I belong to this church
I have been in the faith since August 26 last year, a "soul-win" by the Lord's instrumented people. And for the past seven months, I have been feeling so secure now that I ever have.
"I belong to this church." These were the exact words I undoubtedly uttered in my mind while I joined the colossal of believers on witnessing the stupefying lifting of the Jesus Christ to God be the Glory banner up above the center stage.
From the bleachers down to the white chairs, the bounds of the dome were already suffused of worshipers as early as six am. The crowd were Spirit-filled of readiness to give praises and thanks as the church turns 27.
Seats were barely seen unoccupied and I was one of the many who parked on the stairs along the lower boxes on the left, thwarting anyone seated behind as they walk down for the washroom. To God be the Glorians from the satellite churches from Luzon and all the way from Visayas and Mindanao came along for one Sunday celebration.
"Twenty seven years of joy. Twenty seven years of suffering, and twenty seven years of sacrifice," as quoted from the words of our beloved Bishop Louis Santos as he began to stand in front of all of his sheep and preach the Word of God entitled, "Passion."
Satan is to control the world. He is to destroy everything and everyone by destruction and tribulation in an inconspicuous way. There will be no manifestations of commotion or conflict as everything will seem so peaceful and fine.
Bishop showed some local video excerpts of documentaries on the futuristic technology. I was so alarmed by the fact that microchips implants in humans is soon to happen here. The Anti-Christ will soon take over the world and will use the modern technology to steal, to kill and to destroy.
And above all, we should have the right passion to serve the Lord. His grace is enough for us to be saved. It's either we go straight to heaven or be damned in hell... no purgatories nor anything in between after the death of the flesh.
Had blissfully participated in the roving team of SLP after the revered celebration. Now, looking forward to whatever that accords to His Will.
In everything we do, to God be the Glory!

Winter Fire presents Somebody that I used to know
Last February 17 held the first Nugen Winter Fire of the year entitled, “Somebody That I Used to Know”. As it can be described, it was an overflowing cup of success. At least a couple of hundred of Nugens attended and got the honor to hear God’s message.
Initially, guessing what the topic will be all about basing on the title itself pops up the thought of hearing series of lecture tackling more about the love-life bandwagon in line with the Valentine craze of February. And it turned out that it is more about self-check messages triggering to update our current status with the Lord.
From time to time, we, especially those who are in a relationship, tend to consume most of our thoughts on the status we share with the “somebody” who gives us the sweet tingling fuzzy feeling. And the Winter Fire was able to knock on our hearts and minds telling us that the moment is the perfect time to check each and everyone’s status towards God.
The message imparted to us was that God is capable to disremember those who bring Him so much pain; those who don’t seek for forgiveness and repentance. Sister Sheena raised the question, “Are you somebody God used to know?” This was the same question I became wary of. It came to me that making God forget me is the least thing I ever wanted to happen. Getting to the point when God won’t be hearing me any longer is not on my list. Sister Sheena together with Sister Wei has reiterated that it’s time for us to get up and be noticed. I shouldn't be waiting for the tragic moment- God forgetting my name- before I make a show off.
God is not to be called a “somebody”. But most unfortunately, for some, they have come to the point considering God as somebody they used to know. Each and every one of us is a candidate for losing sight of God so we must keep covering the fire within us and don’t ever let it be blown.
Remember that no one could ever exceed His love for us. No matter how great we think our boyfriends and girlfriends love us, He loves us more. Rather wasting our time with people who turn their backs from us, who break promises and leave us in pain, we should be spending time with Jesus whose promises are always kept, whose love is unconditional and forever.
The exhilarating jamming session, fun ice-breaker, revered preaching, and scrumptious dinner all funneled to the bottom line: If you feel that He is not hearing you, you should strive getting the spotlight. Always pray and act like a child convincing the Father, so He may notice us, hear us, recall our names and remember us as His children.

Whimsical relishes
Above was the motion picture I've directed, and edited as well in favor of my long-time friend, Mara for their second anniversary with her boyfriend.
