INHERITANCE

INHERITANCE

Hello, sorry if we have only posted today ;-), hope we will post more often these coming days, hahaha, Pray for us. :D These past weeks, pastor Marlou has been talking to us about the dreams of God for us, our part in the church, and our inheritance. We we’re all so excited about it! And last night I’ve red about David’s Victories at 1 Chronicles 18, and as you read it, everywhere David go “The LORD gave David victory everywhere he went.” v6b, 13b; 2 Samuel 8:6b,14b. Isn’t that great, everywhere he went the Lord gave him victory, why? We know coz David did all that was right in the eyes of the Lord. It is the Lord who gives us victories! I know Santiago is our inheritance! And I believe that we will have victory wherever God wants us to be! Yes, there will be problems, small & great, but Santiago is our inheritance & it will come to past and all glory, honor & power belongs to God alone.

God has said to us that we should PREPARE the church & now we must SATURATE Santiago, we don’t know how but that is why we’ll gonna have a prayer & fasting day & overnight prayer meeting at December 12, 2008. Like David has done, he always inquire of the Lord. Pastor Marlou was saying to us last night, Sunday, pioneering is very hard, but it’s very exciting. We’re so excited about what God will do in our lives, in our families, in our church & in Santiago, or even more, the whole world. We don’t know what God has in store for us, but we know it’s great.

As sons of God we all have inheritance. What is your inheritance? What is your dream? God has given you a dream but "All our dreams can come true - if we have the courage to pursue them." – Walt Disney

Have a blessed day, Godblezyol

Cornerstone Youth Sports fest 2008 & Youth Service

Cornerstone Youth
Sports fest 2008
& Youth Service

Praise the Lord! Got some good news for you folks, haha. We have conducted a sports fest for the youth of Cornerstone - Cornerstone Youth Sports Fest 2008. We are led by pastor Jhun. Why have we conducted this? Because we’d like to know more & build our relationship with the youths in our cell groups & the youths who attend our youth service every Friday night @ 6 pm :D, frankly, we just want to have a longer fellowship with them, haha. So, after pastor Jhun has opened it to us, he opened it to the leaders & pastor’s of our church. And they said, “bakit kayo lang ay? Sali naman kami!” (why only you? Include us!) :D so, all have joined, Praise The Lord! So we asked permission to pastor Winston, and I think he agreed. :D, haha. Praise God!

This will be held at Sefton Village, Divisoria, Santiago City @ October 4, 2008, 7 am – 5 pm, registration is 20 pesos, our theme is: “BUILDING RELATIONSHIP, ENHANCING INTIMACY”. Why do we have this theme? Coz we’ve seen that over the last 4 years, if you are from Cornerstone Main you only mingle w/ Cornerstone Main young people not with the other youths of the Cornerstone, that is every united :-( sad. Yup, there’s a division upon the youths and we’d like to break that barrier. So we conducted this one day sports fest to build our relationship and enhance our intimacy w/ each other. Where there is unity God commands his blessings to come. to God be all the Glory, :D

And now, last Wednesday we have a meeting about this and it has taken us 2 hours to finish it, haha. It was great, the leaders of Cornerstone San Isidro and Naggasican was w/ us. It was great, we had a good time together, :D. We place leaders on each team, but now it’ll change coz there will be only 4 teams to be put up, as suggested by one of our leaders of our church. So it’ll be 4 teams. :D

Ok, about our youth service last Friday. It was great, for the first time on our youth service, ptra. Emmy Lou preached, hahaha. Praise God.She talked about “what does God expect of me?” @ Deuteronomy 10:12. And here she gave 5 points:

1. Fear God
2. Live according to His will
3. Love Him
4. Worship Him with all your heart and soul
5. Obey His commands

And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

Deuteronomy 10:12.

Godblezyol! :D

Missions Trip and Youth Service

Missions Trip
& Youth Service

It’s been along time since we’ve blogged again, hahaha. Well, our pastors are now at UK, praise the Lord. They are Pastor Mark, Pastor Marlou, Pastor Winston, Pastor James A. and Pastor August. They’re blessed, hahaha, kamusta po kau jan? Well, they are not just there to relax and to have vacation, they are there to make an impact at the churches there. :D, we’re missing them, hehehe. Pastor Marlou, miss ka na namin, hehehe Pasalubong ha. Joke lang. they are there for almost 1 month, long long time. :D gonna miss them so much. :D

Ok, last week on our youth service. Worship was really great; the presence of the Lord was there :D, and pastor Jhun shared the word of God, he shared about I Timothy 6:11-12

11”But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. 12Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” I Timothy 6:11-12

One thing I remembered on His topic is, if we want to follow Christ, we must run away from all evil things. And He talked about Joseph on this. What Joseph did when he was tempted by Potiphar’s wife, he ran away from her. Day after day, Joseph was tempted but he keeps running away. In our life, temptations will never run out but we should always run away from it. The good news is that God is always by our side, that we can call for help when we are tempted, it is really hard if we do it by our own strength but with God’s grace and strength we can be victorious if we just cling to Him. In John 15:5 w/o Him we can do nothing, we must always be connected to Him no matter what. In Him we can be victorious, we can be winners, we can be conquerors.

Yes, there are times we fail, but the good thing is we never stop there.


God has big plans in our lives.
We just have to cling unto Him no matter what.
Blessings from CCS Generations Santiago Main!

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!
