Crown Of Glory

Crown Of Glory

Praise the Lord! As we are used to do a day before our Sunday Services, we have a core group meeting. We have fellowship, greeting each other of what happened to us that week, praising God, chatting, laughing, worshipping, eating and planning what to do on Sunday. We normally have pastor Jhun to create the program for our Sunday Service.

Tomorrow came. We had our morning service; I could hardly remember what happened that morning, :D. then it’s night service, I said to myself, ‘whatever happens I’ll worship God no matter what’. Then we started our night service. As we normally do, we get ourselves a ka-pre, that’s ka-prayer partner, hehehe, and we pray for the service, the people who’ll gonna come, the presence of God, etc. etc.

After that, we welcomed each other. As we normally do, again! We have fast and slow songs for the praise and worship, but that night, we go straight ahead to the slow song. Then pastor Marlou called for an altar call to all those who are hungry for more of God, then I think all of who are in the room came. Even though we don’t feel like going to the front but we know in our hearts that we are really hungry for more of God in our lives. We cried out to God, we expressed our hearts to Him and God touched us….

There are 3 words for us that night, the first is Holy. When pastor Marlou is saying it repeatedly, I began weeping and weeping and I was trembling with fear because of the Holiness of God, this is the first time I experienced this. I was like hiding my face beside the wall of the church that time, I don’t know what to do, and I just hid my face covering it with my hands. Then the second came word came, ‘Drink’. But unfortunately I didn’t respond to it, but others responded and they began to laugh in the Spirit for a short time. Then the last word came, God gave a vision to pastor Marlou. He saw two crowns and this is God’s crown of glory. Then pastor Marlou preached about this, and we responded to it, we go to the very front of the altar and we kneeled down, we raised our hands as surrender to God and we accepted it in faith and I felt a crown has been put in my head and I began to cry, I was filled w/ Joy that time. We we’re so filled with Joy.

Then we have testimonies that time, and some came testifying what God has done in their lives that night. And what is amazing is that almost all of us are experiencing trials in our lives, that the enemy is telling us that we are not worthy of serving God. But that night all of us were revived and so encouraged. Then pastor Jhun preached for a short time. Before we close our service, pastor Marlou said that we should do everything we can not to let the devil take this crown away! And that is our encouragement to you, go on for God. The enemy will only tell you lies. Focus your eyes unto Jesus. Godblezyol!

Praise the Lord! It’s great what the Lord is doing here in our youth group. On one of our overnight prayer meetings, God said to pastor Marlou that when the watch turns 12:00 am He will give him a word / vision. And then God gave him a vision, a vision of a King entering the universities of Santiago City, we are so amazed what God has given us. Pastor Marlou don’t know how God will enter the universities, until one morning, while pastor Marlou and pastor Jhun is worshipping and praying at Sefton Village at the Library, God spoke to them about having a club at every school and university. Whoooo! Just so excited what God will do, :D.

Yes, we don’t know how to do it but God knows what to do. God is so faithful, He is very faithful. Now all of the Leaders of our church are now organizing this movement (correct me if I’m wrong). Praise God coz we have now a chairman on this club, she is ate Leizel. We’re just so very blessed by her, her heart for cell group, now she has been given more. She is just a blessing. The club will be called Livingstone Club, hahaha :D

To God be all the glory!

Youth Service

Youth Service

Whoooo! It’s very exciting and challenging what God is doing here at our youth group this week. Last Friday, August 8, 2008, we have visitors from Singapore, they’re such a blessing. Most of our service we just have an average of 50+ youths. But that night, we have 90 youths, whoooo! The worship was really really really really great, God just moved powerfully in our midst from the very start up to the last, it was really really great and for us it’s the best servicew we had, it’s really exciting what God will do, :D

We have a special speaker that night. She had visited Philippines for 3 times and it’s such a blessing that she’s the one to share the word of God to us that night. She’s Sis. Maureen, a very good friend of ours. While we were worshiping, she saw a white sheet and she inquired to God what is this white sheet? God told her that it is the heart of this young people, how pure they worship Me(God) – it’s so encouraging to hear that. And she said that we must guard this white sheet that we must not let any stain or spot get into it, that we must do all we can not to defile it. God is so amazing that He looks into our hearts not on our outside appearance…Godblezyol!

God's Way

God's Way

Praise the Lord, it’s been a long time since we’ve blogged again :D. Well there’s so many things that has happened here, but first of all we have visitors from UK they’re here for 1 month over. They’re such an encouragement for us, some of them are here for the first time :D, and I think God has moved also in their lives, well but first of all on July 11, 2008 on our youth service, the youths of the UK Team were there w/ bro. Kenny and they have testimonies and special nos that night and bro. Kenny preached, I can’t recall it all but I think it’s about standing up for God, :D, here are some pics that night,



And we also have a cell group at Patul Highschool I think last July 15, 2008 and Kirsty was there with us, we have cell grouped I think just 5 or 6 youths there, but ate Leizel said that there was more. They were just nervous because Kirsty was there, hehehe! But it was great, :D



There so many things about what God has done while they were here, they have been with us in cell groups, youth service, hospital visitation, feeding programs, Sunday services and in Mcdo, :D, and they have been such a blessing to us. :D



To the UK Team, you have been a great blessing to us, we pray that God will bless you greatly in everything that you do. Godblezyol! :D

Okay, last week, ptr. Ariel gave me the iPod he has and he asked that if we have songs on our computer, and if we could put some songs in it and we have to install iTunes in on our computer so that we could put some songs in it. Installing iTunes was a mess, we’ve got to download iTunes 7.4 to put songs in the iPod, and we have no internet, then a virus (the one that when you try to show the hidden files, it wouldn’t show ), got into our computer, and we have to system restore our computer for a couple of times to fix it but it turned out to be more worse, we cannot install iTunes 7.4 coz it needed a file to install it, then we tried to uninstall it but again it wouldn’t, it’s really a mess. Hahahaha! We couldn’t figure out what to do so we formatted our computer and set upped windows xp on our comp, hahaha! :D

While we were doing all these things, I’m listening to one of the preaching of Bishop T.D. Jakes at the iPod and at his preaching he said, why does God allow difficult situations, bad situations, really bad situations in our lives that in some point of our lives we ask that if there is really a God and if it is really God’s will that we are in these situations. I have done things that is really bad, really really bad in our home, church, school etc but I have learned that God is really a patient God, that He allows these things to happen in our lives to mold us what He wants us to be, so no matter situation you’re in, whether how good or how bad it is, it is a part of God’s great plan for you, don’t be like Judas who gave up, don’t be like other Christians who gave up easily, but let God move in your life, trust in Him, open your heart to Him, let Him prune you, let Him work in your life, no matter situation you’re in He knows what is best for His sons and daughters, just understand that God moves ways that we cannot understand. :D

Godblezol! :D
