MARCH 12, 2015- THURSDAY

TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.

OFFERING TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS, OUR MISSION WORKS.

RECEIVED P4,343 FROM OUR BRETHREN IN THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE WORLD.

THANKING OUR BRETHREN FOR THEIR COMPASSION, MERCY, AND KINDNESS TOWARDS US.

PRAYING THAT OUR GOD MAY HELP ALL OUR BRETHREN WHO HAVE BEEN HELPING US IN OUR MISSION WORKS.

AS THEY HAVE SUSTAINED OUR MISSION WORKS, MAY OUR GOD SUSTAIN EACH AND EVERY BRETHREN, THAT THEY MAY BE PROVIDED WITH THEIR DAILY NEEDS, AND BE BLESSED WITH ABUNDANCE THAT THEY MAY BE ABLE TO CONTINUE SHARING FOR THE MISSION WORKS OF GOD- TO PROVIDE FOR THE POOR AND THE NEEDY, TO HELP OTHERS SURVIVE WHEN SITUATIONS ARE DESPERATE.

OFFERING TO OUR GOD THE OFFERINGS OF OUR BRETHREN.

GAVE HELP TO POOR FAMILIES IN NEED- WITH SCHOOLING CHILDREN- FOR THE CONTINUANCE OF EDUCATION AND SURVIVAL, AND TO MEET NECESSARY NEEDS.

AS THESE POOR FAMILIES ARE PROVIDED WITH HELP FOR THEIR NEEDS, MAY OUR GOD CAUSE GRACES AND BETTER OPPORTUNITIES TO COME TO OUR BRETHREN WHO HAVE BEEN COMPASSIONATE AND MERCIFUL UPON US IN SUPPORTING OUR MISSION WORKS TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED. 

 MAY BY OUR MISSION WORKS, MAY GOOD WILL SPREAD TO THE WORLD, THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLDS WOULD BE INSPIRED TO DO WHAT IS GOOD, AND REGARD THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED, AND IN DESPERATE SITUATIONS- THAT THEY MAY LEND A HELPING HAND.

 MAY KINDNESS SPREAD TOWARDS THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, THAT THEY MAY BE INSPIRED TO DO WHAT IS GOOD, AND HELP THOSE WHO BARELY MAKE ENDS MEET, AND TO BE COMPASSIONATE AND MERCIFUL TO THOSE WHO HAVE NOTHING.

 MAY BY THESE MISSION WORKS, PEOPLE OF THE WORLD MAY BE INSPIRED TO DO WHAT IS GOOD, AND REGARD WITH KINDNESS THE PLIGHT OF THE POOR, THE WORKERS OF THE WORLD WHO ARE UNDERPAID,  THE UNDERPRIVILEGED, AND THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD WHO BARELY LIVE BECAUSE RESOURCES ARE DENIED FROM THEM.

 MAY IN OUR MISSION WORKS, THAT AIM TO HELP POOR FAMILIES TO HAVE FOOD, HELP THEM SURVIVE THIS DAY.

FOR THE P20 WE GIVE TO EACH FAMILY, IT WILL MEAN THE ABILITY TO BUY SOME RICE, WHICH WILL FEED A NUMBER OF MEMBERS IN THEIR FAMILIES, INCLUDING CHILDREN.

 THOUGH IT MAY SEEM LITTLE TO SOME, TO THEM IT MEANS SURVIVAL.

 FOR THERE ARE TIMES THAT THEY DO NOT EVEN EAT FOR THE WHOLE DAY.

 TO SOME, THEY BARELY HAVE RICE FOR THE DAY.

 THERE ARE CHILDREN WHO ARE AMONG THESE POOR FAMILIES.

 AND BY HELPING THEM IN TIMES THEY BARELY HAVE ANYTHING, THEY MAY SURVIVE FOR ANOTHER DAY.

 TO SOME, THEY WOULD THINK SUCH HELP IS INSIGNIFICANT.

 BUT FOR THEM, IT MATTERS A LOT.

 FOR BETWEEN EATING A MEAL FOR THE DAY OR NOT, SUCH HELP WILL MATTER.

 THEY BELONG TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY- CHILDREN UP TO THE ELDERLY.

 WE CONTINUE TO HELP THEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITH WHAT THEY HAVE, AS OUR OFFERINGS TO OUR GOD.

 WHATEVER WE DO TO THEM, WE DO TO OUR GOD.

 MAN TIMES THERE ARE DENIED HELP.

 MANY TIMES THEY HAVE BEEN MALTREATED.

 MANY TIMES THEY HUNGER.

 MANY TIMES THEY THIRST.

 THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ENDURE SUFFERING.

 AT AN EARLY AGE THEY SUFFER MUCH FROM THIS WORLD.

 THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ENDURE- AND DO WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE.

 THEY ONLY HAVE LITTLE, OR NONE AT ALL.

 AT MANY TIMES, THEY ARE DENIED HELP.

 AT MANY TIMES THEY ARE PRONE TO EXPLOITATION.

 THEY DO WHAT THEY CAN TO SURVIVE, WITH THE LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES THAT SOCIETY OFFERS THEM.

 AS THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD WHO ONLY TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES, THERE ARE A GREAT NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO CANNOT EVEN TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN NEEDS.

 THERE ARE LIMITED OPTIONS IN LIFE FOR THOSE WHO ARE POOR.

 THE POOR ENDURE MUCH DEPRIVATION, FOR THERE ARE SYSTEMS THAT OPPRESSES THEM IN THIS WORLD.

 IT IS A HARSH REALITY THAT THIS WORLD IS ADVERSE TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

 DURING THE MISSION WORKS, I SEE CHILDREN TRYING TO SURVIVE BY PICKING UP PLASTICS AND SELLING THEM, JUST TO HAVE FOOD FOR THE DAY.

 I HAVE WITNESSED DURING MISSION WORKS THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE STREET THEIR HOMES.

 A NUMBER OF THEM WILL FIND THEIR PLACE ALONG RIVERS, UNDER BRIDGES, GRASS AREAS, ETC.

 THERE ARE TIMES THAT THEIR CHILDREN BECAME SICK, AND UNABLE TO GO TO ANY HEALTH FACILITY DUE TO THEIR POOR CONDITION.

 THERE ARE TIMES IN THE PAST YEARS THAT POOR FAMILIES PRESENT DEATH CERTIFICATES OF THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS.

WHY? BECAUSE THEY DIED OF ILLNESS.

THOSE WERE TIMES THAT NO HELP WAS AVAILABLE FOR THEM.

 WHEN WE ARE UNABLE TO DO MISSION WORKS, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF POOR PEOPLE THAT STARVE.

 GIVING FOOD FOR THE POOR AND THE NEEDY,

 I REMEMBER IN THE PAST YEARS, BEFORE WE ARE DOING REGULAR MISSION WORKS TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY--- THAT I AM SEEING WITH MY VERY EYES THE POOR CHILDREN SEARCHING ON PILES OF GARBAGE FOR FOOD AND ANYTHING TO DRINK.

 WHEN WE DO OUR MISSION WORKS REGULARLY, I DO NOT SEE THEM EATING FROM GARBAGE, NOR DRINKING FROM THROWN OUT BOTTLES.

 THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WILL TELL US THAT THESE POOR PEOPLE ARE LAZY, THAT THEY CANNOT PROVIDE FOR THEIR SURVIVAL.

 THE TRUTH: EVEN THOSE WHO HAVE GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE CANNOT FIND JOBS IN THE COUNTRY.

WITHOUT EMPLOYMENT, HOW CAN ONE PROVIDE FOR THE NEEDS OF THEIR FAMILIES?

 WHAT I SEE IS THIS: I SEE A NUMBER OF COLLEGE GRADUATE PEOPLE GOING TO THE STREETS, A NUMBER OF THEM PICKING PLASTIC BOTTLES TO SELL.

 I HAVE WITNESSED COLLEGE GRADUATE PEOPLE SELLING CANDIES AND CIGARETTES ON THE STREETS BEFORE JUST TO SURVIVE.

 AND I HAVE WITNESSED PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED IN DECENT JOBS BEFORE, WHEN THEY GROW OLD, THEY BEG ON THE STREETS.

 WHAT KIND OF WORLD ARE WE LIVING? I HAVE WITNESSED SO MUCH SUFFERINGS AND SORROW THAT MADE ME ARRIVE TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THIS WORLD IS AN EVIL PLACE TO LIVE IN.

AFTER FOOD DISTRIBUTION, GAVE HELP TO THE POOR.

 ALL HUMAN BEINGS NEED FOOD, WATER, CLOTHING AND SHELTER.

 I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE BEING DEPRIVED OF FOOD, WATER, CLOTHING AND SHELTER BECAUSE THEY ARE POOR.

 I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE TAKING SHELTER IN UNIMAGINABLE PLACES JUST TO SURVIVE.

 I HAVE WITNESSED HOW THE POOR BECAME DESPERATE IN HUNGER AND THIRST.

 WE CAN ONLY DO THIS MUCH, AS WE CAN, EVERYDAY.

 SERVING THE POOR AND THE NEEDY, AND HELPING THEM TO AT LEAST ADDRESS SOME OF THEIR NEEDS IS SERVICE TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS.

 GOD CREATED THIS WORLD, AND ALL ITS RESOURCES FOR FREE.

OTHER HUMAN BEINGS PLACED TAG PRICES ON THE CREATION OF GOD, DEPRIVING THE POOR AND THE NEEDY THE ACCESS FOR SURVIVAL.

 THE WORLD OF THE POOR AND THE NEEDED IS LIMITED AND THEIR OPTIONS ARE VERY LIMITED.

 THEY DO WHAT THEY CAN TO SURVIVE.

 THESE MISSION WORKS WE OFFER TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS, THE CREATOR OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS.

 GOD CREATED THE POOR AND THE NEEDY AS HUMAN BEINGS.

 PEOPLE IN THEIR GREED, HAVE TAKEN AWAY HUGE PORTIONS OF RESOURCES THAT ARE NEEDED FOR OTHERS TO SURVIVE.

 DUE TO THIS, MANY BECAME POOR AND NEEDY, AND DEPRIVED.

 WITH THIS KIND OF EVIL EXISTING IN THIS WORLD, IT IS NO WONDER WHY MANY SUFFER.

OFFERING TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS, OUR MISSION WORKS.

WE HAVE TRIED TO DO WHAT WE CAN THIS DAY TO HELP AS MUCH AS WE CAN WITH WHAT IS AVAILABLE.

WE HAVE REMAINING FUNDS OF P500, WHICH WE WILL OFFER TO OUR GOD THROUGH OUR MISSION WORKS.

THOUGH WE CANNOT SOLVE POVERTY, WE CAN HELP THE POOR AND THE NEEDY TO SURVIVE AND HAVE A CHANCE IN THE FUTURE TO BE SELF- SUFFICIENT.

I HAVE WITNESSED THAT THE POOR AND THE NEEDY CANNOT SUSTAIN THEMSELVES ADEQUATELY BECAUSE THE SITUATIONS IN THIS WORLD ARE ADVERSE, THAT EVEN WITH A COLLEGE DEGREE IS NOT A GUARANTEE FOR YOU TO SURVIVE WITH ADEQUATE PROVISIONS IN THIS WORLD.

TO HAVE AN EMPLOYMENT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE EDUCATION, MONEY TO PAY FOR YOUR PHYSICAL CHECK-UP, PAPERS AND REQUIREMENTS TO APPLY FOR YOUR JOB.

IF YOU ARE POOR, YOU CANNOT AFFORD THIS, BECAUSE EVEN YOUR DAILY FOOD AND WATER IS PROBLEMATIC ENOUGH ALREADY.

AFTER BEING EMPLOYED FOR 6 MONTH, MAJORITY WILL HAVE TO UNDERGO THE SAME PROCESS AGAIN TO APPLY FOR ANOTHER JOB.

YEARS WILL PASS THAT THESE PEOPLE WILL GROW OLD, AND NOT HAVING ENOUGH MONEY FOR RETIREMENT.

UNSECURED, THEY SUCCUMB TO THE EVILS OF LIFE.

WHAT MORE THE POOR AND THE NEEDY?

THIS IS SOMETHING WORTHWHILE TO THINK ABOUT.

TIMES WILL BECOME HARDER AND HARDER TO THE NEXT GENERATION.

RESOURCES WILL BE MORE SCARCE, AND POPULATION CONTINUES TO INCREASE.

A GREAT MAJORITY OF THE WEALTH OF THE WORLD IS IN THE HANDS OF THE FEW, WHO WILL NOT HELP WITHOUT GETTING WHAT THEY WANT IN RETURN.

THUS, THE CYCLE OF DEPRIVATION CONTINUES.

POVERTY CONTINUES.

THE WORLD HAS ENOUGH RESOURCES TO FEED ITS PEOPLE, AND ADDRESS THE BASIC NEEDS OF ITS INHABITANTS.

THE REASON WHY THERE IS POVERTY IS THE WIDE MARGIN OF DISPARITY BETWEEN THOSE WHO ARE RICH, AND THOSE WHO ARE POOR.

MANY HAVE TRIED TO BRIDGE THE GAP BUT FAILED.

AS LONG AS THERE IS GREED IN THE HEARTS OF HUMAN BEINGS, MANY WILL SUFFER IN POVERTY, AND MANY WILL DIE IN POVERTY.

IF WE ARE TRULY BELIEVERS IN GOD, IT IS OUR OBLIGATION TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED IN ACCORDANCE TO OUR ABILITIES.

WE DO NOT LIVE FOR OURSELVES ALONE.

OUR LIVES ARE INTERCONNECTED, WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT.

OUR LIVES ARE SHORT, AND WE WILL ALL DIE SOONER OR LATER.

WE CANNOT BRING ALL OF OUR EARTHLY POSSESSIONS WHEN WE DIE.

AS WE DIE, WE LEAVE TO THIS WORLD WHAT WE CALL OUR OWN.

WHAT WORTHY LIFE IT IS TO PREPARE FOR DEATH WHILE WE STILL LIVE.

MAY WE LIVE FOR A WORTHY PURPOSE.

THE MOST NOBLE AND BEST AMONG THE REASONS OF LIVING IS TO LIVE AND DIE FOR THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS, AND TO LIVE LIFE ACCORDING TO HIS DIVINE PURPOSE.

LOVE SHOULD NEVER BE A NOUN BUT A VERB.

COMPASSION AND MERCY SHOULD BE VERBS, AND NEVER JUST NOUNS.

VERB IS AN ACTION WORD.

IF LOVE, COMPASSION, AND MERCY ARE VERBS, THEN LOVE, COMPASSION AND MERCY SHOULD HAVE ITS CONCRETE MANIFESTATIONS IN ACTIONS, AND NOT JUST WORDS.

LIP SERVICE TO LOVE, COMPASSION AND MERCY ARE MEANINGLESS AND WORTHLESS.

ONE CAN ONLY TRULY LOVE, BE COMPASSIONATE, AND MERCIFUL THROUGH CONCRETE ACTIONS.

WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS.

IT IS A TEACHING IN A NUMBER OF RELIGIONS THAT WE ARE CREATED IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD.

IF WE LOVE GOD, IT FOLLOWS THAT WE SHOULD BE COMPASSIONATE AND MERCIFUL, EVEN TO THE LEAST OF OUR BRETHREN.

IF WE TRULY BELIEVE WE ARE CREATED INTO THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD, THEN HOW HORRIBLE IT IS THAT THE VERY IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD IS MALTREATED EVERYDAY BY OTHERS IN THIS WORLD.

HOW SINFUL IT IS TO DO SO.

THEN WE ASK WHY THE CALAMITIES AND DISASTERS AND WARS HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD?

THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE: GOD IS ANGRY, BECAUSE HUMAN BEINGS TREAT THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD UNFAIRLY EACH AND EVERYDAY.

EVERYDAY, PEOPLE DO EVIL TO OTHERS.

GOD IS ANGRY OF THESE ACTIVITIES.

AS LONG AS WE MALTREAT OTHER PEOPLE IN OUR DAILY LIVES, THE ANGER OF GOD CONTINUES TO BE UNLEASHED IN THIS WORLD.

IF WE BELIEVE IN GOD, LET US BELIEVE IN LOVE, COMPASSION AND MERCY.

IN BELIEVING LOVE, COMPASSION, AND MERCY, MAY WE BE LOVING, COMPASSIONATE, AND MERCIFUL TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER.

LOVE, COMPASSION AND MERCY HEALS.

MAY IT NOT BE TOO LATE TO CHANGE FOR THE BEST.

TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS, WE OFFER ALL OUR MISSION WORKS.

TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS, BE THE HONOR AND GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.
