Offering our Lives: Key to Acceleration

This month of May we have experienced acceleration like never been before.

One year ago, our finances encountered a breakthrough. For such a long time , we have suffered the pains of deficit. It was hard to cope up with the bills of the church. On the month of October 2024, the landowner padlocked our then sanctuary at C.M. Recto because we still have not paid our debt amounting to Php 300,000.00. Our speakers were there. Chairs. Sound system. Air conditioning systems.

It was a reality we had to face as a church.

Nevertheless, I continued serving the Lord despite the circumstances. I continued to commit my abilities, time, and finances to God. Seven months later, on May 2025 we were able to pay the Php 300,000.00 debt. Breakthrough has come! Since then, we have never encountered financial difficulties as a church. We entered a season of increase.

And now acceleration! This month we capped off the second floor of our Miracle Church in Blanco, Balingasag. We have become a symbol of progress in the area. We are pioneering grounds in a territory that was once a lifeless and desolate place.

Not just that, we bought a new luxury bus. This is our 2nd gospel bus! Hallelujah!

Duyog aning mga panghitabo, nisubay gyud kita sa mga prinsipyo sa Ginoo. Wala ta misubay sa sistema sa kalibutan. We aligned ourselves with the principles of the Kingdom.

Busa mga igsoon, tungod sa kalooy sa Dios kanato, naghangyo ako kaninyo nga ihalad ninyo ang inyong kaugalingon alang sa Dios isip buhi, balaan, ug sumala sa iyang nahimut-an nga halad. Mao kini ang husto nga pagsimba sa Dios.

Ayaw kamo pagsunod sa mga gawi sa mga tawo niining kalibotana. Tugoti ninyo ang Dios nga mobag-o sa inyong huna-huna, aron masayran ninyo ang kabubut-on sa Dios, kon unsa ang maayo, hingpit, ug ang makapahimuot kaniya. Mga Taga-Roma 12:1-2 APD

Some of the people may have doubts that the Lord is for them- that following God’s principles will truly result to the abundance God has promised them. Makita ba gyud nako ang kamaayo sa Ginoo pamaagi sa pagbag-o sa huna-huna?

I have a word for you. As the verse suggests, tugoti lang ang Ginoo. Tugoti siya mubag-o sa imong huna-huna.

As we offer our bodies as living sacrifice, we will experience the blessing of the Lord. The Lord himself said in the book of Luke that when we give, the Lord notices. For sure, our portion is pressed down, shaken together, and running over.

“Panghatag kamo aron hatagan usab kamo. Kon maghatag kaninyo ang Dios, madagayaon gayod, daw sama nga giuyog niya ang taksanan, gidasok, ug gipaawas pa niya sa dili pa ibubo sa inyong sudlanan. Kay kon unsa kadako ang inyong ihatag sa uban mao usab kana ang ihatag kaninyo.”” Lucas 6:38 APD

The verse is insightful: Kay kon unsa kadako ang inyong ihatag sa uban mao usab kana ang ihatag kaninyo.

Kung kita maghalad ug abilidad, aduna gyuy ibalik ang Ginoo. Unsay mubalik sa imo? Dugang abilidad.

Kung maghalad tag oras, balikan ta sa Ginoo ug dugang oras. When we give our time to God, what took for others ten (10) years, we can accomplish such in less than a year. Inventories will be replenished fast. Sales will double. Years will be saved.

Kung kita sad maghalad ug kwarta, balikan ta sa Ginoo ug dugang kwarta. This is the portion of the children of God.

All these are our portion.

That’s why we just do not associate our thinking with the pattern of this world. We do not follow the systems of this world. We commit first to God before anyone else in this world. Do not worry. God honors our commitment. The promise of God will come. Our divine portion is ours when we continue to align with God's principles.

Wa gyud ta tablahi sa Ginoo. Di gyud ta tablahon sa Ginoo.

Breakthrough is on your way!
