THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STORY OF FRIENDSHIP......LONGING FOR A FRIENDSHIP LIKE THIS....

 Job 2

New International Version (NIV)

¹¹ When Job’s three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite, heard about all the troubles that had come upon him, they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him. ¹² When they saw him from a distance, they could hardly recognize him; they began to weep aloud, and they tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads. ¹³ Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him, because they saw how great his suffering was.

 Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite  were the real friends of Job.


Job was very luck to have such friends like these three men. When Job was suffering, they came to Job and helped him suffer.

 

That's the kind of friendship we are all longing for.

Hope we can still find some kind friendship like Job had.

No matter how heavy the sufferings are, 

no matter how hard the trials may be,

if I would have friends like  

Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite,

''LIFE'' would NOT be gloomy!

  

SATAN ALSO TALKED AND HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE LORD

Job 2

New International Version (NIV)

 ² And the LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”

   Satan answered the LORD, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”
 ³ Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. And he still maintains his integrity, though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason.” 

 ⁴ “Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give all he has for his own life. ⁵ But now stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse you to your face.”
 ⁶ The LORD said to Satan, “Very well, then, he is in your hands; but you must spare his life.”
 ⁷ So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head. ⁸ Then Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped himself with it as he sat among the ashes. 

SO NEVER EVER WONDER IF YOU SEE SOMEONE PRAYING DILIGENTLY INSIDE THE CHURCH OR CHAPEL OR A TEMPLE

WHO TURNS OUT TO BE THE MOST DEVILISH PERSON IN THIS WORLD, ENGAGES IN ALL VICES, CROOKEDNESS,  ROBBERIES, AND ALL OTHER CRIMINAL ACTS. TREATS YOU LIKE AN ANGEL, BUT DEEP INSIDE HIM OR HER, THERE'S DARK SPIRIT WANTING TO DESTROY YOU SILENTLY AND SECRETLY.


HE / SHE CHEATS ON YOU. THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED. IF YOU TRUST YOUR HEART AND LIFE TO THEM, THEY WILL BREAK YOU SO EASILY.

 THEY STEAL YOUR PERSONAL PROPERTY, WEALTH, MONEY, FEES OF THE STUDENTS, AND ANYTHING THAT THEY CAN STEAL.

 THEY ALSO STEAL YOUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, AND EVEN YOUR OWN COMPANY.

The old woman is the mother of the criminals..Flordeliza and Manuel Diaz, Jr.

 
THEY ARE VERY HAPPY TO SEE YOU BROKE AND DOWN.


BEWARE OF THIS KIND OF PEOPLE. BEWARE WHO THEY ARE. THEY MIGHT BE SITITNG BESIDE YOU.

SATAN ALSO PRESENTED HIMSELF BEFORE THE LORD...............

Job 2

New International Version (NIV)

¹ On another day the angels^[a] came to present themselves before the LORD, 

 and Satan also came with them to present himself before him. ²

 And the LORD said to Satan, 

 “Where have you come from?”
   Satan answered the LORD, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.” 

SO I SHOULD NOT WONDER IF I SEE JO-ANE NERI AVANCENA INSIDE THE TEMPLE OR IN THE CHOIR LOFT...SHE ROAMS AROUND TO LOOK FOR HER PREY...
BEWARE!

 
 SHE REALLY LOOKS LIKE A DEVIL HERE. THIS PHOTO WAS SHOT WHILE I WAS TEACHING. I JUST FOUND OUT THIS PHOTO IN MY LAPTOP AFTER MY CLASSES ONE DAY IN MY LIFE!

HOW TO WITHSTAND FORCES OF EVIL?

Ephesians 6:10-18

English Standard Version (ESV)

The Whole Armor of God

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. ¹¹  Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. ¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. ¹³ Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. ¹⁴ Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; ¹⁷ and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, ¹⁸ praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
                               ********************
These days, I have been fighting over with the forces of evil. Please help me GOD. Please bless me with the faith that is far more firm and steadfast than the others' here on Earth. Please bless me a heart that is always submissive to Your Will. Please dress me up with Your Holy Spirit, Your Power, and Your Holy words so I won't stumble, instead I endure till the end, till I reach the Holy City.


This is my firm conviction...I AM SAVED COME JUDGMENT DAY!


I have to keep righteousness in my heart, in my mind, in my spirit, and in my life. I have to be holy and  clean in thoughts, in words, and in deeds all the time.


So help me, GOD!
AMEN!

SINGING PRAISES TO THE ALMIGHTY: A THERAPY

 

Singing is a talent which can be innate or not. It's a God-given talent or a pedagogically enhanced one.

Luckily, I have this God-given singing talent. If I can sing songs technically or beautifully, it's because my natural singing talent has been enhanced through joining the choir of the TRUE Church of Christ.

Singing songs of praises for GOD, my Father, is my life. I will die if I won't be singing in the choir loft. Singing songs of praises to the Almighty God is my ONLY THERAPY, wealth, and power. I receive spiritual blessings every time I perform my duties to Him.

I was very, very sick, and paralyzed. I was hospitalized in 2002. I was really ''vegetable''.  I just started walking disgracefully in December 2009. When I was dying of a renal failure and a congenital heart disease, I asked my GOD to give me another chance so I could still sing praises for Him. As I promised, I returned to the choir practice as I started to learn how to walk again in December 2009.

Because of regular attendance at practices and performances, I felt like I had been healed without any medical assistance and without any assistance from any doctors. Indeed, singing of hymns to the Almighty Father is my medicine, the ''authentic drugs'' that can cure all my degenerative diseases. It's a miracle that I am still alive, and that I can still please my Father, do His will, follow all His commandments, and give thanks unto Him through singing of praises.

Early morning tomorrow, I will wake up to prepare myself for the duty that I received from my Creator when I was only 5 years old. The truth is, I started singing when I was 2 years old. But when I was 5 years old, officers of the Seniors' Choir of the Iglesia Ni Cristo in Polillo, Quezon, Philippines, allowed me to sing with them in the choir loft. It's an amazing achievement at a very young age which I must not allow to be taken away.

To ease the pain I feel inside due to sicknesses, trials, sufferings, persecution, discrimination, and hardships, I need to ALWAYS sing praises unto GOD. Singing beautiful songs of praises to Him means a treatment of my sicknesses and the wounds of my heart.

HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL EVEN IF YOU FEEL DISHEARTENED?

Expectation....one positive word...but gives a negative impact if the one who expects falls short of her own expectations.

It's good to have expectations in life. Expectations make us move and carry out our plans. It's the moving spirit within us. Life without hope is dull and boring. If we have lots of things to expect in our lives, we become alive and active.

But what if you fall short of your own expectations? What would you do? Would you take your own life? Would you feel like you are  so hopeless and cannot do anything to stand up and live again? Definitely, it is NOT  a good attitude.

Why not read this passage?

And feel within yourself that your strength comes from GOD, and that no matter what happens in life, you are going to continue what GOD wants you to do and what you plan for in accordance to the laws and commandments of the TRUE LIVING GOD.

I just read the passage and told these to myself. My feeling gets  much better now.
