Failure to do it will be a failure to lived!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: 1em; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1em; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; cssFloat: " href="http://app4.websitetonight.com/designer/healing4.jpg/healing4-full;init:.jpg" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one exists for the sake of existence. All of Gods’ creation is related to each other for the ultimate goal of mans fulfilling his call which is to worship His creator, the God of the Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the father of our faith in Christ Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;He who worships God does what he is made for!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/resources/audio/flash_play.php?chapter=4&amp;amp;book=50"&gt;John 4:21-24&lt;/a&gt;- Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." (NIV)&lt;br /&gt;4 Major Results of Worshipping God:&lt;br /&gt;1. Rain of Blessing is flowing- &lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Zech+14%3A17-18"&gt;Zech 14:17-18 &lt;/a&gt;- If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD Almighty, they will have no rain. 18 If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. NIV&lt;br /&gt;2. God presence will come -&lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ps%2022:3%20;&amp;amp;version=31;"&gt;Ps 22:3&lt;/a&gt; But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel KJV&lt;br /&gt;3. God will bring defeat to your enemies -&lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Chron%2020:18-23%20%20;&amp;amp;version=31;"&gt;2 Chron 20:18-23 -18&lt;/a&gt; Jehoshaphat bowed with his face to the ground, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down in worship before the LORD. 19 Then some Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood up and praised the LORD, the God of Israel, with very loud voice.&lt;br /&gt;20 Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful." 21 After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the LORD and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying:&lt;br /&gt;"Give thanks to the LORD, for his love endures forever." 22 As they began to sing and praise, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. 23 The men of Ammon and Moab rose up against the men from Mount Seir to destroy and annihilate them. After they finished slaughtering the men from Seir, they helped to destroy one another.&lt;br /&gt;NIV&lt;br /&gt;4. Obedience to God becomes natural – Worship of God is the foundation of our obedience to Him and his command. He who worship will delight in obeying Him for worship is founded in living Him. &lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deut.+6:4-6;&amp;amp;version=31;"&gt;Deut 6:4-6&lt;/a&gt;- Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.&lt;br /&gt;NIV&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; CLEAR: left; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: left; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1em; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; cssFloat: left" href="http://app4.websitetonight.com/designer/Picture1.jpg/Picture1-full;init:.jpg" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Worshipping God will never be for the benefit of Him, but rather for those who does it. When man fails to worship God, he fails to receive the most potential goodness of God for his life.&lt;br /&gt;Worship is like the key that open the door of Gods fellowship with man. Like a fountain that brings His life giving water. Like a brad that gives him strength and air that causes him to breath.&lt;br /&gt;We are so privilege to be in this ministry who has a heart bit to worship the Lord God in all its doings and programs. A ministry that will not just do things, but do all it’s best to give to God.&lt;br /&gt;Unless we realized this Call to worship and live by it, man will remain in his seeking without finding and existing without living. He who finds God with found Him in a heart of worship!&lt;br /&gt;Lets us not negligent in giving our worship to our Creator! Let’s apply all the biblical, examples and records of worshipping Him!&lt;br /&gt;But it should not just be an act of worship, but the right giving of it!&lt;br /&gt;The biblical ways of Worshipping God!&lt;br /&gt;1. Must be in spirit and truth –&lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=%20Jn%204:23-%2024;&amp;amp;version=31;"&gt; Jn 4:23- 24&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Must be in act of Faith- &lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Heb%2011:6;&amp;amp;version=31;"&gt;Heb 11:6&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Must be with a pure heart –&lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ps%2024:3-4;&amp;amp;version=31;"&gt;Ps 24:3-4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Must be out of love-&lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=%20Jn%2014:15;&amp;amp;version=31;"&gt; Jn 14:15&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Must be the best you can give – &lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen%204:1-7;&amp;amp;version=31;"&gt;Gen 4:1-7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blessed is who worships God for he will live forever more!&lt;br /&gt;Come let us worship Him as who He is. Our Lord God Almighty!!&lt;br /&gt;To Him be Glory and honor and power and praises forever!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jilontario.com-a.googlepages.com/praisereports"&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;back to top&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Area 3 and 6 Churches Anniversary at JIL Canada Praise Valley Camp&lt;br /&gt;T&lt;br /&gt;he Lord showed a different expression of love and glory this year to all JIL Churches in Ontario and Quebec Province. Ontario now has 15 Sunday Services in 9 Cities, while 3 Sunday Services in Quebec in two Cities. We have 13 churches and 2 Sunday service outreaches in Ontario to this day.&lt;br /&gt;This has started from just 6 brethren 17 years ago, and in 10 years it has reached 4 services in 4 cities, but now just in additional 7 years we have more than 2,000 members, with more than 700 strong active workers and leaders, now with more than 300 cell groups and cell leaders and with a dozen of none full time Pastors who are doing full time effort to make JIL MVV at work!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; CLEAR: left; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: left; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1em; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; cssFloat: left" href="http://app4.websitetonight.com/designer/Picture2.jpg/Picture2-full;init:.jpg" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We have acquired our first church property in 2004 and just after another 4 years we bought our own Camp site that makes our JIL12 more workable.&lt;br /&gt;This is a big fulfillment in our declaration of “His Kingdom come” and our Canada theme “2008 a Year of Conquest”!&lt;br /&gt;When God blessed us with this Camp site our church has been so excited to spend time in it. So, our leadership decided to schedule all church celebration in the Camp. To make it more proper we, started our prayer dedication with our WIN leaders to do spiritual cleansing and warfare. Then, week end celebration started to bless the Camp site where at least 200 JIL people camps in tents and enjoy the water front where you can hear lots of yeheey and yahoos, hallelujahs and praises almost all days, where sometimes we forgot that we have neighbors who are disturbed by our child like actions. (We do immediate actions to make up for our mistakes).&lt;br /&gt;Every week end we include Water Baptism to the Camp Meetings, where we baptized an average of 16 persons a week since June 15 and it will continue until we close on September 7, 2008, that will be with an approximate number of 180 persons added to lived only for Christ!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; CLEAR: right; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: right; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em; MARGIN-LEFT: 1em; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; cssFloat: right" href="http://app4.websitetonight.com/designer/DSC01007.JPG/DSC01007-full;init:.JPG" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We, were also able to upgrade and do major renovation for the Camp though much is to be done until it become a world class camp site!!!&lt;br /&gt;God is sooooo faithful! He never lack in providing for the need of the Camp site.He keeps on touching pledgers, partners, workers and volunteers to make things easy and possible!&lt;br /&gt;We also experienced act of kindness from the neighbors and even from strangers.&lt;br /&gt;This also cause me and my family to spend time in the Camp site, just to be together while waiting for the week end to come where the multitude of JIL will be enjoying this wonderful blessing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: 1em; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1em; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; cssFloat: " href="http://app4.websitetonight.com/designer/GrabbedFrame1.jpg/GrabbedFrame1-full;init:.jpg" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; CLEAR: right; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: right; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em; MARGIN-LEFT: 1em; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; cssFloat: right" href="http://app4.websitetonight.com/designer/100_0823.JPG/100_0823-full;init:.JPG" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;There was other memorable day, like the visit and blessing of our Regional Pastor, who is also our Director for International Operations, together with JIL Canada Area Pastors. Their presence and words of encouragement inspire all of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; CLEAR: left; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: left; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1em; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; cssFloat: left" href="http://app4.websitetonight.com/designer/100_0818.JPG/100_0818-full;init:.JPG" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The Pastors of other churches &lt;a href="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-2897075330962036639&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;'&gt;(FMF) an association of the Filipino Pastors&lt;/a&gt; visited us also, where they were all amazed on what the Lord has done to JIL churches! All glory to God!&lt;br /&gt;We have remaining 6 more camps in this Camp site this year and we believed many more good things the Lord will be doing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; CLEAR: right; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: right; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em; MARGIN-LEFT: 1em; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; cssFloat: right" href="http://app4.websitetonight.com/designer/100_0835.JPG/100_0835-full;init:.JPG" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Many where, saved here, healed, revitalized, revived and refreshed both physically and spiritually!&lt;br /&gt;We can’t describe it all, but this Camp site brought us true blessing to the more than 2,000 members of JIL. Our partners are now close to 900 as we are praying!!!&lt;br /&gt;We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our Leaders from our Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva for the blessing of approving the purchase of this Camp site and all our Pastors and Directors who affirm their support to this project.&lt;br /&gt;A special thank to all JIL Ontario and Quebec people who responded to the call to give for this once in a life time privilege.Very soon we will be able to set up a multi -purpose hall as well as a multi-purpose sports ground for our next Camp schedules. Landscape will also be placed to make it truly a God honoring place. Where we will love to spend our summer and week end as He allows!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; CLEAR: left; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: left; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1em; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; cssFloat: left" href="http://app4.websitetonight.com/designer/IMG_8138.JPG/IMG_8138-full;init:.JPG" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; CLEAR: right; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: right; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em; MARGIN-LEFT: 1em; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; cssFloat: right" href="http://app4.websitetonight.com/designer/IMG_8115.JPG/IMG_8115-full;init:.JPG" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We covet your continues prayers and partnership to this glorious call to all!&lt;br /&gt;To all my fellow Area Pastors and Leaders, Congratulations!!!

Make yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.&lt;br /&gt;It is very interesting to know that God never give up on us even in His anger due to our sins and disobedience . . .In this record of the great flood that reveals both of God’s hatred of sin and His incomparable compassion to man, we can learn that He wants man to be saved from sin and its punishment.&lt;br /&gt;Things to ponder.&lt;br /&gt;1. God still gives man a chance to mend his ways-The ark was made with rooms.&lt;br /&gt;2. God originally wants just a pair of animals to go in, but when man failed to hear the call of God to come, He made it 7 pair’s for clean animals.&lt;br /&gt;3. God was patient in mans stubbornness.-The ark was built in the period of 120 years-1Pet 3:201 Peter 3:20 (20 who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water,)&lt;br /&gt;4. God will impose His judgment after giving man all the time he has-The door of the Ark was closed by God to protect those who went in from the raging water and as a judgment to the people who refuse to come on the days of grace.&lt;br /&gt;Lessons to consider&lt;br /&gt;Like in the days of Noah, God is now calling every one to repentance and be saved through his Son Jesus Christ, who is a typology of the Ark. Jn 3:16, (16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. )&lt;br /&gt;NIV (Matt 16:16-18. 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.&lt;br /&gt;Like Noah let us not be impatient in winning more souls to the Lord. Let them hear the good news; Jesus Christ came to die to make us lived, lived to make us lived forever more with Him. John 14:1-2&lt;br /&gt;Like the door of the Ark , there is only one way to salvation, to forgiveness, to health, to prosperity, to peace, to everlasting life and to God himself! John 14:6, 1 Tim 2:5. There could be many religious organization. Many charitable institution, But there is only one-way to God and to a God given life!&lt;br /&gt;Many might not like it as men always want an alternative, but as far as eternity is concern, He who holds eternity declared otherwise. One way, one door, one name!&lt;br /&gt;God bless and may we win more souls than we earn dollars that will be spent away!&lt;br /&gt;See you in the harvest. The Ark is ready let it be filled with souls, not animals though they are cute and lovable. God wants souls!&lt;br /&gt;Thank God for many who win souls but still many a dying every seconds without knowing the Way, the truth and the life!&lt;br /&gt;SEVEN (7) BLESSINGS OF DILIGENT PEOPLE&lt;br /&gt;WHO OBEY GOD&lt;br /&gt;Do you want to live a life of blessings? People love to seek blessings and are seeking to be blessed but how to find the real blessings?&lt;br /&gt;Deuteronomy 11:26-28&lt;br /&gt;26 "Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse:&lt;br /&gt;27 the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you today; 28 and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of theLORD your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.&lt;br /&gt;NKJV&lt;br /&gt;Deuteronomy 28:1-8&lt;br /&gt;1And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:&lt;br /&gt;2And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.&lt;br /&gt;3Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.&lt;br /&gt;4Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.&lt;br /&gt;5Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.&lt;br /&gt;6Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.&lt;br /&gt;7The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven&lt;br /&gt;8The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee ways.&lt;br /&gt;INTRODUCTION:&lt;br /&gt;My brothers and sisters, God has established His will for each and every one of us. God is not the author of sickness and disease. God is not the author of broken family. God is not the author of poverty. He is not the author of wars and chaos that’s happening in our lands. He is not the one that inspired the young person to make massacres and inflict harm to other students. God is not the author of insanity.&lt;br /&gt;For this very reason, first and foremost it is against the personality of God to do harm.(Jer 29:11) If we who are unfaithful human being are not thinking evil to our children how much more our God who is faithful in His goodness where no one can fathom, could ever think of doing evil in our life.&lt;br /&gt;But why bad things are happening in our life? "Bakit maraming masasamang bagay ang nagyayari sa atin?" Well, simply because men choose not to obey God.&lt;br /&gt;The bible was given to us by God through about 40-44 writers, in the span of about 1500years, they never talked to each other, but they came about with only one message; that is there is God. There is one and true God, there is God!&lt;br /&gt;The bible is given so that we may know how to obey God. It is not for arguments; it is not for debate, not even to established religion not even to established Christianity. Not for any form of religion, the bible is given so that man can go back to God.&lt;br /&gt;It is the love letter of God for us and the purpose of God is that so that we can live a life of blessing.&lt;br /&gt;I would like to share to you 7 blessing to the obedient, the seven blessings to the diligent.&lt;br /&gt;Diligent person never tarry, never wait as far as obedience is concern, they never rationalize, never justify but immediately obey. And these are the things that will fulfill in you the very desires of your heart.&lt;br /&gt;7 blessing that will come to the diligent person: the blessing to those who obey: It is the very will of the Lord to every one of us!&lt;br /&gt;In Deuteronomy 28: 1"And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:&lt;br /&gt;"It says nations of the earth"-to personalize it, Our Lord will bless you above all families of Toronto, of Brampton, of Mississauga, and you will be bless wherever your city is. And all, not some but all these blessings are in the plural form, shall come upon you and overtake you because you obey the voice of the Lord your God. Blessed shall be in the city, blessed shall you be in the country.&lt;br /&gt;The first thing that the Lord will do upon those people who diligently obey:&lt;br /&gt;1. He will bless your dwelling places.&lt;br /&gt;- In rich country like North America, We always make sure that we live in a place that is safe, neat and secure. That's why many companies make security alarm. The majority of people who live in Canada who owned their house are paying minimum of $25/day just to make there house secure.&lt;br /&gt;But when you obey the Lord your God, you have the invisible security to protect your house, property, everything that you have, why? Because God says if you will obey, I will bless you in the city or the country wherever you will be, God will bless you!&lt;br /&gt;One of the mistake to many of us who came as immigrants here in Canada, is a mistake that we think that Canada will be our source "of blessing " but you know here in Canada, there are many homeless people, there are many broken families, In Canada, it has one of the highest rate of depression. Canada is not the key to be blessed, the key to be blessed is to obey the Lord our God. Therefore wherever you are if you obey the Lord your God, God will bless because the Lord say: "I will bless whatever you bless"&lt;br /&gt;That is why, we who came in Canada, should’nt ever misunderstood it. God made us came to Canada and Canada is not the source of blessing but God is the source of the blessing! It is like your employment, Canada and your employer is just the vessel that is why He is the source! But people take advantage of the freedom we have here in Canada, the divorce, the freedom to do whatever you want, that brings us chaos in life. We thought that when we have a big house we will feel good, happy and feel satisfied, but you will never be satisfied in any material things in this life. the person who earn $7/hr and person who earned 35/hr both cries for more, The Lord wants to blessed us in our dwelling place.&lt;br /&gt;Ezekiel 34:26-27" I will bless them and the places surrounding my hill. I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing. The trees of the field will yield their fruit and the ground will yield its crops; the people will be secure in their land. They will know that I am the Lord, when I break the bars of yoke and rescue them form the hands of those who enslaved them."&lt;br /&gt;The Lord will bring increase wherever we dwell. You pray to God to bless your employer because you know that God is the source of blessing and as God bless your employer, so you will be blessed.&lt;br /&gt;Your employer will be blessed by God as you dwell on that place, everything that is connected to you, will be bless and the blessing comes as you obey.&lt;br /&gt;"Ang pagsunod po sa Diyos ay sinusundan ng pagpapapala. Di po natin hahanapin ang pagpapala "you will never seek blessings because as we obey God, blessing will seek you!"&lt;br /&gt;2. He will bless your children&lt;br /&gt;Deuteronomy 28: 4 "Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body..."&lt;br /&gt;Your children are destined to be blessed! You don't worry about your children you worry how to obey God, God will command blessing to your children, more than you think and worked for. Because God will bless your children, the fruit of your body!. There are parents who do double job so that they can provide everything for their children. but according to study; alcoholic, drug addict comes to family who are able to provide not only what they need but what they want. But if we, parents we obey God, He will bless our children.&lt;br /&gt;If we are diligent to obey God, He will bless our children. Jeremiah says: "therefore, know...that the Lord your God is the faithful God and his covenant and mercy for a thousand generation. Therefore know, kaya alamin ninyo, that the Lord your God is a faithful! But you know what, when you obey the Lord your God, blessing will outlive you. Your children's children will be blessed. You are already 6 feet under but your children still living within the blessings of God Why? Because you gave them to the greatest inheritance! The reason for them being blessed as you obey to the Lord.&lt;br /&gt;Psalm 37:25" I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread."&lt;br /&gt;Tagalog verse: ako"y bata pa, ngayon ako`y matanda na di ko pa nakita na pinagkaloob ng Diyos na ang kanyang mga anak ay mamalimos&lt;br /&gt;"Di pababayan ng Diyos na ang mga anak Nya na mamalimos"&lt;br /&gt;But if you obey it will overtake you."&lt;br /&gt;When we obey God blessings will outlive you.&lt;br /&gt;In same verse. Deuteronomy 28: 4, the fruit of your ground, the product.... look at word of God, God is giving you the food increase. God is giving you the increase. Thank God for your employer, the companies that they give you increase. That is why you support your employer. Ask God to bless your employer.&lt;br /&gt;3. The Lord will bless your property.&lt;br /&gt;... and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep."&lt;br /&gt;The herd, the cattle, everything you own, God will increase it as you obey the Lord your God.&lt;br /&gt;Try to imagine this, after they bought a car...and they took it our from the dealer an accident happen, they will pay the cost of it.&lt;br /&gt;But if you are willing to obey, the Lord your God, you will use its maximum usage, because God says: If you obey me, I will bless everything that you own...Try to imagine the Israelites traveling the Promise land, for about 40 years, what happen to them, they walk with their sandals....but because God is blessing their properties,, while their feet are growing, their sandals grows with them.&lt;br /&gt;kaya tayo dito, whe we open our wardrobe, you will see how many clothes you have owned and used, even you use it many times its still looks brand new. God will bless your property.&lt;br /&gt;Proverbs 10:22 The Lord made one rich and he adds no trouble to it"&lt;br /&gt;"ang Diyos nagpapayaman at di Nya na dinadagdagan ang utang"&lt;br /&gt;The Lord bless and adds no trouble to it, in other translation it adds no sorrow. Many people today, when they buy a house, can't sleep anymore they are thinking of mortgage, but when you obey the Lord, His promise... He adds no sorrow, so you sleep well because God promise He will do. He will bless your property&lt;br /&gt;_____________________&lt;br /&gt;4. The Lord will bless your food.&lt;br /&gt;V.5 blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.&lt;br /&gt;-there are families today who could hardly eat because they thought the food offered to them will give them sickness, but you know, when we live in obedience to the Lord" eat all you can"&lt;br /&gt;The purpose of food of course is to keep us alive. We need to eat because we need to live for God. We don't work to eat; but we work and eat because we live for God.&lt;br /&gt;A warning, an appeal...&lt;br /&gt;On your day off you even go part time, while husband is staying at home, and we wonder why no one is staying in your house, or your children not talking to you. We wonder why your husband. Our greatest investment is not the dollar you earn but the flesh and blood that you own... That is why work only as we can with out neglecting the promise you made in that altar of wedding. Some family rarely sees each other because of their jobs, and when they see they will just say "Hi!"."Bye!" The one say HI! While the other say Bye! Later on if they will not be aware they will both say "bye, bye"&lt;br /&gt;That is why work only if we can but do not neglect the promise when you take an oath.&lt;br /&gt;God wants to bless your food. In our country, The Philippines, Majority are poor people. When we look in the dictionary the definition of poor its says; "that lacks anything" that's poor.&lt;br /&gt;In the Philippines, When you have rice in the table you are already rich. In the Philippines, We eat too much rice, "konting ulam, sangtambak Na rice", but here in Canada, we eat a lot of ulam but konting kanin.&lt;br /&gt;I came ahead of my family here in Canada, there are people who brought me to many restaurants, there are beautiful restaurants and I was there why? Because, you bring me there, and while I am eating, most of the time, my tears are falling in my eyes not because the food is hot but because I think of my family.&lt;br /&gt;The Lord will bless your food because you obey the Lord your God. In other translation, I will bless your food and water and removed sickness and diseases. Many people live in Canada because to have a better place and lots of medical privileges&lt;br /&gt;But you know what? There is a better place to live, that is- the place of obedience to God. you don't need doctors but you will say " O, Jehovah Rapha" my healer, doctors will give you medications for your healing and for survival, how many people today take medications just to stay alive but when you obey the Lord your God you will be bless with a healthy life because the food that you eat will give you health instead of sickness. Praise the Lord. Give God the praise!&lt;br /&gt;In one of the study, one of the many reasons why people are sick is because of the food they ate, but when your obey the Lord your God the food will bring you health... The purpose of God is to give us food for us to be blessed&lt;br /&gt;_______________________&lt;br /&gt;5.) The Lord will bless your travel&lt;br /&gt;V6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.&lt;br /&gt;- when you obey the Lord you will not panic, whatever your transportation is, because when you obey the Lord your God, the people will live to the maximum life the Lord wants them to have.&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;Psalm 121:8"The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore."&lt;br /&gt;He will bless you wherever you travel, The Lord blesses us so much to be in the different cities and countries. but how many times the Lord bless us, though I'm not 100 percent obedient to the Lord but like many I am trying and still keep on trying. It does not matter if you fell once or twice but what matters is you stand up once again.&lt;br /&gt;______________________________&lt;br /&gt;6. The Lord will bless you when you have opposition or enemy&lt;br /&gt;V7T he LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.&lt;br /&gt;- You don't need to ask why, shout or retaliate because when you obey you are being protected by God.&lt;br /&gt;- Ladies and gentleman, your enemy is God's enemy! Because you are on God's side, everyone who is not on God side triggers the anger of God.&lt;br /&gt;Romans 12:1-21; our pastor and those in preaching training for lays pastors program, I asked them to memorize this verse. In&lt;br /&gt;Romans 19 to 21..." Do not take revenge my friend, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: mine to avenge; I will repay." says the Lord. On the contrary:&lt;br /&gt;If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if He is thirsty, give him something to drink, in doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."&lt;br /&gt;Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good."&lt;br /&gt;Psalm 34:17: The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them fro all their troubles.&lt;br /&gt;Many are the affliction of the righteous but the Lord delivers them all. Many people will like us but somebody will still be against us, though no matter how many times you try to be the best to everybody! We can be a friend of someone but not the friend of everyone. But you know if you obey the Lord your God, He will always give you true friends. That's why do not ever think, when someone hates you, do not retaliate and God will be with you. He will deliver you.&lt;br /&gt;God is slow to anger; man is quick to be angry. When the bible say slow. It really means slow but when God is angry. He is angry indeed. The wicked is only for wickedness, that's why you repent so that they will repent. Do not retaliate. It is like watching the boxing game, instead that you will be fighting in the boxing arena, you will just sit down and ring the bell and your enemy and God will fight while you are watching and after all you know who is the winner .God is the one who will fight for you!&lt;br /&gt;The Lord said in Deut. 28:8.The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee ways.&lt;br /&gt;..the Lord will command, what? The blessings on your storehouse:&lt;br /&gt;_______________________________&lt;br /&gt;7. The Lord will bless your Storehouse.&lt;br /&gt;-What is Storehouse? it is like a box that God is not content in giving us treasure in just a box, He want us to give a storehouse. Storehouse is where we can have the abundance and God's blessing.&lt;br /&gt;You don't worry about the supply, for the next harvest will already about to come.&lt;br /&gt;My brother and sister, storehouse is not a saving, storehouse is aplace, its like your credit line.., it's not the money of the bank that's giving you money. We need to pay it, we still have money in the bank, we have the right to use it but you need to pay.&lt;br /&gt;The storehouse is the blessing you have that you will use. Instead of using the credit line you have, you will use your own reserved, your Storehouse, but when you take it out you need to pay it back. It is like paying a visa or credit line, are you with me? Why use visa card when in fact they’re giving you interest from your own money. When we have our own money, when we withdraw it you pay it in your own term. When you have the reserve, you can use and pay it whenever you want. It is a place, where God declares that you will never borrow but you will lend. God wants us to lend not to borrow because we belong to God. God established blessings in his storehouse.&lt;br /&gt;That's why before we were born, the water we drink, already exist. God has reserved! When we need for more people will found a technology to bring it out where people are. Water is not a problem but the problem is how to bring it out. That is why...we still need more wisdom to find God’s reserved!&lt;br /&gt;God has storehouse, Joseph has storehouse, In Genesis chapter 47. You will understand the principle of Joseph storehouse.&lt;br /&gt;Life is a cycle... there is time of abundance and time of want. Time of blessings and times of recession.&lt;br /&gt;Remember this, the principle of Joseph Storehouse. There’s seven years of abundance.&lt;br /&gt;He brought in the storehouse of pharaoh 1/5 of all the harvest. Then seven years of famine comes. Pharaoh became richer during the time of famine.&lt;br /&gt;And from that time to this day, Egyptians are keeping 25 percent to their storehouse because they believed in the principle they learn from Joseph.&lt;br /&gt;"Storehouse", building storehouse is not for you to have more money or treasure but to keep it out from running out of it, in Tagalog: "di ito ang paglalagyan ng pera kundi para di maubusan ng pera."&lt;br /&gt;It is better for us to understand this because God wants to bless our storehouse. Some of us are holding up in giving our tithes and offering though we know it was a command in order to bless us in our storehouse. It's the principle of God, when you give your tithes and offering the bible says will bless your storehouse, He will bless everything that you do, He will bless your food and water and everything in you.&lt;br /&gt;There are several ways to give a blessing materially, but one of them is to give your tithes and offering. 10% of our income. Before the Lord. Whether you like it or not, it is written! If you use that money for your own, you are using what belongs to God. Now it become a curse even you use it for a good purpose. If you can't give it to God. God will curse it. If you buy it for food, the food that you eat will give you sickness and disease. If you send it to someone that is in need, instead of becoming a blessing, it will cause trouble to them.&lt;br /&gt;Malachi chapter 1&lt;br /&gt;"I will curse your blessing because you did not put into hearts to obey the Lord your God.&lt;br /&gt;That is why don't attempt not to give your 10%, no matter how hard life to is. Because it is for the Lord, when you give your tithes and offering, the Lord will bless your storehouse, you will never run out of blessings!&lt;br /&gt;You cannot out give God, We can testify that even before I become a Pastor, we were giving our tithes and offering, my parents sometimes thought we are enriching the church but we are not, we are enriching ourselves, even our children, the youngest one -Elijamin, have record in our church book in giving his tithes and offering. You know why"? We want them to be blessed. We want them to be a blessing and live in abundance. I only live once and I have all the opportunity to be blessed.&lt;br /&gt;we have all the reason to be blessed! Give your best to God to give you tithes and offering, build your storehouse and say to God, now Lord I obey your word. Now, watch your storehouse; The Lord says I will bless your storehouse. He did not say I might but the bible says I will bless; "I will" it's like an oath and lives a life of blessings.&lt;br /&gt;Try to imagine this how many unused things are there in the house. When we go to Wal-Mart, we buy things, that some of them we don’t even need. Like, how many shoes are there in our house, we forgot that we have only two feet.&lt;br /&gt;But you know when you build your storehouse, you will be careful in buying things, only the one you need. Not the bargain! So, the Lord will bless you more.&lt;br /&gt;Obey and you will see, David has storehouse, it was given to Solomon, Solomon is already rich because, of His father. That’s why he don’t asked for riches.&lt;br /&gt;How about you? What is our inheritance to our children, our faith? but if you build you storehouse, you will leave them a good inheritance. When they grow old and seek employment and is not able to get the job they want, will just say "it okay", my parents leave me a good inheritance, I will use it to start a good business.&lt;br /&gt;My friends, its not yet too late, your insurance will not be enough for them, to that's why start building your storehouse.&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;3 major things to watch in obedience:&lt;br /&gt;1. Your relationship to God, in everything you do,&lt;br /&gt;Do everything in accordance to God's will.&lt;br /&gt;Our Love for God should not be an arguments in the house, fathers, listen to this; we should not have any argument with our children, spouse if its about obeying God. If it is like going in church, do not argue in going to church, Its not about who is preacher but because you Love the Lord your God. Come here not because of the Pastor but come because of God. Love God!&lt;br /&gt;2. In relation to your self and fellowmen&lt;br /&gt;Husband love your wife, wife submit to your husband.&lt;br /&gt;God took out the ribs on side of man, so that the woman will not be a slave in the house, they are not for cooking or cleaning the house. God did not took the woman near the head of the man, so that the women will not compete or think that she will lead the family, but the bone was taken out near the heart so that the woman is to be loved, and the husband recognizes her. Children obey your parents. Love them because it is the commands of God so that you will livelong. Those who honor their parents will be rewarded a long life!&lt;br /&gt;3. in relationship to material things&lt;br /&gt;- Watch out how you spend your money. In our family, we try to give our best of the material things they need, but we never compromise in not giving our tithes and offering. Because God gives us the power to gain wealth, it's not your power but its God's power.&lt;br /&gt;Wait upon the Lord, and obey.&lt;br /&gt;Give your tithes and offering and God will rebuke the devourer in your house!&lt;br /&gt;I came from a poor family, a broken family but when I became a born again I thank God for giving me life and lead me to heaven but told him Lord bless me so that I can bring heaven here on earth. Heaven is a life of abundance. If you don't know how to live in abundance you will just be a stranger in heaven. If spend your life here on earth in blessings, you will spend your life of blessing in heaven. Make sure you take heaven here on earth. Glory to God!&lt;br /&gt;In conclusion, in order for you to be diligent in obeying God, you need to have discipline, patience and wisdom. Discipline because. It requires discipline in knowing the ways of God, patience and wisdom when in times of difficulties but when you obey God, the Lord will be blessed!&lt;br /&gt;To God be all the glory!&lt;br /&gt;In His Majesty`s&lt;br /&gt;Exclusive Use,&lt;br /&gt;Ptr.Bong Gonzales&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jilontario.com-a.googlepages.com/praisereports"&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;back to top&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHY ARE WE BLESSED?&lt;br /&gt;Many people wonder why Christians are being blessed even in the midst of barrenness?We are BLESSED because;B- beloved of God-who ever He loves he blessedL- Law of grace - He who lived by His grace abound in the fruits of His graceE- Everyday is the day that the Lord has made. - There’s no day for satan. - Ps 118:24S- Source of-Phil 4:19S- supply - Its not based on your income, nor employment but from where every blessing comes!

For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”Luke 6:38&lt;br /&gt;A preacher said that in giving "Many are willing but not able, while many are able but not willing".&lt;br /&gt;Though in the Scripture it has been written so many times that to give is more blessed than to received.(Acts 20:35)&lt;br /&gt;Four reasons why we should enjoy giving:&lt;br /&gt;1. God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7&lt;br /&gt;-If we love God we should love doing the things that will make Him loved us. One of them is giving!&lt;br /&gt;2. Giving is the best way of receiving. Luke 6:38&lt;br /&gt;- - -Laws in giving:&lt;br /&gt;a) What we give, we will also received.&lt;br /&gt;b) We will received more than what we give.&lt;br /&gt;c) The least we can receive is what we give.&lt;br /&gt;3. Giving can be done in many ways.&lt;br /&gt;a) Give yourself a rest - by forgiving those who offended and wronged us.&lt;br /&gt;b) Give time to your love one's, especially during work day off and spend a quality time with our growing children and family members.&lt;br /&gt;c) Give your talent in service to God by involving and volunteering in church activities as well as in our community. Any way, life is still worth investing in the building of God's Kingdom. Mark 8:36&lt;br /&gt;d) Giving our tithes and offering. Mal 3:10-11. God is really a giving God! Try to visualize yourself receiving a 100% blessing, then as an act of obedience and faith with gratitude you will give 10% from it plus a free will offering. In doing so, you are entering a Covenant with God to be blessed by Him and be a blessing to others!&lt;br /&gt;This is a very exciting privilege for every one who wants live in the midst of His blessing!&lt;br /&gt;e) Giving to the poor and the needy- God allows a need to someone which is an overflow to another so that we can be His hand to others. It can also be an opportunity to someone who wants to receive more as we become an extension of God's hand to others who are in legitimate needs!&lt;br /&gt;We should be reminded also that no matter what we gain in this life, we will all leave them some where and to some one. We can only be satisfied as we practice the privilege of giving when the opportunity comes.&lt;br /&gt;Lets us look for the opportunity and give liberally as the Lord enables and blesses us!&lt;br /&gt;God bless and let us enjoy giving!&lt;br /&gt;In His Majesty's&lt;br /&gt;Exclusive use,&lt;br /&gt;Ptr.

It is the act of conquering a country or a group of people; to take over, an invasion. God calls every believer to participate in the conquest.&lt;br /&gt;The JIL Church Milan held its 16th anniversary last March 30, 2008 with its theme, “Conquest Towards God’s Abounding Promises”. The temple was filled by more than 1,500 worshippers of Jesus Christ. Brethren from JIL Cuneo, Monza, Padova, Milano 3, Brescia, Torino, Norway and from other Body of Christ joined together in one accord; to praise the Lord and to receive the conquering spirit that God has to anoint every one that day. Our Consul General, Pedro Chan also came to join us. He was thankful and enthusiastic indeed for our program as a non-sectarian church and he encouraged us to continue giving emphasis on the youth affair. He believes that the young people will be the next Joshua generation and they must be molded, trained and fully equipped before participating in an act of conquest.&lt;br /&gt;It was an anointed celebration! The presence of God has been with us as and we felt the smooth flow of the program from the prelude up to the closing prayer. We watched in awe the musical drama which gave emphasis of God’s call to conquest. The props made us feel as if we were really spectator in the invasion that was going on in the desert. Thanks God for the artistic talent and for the wonderful hands who prepared our props!&lt;br /&gt;The core of the occasion was the sharing of the Word of God. Rev. Ptr. Bong Gonzales our guest speaker from JIL Canada boldly shared on the topic, “The Call to Conquest”.&lt;br /&gt;The preaching was based on the Book of Joshua 1:3-5 which says, “I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. Your territories will extend from the desert of Lebanon and from the great river, the Euphrates-all the Hittite country-to the Great Sea on the west. No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.”&lt;br /&gt;Ptr. Bong cited Joshua as the model conqueror. He possessed the dynamics that we have to adopt to be called mighty warriors and conquerors of God. He began, “We have to have the dynamics of faith that work. The mighty men of God should have the knowledge of His will and plan in their lives (Jos. 1:1-9), should rehearse to the people those plan and promises He has in store for them and should exercise the gift of vision (Joshua 2:24).&lt;br /&gt;Dynamics of knowing the target. Conquerors should know their targets (Jos. 1:2-4). They should have the specific aim (John 16:23) and be guided with their specific goal for the time being. Of course they must have the time-table (Jos.6: 1-4) within their reach. The dynamics of having the strategy on the other hand deals with the inward and outward preparations of a conqueror. Inwardly speaking, one must be strong, courageous, obedient, meditates the word day and night and must have a consecrated life (Jos. 3:5). On the other side, outward preparations deal with the visual mapping of what to conquer, choosing the right contact person who will give information about the territory, spreading the good testimonies gathered and organizing a team to work out for the target. And the most important of all is discerning the spiritual impact that the conquest will bring about.&lt;br /&gt;Dynamics of being lead by God. (Jos. 5:1-15) It is also of crucial for us to understand why we’re called, trained, led and being trained. Its God’s purpose in our lives. Each of us are called to conquer our character, our relationship with other people and our faith. This is essential before we press on conquering other territories.”&lt;br /&gt;This year is considered the “Year of Conquest”. Its high time for us to live in a spirit-filled life to be qualified conquerors of God and to respond to His call to conquest. Remember, that everyone who heed His calling will receive an inheritance from Him (Jos. 11-17, 18:2-3). Do you want to have a fruitful and meaningful life? Are you willing to respond to His calling? Then, be a conqueror and let God’s abounding promises manifest in your life!&lt;br /&gt;Story by: Sis.

NICANOR GONZALES TOWARDS MINISTERING TEAM)&lt;br /&gt;Mark 3:13-15- Records how the Lord Jesus equipped and commission His disciples to preach the gospel, heal the sick and cast out demons. A reality that&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1em; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1em; cssFloat: " href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_7NIbfJ_pAe0/R9bbCTXKqCI/AAAAAAAAAA0/AVdOQToGKvQ/s1600-h/Picture+025.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;other Christians overlooked. Some of us just preach the word, but the word of God declared that the other two goes with it, even in the sign to those who believed Jesus said in Mark 16:15-18.&lt;br /&gt;How can we minister healing and Deliverance (outline from A3 Ministers Refreshing by Ptr. Bong G)&lt;br /&gt;1. A minister must go through a series of Prayer and Fasting - Mk 9:29.&lt;br /&gt;2. Must meditate and read biblical events on healings and deliverance. (ei. Mark record)&lt;br /&gt;3. Must read and hear testimonies of those present ministers who flow in this anointing. ex. Benny Hinn, Kathyn Kulman book -I believe in miracles.- These are for the purpose of building Faith inside the hearts of the ministers.&lt;br /&gt;4. Must create an atmosphere of worship and intercession - "Worship invites Gods presence, Prayer invokes Gods power to work"-bmg5&lt;br /&gt;. Must be baptized and recipient of the gifts of the Holy Spirit particularly Healings, Faith, Miracle working as we use the name of Jesus - 1 Cor 12: 4-11&lt;br /&gt;6.Must quote healing verses.&lt;br /&gt;7. Observe whom God is touching and avoid interfering with Him. 1 Thes 5:19&lt;br /&gt;8. When needed: - must know how to use binding and loosing and the prayer of agreement.- must not interview the demons but cast them out- We must set the captive free is the objective.- must invoke the word of God, the blood of Jesus and the power of the cross of Christ.- must call the person minister and require them to ask Forgiveness by naming their sins one by one in a prayer of repentance, then release to the person Jesus blood to forgive..&lt;br /&gt;9. Ask the person to verify the healing before testifying&lt;br /&gt;10. Give God the glory- he alone brings the healing as he alone saves.&lt;br /&gt;Remember, the church is called not just to preach but to heal the sick and to set the captives free!So I encourage you to preach, heal and set the captives free in the Name of JESUS for His glory.&lt;br /&gt;-In His majesty's Exclusive use,&lt;br /&gt;REV.

Whether we are in Christ or not, life is not life without challenges. But being in Christ give us an advantage when going gets tough! Why? Because;&lt;br /&gt;1. We are never alone facing life difficulties and challenges. He is there- Is 43:1-3&lt;br /&gt;2. He will control the damage if theres any - ! Cor 10:13&lt;br /&gt;3. He has given us a sense of peace inspite of the situation - Phil 4:6-8&lt;br /&gt;4. He suffered to make us blessed and live about the storm. Jn 10:10b Remember this:God is greater than the totallity of problem in this world. And even if you are in the worst situation in life, If you are in Christ you are at peace in His hand. For happiness is not in having our prayer answered, neither our dream comes true, but by living with him all the way of this life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jilontario.com-a.googlepages.com/praisereports"&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;back to top&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5368657743875855530-5021516737475069823?l=bonggonzales.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5368657743875855530/posts/default/5021516737475069823'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5368657743875855530/posts/default/5021516737475069823'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bonggonzales.blogspot.com/2008/08/jil-worshipping-church-worship-our.html' title=''/><author><name>jil12testimonies</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368657743875855530.post-297107268774038589</id><published>2008-08-14T13:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-15T11:27:09.163-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;Gods Kingdom Come!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Luke 12:32-34&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;32 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.&lt;br /&gt;NIV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Kingdom according to the Thesaurus is synonyms to realm, empire, monarchy, sovereignty and territory.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;This all speaks of the rule of one!&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, when we speak of God’s Kingdom Dominion, we are talking about Gods rule here on earth in all dimensions and sphere.&lt;br /&gt;But how can it be realized? Will Gods rule make life and things better? Or it will be another form of slavery and difficulty in life?&lt;br /&gt;Well, to answer this question, we must refer to where the idea of Gods Kingdom Come came from. The Bible!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Description of Gods Kingdom:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;1. A place of freedom from sin and satans work –that means no more war in any form. No death no sickness and diseases. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Luke 11:20-22&lt;br /&gt;20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.&lt;br /&gt;21 "When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. 22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up the spoils.&lt;br /&gt;NIV&lt;br /&gt;2 . A place of prosperity and sufficiency-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;John 14:1-4&lt;br /&gt;1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going."&lt;br /&gt;NIV&lt;br /&gt;3. A place of peace, love and harmony -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;John 14:27&lt;br /&gt;7 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. NIV&lt;br /&gt;Rev 21:1-5 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."&lt;br /&gt;5 He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."&lt;br /&gt;NIV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Many biblical study shows that the Kingdom of God comes in 3 realizations;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;1. Spiritual realization- which is received by the person who entrust their lives to God through His son Jesus Christ.- John 1:10-13 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God- 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.&lt;br /&gt;NIV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;2. Literal realization- which is the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to establish His millennial Kingdom here on earth based in Jerusalem- Rev 21:1-5&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;3. Physical realization- which refers to the status of life of all who has been privilege to experience heaven here on earth. A Kingdom mindset that makes God’s Kingdom a physical manifestation and advancing His Kingdom until He comes!&lt;br /&gt;Matt 6:9-13&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9 "This, then, is how you should pray:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"'Our Father in heaven,&lt;br /&gt;hallowed be your name,&lt;br /&gt;10 your kingdom come,&lt;br /&gt;your will be done&lt;br /&gt;on earth as it is in heaven.&lt;br /&gt;11 Give us today our daily bread.&lt;br /&gt;12 Forgive us our debts,&lt;br /&gt;as we also have forgiven our debtors.&lt;br /&gt;13 And lead us not into temptation,&lt;br /&gt;but deliver us from the evil one.&lt;br /&gt;NIV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Today we are looking and believing in the manifestation of Gods Kingdom in our generation.&lt;br /&gt;Where those who believe in Him will enjoy;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;A. Abundance of His provision&lt;br /&gt;1. Long satisfied life&lt;br /&gt;2. Health&lt;br /&gt;3. Peace&lt;br /&gt;4. Joy&lt;br /&gt;5. Prosperity&lt;br /&gt;6. Presence of God&lt;br /&gt;7. Righteousness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Therefore, Gods Kingdom is far better than any kingdom this world could ever experience!&lt;br /&gt;Lets all pray for His Kingdom to come upon our lives and upon this world!!!&lt;br /&gt;Let Gods Kingdom takeover your life by inviting His Son Jesus to your heart, making Him your Lord and Savior!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;The Kingdom of this world will be the Kingdom of our Lord!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Ptr.

So, our leadership decided to schedule all church celebration in the Camp. To make it more proper we, started our prayer dedication with our WIN leaders to do spiritual cleansing and warfare. Then, week end celebration started to bless the Camp site where at least 200 JIL people camps in tents and enjoy the water front where you can hear lots of yeheey and yahoos, hallelujahs and praises almost all days, where sometimes we forgot that we have neighbors who are disturbed by our child like actions. (We do immediate actions to make up for our mistakes).&lt;/o&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Every week end we include Water Baptism to the Camp Meetings, where we baptized an average of 16 persons a week since June 15 and it will continue until we close on September 7, 2008, that will be with an approximate number of 180 persons added to lived only for Christ!!!&lt;/o&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; CLEAR: right; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: right; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em; MARGIN-LEFT: 1em; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; cssFloat: right" href="http://www.blogger.com/DSC01007.JPG/DSC01007-full;init:.JPG" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; cssFloat: " tabindex="0" src="http://www.blogger.com/DSC01007.JPG/DSC01007-medium;init:.jpg" closure="" hashcode="" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;We, were also able to upgrade and do major renovation for the Camp though much is to be done until it become a world class camp site!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%;font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';" &gt;God is sooooo faithful!

Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is very interesting to know that God never give up on us even in His anger due to our sins and disobedience. . .In this record of the great flood that reveals both of God’s hatred of sin and His incomparable compassion to man, we can learn that He wants man to be saved from sin and its punishment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Things to ponder&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;1. God still gives man a chance to mend his ways-The ark was made with rooms.&lt;br /&gt;2. God originally wants just a pair of animals to go in, but when man failed to hear the call of God to come, He made it 7 pair’s for clean animals.&lt;br /&gt;3. God was patient in mans stubbornness.-The ark was built in the period of 120 years-&lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1Pet%203:20%20;&amp;version=49;"&gt;1Pet 3:20 &lt;/a&gt;(20 who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water,)&lt;br /&gt;4. God will impose His judgment after giving man all the time he has-The door of the Ark was closed by God to protect those who went in from the raging water and as a judgment to the people who refuse to come on the days of grace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lessons to consider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like in the days of Noah, God is now calling every one to repentance and be saved through his Son Jesus Christ, who is a typology of the Ark. &lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jn%203:16,;&amp;version=49;"&gt;Jn 3:16,&lt;/a&gt; (16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NIV (&lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt%2016:16-18;&amp;version=31;"&gt;Matt 16:16-18&lt;/a&gt;. 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.&lt;br /&gt;Like Noah let us not be impatient in winning more souls to the lord. Let them hear the good news; Jesus Christ came to die to make us lived, lived to make us lived forever more with Him. &lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jn%2014:1-2;&amp;version=31;"&gt;Jn 14:1-2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like the door of the Ark , there is only one way to salvation, to forgiveness, to health, to prosperity, to peace, to everlasting life and to God himself! &lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jn%2014:6;&amp;version=31;"&gt;Jn 14:6&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Tim%202:5;&amp;version=31;"&gt;1 Tim 2:5.&lt;/a&gt; There could be many religious organization. Many charitable institution, But there is only one way to God and to a God given life!&lt;br /&gt;Many might not like it as men always want an alternative, but as far as eternity is concern, He who holds eternity declared otherwise. One way, one door, one name!&lt;br /&gt;God bless and may we win more souls than we earn dollars that will be spent away!&lt;br /&gt;See you in the harvest.
