Have you discovered the PURPOSE God has for YOU? "You are here to KNOW Him and have LIFE in its FULLNESS" 1) 2) 3) 4)

Recognize that you are a SINNER and need a personal relationship with God. Never trust in what you can do to earn the gift of SALVATION Christ has for you. Come under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and SUBMIT to all His ways. Ask for His grace for you to SERVE and follow and obey Him for the rest of your life.

Check these in the Bible if you are serious in wanting a relationship with God, thus fulfill the PURPOSE He has for you: Romans 3:23; 6:23; 10:9 and 13; Gospel of John 1:12 and 3:3 & 7; Gospel of Luke 14:26 & 27

missions to Cagayan de Oro

From the EYES of Ptr JR — It was a joy for me to arrive Cagayan safely last Saturday via Cebu Pacific. Joshua was with me … we left Bacolod on the same day very early in the morning driving all the way to San Carlos City, then Toledo to Cebu. Brothers Jeffrey Salgado and Jay-R Orola were with me for they have volunteered to stay in Cebu for more than a month (April 15 to May 18). They will be doing 3 things there: To strengthen and lead the Worship Team; To be Intercessors of Cebu; To be Small Group Leaders. These young boys does not want their SUMMER to be wasted. Thank God … they are doing Missions in Metro Cebu! Pray for them and support them. Going back to Cagayan de Oro … I am so glad to see the “remnant” of HLM there. They are committed to JESUS. They have been well discipled by Pastors Dante and Pearlie. We had a great adobo meal during our 1st night there together with the YX Bacolod Missions TEAM. My wife Trixie and daughter Trina is part of the TEAM. I salute the YX TEAM for they have sacrificed, adjusted and became faithful to the assignment given them in Cagayan. They did One2One Follow-Ups with ALL OUR CONTANCTS THERE! Believe it of not … na ubos nila ang booklet with lots of people … they were focused in Disciple Making even for a short time. They shared to many people using the Evangecube as well! They also had a HIGH LEVEL Encounter Weekend during the Holy Week. I was able to lead a Call Conference during my 2nd night. I was also able to discus the probability of having a PLACE (Venue) there in Cagayan within 2 months time. I am also praying for a Pastor for Cagayan this 2009. I will do my very best to promote CDO’s needs and welfare for them to be strengthened as a body of Christ in Mindanao. As you read this column … I pray God will start a work in you, let me know immediately — jr here :-) Days 1 to 14 Report are found at www.youthxtreme.multiply.com

Guide Notes for April 19, 2009 HLM SOUTH 9:30am Robinsons Cybergate with Pastor Armin

The Secret of Satisfaction Matthew 5:6 (Ph) "Happy are those who are hungry and thirsty for true goodness, for they will be fully satisfied."

1. Why are so many so unsatisfied? You don't find lasting satisfaction in PLEASURE. "No matter how much we see, we are never satisfied; no matter how much we hear we are never content." Eccl. 1:8 (LB) "... the pleasures of sin last a short time." Heb 11:25

You don't find lasting satisfaction in PERFORMANCE. "What does a man get for all his hard work? Days full of sorrow and grief, and restless nights." Eccl. 2:23 (LB) “You work for something with all your skill, and then you have to leave it all to someone who hasn't had to work for it." Eccl. 2:21 (GN) “(Man) is always working, never satisfied." Eccl. 4:8 (GN)

You don't find lasting satisfaction in POSSESSIONS. "He who loves money will never have enough. The foolishness of thinking wealth brings happiness." Eccl. 5:10 (LB) The Secret of Satisfaction: "Seek your happiness in the Lord, and He will give you your heart's desire." Psalm 37:4

2. How to experience satisfaction in life ? Recognize my REAL HUNGER "God humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna ... He did this to help you realize that real life comes by obeying every command of God." Deut 8:3 (LB)

stop EATING JUNK FOOD "Why spend your money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Isaiah 55:2

Start LOoKING TO CHRIST FOR SATISFACTION Jesus said, "I am the Bread of Life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty ... If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever!" John 8:35, 51 Jesus said, "Whoever drinks water will get thirsty again; but whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty again ... It will become in him a spring of living water ... " John 4:13-14 (GN) See also Matthew 6:33 - April 26 - Bacolod: Cinema 4 with USA Guests

Guide Notes for April 19, 2009 Iloilo HLM 930am, Del Rio Hotel with Pastor Eric

.. greatest .. SERVANTS THE GREATEST ARE THE SERVANTS The word servant goes against our nature because we want to be served rather than to serve. But the Lord said that if you want to be great you must be a servant. And there is no doubt that God intends for every Christian to be involved in the work of the Lord by serving others. In the Bible the word “service” and “ministry” are the same word so the word “servant” and “minister” are the same word. All of us are called to do something. You were made to make a contribution, not just to consume. There is no doubt that God intends for every Christian to be involved in the work of the Lord. The Bible shows us that the Church is made up of all kinds of different people. We are very diverse in our interests and talents. But in Christ, we stand together as one body of people. In 1st Corinthians 12:4-7 it says—4Now there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but it is the same Holy Spirit who is the source of them all. 5 There are different kinds of service in the church, but it is the same Lord we are serving. 6 There are different ways God works in our lives, but it is the same God who does the work through all of us. 7A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church.

God made you unique and your uniqueness is not for your benefit. 1st Peter 4:10 said, “Each one should use whatever gift he’s received to serve others.”

COMMON REASONS WHY WE DON’T MINISTER

I DON’T HAVE THE TIME. Ecclesiastes 3:1 “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:” It's a fact that people are busy these days. Or at least we think we are. The truth is that we make time for what is most important to us. We spend our time on what is valuable to us.

I DON’T HAVE THE TALENT. But see what Ephesians 2:10 has to say.

HOW TO BE A GREAT SERVANT 1. Follow Christ's example. (Philippians 2:5-6)

2. Try some ministries until you find your PLACE. God never wastes anything. He would not give you abilities, interest, talents, gifts, personality, and life experiences unless He intended to use them for His Glory. Iloilo: with Special Surprise Speaker
