Three types
Feb 27, 2010 Blogs
We cannot measure God’s wisdom. Pity on those who think they know they answers. Pity on those who think they have potentials. I don’t mean this negatively. There’s always something special in us. But those doesn’t mean, it’s naturally from us. It’s a God given gift. Most of us are able to find it, but not able to use it the way it’s intended to. God has set something in our hearts to use for His Glory. That’s the main reason why we live. God made us to know Him, love Him and to serve Him.
I loved this sermon I heard a few months ago. It’s about three types of life drivers.
1. There’s a type of driver who just wants to enjoy the ride and lets the devil take the wheel. Obviously, you will find him in dark areas such as: disco bars, night clubs. Drugs, alcohol, sex and destruction are often times associated to him. That’s because, where the devil is, there he is. He lets the devil own his life and he just rides with him not knowing when and where it’s gonna end.
2. There’s another type of driver who takes over the wheel and drive for himself. That’s because he has confidence that he knows what he’s doing. Most of the time, his idea is that, he owns his life and he knows who he is, thus he knows how to operate his life and make it turn out successful in his own ways. He drives his life safely, cause he can see the road and he can see the enemies. He drives securely knowing his life is at stake. He’s a good driver but he can’t make it through. Why not? Simply because he doesn’t know which way to go. He can drive properly but when he reaches the crossroads, he wouldn’t know where to go next.

Rainbow Always
Feb 25, 2010 Blogs
I’m singing the song “Rainbow” by South Border. It’s not like it’s my favorite song, it’s just that I like the message and the melody itself is catchy. It goes something like:
♪♫ Take a little time baby
See the butterflies’ colors
Listen to the birds that were sent to sing for me and you
Can you hear me?
This is such a wonderful place to be ♪♫
…Everything will be alright
For as long as the world still turns
There will be night and day
Can you hear me?
There’s a rainbow always after the rain ♪♫
I agree with the song. Literally, there’s always a rainbow after every rain. I’ve seen it myself. Children even say there’s a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Anyway, if we dig deeper into this song, we’ll find it also true when it comes to matters of life.
We get problems and all, confusion and suffering, sorrows and tears. But life is not all about sadness. Right? I strongly believe everyone in this planet knows how to smile. Even fools smile, not knowing what they’re smiling for. Everyone in this world has known happiness and peace. Although we never really get all the things we want in life, God never fails to give us peace and happiness in many ways. Some people just try not to see that cause they want to be consumed by their own miseries – to give them enough reasons to do things that are not supposed to be done. That’s a whole new story though and we’ll not talk about that here. Maybe next time.
Anyway, I think my point is clear today. Just a self-reminder.

Miracle Story #1
Jan 19, 2010 Blogs
This was originally from our Pastor at Celebrate God’s Goodness Fellowship Center. They once lived in an area surrounded by NPA (New People’s Army).
NPA is the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines. It was formed on March 29, 1969. The Maoist NPA conducts its armed guerrilla struggle based on the strategical line of ‘protracted people’s war‘.The NPA has been classified as a terrorist organization by the United States.
The NPA operates mostly in the rural areas and their targets often include politicians, military, police, criminals, landlords, business owners and occasionally U.S. agents in the Philippines.
Our pastor was preaching the Word of God in their area, until they got tired of him and wanted to do something with it. One day, our pastor and his family noticed some rattling noise from outside. When he tried to look through a hole, he saw the gunmen surrounding his house. They all felt horrible and he had his family hide in safety while he kept looking through the hole. He was listening to their conversation and noticed that they were not doing anything.
He heard one of them saying, “I’m sure, their house is here somewhere. It was just here”. One of the leaders of the troop told him, “Are you sure? There’s nothing in here. This is just a big rock and nothing else”.
Our Pastor was so amazed to hear that. He can see them, but they couldn’t. Since they only saw a big rock. The gunmen just grew tired so they all went home.
God was surely protecting our Pastor and his family, and that was a great miracle he has shared with everyone for the past 20 years now.
