Hillsong's New Album



This is going to be the new album cover of Hillsong entitled "Across The Earth". I believe this album will make more people to draw near to God and more people will come to know Jesus. This Hillsong people songs are some of the things that make me appreciate God more and worship Him more than I did yeaterday. The more I listen to their songs the more I realise the whole purpose of life, SURRENDER and WORSHIP to GOD with all my heart, with all my strength, with all my mind, with all my soul and with all of my being. I pray that more and more Christians would rise up and make difference in this world and make Jesus known to all the generations of today and to come.

Can't wait for this new album to come out!!!

I will surely buy this album when it is available.

God Bless You All people!!!

A Simple Devotion

1 Alalahanin mo ang iyong Manlilikha sa panahon ng iyong kabataan bago dumating ang mga araw at taon na puno ng kaguluhan, panahong hindi mo na madama ang tamis ng mabuhay.

2 Alalahanin mo ang Diyos bago makubli ang sikat ng araw, bago magdilim ang buwan at mga bituin, bago ka matabunan ng makapal at madilim na ulap.

3 Alalahanin mo siya bago humina ang iyong katawan, bago manghina ang iyong mga bisig, bago mawalan ng lakas ang iyong mga tuhod. Alalahanin mo siya bago mabungi ang iyong mga ngipin at bago lumabo ang iyong mga mata.

4 Alalahanin mo nga siya bago dumating ang panahon na sarado na ang mga pintuan at tumigil na ang tunog ng gilingan; bago dumating ang panahon na madali kang magising sa himig ng mga ibon, o ang tunog ng awitin ay tuluyan ng tumigil.

5 Alalahanin mo siya bago dumating ang panahong katatakutan mong umakyat sa mataas na lugar, bago dumating ang panahong di ka na makalakad na mag-isa, bago pumuti ang iyong buhok, at lipasan ng pagnanasang sumiping sa minamahal.


Darating ang araw na tayo'y pupunta sa huli nating hantungan at marami ang tatangis sa lansangan.

6 Darating ang araw na malalagot ang tanikalang pilak na nagdadala sa ilawang ginto; babagsak ito at madudurog. Darating din ang araw na malalagot ang tali ng timba at ito'y babagsak at masisira.

7 Alalahanin mo siya bago manumbalik sa alabok ang ating katawang lupa at ang ating hininga ay magbalik sa Diyos na may bigay nito.

Guest Blog: The Good Thing About Having Faith

A Guest Blog from Hannah_of_Cavite.

Faith is according to Hebrews 11:1 "1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

An assurance to ourselves that things we haven't seen yet will happen. A certainty of a thing even we haven't witnessed it with our our physical eyes.

Faith is the only thing that separates us from the world, it is also giving us some power through the Holy Spirit that sometimes we really cannot understand how it's done. Although faith is one of the things that we should have as a christian, it is undisputedly has big impact in our life, through faith we are being saved and it is not by our good works. Without this faith we completely do not know how to face this corrupted world. Most people who do not have faith always ending up killing themselves or going mad.



Para sakin hindi mo matatawag na faith ang faith 'pag hindi mu pa nagagawang sumuko (surrender) sa will ni God. Try natin tignan ang mga tauhan sa bible kung ano ang nagawa ng pagkakaroroon ng faith sa kanilang buhay, ilan dito ay matatagpuan sa book of Hebrews Chapter 11.

*By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.

By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away.

By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.

By faith Abraham, even though he was past age—and Sarah herself was barren—was enabled to become a father because he[a]considered him faithful who had made the promise. And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.

By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions about his bones.

By faith Moses' parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

By faith the people passed through the Red Sea[d] as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days.

By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.


O 'di ba, astig ang mga taong 'to. That is the good thing about having faith in God.

Siguro ako kung wala akong faith e hindi ko na alam kung nasaan ako at ano na ang katayuan ko sa buhay ngayon. Where ever I go and what ever I do I' always seeing to it na hindi mawawala ang faith ko kay Hesus(Jesus). Kaya ngayon ang sarap mabuhay araw-araw kahit na may mga banta ng pagsubok sa buhay, dahil nandun yung pananalig ko kay Lord e. Pananalig na tutulungan n'ya ako basta lang magpray ako sa kanya then through holy spirit makakatanggap ako ng revelation on what to do and what will happen.

I believe you can do the same thing my fellow believers, I do not know about you but what I am certain of is that as long as you keep your faith in Christ Jesus,you are in good hands, no one can touch you nor harm you. All your hearts desire will be granted just always take delight in the presence of God. Do not let anyone or anything keep you out of track. If you loose faith whille running in this life on earth then you will have no difference from those other people.

Faithless is a lifeless Christian life.

Minsan nga nalulungkot ako kasi may mga friend akong Christian na walang faith, siguro meron man pero hindi sapat para ma-overcome nila yung mga napagdadaanan nila sa buhay at mas naghahari pa yung pangamba at pagkaligalig.

Brothers and sisters do not be like that, remember we have a very big and powerful God behind us that always has helping hand whenever we ask with faith of course.
Meron nga akong isang text message na natanggap dati about faith. Kwento yun ng isang tribo o village ng mga magsasaka at matagal-tagal na rin silang hindi nakararanas ng ulan. Ang mga pananim nila ay natutuyot na at hindi na namumunga ng matino. Ngayon nagkaisa silang lahat na manalangin sa Diyos para bigyan sila ng ulan at nagtalaga sila ng isang partikular na araw para manalangin ng sabay-sabay. At sa mismong araw ng pananalangin, my isang bata na lumabas ng kanilang bahay na may dala-dalang payong.

That is an example of having faith. Yung nageexpect ka na mangyayari ang isang bagay na hiniling mo kay God even though hindi pa ito nangyayari before or wala pang signos o hudyat na ito'y magaganap.

Without faith, more people will become poor in all aspects, many will become more and more desparate, brokeness will not ease but continue, lives will be taken away unwanted left no choice, more spiritual lives will become downcasted.

What my point is that we should maintain the frequency of our faith in Jesus or should I say not maintain but keep on growing, seek more of Jesus' presence and His face all our life and in every area of it until we have the spirit and faith that can stop the whole earth from spinning like what Joshua did when he prayed to God.

Happy Love Day!

Today most people around the world celebrate the love or hearts day or what we called "Valentine's day". Nariyan ang batian ng Happy Valentine's day at tila ang bawat isa ay inlove na inlove lalu na yung mga may kapartner o kasintahan at 'pag wala kang kasintahan it sounds like that Valentine's day is not for you and you feel so alone and so lonely. Marami kasi sa atin ang pagkakaunawa sa mga ganitong araw ay para lamang sa mga my kasintahan kaya nga daw tinawag na hearts day o love's day kaya wala na lang ibang ginagawa kundi ang magpaka-EMO hanggang maglas-las ng sariling mga pulso (Kawawang nilalang).

Fortunately for Christians like us we clearly understand that Valentine's day is not the only day we can express our love to one another or to our partners in life and most of all we understand that this day is not only for those who have girlfriends, boyfriends, wives and husbands but also for those who do not have one but friends.

Here is the great and wonderful news from the bible and I know that you are already too familiar with this verse.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

God Loves us the most. More than love that our friends, families and partners in life could give or the the world could give. God's love is unfailing and never ending, God's love is not only for the month of February it is for everyday and everybody.

So as followers of Christ, we should love one another as He loves us, Love them everyday and show our love to them daily not just for this month.

Hindi ba mas masarap mabuhay kapag feeling mo e araw-araw Valentine's day. Lagi kang my pagmamahal sa puso mo na parang walang problema, lagi kang nasa mood at 'pag nakaganun magtataka sila at magtatanung kung bakit ka ganun kumilos so opportunity pa yun para sabihin mong Christian ka and it is because of Jesus, then you share them Jesus edi naging magandang halimbawa ka pa sa ibang tao and nakapagshare ka pa ng Gospel.

If we heart Jesus let us also heart people. If we love Jesus let us also love His people.

Mahalin and Diyos...

Mahalin ang tao...

Mahalin ang buhay...

at mahalin ang sarili .
Bible says that if you have the faith that can move mountain, you give to the needy, you do all good things, you are humble ngunit walang pagmamahal sa puso lahat ng iyon ay balewala.

Love should be shown and expressed...


Everyday.

Every circumstance no matter what.

Wherever you are.

Whoever you are with.

And Whatever you do.

God bless you people.

Interview With God

Hi today I was only surfing the net looking for something nice and wonderful...

Surf here....surf there... browse here... browse there until I fell on this article about an "Interview With God". Sounds interesting to me. So read the whole article and now it is here just wanna share this to you people hope you would like. I tried to look up who was the author but to no avail.

"INTERVIEW WITH GOD"

I dreamed I had an interview with God.

“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.

“If you have the time” I said.

God smiled. “My time is eternity.”
“What questions do you have in mind for me?”

“What surprises you most about humankind?”

God answered...
“That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up, and then
long to be children again.”

“That they lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health.”

“That by thinking anxiously about the future,
they forget the present,
such that they live in neither
the present nor the future.”

"That they live as if they will never die,
and die as though they had never lived.”

God’s hand took mine
and we were silent for a while.

And then I asked...
“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons
you want your children to learn?”

“To learn they cannot make anyone
love them. All they can do
is let themselves be loved.”

“To learn that it is not good
to compare themselves to others.”

“To learn to forgive
by practicing forgiveness.”

“To learn that it only takes a few seconds
to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them.”

“To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most,
but is one who needs the least.”

“To learn that there are people
who love them dearly,
but simply have not yet learned
how to express or show their feelings.”

“To learn that two people can
look at the same thing
and see it differently.”

“To learn that it is not enough that they
forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”

"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.

"Is there anything else
you would like your children to know?"

God smiled and said,
“Just know that I am here... always.”

Heaven or Hell?

I have heard many times before from different people of different races that you cannot earn to get into heaven. You cannot be good enough to get into heaven. It is so sad to say and to know that no matter how we want to become, we won't be assured to be in heaven when we die unless we accept Jesus' offer and let Him stay in our heart and take over our lives.

Have you ever lied?

Have you ever stolen?

Have you ever been jealous of someone?

Three of the commandments you have most probably broken. Seven more commandments to go. So we are all guilty of sin. We all fall short of the glory of God, non are righteous, not even one. So by asking for forgiveness and accepting Jesus Christ into your life you will be cleansed of your sins. It is a free gift of God. Being a good man is only a judgement by people upon themselves. I know plenty of people who call themselves good but others would call them bad. So who is right about what level of Goodness is enough for God? Non. No one is good enough for heaven but God loves us so much that he sent his one and only son that who ever would believe in him would not perish but have eternal life. Hell is for the ones who do not accept the free gift of Jesus. Wanting to go to heaven is like wanting to be with your loved ones on earth.


Have we ever thought how heaven would look like once we get there?

We could somehow say that heaven is something like...

"Where is there a country without sin, crime, lawlessness, bloodshed, disease, death, sorrow and heartache? Heaven is a country in which there is the absence of all that is common to any land, for in God's country there are no barriers, no walls or curtains to divide; no race barrier; no soldiers because there are no wars; no policemen because there is no crime or sin; no undertakers because there are no graves; no physicians because germs, fevers, pestilences, diseases are unknown; no thieves because there is no darkness. Who would not yearn for this better and more desirable country in which there are no separations, no broken homes, no drunkards, no prisons, no hospitals, no beggars, no persons who are blind, deaf, dumb or destitute? What a country! Are you not homesick for Heaven? --H. Lockyer


What about hell? Dante Alighieri said...

"There sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep; strange tongues, horrible language, words of pain, tones of anger, voices loud and hoarse, and with these the sound of hands, made a tumult which is whirling through that air forever dark, and sand eddies in a whirlwind."


so...

Bad or Good?

God or Evil?

Jesus or Satan?

Salvation or Damnation?

Surrender or suffer?

Live or Die?

Heaven or Hell?

One Thing

I was just wanting to post this video on this blog and share to you as every time I listen to this song, my heart melts in the awesomeness of God. And most of the time I usually find myself cannot say any word but silence, The silence of adoration is what they call that no word could ever describe how...

...wonderful our God is
...great is His love for us
...Powerful His name is
...mighty His hands are.

I Believe God loves math especially multiplication, why? because I just learned that the more we love Him to more love HE gives back to us...the more faithful we are to him the more blessings we receive from Him. And the more people go away from him the more He draws himself near to those people that He had come to a point of becoming human so he maybe able to talk to us in human heart and human understanding. To make us understand what God and love and reconciliation are all about.

Enjoy listening to this song and before we listen, lets make sure that we have taken off all the things that make our minds and hearts worry and replace them with the presence of Jesus instead.

God Bless People!!!



One thing I desire
One thing I seek
To gaze upon Your beauty
And Your majesty
God of my salvation
Lifter of my head
Teach me how to live oh Lord
In Your righteousness

So I pray to You
So I pray to You

Lord Your name
Is higher than the heavens
Lord Your name
Is higher than all created things
Higher than hope
Higher than dreams
The name of the Lord

In the day of trouble
You cover me
In the secret place of refuge
Lord I will sing

I will seek Your face
Call upon Your name Jesus
All I want is You
Jesus
