Earthquake, War and Famines.

We should not be afraid of what the occurrence right now, instead, we must be happy and prepared because our salvation is coming near, earthquake, war, and famines was written and it should be happen to warn us, that the salvation for a true believer is coming. It was told already by our Lord Jesus before He goes up to Heaven. 

 

That, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains". (Matthew 24:6-8) 

 

“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” (Luke 21: 25, 35, 28) 

 

There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near. (Luke 21:11, 31) 

 

Don‘t be left behind...God give us a choice, Life and Death.

 "I am now giving you the choice between Life and Death, between God‘s blessings and God‘s curse and I call heaven and earth, to witness the choice you make, choose Life."  Det.30:19TEV

I want to share the Song that Make me cry.

“Ako’y Maghihintay sa Iyong Pagliligtas”
( I will wait for your Salvation)

Kahit ano’ng pait ang Paghihirap ko, ang Pag-asa ko’y laging nasa Iyo

Pagsubok man ay dumating, sa tulong mo ay handa kong harapin.

Mga kabiguan man ay danasin ko, ang tiwala ko’y laan lamang sa Iyo.

Ang puso ma’y mamighati, ako’y manananatili na sa Iyo parin.

Pumatak ang luha ko sa hapis kong nadarama, ngunit ang aking katapata’y hindi magbabago, ako’ sa Iyo ang buhay ko’y handog na sa Iyo, Ama.

Kaya ako’y Maghihintay sa Iyong Pagliligtas,

Ang Iyong Pag-ibig ay dama sa aking buhay kaya Ikaw ay Paglilingkuran hanggang wakas.

Papanaw nga ang buhay kong ito na umaasa sa iyong pangako na ang putong ng buhay ay aking kakamtan pagsapit doon sa Bayang Banal.

Kaya ako’y maghihintay (kaya ako’y maghihintay) sa Iyong pagliligtas (sa Iyong pagliligtas)

Ang Iyong Pag-ibig ay dama sa aking buhay kaya Ikaw ay Paglilingkuran hanggang wakas.

A Christian Family.

Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savoir. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— for we are members of his body. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.

However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”

Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.

And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.

God knows that in the future pride will dominate the heart of the people, so, He instruct apostle Paul to wrote this words not only for the people in his time but also for the people of our time, it keeps reminding us, the true christian family values, we should follow what apostle Paul wrote, actually, this is a command from the word of God, if we want to live peacefully as a Good family in His presence.

Bible: Double Minded

But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do (James 1:6-8 NIV) 

 

 

The Words told us to be sincere in what we ask for, to be able to receive our plea, but if we are double minded like a wave in the sea, the Word said, we can not receive anything,  we should believe without doubt to what God can do. there is no impossible with Him, if we really ask with a humble heart.

Bible: Lying of Ananias and Sapphira

Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet. 

 

Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.” When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 

 

Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him. 

 

About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?” “Yes,” she said, “that is the price.” Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.” At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. 

 

Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 

 

Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events. (New International Version 2011 Acts 5:1-11)

 

This verse has set us, as an example that lying is a sin, even its a white lie according to the other, but its still a sin. We will not die immediately but what about the trust of others it will die if they know you lied to them.

Bible: Don't Judge if you don't want to be Judge too

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

 

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. (Matthew 7:1-5 NIV)

Avoid Favoritism

My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in. If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

 
Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? Are they not the ones who are blaspheming the noble name of him to whom you belong?

 
If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,” also said, “You shall not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.

 
Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment. (James 2:1-13 NIV)
