because in the last two months my sister passed away because of her heart and skin disease. 

Just like how the married couple in the movie keep their faith in God so as our family, until my sister's last breath, prayed for healing and God's will.

My sister was in great pain. I saw her and it hurt me so much. I prayed to God. I prayed to God to heal my sister, I asked for a miracle. God has extended my sister's life for a week. 
But not a single word did she say she's going to die. She said , "laban lang tiwala lang."

When we pray it doesn't mean that it is going to happen the way we want it to be. We can say everything to God, we can tell him all. BUT, the answer is up to God, what He wants and wills.

When the will of God prevails, we need to accept it even when we don't understand it, even when it is a matter of life and death.

God is good, God is faithful, God is true to his words and promises, God has the best plan for all of us.

God gives us life on earth to experience the seasons of life ( in comfort and in pain) and he is always there for us. Life is about experiencing God's greatness in different ways. Death may seem the end but it's the time we can fully be with God through our faith in Jesus Christ.

We can trust God even when we can't see
Even when we can't see, let's still believe. And that's Faith.

"Suffering does not destroy faith, it refines it."
"God is worth trusting even when we can't see.'' (Melissa Henning-Camp)

Isang Taon at Pagkakataon

VIDEO:  https://web.facebook.com/share/v/1JVCyWh1mU/              Sa isang taon na ako ay nakadestino sa Anda Central ay maraming ako natutunan. Ito rin ang ikalawang taon ko sa aking full-time ministry. Ang ACUMC ay isang matatag na simbahan. Dumaan man ito sa hiwalayan, nagpatuloy ito kahit baguhan ang mga nakaupong mga opisyal. Hindi ko masasabing ito ay perpektong simbahan, ngunit nakita ko ang pagnanais na lumago hindi lamang sa bilang ngunit ganoon din sa pananampalataya. Hindi man ito agad-agad, nauna man ang paglago sa bilang, ngunit nagtitiwala ako sa pangungusap at paglago na ibibigay ng Panginoon para sa mga miyembro. Ang panawagan lamang sa bawat isa ay ang pagkakaisa, pagbibigayan, tapat na pagsunod sa ating Diyos, pagpapakumbaba, paglilingkod, pagpapatawaran, at pagmamahalan.             Nakasama ko sa isang buong taon ang aking mga minamahal na kamanggagawa sa iglesia sina Pastor Augusto as ...

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."  ...

MAGLIWANAG

  THEME: SHINE ON: CALLED TO BE THE LIGHT September 26, 2025   SCRIPTURE: Mateo 5:14-16 Magandang Balita Biblia 14 “Kayo ang ilaw ng sanlibutan. Ang isang lungsod na nakatayo sa ibabaw ng burol ay hindi maitatago. 15 Walang taong nagsisindi ng ilaw at pagkatapos ay inilalagay iyon sa ilalim ng banga. Sa halip, inilalagay iyon sa talagang patungan upang matanglawan ang lahat ng nasa bahay. 16 Gayundin naman, dapat ninyong paliwanagin ang inyong ilaw sa harap ng mga tao upang makita nila ang inyong mabubuting gawa at papurihan ang inyong Ama na nasa langit.”   INTRO: Kung mayroong gabi at araw, mayroon ding dilim at ____ liwanag.    Ang teksto natin sa oras na ito ay patungkol sa liwanag. Saan o kanina ba nagmumula ang liwanag, Sino ang liwanag, ano ang kahalagahan ng liwanag at bakit dapat na magliwanag?   I. Ako ang ilaw ng sanlibutan The Sun is the primary source of light in the planet as the SON (Jesus) is the primary source of ligh...
