Christmas gift of CHRIST
Christmas is celebrated not because of Christmas itself but it's because of CHRIST.
Sa nalalapit na Pasko, pag-usapan naman natin ang mga regalong ibinigay ng Panginoon.
1. Jesus Christ ( the salvation )
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
God sent His one and only son which is Jesus to saved EVERYONE, yes indeed everyone.
Sabi po ng verse "for God so loved the WORLD" so ibig sabihin hindi lang pala tayong mga mananampalataya ang niligtas Niya bagkus ang buong mundo pala, kasama ang mga taong hindi pa nakakakilala Sakan'ya.
In other words, God saved the WORLD once and for all!
So today, sa nalalapit na Christmas God wants us to share this news to everyone including your family and friends and say that Jesus Christ saved them which is the gift of salvation, they just need to accept it.
God loves you and you are saved!🤗
Sinabi ni Sarai kay Abram, “Dahil hindi pinahintulutan ng Panginoon na magkaanak ako, mabuti pa sigurong sumiping ka sa alipin kong babae, baka sakaling magkaroon tayo ng anak sa pamamagitan niya.” Pumayag si Abram sa sinabi ng kanyang asawa.
Genesis 16:2 ASND
May pinangako ang Diyos kay Abraham at Sarah na magbubuntis si Sarah kahit na mukhang imposible sa lagay niya dahil siya ay matanda na. Ngunit dahil nainip sila sa paghihintay sa pangakong ito, ginawa nalang nila ang sarili nilang pamamaraan para sila'y magkaanak. Hinayaan ni Sarah si Abraham na sumiping kay Hagar (aliping babae) para magkaanak sila. At nagbuntis si Hagar at pinangalanang Ishmael. To summarize this all, si Ishmael ay bunga ng pagkainip at maling desisyon nina Abraham at Sarah.
Siguro, naging tulad na rin tayo ni Abraham at Sarah na ginagawa nalang ang ating sariling pamamaraan imbis na magtiwala sa pangako Niya para makamtan ang bagay na gusto natin nang madalian dahil madalas, ayaw na natin ang maghintay.
Pero gayon pa man, nararapat tayong maghintay sa "go" sign ng ating Panginoon at sa Kaniyang perfect timing sa bawat bagay dahil siguradong ito'y magiging tama at makakapagbigay glory sa Kaniya.
Let's wait for the Lord dahil ibibigay naman Niya ang Kaniyang ipinangako kahit gaano ito katagal. Tulad ng ipinangako Niya sa mag asawang ito, nagkaroon sila ng Isaac kahit imposible sa kanilang mga edad.
Maghintay tayo sa ating Isaac (katuparan ng Kaniyang pangako) dahil kapag galing sa Diyos, hindi lang siya magiging blessings sa buhay natin kundi blessings rin siya sa iba.
Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Santiago 4:3
At humingi man kayo, wala rin kayong natatanggap dahil hindi tama ang inyong layunin. Humihingi kayo upang mapagbigyan ang inyong kalayawan.
Minsan ang hirap maghintay tapos bandang huli, "no" din pala ang sagot ng Panginoon, pero bakit nga ba tayo nasasaktan? Kase nag lo-look forward tayo sa sagot ng Panginoon na "yes" pero as a Christian who are against all odds, matuto tayong malaman na ang mga "wait" and "no" ay sagot din galing sa Panginoon.
Dahil hindi lahat ay makakabuti sa'yo, dahil bakit nga ba may taga-allow pa tayo at may plan maker pa tayo? Dahil God wants the best for you, He will not let you get hurt.
Pero siguro confused ka na bakit merong bagay na nangyari sa'yo na ikinapahamak mo ano? That's because we sometimes lead the way in our own without asking God, in other words, Siya ay pinapangunahan mo at ginagawa mo ang gusto mo.
Kaya kung may mga bagay na hinihintay ka pa, learn these things:
YES- PROCEED because you are safe, for God is leading the way.
WAIT- BE PATIENT, wait for His will. Malay mo hindi 'yan makabubuti sa'yo? O kaya malay mo opportunity na pala 'yan?
NO- STOP, that is not controlled by God, for only you and your desires controlling it.
Huwag kayong padaya, mga kapatid kong minamahal. Ang lahat ng mabuti at ganap na kaloob ay buhat sa Diyos, mula sa Ama na lumikha ng mga tanglaw sa kalangitan. Hindi siya nagbabago, o nagpapakita ng bahagya mang pagbabago. Niloob niyang tayo'y maging anak niya sa pamamagitan ng salita ng katotohanan, upang tayo'y maging pangunahin higit kaysa lahat ng kanyang mga nilalang.
Santiago 1:16-18 RTPV05
Alam naman natin na ang lahat ng meron tayo ay kaloob ng Panginoon. Lahat ng mga pangako Niya ay hindi nagbabago. Ang mga bagay na ating hinihiling ay ipinagkakaloob nya as long as iyon ay para sa ating ikabubuti. Kaya nararapat lamang na tayo ay magpasalamat sa Kanya.
Kung tayo ay patuloy na magpuouri at magpapasalamat kay Lord, marerealize natin na ang dami pala ng mga bagay na meron tayo na hindi natin hiniling sa Kanya. Yung maliliit na bagay na dati ay iniignore natin dati, maapreciate natin kapag kapag lagi tayong nagpupuri sa Kanya.
Nararapat lamang na tayo ay magpuri at magpasalamat sa Kanya, sa mga bagay na meron tayo, sa mga nararanasan natin, malungkot man o masaya, masakit man o mahirap. Ipagpasalamat pa rin natin dahil sa mga pagkakataon na yon hindi tayo iniiwan at pinapabayaan ni Lord. Binibigyan nya tayo ng karunungan at kalakasan upang mapagtagumpayan natin ang mga pagsubok na ating nararanasan.
Ang tagal na rin since the last time na nag outing kami. We are blessed to experiwnce it again. But this time is our church outdoor fellowship in Botolan, Zambales. My son loves the beach and he is very happy. I also love the view. Especially this view, the sunset. It calms my heart. It is so relaxing.
Sarap maging bata. Puro laro at kain lang. Walang problema.at stress. Katulad nila, gagawa daw sila.castle. hehehe...
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Hebrews 4:16 NIV
Do not doubt what can do in our lives. So that we will receive and experience the things that He has instore for us. We need to believe so that we can understand His plans for us.
In times of needs, He is the only one that can help us..We only need to trust Him. God already knows what we need. We only need to be still and wait patiently.
Kapag may anak ka talaga na maliit at makilit, maswerte ka na kung matiran kapa. Ako bumili, sya kumain. Hahahaha
Kapag may kainan syempre kelangan magSharon. Hahaha. Buti tiniran pa ako ng anak ko. Hahahaha.. Good eve po sa lahat..
Super saya at nag enjoy ng sobra ang anak ko kanina nun nagswimming kami. Nagkaroon kasi ng church outing and fellowship kanina. Iba talaga pakiramdam kapag nakikita mong masaya ang anak mo. Sarap maging bata.
"Nahihirapan ba ang sinuman sa inyo? Manalangin siya. Nagagalak ba ang sinuman? Umawit siya ng papuri sa Diyos."
James 5:13
Prayer is our way of communicating with the Lord. Whenever we are down, we have to pray to Him. He will sureley help Us. He will send people in our lives to be an instrument to help us in times of needs. We tell the Lord everything that we are going through and what we feel that we can't tell to anyone. If we feel heavy, let us sing song of worship to the Lord. We will feel released when we sing. We must have our prayer time or devotion. We must have a heart to heart talk with the Lord. Not only when we need something. Not only when we are sad. Not only if we are sick or if we have problems. We must pray to him in any circumstances...
1 Pedro 5:6-7
⁶ Kaya nga, pasakop kayo sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos at dadakilain niya kayo pagdating ng takdang panahopn. ⁷Ipagkatiwala ninyo sa kanya ang inyong mga alalahanin sa buhay sapagkat siya ay nagmamalasakit sa inyo.
This is just a reminder for all of us. God is in times of stress and what do we need when we are stress? Rest.
Amen, hindi ko man alam kung pagod ka na, hindi ko man alam kung stress ka, hindi ko man alam kung kailangan mo ng kapahingahan pero naniniwala akong alam Niya.
Gusto ko lamang i share sainyo mga kapatid kung paano hanapin ang kapahingahan sa kalagitnaan ng unos sa buhay:
•Call Him during sleepless night- minsan masarap mag-isip kapag gabi dahil walang nakakakita pero ang oras din na ito ang pinakamasakit gawin kaya naman, kausapin mo lang Siya kapag na st-stress kaka overthink sa oras na ito.
• Trust God with your future- because He has plans for you.
• Allow Him to lead you- because He knows the path and God is in control.
• Give and cast all your worries to Him- simply because He cares for you.
You see, sa bawat oras na tayo ay nai-stress nandoon ang Panginoon, so that also means that GOD is our REST.
Siya ang kapahingahan kaya Sakan'ya ka magpahinga.
We are all blessed!🤗
Genesis 33:4
But Esau ran to meet Jacob and embraced him; he threw his arms around his neck and kissed him. And they wept.
We all know that Esau and Jacob are siblings, Esau is older so when they got older he should be the one who inherit his father's inheritance but Jacob simply impersonated Esau out of his blind father's deathbed and even wrestled with God and forced God to blessed him.
We can see that's sometimes jealousy made us do the things that are bad, it makes us compete with others and make us do anything just to be good at something and just to have someting. We can see that Jacob's jealousy makes him cheat, cheat just to be blessed and just to get the blessing.
But this verse for today is the best plot twist, after Jacob cheats, Esau wants to kill Jacob but Jacob fled, but after all of that Esau still choose to forgive Jacob, as stated in this verse,"Esau ran to meet Jacob and embraced him; he threw his arms around his neck and kissed him and they wept".
So not all enemies will stay as our enemies, forgiving and loving them again is needed to make things up all over again. We are all blessed!🤗
Children's Sunday School. As a Sunday School Teacher, very challenging aa akin ang ministry na eto. Lalo nakapag story telling. Dapat ingat tayo sa mga words na ginagamit kasi mga bata. At the same time, dapat magagaan lang na words, ung madali nilang maintindihan. At dapar ready ka sa mga tanong nila.lalo na sa mga very curious na mga bata. Hehe.
The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.
Proverbs 18:10 NLT
Sa bawat araw, may kinakaharap tayong mga storms sa buhay. Maaaring ang storms or problema na ito ay nasa pamilya, trabaho, kaklase o sa boss mo. Nakakasawa man mag deal sa mga problemang paulit-ulit but always remember that you have God na pwede mong takbuhan at sumbungan sakali mang hindi mo na kayang ihandle ang mga nangyayari.
You are free to rest in His presence. Magpahinga ka muna sa Kaniya at umasa na sa pagkagising mo, may pag asa at lakas ka na ulit para lumaban pang muli.
Nakakapagod man pero magiging motivated tayong lumaban lalo na alam natin na GOD ALWAYS GOT OUR BACK😁
Sending warm hugs and prayers to those people who's having a hard time. You are beyond blessed!
Hindi ko talaga mapiligilan. 3 times a day ako magkape. Kaway kaway sa mga coffee lover jan. !!!
When storms come in your life, do not worry..Focus on God. He is always there. He is always with you. He will never leave you. Have Faith!!!
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Psalms 107:1 NIV
-------------
We should always give thanks to God no matter what is happening in our lives. Whether we are receiving little things or big. Whatever situation we have, we have to give thanks. For God is always with us and is proving everything for us. Things that is for our own good.
Psalms 46:1
[1] God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
When troubles come, we can turn to Him. He is totally available to help us. Whenever we exercise our trust in Him, whenever we pour our heart out to Him in prayer, we can enjoy the Lord as our refuge. Trust in Him at all times !!!
Undas 2022!
Since hindi kami makapunta ng anak ko sa cemetery kasi maputik at naka mahirapan anak ko. Nag sindi na lanv ako ng candle dito sa house. Candles for my love ones. Candles for my lolo and lola, my parents and tita. They are gone physically but they will always be a part of my life and will stay in my heart.
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10 NIV
-------
Many things are happening in our lives. There are times that we feel hopeless. God"s Word reminds us that He is always with us. He encourages us that He is with us and will strengthen us. God wants us to have a strong faith in Him, walk with Him in time that we feel hopeless.
He said in Hebrews 13:5
I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
We are not alone in our battles. God is always with us no matter what happens..
Hebrew 4:16
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
We have to believe in order to understand it. How will you understand God's way of answering your prayers if you do not believe in Him. How will he give your hear desires if God is not in your heart. We need to have an intimate relationship with God. The more we understand His Grace, the more we receive victory. Do not doubt what God can do. We need to come before Him with a pure heart. God knows what is best for you. Keep trusting Him!
Sopas sa maulan panahon.
Still it is windy here in our place, and still, it looks that it will rain. Praying that everyone will be safe. And praying for those who are affected by the typhoon. I heard on the news that there is another typhoon. I pray that it will be gone so that no one will suffer. Praying for those affected areas in our country, that they will have shelter, food and clothes. And that our government will always help them and provide their needs, and rescue those who are in danger. We have foods to eat at home but I am worried for those who are affected by the typhoon.
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
Genesis 1:3-5 NIV
Sunday School Lesson - Creation
Kape + pandesal + rainy morning = Ang sarap matulog.
Masarap sana matulog, kaya lang napanuod ko news kanina, naawa ako sa mga affected ng tphoon. Let us all pray for them. Sana wala nasaktan. Sana may pagkain sila at shelter. Let us all pray for their safety.
After dinner, heto ako, gumagawa ng lesson for tomorrow's Bible Study. Kakatapos ko lang din iassist sa pagbabasa anak ko..Lord, kayo po bahala magbigay sa akin ng wisdom..

My son really loves basketball. Gustong gusto nya magplay lalo na kapag nakakakita sya ng basketball court. Kahit sa pagddrawing, basketball pa rin. 🏀⛹️
Ang hirap pala kapag nasanay sa English ang bata. My son was able to read english words at the age of 4 when he was in daycare. And now he is in Kindergarten, he was having difficulty memorizing numbers , colors and shapes in tagalog at the beginning of classes. I tried to teach him everyday and this Abakada book was a great help for both of us. Now he can read words in tagalog. I am happy and thankful for God given wiadom.
