THE SOURCE OF PASSION

THE SOURCE OF PASSION

Colossians 3:23-24 “V23 – And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men. V24 – knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance, for you serve the Lord Christ

What is Passion? When a writer is driven by inspire thought, he stops for no one and nothing. He eats and sleeps and breaths the words in his head: That is Passion! Passion – Motivating factor to do anything for someone - having the right connection.

When an artist is struck by a an image, he sets down his palette, takes out his brushes and paints on his canvas. He does not care if he is alone in a wide, open field. He does not mind if he looks ridiculous: That is Passion!

Colossians 3:23-24 “V23 – And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men. V24 – knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance, for you serve the Lord Christ

“...whatever” Everything we do in life should be done heartily as if we are doing it for the Lord.

“...do it heartily” You do – teaching, running, parenting, plumbing, etc. – we should do it heartily. “Do it with all our hearts!”

“...as to the Lord and not to men!” The passion we put into any project and activity in life is a good reflection of how we esteem the “ONE” for whom we work!

“...for you serve the Lord Christ.” THE SOURCE OF PASSION!

Discover the passion that is already within & build on it – fan the flame and make it alive (2 Tim. 1:6).

People are trying to find reasons to get excited about life today. For Christians we can live with a genuine passion everyday. Let’s apply Colossians 3:23-24 in our lives and it will change the world and your world as well. Christ is our Leader, Head and Power Source. Make sure we are in right connection with Him.

Love for God does not call for a small of us. It does not ask for half of us. It demands all of us!

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength (Deuteronomy 6:5)

What is your Passion?

Lord God in heaven - rekindle our passion unto YOU that we will love YOU with everything that is in us through out the days of our existence...In Jesus' name...Amen!

~Good Friday Service~

It was really good ... Good Friday Service / April. 10. We atended two (2) services, [JIL Wpg and Filipino Inter-Church Fellowship (FICF)].

JIL Wpg Good Friday Service:

The eight (8) CYN Cell Leaders exhorted the Seven (7) Sayings of Jesus on the Cross. Our CYN made another mark / milestone on their service unto the Lord. As they answer the call of God - they are making a difference ... giving impact to the next generation as they are doing exploits today - in preparation for tomorrow. During their prime years, no one can stop them in fulfilling the mandate of God in their lives and that is ... to serve God and the nations of the world! To the parents ... Congratulations ... you taught / raise them well! Thank you very much for your unceasing support and prayers - you are leaving a legacy that will be remembered by all generations!

~The Filipino Inter-Church Fellowship~

There were sixteen (16) Participating Churches supported the event: "Good Friday Service!" It was an annual event - the number of churches and the attendance every year increases. Approximately a thousand or more attended the event at Calvary Temple Church. God is being honoured by the unity of the leaders / pastors / churches... God's presence was in action as we lifted up HIS name - in one voice - with the desire of having the favourable audience of ONE - the LORD JESUS CHRIST!

To all the pastors / leaders with all sincerity ... thank you very much for allowing me to share the WORD of God yesterday ... your prayers, support and encouragement - it is always in my heart - 'till next year!

~Because of HIm ... I can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens me ... it was a new experience ... preaching in front of different churches ... it was awesome~

~I'm Home ... Back to Winnipeg~

Left Arizona, USA, yesterday afternoon. Thanks to Bro. Sam & Sis. Mel de Asis for accommodating us - at their beautiful home with a 7 star or more ... kind of accommodation. Driving / touring us around the city - showing us the state of Arizona with the leaders together with their family. Not to forget - the generosity of Bro. Jerry and Sis. Hyasmin for allowing us to use their shop for our nightly sessions. So as the CMT members, for their passion in serving God and the people - it was very inspiring / encouraging to see them serving the Lord with an intention of giving the best for HIS glory.

Arizona (AZ) is for JESUS ... the Alpha and the Omega ... A to Z! The beginning and the end - HE IS GOD!

On this Mission Trip to JIL Arizona - it increases my understanding of "Who Is God" and "Who m I To HIM!" How HE intervenes in every situation 'till the end - yes I know, I am / we are in partnership with the Sovereign God - who is abundantly able to perform supernatural act on behalf of HIS people and I'm one of them!

Arrived Winnipeg on time ... from Phoenix Airport to Calgary, waited less than 3 hours for my next flight to Winnipeg. I'm still adjusting from hot to cold temperature ... Praise the Lord - for allowing me to experience different weather!

Again, maraming salamat ...thank you very much - to my leaders / pastors ... of the trust and to all who did pray for us. To JIL Wpg 1, Wpg 2, Wpg SE, Regina and Saskatoon leadership and congregations - thank you for all your prayers.

~...'till next time ... talk to you soon ... with God's blessings to all...~

~Mission Trip to JIL Arizona Updates~

Praise the Lord! The School of JIL 12 Vision has been successfully done in JIL Arizona, USA. The eight (8) leaders are excited and preparing themselves for the Encounter Retreat. Giving them the overview of JIL 12 Vision - inspire them the more to do the work of the Lord ... becoming more enthusiastic and visionary ... with the vision for the multitudes.

JILC vision made us realize that we are very unique: Our Preferred Future State:“A GLORIOUS CHURCH evangelizing and discipling Filipinos, and all peoples of the world through teaching and preaching the full Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Wherever we are - whom are we encountering with - it is an opportunity to tell people of God's love... to bring them to the kingdom of the Living God... for them to experience the saving, healing, delivering knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ! I am one of the privilege servant of the most High God to minister to our brethren in JIL Arizona - our wonderful, and loving family in the Sun City of Arizona.

Again ... thank you very much! Let the fire keep burning - Shine on for the MASTER! DREAM and let your dream come true ... Dream big and Win the World for JESUS!
