APOSTLE RENATO D. CARILLO

 "No trial will come to us that we cannot handle. If we find it difficult, He will give us the strength and be with us to ensure our victory because of His presence. Instead of running away, confront it in the Spirit, and bring it to prayer and fasting."

- Apostle Renato D. Carillo

CHURCH IS FOR THE SINNERS

 When  Andrea Brillantes said : 

“Kaya nga ako nag-church kasi hindi ako perfect.”

Most often ang dami kasing may maling akala sa Christianity at pagsisimba.The world often expects that once you step inside a church, dapat automatic na mabait ka, perfect, at hindi na nagkakamali. Kapag nakita nilang nag-struggle ka or may nagawang sablay, ang bilis ng batikos: “Nagsisimba pa naman, pero ganyan ang ugali.”

Pero ito ang totoo, We don’t go to church because we are good. We go to church because we need God.

The church was never meant to be a museum for displayed saints; it is meant to be a hospital for sinners. Sabi nga mismo ni Jesus sa Bible 

It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Mark 2:17)

Kaya tayo lumalapit kay Lord hindi para ipagmalaking “buo” tayo, kundi para aminin na broken tayo at kailangan natin ng healing at tulong  Niya. We are all works in progress. We are all patients under the care of the Great Physician.

Kaya sa susunod na makakita tayo ng taong nagsisimba pero nagkakamali pa rin, let’s extend grace instead of judgment. Pare-pareho lang tayong may sakit na pinagagaling ng grasya ng Diyos.

THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

 I wish for this upcoming Christmas for all people to feel genuinely seen, supported & hopeful no matter  what they're going through. I wish for everyone to have at least one moment this upcoming holiday season where they feel warm, appreciated & at peace, the kind of feeling that stays in the heart  ❤️ 💜

Be grateful for Jesus Christ since He is forgiveness, love, grace & the promise of eternal life. What are you thankful for? ❤️💜

CHRISTMAS

 remember, the very first Christmas had no twinkling lights, no Christmas trees, no elaborate decorations, not even a festive Noche Buena. Just a quiet, humble moment—a newborn lying in a manger, surrounded by simplicity and wonder. It’s a beautiful reminder that the heart of Christmas isn’t in the ornaments or the feast, but in love, presence, and the miracle of new beginnings. 🥰♥️

BY CANDY PANGILINAN

 I was moved by Candy Pangilinan’s grounded wisdom when she said, “Do not compete, do not conform, do not compare. So your life will be satisfied and content.”

So much of our exhaustion comes from battles we were never meant to fight.

Racing against people who are not our rivals and adjusting ourselves to standards that are not ours.

Candy’s words remind us that contentment begins the moment we stop questioning our lane and start honoring our pace.

And when you stop competing, you free yourself from pressure.

When you stop comparing, you finally see the quiet beauty of the life you already have.

In the end, true satisfaction is not found in having more, doing more, or becoming more, but in embracing the life that is unfolding before you, one honest, unhurried day at a time.

FOR EVERY WIFE

 POISON THAT KILLS MEN

Once upon a time a beautiful girl got tired of her marriage life and wanted to murder her spouse. 

One morning she ran to her mother and said to her "Mother, I am tired of my husband I can no longer support his nonsense. I want to kill him but I am afraid the Law of the land  will hold me responsible, can you please help me, Mother?"

The mother answered:

- Yes my daughter I can help you, but,  there is a little task attached. 

The daughter asked "What task? I am willing and ready to assume any task attached to get him out" 

OK, said the mother,

1..You will have to make peace with him so that no one will suspect you when he is dead.

2.. You will have to beautify yourself to look young and attractive to him

3.. You have to take good care of him and be very nice and appreciative of him

4.. You have to be patient, loving and less jealous, have more listening ears, be more respectful and obedient 

5. Spend your money for him and don’t get angry even when he doesn't give you money for whatever 

6. Don’t raise your voice against but encourage Peace and love so that you will never be suspected when he must have died.

Can you do all of that? 

Asked the mother.

Yes, I can. She replied

OK, said the mother.

Take this powder and pour a bit into his everyday meal, it will slowly kill him.

After 30 days the lady came back to her mother and said.

Mother, I have no intention of killing my husband again😒. As of now, I have grown to love him more because he has completely changed, he is now a very sweet 🥰husband than I ever imagined. 

What can I do to stop the poison from killing him? 

Please help me Mother 😒, 

She pleaded in a sorrowful tone😤.

The mother answered;

Do not worry my daughter. What I gave you the other day was just Tumeric Powder. It will never kill him. 

In reality, you were the poison that was slowly killing your husband with tension and dispassion.

It was when you started loving, honouring and cherishing him,  you saved him.
