We are the Reason 

(by Avalon)

As little children we would dream of Christmas morn Of all the gifts and toys we knew we'd find But we never realized a baby born one blessed night Gave us the greatest gift of our lives We were the reason that He gave His life We were the reason that He suffered and died To a world that was lost, He gave all He could give To show us the reason to live As the years went by we learned more about gifts The giving of ourselves and what that means On a dark and cloudy day, a man hung crying in the rain All because of love, all because of love Oh and we were the reason that He gave His life We were the reason that He suffered and died To a world that was lost, He gave all He could give To show us the reason to live I've finally found the reason for living It's in giving every part of my heart to Him In all that I do, every word that I say I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him And we are the reason that He gave His life We are the reason that He suffered and died To a world that was lost, He gave all He could give To show us the reason to live He is our reason to live Don't You know that you are the reason That He came oh, He came to save us When He gave His life for us, He suffered and died To a world that was lost He gave Everything that He had He gave (everything) To show us the reason to live Don't you know that you are the reason That He came oh He came to save us (He gave his life) When He gave His life for us, He suffered and died to a world that was lost He gave Everything that He had He gave To show us the reason to live Don't you know that you are the reason That He came oh He came to save us (He gave his life) When He gave His life for us, He suffered and died For a world that was lost He gave Everything that He had He gave To show us the reason to live

My First Foreign Student To Believe in Jesus!

On my way back home today, I was praying to God about my dad back in the Philippines who is sick. My heart was a bit heavy of such thought until I remember my Grade 1 student earlier who received Jesus! I believe that countless angels are celebrating in heaven when the child confessed her belief in Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. 

The little girl's name is Ipha. It happened when we were doing their arts and crafts class and she was sitting beside me. She was telling me stories about things until I had the chance to ask her, "do you know Jesus" and she replied, "what is that?". Obviously, the child has no idea at all, she is part of the unreached. Then I explained about Jesus being God who became man but still fully God, who made a way for us to enter heaven, that without Him, it is impossible for us to get to heaven. Then she asked, "what is heaven?" and so I continued explaining that heaven is a beautiful place which I cannot really explain but what I know is that it is a place of no suffering at all. Then I told her we all can go to heaven but we need to believe in Jesus, that He is God and our Savior, and while I was not yet finished speaking, she shouted, "I believe!!!". I suddenly remember the EE Taow movie when the Mouk Tribe shouted it too, "I believe!", ("Ee Taow"). And my heart got warm and secretly rejoicing.. Wow, the first child believer in the school where I am teaching. Suddenly it came to me, I am living my purpose in the school.

Let us continue to pray for Ipha and the rest of our students here in Phnom Penh. Trusting the Lord will cultivate the seed that has been sown in her heart and make her live a life that blooms with the Spiritual fruits that please the Lord. Glory to the Lord Jesus always.

Blessed Time in Chiang Mai Thailand for the nth Time

 It is always a blessing to be in Thailand and for the third time, the Lord gave me the chance to visit Chiang Mai again. By God's grace, I served my sisters in Christ from Legazpi city for their exposure trip and we are grateful for the divine connection with our spiritual family in Thailand. The trip's highlight was the visit to the Karen tribe in northern Thailand. Our sisters were given the chance to introduce Jesus to the tribe, as majority of them if not, all of them have never heard of the name Jesus before. What a blessing! May the Lord continue to open doors and at the same time give us the willing hearts to obey. May we not be discouraged of the persecutions nor the hardship that go along with our desire to preach Jesus especially to the unreached. Glory to the Triune God always.

[We also thank the KOOSJ from Hawaii for the financial support in this mission exposure trip, may the Lord bless you all a thousandfold]

You are a Cat Trapped in a Tree

 

You are a cat trapped in a tree.

You may find yourself being so afraid because of the height. You may feel helpless because you feel alone. You may lose all the strength to find your way back to the ground. But you got to realize that at times, God brings you into a place for a purpose. Some of these are:

1. To let you feel that you are left with no option but to trust in Him. That way you grow in faith more. Realize that it has always been you and God who will make the best team in the many tasks assigned to you.

2. To open your eyes into new perspectives, this time into a new height. Look around and see.

3. To make impact to the ones who see you in that crucial state, moving their hearts to join you in obeying and trusting the Lord no matter the risks.

4.  To gain strength and wisdom that you need even though you may say that you have a foot in the grave.

5. To understand that with your strength and mind alone, you cannot make it. But with God, all things are possible when you do things according to His will.

6. To let you understand that your "cat attitude" has to be toned down. Immaturity will not help. You got to humble down and see that you are not the center of it all but God.

So go ahead, enjoy the view, trust, and humble down to the One who knows the way for you. Help will soon come and you will see, that God is good!

Today, I woke up hearing the cry of the street cat I have been feeding for the past weeks. I just met him face to face last night and this happened (I have been feeding this mystery cat by just leaving the food at night for the past weeks- see the story here). I am so anxious about his safety. But I trust the Lord will take care of His creatures. I pray that rescue will come. If only I can climb that tree myself.. But again, I trust the Lord sees the cat and He shows a way..

Pangarap Kong Magtayo ng Animal Shelter Para sa mga Katulad Nya 🥺😟

Ilang araw kong napapansin na nakatumba palagi ang basurahan tuwing umaga, giving a hint na may pusang gala na nangangalakal sa gabi. So sinubukan kong mag iwan ng pagkain isang gabi. True enough, na consume naman that night ung pagkain at hndi na nakatumba ang basurahan. I did it for a couple of nights and it has become a habit. Isang gabi na curious ako tungkol sa mystery cat at inabangan ko sya. Sobrang saya nung na timingan ko sya! At first intimidated sya at bakas sa mukha nya ang trauma marahil sa kamay ng mga taong galit sa kagaya nya. Paunti unti, napaunlakan naman nya ang alok kong pagkain. A little later I felt his gesture of gratefulness by rubbing his head to the wall and to me and then showing his belly too. Gusto sana nya pumasok sa kwarto kaso hindi pwede. I'm just staying temporarily dito sa Bible school. For now, this is how I can help "xander". Kamuka nya ung dating kong ampon na street cat kaya ayun din ang pinangalan ko. Sana bukas makita ko ulit si Xander ☺️

Romans 5 | The True Gospel of Christ

Romans 2 | The Purpose of the Law for Jews and Gentiles | God's Righteousness and Holiness

God’s Righteous Judgment

2 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? 5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. 6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”[a] 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. 9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 11 For God does not show favoritism. 12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares. The Jews and the Law 17 Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God; 18 if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; 19 if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— 21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? 22 You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? 24 As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”[b] 25 Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised. 26 So then, if those who are not circumcised keep the law’s requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised? 27 The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the[c] written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker. 28 A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. 29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.

Something in Your Eyes I see... | One Thing I Know | Selah | Cover

God will take away your pain if you choose to let it go... full video: https://youtu.be/iXtFhbPU-qg Blog: http://www.lanilaneocbina.online/ FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/ChibiLanilane youtube: https://www.youtube.com/LanilaneOcbina Instagram & Tiktok: lanilaneocbina

One Thing I know 

by Selah

 Something in your eyes, I see

Reminds me of what used to be
When I was still uncertain of the truth
Sleepless nights that turned to days
Alone inside an endless space
Counting on someone to see me through

And if there's one thing I know
You were never left alone
'Cause you can always call on Jesus' name
And if there's one thing I pray
Is Jesus helps you find a way
To make a change and listen to your heart
God will take away your pain
If you choose to let it go
If there's one thing I know

How can I convince your heart
His light can find you in the dark
And only He can make your blind eyes see?
For if we speak of lost things found
Or lives that have been turned around
Then tell me who knows better, child, than me?

If there's one thing I know
You were never left alone
'Cause you can always call on Jesus' name
And if there's one thing I pray
Is Jesus helps you find a way
To make a change and listen to your heart, ooh
God will take away your pain
If you'll choose to let it go
If there's one thing I know

I would never stake my life on any lesser thing
Than the Cross of Christ, where He gave His life
To ease my suffering

Apart From Him I am Nothing

As a Christian, who is still imperfect and is still under the sanctifying grace of Christ, I am trying my very best to live a Biblical life, as a response to the saving grace and love of our Lord and Savior who is alive in us. My theology (understanding of God) is not based on my own prerogatives nor limited research nor support for the arrogance of some but on the FAITH that God has set in me, which He has purposed to grow and produce fruits. Such faith is rooted from the Scriptures (Canon), carefully read and exegeted. And I believe in God's purpose for us to sow good seeds out of such exegeses that are not watered with arrogance nor pride nor self-righteousness nor any corruption, but with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control. 

Even if the time comes that I will be the most eloquent or seemingly wisest and most educated (tho I know that's super far from happening), but then I don't have love, I am nothing. It just doesn't make any sense claiming that I am a Christian yet not trying to live out the values demonstrated in the humanity and deity of Christ. 

Subjectively, calling myself a Christian is an overstatement because I have a lot of imperfections and so to be called so will seem unjust. But I thank the Lord Jesus because it's not myself who makes me pure, clean, and deserving to be called a Christian but Christ Himself by carrying my sins on that Cross, making me a new creation.

I am a believer, a Christian, who desires to be sanctified by God day by day for apart from Him, I am nothing. Nonetheless, I am a Christian who goes through a noisy world, full of corrupted philosophies and theologies. Good thing we have God, our Father, who is just waiting for us to finally ask for the resolution needed, in His name.

And so we ask the Lord to give us strength and wisdom to be able to defy the toxicity of false faith in this corrupted world. In Jesus' name, amen..

We can never outgive what Jesus has done on the cross for us,

but we give anyway because we love Him.

Always remember that He does not look at how much you give,

because He looks directly into your heart.

You can be generous today because our Father in heaven is.

The Cross is the ultimate symbol of great generosity.

Jesus paid it all for us. 

Now is the time to pay it forward

by telling the world about His greatness.

"SA'YO"

Oh Diyos sayong lahat ang pagsamba't luwalhati

Maging ang pinakamainam kong awit ay aawitin sayo

Oh Diyos ang aking isipan ay pagharian mo

At sa'king puso ay hindi na maglaho

Tanging pag-ibig Sa'yo

Ano pa ba ang maihahandog ko

Liban sa buhay kong nanggaling Sa'yo

Kung anuman sa sandaling ito'y tangan

At mga bagay na tinuring kong yaman

Ito'y hindi pa rin sapat

Sa alay na nararapat

Sa'yo

Khmer Rouge | Genocide in Cambodia | Genocide Museum Phnom Penh | Intro Documentary

What we can learn from this brutality that happened in Cambodia today? Actually, it explains a lot about how many Cambodians think today. Most of them who still have a fresh memory of what happened then or perhaps as told in their grandparents’ stories, they still have a sort of trauma looking at police officers today. Some even do not strive to be smart or skillful because of such trauma. Nonetheless, looking at the present situation of the country, we will see how it is already advancing and moving on. It is actually impressive how they have gone to their feet from zero to something today. I see a great future in Cambodia and the people are really fighting to succeed in spite of the bloody history that they have. I pray that as they heal from the brokenness in those 9 years, they will grow to be loving and forgiving and also trusting people. Their old people may have been victims of power hungry politicians but I pray that their present and future leaders will take care of them and love them as human, as his or her people. May God bless Cambodia. Blog: http://www.lanilaneocbina.online/ FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/ChibiLanilane youtube:    / @lanilaneocbina   Instagram & Tiktok: lanilaneocbina
