The Glory of God

Preached by Pastor Daniel, January 29, 2012 ( Fulfillment of Promises )

The Scripture tells about the glory of God. In Exodus 33:18, Moses is begging the Lord to see His glory, verse 19, Then He said, I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the Name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion (mercy) on whom I will have compassion.
It is said that the glory of God consist of goodness,as we always say "God is good all the time, All the time God is good. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not be perish and have everlasting life.(John 3:16)
Proclaiming the Name of the Lord, He has a lot of names, and each of His name is glory. We give glory, honor, and praise unto His Name.
Grace is receiving something you don't deserve.Unmerited favor.
And the last is mercy.
We should all be resemblance of our Father by being merciful, gracious, long suffering and abundant in goodness. The Lord wants to give us future. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.- 2nd Corinthians 5:21
God also give glory to man, Haggai 2:9 says "but the glory of God is greater".
In 2 Corinthians 2:7, But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages of our glory. Because of the freedom God has granted man, God's plan for the crucifixion of Christ had to be kept secret. In the gospel of Mark4:11, and he said to them, " To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things are come in parables. In other words, only those believer is to understand the mystery. And that mystery is Jesus Christ Crucified!
When we say glory, it is the beauty, the radiance,the fruit. Glory is the essence of a brethren.
Everything has its own glory-1 Cor 15:39. In verse 47-49, the first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second man is the Lord from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.And as we have borne the image of the man of dust,we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.

The Glory of the Lord is risen upon me!
May the Glory of the Lord shine upon you!

Jesus is the Light

Preached by Pastor Daniel,RVC HK


The Beginning of everything is important. In the beginning,we do not know what will be the middle and the end.
Begin with God. The Spirit of God knows everything from the beginning. Partner with the Spirit of God and surely everything will fall into its place and you will succeed. In Gen.1:3 Then God said,let there be light and there was light. Light is associated with life. Imagine life without light. Life without the sun that gives us light each and everyday. People will live in darkness. People will die. There will be no food. Plants will die,without sun,plants will not be able to produce fruits. It needs chlorophyll to obtain energy form the light. The world will be so cold without the sun that gives warmth to us. Without light there is no life.
What is the Word, the light and the life?
Jesus is the light. In the Gospel of John, In the beginning was the Word,and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
This Book of the law shall not depart from you mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.-Joshua 1-8
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet,-Psalm 119-105. The lamp unto my feet! The light that will let us see the path that we are taking. The Word that if we put in our heart and meditate,it will illuminate us.
The Word define as three in one. The spirit, the light and the life and all this together is JESUS.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Today,as the year begins we should know the light. We should value relationship more than how we value it before, and most of all, we must obey the great commission.
The Bible talk about God. The story in the Bible is only the mirror of the real thing. God is the real thing.God is the beginning and the end of everything. The author and the finisher of life. The One and Only God.

Blessed be Thy Name forever and ever! Amen.

When we receive things from the Lord, give time to thank HIM.
Psalm 103 verse 1 says " Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that
is within me bless HIS Holy Name!"-- The Lord our God will bless
everything that within us. Concerning the heart, spirit, thoughts
and ideas, and the soul.
Verse 2 says "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefit":
--Dont allow yourself to forget all the benefits from the Lord.
For in Him we live, we move and have our being- for we are also His
offspring.( Acts 17:28)
For Jesus is the vine and we are His branches.Like the vine, He is the one
who supply and carry us, who get the nutrients from the soil and deliver in
its branches.He who give us knowledge wisdom and understanding that lead us in
truth and walk with Him by faith.
Verse 3 says "Who forgives all your iniquities. Who heals all your diseases."
--He forgive all our sins. With the precious blood of the Lamb, sins are
washed away, and by His stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5)
Verse 4 says " Who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with
lovingkindness and mercies".
--Jesus love is covering us. He has been crucified because of His great
and marvelous love for us.
Mercy is --not allowing us to be punish as we deserve.He crown us with the mind
of Christ, Spirit of wisdom and revealation.
God has redeemed us from destructions. He will make people to care for you.
His grace is suffiecient for us and He always do us a favor.
Count our blessings and name it one by one, and give thanks to the Lord!
verse 5 " Who satisfies your mouth with good things;so that your youth is renewed
like the eagle's."
--The Lord will favor us and add grace into us.We are object of mercy and NOT the
object of wrath.
When we receive great and wonderful things from the Lord, give time to thank HIM.
Appreciate what God has done for us.We must express our love to others. The Lord bring
wonderful people into our lives to increase what we have.Every person love when other people
love them back, Being appreciated. It is good when somebody love us back, but we should
learn that by treating God that well.Action speaks louder tha voice, how pleasant it is that
you know that you are loved!
We are blessed for we are able to celebrate the victory of our Lord. WE should be thankful
that we are not one of those who are fighting against sickness.We are so blessed that we know
the living God, the King of Kings and the only one God!
These are the things that we call the GOD's Benefits.
Praise the Lord!

Kasama Kang Tumanda


         
Ang Awiting ito
Ay alay sayo
sintunado man 'tong mga pangako sa'yo
Ang gusto ko lamang
Kasama kang tumanda
        
Patatawanin kita pag hindi ka masaya
Bubuhatin kita pag nirayuma kana
O kay sarap isipin...
Kasama kang tumanda
        
Ibibili ng balot pag mahina nang tuhod
Ikukuha ng gamot pag sumakit ang likod
O kay sarap isipin...
Kasama kang tumanda
        
Sasamahan kailan man
Mahigit kumulang di mabilang
Tatlumpong araw sa isang buwan
Umabot man tayo ng 3001
        
Loves n loves pa rin kita
kahit ugod-ugod kana
para sakin ikaw ang pinakapoging Papa
O kay sarap isipin...
Kasama kang tumanda
        
At nangangako sayo
Pag sinagot mong OO
iaalay sayo buong puso ko
Sumangayon ka lamang...
Kasama kang tumanda
        



For my beloved..Kulog

My Precious Friend

Mid of July, four years ago,
I met you.
I sit and I type and I stare at my screen, 
I can't help but wonder what all of this means.
With mouse in hand ...I roam through this maze,
On an infinite search... lost in a daze.
We chat with each other, we type all our woes
At times we'll band together to gang up on our foes.
I wait for somebody, to type out my name
I want recognition, but it is always the same.
Soon between us friendship are formed - but - why I don't know,
Our friendship, will flourish and grow.
We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes we'll flirt,
In IMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.
Why is it on screen, I am so easily bold,
Telling my secrets, that have never been told.
The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell, 
I have some problems, and need someone to tell.
I can't tell real people, but tell someone I must
So I turn to my laptop ...and to those whom I trust..
Even though I haven't meet you personally...the truth still remains, you are one of my trusted friend.
Among life's precious jewels,
Genuine and rare
The one I call 'our friendship'
Has worth beyond compare.
Having you as my friend is such a blessing,
My Nurse, my Friend my all in all.
Your sweet voice mend my broken heart in a glance
As my heart really wants to dance.
No words can express how grateful I am
How can I find the shining word,
the glowing phrase that tells all that
your love has meant to me,
all that your friendship spells?
There is no word, no phrase for
you on whom I so depend.
All I can say to you is this,
God bless you my precious friend.

Love

May this note about God's Love be a blessing to  everyone.

Love is the attribute of God that means the most to humanity.If God did not love HIS creations, HE would surely have disposed of us long ago in favor of a better model.As I read through the Bible I come across many instances of mankind's failures. Each time God's love and patience are tested but HE keeps working with us.

John tells us that "God is love." (1 John 4:8)Love is God's nature. How much does God love the world?
"For God so love the world so much that HE gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in HIM may not die but have eternal life."(John 3:16)
The Greek language has a word for this kind of love,
"agape"- the Love of Christ our Lord for mankind. Self
giving loyal concern that freely accepts another and seeks his/her good.

God loved His chosen people. Beginning with Abraham, He watched over the Israelites throughout their generations. "The Lord did not love you and choose you because you outnumbered other peoples;
you were the smallest nation on earth. But the Lord loved you and wanted to keep the promise that He made to your ancestors. That is why He saved you by His great might and set you free from slavery to the king of Egypt."( Deut.7:7-8)
God chose Abraham to start a special nation that would be God's own and from which He would bring HIS Son into the world.

John also tells us "Let us love one another, because love comes from God."(1 John 4:7) God expects us to show love towards each other. He also expects that we will love HIM totally. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength." (Deut. 6:5) Jesus repeated this as a commandment when challenged by the Pharisees. They tried to trap Jesus and asked HIM " Which is the greatest commandment in the law?" (Matthew 22:36)

Jesus responded with the Word," Love the Lord your God with all you heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important commandment. The second most important commandment is like it; Love your neighbor as you love yourself."( Matthew 22:37-39) He was only quoting the Scriptures that these Pharisees would have been very familiar with, Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18. Jesus did not change the law;He fulfilled it. His saying about love were not new, only His emphasis was new.

We cannot create Love.It is a gift from God to us." For God has poured out His love into our hearts by means of the Holy Spirit, who is God's gift to us." ( Romans 5:5) "The Spirit produces love, joy,peace, patience,kindness,goodness,faithfulness, humility and self-control."(Galatians 5:22-23)

Jesus said the love was a sign of HIS followers." if you have love from one another, then everyone will know that you are my disciples." (John 13:35)
Jesus said,"Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may become the children of Father in Heaven."(Matthew 5:43-45)

It was the Apostle John who wrote extensively on the word love and what it means for the believer. " Do not love the world or anything that belongs to the world,If you love the world you do not love the Father."(1 John 2:15) God does not honor divided loyalties. He wants first place in our hearts. In 1 Timothy 6:10, "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
There is nothing wrong with money,only the love of money.

John's emphasis continues with "We love because God first loved us. If we say we love God and hate others,we are liars. For we cannot love God whom we have not seen, if we do not love others  whom we have seen." (1 John 4:19-20) We act out our love for God by showing love to those around us. That is how He wants us to use the love He has given to us; by helping those we come in contact with our everyday life.
