Driven By Love

A slave is different to a son. Slave thinks differently, speaks differently, and acts differently. A slave is a slave to his thinking. His action is limited to his position. A slave is living in fear and complacency. He thinks he already reached his limit. A slave is always a slave, unless he will renew his mind. While a son is always a son. No matter what. Israelites are being slave for many many years, but God rescued and bless them. He revealed to them their destination, the land full of milk and honey. A good father will not think bad for his children. Psalms 103:5 (NLT) He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle's! David a man after God's own heart mentioned it. Speaking words of praise to God and declaring who is God to his life. God will also fill his children with good things. As a son, life is too short to dwell on negative things that pull us down. David said this verse that bad things has no room in our life. It is the plan o...

"Japan" When will I see you again? Sometime in 2014, God allowed me to visit Japan. Clean and organized country. In Tokyo where I stayed everything is cemented and maximized every area. I observed the silence of the night in residential areas, I think everyone took the chance to rest after a long day of work, a good discipline and example to follow. Bending machines are along the streets, offering bottled water and some drinks. I was amazed of their engineering structure and technology, advanced one, compared to us. I experienced to ride the bullet train where we passed by the center of mountains, amazing!. During the trip I saw the popular Mount Fuji of Japan, and some beautiful views. Going there must have a tour guide. Train is the main transportation of Japan. Its very hard and miserable for first timers to travel there especially when you get lost, aside from many many trains underground, most people there, don't know how to speak english. It's better for...

No one is excuse from experiencing problems. It is part of life's package. Whether in family, relationships, business, work, studies and ministries.  Before I reached this position right now. I've  passed through many tests in life. Overcome difficulties. Completed all the trainings. Endured the hardships. Accepted the pain. Embraced loneliness. Got out from my comfort zone. Way back 2008, from September to December I processed my application. We are required to be present everyday. A waste of time and money, but I had still follow. I used to woke up early, not to get late, travelled more than an hour everyday going to the camp, and another more than an hour, going back to the house of my sister, where I stayed during my application. And it came to pass, we were delivered to the training camp. Woke up early everyday, doing exercise and reshaping my mentality. I've got to celebrate Christmas even if i was away from my family. Not allowed to use cellphone an...

 Do you feel alone and lonely? Are you hopeless? Do you enjoy the state of complacency? Do you feel you're not growing in faith and attitude? Do you feel there something holding you not to reach your dreams? Hold on, I have a good news for you. Israelite's became slaves in Egypt, but because of the love of the Father, He chose these people and freed them from slavery by using Moses. God rescued them. God performed miracles, and let them crossed the red sea. But behind of that, their thoughts are afraid to be chase and catch-up again by Pharaoh. Their hearts are still captive by fear in spite of miracles they experienced. Just like a runaway slave without peace, joy, and contentment, but it is not the wonderful plan of God. He offered us a total freedom. He wants us to rule over our fear. Total freedom is in Christ. He overcomes slavery. All kinds of suffering, poverty, rejection, persecution, mockery, carried the cross, nailed, hanged, and even death. He said ...

A man-made island where the largest international airport situated. Viewing from the top inside a cable car. Lantau Island, Hongkong. Together with my family. I asked someone, a foreigner tourist to take us picture along the 200 steps going to Giant Buddha.  At the entrance of Disneyland. It was my wife's third time to visit here and it's my first. Amazing!. At our back is the Disneyland Castle. Meet and Greet Princess Belle. About 8 pm people gathered beside the street to watch "Disney in the Stars". About to ride the cable car at Ngong Ping. Incoming and Outgoing cable cars.   I'd seen this painting along the street of Ngong Ping. Jackie Chan And Bruce Lee. Touch me not I have a bodyguard at the back.   Nice view at bay walk formerly Avenue of the Stars. At last meeting legendary Bruce Lee at the Garden of Stars.

Human as we are it is very hard to forgive and love your enemies. For 32 years of existence I've encountered different kinds of people. Different perception, different attitude, and different goals in life. There are some instance in life when you are good to them but in return they act otherwise, gossips, and making things that can pull you down. Well that's the reality of life. One day, I tried to listen to this preacher in you tube. I was encouraged to have a positive attitude and it changed the way i think. "You don't have to change their mind, you don't have to prove that they are wrong. God is our defender. God is our vindicator. God will fight and win the battle. God will prepare a table in the presence of your enemies." - Joel Osteen What a strong message from the word of God it supports to what our Lord Jesus Christ said, love your neighbor as yourself and also love your enemies. Luke 6:27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemi...

The first book of the Scripture states; In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. He made the night and day. He formed every living things. From his image and likeness he created us. He provided well their needs. From zero he made everything. He loves all of them. Matthew 5:45 He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. He knows everything in us. Luke 12:7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. He always think good for us. He is a good father. He doesn't plan to harm his people. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. He chose us before we chose him. Inspite of being rebellious of his people. He initiates to restore the broken relationship. He saved us not only to go to heaven but to be part of his royal family. ...

                               After we knew our Heavenly Father, How do we behave as a child of God? Early believers declares that God supplied their needs. The Scripture told us, He is the same yesterday, today and forever. So don't be worry, be happy, God is our Provider. He is our Jehovah Jireh. See the birds on the air? We are so much valuable than all the creation of God. God gave us strength and opportunities to live. Psalm 37:25 I was young and now I am old,�    yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken?  or their children begging bread. You must think as a child of the most high God. You were born in the royal family. Do not look yourselves as a slave. We are not average, we are not mediocre. God gave us enough strength to overcome obstacles in life. God gave us enough time to enhance our skills, talents and gifts. Let us offer our best of worship to Him. 2 Corinthians ...

Some people categorized good deeds as "little things" and "big things". To clarify these things, I will give some practical examples. Going to church on time, not doing gossips, not judging other people etc.. were considered by some people as "little things". Perhaps they are complacent with these. Now, by not doing murder, idolatry, adultery, concubinage etc., were considered by some as "big things". Believers are ought to live in worship, an act that is pleasing to God. "Little things" and "Big things" should go together. During my lifetime i cannot read in the Scripture that you should only do "big things". To be a blessing, "good deeds" should manifest in the lives of believers either little things or big things. The Scripture says, whether you eat or drink, do it for the glory of God. It implies whatever we do, it should be pleasing to our Father in heaven. Whatever profession you may have, d...

Does God save us to be his slaves? The Scripture says if we believe to his Son Jesus, he gave us the right to be his children. For the past years I see myself as a slave rather than a child of God. In my past, I lived in fear, insecure, and unprotected. I did not know where I am headed for. It seems my life has no direction. During the stage of infancy, I am always thinking what must I do in order to please God, to earn his love, to bless and protect me. As a result, I am struggling. I am always counting what I did to Him, not knowing I tend to compare myself to others, I boasted and thinking I am better than others. I became self-righteous and acting like a judge. It is a havoc to my life. I thank God he rescued me from that way of thinking. His word tells me I am His Child. I am the son of the most high God. As his son he always loves me. I will never be alone, he is my bestfriend. Knowing this, I am now more secured, protected, peaceful and happy. My Father in heaven ...

I am writing this letter as your brother in Christ, Positive attitude can help overcome obstacles in life.  Learning the fact that God choose us and did his best for us, and believing his son Jesus Christ, you are now a child of God. As a child, God has line up everything what you need. All you need to do is to claim and work for it. Do your best and God will do the rest. Learn to wait. God will work when you're at rest. Life is very tough. Full of problems, temptations, and difficulties. Do not allow discouragement, failures and negative things hinder you from reaching your dreams. Either in business, work, studies, relationship, and church ministry. Focus in your destiny, do not waste your energy on your past mistakes. Cheer up! God always loved you. Pursue Excellence. Our enemy wants us to be a loser. He wants you not to succeed and to enjoy the state of complacency and mediocrity. God's plan for us is abundance. Let us fight for it. Pursue excellence! Have f...

We can find the ten commandments of God in the Old Testament of the Bible. In the New Testament our Lord Jesus Christ sum it up into two; the first and greatest commandment is to love God in excellence and the second is to love others as yourself. The Old Testament testifies that God is doing something for man to have a good relationship with him. He imposed ten commandments for the Israelites to follow but it doesn't work out, the people became rebellious. No one perfected the law. In the New Testament God sent his only begotten Son to reconcile the broken relationship between man and God. Jesus died, and died once and for all. He  said "it is finished". According to the Scripture if we believe and accept Jesus Christ we become the children of God. We can see here the Father and son relationship. No one can separate us from the love of God.The relationship between man and God was reconciled. There was a total hope and security in Jesus Christ, the radiance of God...

I just want to declare how God is gracious to my family. For the past week we celebrated the birthday of my daughter outside the country. I thanked God for the provision He gave, for the fare and for the food we ate.  It was my first time on that place, and indeed it was nice and fascinating. As we arrived at the largest international airport i was amazed because we need to ride a train inside the airport on the way to the immigration and get our luggage. It is conducive, clean, carpeted and organized. A unique and extraordinary airport compared to Japan, China and Philippines. God let us stayed on a guest house in which a caretaker is also a filipino. She is approachable and good person. What makes it comfortable was that we are allowed to cook rice and boiled eggs. It is a place like home. On the next day, when we woke up and the weather was not good to go and roam around outside, it was raining heavily with thunderstorm. We are scheduled that day to go to Disneyland. My w...
