TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN
PRAYER, WORSHIP, THANKS, AND PRAISE TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS.
PSALM 150:1-2
ALLELUIA!
PRAISE GOD IN HIS TEMPLE ON EARTH,
PRAISE HIM IN HIS TEMPLE IN HEAVEN,
PRAISE HIM FOR HIS MIGHTY ACHIEVEMENTS,
PRAISE HIM FOR HIS TRANSCENDENT GREATNESS!
MORNING: PRAYERS AND PRAISE TO THE GOD OF GOD, LORD OF LORDS UPON WAKING UP. WENT ONLINE TO CHECK EMAILS, AND TO DO NECESSARY ENTRIES ONLINE AS PROMPTED BY THE SPIRIT.
MEMBERS OF THE INDIGENT FAMILIES CAME TODAY. GAVE PROVISIONS FOR THEM AND THEIR CHILDREN.
ONE OF THE INDIGENT FAMILY HEADS ACCIDENTALLY HAD HIS PHONE SUBMERGED IN A URINAL. THIS WAS DONE BY HIS CHILD ACCIDENTALLY. THE SHOP TOLD HIM THAT THE PHONE WILL REPEATEDLY GET DAMAGED AND WILL NOT FUNCTION NORMALLY AS BEFORE EVEN AFTER REPAIRS.
THIS MORNING, GAVE CELLPHONE TO HIM AS A MEANS OF COMMUNICATION ESPECIALLY IN EMERGENCY CASES WHEN THERE IS A NEED TO CONTACT US.
AFTER BREAKFAST, AND ATTENDING TO PERSONAL MATTERS, WENT TO 7 11.
THE PICTURE TICKETS I HAVE WERE EXCHANGED WITH THIS ITEMS.
THE PONDS HERE WAS GIVEN TO SOMEONE. DRANK THIS I-ON ENERGY DRINK FOR THE FIRST TIME.
WENT TO BACLARAN AREA.
WENT TO OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP SHRINE.
LIGHTED A CANDLE FOR PRAYERS.
OUR FIRST ELDER HAD A TALK WITH ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF D.E.U.S. (G.O.D.) OVER THE PHONE WHILE I AM CONDUCTING A SIMPLE RITUAL PRAYER HERE.
WENT TO THE OTHER PARTS OF THE SHRINE.
DID OUTREACH TO THE ELDERLY, THE POOR AND THE NEEDY ON THE SHRINE GROUNDS.
AFTER THIS, WENT TO OTHER PLACES IN BACLARAN TO BUY ITEMS FOR GIFTS TO BE GIVEN THIS CHRISTMAS. OUR FIRST ELDER IS PACKING UP GIFTS FOR THE POOR CHILDREN TO BE DISTRIBUTED THIS SEASON.
WENT AT A NEARBY CHOWKING OUTLET FOR LUNCH.
OUR ELDER ALSO BOUGHT OTHER ITEMS FOR THIS SEASON.
LATER, WE GOT SEPARATED AMONGST THE CROWD. I WENT TO PASAY AREA TO THE NEAREST 7 11 OF THAT AREA- ON BOARD A PEDICAB.
BOUGHT ITEMS FOR OUTREACH.
DISTRIBUTED FOOD AMONG THE POOR OF THAT AREA.
BOARDED A TAXI ON THIS AREA.
THERE IS TRAFFIC GOING OUT OF THIS PLACE.
SAW A POOR MAN ON THE STREETS.
WENT OUT OF THE TAXI TO GIVE HIM SOMETHING.
DUE TO THE TRAFFIC THIS DAY, WENT ON AN ALTERNATE ROUTE.
CONVERSED WITH THE TAXI DRIVER I AM WITH. HIS FAMILY IS FROM CAVITE, BUT HE WAS BORN IN TONDO. HE HAS A WIFE FROM SAMAR.
LESSONS MENTIONED DURING OUR CONVERSATION INCLUDES:
- BEING FAIR AND JUST WITH EVERYONE
- JUSTICE IF NOT OBTAINED ON EARTH WILL BE OBTAINED IN THE AFTERLIFE.
- GOD KNOWS WHAT IS IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS; THERE IS NO ESCAPE WITH GOD'S JUSTICE.
- IT IS BETTER TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE. IF ONE IS IMPLEMENTING CERTAIN LAWS, IT IS BETTER THAT THE IMPLEMENTER OF SUCH LAWS ALSO FOLLOW THE SAME LAWS.
- SIMPLE THINGS MATTER
- BEING A PARENT DOES NOT ONLY MEAN THAT YOU ARE THE GENETIC PARENTS OF A CHILD.
BEING A PARENT MEANS TAKING CARE OF YOUR CHILD OVER TIME, DURING HIS/HER LIFE, AND GIVING YOUR LOVE TO YOUR CHILD.
MEDITATION:
GOD, AS FATHER TO CHRISTIANS, MEANS THAT GOD ADOPTED US AS SONS/ DAUGHTERS. GOD TAKES CARE OF US DURING OUR LIFE, AND EVEN UNTIL THE NEXT LIFE, IF WE REMAIN WITH HIM AND FOLLOW HIS WILL.
JUST AS A SON/DAUGHTER FOLLOWS AND RESPECTS THE WILL OF THEIR FATHER, SO ARE THE FOLLOWERS OF GOD FOLLOW THE WILL OF GOD.
IT IS THROUGH LIVING GOD'S WILL THAT WE WILL REALLY KNOW IF WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD- WHOM OUR FATHER IS, WE FOLLOW.
IF ONE DOES EVIL THINGS IN LIFE, AND CONTINUE TO DO SO EVERYDAY- THIS IS A SIGN THAT PERSON IS NOT A CHILD OF GOD, BUT OF THE DEVIL.
THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL DO EVIL AND WICKEDNESS EVERYDAY.
THESE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL SCHEME EVERYDAY TO GET OVER OTHERS, TO BOAST EVERYDAY, CONCOCTING LIES AND FRAUD, DOING EVERY SORT OF EVIL WITHOUT REMORSE.
MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUCCUMBED TO POWER LOST THEIR REASON, AND MANY HAVE LOST THEIR HEARTS AND SOUL TO THE DEVIL.
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEVERE LOVE FOR MONEY, POWER, FAME, FORTUNE, AND PLEASURES THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO SACRIFICE EVERYTHING JUST TO GET MORE.
GREED IS AT THE CENTER OF THEIR BEING, WHICH GRADUALLY EATS THEM UP, LEAVING NOTHING GOOD IN THEM WHEN THE TIME COMES- LOSING THEIR SOULS TO THE WORLD- AND ENDING UP IN THE DEVIL'S HANDS AS MERE PAWNS AND PLAYTHINGS TO BREED MORE EVIL TO THIS WORLD.
TO SUCH PEOPLE, ETERNAL FIRE AND SUFFERING COMES AFTER A LIFE OF PLEASURE, LEISURE, AND ENJOYING THE SWEETNESS OF LIFE.
THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE END TO THOSE WHO LIVED THEIR LIFE IN EVIL AND WICKEDNESS.
TO THOSE WHO FOLLOW GOD, EVEN TO THE POINT OF SUFFERING, PERSISTENTLY TILL THE END OF ONE'S LIFE- THESE PEOPLE IN THE END WILL INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
THESE PEOPLE ARE GIVEN BY GOD THE PEACE THAT THE WORLD CANNOT GIVE.
GOD IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF THIS PEACE- FOR THE DIVINE PRESENCE ACCORD LOVE AND MERCY TO THOSE WHO DO THE SAME.
CONTINUING ON TODAY'S EVENTS:
WENT HOME. MADE SOME MALA BEADS OUT OF THE MATERIALS OBTAINED TODAY.
SOMETIME THIS AFTERNOON, THE SPIRIT PROMPTED ME TO CONTINUE OUTREACH OUTSIDE.
WENT OUTSIDE OUR VICINITY ABOARD A TRICYCLE.
GAVE FOOD TO THE CHILDREN I MEET ASIDE FROM THE ALMS GIVEN THEM.
WENT TO THE NEARBY MALL.
DID SILENT PRAYER AND RITUAL AT THIS SPOT FOR THE PURPOSE OF BENEFICENCE TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS AREA.
CONTINUED DISTRIBUTING FOOD AMONG THE STREET CHILDREN.
WENT ACROSS THE STREET AT THE NEARBY 7 11 STORE. BOUGHT ADDITIONAL FOOD PROVISIONS AND DISTRIBUTED FOOD AMONG THE STREET CHILDREN.
ALMS ALSO GIVEN TO THEM.
BOUGHT ADDITIONAL FOOD FOR THEM AND CONTINUED THE DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD FOR THEM.
AFTER THE OUTREACH TO THE STREET CHILDREN, DID SOME OUTREACH TO THE OTHER POOR IN THE VICINITY.
WENT HOME.
AT HOME, THERE ARE CHILDREN BELONGING TO POOR FAMILIES WHO SANG THEIR CAROLS TO US.
THEY COME ONE AFTER ANOTHER, WITH ONLY A FEW MINUTES IN BETWEEN.
THE ANG-PAO ENVELOPES I HAVE PREPARED PREVIOUSLY WERE GIVEN TO THEM BY GROUP AS THEY CAME.
AFTER THIS, ATE DINNER, DID SOME SPIRITUAL STUDY, AND PRAYER, THEN SLEPT.
WOKE UP AROUND 11PM AND MET WITH THE FIRST ELDER.
DISCUSSED IMPORTANT MATTERS AT HAND.
OUR FIRST ELDER WILL BE ON MISSION TOMORROW FOR THANKSGIVING.
DONATION TO SEVERAL CONGREGATIONS/CHURCHES LOCATED AT VARIOUS POINTS IN THE COUNTRY WILL BE DONE, FOR ANSWERED PRAYERS.
IT IS AROUND 2:50AM NOW AS I CONCLUDE THE ENTRY OF THIS BLOG FOR THIS DAY.
THANKING THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS, FOR EVERYTHING.
I THANK THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUPPORTED US IN OUR MISSIONARY WORKS.
GOD KNOWS WHO YOU ARE.
MAY BLESSINGS BE UPON THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HELPING US HELP OTHERS.
PRAISE, WORSHIP AND THANKS TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN
