Delightful Culture :)

What I like about BCC-culture is the readiness of the heart to listen on the word.
Wala pa nga ang main dish--labasan na ng notebook! :) Excited masyado. :)

The Deeper Understanding of my Covenant

It's been 3 years since I entered real relationship with the Lord. So as an expression of my love to the Lord--i have availed discipleship.
God is really in the mode of teaching--and humbling each leaders while in leadership. Upon hearing stories after stories of leading, teaching, inspiring, correcting & rebuking those girls God has put on our care--I have realized that 3years is not enough to prove that I am good enough as a leader leading leaders. Realizing too that even I have been first than the others but time does not rate how good enough you are in leading. In understanding the reality, truly there are leaders is better off than you [in my on perspective only.] But I believe God has its own way of putting everyone including leaders in equilibrium and that makes us humbled even after many achievements on leading or should I say "freebies". What matters in leading is that you are leading according to God's perception & preferences. Being so dependent in the Lord in this--and realizing that after all, it is His girls [not mine nor yours] :). I am just in a covenant that I will do what Jesus modeled to the people out of love, grace and humility. I believe, as a leaders--we should be in a reminder and reassurance before in the Lord and to yourself on fulfilling the vows. :)

servant's hand

A hand with a heart of serving. Modeled by the our greatest model: Jesus. Let this night be a personalia of serving the girls God has let me serve all by His grace even the spiritual family--with maanne. Another night of covenant-making with me to His girls and His girls to me to be in hands-united serving the Lord and be in with discipleship. Im not even worthy of serving them, yet God allowed this appointed time where the church and God are the witness. *Praises to Jesus! :) Im so humbled in serving His girls. All the more as the Lord will bless me with His girls more--i will be reminded that it would be all in Grace and Humility. *Ann Lucile Mar--re.encounter

Voice Raised & a Covenant of a Lifetime.

NO ID. NO ENTRY

[EZEKIEL 44:9]
"This is what the Sovereign LORD says: No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and flesh is to enter my sanctuary, not even the foreigners who live among the Israelites."



~One of the identity of HIS warrior is CIRCUMCISED heart and flesh.
Strangers are those who do not circumcised their heart.

PROMISE TO CLAIM

Jeremiah 31

 The LORD said:Israel, I promise

   that someday all your tribes

   will again be my people,

   and I will be your God.In the desert I was kind

   to those who escaped death.

   I gave them peace, and when the time is right,

   I'll do the same for you.I, the LORD, have spoken.

   Some time ago, the LORD appeared to me and told me to say:
Israel [Megan], I will always love you; that's why I've been so patient and kind. You are precious to me, and so I will rebuild your nation.

  Once again you will dance for joy

   and play your tambourines.You will plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria and enjoy the grapes.I, the LORD, will bring my people back from Babylonia and everywhere else on earth.

   The blind and the lame will be there.

   Expectant mothers and women about to give birth

   will come and be part of that great crowd.

   They will weep and pray as I bring them home. I will lead them to streams of water.They will walk on a level road and not stumble. I am a father to Israel, my favorite children.

   Listen to me, you nations

   nearby or across the sea.

   I scattered the people of Israel,

   but I will gather them again.

   I will protect them like a shepherd

   guarding a flock;

   I will rescue them from enemies

   who could overpower them.

   My people will come

   to Mount Zion

   and celebrate;

   their faces will glow

   because of my blessings.

   I'll give them grain, grapes,

   and olive oil,

   as well as sheep and cattle.

   Israel will be prosperous

   and grow

   like a garden

   with plenty of water.

   I will bless my people

   with more food

   than they need,

   and the priests will enjoy

   the choice cuts of meat.

   I, the LORD, have spoken.

  But I, the LORD, say

   to dry your tears.

   Someday your children

   will come home

   from the enemy's land.

   Then all you have done for them

   will be greatly rewarded.

 The LORD All-Powerful, the God of Israel, said:

   I promise to set the people of Judah free and to lead them back to their hometowns. And when I do, they will once again say,

   "We pray that the LORD

   will bless his home,

   the sacred hill in Jerusalem

   where his temple stands."

   The people will live in Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah. Some will be farmers, and others will be shepherds.

Those who feel tired and worn out will find new life and energy,

and when they sleep, they will wake up refreshed. ^[j]

Someday, Israel and Judah will be my field where my people and their livestock will grow.

In the past, I took care to uproot them, to tear them down, and to destroy them. But when that day comes, I will take care to plant them and help them grow.

   Here is the new agreement that I, the LORD, will make with the people of Israel:

   "I will write my laws

   on their hearts and minds.

   I will be their God,

   and they will be my people.

   "No longer will they have to teach one another to obey me. I, the LORD, promise that all of them will obey me, ordinary people and rulers alike. I will forgive their sins and forget the evil things they have done."

   I am the LORD All-Powerful.

   I command the sun

   to give light each day,

   the moon and stars

   to shine at night,

   and ocean waves to roar.

   I will never forget

   to give those commands,

   and I will never let Israel

   stop being a nation.

   I, the LORD, have spoken.

  
MESSAGE FOR ME TODAY
The people of Israel moan and say to me,

   "We were like wild bulls,
   but you, LORD, broke us,
   and we learned to obey.
   You are our God--
   please let us come home.
    ¹⁹When we were young,
   we strayed and sinned,
   but then we realized
   what we had done.
   We are ashamed and disgraced
   and want to return to you."
    ²⁰People of Israel,
   you are my own dear children.
   Don't I love you best of all?
   Though I often make threats,
   I want you to be near me,
   so I will have mercy on you.
   I, the LORD, have spoken.
    ²¹With rock piles and signposts,
   mark the way home,
   my dear people.
   It is the same road
   by which you left.
    ²²Will you ever decide
   to be faithful?
   I will make sure that someday
   things will be different,
   as different as a woman
   protecting a man.
~God has been ever so merciful. He was patient and abounding in Love. He broke me at this point so I can see myself obeying the LORD. Yes, I was threatened of his warnings -- yet it was a threat of love. He warned because he wants me to near with HIM. And yes, I lost the sight of my home where He is -- but he directed and lead me back. I am lost -- because of unfaithfulness. But now, I decided to be faithful. So help me God.
[Lord, I desire to home with you again. I remember this day the day I have encountered you. I realized that I am so lost and needed so much of your grace. ='( ]

The Turn

For the sake of Jacob my servant,
       of Israel my chosen,
       I summon you by name
       and bestow on you a title of honor,
       though you do not acknowledge me.(Isa.45:4)

I am the LORD, and there is no other;
       apart from me there is no God.
       I will strengthen you,
       though you have not acknowledged me.(Isa45:5)

I will raise up Cyrus ^[a] in my righteousness:
       I will make all his ways straight.
       He will rebuild my city
       and set my exiles free,
       but not for a price or reward,
       says the LORD Almighty."

1.) God's summon

*summon-- to call into action; rouse; call forth

~He calls because HE wants you to do someting and to call your attention.. :)

2.) God's bestows

*bestows -- to present as a gift; give; confer

~He gives.. and it's free --and.. and.. because HE loves you! :)

3.) God's wills

*will--wish or desire

~God has desire-- the will which is for us.

      *He he summons, bestows and had a will because He is the GOD of INTEGRITY. His words are never revocable.

      Yes, though you do not acknowledge HIM-- still HIS promises to you are fulfilled and the common point of this: HIS LOVE and HIS GRACE. Indeed, It was and is the main-est reasons ever told.

      People may blame GOD for not seeing the promise. They blame him because they have accused God's promises to be a lie; or because they think they aren't worthy? How futile is the mindset full of condemnation. The fact is that His promises are true--and always genuine and forever; and it happens to generations and beyond. Only, we don't see it nor experienced because of the reason-- 'You did not turm to HIM at one moment of your life'. Apart from GOD-- it is curses. But Good news! There is still grace. :)

"Turn to me and be saved, 

  all you ends of the earth;
  for I am God, and there is no other.(Isa.45:22)
~He sees us on on our 'run-aways' and 'about-faces' yet he encouraged us to turn to HIM like there is no choice because s'ya lang gyud.
